And obviously I'm slacking like crazy on this poor blog. I'll post some quick hilights:
~School = going well, I'm pulling As, a B and a high C (math, that will be pulled up post haste. Math is NOT my strong subject)
~Baby = Walking, following commands, adorable as all get out and full on evil toddler all at the same time.
~Big Kid = Doing great in school (except behavior :|) bad attitude, started lying, driving me nuts. But he's a good brother, and again doing great in school. *sigh* the teen years are not going to be fun.
~Life = busy.

I never did a birthday entry for T, ugh.
Too much going on in general, poor kid with the post holiday birthday.
He's 1!!! I can't believe he's 1 already this year went by far too fast. Yup still nursing, yup still cloth diapering. Some days he nurses not too much other days he still nurses quite a bit. We have not started milk of any kind, especially with his iron being low, I'm holding off a few months before I give him milk in a cup. I get the feeling he won't love it anyway, it sure isn't like breast milk. With Xander he was still on bottles so we just switched formula for milk, bfing is a whole nother animal.
He's not walking yet, I'm surprised I thought he'd be walking. He's scared to let go of stuff, and he goes slumpy to the ground if you try to make him stand on his own. He's a chatter box though, even though I don't know any of what he's saying, lol. He's learned how to use several of his toys the proper way. He loves to eat, veggie booty is a big hit. And damn is he cute. He's shy around people, when we go to people's houses he sticks to me like glue unlike the older one who would be like a tiny tornado destroying everything in his path.
And so we start a new year, unbelievable that it's 2009, next year we'll be in double digits. Xander will be 8 this year, wasn't he just like 3??? School starts soon, the next few weeks are going to be crazy. T's party on Sunday, back to school for Xander, getting my books and other crap, school for me, Xander's school play...etc. etc. etc.

We survived Christmas!
Everyone had a really nice holiday!
The only bit of total stupidity was my cousin having her puking child at Christmas Eve, then not leaving once the child puked. My stomach has been a bit uneasy since yesterday which makes me think I have a bit of whatever virus that was. Just ick.
The boys got tons of stuff, and by gosh by golly I actually felt some amount of Christmas spirit!
I also started project 365, not sure if I'm following all the rules but I'm going to attempt a picture a day for a year. We'll see if I give up or not, lol.
FLICKR PICS
Tomorrow night J and I are going to see our friend's band play, then the 28th is T's birthday, followed by NY, then his party on the 4th, then I start school on the 10th, yikes!
The baby has low iron, we're not sure why and it's making me a bit nervous, hopefully when we go to the dr. we'll find that it's better since they'll do a blood test not with a finger prick.

S is for STRESS!
I am feeling it big time today, it's probably pms but yeah I just feel overwhelmed and pissy right now.
I swear I didn't clean one day, just ONE day and it looks like a tornado blew through here.
Unfinished projects that need to be finished before January? Too fucking many.
Christmas, yeah I don't even want to think about it and it's happening in not many weeks. Presents that aren't wrapped that need wrapping? 12. Cards that need making out? Too many to think about.
On the heels of Christmas is Trent's birthday, cleaning this house and setting up everything in the basement for a lot of people, doG help me.
On December 1st I turned 27. I bought Olay Regenerist moisturizer and crocs this week. I am old. And I feel it every single morning when I wake up, I'm hoping it's that we need a new mattress and that I'm not going to be crippled by arthritis in a few years or something.
Oh yes and my 7 year old thinks Santa is bringing him the lego death star. $400 for a lego set?!?!?! I told him Santa doesn't bring age inappropriate toys (it's 12 and up). Santa is bringing him a skateboard, some posters, some crayons and a pokemon card set.
Well this turned into an interesting head dump, I think I'm going to participate in the 365 photo thing, just not sure the start date, probably after Christmas.

Little dude is 10 months today.
That means we're only 2 months away from a year *cry*.
~He's got two teeth and is getting two more (top, he has bottom center)
~At his last dr.s appt he weighed 19lbs which is what Xander weighed at 15 months, but he's still in the 25th percentile, X was in the -5th.
~He's clapping his hands, waving his arms around.
~He's added mama, nana and HEY! (when you take something away) to his vocabulary which was dada and vava (the only word that has meaning he calls the cat that).
~He's cruising furniture like a mad man and starting to let go and stand on his own.
~We are still cloth diapering, we are still nursing.
~other than nursing he also eats everything in sight.
~he's becoming less fearful of strangers, but still didn't do great when my friend watched him Saturday so we could attend a hillbilly hodown wedding.
And that's about all. I'd really like him to stop growing now.

Monday
Why yes and it feels like one too. Started the day with the big kid losing his shoes, couldn't find them anywhere in the 2 minutes we had before we missed the bus. Of course he thought he was instantly going to have to move his clip so it resulted in a crying screaming meltdown. Meanwhile I had to dress the baby in so many layers of clothes to prevent freezing to death I simply didn't have it in me to make up a punishment for after school.
Then we haul butt to the dentist at 3:20, the dentist never has after 4 hours like when he actually gets home from school. But before we left the secretary gave me a nasty attitude about not writing a note. I did write a note in the kid's daily planner which his fucking teacher made a huge deal about at the beginning of the year and now they don't even do anything with any more I guess.
We go to 4 stores the baby is crabby everyone is hungry and so I come home slap together pbj, and some leftover pizza because lord knows I'm not cooking at 6 fucking 30. I go through his folder and the asshole fucking teacher sends home a reprimand over the sign up sheets for conferences. No where on there did it say put your child's name, it was coming out of his fucking folder I didn't think that was necessary. No apology, nada acted like it was all the parents fault. I really dislike him a lot. Cocky 25 yr old recent college graduate that tries to run the classroom like the military.
I swear to god this wasn't supposed to be a huge rant, I'm just cold miserable and crabby. I was going to set up my Halloween cack but it's raining, I don't feel like looking for the pumpkin carving kit either.
