Or have I already lost it? I think the bad rainy, overcast, foggy shitty-a$$ weather has completely caught up with me. Or maybe its the fact that I haven’t exercised in nearly two weeks. I feel so blah – blah, blah, blah! I’ve been feeling so shitty (and lonely) that today I actually yelled at Sierra for crying (she was tired and ready for her morning nap). It kind of went like this:
“Why the F are you always crying kid? Grow up! What do you think you are? A Baby?”
Of course she responded by crying harder. I’m a horrible, terrible, no-good mother. A mother who seriously needs a break. How could I yell at my baby like that?

!@(smile.jpg popimg: “Smiley Girl”)Picture Of The Day: Sierra laughing at her Daddy
Although Sierra is still sick, I just HAD to get out of the house – I was going stir crazy ’cause other than my interview last week Thursday, and Sierra’s immunizations on Wednesday, I hadn’t !@(larger_magictrainer.jpg popimg: “Magic Trainer Sippy Cup”)been out for almost a week. So I packed her up and took her to the mall where we spent 3 glorious hours shopping! Yay! Shopping! Unfortunately I haven’t done my Christmas shopping list yet, so I didn’t buy anything – well except for a sippy cup … I’m hoping to teach Sierra how to use one ’cause it’s starting to drive me insane that I can’t go anywhere without her. I’m dying to go out for a run on Sunday mornings with my club, but if she’s refusing a bottle, how can I do that? Yes – my loss of freedom is starting to get to me – I’m beginning to feel isolated, a prisoner of my own home. – even downright lonely. Sure I see my parents and my hubby, but even then we stay at home – I need to feel like a real person again! A fully functioning member of society! When I do say f-it and take her out, Sierra repays me by being incredibly fussy and tired all evening – going to bed early and then getting up early the next morning! Arrgh! I can’t win!

That’s what Sierra sounds like today: Hack, hack, hack. She sounded like that yesterday and on Friday too. She has a bad cough – very phlegmy (is that a word?) and congested 
I wish I could be sick with her cold for her. Hmm on second thought – I’ll probably be sick with it myself in a day or two.
Sierra went to bed way early yesterday (@ 6:45 pm) and woke up several times in the night. Each time she settled down and went back to sleep as soon as I placed my hand on her back and whispered, “Shhhh, shhh, baby – Mommy’s here, everything is ok”. That was fantastic and I’ve never felt so important in my whole life. Then this morning at 5 am she wouldn’t go back to sleep (go figure she’d already been sleeping for 10 hours!). So I figured I’d keep it low-key and try to nurse her back to sleep. It was working beautifully until…..

THIS explains my AB* body to a T:
A mother’s body … has wrinkles and stretches and soft places it didn’t have when it was just a girl’s body. Those are all the signs of a well-loved body.
Ahhh yes… very well put Mindy! And now, I’ll have another slice of apple pie thank you very much!

After a 6 month hiatus she’s back – and back with a vengeance. That’s right, I’m sure you all missed her as much as I did – Kimmie at One Lazyblonde is back! It was a long 6 months but it was worth the wait – for now there are even more lazy’s in her family, little Brayden was born on September 23rd (?). Let’s all give her a hearty Cosmo GRRL! welcome back!
