Once again, it's been a long while since my last update (are you really surprised?). Here's the latest (via facebook) from the last several months starting sometime in August:
My child + Elmo = pure joy
Another interview tomorrow for Eric (yea!)...this time at Sam Rayburn HS in the town of Ivanhoe (Go ahead and mapquest it...I had to!).
It's official...Hadley can climb up into his highchair and buckle himself in. Now if he could just fix his own meals first! :-)
We're about to move to a brand new bldg at work & all anyone here can do is complain (today it's the bathrooms at new bldg). Seriously?! Be glad you have a job!
Another first for Hadley occurred tonight - his first black eye. All boy!
Hadley's latest favorite Sesame Street character: Gogo. (That's Grover if you don't speak Hadley.)
Learned tonight that Hadley loves PB&J sandwiches. Who knew!?!
I love being a mom. I love knowing that, sometimes, I am the only one who can comfort Hadley the way he wants and needs.
More job disappointment for Eric. Good grief...will it ever stop!?!
What are we going to do this weekend???
Hadley is watching "mamo" (aka "nemo").
It's after 5:00...I guess we should get Hadley up from his nap. (Tired boy!)
9:00 on a Saturday night...think I'll go to bed. That's right - that's the exciting life we lead around here!
Today has been such a fun day with my silly little talkative boy!
Hadley is so much fun to play with right now, is hilarious without even trying, & is starting to carry on little conversations with us. I love it!!
Hadley's newest love: Mega Blocks.
People the NEW building is (almost) done. NO! They can't add doors, move built in cabinets, make your office bigger, or change rr from his to hers. Get over it!
Two good things about today: 1.It's Friday. 2.It's haircut day.
Sweet Hadley, thank you so much for waking up at 5:20 this Saturday morning. It was great to be up that early on the weekend. Love, A Very Sleepy Mommy
This time of year makes me miss teaching.
So glad I still have a few years before I send my baby to school.
Super frustrated about the job situation for Eric.
Hadley has a terrible habit of swallowing food (usually noodles of any type) without chewing them. Result: choking / gagging on said food. Any advise?
Weekend plans: play legos, laundry, watch elmo, grocery shopping, color, clean house, build block towers, cook a couple meals, play in the sprinkler...
My baby boy is growing up. *sniff*sniff*
Frustrated. It's September for goodness sake. C'mon.
Sitting in my recliner; watching tv; looking at the mess of toys in my living room; thinking of everything I need to do; thinking I'm not gonna do any of it.
Friday before a 3-day weekend...c'mon 4:00.
Long weekend - yippee!
Saw a fancy red sports car w/a middle-aged couple broke down on roadsode; funny dialogue / role playing then took place by this couple.
Watching some Texas Tech football!
Lazy day
Tomorrow we (the grown-ups in this house) start back on WW. Maybe we can motivate each other because we have got to do this.
Commonly heard @ our house: no no, sit on your bottom, wild wild elmo, pooh, mine, go mama, night night, uh oh, seat, papa mimi, daddy silly, shoo bug...
My sweet baby is snotty and congested tonight. Yuck! The only good thing about that is he is extra cuddly as a result.
Allergies have attacked everyone in this house. When will the noses stop running, the eyes stop watering, and the stuffiness stop stuffing? Bring on the Zyrtec!
Remembering...9 years ago I was teaching Geometry in Weatherford & we spent all day watching the events play out, starting right after the first plane hit.
I love, love, love to see the pure joy on Hadley's face when he laughs. Not much better.
Today is my Friday! Wooty hooty hoo!
Headed north...
Happy Birthday to my favorite sister and one of my favorite brothers. Happy Birthday Kim and Tim!
At the KC airport with Kim waiting on Stacy's flight. Ready for a fun girl's weekend.
Sure do miss my sweet Hadley!
Small glitch in girl's weekend (involving an 18-wheeler, another car, & us)...what a pain (literally). Now time to forget about that & watch some Tech football.
