Sorry, No pic now!
I'll try again later if I'm awake, blogger.com kept saying there was an internal error, so blame them for the lack of picture now! What a day! The roofers got here bright and early again this morning and then the Atlanticbroadbandman got her to install our new TV and phone and change the modem out for our Internet. So now we just have to cancel Direct TV, the dish is laying in the driveway.. Good riddance! The best part is now we only have to use ONE remote for each TV! We won't know how to act! I went over to Meaghan's again this morning to hang out with her until my doctors appointment this afternoon. Cammie immediately terrorized her cats and they ran for cover in the basement! Sorry Albert!! Actually Mimi stayed in hiding on the kitchen chair and just kept a watchful eye on Cammie (which was wise!). On the way to Annapolis we stopped at that garden place on Ritchie Highway because they said they were having a blowout sale on patio furniture and I saw the umbrellas that we are looking for. Well their idea of blowout sale is along the same lines as Backyard Billy's... 1700 bucks is a sale? I don't think so. They did have a really nice low table with a fire pit in the middle and 6 or 8 chairs with leather cushions. That was a bargain at $8000. We quickly left. Then it was off to Home Depot to pick up another paint sample for the basement and then Toys R Us. I found a Tinkerbell CD player for Cammie for her birthday. She was with us so you don't have to keep it a secret (hee hee). I also got her a ball which she loves! Whew... Then from TRU to the doctors office (about five minutes, would have been quicker except you can't make u turns near the mall) Cammie fell asleep and I actually got her out of the truck into the stroller without her waking up! She slept for about half an hour for Meaghan. I got sedated and injected and woke back up and sent on my merry way with orders not to drive for 24 hours and not to pick up Cammie for the same amount of time. OK.... I also wasn't supposed to eat prior to the appointment and I snuck some chicken nuggets because it was either that or pass out or smack someone. It's not like I was having surgery. But anyway, when we got home Ashley and Kristin came over and played with Cammie for a while. Kristin had to leave and go to work but Cammie had a great time playing with Ashley. She was showing off and taking out all her toys. It was very cute. And they got to see that she doesn't cry all the time! So hopefully they will babysit again for us........ So after all that, dinner, Cammie's bath and I'm hoping BED. I'm exhausted. Have a good night!!

....and let me tell you one other thing!!!!
Cammie knows how to work that attitude already! This morning the roofers showed up bright and early. We were going to go to the Browns house but Kristin is sick so we found out Meaghan was off today and kidnapped her! Joe stayed home to monitor things with the roof and the dogs while Cammie and I went and picked Meaghan up. We went to Laurel to look at stuff for Cammie's birthday cake (Tinkerbell!) and then went to Kohls and then Bob Evans to do Cammie's favorite thing. EAT! She was very good but did get a little fussy since it took forever for our food to come out. Cammie was in touch with her inner Abner and was quite loud at times, she also got very excited whenever the waitress came to the table. She did like her french toast and drank a whole cup of apple juice which I regretted later. (huge code brown....) When we got back on this side of the bridge we went to see Nana Robin who was very excited to see Cammie and she played with her little pug Rudy.
An unfortunate aspect of the roofers coming today is that we aren't having the broadband cable installed until tomorrow and the roofers had to take the direct TV dish off of the roof. Soooo we have no TV tonight! Luckily The Big Bang is a repeat! But how the heck are we supposed to fall asleep without the TV??? I guess I'll be watching the portable DVD player! Tomorrow Cammie and I are going back over to Meaghan's since I have an appointment at 1 to have injections in my back and Meaghan is going to drive me cause I'm being sedated. I can't eat or drink anything after midnight and they moved my appointment from 840 to 1!! Yeah right...

Clyde? Clyde!!! Hey!!!
UGH!! Have the sinus headache from hell! I think the antibiotics are helping already though. I feel somewhat better but still very unmotivated. Joe went to Lowes in Easton this morning and took Cammie with him so that gave me a couple of hours to chill out and lay in bed and just watch TV. The dogs were very good to me as well during that time. We went to the farmers market off Main Street but didn't really find anything, then to Backyard Billys. We are looking for an umbrella for the deck that stands in the corner and cantilevers out. BB's was insanely expensive, which we remembered once we got out and started looking around. We had gone there a couple of years ago when we were looking for a new wood stove and left very quickly. We need an umbrella that shades the deck because it gets full sun all day and it's really hot. We'd like to eat outside some nights but can't til we get some shade. Joe installed a new light/ceiling fan in the foyer and it looks really nice. We are hoping that the fan will help get the cooler air upstairs, also heat in the winter. He's been very motivated today, getting stuff done while I am being lazy. Cammie had a pretty good day, I think she enjoyed hanging out with Daddy. She took an awesome nap this afternoon and is asleep now so we'll see how tonight goes.

I think there is a chicken on my head....
Here's Cammie looking none too thrilled in Emily's hat from the Chicken Festival that we didn't get to go to. Stupid rain.. Anyway, it's official, I got sick for my birthday. Bleah.... I went to the Dr today and he put me on antibiotics so hopefully I will feel better soon. Cammie still has a runny nose and occasional cough but she hasn't had a fever at all so I'm not sure what is going on with her. I didn't get too much, really nothing, done today cause I feel like crap. We did take the Dodge back to the body shop to get the bumper fixed again but we got it back already.
I feel bad for Farrah Fawcett! Her death is completely overshadowed by MJ's. I heard them mention once that she died and I haven't heard anyone shut up about him. I used to be a fan of his music but then he just got too weird. Plus I would like to know how you get 500 million dollars in debt.
Hope everyone has a good weekend!

