I’m not known for my milk of human kindness in a disaster. Don’t get me wrong. I’m a survivor.

But I won’t be doing it with positive phrases and a smile.</span></i></span></div><div class="yiv44743164MsoNormal" style="line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="line-height: 32px;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">“Hon, I just don’t know. We’ll call a plumber after work, maybe it’s coming from under the house.” Matt staggered a little, trying to get past me and out of our tiny bathroom.</span></i></span></div><div class="yiv44743164MsoNormal" style="line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="line-height: 32px;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">“Well, that’s just great,” I moved aside and pulled the shower curtain back so I could perch on the side of the tub and give Matt room to move out the door.</span></i></span></div><div class="yiv44743164MsoNormal" style="line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="line-height: 32px;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">That’s when the full brunt of nastiness filled the air around us, a swirling mix of excrement and acrid stench that would have brought the sewer dwelling Ninja Turtles to their knees.

A worker shrouded in a black suit pulled a set of keys from his pocket and unlatched a small locker labeled “Owen Bank Account.” Inside were two small stacks of quarters and a few crumpled dollar bills. It was bleak, not only because the banker with an unimaginative wardrobe gazed at me with an expression that could only be interpreted as “You’re a Big Fat Loser,” but also there was a very definite possibility we wouldn’t be able to pay for a plumber.</span></i></span></div><div class="yiv44743164MsoNormal" style="line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="line-height: 32px;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I wasn’t necessarily a spend thrift. In fact, I was downright frugal when it came to decorating with thrift store furniture and rewired vintage lamps. But the fact was, we were poor. We were starting out at starter jobs with starter salaries. We were starter adults with a starter bank account.</span></i></span></div><div class="yiv44743164MsoNormal" style="line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="line-height: 32px;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">“Okay,” I nodded numbly, thankful that Matt was taking the lead on such a disastrous biohazard. “But make sure the plumber is super cheap. We don’t have much money!”</span></i></span></div><div class="yiv44743164MsoNormal" style="line-height: 32px; margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="line-height: 32px;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">I left for work like a wino stumbling through a fog, not really remembering my commute, not really doing any work as I sipped my coffee and stared blankly at the computer screen. A disaster of such gargantuan proportions had previously been unthinkable in my life, and now I found myself attempting to push the image of a vast sea of bathtub poop from my mind. But I was sure of one thing: Anne Shirley never had to get ready for work while breathing raw sewage.</span></i></span></div><div><span style="line-height: 32px;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;"><br />

Since she turned one she seems so much older! <br />
<br />
Addie is now off of all her bottles, she eats only table food (with the exception of those awesome fruit and veggie squeeze pouches) and is WALKING! She took her first steps on Memorial Day and then decided for about 2 weeks that walking was a mistake and went back to just crawling. Well in the past week or so she has progressed to walking at least 50 percent of the time and as of yesterday she walked almost anywhere she wanted to go. She can't stand up on her own yet so she has to crawl over to something to pull up but once she is up she will walk from there! It is too cute to see her wobbling all over the house.<br />
<br />
Here are some pictures of the past few weeks:<br />

Map Quest really needs to start their directions on # 5. I’m pretty sure I know how to get out of my neighborhood. <br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />8. Obituaries would be a lot more interesting if they told you how the person died. <br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />9.

You never know when it will strike, but there comes a moment at work when you know that you just aren’t going to do anything productive for the rest of the day.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />12.

I’m always slightly terrified when I exit out of Word and it asks me if I want to save any changes to my ten-page technical report that I swear I did not make any changes to.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />14. “Do not machine wash or tumble dry” means I will never wash this – ever. <br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />15. I hate when I just miss a call by the last ring (Hello? Hello? **** it!), but when I immediately call back, it rings nine times and goes to voice mail. What did you do after I didn’t answer? Drop the phone and run away?<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />16.

