Miscellaneous Thoughts

Sorry I haven't posted in a while.

Gary is on vacation. So that means that he hogs the computer all day long!

Saturday night we went to a surprise 50th birthday party for my uncle. He was very surprised. (it was great). My aunt came in from Florida to surprise everyone, including my grandma. And my grandma was one pissed off lady when she found out that my aunt was in town the night before and she didn't know it.

Since the party was an adults only party, Alyssa wasn't allowed to come. That was OK since everyone was pretty much drunk and stupid all night. So, we took Alyssa to see my aunt on Sunday afternoon before she left to go back to Florida. It was a nice afternoon and all of my other aunts and uncles ended up coming too.

Yesterday, Gary and I went wondering around our town. We went to lunch, the mall and Toys R Us. We bought Alyssa a couple toys to let her play with now. She doesn't have much besides rattles and stuffed animals, so we thought we would get her some toys more appropriate to her age. Well, all she wants to is eat them. We bought her a phone that makes noise and a Minnie Mouse that crawls and makes noise. Life at our house just got much nosier!!

I tried to put Alyssa on her hands and knees to see if she would want to be like Minnie, but all she did is scream. Normally she will roll herself over 2 seconds after being put on her tummy, but this time, all she did was scream. I don't think my baby will ever crawl. She still doesn't even roll from her back to her tummy. I am beginning to worry about that part. I mean what kid won't roll both ways by the time they are 7 1/2 months old?? Seems a little strange to me. My doctor tells me to not be concerned, but that was at the 6 month checkup.

I guess I just had a bunch of ramble today. Now I have to go to work. I really just want to crawl back into my warm bed and go back to sleep, but I don't have that option today. I really need to thank my lucky stars that I only have to work part time and quit my whining.
