I read alot of blogs. I get these tiny glimpses into stranger's lives and they look perfect. Seriously. The super mom's who have all the parenting answers. The housewives who have a superbly clean and organized house. Their perfect little kids who have a better fashion sense than I do. Their adorable pets who seem to never shed. Seriously? Oh, and their rock-solid marriages. I look at these "perfect" bloggers and all I can think is, "I hope no one gets that impression from my blog!"
So here's a little reality check for my sanity if for no other reason...
Yes, I own my dream house but ... we've been here for more than two weeks and still everything is not unpacked, after staring at clumps of dog hair on the stairs I finally swept them yesterday and the hair is back with a vengeance today, sweeping that once is the only chore I've done since we moved in (aside from laundry), and because of our mortgage, every cent of my (EI maternity leave) pay cheques are budgeted up the wazoo.
Yes, I am madly in love with my sweet hubby and plan to spend the rest of my life with him but... he frustrates me to no end some days (esp. when he sleeps through the baby's night-time awakenings), for my birthday he bought me a pair of "mom jeans" (sure I picked them out at his insistence but that didn't make me any less disappointed), when I'm sick/injured it is pretty much ignored but when he is it's the biggest deal ever, he's always working or working out, and we fight alot lately - and it always ends unresolved and with threats of leaving each other and then we pretend nothing happened til it comes up again.
Yes, I have the sweetest little baby girl but... I'm not going to complain about my sweet little girl because I am so blessed to have her in my life. My parenting is another story though, I let my 3 month old watch TV because it holds her attention and I'm tired of singing the ABC song while bouncing her on my lap. Sometimes I even leave her crying in her crib while I finish a meal because I just want to finish one meal without trying to eat around the baby on my lap. Sometimes I cry because I just want to go one day without having to change my clothes 5 times because she spit up on me.
Yes, my dog is effin adorable but... some days I want to open the door and encourage her to run away. Harsh I know, but I'm tired of always being the one to clean up after her when she's dug through the garbage or torn a poopy diaper into little sh&^ty shreds and left them spread across our home.
As for me, sometimes I wear the same dirty @$$ sweatpants for days and days without ever taking them off. Sometimes I eat McDonald's daily for a week or more - and only take a day off to order take-out pizza. I haven't had someone cut my hair for me in years. I have at least 20lbs of baby weight that I'd like to get rid of though I never ever work out. I often feel bored, unfulfilled, and resentful. I don't have a life outside of my daughter which is emotionally draining. I never clean, rarely cook, and am bad at keeping in contact with people that I care about.
This is me. I am soooo not perfect but I kinda sorta maybe love my life just the same. Even if it is spent covered in spit-up, wearing "mom jeans", batheing once a week... Oh, didn't I mention the batheing part? Hmm :) This is my life!

Update.
Sorry for being so absent lately. We've been busy packing and moving and living - without the internet or my cellphone. Here is our update:
Turkey Butt is officially a member of the Canadian Forces Reserves as of last Thursday. He is taking his road test in less than an hour and fingers crossed by 11am I won't have to play chauffeur any more. He's still cooking but hopes to be out of there ASAP - or June at the latest.
Ellie Belly is creeping up on her 4 month milestone. She had this amazing growth spurt where she became so long (but still so slim) and now in the past few days she is finally starting to fill out. such a solid babe, just like her Mama was :). She loves to stand while clasping onto any willing fingers and can even pull herself up from her knees to a standing position. She talks alot, especially if someone is making eye contact with her - sometimes her words even resemble the sounds of real words which we obviously adore. She is even beginning to sing along (ahhh babb bahh's) to some of her favorite songs - Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, Goodnight Sweetheart, Twinkle Twinkle, Baby Beluga, and the ABC song. Her hair is getting long (minus the bald spot she's created on the back of her head from rubbing it back and forth against her crib bedding) and darker blonde. Though occasionally it still looks reddish. Oh, and she is finally into cloth diapers 24/7. My favorites being One-Size FuzziBunz and Size One Sunbaby's.
Adora is slowly getting used to her new house. The transition was made easier by the woodstove which she loves lying in front of - some mountain dog, eh? She is battling ear infections in both ears like a pro and has been diagnosed with an Aural Hematoma in her right ear. We considered surgery but have instead opted to give it time to heal naturally. So far the medicine she's taking for her ear infections has been easing the amount of fluid in her ear. Other than that, Adora is Adora - into everything, wildly playful at times though usually lazy, and pretty darn lovable. You know, when she's not making me tear my hair out because I've come home to chewed up baby toys, cloth diapers, trash, etc.
And me? Well I've been busy with the new house. We have officially been living in our dream house for almost two weeks now. It is pretty darn amazing, but also a lot of work. I don't know that I'll ever get ahead in my laundering or dusting. Just keeping the fire in the woodstove going is a chore in itself. Especially on days when i'd rather stay in bed - in Turkey Butt's dirty sweats for the 6th day in a row. A baby who often gets up 5 or 6 times through the night will do that to you. Pure exhaustion I tell you. I'll be happy when Turkey Butt can drive himself to and from work so that I can try to get Little Miss Elle on a sleep schedule. I'm thinking about trying the no-tears method. The few times that she's been exhausted and I've had things to do, I've tried to let her cry it out but she just becomes catatonic - screaming, can't catch her breath, coughing fits. Clearly it's not working. That being said, my attempts at the no-tears method have resulted in 15 to 20 minute cat naps if I'm lucky. Oh happy medium, I will find you.
As usual, this is my life!

