My Little Pumpkin Pie

We went pumpkin picking this weekend! I LOVE the fall...and all the fun things that go along with it. I can definitely say that it's even more fun when you have a little one. The place we went to had a tractor that actually drove us out to the fields where you pick your own pumpkin. SO FUN!

Now it's Monday...and i started off the week by going into the office for the first time. It was a crazy day. I'm exhausted, i can't lie. It's just a long ass drive - and once i arrived i was in meetings back to back for 5 hours and then got back in the car, picked up Reese and came home for more chores and work.

Poor Reese cried all evening. She's constipated so who can blame her? She has her 6 month appointment tomorrow so I'm hoping to get some insight on some methods of relief for her - before her little belly bursts or she pops a blood vessel in her noggin.

To top off what wasn't the best day ever, i sliced the top of my thumb open pretty good while cutting an onion. Ouch.

Off to relax before it all begins again tomorrow.

Goodnight.

Ok...maybe not

So today is Monday, September 28th. The date really has no significance other then it's two days before I'm officially back to work.

I brought Reese to Kathi's house today thinking it would be good for her since come Wednesday she'll be going "for real." I took the time to re-organize our home office (where I'll be working most of the time) and get some things done that i know i won't have time to focus on soon.

After day two of totally switching up her schedule on me, and being VERY cranky this morning, i dropped her off. I had a feeling she would freak but she did fine as soon as i handed her over to Kathy.

So off i went to climb up in the attic to sift through some crap, and tackle the office. I felt so good thinking "Great! Haven't heard from Kathi so things must being going really well." Fail.

I text Kathi about 2 hours after i left just to check in - apparently she had been crying a lot and wanted nothing to do with eating. Poor baby. I feel so bad. Now i have no idea if she's acting this way because something is bothering her or if it's because she's upset to be at Kathi's house.

I'm assuming since she was cranky for me this morning that it has nothing to do with being at Kathi's but mother's guilt sure does make me wonder if I'm doing something wrong to her by not being with her during the day.

In other news - our weekend went by very quickly, especially with Nathan out of town until Saturday evening. Sunday was a rainy fall day filled with grocery shopping, cleaning, and Reese spending time at her Grammy's house.

I have some new pictures to load - and will post them once i do!

I'm off to get the Peanut in a half hour.

Progress

This one will be short as I'm off to bed. It's only 9:30 but my little "rooster" as i like to call her will be cock-a-doodle-dooing at 6:30 a.m.

Reese went to Kathi's house again today and actually got a pretty good report. She did really well: ate all her breakfast, played on the floor, fussed for her bottle then drank it, then went for a walk and fell asleep in her stroller. I showed up to get her 40 minutes later for Gymboree.

Of course her schedule for the rest of the day was shot, but we'll have to work on that since next week is approaching fast. I felt SO bad that i had to wake her just to take her to Kathi's this morning. I'm pretty sure waking her up was all she needed to throw her off for the rest of the day.

The weekend is almost here again already which makes me sad since Nate is out of town yet again, and it's my last weekend before going back to work.

Life is about to change. Big time.
