Really... seriously... according to the weather reports, we're suppose to be getting another 6-12 inches of snow coming in tonight/tomorrow. Wonderful.
As of right now, nobody at my office is planning on even attempting the drive in tomorrow. So basically the office will be shut down due to the weather & we will all have to use PTO (personal time off) time if we have it OR... just not get paid. I can really use the money right now & really can't afford to be missing any more work than I absolutely have to, but it's not worth getting out & risking the drive, so I will be sitting at home. Snowed in again. Great.
I'm sure Fred will make his way out of the house tomorrow, but Kayla & I will be left holding down the fort by ourselves once again. Not that we mind, because at least we'll be inside the house where it's warm. It's just that I'm not ready to be cooped up again.
All I can hope for is that Kayla is in a good mood & won't be fussy all day long. Maybe I can actually get some unpacking done & make some progress around the house tomorrow. Ideally it would be nice if my hubby could stay home & spend the day with us... but I know that would never happen, unfortunately.
I'm sure I will blogging more tomorrow... so until then, everyone bundle up & stay warm tonight!

She-Ra Princess Of Power
So last night I decided to make Pioneer Woman's Apple Dumplings... yum! Apparently I wasn't aware of my own strength & in the process of slicing the second apple, the apple slicer blades decided to break mid-slice & almost slice my right thumb off. Awesome.
From all the blood, you would have thought that my thumb should've been hanging off my hand by just a thread of skin, but after the the wound finally stopped bleeding, it wasn't actually that bad. It's crazy how the smallest of wounds seem to bleed so bad.
I felt like She-Ra Princess Of Power or a direct decendant of hers.
I can honestly say that last night's dessert was made with blood, sweat & tears though... & mean it! Ha Ha
Now with that said, I wonder if She-Ra Princess Of Power can make the crazy snow blizzards go away? This crazy weather we've been having here needs to vanish & quickly. I'm ready for summer time or at least nicer weather to arrive soon.
And from what the weather people are saying now... we're in store for another snow day like we had last week. Ugh. Someone just shoot me now please.

Mommy's Little Angel
As I held you in my arms that very first day, I knew I would never let any harm come your way.
With your tiny little hands and tiny little feet, Everytime I look at you my heart skips a beat.
As I watch you sleep in the middle of the night, I hope and pray I will do everything right.
I know I may make some mistakes along the way, But I promise to do my best not to every single day.
I often wonder what you will grow up to be, But whatever you become will be fine with me.
So whatever you may decide to do in your life, Maybe an astronaut, a lawyer, or even a doctor's wife.
I can say this without any doubt at all, I will always be there to catch you if you fall.
And another promise I make to you from me, Mommy's little angel you will always be.

Snow week almost over
Well here we are... we've almost made it thru this crazy weather that's been thrown our way this week. I think it snowed about a million inches on Monday/Tuesday, which ended up locking us all in our homes for two days.
Tuesday was a very non productive day for me. I tried to catch up on some much needed rest & relaxation but then yesterday, I told myself that I really needed to kick it into action & take advantage of the fact I was at home & get some stuff accomplished. I re-organized Kayla's bedroom & got things in better order. I put away all the new born clothes that she's outgrown & hung up all the 0-3 month outfits that she can now fit into. I know it won't be long before she'll have to start sleeping in her bedroom in her crib... I'm not quite sure I'm ready for that just yet either. The thought of not being able to wake up at random points in the middle of the night & just glance over to see my sleeping love bug in her bassinet... ugh maybe I should think about replacing the bassinet with her crib next to our bed so I don't have to even think about that. Nah just kidding. I know that's a habit I shouldn't even think about starting, bad, bad. It's like I'm already having separation anxiety & she hasn't even started sleeping in her own bedroom yet. Kinda scary huh.
I started thinking today... Kayla doesn't have a Valentine's Day outfit. I will have to take care of that this weekend for sure. Her first Valentine's Day is approaching & she has to have a special outfit for it, I mean come on. What kind of mother would I be if I didn't dress my love bug up for her first V-Day, geez.
In exactly 6 more days, she'll officially be 2 months old. Is that really possible? Has it already been 2 months? What happened... did I somehow sleep thru a few days somewhere & not realize it? In some ways it feels like it's been longer then 2 months but in other ways I can't figure out where the time has gone. I know that sounds confusing, but that's just exactly how it feels to me.
I can't say how happy I am that tomorrow is Friday. Even though because of the snow days, I've only physically been at work 2 days so far, it's just been a long week.
Once again... Kayla & I await her daddy's arrival home this evening & yes it's after 10pm. I have to admit that this has gotten past the point of old & I only wish for him to at least set aside certain days every week to make a point to be at home at a decent hour to spend quality time with his family & especially with Kayla. I'm starting to feel like a single mom & I don't like that feeling.
The sad part is that I can't make anyone change their priorities, they have to want to change them on their own.