Remember that time..
Hey, remember that time I left a pot of boiling water on the stove for an hour? You don't? Well I guess that's because it just happened. I claim that it was Little Miss Elle spitting up on me that caused me to forget the pot. That could be true. But honestly, I even forget what happened to cause me to forget the pot. I guess you could say that I'm forgetful.
Did you know that when the water all evaporates from the pot, the pot begins resembling the burner. Trust. Turkey Butt threw the pot out into our rain drenched yard and it landed bottom up. Let's just say the bottom of the pot was as red as Rudolph's nose (I love Xmas). Turkey Butt had to put on shoes and put the pot into a snow bank to cool it down. Hmm, I'm pretty sure that Turkey Butt will never let me within ten feet of the oven again... This is my life...

On this New Year's Eve...
2010 has been a rollercoaster of a ride and there are so many things for me to be thankful for! Through the ups and the downs, it really did turn out to be a wonderful year full of love and happiness.
... my dad started walking again after his accident and was able to return to work and best of all (for him anyway) play golf.
... my sister is still my best friend and we're lucky enough to live close by and visit at least weekly
... my mom was able to visit us more often than she did last year, even if the circumstances weren't always the best
... my stepmom loves my dad, accepts my sister and i as her own children and was an amazingly strong support system for my dad while he was injured
... my family has survived the year - though not everyone will survive 2011, we had no deaths in 2010
... my bestest has found the love of her life and i\m so thrilled that he's good to her and treats her right
And me? Well, in March, Turkey Butt kissed me and I knew that I was madly in love with him and would never kiss another man ever again. We tumbled into this whirlwind love affair that I know will last the rest of our lives. I love him more every second of every day and wish we could just spend a lifetime together playing boardgames and watching movies and travelling from my family's cottage to his and hanging out with the animal babies and loving each other like it's going out of style. In 2010 we kissed, fell in love, were accepted by and fell in love with each other's family, we moved in together, we got our own place, we got pregnant, we loved and supported each other through a miscarriage, we adopted a new animal baby, we got engaged and we started new Christmas tradtions that we plan to pass down to our children someday! It wasn't always pretty, but it was always love.
Now, to 2011, all I have to say is: Bring it!

All I Want For Christmas...
Because I know you're too busy to check your mail, I mean really - who goes to the post office anymore, I thought I'd send you my Christmas Wish List via Blogspot. I'm sure that you privately follow me. Oh, and just to insure that I stay on your nice list, I'm making my shopping super easy for you - it's ALL online and it's all from Etsy. Can you say one stop shopping? All you have to do is add all the items to your cart, go to the check out, pay using your (always active, i'm sure) Paypal account and VOILA, you're done. You can even get it shipped to my house (and those Etsy elves always have such beautiful packaging). Dude, err, I mean Santa Dude, you just saved yourself a trip to the Annapolis Valley! Now you'll have more time for milk and cookies! And without further ado, my list:
monkeyandsquirrel, $39.38CAD
rollandtumblepress, $20.73 CAD
CantonBoxCompany, $4.15 CAD
PegandAwl, $88.08 CAD
Thanks Santa, you're one of a kind! And while you're at it, why don't you get yourself a little something?! From me!
nikid, $4.15 CAD

