still plugging along

as i mentioned in my last post, i figured it would be awhile before i got around to another post. boy was i right! i really shouldn't even be posting now, but i thought i should let everyone know that i'm still alive. there is so much going around here that my head is just spinning! so, for now i leave you with a list of things that have happened/are going to happen/i hope will happen:

: i attended the national stationery show (had a lot of fun and met a lot of new friends as well as old)
: the little dude graduated from pre-school (we're so proud of you!)
: the baby is still sick/teething/who knows what (ugh)
: i got me some braces! (yeah, like on my teeth....and let me tell you, they hurt like hell!!)
: lots of business opportunities that i hope to flush out and make decisions on soon! (weee!)
: i'm finishing up my new releases for shipment to my reps next week (almost there!)
: finished up and shipped out 2 re-orders of previous projects for st. jude (phew!)
: i'm currently working on 7, yes 7 different NEW projects for st. jude (oh my lord!)
: oh, yeah, and we won't have a real nanny again until the middle of june! (fun.)

busy, busy, busy

so it's been over a week since i posted, and it will probably be another before i post anything real. just wanted to say "hey", and that i'm alive. i'm just busy working on the following:

about 15 million projects for st. jude
my june release for my "real" job
taking care of a sick/teething baby
in fact, taking care of both kids because we no longer have a nanny
getting ready to head out to new york on saturday to the national stationery show
clean the house/cook dinner/all those daily requirements

see you in a week or so!

tats

this is how my kid came home from school on friday! i'm not sure if he was supposed to be doing this at school or if he did it while nobody was looking! it reminds me of a sleeve of tattoos! i better lock this kid in his room before he turns 18!

today

my little guy decided he could do this....

8 months

my little boy just turned 8 months old. i know every mother thinks their own kids are the most beautiful things on the face of the planet, but seriously.....how can you argue with this? i just want to eat him up!

minneapolis trip : part 3

my kid LOVES escalators.


we could spend an entire day going up and down escalators with this kid! "let's go again" is the first thing he says when he gets to the bottom. luckily for him, his father is very acommodating!

minneapolis trip : part 2

lego land was one of the most memorable experiences for the little dude during our trip last weekend. we were only there a short time but, man, it's all he could talk about!


the little dude with the gigantic dinosaurs made of legos.


and here are the two lego sets he got while he was there. he was allowed to pick and he picked the big fire truck, and then (no surprise to us) picked a street sweeper! (he is my kid) he actually loves watching the street sweeper come by our house with their big "vacuum" and "spinning brushes".
