"Regular Old Super Mom"
So, I regularly forget to post my conversations with CJ and/or my conversations with Carlos because I totally forget that:
1) I have had any conversation other than those regarding feeding schedules or diapers
2) I still have mommy-brain and I should write things down
3) Maybe the conversations that CJ and I have would not be post-worthy
So imagine my amazement at myself for remembering to write some notes about a conversation between CJ and I. Yeah for me. Now imagine even more amazement for myself when I remember the notes I wrote, got them out of my wallet then sat down to type the post. Yeah for me. Ready? I can read my notes, but don't remember exactly what the conversation was about. So sad for me. So, here goes the text.
CJ: What does that stuff do?
I don't remember what he is talking about but I do say something to the effect of "regular old mom" (that is what I wrote down) THEN he replies..."regular old super mom" (I did weite that down too...of course). I still can't remember what we were talking about or what we were doing. I do remember where we were...no help there. I do remember feeling oh so warm and cozy about his reply. I do love my son. And I do remember thinking I need to write this down so I don't forget. Apparently I need to write more detailed notes.
Hmmm...that explains my college grades a lot more now.

Laptop....Oh My!
Here I am typing on my new-to-me laptop, watching TV, watching my oldest play with my youngest, hanging out on a Friday night. I love it! It may not mean anything to all of you, but it means more freedom for me. Yeah! Has anyone typed and nursed at the same time? Just kidding. Really, I am kidding. Maybe.

The Mighty Hunter
...has returned with no 4-legged animal strapped to the hood and I am thankful. He is not too happy, but I am glad, thrilled and relieved he is home safe and sound. So, that is the reason for my week-of-not-blogging...too damn busy as a single mom! Thanks to my family that helped out! We could not have done it with out you and I really do appreciate your support. I love living in my home town with my family so near by! Love ya!

Hi-Ho, Hi-Ho...
...it is off to work I go (went). That is why the blogging has really slowed down...well, stopped. Sarri beat me to the blog I was going to write. Teresea wrote what I wanted to say about the outcome of the election. So...until I have a working computer, time that I am not nursing, laundry, report cards, planning, sleeping, cooking, driving, and btw how many of you know who that guy sleeping/snoring next to you is every night? When do I get to hang out with him again? ...well, you get the picture I will blog again. I will get into a routine. Right?

The Day
8.25.08
Today is the day 11.03.08...I return to work. Not as bad as I once thought. Time does do wonders. I could not have returned one day earlier. I love staying home, watching him, holding him and doing all the home stuff, making our house a home. Do I miss my career? Not sure, give me a few more days, maybe weeks "in the field" and let my mommy brain merge with my work brain. I am staying positive. I can do this (lots of people do it very successfully) and I will be able to function normally. Whatever that means. So, without further delay, I am off to work. Baby fed, clothes on, makeup and hair done, lunch packed, coffee drank and baby staying home with Dad. Well, that doesn't seem that bad. Thanks blog therapy!

Baile Tampico
The 3rd graders at Columbus celebrate Hispanic Awareness month by learning dances and singing songs in English and Spanish. CJ has been practicing all month and was very, very nervous about performing in front of the entire school.
CJ: Mama, I am going to have stagefright.
Me: You will be fine, just remember to breathe.
CJ: OK.
Fast forward to the day of the dance and I saw CJ out there taking small breaths and really concentrating on not having stagefright. He did a fabulous job and we are so proud!!!!
