So! It seems that getting this mess of a house in order is a lot more exhausting than I could have comprehended. And it's taking a lot longer than I thought. So I'm going slow. Doing what I can when I can. I'm not pushing myself to get it done quickly anymore. That's an unrealistic expectation of myself. So I've just been trying to get organized about this daunting task. But my mom washed my dishes a few days ago which lightened my load quite a bit and made me feel a lot less stressed out. And I've been going through mail that I've stocked up on since we moved out in JUNE of LAST YEAR. Man, that's ridiculous. And I've been picking up things as I see them instead of just walking by them. I also got a little box for Oliver's living room toys :). Which should help keep the living room picked up quite a bit. What else is new. Oh! We got a new dishwasher today! The owners of this house got on top of it pretty quickly after I talked to the property manager. So now I can start using actual plates instead of paper plates!
The new car is great! I'm so glad things happened the way they did because even though I would have been happy with a Chevy Equinox, this Honda CRV is much more my style.
Cody's still doing well. I haven't heard from him for a couple days, but he's still alive and kickin! He's quitting smoking as well! Hallelujah! I'm so very proud of him for everything he's been doing, but this is the cherry on top. He took the responsibility to do what he needed to do to quit.
Oh! Cupcakes! It was my grandmother-in-law's birthday on Sunday and I made angel food cupcakes with a raspberry buttercream frosting. The WORST idea ever. At least to start them at 1:30 in the morning. I didn't get done until around 4 something. And I had to get up by 10 for church. And oliver's been waking up way early cause of his teeth.
Oliver Update: He's got his top two teeth now! They came in separately, but one one night then the other the very next night. So he's got four teeth now! Not crawling yet. Still somehow scooting around. I'm starting to get him used to sleeping in his cradle as much as it pains me to accept the fact that he's growing up and he'll be one before we know it.
Which is why I must cut this short!
One last bit. I haven't gotten any guesses yet! Maybe you don't really care that much haha. Oh well. I'm excited about it and that's all that matters.
Goodnight!
