Great.

Just what I needed. I'm wondering if super-glue can fix this mess. Ironically, we switched back to these basic dummies to SAVE money. HA!

And this is what it's supposed to look like. Oy Vey.

In other thoughts, can I whine for just a second? I hate summer. As a kid, I used to love it- it meant a break from school, even after high school- I never went to summerschool while in college. I LOVED the time off. The CHANGE OF PACE. Now, not so much. No change of pace, same ol' crap, day in day out (minus the weekend). And hardly any access to a pool to beat this awful heat and humidity! (And BTW I'm far from the hottest spots in the country! I can't stand it here in the summer- I'd never make it in Southern AZ or Southern CA...) OK, whine over.

Jessy... Sittypants?

Oh. Geez. It's been howwwww long since I've blogged? Yeesh. Too long. I am terribly sorry for my absenteeism here. I know, there's getting to be a pattern... I blog alot then just fall off the face of the earth. But such is the life of a working mom. Ew.  I've thought of firing myself from the realm of blogging, but I don't think that would be a wise idea. I just enjoy this blogging thing too much! Even if I don't have some readers left after all this time, I cooooouuuuuld pick up a few more, right? Riiiiiight? *crickets chirping*

Since K and I are trying to save some major $$ and pay some bills off so I can enter the realm of stay-at-home-momhood, I am trying to figure out some cool, healthy and yummy budget meals. Fortunately, things diet-wise are pretty easygoing for us- no allergies or anything like that, but I still like to use the "sinful stuff" (read: alcohol, fats, sugars, pretty much all the stuff we love to love) in moderation. We try to keep sodium low so I'm less likely to turn into the Goodyear Blimp during, ahem, *that* time of the month. I am definitely going to try to post more recipe ideas here... stay tuned! ;)

Now, for the topic that's not for dinner, or dinner. Jessy! And you thought I would actually write a post that didn't mention our own Crown Jewel, Her Royal Snowiness. She is now 24 weeks old- 5.5 months old. She has her next checkup with the doc in a little under 2 weeks. Jessy can sit pretty darn good with support, as evidenced by the pics below. Enjoy!

 She's growing up so fast!

 Nom, nom nom!

Oh yeah, did I mention she's already trying to crawl?

No words needed.

Mommy Brainless

I figured I'd clue you guys in before I forget (rim shot). I officially have momnesia.

Tonight I went over to Babies R Us and Target for some light shopping. Loaded up the car from BRU and headed off to Target. Got there, cut the engine in the car, took off my seatbelt. Reached for my purse... quickly pulled my seatbelt back on, re-cranked the engine (poor car!) and shot back over to BRU so fast... sure enough my purse was still in the shopping cart. Oy Vey. Thankfully everything was still in it, probably b/c I went at night, and there was definitely an angel watching over it!

I've been forgetting half the stuff I'm told at work. Not good, since it pertains to doing my job. It is also very frustrating since I've done the job before, but look to my boss like a complete buffoon who hasn't even seen it and can't learn how to use a toothbrush let alone discount contracts. *crickets chirping*

Oy. I just need a good night of... something. Um, I think they call it ssss.... sleep?
