Are you there Bloggers? It's me, Amy...

You now what ? Time has a way of getting the best of me. I really thought being back at work would make time slow down, but the days feel shorter now. I just cant seem to be able to find the time to be a working momma with a life and a blog, but here we are. 10:00 pm on a Thursday night, before a Friday I took off to get ready for my boys party:) 1 year. 12 months.52 weeks.365 days. I literally cannot believe it, as I replay those numbers through my mind at about 1,000 km/minute. I'm not quite sure what happened to my 8lb babes, but he has turned into something far beyond what my wildest dreams could have imagined for myself. Someone that laughs when you kiss his tummy, who dances around when he gets a bite off your plate, who waves hello and goodbye, even if you're not coming or going, who sleeps 11 hours a night solid in his crib, who squeals in excitement for every bath, loves to feed himself, play with his toys, sleep in the car, "sings" and dances to any tune tha...

I just came across a bunch of pictures I never shared as I was going through them, deleting off my phone because I was running out of room for pics and video lol...and since I've been a bad blogger lately, I will keep up that pace and only post pictures and not a real post loll Out for breakfast at Denny's  Hi mommy, I'm up from my nap! Ready to go out with daddy Going out to look at the Christmas lights At the cottage for the day His hearing test Little stud in his suit When he started learning to smile Psst, marty! I'm right behind you!

Perfect Sunday --Garett is down for his morning nap, I have a hot chocolate, a made for TV movie and a comfy blanket!!  Our January date was supposed to be the Jim Belushi show, but he post poned until April, so instead we opted for an easy date.  There's a lot of movies out right now we want to see, but most I'm fine with just buying on Apple TV when they come out. However, war movies are a MUST at the theatre, so Tyler's sister spent some time at our place with the little man while we headed out to see Lone Survivor. What a powerful movie. It's tough to watch because it's so raw and they didn't hold anything back. But any great movie should make you "feel " things. It's a must see! We headed into Orleans for dinner at Delicious Steakhouse for some appetizers, steak and a glass of wine. To make dinner more interesting, we agreed to share a big long booth with another couple (since it was so busy and we didn't want to wait lol). They were in th...

What a day!!  My counterpart at work was away today, so I was thrown into deep,d ark waters with no life raft and before I had a chance to hold my breath. I guess it helped me get back into my groove though!! And not to toot my own horn but at least 5 individual people have gone out of their way to either hug me to death or praise the heavens I'm back...nothing like feeling needed :) Next week I get to start working 7-3!!! Wooootwooot!!! Tonight, I am sitting on my butt all night and possibly going to bed early !!! Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

That's right, folks. It was back to work for me this week.  Since Monday was a write off and I was home, Tuesday I woke up bright eyed and bushy tailed--until the 1 hour and 45 minute drive into work quickly shut me the hell up. Construction mixed with a bunch of poor drivers...bad way to start off. But work is good. The break was nice. I enjoy going. I enjoy talking to adults. I like all of the new people I've met so far.  I don't like : "It must be hard to be back, you must miss your son". Thanks for reminding me. Yes I miss him, no duh. Yes it's hard, double duh. "Do you have any pictures?"...no. I have zero pictures ever of my own child. Of course I have pictures, but unless you want to see all 328 just on my phone from this week, don't bother asking. "Wow that went fast!" ....damn right it went fast. Maybe I should go home then. "Where is he today?"..... Omg!!!where is my kid?! I know exactly where he is, but that doesn...

Well, today is was supposed to be back at work. Didn't work out that way! I was nervous to venture out in this and Tyler was adamant I don't risk it, so here I am, again home. The weather we've even having is out of control. Sub zero temperatures, mounds of snow and ice..and it's the beginning on January, I am not built for this. I want to move to the Caribbean.  Not much new to report--knowing yesterday was supposed to be my last day, we hung out at home, cuddled, played, watched Argo (fantastic movie , by the way), I made some honey garlic pork chops, vegetable rice and corn for dinner and went to bed as soon as Garett went down (9pm). Same will probably happen today! Lol Happy Monday everyone. Be safe!

I struggle every year to remember to write the new date. Pretty normal I think. But I also catch myself still writing "1999" too...I'm loving in the past apparently lol. Point form thoughts:  It is CRAZY cold out there today--and I'm not happy about all the snow they're calling for on Sunday/Monday. I just want nice clear roads for my back to work arrival lol. I will drive the first few days since I have some stuff to bring back (boxes) and while I figure out my internal struggle with red and white limo (city buses) or coach busses since the schedules are a bit different, I want to know which works best for me. I'm Almost all caught up on washing cups from our NYE party. Next house :dish washer mandatory. Our spare room still looks like toy land with unopened toys  Garett tried eggs for the first time this morning. They were devoured. Guess he liked them. I can't wait to see him try cake lol I need groceries. Bad. Going to make some picco de gallo today as...
