Ode to the dead vacuum…. we got our vacuum a few months shy of 5 years ago, it would have made it to 5 years in October. Over the last few weeks it has slowly become unusable. My biggest problem is keeping it in one peice while I vacuum. Last night was the about the end, it would just decide to turn itself off as I used it. If I werent babysitting and expecting a visit from my family I’d already have a new vacuum. So I am hoping to get one either tonight or tomorrow. Any suggestions? We dont have too much extra money to use for a vacuum but we really cant live w/out one. At least I cant!
Watching 3 kids, including mine, today. It’s been good so far, except the kids dont want to share a thing. And lunch is always hard to try to figure out how to get it together, how to get them to sit and to feed a baby at the same time. But it all works out and I feel a great sense of accomplishment at the end of the day.
In other news, 10 days to Calebs 2 yr old birthday!! i am excited and not all ready for his party. I really need to make games or think of things for adults to do. Other than that nothing really exciting going on.
Last weekend Dean and i went away for the first time since we’ve had Caleb. We went to Virginia Beach and had a truly refreshing trip, it was hard to decide when to go home. caleb loved spending the weekend w/ his grandparents and uncles. He didnt even care we were gone. He decided he can sing along to songs now and sings constantly no matter what he is doing. The sad part was he decided to share his new talent w/ them before w/ us, but we were able to find out in a special way. We were trying to get Caleb asleep our first night back and of course he didnt want to go to bed so we laid in bed w/ him and as soon as we started singing him songs to sleep he started chiming in loudly w/ most of the correct words in teh song! It was wonderful, it was so sweet. I cried and laughed. he’s getting so smart it blows me away. I love my little baby boy so much!! I cant believe it’s been 2 years!!!
