its been to long

I suppose I get a little busy and forget to update. I think in this day and age its hard to keep up with all the boards, blogs, facebook, and myspace stuff. I still have a life to live in between all of that! Not to mention I have a wonderful husband and a very busy little one year old to keep up with.

Catherine is now walking like a pro and this week she is attempting to run. She gets really excited and starts going as fast as she can before she hits the deck. She works hard to get back up and starts the whole process over again. This child is determined to get everywhere and to do it FAST.

As I write this she is spending time with her daddy. I think he took her to the toy store. His favorite place to take her. She loves running around there and getting into all the different toys. I suppose its a good thing we are friends with the owner!

Ahhh this time alone is bliss... I ate a full meal all the way through. I didn't have to get up and get a sippy, kiss a boo boo, or find a toy. I just sat there and ate in peace. I took a loooong shower and now I am sitting here writing without having little hands pulling on my pants fussing because she hates when I am online.

I suppose I didn't realize how different you life could be with a child. I don't have just any child either. My child is a mix between my family and my husbands. The only word I can think of is WILD and what were we thinking! LOL! Some people have no clue what its like to have a child this active. I notice the looks that I get because she is so BUSY. She never stops. The bizarre thing is I don't know any better. I am used to this constant motion and I just do it. I get up every day and just do it. As a result I am very tired. I am now starting to take naps when she naps just do I don't keel over.

I must say that I am thankful she can walk now. I believe this makes me life easier. We can go places and I just put her down and hold her hand and off we go. MUCH BETTER! Well I better go and relax for a little longer before my two favorite people come home.