Headed home...ready to see my boys.
Driving south (toward Texas!) Listening to the Cowboys game. Not a bad Sunday afternoon.
Home again, home again, jiggity jog!
Biggest Loser tonight! Yeah!
These numbers are making my head hurt. (And I don't say that very often about numbers.)
Yeah for Friday tomorrow, and JBF sale this weekend in Sherman.
I'm in the mood for high school football.
Rainy Friday night; working puzzles, reading books, & coloring.
Cut Hadley's hair again tonight, which is no fun at all these days since we introduced the clippers and started buzzing it all off!. But it sure is cute when we're done (if you can overlook the spots we missed).
What a nerd I am! Super excited about my new 10-key printing calculator I just got at work!
And now it's October...and still nothing.
What a great day to be outside. Park this morning, home w/windows open now, and probably back outisde after nap time. Wish it would stay this way!
So not looking forward to going to work tomorrow.
Per Hadley, my new status is "Elmo".
Can we have a do-over on this morning?
Computer crashed today at work. Nice.
Not even 9:00 and I am in bed. Nothing wrong with that.
Going to the pumpkin patch tomorrow.
Pumpkin patch today...maybe not the best idea because someone was not very cooperative or happy. Perhaps getting up at 5:30 this morning had something to do with that (?).
Hadley is so funny about taking medicine. We all take a "turn" before him. But this morning I was already gone so the puppy took my turn for me. Silly boy!
Explaining the difference between "poo poo" and "poot / fart"...something I never thought about doing until I had a toddler. Fun times!
Please pray for Dina (my sister in law) and her family tonight.
Update: Dina's dad passed away around 1:30 this morning. Please remember her whole family right now.
Praying for my sweet sister in law, Dina, today.
Going to the Peanut Festival in Whitesboro today.
How many times is too many in a day to tell your toddler "no"? I feel like I was "mean mommy" all day today.
Headed to Abilene for a couple days.
Home!
Sitting at a complete stop on the hwy for 10 minutes now (and counting); thanks so much foggy skies for starting out my morning like this.
Not sure how much more of this stress I can handle
Follow up dr visit = 5 minutes w/dr (yes I timed it) = $50 copay = 100% irritated Mandi. Really doc is your time that much more valuable than mine?
RANGERS!!
Really Rangers? Take Cliff Lee out of the game!
Well this is not pretty at all.
Why am I still watching this?
Today I am remembering my sweet friend Anita. Can't believe it's been 15 years.
Are.you.kidding.me??
Um, Rangers, do the words "World Series" mean anything to you??
Go AHS Eagles!!
Headed to Zoo Boo with my little cowboy.
Can NOT believe my brother is at the game tonight. (Can you say "jealous"?) Have a great time Sam!
Today I am thankful for Diet Coke (even though Sonic gave me a Dr Pepper this morning instead).
Today I am thankful for the freedoms and rights we have in this country.
Today I am thankful for change (especially quarters). :-)
Today I am thankful for heaters, sticky notes, and Chick-fil-A.
Today I am thankful for possibilities.
Today I am thankful for naps (and hopeful for one today).
Very frustrated at my mommying tonight.
This morning I am thankful that, because of the time change, it is light when I leave the house.
Today Hadley is thankful for Elmo, fruit loops, crayons, blocks, puppies, choo choos, and marshmallows.
Today I am thankful for Bailey, Jordan (Happy Birthday!), Emma, Hunter, Isabel, & Seaver - my terrific nieces and nephews.
Today I am thankful for veterans, especially my Poppa (Jack Hancock) who will be 96 tomorrow. Love you Poppa.
Eric, Mandi, Hadley, Griffin, and Eastland

Life According to Facebook
(Starting around the beginning of December.)
Whew...I'm exhausted! Staying home with Hadley is definitely more tiring (and trying) than going to "work" every day!
