can't wait for Adam Slide to get home today from his business trip. I've missed him so much this week!

just showed Tobey a picture of Pope JP II, and he cried. I guess that means I don't have a future pope.

It's quite a challenge to vote while holding an 8 month old.

I don't want to move off the couch b/c Penny has been snuggling with me for the past 2 hours. She hasn't done this since Tobey was born. She was my original snuggle bunny!

Tobey has his first diaper rash...any suggestions?

Day Light Savings doesn't mean you get an extra hour of sleep when you have a baby. It just means that you have to start getting up an hour earlier. Boo hoo.

Every time I let the dogs outside, Tobey cries until we go outside too. This kid is all boy.

Happy Anniversary to my husband of four years, Adam Slide! I love you!

Ug! I feel like I am back in the 4th trimester where nothing would stop the crying.

Surely my child is bipolar. Cried and screamed all morning and is now laughing hystarically. I'm not sure that I will ever begin to understand him.

Well Tobes and I have had a long day. Ultimately, I think teething was to blame. But isn't teething always to blame? I sure do love that little guy even on days like these! <3 <3 <3 <3 I'm so blessed to be his mommy.

Tobey and another baby were waving to each other during church this morning. Melted my heart!!

Whoa! A guy's jeep from down the street just rolled out of his driveway, across the cul-de-sac, down a retaining wall, and is stuck in our yard inches from our house. Pictures coming soon. "Man, I love this street!"

The jeep is gone!!

dog sitting. 3 dogs=chaos

Is it time for Adam to come home from work yet? If I ever decide to rescue another dog, someone slap me over the head.

Today has been much better with three dogs; no fights, no indoor pee, no torn up flooring, and no one getting into a dirty diaper. Life with 3 dogs is managable.

I love my mobile baby!! He is so much more happier now that he can go wherever he wants. He even stayed up for 5 hours straight without having a major meltdown.

I was shopping and when I got back to my car, it was dead. Luckily, Adam had met me there to take care of Tobey while I shopped. So Adam went home, got the other car seat to put in his car, I took Adam back to work, and now my car is still at Publix. I think its just the battery, but Adam thinks it could be something more since I just got a new battery. Sigh. I think it will be fine. Just an inconvenience.

Got all dressed and ready to go to Mass this morning...we were even going to be early! But my car's battery was dead again. Something must be on in my car the keeps killing the battery. :(
