Goodness! I’m finally sitting down to update my blog! I thought I would surely have time for that this weekend, but I was wrong. LittleMan got his shots and was pretty cranky. He went to a birthday party Saturday afternoon and then we went out to eat with my Nana and Uncle Mark (aka Uncle Kracker…long story there!) for a little Chinese…yummmm! Saturday night and yesterday he had a little bit of fever from the shots and was a little fussy, but not too bad. We went shopping and grilled hot dogs last night and he seemed to be feeling better.
Hopefully, I’ve gotten control of the craziness here at work and will have a little more time to get things done this week. Friday, I didn’t even get to go to lunch! I spent my “lunch” buying something for the office that I needed for that afternoon! I should demand an extra-long lunch today in return. LOL!
I finished The Undomestic Goddess this weekend. The cranky kid didn’t leave me much to do Saturday night but hold him while he whined, so I held him and read. The book was pretty good, but I like the Shopaholic books better. But, overall, not a bad book! I bought In Her Shoes yesterday while I was out shopping, so I will start on that one soon.
Hope you all have a great Monday!

Melissa-Mom to LittleMan (4/04); wife to LuckyHusband; full-time toxicologist; full-time housekeeper; full-time domestic laundromat manager (washes all the clothes); full-time domestic finance manager (pays all the bills and yells at husband for spending too much money on fishing stuff); and Keeper of the Cheerios. Lives in a tiny town; spends tons of time with family; reads; enjoys crafts. Can change a diaper, fill a sippy cup, and put on a toddler's shoes in 15.4 seconds flat, all while calculating the impact of petroleum hydrocarbons to a nearby surface water body (watch for me in the Toddler Olympics on CBS this fall). Addicted to Dr. Pepper; Kit Kats; and pasta. To spot me in a crowd: I'm the one with frizzy messed-up hair, smeared graham crackers on my shirt; huge purse with a diaper peeking out, toddler on her hip, and camera in hand at all times.