Snow covering everything at our house this morning...got to work (30 miles away) and absolutely no sign of any snow at all. Hmph...Texas.
Mandi is ready to watch me some NFR starting tomorrow night!
Holy macaroni - it's cold!
Seriously - if you have to keep your coat, scarf, and gloves on INSIDE the office then it's too cold. It's called a heater, people, and it is meant to be used.
Mandi and Eric are snuggled up in our jammies watching night one of the National Finals Rodeo.
Mandi is hoping Abilene High wins tonight and Callisburg wins tomorrow night!
Mandi had such a good time catching up with some 'old' friends tonight.
Hadley got his first haircut today (thanks, April!). It's amazing how just cutting a little bit makes him look more like a little boy instead of a baby.
Mandi and Hadley had a (mostly) fun night; yummy hamburger helper, peas, & yogurt for supper followed by a shared oreo for dessert (which was hilarious), then we played mega-blocks and read books until one of us had a melt down. And now we are both bathed, in our jammies, and one of us is sound asleep. I just love every minute I get to spend with him!
I hope Hadley doesn't wake up with wet jammies (again) tonight.
Mandi is seriously frustrated with work right now. Did I make the right decision taking this job? I feel so under-used here and feel like all my experience & knowledge is completely wasted here. Frustration!
Sure signs that Hadley belongs to us: he loves mac & cheese (like mommy); he has very bad allergies (like daddy); he gets ear infections (like mommy); he likes to read/look at books (like daddy); he has ticklish feet (like mommy); he is hot/warm most all the time (like daddy); he really likes drinking water (like momm...y); he loves any kind of bread (like mommy & daddy).
Our Saturday so far: mommy & Hadley hung out this morning while daddy went and validated more hogs, lunch at Taco Casa, grocery store, and now home where H is napping, daddy is napping, and mommy is doing laundry & periodically checking the score of the Abilene High game
About to watch the final round of the NFR...don't think we are going to make it thru the whole thing without falling asleep. Thanks goodness for the dvr.
Yummy lasagna, peas (Hadley), salad (mommy & daddy), and chocolate chip cookies for supper tonight. Yummo!
Only 5 days and then I get two whole weeks to hang out with my two favorite guys!
I hate it when Hadley cries when I drop him off in the morning.
If you have a minute today please say a prayer for my Mema (Keva) and Eric's Grandma (Mollie) who were both taken to the hospital yesterday.
On the other hand, I love picking H up and seeing his huge smile as he runs towards me as fast as his little legs will go. And I love that as soon as he gets to me he looks around at everyone else and says 'BYE'!
Both grandmas (mine and Eric's) are still in the hospital.
Hair cut/color this afternoon - yea!
Dear Thursday, Please go by quickly so that I can get to important things after work (pedis with the girls!).
Good things about today: it's payday, pedicures after work, and only one more day of work before Christmas break.
Well hello Friday (aka the last day of work for 2 weeks)! I am super glad to see you!
Mandi is rooting for the Abilene High Eagles today!
Today's to do list: grocery store; laundry; clean the house; and somehow get in touch with Santa to make sure he's all set to come to our house!
Grocery store - check; refrigerator/pantry cleaned out - check; laundry started - check; Hadley happy, fed, and almost ready for a nap - check; still to do: cook, bake, and clean house.
Day 1 of cooking brisket - check; all presents wrapped & under the tree - check; Christmas cookie dough done & ready to roll out/cut out/bake tomorrow - check; excited for Santa to come - check!
Making Christmas cookies!
Mandi has had a fun day playing with Hadley, making Christmas cookies, enjoying time with family, and watching it snow. Merry Christmas!!
Merry Christmas!!
Mandi is a lucky, blessed girl. We had such a great day; Hadley had fun playing w/his new toys & books, we played in the snow, we enjoyed time w/Nanny & Papo, ate good food, and most importantly I got to talk to Mema & Poppa, my dad, Kim, Tim, and Sam. Such a Merry Christmas!