TV Lineup
Since Turkey Butt and Adora went for a hike, I've decided to cuddle up on the couch and catch up on some TV. Since we don't have cable, I have to catch up on the internet. My lineup goes something like this:
Mike and Molly Season 1 Episode 5
Grey's Anatomy Season 7 Episode 4
The Defender Season 1 Episode 3
Mad Men Season 1 Episode 3
Blue Bloods Season 1 Episode 2
I might need some made at home Cafe Mocha to go with it. This is my life :)

A case of the grumps.
I think that once in awhile I am allowed to be grumpy! For instance, if I haven't been home for more than 5 minutes in the last 15 hours because I've been working. If my boss shows up late to relieve me, again. If I go to scrape the frost off my car only to realize that my perfectly-good-last-summer scraper is broken and the actualy scraping part of it is missing. If I notice a large pile of turkey fat on my back seat where Turkey Butt kept the turkey during our hour long drive to the cottage for Thanksgiving. The turkey he promised wouldn't spill on my backseat and made it seem like that was such a silly question for me to ask. If I try to pull in my driveway and have to wait for the delinquent from upstairs (and his buddy - the town's resident underage drunk whom i've caught shoplifting at a previous job) to stop smoking in the middle of the driveway and move out of my way. If I pull into the driveway and realize that the parking lot is full, again - and I won't be able to back into my awkward parking space. If I get out of the Jeep to find Turkey Butt standing in the door, ready to leave for work even though I've seen him for less than 10 minutes since 2pm yesterday. AND THEN, he gets huffy about my grumpiness and leaves without saying goodbye or even giving me a goodbye kiss, only making me MORE grumpy. HMPH! Today is a grumpy day. This is my life.

Exhausted.
I have worked ten shifts this week. Turkey Butt is taking a driver's training course this weekend (on top of working his usual shifts) so I haven't spent more than 15 minutes with him since Wednesday night. Wednesday also happens to be the last night that I slept in my own bed overnight. I am so completely exhausted! Here's some proof:
- Threw on a shirt to meet up with a friend I haven't seen in months. Got distracted before I got pants on and realized I haven't fed the fish all week.
- Fed the fish in my shirt and underwear.
- Glanced in a mirror on my way to put on pants and realized my shirt was on inside out.
- And backwards.
- Realized that I haven't watered the plants all week.
- Or showered for that matter.
- Ate a PB&J on questionable bread. It was that or Mini Wheats and I didn't feel like opening the fridge.
- Started a new book. Still haven't written a review for my last book. Or the one before that, which my blog says I'm currently reading (NOT!)
- Put down the book every chapter because it requires much more thought than Facebook creeping does.
- Picked it back up every half an hour when I realized I've been creeping the same people over and over again.
- Tried creeping the people on Turkey Butt's Facebook. Turns out that's an epic fail due to the fact that we grew up an hour apart and previous to our relationship, had no common friends.
- Walked into the office with the brilliant plan of organizing it while Turkey Butt is away.
- Walked back out after I had only one foot in.
-Went back to Facebook.
Wow, I'm going to stop myself there. This really could go on forever. I am THAT exhausted. But there are too many things that I need to do - making sleep next to impossible. I WISH only for this second that I didn't give up caffeine because we're TTC. I could use an Iced Capp from Tim Horton's right about now.
Oye, this is my life.

Becoming A Good Follower.
Anyone who knows me could tell you that I am NOT a follower! Even when around new people (something that seriously bothers a former shy girl like me), I always end up leading the way. Sometimes I try really hard not to. I will go into a Staff Meeting repeating the mantra, "I will just listen today! I will just listen today!" but I always end up leading the conversations. Or so it seems that way to me.
Today I'm referring to a different kind of following though. I'm an avid blog follower, always reading the latest posts from all my favorite blogger's. The trouble is, I have never gone back to the beginning to read all their blog posts. Since I am currently off til Tuesday afternoon (and Turkey Butt is not), today I think I will cuddle up with Adora and become more acquainted with one of my favorite blogger's. Now, who to choose?
This is my life :)

Labour Day.
When I was a kid, I thought the Labour part of this holiday referred to giving birth and not working for a living. The strangest part was that I didn't even know ANYONE who was born in September on/near this birthing holiday. Blew my mind. Of course, I was also the kid who thought chocolate milk (not steak) came from brown cows...
Alas, this Labour Day I don't know anyone giving birth AND I had to work an awake O/N. Double lame! At least I got off at 7am and caught up on my sleep a bit. Just waiting for Turkey Butt to get off work so we can go for a hike (will add photos later) and enjoy DONUT MONDAY!!!!!!
For those of you not in the know, Donut Monday is this amazing holiday created by me and Turkey Butt. We are obsessed with Tim Horton's donuts - Blueberry Bloom's and Powdered's and Boston Cream's, oh my! So obsessed in fact, that we had to limit our consumption to once a week (and no more than 3 each). Hence, DONUT MONDAY! I am BEYOND excited!

