I need to be random

* I'm currently not working. I was. Now, I'm not. Long story and I won't really go into the details, but I am looking for something else, just taking my time. However, I have LOVED being home (as I knew I would) and I don't want to go back. Anyone know of something where I can work from home? No, really if anyone knows of any ides PLEASE let me know.

* I love having mom friends where I can talk about being a mom, sharing stories, getting advice, discussing how we ever got to this point (especially with those that I knew before parenthood), laughing about what kids do and basically just understanding one another. On the flip side, I love having my non mom/parent friends where I can go out and not talk about being a mom and use them to re-live my non parenting days. I am so lucky to have so many friends on both sides. I can't even say I enjoy one more than the other because both keep me sane.

* I've had kind of a rough week. As much as I talk about the fact I love being home, it's f*ing hard. Every time I get frustrated or I really think I can not do this anymore I remember that this is what I wanted and it really helps me get through those moments. I have such a good baby and I'm so glad that I can spend my days with him. BUT it's f*ing hard. I go to bed at 8 because i'm tired.

* Harrison is really starting to think Walter is the funniest thing around. He is more fascinated with that dog than anything else in the house. I love this and I really can't wait until Harrison is dropping food and Walter takes on the same admiration for him.

* I really wish I could start adjusting to this new body of mine. I try every day to embrace it, but I still get frustrated.  Then, I think why put the effort into getting back into shape if I plan on having more kids?!  I just wish the rest of my clothes fit so I didn't a. have to keep wearing the same things b. buying new things.

* Harrison is not a fan of carrots

* I have bruises all over my body. IF I had to guess I would say it's from toting that dang car seat around town and since I'm not that strong that dang car seat is constantly slamming against my body. Is this normal?

* I smell 95% of the time. Mostly it's breastmilk spit up that I smell like but some of the other time I don't even know.. poop?  I use to be disgusted with the smell(s) but now I kind of just go with it. Yes, I shower but usually if I shower that means I'm a clean target when I get out and my sweet sweet child will make sure some bodily fluid is on me. I'm really just not phased by it anymore and I am almost to the point where I can go out and not care what I smell like.

* We have 0 minutes left this month on our cell phones.Basically, I can only talk to people that have Verizon at this point. This has not happened in awhile. I'm not sure who we I talk to so darn much. I am wondering if I call Verizon and ask them nicely to take off our overage charges if they would do it?  I might try saying something like "hey Verizon, I've been with you since like 2002 when no one even knew who you were and I would really hate for you to lose a customer because of these small 5 minutes". Surely that will work, right? Hopefully the person I speak to speaks English.

* Every time I think my life will settle down I realize that all of our weekends in one month are booked... through October. And then the holidays will start and so really I shouldn't plan on having a free weekend until January. Awesome! I really do love our busy life, but we really need to do yard work. No, I can not do it during the day when I'm home and doing nothing else.

* One more thing on being home, I don't watch tv. My friend asked me one time what I do all day. I honestly have no idea, but I always feel like I'm busy. I mean I do sometimes watch someone for an hour grab their toes and try to chew on them. Productive!

* I really appreciate my husband.