On our way to Quanah for Christmas-Round 2.
33!!
Driving home...in the snow...not my idea of a good time.
Home again...home again...jiggity jog!
Lots to do today!
Mandi is not ready for my vacation to be over.
Here's a shocker - Hadley has another ear infection.
Happy 2010!!
Our family's goals for 2010: 1. Healthy (& wishfully thin) in 2010; 2. Save more, spend less.
Bleh...back to work tomorrow
I am trying to be thankful today that I have a job (instead of dreading being back at work).
Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than youirselves. Philippians 2:3
I would very much like to be known as a "kind" person...but that little word has a huge meaning.
School not cancelled for me or Eric...but I am staying home with Hadley anyway today.
I don't care who you are - anything below 20 degrees is just plain miserable.
I am very sad to be missing my sweet friend Kelly's baby shower tomorrow.
Listening to some fun music and watching Hadley dance - too cute!!
It sure would make going to work a little better if people here didn't ignore all day long. I can count on one hand the number of conversations I have had here in the last week. Yesterday no one said a single thing to me. What's up with that?
I'm ready to go home to my sweet Hadley and see what funny things he'll do tonight, and get some sweet slobbery kisses.
I am trying very hard to make an effort to walk out of my office more and be 'friendly' at work. (Keep reminding me, Eric.)
I wish I didn't like Diet Coke so much!
Hadley weighed 6 lb 7 oz when he was born. What about your kids, mommies?
Thank goodness for spill-proof sippy cups!
It's amazing what you can learn watching Iron Chef America.
Friday! Friday! Friday! (And a 3 day weekend at that!)
In Quanah, getting ready to go to the local stock show later today.
Pancakes for breakfast - yum!
Maybe I'm crazy but I really don't care for pot roast - probably one of my least favorite meals.
I think my little guy is tired - he's laying on the floor "reading" a book and hasn't moved (or turned a page) in a while. Bedtime, anyone?
Hadley got a nice treat tonight - his first taste of Chili's molten chocolate cake - Yum!!
Preparing W-2s out of two different accounting software products (both of which are total junk!)...what a nightmare!
My tummy is growling
Seriously - no nap for Hadley equals ridiculous night for mommy.
Does anyone else's kid ever wake up during the night crying uncontrollably where the only thing that will soothe them is to be held? Hadley does this periodically and we have no idea what the problem is (bad dreams? growing pains? teeth?). Sometimes he goes back to sleep easily but then wakes as soon as we lay him back down and starts crying again. Any ideas??
Fort Worth stock show today
Hadley's newest treat - Nutella
I will be so glad when this week is over.
My wish list for this weekend: Hadley will sleep in tomorrow morning; I will start feeling better; and my house will somehow get clean.
A good day for everyone yesterday...let's repeat that again today.
Seriously...so ready to be done with anything related to W-2s.
Yippee - it's the weekend! Hadley's first week w/the new babysitter was great; Callisburg FFA Parent's Club supper & auction tonight; and date night tomorrow night!
So, so excited for my sweet friend Kelly who's having her baby tomorrow!
I am so excited for my dear friend Kelly as she gives birth to baby Klaire today and becomes a mommy!
Happy BIRTH-day baby Klaire! And congratulations Kelly & Kory!!
Today I'm sad because E is leaving for the rest of the week.
Listening to fun music and dancing and playing with Hadley...almost bathtime...back to the doctor tomorrow (for what I'm afraid is another ear infection!).
No ear infection today - a sinus infection instead. So Amoxycillin it is again.
Dear Hadley - Please sleep all night long tonight. As much as I love you, mommy doesn't really enjoy 4:30 wake up calls from you.
Crazy morning-up at 5 (thanks H), 2 changes of clothes (thanks to the dog & again H), turned around twice b/c I forgot stuff @ home, low fuel light on going to work, and oh yeah snow.
