End of an Era
Current mood: bummed

Can anyone please explain to me why Rent has to leave Broadway? September 7th is the last show. Sigh...enough said.

Best Christmas Present Ever!

Last night after having the most amazing Christmas, courtesy of Amy and Jennifer, I got some very exciting news.

My Critique was sitting in my inbox.  I looked it over and aside from a few minor errors and some formatting additions, my manuscript is ready for the market.

I could never have dreamed that it would be so solid.  Yeah, I have learned a lot in the years that I have been writing, but I was sure that I was still "wet behind the ears" so to speak.  I could never have dreamed that I could craft a story that could be snatched up "as is!"

Gotta love it.  I am relieved truly, just kind of shocked that is all happening so fast.  I cannot wait to get this thing on the market.  Thank you all so much for your love and support!

I am a signed Author!
Current mood: ecstatic

I sent in my contract to the literary agency this morning!  I am so super excited.  Maybe someday soon you will all see my name in print!  Whoo hoo!  Now I just have to wait for my critique to get finished and then I will be able to contact my agent!  My dream is finally coming true.  How cool is that?

When did my baby grow up?

So, I was sitting on here on the computer and decided to look at the old pictures that I have up on Myspace.  How in the world has Bidi changed so much in a year?

She still looked like a baby last September and now she looks like a little girl.  Sigh...I love her so much, but I never knew that the saying that they grow up too fast is true.  Sure I will have the second one and she will grow up even faster.  I guess I am just feeling all sappy tonight for some reason.

The reason we have kids is for them to grow up and become productive adults, right?  No one really tells you how hard that is until you see it first hand.  My Bidi baby is growing up, and I thought it would be an eternity before that happened. 

It seems like only yesterday that she was a 6 12oz newborn and depended on me for everything.  Now she is a 32lb toddler that manages to become just a little more independent everyday.

I just wonder what the difference will be once next year rolls around.  It's going to be amazing and heartbreaking all at the same time.

Sorry for the sap.  Just had to let it out.

Barely Awake
Current mood: tired

I have been meaning to post a new blog for a couple of days, but there seems to be a haze clouding everything that I have been doing lately.

This weekend was busy, but I am glad that I was able to get out of the house and go see Amy and hang out for Grace's party.  I look like a very tired whale, but I know this too shall pass.  I will have a baby soon and be back to a normal size and my feet will be able to fit in my regular size shoes again.  I hope.  Haha.

Whistle is doing much better as of recently.  We were able to leave her in the car when we went to Walmart...it all would have been perfect if she hadn't gotten her leash royally tangled in the seat.  Here's to hoping that we will be able to leave her home soon, at least for short periods of time.  The back seat of the car will be a little crowded with two kids and a dog.

I should do some writing or folding of laundry, but oh well.  Tomorrow is another day.  Though I really should fold the laundry.  Oh man, responsibilities...  My manuscript is almost done...whaaa...I have been wasting time again.  But being lazy is so conveinient at 35 weeks pregnant.  Am I wrong?

7 Foot tall fences.

Who would have thought that my dog would be so desperate to get to me that she would jump a 7 foot tall fence 4 times to get to me?  It's sweet in a way, but oh so annoying.  I love her to death, but the fact that I can't even been 20 feet away from her if she doesn't see me is absurd.

She has to be litarally at my side at all times when we are some place new, and I cannot leave my own house without her most of the time.  It will be wonderful to crate train her at least I know that she will be safe and that she can't get out and get herself hurt.

Anti anxiety pills here I come.  Hopefully they will kick in before I have to leave for a day plus when we have this baby.  She is such a love bug and everyone loves her to death, but man is she clingy.  Hope it gets better with time.

Let Sleeping Dogs Lie....

It's facinating.  I am sitting here on the computer, and the dog is crashed under the computer desk.  The window is open and the street is loud.  She hasn't budged an inch.  I want to go take a shower, but I know that she will wake up at that point and then proceed to lay in the bathroom until I am done.  I guess I'll just wait until Charles gets home and see if he can distract her for me.

Come October I am going to be one busy girl  Between Lydia, Whistle, and the new one someone will be attached to my hip at all times.  That's life I guess.

Seriously, deaf dogs are awesome!  She "woofed" in her sleep earlier and I just about jumped out of my chair.  This dog is too silent sometimes.  Must brag.  She has learned the sit command.  That puts her total of signals to three.  Yay, Whistle!
Sit
Come
and
Down.

We will work on lay down next.  I am so proud of her!

Dinner is here.  Yummy!

Two-year-olds!
Current mood: tired

Don't get me wrong, I love my daughter more than life itself, but this stage called "The Terrible Twos" is driving me up the walls.  My sweet natured cuddle bug is living up to her nickname, "Monster" more and more everyday.

I am beginning to wonder if I can handle two.  Well at least they will keep me in shape.  I just hope Lydia grows out of this defiant stage quickly, or she will be spending more time in her room than outside of it.  I have never been so annoyed by the word no before in my entire life.  I just can't wait for the teenage years, because she is already well on her way at being a pro.

It is just strange how fast they grow up.  Wasn't she a baby just a little while ago?  Man, she is so fun lately though.  She actually enjoys watching movies now and she interacts with them.  I am highly amused most days, because she is just too proud of herself.  I love her so much...

Tiny little terror
Current mood: cranky

So, Lydia is as sweet as anything, but man is she a pain in the butt some times.  The day started off bad, because we were driving to sacramento, well, Apple Hill, and I left her sippies of milk in the fridge, so she was mad because I swear she needs a milk IV or something...ah are there addiction counselors for 18 month olds?  Well then, even though it is a two hour ride and she is tired and wants a nap she doesn't sleep...The trip was fun, but we ended up going home, because it wasn't toddler friendly.

So, we go to KFC to get something to eat and all she does is scream and cry, because she is so tired that she is a complete dilerious.  After we got home she cried because Jenn touched her toe...HER FREAKING TOE...so that was it.  She went down for a nap after that.   She was okay for the rest of the night, but she was not happy about being awake, you could tell.  I just haye taking her out when she does this, especially on my own.  Oh, well, this should only last for a while and hopefully my sanity will hold.  I love her to bits, but man, can she test my patience sometimes.

Good Lord. Why does nothing work?

Why do I have to be so computer illeterate some times?  I cannot get my profile to turn out the way I want it, nor can I post a picture to Baby Center, because I have no idea what I am doing wrong!!!Grrr...why do I even bother sometimes.  It just drives me up the wall.  Oh well, what I have up will do fine for now until my Brilliant husband rescues me.  I am so sick of being lame.

It tiles when I don't want it tiled and the backround color is covering half of my picture.  The current Layout is supposed to be baby otters, but I did something to louze that up...I think I almost put the plural for lice up there.  Slang who knows.

Otherwise things seem to be going okay here...well, I have been eating too many cherries and it is too hot, but things are alright.  I am bored...maybe, I could find a pool  and take Bidi swimming.  OH WAIT, I can't swim, and she doesn't like water, so that wouldn't work.  Any ideas?
