A little relaxation

I came with Justin and his dad to Florida for work. The hubs has meetings all day today so I am free to do as I please. It's a little chilly for Florida but I had a nice workout this morning and now am laying by the pool just taking in a little sun. It's amazing how weird it is to not have to do anything. I'm used to running around like a crazy lady at work and chasing an active 2 year old at home, so i feel a little guilty just chilling by myself! Austin is staying with grandma Deb back home and I'm sure he is having a good time, but we sure miss him though.

Not feeling very good :(

Poor Austin isn't feeling so good today. This has resulted in us coming to a screeching halt on the interstate while Austin was throwing up and daddy getting puked on, and lots of cuddles. Hopefully he feels better soon!!

Oops! This is what happens when your son likes to take ornaments off of the tree and then drops it on the kitchen floor. :)

Driving along in my automobile

Austin got a cozi coupe for his birthday and has been loving playing with it. He puts his little arm on the door like he's a real cool dude. He also uses it to help him climb on things, like the table.

Cute poem

I came across this poem, and thought it was cute and so true. There are definitely days when there's not much productivity around my house, but then I think about how fast Austin is growing, and it's a good reminder to treasure the moments. As they say the days are long, but the years are short.

Mother, O Mother, come shake out your cloth,
Empty the dustpan, poison the moth,
Hang out the washing, make up the bed,
Sew on a button and butter the bread.

Where is the mother whose house is so shocking?
She's up in the nursery, blissfully rocking.
Oh, I've grown as shiftless as Little Boy Blue,
Lullaby, rockabye, lullaby loo.
Dishes are waiting and bills are past due
Pat-a-cake, darling, and peek, peekaboo

The shopping's not done and there's nothing for stew
And out in the yard there's a hullabaloo
But I'm playing Kanga and this is my Roo
Look! Aren't his eyes the most wonderful hue?
Lullaby, rockaby lullaby loo.

The cleaning and scrubbing can wait till tomorrow
But children grow up as I've learned to my sorrow.
So quiet down cobwebs; Dust go to sleep!
I'm rocking my baby and babies don't keep.