This snow is beautiful (from inside my nice warm house). However, it sure better not keep Eric from getting home tomorrow - we miss him like crazy!
Snow!! No work/school today; making Valentine's cookies for daddy; playing in the snow after nap time (hopefully); and looking forward to our family being all together again!
Eric & I met in August 2005 and were married in July 2006.
If you don't learn to be thoughtful, you end up regretting missed opportunities to demonstrate love. (The Love Dare)
Dear Hadley - I think mommy & daddy have finally figured out why you have been acting so weird this week (you know - waking up at 4 a.m., throwing fits for no reason, not eating things you normally would). Could it be those 2 (or maybe more) little molars we spotted in your mouth tonight while you were crying (screami...ng) about the stickers we took away from you in the bath tub? I think that just might be it!
Callisburg local livestock show tomorrow
Today's to-do list: haircut for Hadley; make a b-day cake for Eric; Callisburg stock show; laundry; play time and nap time for Hadley. So far only accomplished one of those - the haircut, but I did it myself so that's a pretty big accomplishment (just don't inspect it too closely!).
What a great day! Hadley was is such a good mood all day, and was super silly and fun.
I am so blessed to have such an amazing husband and a sweet, loving, silly little boy who loves to give hugs and kisses to mommy & daddy.
Hanging out at home today with Hadley (Hope you feel better soon, Miss Nola!). Maybe I'll get caught up on laundry. But mostly, we will probably just play and enjoy the day.
So not looking forward to the webinar I have to sit through all day today. Bleh!
If there's one thing I can't stand it's rude, accusatory behavior by someone who thinks they know everything. Attention: NO ONE KNOWS EVERYTHING!!!
Headed to Muenster to give E a little supper break from the Cooke county stock show.
Well hello, Friday! Thanks for coming back again.
Paid off two big debts today - that feels good!
Where did the weekend go??
Last night we introduced Hadley to the joy that is girl scout cookies. I think he is a fan!
Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going.
Apparently I put on my 'Invisible Suit' this morning without realizing it.
Wow - two blog updates in 24 hours - maybe I will get back into the habit.

Updates via Facebook
Starting back around the beginning of October sometime...
Mandi is home with Hadley again today. Ear infection #4 for him. Thank goodness for Amoxicillin (sp?).
Mandi is back at work today while Eric stays at home with Hadley. I'm ready for my sweet boy to be all better!
It is definitely Hadley's bedtime!!
Dear Hadley- As much as mommy loves rocking and cuddling you, it would be great if we could avoid doing that in the middle of the night tonight. If you do wake up during the night and don't feel good, mommy will come get you, but she would really prefer if that doesn't happen. So, sweet boy, just remember how good it feels to sleep all night long and wake up rested and happy in the morning. Night, night baby.
Well hello, Friday! It's so nice to see you again.
The flu has infiltrated our house.
Mandi just spent over $200 on Tamaflu for the three of us (and it's only preventative for the two big people). This stuff better work or I'm not gonna' be happy!
Hadley appears to have a very mild case of the flu...to watch him play today you wouldn't even know he is sick...and his fever is gone tonight (hopefully for good!).
No more fever...happy/laughing baby...maybe we can get back to normal around here!
Pedi's tonight - yay!!
Oh beautiful sunshine - where are you hiding??
Mandi is in Dallas for a meeting tomorrow - missing my boys.
Mandi is, once again, playing with Hadley while Eric fixes supper...homemade pizzas - yum!
Mandi is exhausted
Mandi is super glad it's Friday!
Mandi is at a pig sale in Vernon.
Happy 11 month birthday, sweet boy...can't believe how quickly you're approaching a year!
Mandi needs diet coke...stat...an IV of it would be great.
seriously?? more rain??
