This site is acting as my outlet at the moment. A place to talk to someone when I have only a 14 month old to talk to. Mr. Work would usually be in that role but he’s not logged in at work and even if he was, I’d be safer to talk here.

So the Panthers lost. Big Time. It was so pathetic. I just wanted the game to end. I had a small amount of hope at half time. We could get a couple touchdowns. Sure. By the end of the third quarter, I had lost all hope of making it to the SuperBowl this year. Thank goodness Grey’s Anatomy was on last night. My otherwise good weekend would have ended on a sour note. But, Grey’s saved the day. Mr. McDreamy lives. And Georgie. Aww. He’s so sweet and cute. I seriously doubt the writers will ever let Meredith and him be together but he deserves a woman. It’s odd how much I can relate to that show…work related relationships…yeah.

Scott’s schedule is crazy this week. He had to go to Columbia today and went in 5 hours late. Tomorrow he’s off when he would normally work. Wednesday he’s off but I’m going into work. Thursday he would normally be off but he has to go to Myrtle Beach for a Spanish class. And then he still has to work the entire weekend. I’m hoping I don’t go crazy by the end of the weekend.

Did I mention we watched A Lot Like Love on Friday night? It was a cute movie. We don’t watch a lot of movies anymore so I’m not a great critic. They couldn’t seem to understand why I thought Mr. & Mrs. Smith or Fun with Dick and Jane were both really good. Their only explanation is I haven’t seen many movies and I’m desperate and anything seems good.

Is it really bad that it is driving me crazy that Mr. Work is not logged into work yet? I know he’s downtown for meetings but still. He could at least say good morning.

So I’m getting a little concerned that Lexi says nothing very clearly. She’ll be 15 months in about a week. She totally

–The lady on the radio just said, I’m not even going to talk about the Panthers. We all know it was bad.–

understands what we’re trying to say which the dr. said that was most important but I thought she would be saying something clearly. She tries to say a couple things

no (nah-nah)
bye-bye (buh-buh or something)
Daddy (da-da)
Momma (ma-ma)
PawPaw (only when prompted)
MawMaw (only when prompted)
Emma (eh-mah) she’s pretty close on this one
Dora (door)
BackPack (ba-pa)
Dog (daw)
Belle (beh)

And she can do animal sounds for dog, cat, lion and monkey. She’s going to her checkup on the 14th so I guess I’ll just ask then.

Scott and I were thinking of going down to Myrtle Beach on Wednesday night and making an event of it. I was trying to figure out whether to take the kids which would totally be more stress than I would like having to take them in the car 3 1/2 hrs. both ways in two days and then I thought maybe I would have them spend the night somewhere and me and Scott just go but Lexi has never stayed with anyone else. I know she would be fine with someone but her routine with her bed is so engrained that I don’t know if she would actually sleep anywhere else. Even for naps, I have to come home and put her in her crib. No amount of rocking works. She wakes up if we take her driving. I think the only time she has had a full nap anywhere is one time at Mom’s when they wore her slap out until the late afternoon, took her in the car and managed to keep her asleep and put her on their couch. She will not go to sleep anywhere else. Which is a great thing for us that it is so easy to put her to sleep. But it makes it a little more difficult for her to stay anywhere else. And she has even done fine with someone else here to put her to bed. They just put her in her crib as usual and she’s out. I just don’t see any overnight vacations for us anytime soon. In fact, if we took her to Myrtle Beach I’m not really sure how I would get her to bed. I guess there’s good parts to a routine and bad parts.
