mmmm..chocolate.

I was anxiously awaiting the sale after V-day for GODIVA chocolates. I got a box of 36 at Barnes N Noble for 50 percent off. Its yummy. Landen has been opening and closing the box, for fun, but last night he took a nibble of one (yes I let him, it was to cute) and he said mmmmm, yummy. Love it. I prefer the truffles though.
And, yes I o'd finally. I am 4 dpo. But not getting high hopes, really, I'm not. I've already had some signs that could be PMS. And no Jess, I am not sick of baby dancing, I actually think its brought us closer. Sex equals happy hubby, happy hubby equals happy wife.
I'm really tired the past few days, I think I might be getting sick again. No thanks. Maybe I should have some chocolate. It's full of antioxidants.
Today we went out in service, our bible teaching work. It was nice. Landen does really great, and loves walking, even the whole street! He loves to ring the door bell,and knock on the doors. LOL We have also been enjoying the company. I am glad I have found some support during the week.
Did you notice that Landen is my life. I have a hard time thinking of anything else to write about on here. HAHAHA I do love being a mom.
So we have a busy month of March, with the Circuit assembly, then the c.o's visit, and the memorial and then a week in north carolina. BUSY BUSY BUSY. :D
Which I really love. :D
We are also planning a trip to disney world in April. I am still debating whether this is a smart move as we aren't really floating in money, and we could use all of it (tax return) to pay off bills. As it is, with this trip, we will still have some to pay towards bills, but is it smart? Matt is for it. We are planning to go with friends, but not go with them. Same resort, do disney, but not spend every day with them. We might watch their kids, and then they might watch Landen, so we can each get a date night. I trust them, they are great, Landen loves their 8 year old, but he hasn't been with a sitter yet. Nervous....
Anyway, its sounds like a fun trip, if we decide to do it.
That's all for now.
I have to go do my March playdate polls.

arrrrg

I'm cramping, and I haven't ovulated.

Lost friends...

This might be a little pathetic, so you can stop reading now, its ok.
I was just thinking about friends who were important to me in school, and thru time that I have lost touch with.
I have a friend Amanda and I can't find her anywhere, and her mom sold her house. And, a friend Greg, who I have also been such good friends with for so long, I would go to their family events. He is online all the time, but never responds to me. That is what makes me sad. I wonder how people can forget so easy?
I must have a sappy heart, b/c I just can let go so easy. I spend some occasions thinking about people dear to my heart, and wishing I could contact them. Obviously we have all moved on with our lives, and are now pursuing our own things, but why can't we still keep old friends?
I don't mean to be so depressing.

wink at someone today...

That's what my dove dark chocolate wrapper said.
It's about that time, but Matt is sick, so I think we are gonna miss out this month. Eventually it will happen. I'm just trying not to be discouraged. :D So far, ok.
Landen was playing with my pads the other, he went intothe bathroom, grabbed a bunch and was stacking them, and then pushing them around in his favorite truck. He is such a cutie. I felt evil taking all the pictures of him I took playing with them.

This is a new picture, and I absolutely love it.

Landen wearing a rob. He actually hasn't worn it before, its just been in the bathroom drawer. I think its size 6-12 months, which is why its small. Can you tell? He had just taken a shower with his daddy. He is sooo cool. :D

We spent some of the weekend with friends, we are thinking about planning a disney trip in April. I need a vacation, but we also know that my family gets together on Cape Cod the first week of July. I think the cape will be more expensive though, with plane tickets and car rental. It would be so nice to see the friends and home and family. My cousin James' wife is due this Saturday, that would be my first chance to meet their little man. But I sure do love disney. I would love to take Landen before we live to far.
On that note, our place is officially off the market.
So, my playgroup, one of the moms in it was my nurse while giving birth to Landen. It dawned on me while driving home from a playdate, she looks just like my nurse. She was the one to whom I was apologizing when my foot would go into her boobs during pushes. :D She was really sweet, and I appreciated her soooo much. Even though she didn't come on until 7 and landen was born at 10, she made a difference for me. I feel a little silly saying so, so I told her she was great. I hope she knows I mean it. :D
Off to catch up on life.

PICS

My little chef!!

See his hives...from dairy. These get worse when he has it more often.

My dad

Today my dad would be 58. He past away almost 10 years ago, when I was 16 years old (a week before). I miss him sooo much, and it seems after so much time that he isn't really. I wish I could hug him, or talk to him.
I often have dreams about him, and he's alive and was pretending to be dead. As a joke. Har har, but my dad always told jokes, and was a big goof.
He'd come back from the bathroom with toilet paper hanging out of his pants on purpose.
But, in my dreams, I always tell him what's been going on. He is still sick in the dreams, but he is there.
In the dream when I told him I was pregnant with Landen, he looked at me and smiled, and was proud. He said something special, and I told my mother afterwards, but I don't remember what it was. I wish he was here.

Smiling...

I feel good today, after being sick for a week, the weather is 84, and I just feel happy. I love this about living in Florida. It makes me want to scream with happiness. Yeah, dork, but that's the truth. Of course when its overcast, its quite the opposite.
Landen and I went over a gf's house today and I watched her 1 year old, 3 year old, another 1 year old, and Landen. We did great. We played outside, and had fun. Sang some songs. The 3 year old was insistent of torchering everyone. Landen must have thought he was such a big boy, he was playing with one of the little girls, and playing peek a boo, and making her laugh, popping up here and there. It's great to seem him with kids. He seems a little shy. I'm suprised, I didn't think he'd be, maybe he just needs to get used to it. Hopefully the playgroup will make him more comfortable. His dad is quiet though, maybe he just takes after him? :D
We are thinking about planning a disney trip in the next couple months. That would be awesome. We brought Landen almost exactly a year ago. I'm sure he'd enjoy it a lot more. I loooove disney. Can I just live there?
I need to go post an ad on craigslist, move some money into our checking (so its not zero, hahaha), and pay some bills before Landen awakes. And then I am going to go back out and enjoy this wonderful weather. ahhhhhhhh

Touch a truck!

Mom! I'm trying to work here!

Driving the Safety Harbor Fire Golf Cart. LOL

The big Police RV.

O yeah!

Touch a Truck.

Today we went to touch a truck! It was lots of fun, and Landen
LOOOOOVED the trucks. I dropped Matt and Landen off and went
to park,and off they went. Matt didn't want to wait in line, so went
to the boring vehichles
I quickly changed that when I came back, and showed them how to have fun! :D
Some of the children there were unsupervised, and out of control, pushing toddlers out of the way to sit in the trucks. I say, no way. No one is gonna push my boy out of the way. So I was the nasty mom that said, ummm, there is a line. And the kids looked all
startled like, huh? Ok.... Yeah, that's right!


They also had a playground, and that was lots of fun. We love the
playground. It was 80 out, and absolutely perfect!



Here we are in the rescue vehicle (of some sort). (the other better pic, didn't upload??)










And one of Matt, he didn't like this pic, but I liked it,how the tree was
silohetted behind him.

We are having some friends over for dinner tonight. I am going to make brownies, and melt andes chocolates on top for frosting. I heard its yummy. We will study the Watchtower. :D
