Should this really be called "Noah's Blog?"

So Noah decided that it would be fun to get into our DVDs. They aren't really out of his reach so I guess that is our fault. Anyways, he was entertained and wasn't getting hurt so I just let him play. Honestly at that moment if he wasn't crying or being clingy I am happy that he is being happy. It was really funny that he thought it was so fun. He sat there for a good 45 minutes playing with all of the DVD cases. Hopefully this isn't a regular occurance or we have to put our DVDs in our bedroom.

I love Noah.

Today was a fun day for Aaron and myself. We went to the spa and had a couple's massage, then we went and did some shopping (I didn't get anything but Aaron got a new driver for golfing). Then we went to lunch and got some ice cream for dessert. It was so nice to be together without Noah, but I have to admit that I missed him. We got home around 4pm and then had to rush and pick up the BMW cuz it was done being fixed ($500 dollars later! happy anniversary to me!). Now we have to do some repairs to the Toyota but we have a friend who works on cars so he will do stuff for us and give us a good deal. Also I am switching out my tires. I don't know who had the car before we got it but they made it like a sports car and put sport tires on it. It sucks to drive in bad weather and I can't handle it well. Aaron can take the sport tires if he wants to.

Anyways, that is our life. :)

When I have had a bad day, I look at Noah and he just melts my heart! :)

He's grown soo sooo sooo much. He is learning and maturing so much more then ever. Everyone asks what his first word was ... and even though he has no idea what he said, it was daa daa (dad). I don't really tell anyone that he has said his first word because I want to know he understands that daa daa is dad.

Our car (BMW) is leaking raditor fluid. It was just a little leak but now it's MASSIVE! I came home and there was a spot that was almost 2 feet long! So, now we have to shell out probably 700 dollars to get that fixed! :(

Aaron and I's anniversary was yeterday (17th) and we did NOTHING! I got home and I wasn't feeling well at all! I cleaned the kitchen and then layed down for a long time. I had a bad headache. Aaron came home and made dinner (fettachi alfredo, bread and salad). We watched Juno which was a good movie. It was touching. We are celebrating our actual anniversary Saturday, 19th. We are getting a couple's massage, and then going out to lunch. Maybe getting a couple of gifts for each other.

More anthor day ...

My life ...

So this is how I spend my days:

Mon - Thurs
I get up take care of Noah at 3am because for some odd reason he likes to wake up and stay up. :(
I go and nanny 2 obnoxious kids (they aren't THAT bad, they are just kids, and not my kids so it's hard) between 7:30 and 8:30 to about 4:30 or 5:00
I drop Noah off with Aaron and then go and work 5:30 - 9:30 at NBO.
Come home and pick up everything that Aaron doesn't clean up from Noah (can we say LAZY)
Get ready for bed

Friday
Again, get up and take care of Noah super early
Nanny
Then you'd think, oh she has a day off from NBO she can rest but that's not the case
I come and clean because I am a maid in my house obviously
Then I make dinner, do dishes, feed Noah, give Noah a bath, get him ready for bed, then I finally eat dinner Then maybe just maybe I can watch a show I want to watch (it's not likely if Aaron's home) and not Yo Gabba Gabba, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse or something else that is a "toon"

Saturday
I again get up early with Noah
I go to work at NBO from 8 - 5 (unless I get off early cuz I have nadda to do)
I come home and clean the house more because if I don't do it we'd live in a dump.
Then I get Noah ready for bed again


Sunday
Day of rest? Yeah I wish. Aaron and I switch Sundays to sleep in, but really it is when he is tired of watching Noah and he brings Noah and and puts him on top of me in the bed.

Can you see I am bitter? I am just venting but I wish I wasn't treated like a maid. I got super depressed before because I was feeling like I couldn't control anything and nothing was perfect. I wish someone could just understand my feelings sometimes ... :(

so sleepy

Today has been a busy day for us (mostly Noah). It was conference weekend and I feel so good about it because it was basically the first weekend I have been able to sit and watch all of conference. Noah is so much more independent now. He will crawl into his room and play for hours. It's nice for us because we can sit and relax and not have to always occupy him. I, of course, go in and check on him often because it gets quite after a while and I wonder what's he's up to, but he's just sitting or standing and playing with his toys. I wonder what he thinks when he is playing. :) Today (Sunday) the only nap Noah took was at 6:45am - 8:15am. He has been up ever since then. I tried to give him a nap after we went to Aaron's parent's house for a birthday celebration but he was not wanting to. Aaron had to go to Walmart and exchange this printer because we needed a new one so we could print out something for our taxes that we need to send it (I think it's stupid that you file electronically but then you still have to print something out for the state and sign it and send it in. What's the point of doing something electronically then?) so Noah and I sat on the couch and watched Yo Gabba Gabba. Then I got kinda tired so we layed on the couch and somewhere in the middle of that we fell asleep. It's been a good day, a tiring day and a relaxing day. I love my family.
