But not because of sleep issues or anything like that. Just because I'm dog tired. Dog. Tired. Except my dog pretty much gets to sleep all day, and I don't.
Here's what's been going on with us. Me. Us. And him. And the other him.
...is turning ONE in a few weeks. I finally threw together an e-card and begged my Step-Mom to host a cook out. I really want a low key thing. Just a few guests, (so as not to completely overwhelm the munchkin me). I want to celebrate surviving the first year. I want to celebrate that special little boy. I've just been so completely weighed down with the rest of life this one extra event to plan has felt like a mountain. (see below).
Gabriel can say two words. Mama and hot. I'm trying to get him to tie the tow together and call me 'Hot Mama', but so far that's not working out. But everything is hot. Everything. Finger pointed, and 'hot'. He is also toddling around like a real little kid over here. And sleeping, mostly, pretty well. We still have our nights, but there are so much better. Still goes down in the crib around 8pm, and wakes around midnight at which point I go in to our floor mattress and cuddle till my 5am alarm comes in for relief.
2. My boobs.
Are free. Yes I am a few weeks shy of 12 official months, but the kid has no problem with dairy and let's face it, had he been born timely instead of two weeks late he might actually have been one by now. So we've made the switch to the real live MOO milk and he's doing great. No problems whatsoever. And I'm done feeling guilty. My breasts are FREE of the evil pump in style and it is such a great feeling! Also they are bigger than before and I need new bras.
3. My job.
Hate. My boss has decided she doesn't care much for me and invited me to resign a few weeks ago. I don't like invitations like that so I tattle-tailed to her boss and got her in a little bit of trouble. Because she can't fire me. Because I'm awesome. Nonetheless who wants to work for a bratty boss who plays those kind of games? I had one interview this week for another bossy boss type job, but we'll see what comes of it. This has only added to my work stress, but I will survive. I have a few friends at work who make it tolerable.
I wish there were some other way to get money that didn't involve work. But there aren't so many other options out there.
4. My friends.
Have had some really good great super exciting news of late. And I'm excited for them. Several of them. And they are having things happen like pregnancy and adoption matching and super duper thrilling incredible things that have made me really really happy. Like really happy.
5. Marriage Counseling.
Sucks.
Here are some pictures. I'm so picture deprived (just haven't got the energy to get up and get the memory card out of the camera) that I'm resorting to posting pictures someone else posted of Gabriel on Facebook (Thanks, Amy!). At least they are recent.

Sorry about the sucky work situation.
Gabriel is gorgeous!
I'm so sorry about the job, that sucks. But hooray for first birthdays!! Time has really flown :)
For a "Hot Mama"...anything dah-ling! I love these pics of Gabriel anyway...I will have to get you the "high resolution" ones very soon. (btw...I am a "Hot Mama" too...just of the sweaty variety! ;)
Oh my goodnes, he's adorable.
Sorry there's suckiness. Unfortunate part of life, I suppose. Hope the counselling and job situation improves.
Happy almost one year birthday Gabriel! Your hot mama has been put through the wringer this past year!
I hope you find a new job ASAP. I'm glad you tattled on that good-for-nothing boss of yours! Who makes resignation threats with out the authority? So sorry you are dealing with all this work drama!
I hope the counseling starts sucking a little less:( Hopefully the sleep situation improves, and all things will be right in the Murgdan household!
One year already... I can't believe it, it was what? two weeks ago that you posted the present you got your husband for his birthday?! I am pretty sure two weeks ago it was a bright August morning, right?
Sorry the job and counselling suck.
Gabriel is awesomely cute.
Happy birthday G!
Isn't it great to be free of the pump? I was so excited too!
I ummm. HATE my job too. Short of robbing a back or winning the lottery, I am screwed!
He's so adorable :) I can't believe it's almost been a whole year.
Good luck with the work situation. I'm right there with ya in wishing there was something else I could do for money...
First of all, if he's almost one, we haven't seen you in way too long.
I just bought new bras too. It was a huge milestone. Even after I stopped nursing, my nursing bras were the only ones that fit and it sucked.
I seriously laughed HYSTERICALLY at your previous post about hips in the air! In fact, we are TTC again and last night, I was like SCREW it, I could freaking take a shower when we're done.
Anyway, I'm sorry about work. Bad jobs are the PITTTTS! That's where you spend most of your time, where you wish you didn't spend most of your time, and you have to see those people more often. I'm sorry about that. I hope you get something else. Also, please don't give-up on the Mr. I went to counseling and learned that it's not ALWAYS his fault (though most of the time I think it still is). Still, I was able to learn and act on those things I learned amd have a better marriage because of it. Gabe needs both of you and he is seriously so stinkin' cute! I was thinking about way back when you posted about someone calling him ugly and I just still can't fathom that comment! Though, I do not think staying in HORRIBLE relationship is a good idea just becuase you have a child.
I'm sorry the marriage counseling sucks, but kudos to you for trying. The work situation sounds very tough. Hopefully something better will come along. Those are some beautiful pictures of little Gabriel. What a gorgeous guy. A remember reading your blog and where you were one year ago.....Congrats on making it through the year... Heather
Sorry about the sucky stuff. :(
Congrats on all the good! I felt overwhelmed by the idea of a 1st too, so we had a small playdate at one of his favorite spots with a cookie cake. It was wonderful. He actually enjoyed it.
E also said "Bird" to everything when it became one of his first (and favorite) words. He woke up saying, "Birdie." hilarious
they "invited" you to resign? that OBVIOUSLY means that they know they can't fire you. that sucks. why can't everyone just play nice?
cutest baby ever, btw.
Sorry to hear about the work issues. Too bad there are those power crazy bratty bosses at every job-makes making money not so much fun! Hopefully next week is better!
Oh, I've been invited to resign. Makes showing up to work the next day the suck. Really hope you find a nice bossy boss job with super family friendly hours.
That Gabriel is some kind of cute. :)
I feel you on the job front. Luckily, I love my new job! I still have nightmares of my old boss calling me! EEK!
And where in the hack did the phrase "Dog Tired" come from? My dog naps all day and is always wide awake and happy by the time I get home. Never tired. Ever. Probably from some hard working dog who earns his keep by working instead of snuggling and functioning as an alarm clock.
I have never understood the terms "working like a dog" and "dog tired". Clearly those people have never met my dogs.
I think "hot mama" would be a pretty good first sentence for a first birthday party. Keep working on that one. (-;
Feeling your job pain. This working stuff is for the birds...
I know I was here once, but blogger seems to be eating everything these days. I don't remember everything I wrote except that I really want G to say hot mama for his first birthday. Keep working on that one. (-;