Dear Landlord - Our roof is once again leaking, which means it wasn't actually fixed the last time we told you about it. I would appreciate very much if you would get this taken care of immediately as I don't like when it rains INSIDE my house. In addition, I don't plan on paying my next months rent if this matter is not resolved. Sincerely, Aggrivated (Wet) Tenant
One good thing about my drive home every day is the fall colors on the trees. I love fall.
Well, hello autumn! Thanks for bringing such pretty leaves with you this year. I hope you can stick around for a while.
Mandi is wondering what kind of crazy people run the air conditioner in an office when it's 50 degrees outside. Are you kidding me???
Mandi does not understand why some people are so totally 'in love' with (DOS based) software that is 20 years old, and think it is the best product ever! First of all, it's 2009 people! And second, do you know what a mouse is???
Are you kidding me??? Air conditioner is on AGAIN at work. Seriously? I still have my heavy coat on, little heater is running, and I'm considering covering up with a blanket. This is absolutely ridiculous.
Mandi could not be more tired of this rainy weather.
Mandi is excited to put Hadley in his halloween costume tomorrow - just wish we knew more people we could go see and trick-or-treat (aka show off how cute he looks!).
Mandi and Hadley are still hanging out in our jammies. I love lazy Saturday mornings!
Lazy morning over - now we're on our way to the Pumpkin Patch!
Why is it that my house is never clean and the laundry is never done??
It's so much easier to leave the house at 6:45 when it's light and sunny outside!
3 am??? Really Hadley??
Mandi is feeling a bit irritated right now
I would like a Route 44 diet coke, please.
Today's agenda: meetings all day in Plano. Good times!
Mandi is sitting in a freezing cold room listening to a guy talk about software that I don't even have access to yet. Nice.
Loooong day! So glad I'm taking tomorrow off!
Mandi dropped Hadley off earlier tonight with his Gigi and Papa to spend the weekend (first time to stay at their house w/out mommy & daddy) and I miss him already. But hopefully we can get a lot done around the house tomorrow.
Mandi and Eric spent the day scrubbing, straightening, dusting, sweeping, and mopping, and now we have a spic-and-span house. So as a reward we are going out on a date!
On our way to pick up Hadley!
Mandi had a good weekend and got a lot done, but is happy to be back to our little family of three!
I think I'll skip washing bottles tonight...we have enough to last a couple days w/out washing. I'm feeling lazy and ready for bed when Hadley goes to bed.
Thank goodness for iPods.
Today I am thankful for sweet smiles and slobbery kisses!
Today I am thankful for my Poppa, who turns 95 today. I am thankful for his wisdom, his bear hugs, and the amazing example and influence he has been on my life. I love you, Poppa.
This morning I am thankful for my job and even more thankful I can take days (paid) days off when I want.
I am thankful for Mickey Mouse Clubhouse because it keeps my little munchkin happy while I get ready in the mornings.
I am thankful for birthday parties!! Can't wait until the big party tomorrow for my (soon to be) 1-YEAR OLD!!!
Today I am thankful for yummy and messy birthday cake and icing.
Today I am thankful for naps.
I am thankful for fun, noisey toys that make Hadley laugh out loud. (Ask me tomorrow and I might be more thankful for removeable batteries from those same toys!)
This morning I am thankful for a warm coat to wear in the cold wind.
I am thankful for pictures so I can always remember special days.
I am thankful for memories. I am remembering one year ago today (Nov. 17) when I had my last doctors appointment before Hadley was born. I remember how disgustingly swolen my legs were & how I could barely climb up on the exam table. I was excited and nervous when he said we were going to induce that Wednesday (Nov.19). Little did we know that Hadley had other plans!!
I could not be more thankful today for the gift we were given on this day one year ago. Happy 1st Birthday, my sweet Hadley!! I love you to the moon and back.
Although they were not enjoyable for any of us this morning, I am thankful for immunizations so my baby can keep growing healthy and strong.
