back at it

So after a very difficult first week back to work after vacation I think i am coming back to grips with reality. Right before we left for break my printer broke. Then mom and I worked the 20th and some on Christmas eve to try to catch up from how we have gotten behind with new baby at the shop. Well, my first day back to work my harddrive crashes. Needless to say I almost had a heart attack. This is only one of my worst fears at work. Brock was NOT a happy camper to be out of the limelight and having his mommy focus on other things besides him. He wouldn't let anyone else even hold him. So after leaving at 8:30 monday and crying all the way home (with both kids crying from no naps) and doing the exact same thing Tuesday.....I was way past my rope's end. I was seriously fixing to turn crazy. I started telling myself all those things that first time mom's tell themselves and that I did with Arden --"it's never going to get better""I can't do anything well" and other such things that equal to me feeling really sorry for myself. But thanks to lots of prayers and encouragement and a little pep talk from my mom I am back to normal. I have even started running this week. I promised myelf I would when Brock hit 4 months so i am a week or so early. I have got to keep this guy away.


Anyway, Brock is doing good. He doesn't really like cereal. Kinda disappointing since his sister was such a fan. He is still just a rotten boob boy. He is sleeping in his pack and play really well. He doesn't like to be rocked to sleep but will go asleep nursing and then I stick him in bed. He also doesn't like to lay down beside mom anymore. I think he is really getting on a better schedule. Seems like it is starting to regulate. HOORAY. He can wear his 6 months clothes now,even though they are a little big. He is getting sweeeter but still has a temper.
As for his sister--wow-that is another story. She is obsessed with toilet words. Not that we care but it does get old and is not okay for school. I can't count the number of spankings lately. One of my favorite new Arden sayings is "those are MY rules". It is not good but it makes me want to laugh everytime. She also came in and said to Matt "Daddy are you bored? he said "no" and she said "but your married". Don't think she meant it the way it sounded but it was hilarious. She does tell me that she poots at school adn I just don't know if I have the farting kid or if she is lying (she is like her daddy about that). She told me the other day that she farted in her class and that everyone laughed and she laughed. What do you do with that? I am just glad she is not embarrassed. That could scar her for life. ha.
Well, I will try to be better with posting now that I am out of colic world
