Does This Baby

Eloise has had a steadily growing vocabulary for the last month. I am so proud. She's really good with "B" words, ball, bee, baby, bye-bye, and my favorite, boobies. I know, I know, teaching my child such a silly word, what kind of mother am I? Easily amused, that's what.

Summer took awhile to show up, here on the West Coast. It was taking so long, that I bought Eloise 4 new, full body sleepers this past weekend. Nights have been especially cold, and the little lady kicks off blankets. However, now that I'm sitting out in the sun, burning my ass off because it's on the pavement, the radio says we're going to have a heat wave. I guess I'll add the sleepers to Eloise's winter clothing pile.

We moved last Saturday. I hadn't moved in 8 years, and now I know why. Where did all this shit come from? I've been unpacking for days, and I swear there's more cardboard boxes here than there was loaded in the moving truck. To top it off, the light at the end of the tunnel burnt out for me this morning. Our new house has a 9 x 7 foot den, that hubby suggested I use as my closet. I was finally going to unpack my clothes, after I built all my Ikea furniture. However, after spending 3 hours putting together the Botne wardrobe,  I went to stand it up right, and the damn thing fell over, and broke apart. The screws broke the particle board. It is not salvageable. I was pissed and tried. So I just did what I should have done in the first place, I contacted some custom closet installers. I will spend more money, but at least I can put my clothes away.
