Blank Mind

In the past few days, I've wanted to come on and write something good. Something interesting. Something new. And I feel like I've got nothing.

Morgan - Still going to therapy. We have an appt tomorrow morning. They may be impressed that she's trying to get to her knees and pull up. But that's about all the progress she's made. She still butt scoots her way around. I think she'd like to get up and starting running after Alyssa, but she gets so damn frustrated and screams every time she tries to pull herself up and then I've got to spend a half an hour calming her down. She's only got two more sessions before the summer break, but I think I'm going to go to some private therapy for her throughout the summer.

Alyssa - She's doing good. We need to start looking into preschools for her. I've even wrote the numbers down, but haven't called them yet. I really need to be on top of this if I want to send her in the fall. The one school we visited said that the 3 yr old classes are not usually a problem to get her enrolled as they don't fill up as fast, but I'd like this to be a done deal and have it situated before the school year is over. We did visit one place and I liked the school and the set up. I don't want to jump on it though, because it is the first school we looked at and I want to make sure we pick the very best for her. Plus, it is on Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 9-11. Those are the two days I work during the week. I'm sure my mom or my MIL would gladly drop her off for me, but I WANT to do it. I want to send her off and pick her up. I want to hear good reports and see her face and hear about her day right after. So, if we were to pick that school, I'd need to adjust my work schedule and I hate to do that too. I just need to get my butt moving and make some decisions and phone calls here very soon.

Me - I've purchased a spot of a flea market type of thing for the middle of May, so I've been going through all my stuff like crazy looking for the junk I don't need and can try to sell to some other person who will find it their treasure. I've pretty much emptied my closet to get rid of almost all of my clothes that don't fit me anymore. I've really got to go though some closets and start pulling out stuff that I KNOW I'll never use, but for some stupid reason, I'm holding onto. I think I've got four scales and I for sure don't need ALL of those. I also have not a clue as to how to price anything. So, how much do sell plus sized clothes that are in good shape for? And is it appropriate to sell lingerie-type pajamas? I have a few that are really nice that I hardly wore, but would be way to big for me know. And how much would I sell them for?

As Promised...

Here are some pictures from Alyssa's third birthday party at Chuck E Cheese...

Alyssa's silly smile!

Opening some of her presents! She got lots of princess stuff which she loves right now!!

Alyssa and her buddy climbing up in the tubes!! She loves those things, especially going down the slide. We actually still have a ton of tokens left over because she didn't want to do much else besides climbing up there. She has recently become such a monkey. I don't know where it came from.

Morgan on the ride at CEC. Doesn't she just look thrilled?!?

And Alyssa's Ariel cake!! BE JEALOUS, because I did make this one. A friend and I spend two hours decorating Ariel. I'm so proud of how she turned out. I plan on doing more of these cakes in the future. Alyssa loved it and I really enjoyed making it too.

Alyssa's first professional haircut. I've officially decided to grow her bangs out, even though it is a major PITA doing so. Especially when she doesn't want me to put a clip in her hair to pull the bangs out of her face. The hairdresser assured me that I am at the end of the worst part. I hope so, because they drive me insane hanging in her eyes all day.

My little girl is growing up way too fast. Please someone, make it STOP!

I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday tomorrow. We've already hid the eggs and baskets and now I should get some sleep before Alyssa wakes me up bright and early to find everything. Did I mention she is REALLY excited about the Easter bunny coming??
