1) My child is 8 months old tomorrow. He is now crawling with his belly off the ground, finally sitting totally unassisted, loving baths, clapping, insatiably pulling himself up on everything in sight, cruising along the edges of tables, saying "hi!" enthusiastically, getting better at feeding himself, eating cheerios and drinking from a sippy cup (sort of, he mostly just tosses it around). I remember when he was just a tiny thing and I would look at him and think about him being 8 months, 9 months...even 6 months and not being able to fathom it. That sounded so old, so big. And all of a sudden he's like this real kid. Bizarro.
2) I am still without vehicle but the part is coming. YAY.
3) Our tax refunds have come and are gone. Didn't take long between bills, back-rent, new diapers & clothes, and food. Sheesh. I wonder if we'll ever get anything saved.
4) Joel might be getting a new job. Shhh.
5) I can feel spring coming. I can feel it. I am so looking forward to little things this spring/summer. Hanging diapers on a clothesline in the hot sun, Isaac learning to walk and stumbling in the grass, days on the beach, having windows and doors open with cool breezes blowing through, planting flowers and teaching him about bugs. Possibly getting back to work part-time. The excitement/anticipation is welling up within.
6) I am finishing season 3 of Six Feet Under which I've borrowed from my brother. I'm serious man, it is so fucking eerie, the similarities between the Fishers and my family. Each character is like a dramatic interpretation of a person in my life. The stories are the same, the mannerisms, the personalities. It's really messed up and intriguing and definitely the best show ever made. I am absorbed and obsessed and probably too into it. But loving it.
7) Today I got the second message from a random perverted stranger on Facebook asking to see pictures of me nursing. Actually this one proclaimed his desire to "feed from my breast" and I puked in my mouth a little. Way to get your ass reported, idiot. Ugh. Bleck. Vomit. Shudder. Major creepster.
I believe that is all.

i miss the ocean breeze. I'm just fa enough inland that summer here feels dead and stifling
It's amazing how one day you just have that "OH MY" moment and your kiddo looks older then one day you will look and see a kid then an adult. It makes me sad to think that my kids will be adults one day. You always want to keep them safe and secure.
You have made me miss the beach even more than I already do! I cannot wait for vacation in a few weeks!
Wish I was by the ocean..... ho hum. At least we are going to Disney and the ocean next month....I can get my fix then!! How cute is your little man!! They grow up fast, don't they? I can't believe Nixon is crawling now and getting seperation anxiety.....hope you are doing great!
XO Missy and Nixon