Today I am thankful for: Fridays; Diet Coke; hot showers; bottle brushes; boots; pickup trucks; tiny socks; Chick-fil-A; applesauce; red lights....(to be continued)
More thanks for today: adding machines; YoBaby yogurt; napkins; skunk traps (that catch other critters too!); screen savers; crushed ice; Christmas music; sticky notes...
I am also thankful for Target; shopping baskets; not driving in traffic where we live; text messages; Fuddruckers; cruise control; toy trucks; sliced cheese; and toilet paper.
Mandi is thankful that, so far, Hadley seems to really like REAL milk!! My goal: buy NO MORE formula (until Hadley has a little brother or sister).
Mandi is thankful for family.
Today I am thankful for a healthy heart, regulated blood pressure, and the ability to breathe normally - three things I did not have a year ago today, and three things I have learned not to take for granted.
I am thankful for my sister who, a year ago, was staying with my tiny 5-day-old Hadley while I was in the hospital, and taking such good care of him; I knew he was in good hands and I had nothing to worry about. Thanks, Kim.
I am so thankful for the ability to buy gifts for other people - one of my favorite things to do!
Mandi is thankful for days off work...which means more fun time with my boys!!
Today I am so very thankful for my amazing husband who is my best friend and my precious son who fills my heart with love and joy. We have been so blessed this year and I am thankful for every moment I have with them. Happy Thanksgiving.
Mandi is excited to decorate the house for Christmas this weekend!!
Christmas tree is up & decorated; (some) presents are wrapped and under the tree; and today we are all going Christmas shopping. I love this time of year!!
Eric is putting Christmas lights up outside; Hadley is napping (totally off schedule thanks to a terribly rough night last night!); and I am making Chex mix, doing laundry, and enjoying my beautiful Christmas tree inside the warm house.
Dear Hadley - Do you have another ear infection? Is that why you have been so fussy all weekend, and why you had such a rough night last night? Does mommy need to call the doctor tomorrow?
Yep - another ear infection! One more and we will see an ENT and talk about the next step.
Mandi is home with Hadley again today. Ear infection #4 for him. Thank goodness for Amoxicillin (sp?).
Mandi is back at work today while Eric stays at home with Hadley. I'm ready for my sweet boy to be all better!
It is definitely Hadley's bedtime!!
Dear Hadley- As much as mommy loves rocking and cuddling you, it would be great if we could avoid doing that in the middle of the night tonight. If you do wake up during the night and don't feel good, mommy will come get you, but she would really prefer if that doesn't happen. So, sweet boy, just remember how good it feels to sleep all night long and wake up rested and happy in the morning. Night, night baby.
Well hello, Friday! It's so nice to see you again.
The flu has infiltrated our house.
Mandi just spent over $200 on Tamaflu for the three of us (and it's only preventative for the two big people). This stuff better work or I'm not gonna' be happy!
Hadley appears to have a very mild case of the flu...to watch him play today you wouldn't even know he is sick...and his fever is gone tonight (hopefully for good!).
No more fever...happy/laughing baby...maybe we can get back to normal around here!
Pedi's tonight - yay!!
Oh beautiful sunshine - where are you hiding??

My life...according to facebook
Since I have not been very good about updating lately, here is a quick glimpse into the past month or so via facebook status updates...
...and now you are up to date! :-)
Hello Friday afternoon - I've been waiting for you all week!
Tonight's plan: supper, bathe Hadley, bottle for Hadley, put Hadley to bed, and then play some Wii with Eric, Karah, & Doug.
Mandi is looking forward to a day at home tomorrow (laundry, playing with Hadley, making more baby food, etc.)
Last week at NCTC
Mandi has two more days working at NCTC and then I'm back to a school district (yippee!!) - not teaching (by the way).
Mandi is in Wichita Falls today getting my fingerprints done for the new job...you know-make sure I'm not a criminal or anything!
