Finally, the house is quiet. I don't know what's been going on lately but it's been non-stop.

Baby T has been randomly waking up at night and I think he knows my husband isn't home. We've had some pretty severe storms here and there is a lot of people without power. So being the Tree Guy he is - he's on call and basically works nights now. It's a very temporary thing. They finally sent him home this afternoon after they realized he had been working almost 24 hours. He was home for four hours and they called him back in for another all nighter.

Happy anniversary.

So much for our dinner plans. lol. The next two weekends are chock full of bachelorette parties, weddings, birthdays and oh yeah - Father's Day. Maybe the hubby and I shouldn't have gotten married on June 11th. His birthday is the 20th and Father's Day falls right in between. This year we've got my sister's stuff in the mix too.

Anyway, my thoughts are so scattered at the moment because I am EXHAUSTED. I usually write when the little one is asleep but like I said he's been waking up randomly and napping very little during the day. He must miss his "Daaa". I know I do.

On the brighter side, I've been getting ready to send out some manuscripts. It's pretty stressful. I've got to make sure everything has the right postage, contents, and it has to be perfect. Editors are so picky. I don't know if I would want their job though - there is a lot of crap out there.

I just hope my story isn't one of them.

I love writing. And I love doing the business (paperwork) side of things. I have never had to mesh them together before. It's exciting and scary all at the same time. There's hope and there's doubt. I don't want to be sending in junk but let's face it: you can tweak something indefinitely. I don't want to get stuck in a hole.

I think I'm going to take a stab at this sleeping thing now...

What do you do when you have a little one who is ALL about getting his hands on your computer?

Play with this.

And repeat.

Some of you might know I have a nine month old son. He is the perfect first child to have. I'm sure down the road when we decide to have another we'll realize we know nothing about parenting. I'm sure the next one will be a terror... we've had it too easy for too long. But that's not what this post is about.

My son seems to enjoy Heavy Metal. And not just the Godsmack type but the Hard Core, Unearth type. It's funny watching him laugh and bounce around on his wobbly legs. He's hardly been exposed to this type of music and the hubby was mimic-ing that type of music. We got a huge smile and giggle. Not the reaction we expected. so we put it on the radio and waalah: Rocker Baby.

Can I also say the little man is trying to walk? He just mastered crawling a few days ago (we didn't think he'd crawl at all) and he's been standing for months now. He does the usual: holding onto fingers/items while walking... tonight he decides he's going to completely let go and take two steps before he falls into Hubby's arms. Good thing he was there.

Kid is growing up too damn fast. I mean we spend the first couple of months doing everything for him (besides swallowing, dirtying diapers and sleeping) and now one by one tasks are being taken away. "No. I can eat on my own." "No. I can walk on my own." No. I can pick it up on my own." ... and I'm sure that'll continue to grow.

Too damn fast.

I'm told it's the thing to do. 

I'm not even sure if I have six people in my neighborhood....  :)
