Hmmmm.... here's one I thought I needed to share.
How I originally got into htis blogging stuff was through an email request stemming from an old college friend with whom I am FB friends with. She was a roomate for a summer and a fellow RA during my college days. Very insightful even then and continues to be with her blog looking at "green" ways of parenting as well as a little psychology (her profession) leaking in once in a while. You should check her out at mamaaroundthehouse.blogspot.com. She actually was my push to become a "blogger". She had an interesting post this week.
She says that people have more positive experiences and more positive affects if they were to take a few minutes a day to write down a few things they are greatful for.
I love this idea! Here goes.....
#1. For my little family. I love that my husband respects my job of taking care of E and encourages me to have time for myself. I love that they can survive without me (even though I think he needs me).
#2 My beautiful baby! I just love her to pieces and realize that I am truely blessed to have such a happy and healthy little girl.
#3 Coffee. (Do I need to say more? It is the sustanence of my life)
#4 The peace and quiet I have found in this morning so I can have some time to recharge.
#5 My job. Although being a nanny is not very glamorous and is not reguarded as a high profile job, it lets me feel useful in our family by bringing home some bacon and still can be with E to raise and care for her.
#6 Husband. He works so hard for us which lets me work only somtimes. (see #5)
This list was easy to write down because I am thankful for these things and think of them almost everyday. Life is good.

Summer Stay
Its only the beginning of August I keep telling myself.
For some reason I am trying to hold onto the summer but, it seems like it is slipping away. And with it my baby.
Which is kind of ironic seeming how all during the summer I found myself saying "next year E will be more fun" or "when E is a little older" or "It will be easier when she can walk". Hold the clock still please! I take it all back.
Tonight I met my husband after work for a beer and dinner. My husband asked whats on tap?
Shipyard Pumpkinhead Ale. My favorite beer all year. As I thouroughly enjoyed the sweet cinnamonny brew, I was thinking how last year I missed the fall beer season due to being pregnant. I will say I fully hated becoming the science experiment that they refer to as pregnancy. Although my body was not my own for 9 long months, we were waiting to meet our baby. Now it seems that she is growing up so quick. She is too busy wiggling around to spend time on our laps. She won't lay on your chest and fall asleep when you try to burp her after her bedtime bottle. When you do get the chance to hold her it has to be at an angle so that her legs fit to the side. She has opionions (and objects loudly) about things when they are not how she would like it to be.
I miss our snuggly little baby but, love seeing her discover and laugh at new things. Please remember baby.....I love you with all my might don't ever get to big and forget that.