Dear Hadley - Mommy & Daddy got you a surprise at Toys-R-Us today and we can't wait to see your face when we give it to you!
On this day, terrorists attacked my country. On this day, thousands of our citizens were murdered. On this day, I will not forget......
Mandi is starting my new job on Monday (and I promise I'll give more info about it soon)
Mandi had a very productive day...5 loads of laundry, baby food made (green beans, carrots, sweet potatoes), and spent lots of time playing with Hadley. (Oh, and did I mention that Eric was gone all day? So that means I did all that by myself!)
Mandi is starting my new job tomorrow!
Mandi is going back tomorrow for day #2. (In other words, it was a good day.)
Happy 40th Birthday, Kim and Tim!
cough...cough...good grief!
Mandi could really use a Sonic happy hour break right about now.
Sore throat, ears hurt, snuffy nose, headache, coughing...bleh!
Mandi is watching football but the nyquil is kicking in...
Last load of laundry going; steaks cooking on the grill; and a happy baby swinging on the back porch. What a nice life!!
Mandi is listening to Hadley and daddy playing and laughing. Makes my heart happy!
Mandi is not a fan of thunderstorms
I wish I could get over this yuckiness I am feeling (without passing it on to anyone else at home).
Almost bedtime (for everybody in this house!).
Dear Hadley'S Immune System - Please stay strong and keep fighting off all the nasty, mean, sneaky germs swarming around my sweet boy right now. I will be unbelievably thankful if you could comply with this one request. Thanks! Hadley's Mommy
The verdict is in from the doctor...bronchitis...nice.
Family visit to the doctor yesterday. Here are the results: Eric-cough/cold/congestion, Mandi-bronchitis, Hadley-nothing (yet!)
C'mon 4:00 - hurry up and get here!
Mandi is off work and going to get my hair cut - two excellent things!
At home...hanging out with my two favorite people...feeling much better (maybe we have run the germs off!)
Mandi and the boys are messing around in Sherman today - fall clothes shopping for H, Sam's Club, etc.
Went to a JBF sale today (kids consignments) and got 6 longs sleeve knit shirts, 3 long sleeve button up shirts, 2 sweatpants, 5 jeans, 3 sweatshirts, and 3 jackets all for $70! That averages to around $3 an item in case you're wondering. Very nice!!
Mandi and Hadley left the house before 7 - ugh!
Mandi needs to go to bed...but instead I'm on the computer
5:30 is going to come really early in the morning!
*yawn* It's too early *yawn*
Mandi left my bagel sitting on the kitchen counter this morning...grrr
Mandi just loves when Hadley is cuddly at bedtime - makes my day!
Mandi is working on bond ammortizations - doesn't that sound like fun??
Mandi is playing with Hadley while Eric fixes supper - nice!
xnrcxud, Tazsb hsg (that's what Hadley has to say)
Just had our first bleeding accident w/Hadley - bumped his mouth on the coffee table...think his little teeth jabbed his gums. Scary (for mommy & daddy) but he's okay now.
Mandi is headed to Frisco for two fun filled days of investment training. Good times
I could watch Hadley for hours while he's sleeping. He has my heart.
Mandi had fun with my boys today at the mall in Frisco...got Hadley's halloween costume, got some work clothes/shoes for M & E, and Hadley rode a carosel for the first time...fun day!
Dear Cleaning Fairies - Please come clean my house this week. I have missed you very much lately and can't seem to get ahold of you, so I am resorting to this very informal, but hopefully effective method of communication. I will gladly bake y...ou cookies or even a meal in exchange for a thorough cleaning. Thanks!
Hello? Cleaning Fairy? You didn't come to my house today. Are you ignoring me???
Mandi is home with a feverish Hadley today
Another ear infection...poor Hadley.
Mandi is home with Hadley again today. Ear infection #4 for him. Thank goodness for Amoxicillin (sp?).
...and now you are up to date! :-)
