I broke down and bought a “camcorder” yesterday. I am always thinking about doing it, especially since Hubby is gone so much. I thought it’d be nice for him to actually get to see video of things that go on around here while he’s gone. Right?
So I’ve been recording everything. EVERYTHING. Wuzzle eating a Banana. (Which she now says “Bannna”!) Wuzzle watching “Dora”. Me folding laundry. Wuzzle throwing the laundry I just folded. Even a small bit of bath time. (I just need to learn to hold it more steady …

I am a social Pariah.
At least I feel that way sometimes.
The other day at my MOPS meeting, we had “Tea and Testimony” (sitting around a table, and everyone shares something about their lives.) I sat, listening to all the stories. Commenting where appropriate. Laughing. Crying. Just like everyone else in the room.
It came to be my turn. The first thing I said? “My husband is gone six weeks at a time, then home for six days.” (My topic was “Husbands”) Then it came. I knew it would. It always does. …

We have had a long few days around here, the flu seems to have struck our little corner of the world. Wuzzle has recovered better than I have. (Although, to be fair? She got sick 2 days before I did.)
It’s times like this that life without my husband sucks. I’m on day #2 of not wanting to move from the couch. Day #5 of doing 2 loads of laundry a day, just to make sure my toddler has a clean place to sleep at night, and clean jammies.

The other day, …

In the last 5 days I have done a minimum of 2 loads of laundry a day.

I have thrown Wuzzle in the tub at least twice a day for the last three days.
We went through an entire bag of diapers in two days.
And my poor cuddly little one isn’t feeling any better yet.

My sweet little girl used to be a ham for the camera.

She used to love to cuddle too.

But lately? Lately she loves to wag her finger and tell me “No!” and then yell it progressively louder.
And looking at the camera? Forget it! She has the prettiest blue eyes, but you’ll never get to see them. Not from my camera anyway.

In fact? I’m lucky if I can keep up with her enough to get a shot of her running away  most days anymore!

Since it’s finally Spring Time, Best Friend decided yesterday that he wanted to take his boys to the zoo and invited Wuzzle and I along! We jumped at the chance, because we love the zoo!
Wuzzle loved the idea of feeding the giraffes. That is, until she felt it’s tongue. Then? The following face ensued!

Of course, her absolute favorite part? The carousel! She loved it so much she started to cry as it slowed down. LOL!

And of course, just spending time with the boys, was great for her.

One of the benefits of my husband driving a truck and being gone for so many weeks at a time?
I get to have another husband! And, my first husband doesn’t mind a bit. I had to laugh when a friend first referred to my best friend that way. But the more I think about it? The more I agree.
This week alone, he drove 75 miles to tow my car. He also hung a ceiling fan for me. Helped move our motorcycle so I could park a car in the garage. …

I am back from a MUCH needed break in blogging.
I never intended to leave my blog, that wasn’t the plan. But it happened. I’ve been spending my days doing the same thing I was before, playing with Wuzzle and working towards nursing school. (More of the former, less of the later.)
But I’ve realized I’ve been neglecting my poor blog for far too long. And my kid has too many fun stories that I’m not sharing.

Here’s hoping that your Holidays have been well!!
We have had a VERY busy, yet very wonderful Holiday. So busy that my computer has been shut off for almost a week. (Seriously, not even turned on. I checked facebook from my phone. Uploaded to Flickr from my father in laws laptop on Christmas.)
Between having our teeny tiny house (800 sq ft) filled with Hubby’s family for Christmas, and then starting to replace and repair everything stolen or broken during the break in it’s been crazy. Then we try to fit in …