I love the sense of camaraderie when an entire line of cars team up to prevent a jerk from cutting in at the front. Stay strong, brothers and sisters!<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />27. Shirts get dirty. Underwear gets dirty. Pants? Pants never get dirty, and you can wear them forever. <br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />28. Is it just me or do high school kids get dumber & dumber every year? <br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />29. There’s no worse feeling than that millisecond you’re sure you are going to die after leaning your chair back a little too far.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />30. As a driver I hate pedestrians, and as a pedestrian I hate drivers, but no matter what the mode of transportation, I always hate bicyclists.<br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />31. Sometimes I’ll look down at my watch 3 consecutive times and still not know what time it is. <br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" /><br style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" />32. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey – but I’d bet my *** everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time!</span><br />

<br />
Get ready for rambling and pictures...ready? Okay!<br />
<br />
<br />

I have a 10 month old. {how is she double digit months?}<br />
<br />
The upside to having a 10 month old is that it isn't quite as ridiculous to start planning her birthday party! {I may, or may not, have been 'planning' for like 3 months now....}<br />
<br />
I finally decided on a theme...it's based off of the <a href="http://www.birthdayexpress.com/Pink-Mod-Monkey-Ultimate-Party-Pack/67158/PartyKitDetail.aspx">Pink Mod Monkey</a> collection from <a href="http://birthdayexpress.com/">Birthday Express</a>.<br />

How cute is that little monkey? I think it is fitting since Addie is turning into quite the climber and dare devil. She has no fear of gravity..that's for sure!<br />
<br />
Did you know there are tons of etsy sellers who make fabulous products to coordinate with themes you can buy at big box retailers and major internet party stores? It's awesome!<br />
<br />
I'm ordering mylar balloons, napkins and dessert plates from Birthday Express and have ordered banners, a door sign and cake topper from etsy. I'm pretty excited! <br />
<br />
I've designed her invitations and I'm just waiting to have a little photo shoot with her Mimi to get the picture to go on them. I've always enjoyed graphic design and after checking out the options for invitations on etsy I think I will be adding invitation services to my etsy shop very soon! {I'll let you know when they are up!}<br />
<br />
<br />
Basically her party is going to be pink and green polka dots with a little monkey thrown in. :)Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8206447214241537427.post-68941238938888374822011-02-08T10:18:00.000-06:002011-02-08T10:18:34.121-06:00brought to you by the letter 'P'A couple weeks ago when the weather was <b>p</b>retty and not winter like at all, Addie and I went to the <b>P</b>ark for a little <b>P</b>icnic of <b>p</b>uffs and <b>p</b>ictures!<br />
<br />
My main reason in going was to let her try out the swings but apparently I <b>p</b>icked the only <b>p</b>ark in history to not have a swing set in the <b>p</b>layground. (What is up with that?!)<br />

</div> Addie is a seasoned pro at crawling and pulling up. She can sit on her own (and sits just like I did as a baby!) and gets into EVERYTHING. When I say everything I mean it. She loves to look (and rip) at my magazines, she loves digging stuff out of bags and purses, tries to get the xbox and cable box out of the entertainment stand, pulls everything off of coffee tables and ottomans and opens and closes doors...she is a little stinker!<br />

</div> Addie also is in love with Baylee. She likes to visit her in 'jail' aka. the laundry room! Lots of giggles and doggy kisses happen through that baby gate! Baylee is great with kids but is so hyper that we can't trust her yet to run around in the house with Addie. One day she will get to though! Addie will love it.<br />

Mozzarella will do as well. :) She also has started to like bananas.

Nope. Too much baggage.<br />

<br />
Someone knocks on your window at 2:00 a.m.: who do you want it to be?<br />

"Carried To the Table"- Leeland; "In Christ Alone"<br />
<br />
What do you do as soon as you walk in the house?<br />
Usually throw my keys on the table, deposit the baby somewhere (safe, don't worry!) and run to use the facilities. Cause its not very easy to maneuver a baby in a public bathroom.<br />

Wrapping paper or gift bags? Wrapping paper and real ribbon. <br /><br />2. Real tree or Artificial? I love the look and smell of a real tree but don't love the sinus infections it brings me...so artificial.<br /><br />3. When do you put up the tree? 2 days after Thanksgiving. I shop on Black Friday so I wouldn't have the energy for decorating! </span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; "><br />4. When do you take the tree down? A couple days after Christmas. I want it back in the attic for New Years<br /><br />5. Do you like eggnog? Sorta<br /><br />6. Favorite gift received as a child?

Addie or my sister<br /><br />9. Do you have a nativity scene? yes. And Baby Jesus had a little incident the other night...I need some super glue.<br /><br />10. Mail or email Christmas cards? Mail!<br /><br />11. Worst Christmas gift you ever received? Probably a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geode">Geode</a> from 'Santa'. It was uncracked and I thought it was a lump of coal so I was pretty devastated until my parents told me what it was. Then I was excited. LOL</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; "><br />12. Favorite Christmas Movie? Home Alone (the first one) or Elf<br /><br />13.