Snow day
My idea of having a snow day was almost perfect today.
Work was officially shut down & nobody went in...check.
We have plenty of groceries in the house...check.
I didn't have to get out & drive anywhere...check.
It's approaching 7pm & I'm still sporting my pj's...check.
Hubby & me snuggled up on the couch watching movies & snacking all day...nope.
However my wonderful husband did make me a wonderful breakfast this morning which I'm very grateful for. Somehow I'm confused though... if I cook, then I clean up the kitchen, but if he cooks then I still have to clean up the kitchen. Am I missing something?
Kayla has been all warm, fuzzy & snuggly all day long. There's a lot to be thankful for on this dreadfully freezing snow day. I do wish that my husband was here snuggled up with me on the couch instead of somewhere else. Unfortunately he's been gone all day & won't be back until... I'm not quite sure yet. His strong point is definitely not calling to check in very often, if ever. I'm usually the one who ends up calling him to find out what time he'll be coming home or what's going on.
From the looks of the weather outside, it's not looking very promising for travel tomorrow. I'm not quite sure how I feel about this just yet either. Being stuck inside for another day, ugh. On the other hand, at least we're staying warm. Just kinda sucks being cooped up in the house after spending the past 2 months pretty much cooped up with being prego & then having Miss Kayla.
Hopefully hubby will return home soon & we'll spend the evening together as a family.
Now... I should probably go clean the kitchen so I can figure out what to make for dinner this evening.

up to 20 inches
Well here we go again... according to the weather people, parts of Oklahoma could get up to 20 inches of snow tonight/tomorrow. Really, geez. What is Mother Nature thinking right now. I guess since we really haven't had any crazy weather this year, apparently she thinks we're due for it. Who knows.
On one hand, it's a nice thought that I more than likely won't be making the drive to work tomorrow, but on the other hand... I'm not ready to be cooped up inside the house again. I feel like I've been cooped up in the house for over 2 months now.
I've been wanting to make a trip to the store for a week now, but unfortunately I haven't gotten the chance to do so. Luckily my husband made a grocery run today while I was at work to pick up a few necessary items to get us thru the next few days in case we're stuck in the house.
My little love bug Kayla is all nice & cozy in her swing tonight. She has no worries of being cold, because she knows that her mommy will cuddle with her to assure her warmth.
My goal for this evening is to sleep. I know that might sound stupid, but... considering I got absolutely no sleep Saturday night, then got to bed late last night & I just need to catch up on some Z's. So everyone cross your fingers that I achieve my one small goal, ha ha.
I know this blog was boring, but for now that's about all my brain can handle. I've had this killer headache all day long & after two doses of tylenol, it's still there & appears to not be going away anytime soon. Ugh.

A little attention
These days I'm really slacking with the blogs... I know.
The sad thing is that I'll start one, not finish & then by the time I get back to it... days have passed & then I'll think of something else to write about instead. Ugh.
So let's start with this past week.
Last Sunday was my sweetheart's birthday. I asked him what he wanted for dinner & his request was KFC, so that's what he got & I stopped by Braums & picked up for ice cream for us also.
Monday, the nurse came & Kayla weighed in at 9lbs 9oz... wow! She's growing so fast already. She has already emerged from her New Born clothes, they are a little past snug at this point. Her hair has gotten lighter too. Unfortunately I was only able to take pics of her in just a few of her new born outfits before she out grew them. :(
I've officially been back to work full time for 2 weeks now. Let's just say it's been a long two weeks. At first it was hard not to think about Kayla during the day & I even made a few trips during my lunch hour to my parents house to visit her, but with each day it's gotten a little easier for me. I use to not mind working after 5pm if there were things that needed to be done, but nowdays I can't help but think every minute after 5pm that I'm still at work... well that's taking away from my evening time with my family & I don't like that.
I can't speak for everyone but I know for me, I can't wait to see my hubby & our baby & spend as much time in the evenings together as we can before it's time to pass out... then we get up the next morning & do it all over again. This is such a mundane routine from Monday thru Friday. We spend more time at work then we do with our families. That seems backwards to me, but I guess that's called life.
For the most part, I've felt on the up & up lately. But I also have days where I feel lonely & need a little extra attention. I want to be surprised with a date night. I want that phone call that says "honey I can't wait to get home, I'll be there in 15 minutes"... & he actually show up in 15 minutes instead of several hours later. I love being a mom... but first & foremost, I love being a wife. Somedays are just hard for me when he's not here or doesn't show up until 9 or 10 during the week nights. To me it just feels like he's not in a rush to get home to spend time with our family.
The bottom line is, I think we're past due for another date night, but why do I always have to be the one who has to ask for one? Why can't he come up with a plan & tell me that he's taking me out? I hate asking for attention. Seriously, no girl wants to have to ask for attention. It doesn't mean as much when we have to ask for stuff. Am I right? Ugh.
Well speaking of which, me & Kayla are just chillin at home by ourselves tonight... again. Hubby left yesterday to head out west & won't be returning until sometime in the morning. My bet is it will be more like afternoon/evening though... that just seems to always be my luck. Hence the reason why I feel like he's never in a rush to get home to us.
I did however start cleaning the inside of my truck before it got dark outside tonight. It's long past due for a cleaning inside & out. I'm hoping that I will get a chance to finish cleaning it tomorrow & maybe even give it a bath. This all depends on Miss Kayla & if she's in a good enough mood to allow me to step outside to do so or not. Or... if her daddy happens to be home to watch her while I finish.
The weather was absolutely awesome today. Almost 80 degrees, how un-believeable is that?
Then come Monday/Tuesday, according to the weather dudes it's supposed to snow. Welcome to Oklahoma I guess, geez. So with that said, a grocery store trip is on the agenda for tomorrow as well.
Well it's 11pm & Miss Kayla should be waking up soon from her beauty rest. Personally I don't think she could possibly get any more beautiful but hey... that's just my opinion. (wink)
