Ready For Christmas

The past couple of weeks have been pretty bland. I had a stomach virus one weekend, then a cold the next weekend during a trip to Savannah and then yet another cold this past weekend. I don't know how someone catches a cold two weekends in a row, but I managed to do that. I'm hoping that I have met the quota for sicknesses for the year and I am pretty confident that my scabby nose and lips(from all of the nose blowing with cheap tissue) will heal by Christmas, so that I don't look diseased in the pictures that will be taken.

JR's mom(Granna) and I took Coy to see Santa Saturday. I could tell that he didn't really like Santa, but he didn't cry. Today, his Granna and Aunt Shannon took him and his cousin K.J. to see Santa together and he openly expressed his true feelings about Santa. We have a snapshot of the meltdown.

So, me, JR and Coy leave Christmas day on the loooooooong trip to Florida, and I can't wait to be there and see everybody.

Men Shouldn't.....

Men really shouldn't dye their hair. I'm not referring to your typical young guy with highlights. That's acceptable. What I am referring to is your out of shape, mid forties and beyond men that decide that their once dark brown, now turning grey hair should suddenly turn an unusual shade of red. The reason that it becomes an unusual shade of red is because the dye product for brown hair can't look natural..it always comes out "reddish". So, instead of looking younger, it just makes the person look creepy and crazy.

Go with the grey. Look older and wiser...women like that better. Otherwise, go ahead and buy a huge kidnapper van, you have nothing to lose.

Weekend Update

I started back to work last Monday. Everything was great. Everyone was so nice to me and glad that I was back. I'm probably getting set up for something.

Thanksgiving was a time of good food and hanging out with family. A nice break from work and getting to hang out with Coy. Coy giggled for the first time and we got it on video...made our year.

Anyway, this weekend pretty much sucked. I was the lucky recipient of a stomach virus which arrived early Saturday morning. To make matters worse, I was home alone all day taking care of an infant when I could barely get myself out of the bed. It was a true test of something. Anyway, I think I called my mother in law's phone 100 times out of desperation; but bless her heart, she was working all day as a nurse on emergencies at the hospital. Thankfully, she got off work at 5pm and came to rescue me. I would love to just forget that Saturday ever existed.

Today was a great day of recovery and I will be off to work again in the morning.

Tis The Season

I love this time of the year!! Thanksgiving is next week and I am going to make a sweet potato pie. I made it a week ago to "test" the recipe....I can't bring something to share that I haven't ever made...that could be disastrous. It is a pretty tasty recipe.

Also, I am planning to start decorating my house today for Christmas. I hate decorating, but I love the finished product. I wish someone would just come do it for me.

Four More Days

I have four days until I go back to work. I am looking forward to being around adults all day and wearing new clothes that aren't maternity bags.

I am going to miss little Coy!

First Day at Daycare

I took Coy to daycare today. It wasn't as bad as I had anticipated that it would be. I dropped him off at 10am, because, like his mom and dad...he likes to sleep in.

Tomorrow, I am going to get up early and get dressed and pretend like it is a real work day, so he will have to get up early...poor baby.

Anyway, now it is time for an emotional moment. In the spirit of Thanksgiving....

I am so thankful to have my wonderful sweet husband and my perfect little boy. I have wanted to have a baby for several years, but was waiting for my husband to want that too. Also, I always knew that if we had a boy that his name would be Coy Blair...so deep down inside I always knew that I would have a little boy. Everything surrounding this baby has been so perfect, with the exception of a miserable pregnancy(but complication free). We were able to get pregnant as soon as we decided that we wanted to. We have a healthy, beautiful and happy baby. I am so blessed and I am so very thankful for the wonderful life that I have been given!
