I can’t believe that we are at the end of September already. I really can’t believe that it has been a year since baby Zachary was created. A year can go by so fast. It seems like such a short time ago that I found out I was pregnant and now I have a 3-month-old baby. I wish there was a way to share with the whole internet just how amazing he is, but I’m not sure that there are any words sufficient to describe it. But, enough about him…for now anyway.

This is going to be a very busy, action packed weekend and I’m not sure I’ll survive. My brother and his wife are closing on their new house today and moving tonight. They were supposed to close on Wednesday, but it got pushed back. Because of that, they are in an even bigger rush to get moved. They have to be out of their apartment by tomorrow so Hubby and I promised to get there as soon as we can to help them get moved.

Then, on Saturday, we are celebrating my sister’s birthday at noon. It’s not actually until the 6th, but she’ll be in Chicago next weekend visiting a friend so we’re celebrating early. After we get together for lunch I agreed to take the boys for her so that her hubby can take her out for a movie. Then, with the nephews in tow, we’re going to a friend’s house to celebrate her little girl’s 7th birthday and will probably be there most of the night.

Sunday, we have to get up and go to church, return the boys to my sister, have a quick lunch, and then we’re going to the Chiefs/Eagles game at 3:00. By the time we get home from the game I think I’m gonna just crash. I just hope Zach can handle all of the running around without getting too fussy.

Plus, on top of all that, I really need to get my house cleaned as the in-laws are coming to town next week as well. I really need the energy fairy to come visit me. Or at least to hire a cleaning lady for a while.

I have spent years now trying to find the right person to cut my hair and so far the best person I have found is myself. Unfortunately, it’s kinda hard to cut my own hair because I don’t have eyes in the back of my head. I was under the impression that all moms had this feature, but apparently mine haven’t grown in yet. When they do, it will certainly solve my hair issues.

Anyway, so I have been searching and searching for a good hair stylist with no success. A few weeks ago I went to get a haircut because my hair is falling out (one of those lovely post-partum things). I told the girl exactly what I wanted, showed her a picture and thought she understood. She didn’t come even close to what I told her. So, I decided I would go elsewhere and have it cut again. I did that today. Do you think I got the cut I wanted? Of course not!

I really don’t understand what is so hard to understand about the kind of cut I want. It isn’t complicated. Yes, I have naturally curly hair which makes it a bit more difficult, but if you have been to cosmetology school and are licensed, you should know how to cut curly hair. I can do it and I haven’t been taught. I just figured it out myself. I have now wasted $60 and still don’t have the haircut I want.

I suppose my next step is just to do it myself and take the risk of being a bit crooked in the back. At least the curls will help hide it!

I can’t believe it is Tuesday already! This weekend went by so quickly. It’s really all a big blur now. There were birthday celebrations, friends, and family. Then there were sick babies, cancelled soccer games, a broken air conditioner, a rushed trip to the store for baby supplies, good food, great desserts, and movies. Suddenly it was Monday. I stayed home with the sick baby, which just made me jealous of all the mommies that get to stay home all the time. Even though he was sick, we had a wonderful day together. Now I’m back at work trying to catch up and catch my breath.

…catch yourself thinking in blog entries? Sometimes when I have something on my mind I will realize that I have given it a title and am writing it out in my head. I caught myself doing it in the shower this morning. It would have been a great entry if only I could remember what it was about!
