Every day a new subject has popped in my head, but I have not had time to sit down and write about any of them. In a rare occurrence, I woke up on my own at 7am! So I am stealing a few minutes before Dad and Baby awaken. Here’s the latest:

Little Man

Sometimes I get blindsided by what a little “person” you have become. I know I still baby you, and I will for as long as you will let me. But when I see you biting your nails, I just have to laugh…we don’t know where you got the habit from! Neither of us are nail-biters. Yesterday was an interesting day. A true hearted toddler day. You cried over everything. You would get mad and throw books on the floor or knock over containers with a million toys in them. One tantrum came as a direct result of taking the leaky cup of water away and replacing it with a non leaky cup of water. I was at the end of my rope when I smelled the second *diaper* of the day. Just as I began wiping, I heard Scott yelling. I hurriedly finished with you and plopped you on the floor diaperless and went tearing ass outside. I thought for sure I would find Scott with some broken limb, having fallen 10 feet off the ladder where he was working. Nope, he just needed the hammer. Sure enough, I came back inside to find you had peed in the chair. I put you in the bath tub just for a few minutes of sanity. Just another day in paradise.

The Building

And then there’s the storage building. A LOT happened yesterday. Scott put the walls and roof trusses up yesterday. He had them all ready to go, and they had been stacked on the “floor” covered with a tarp. We were waiting to get plywood to “dry in” the building (put a roof on it) and avoid any warping. It was amazing to see so much change yesterday, every hour brought another wall, or a roof. It is really looking like a building now, I can’t wait until it is done! It will be so incredible to say “we built that.” And by “we” I mean Scott! He has worked so hard, he says he’s having fun, I hope so! Anywho, here are the pics:

And last but not least…The Weight

Scott took a picture of me at the car show we went to last weekend. It was devastating to be honest. I can’t believe I look like that. I can look in a small mirror and convince myself otherwise, hiding behind baggy clothes. But my head looked tiny on top of my huge body. I feel awful. So I am embarking on my third weight loss journey. Hopefully to be successful this time. Pray for me. And there will be no picture with this entry
