1. Birthdays:

I was wishing people on Fbook Happy Birthday this morning and it occurs to me that I turn 30 in a few short months. With the whole new baby thing, it has fallen to the back burner a bit.

I'm thinking that a party is probably in order at the house, since A. 30 is pretty big and B. we haven't had a "house warming party" as it were. Even though we have been here for two years.

I will consider it and see what I feel like doing. I suppose that it depends on how Ryan is going with sleeping and stuff. He'll be 5 1/2 months by then, so HOPEFULLY, he'll be a better sleeper than he is now.

2. Sleeping babies:

We've kind of gone backwards a bit with the whole sleep thing this week. He was going to sleep around 8 - 8:30 and sleeping until 4 generally. The past week, it's been a struggle to get him to sleep or stay sleeping -- like he'll fall asleep around 7:30, because he's so tired, but then he's up by 8:30 again, because he's hungry. Then, bottle and back to sleep. Then, back up at 2am for more food. Then, up before 6am, mostly because his diaper is soaked and that is uncomfortable. BLAH!!!

So, I'm tired, because I'm the one who gets up with him.

I've come to the conclusion that this was probably the worst possible timing to have a baby -- Jake has to work so hard in the summer and it was really difficult with Ryan being a newborn in the same time frame. By the time that Ryan is sleeping through the night and napping well, Jake won't be busy darn busy and tired all the time. Oh well. I've kind of started to plan the next one in my head and I'm thinking that Jan - Mar 2011 would be good.

3. F-ing Credit cards:

We'll probably try for the next one just as soon as we get rid of the stupid CC debt. Frickin' credit cards. And we haven't even been billed for Ryan's hospital bills yet. Which is another $1000.00 that we haven't got on our cards yet. I'm not even going to bother telling Jake, because it stresses me out and I don't want to talk about it. Oh well. We'll try our best to survive. A lottery win would be nice too though. :)

4. F-ing cats:

For some reason, the cat (little) jumped right on my face this morning. Causing me scratches and pain and yelling at 12:30am something along the lines of "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING?!?!". It hurt!! I have 5 little points from claws and a scratch right on the side of my nose. She didn't come back up to lay with us the rest of the night. I think I scared the crap out of her. I have no idea what the hell was going on. I wonder if she was running around in the dark and just flew up onto the bed and right onto my face. It sucked any way you look at it.

5. Getting rid of the shit in my house:

I really, really, really want to have a garage sale at the end of August to try and get rid of a bunch of our stuff (like sell it). Whatever is still here at the end goes to Goodwill. If we could get a car payment out of it or something, that would be sweet. Plus, there are SO many things that I can think of that I would like to get rid of. It would make me happier. Jake too, prolly. I started going through books upstairs in the bedroom. I want to put stuff somewhere when I decide that it will be apart of this garage sale, but where, I don't know. Maybe the Corolla will sit in the driveway for a couple of weeks and I'll borrow the tables from my parents and just put boxes on them, in the garage. I'll have to be careful, because I don't want stuff to start living in there. A couch from downstairs is also going -- the brown peacock one that I brought with us from college that Mariel left me. If we could make $200 - $300, that would be perfect for me. More is better. Less is okay, but I'm kind of hoping to get a car payment out of this. Or water bill payments to the city.

Well, I suppose that I should think about taking a shower and getting ready for the day. Jake will be up soon and he usually gets ready and runs away. I think that I'm going to attempt to go to the bank and close our savings account and open a new goal savings for Ryan and another just to have. He's sleeping right now. If he wakes up around 8 am, I will probably try to run up there around 9am, because then he'll be awake, but will have eaten. It's all about timing.
