Quarterly entry.

Well, here it is, my once a quarter entry. I don't know why it is so difficult for me, except that I have so much going on, as always, and that I feel like there is never enough time to do all that I want, like always. Well, my son will be 8 months old tomorrow, I can't believe it! To say 8 months sounds like a decent number. I remember when he was born, as if it were yesterday. My mother has been gone for almost 7 months now, that also seems like it just happened. I have been back to work for almost 5 months now. Life just keeps going.

We had a huge audit at work, and since I had gotten so far behind (I am talking WAY behind, so far that I was sure I would never catch up), I had to spend hours working on catching up. I was buried and hated myself for waiting until last minute. I spent hours that last week, and particularly that weekend, working, and not being able to spend time with my family, and not even being able to sleep. But, in the end, I was about 99% caught up. I promise myself now that I will not let myself get far behind any more, it is too costly. So, now I have a list of other things to do that I have been neglecting trying to catch up on paperwork. I feel the need to be caught up on these things, but don't want to do what it takes, I just want to spend time with my son, that is all I want to do. Do all moms feel this way?

Anyway, we had Thanksgiving. On Thursday we went with my husband's family to the Country Club. It was really nice, but it was long and went too late for my son, and he was so crabby. (Still way cute though). Also, it was a buffet, the food was good and plentiful, but it was so not what I envision as Thanksgiving, and it really did not feel like Thanksgiving to me. But, we had Thanksgiving the way I know it on Saturday, and the whole family was there, including my Mom's fiance, but of course, my Mother was not. I really missed her. I think of her every day, and I especially miss her when I think about how much my son has grown and developed, and how much she has missed. I get especially sad when I think about how he will not know her in person, only through what me and my family tells him, and from pictures.

My husband has had a bad cold for the past few days now. He is so sick of my telling him to wash his hands all the time. I am just so much more conservative than he is, in so many areas relating to my son. But my husband doesn't directly tell me he feels I underestimate him. Instead he says "Yes dear" in a very pacifying tone. This irritates me, and I continue to remind him to wash his hands, and he gets irritated as well. It is amazing how we can sometimes really get on one another's nerves. But we are still good, and we always come together, but things do change once you have a baby. As I said, life just keeps going.

I will try to post again, before the next quarter. :o)
Bye for now.
