Day 18

I TOTALLY forgot to post before 12. Oh well. At least I remembered to post at all. So here it goes.

I had a pretty calm day externally, but internally, my mind's been going three thousand miles a minute thinking about everything that I'd like to do and need to do this holiday season. Like plan my trip to Wisconsin for Christmas, what and when I'm going to bake for Thanksgiving, the immense amount of laundry I need to do still, the dishes I need to put away, the dishes I need to wash, the Pumpkin Gingerbread and Applesauce Spice Cupcakes with Brown Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting I need to get the ingredients for and have baked and ready to go by 9:45 in the morning, the immense amount of grocery shopping I need to do since I haven't gone in a long while, the organizing I need to do, the laundry I need to put away, the cable box that's basically no more, the DVR on Saturday that I'm getting to replace the aforementioned cable box, the meals I'm planning on making for Cody since all he's had is crap at Camp Roberts, the dog we're thinking about getting, the Christmas tree we still need to pick out, the fact that the only time my brain actually slows down is when I'm sleeping, the bills, and what to get everyone for Christmas. All at the same time. Can you blame me for waking up thinking it was Friday this morning and almost crying? Oh man I'd like a break. Or a massage. My hip hurts anyway, so a massage would be nice. Oh my goodness, I'm getting tired. I guess I should wrap up this semi-rant. Well I got to talk to Cody tonight. And he didn't fall asleep on me! Woo! He had a nice surprise for me. He's coming home on Thanksgiving leave a day earlier than he thought. YAY! Good things are happening and I'm happy about it.

Oliver Update: He's starting to not look so much like a newborn and more like an older baby. I love him so very much. I don't want him to get bigger and older, but I know that's life. And he'll be just as cute, sweet, and loving when he gets a little older. We'll see when he's a teenager lol!