Hurricane Earl, Bring It On.
Us Nova Scotians have this pretty insane habit of downplaying all storm warnings. Especially of the tropical storm/hurricane variety. Sure we have the emergency nuts who buy out the non-perishable food aisles at the local grocery stores, but for the most part we all just sit back and wait for our "I told ya so" moment. Even after Juan (a category 2 hurricane) devastated and destroyed many areas of this province, we still don't get nervous. 120km/hour winds? Up to 70mm of rainfall? 26, 000 homes without power? Whatever Earl. I just got off a ten hour O/N so I'm going to sleep through you.
This is MY life!!!

Beautiful Blogger Award
I cannot express how THRILLED I am that Lisa from Happily Ever After In Seattle (http://happilyeverafterinseattle.blogspot.com) has awarded me the Beautiful Blogger Award! Seriously Lisa, I just did my Lotto 6/49 Happy Dance! I must say that I'm feeling a little guilty about not blogging more. Luckily Turkey Butt just texted me from work to mention that his co-worker wants to sell his computer. There may be more blogging in my future after all.
Now, back to the award. To officially accept it, I must tell you 10 things about me. I hardly know where to begin...
1)I created a Facebook account for Turkey Butt so that my account would say "In A Relationship With Turkey Butt". The other morning he woke up and checked his Facebook. I've created a monster!
2)I like... the sounds of ice cubes clinking in a glass, warm clothes right out of the dryer, cold waves crashing over my bare feet, hugs that make me feel secure, men in uniform, falling asleep at the cottage before the music is done playing, my crazy family, etc. Sadly, it was only hard to write this because all I could think of were things I like involving food.
3) I HATE plastic bags! Even though I always manage to forgot my reusable bags when I go shopping, I still refuse to take any plastic bags. Much to Aych's chagrin, I will carry my purchases out in my arms and purse. Heck, isn't that what super sized purses are for?
4) I think that my little cousin Missy Moo is one of the funniest people I have ever met.
Missy Moo, Age 3:
"Cousin Elle, why don't you poop in your panties?"
"Where are you from?" - Cee (Missy Moo's older brother)
"From Mommy" - Missy Moo
" Where are you from, from Mommy?" - Cee
"The fabric store" - Missy Moo
"There's toilet paper in my Regina!" (during a road trip back from Regina).
5) Due to our crazy work schedules, Turkey Butt and I spend more time cuddling with our dog than with each other. Good thing she's cute...
and only drools a bit!
6) While at a local amusement park, Turkey Butt won me a stuffed bear (Beary Manilow). It is so 1950's... and I couldn't love the gesture more!
7) I know which days of the week my favorite home decoratings stores get new stock. I'm typically browsing their aisles so often that I can pick out each and every new item.
8) Next week I will be moving for the 33rd time (approx.) in my 25 years of life. I thought that I was finally at the point where I was tired of all the change. Then I found out that Turkey Butt would like to apply for the RCMP in the not too distant future and all of those forced moves excite me. Guess I really am a modern day gypsy.
9) Instead of buying every book I'd like to read, I've started reserving them from the library. Of course it's just my luck that I'll go weeks without a single book coming in for me and then receive half a dozen or so at once. I miss out on reading a lot of great books because I don't have enough time to read them all and don't care enough to re-request them. I'm currently staring down a copy of the new Stephen King novel. 1074 pages, 6 days til it's due, and 3 O/N's and an evening shift are standing in my way.
10) My fish, Hey Batta Batta Swing Batta Batta (Swisher for short), lives in the dirtiest tank imaginable. It's honestly gotten to the point where I may just buy him a new tank, just so I don't have to clean it for him!
I only have one blogger I'd like to award. In the hopes of encouraging her to blog more, I award Schmange at ...A Snapshot of my Life... (http://lifeisfullofrandommoments.blogspot.com/) with the Beautiful Blogger Award! Love you Aye.
This is my life!