A star and some berry sprig things<br /><br />21. Open the presents Christmas Eve or morning? My family always opened gifts Christmas Eve and then we just did Santa on Christmas morning. My husbands family did everything on Christmas morning. So, I'm not sure what we will do with Addie.<br /><br />22. Favorite children's Christmas song? Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer<br /><br />23. Most annoying thing about this time of the year? Jerky people out shopping. Oh, and trying to figure out what to get my husband.

I like vintage-y stuff...and apparently this year its all Red, Green and white. I have a general snowman theme to my decor...but this year I made a Santa themed tree as well.<br /><br />25. Turkey or ham on Christmas day? Ham<br /><br />26. What do you want for Christmas this year? I'm having a hard time coming up with anything.<br /><br />27. Does anyone in your family dress up as Santa? No.<br /><br />28. Age you discovered who Santa was? First or Second grade. But I was okay with it because I figured it out by seeing the Barbie Dream house that Santa brought me in my parents trunk before hand. <br /><br />29. Eggnog, hot chocolate, or apple cider? Hot Chocolate</span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; "><br />30. Traditional colors (red and green) or other colors?

To receive: either...to give? Gifts.<br /><br />34. Favorite children's Christmas Cartoon?

So, here are a few of the things I'm planing to do to baby proof Christmas!<div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><b>The Tree</b></div><div>Obviously we need to talk about the tree. I've had a couple people tell me to just not put a tree up! But, I'm the crazy lady with 3 Christmas trees. I can't just NOT have a tree! Our main tree is in the family room and in Christmas' past I had it loaded up with glass ornaments and fun berry sprigs. (I tried to find a picture from last year but I only blogged/took pictures about baby stuff then...awesome.) So here is my game plan:</div><div><ul><li>Put up the tree</li><li>Use shatterproof ornaments on most of the tree and all the lower portion</li><li>Use ribbon instead of ornament hangers on the lower portion (maybe all of it)</li><li>For our 'special' ornaments, keep them up high so she can't reach them.</li><li>Either wait until Christmas Eve to put the gifts out or put them under the tree in the front living room. (Addie doesn't really go in there)</li></ul><div>I've also heard of people putting the tree up inside of their pack n play/play yard and this would also prevent little ones from getting into the gifts. Also, if you have a modular baby gate/fence you could put it around the tree for the same effect.</div><div><br /></div><div><b>Breakables</b></div></div><div>We have a few breakable things I like to set out. Usually these are the nativity scenes and a couple snow globes. This will probably be the last year I will use these for a while. But here are some ideas I have for the future:</div><div><br /></div><div><ul><li>Have you seen the <a href="http://www.fisher-price.com/fp.aspx?st=900002&e=storeproduct&pid=46068">Little People nativity</a>? <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(0, 0, 238); -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: underline; "><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQc0PdIMLRGrKVB45MKCbWjE2KVp4yFrlzcEmoUFlgKn5JDUHBnphlQhBqGld8ymsGCcxb3e9FprXVYzMvgh7FtgdkbYx5konaZlo23lxFMeO88jqIkeP2t8oEoxNuv2vHZlEtPese1Q/s320/N6010_d_1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5541305890640369058" style="display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 320px; " /></span>It may not be as beautiful or elegant as the ceramic ones you can find but it is cute and child friendly. This is also a wonderful tool to teach your little ones about the Christmas Story. <a href="http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3150656">Playmobil</a> and <a href="http://www.christianbook.com/plush-nativity-toy/pd/94375Y?event=51500TOYS%7C432805%7C66013">plush options</a> are also available!</li><li>I usually put Christmas stuff all over the house...but I think I will simplify once Addie is walking around. I'll use decorative pillows, plush snowmen, etc. to create a fun and child friendly atmosphere. After all, I don't want to have her remember Christmas as the time she heard 'No, don't touch that' over and over.</li></ul><div><br /></div></div><div>What have you done in the past to baby proof Christmas? What worked and what was a total flop?</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8206447214241537427.post-52353672725144891862010-11-17T16:07:00.008-06:002010-11-17T16:44:30.160-06:00seven months<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjwjuN2k864qGyFHK82pjQV7ufbIOVJN8_C3tHTVMrnx5JsiOOArLez1PBWrYEXVQ9Aiy8ZTWTjTUT2viau4W_tEbez7QX_Jh53IHYdwleZ8tB9rGtqYz7V0VOmesBGFvYRxVowEOBFw/s1600/IMG_1513.JPG"></a><div style="text-align: left;"> Our sweet Addie is seven months!
