Things and Stuff

So sorry I depressed everyone the other day. I still haven't seen the sun in over two weeks now. I'm really about to go postal. We were supposed to have seen sun several times now, but I really don't think the weathermen ever know what they're talking about. I'm amazed it's a real profession when their success rate is so minimal. Anyway, a storm was supposed to blow through yesterday to get rid of the smog(because let's face it people, they can call it what they want, but it's really smog). So instead we got a teeny sprinkling of rain/snow mixture last night that resulted in absoluetly nothing today. B said we can go for a drive tomorrow to get out of the valley. They've had huge amounts of people up at the ski hill because it's about all this yucky crud.



So my teeny baby will be 1 on Sunday. I'm so sad. Where did this year go? It went by really really fast. I think it's gone by faster with each one. He's doing everything he can to stay the baby, though. He still won't sleep thru the night, he hates food with texture, he just barely started to put any weight on his legs, and he still won't hold his bottle unless he's lying flat on his back. Personally, I think he's just being lazy, and we're allowing it since he is the baby. Well, I guess he's starting to eat a little texture-he'll eat bread, french fries, and chicken if I break it up into teeny pieces. He just won't eat the stage 3 baby food that has pieces of pasta or veggies in it. I probably wouldn't eat it either. So I'll just have to keep pushing people food on him. Any sleeping thru the night suggestions? JP was my best sleeper. Both he and Peanut could just be layed down in their crib and they'd go right to sleep, but our bookends(oldest and youngest) have insisted on being held to go to sleep, so that makes for not very good crib sleepers. I've tried the whole "ferberizing" thing, but he'll just keep crying-no screaming-for an hour. And it's a really ear piercing scream that we've never experienced before. I wonder what happened to my sweet baby who sounded like a little piglet squealing when he cried. We're just having a few friends over for cake after our new lovely 2:30 p.m. church time on Sun. I didn't really want to do anything, but felt bad since we did for everyone else. I don't want him to feel jipped when he gets older.

I just want to thank all of my wonderful friends and family for their support after my last post. I guess I kind of went off the deep end a little, but with this weather I get even more agitated than usual. As my visiting teacher said, it really has become a Nordstrom ward. I shouldn't dread attending church each week. There are a lot of nice people too, but the majority makes me feel uncomfortable there. Sometimes I wish we could start over somewhere else. That's all I'll say about that anymore since my husband keeps reminding me anytime I say anything negative about anyone, this is public domain and something I say might come back to bite me in the bum. But this is really my outlet to get things off my chest, so I figure whatever. If I offend someone it's not because I'm doing it on purpose, it's just the way I feel.

So Peanut peed his pants 5 times on Wed. Since then I've been asking him every 10 minutes if he has to go. Anyone else had regression problems? It really stinks because by the time we had to go to scouts that day, he was wearing pajama pants because he'd gone thru the rest. Not a fun day.