Looking oh so innocent....
Had a very good day today. Joe was off and this morning we met Captain Rosier at Cracker Barrel for breakfast. Always yummy!! Then went to Lowes in Easton for a few things. Joe cut the grass and then we went to the grocery store. I know it's not a very exciting birthday but I don't really feel well so it was enough. We are meeting my mom and dad for dinner on Sunday at a place that was featured on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives so that should be fun. And very good!! The show made us hungry! Not much else going on, really. We found another paint color that we like for the basement so hopefully that one will work. The roofers delivered all the shingles for our new roof so they are all up there ready to be installed next week! Getting stuff done! That's what we like.

Cammie and Eva and Olivia
Here's Cammie hanging in the pool with Olivia and Eva. She was loving life!! This morning we hung out and played, skipped Busybodies again because I'm still not sure if she has a cold or not. Or if I have one or not. It's lovely. Anyway, I had a doctors appointment in Annapolis at 1 and Cammie went down for a nap at 11. I thought oh she'll wake up around noon for lunch and I'll get her fed and changed and we'll go. At 12:25 I was waking her up, which I HATE to do, changed her diaper and clothes and grabbed a bottle for the car. Yikes! We made it on time for my appointment and Cammie got to see Sonja and the other girls in the office that she likes plus she entertained all the people in the waiting room. So funny! The drywall guy came for the last time this afternoon so the basement is officially ready to paint. Hopefully that will get done this weekend since we are rapidly running out of time!! Joe is off for a while so I'm sure we'll be fine, it's just finding a color that will look good down there. Cammie took a short nap around 5 so I'm sure she will be up and ready to watch So You Think You Can Dance with us.
Tuesday, June 23, 2009
Another gorgeous day today!! Of course I felt like crap all day but I think it's allergies or at least I hope so. Was going to take Cammie to Busybodies with Olivia and Eva but she was snotty and coughy this morning, I know it's just from her teeth but I know if I took her around other kids I would get the killer stare from the moms. And I don't blame them so we stayed home and played. She did go swim this afternoon, she played in Eva's little pool and then I put her in a floaty and she chilled out in the big pool while Olivia and I drank lemonade. What a life of leisure..... Tomorrow I have to go to a doctors appointment across the bridge at 1, so that screws up my day. I was doing a good job phasing out the appointments but it seems like they all crop up at once. I hate going to the doctor. Hope everyone got to enjoy at least some of this day, it was absolutely perfect out!

Silly!
Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there! Especially Joe and my Dad! Didn't do too much today, we went to Home Depot to look at paint for the basement and after much discussion about how much to buy we decided to get a sample of the new paint/primer mix in the color Outback. Thank goodness we did that because we didn't like the color and Joe didn't care for the paint. Soooo, we found a blue ish color that we are going to look at again that I think will work. Need something bright, since the only natural light comes from small window and the slider which has the deck over it. We also went to Toys R Us which Cammie liked of course. Other than that just trying to get the house in order. Marlee went home last night so Clyde is a little bummed that his girlfriend is gone! Plus he doesn't have anyone to rough house with! Poor Clyde!! Pudge and Bailey have to go to the vet tomorrow morning, then it's off to the grocery store. Hopefully we can find something to wear out our little party animal! Also hopefully our neighbors down the street will hold off on the firework show tonight, last night was a bit much. It gets quite annoying after a while. Plus while I'm being b*tchy, I wish whoever left their trash can in our yard would come and get it and whoever keeps leaving McDonald's trash in front would knock it off as well. I know they won't read this but it makes me feel a little better to vent about it! Be warned!!!! :o)

Hugging my cow!!
Cammie so silly! It rained it's you know what off this morning, all morning.... Poor Joe had a terrible night at work last night so he was beat when he got home. We didn't sleep very well either but at least I didn't have to run calls. We were going to go to the Farmers Market in downtown Stevensville and then to the much talked about Chicken Festival in Centreville but the rain screwed that up. We hung out here and I watched bits of Curse of the Black Pearl so I am totally loving Johnny Depp right now!! (I usually do but that just made it better! It will probably last until I watch a Bourne movie....) Cammie has been a party girl today but she did take a pretty good nap this afternoon so I have no idea when she will decide to go to bed tonight. She stayed up til about 11 last night and then woke up around 630. Bleahhhh.
Also, and I think this is really cool! This morning right around when I would give Cammie a snack we were playing and she patted her mouth, which is the sign for eat. So she did.. She did it a couple of times here and there over the past couple of days but this was really the first time it was purposeful so hopefully some of the things are sinking in. I guess that means I need to pay attention to the videos again! I know the basic words and have been doing them with her but now if she is going to start remembering them I need to stay a step ahead. Wish me luck!! Have a great weekend!!

Still a Rockstar!!!!
What a rainy gross day!!! Went to Arundel Mills with Alice and Meaghan and we had a good time. Cammie enjoyed herself being pushed around the mall, looking at stuff for her and eating lunch. We did manage to wear her out enough that she slept all the way home and is now verrry tired !! It was funny when we left it was raining pretty hard and Alice was carrying Cammie, well the rain didn't bother her a bit, she was opening her mouth and laughing. So cute!!! Getting ready to eat dinner (late for us!!) and then watch So You Think You Can Dance! Then sleeeep!!!

Cammie and Clare
We were supposed to have a play date with Mollie today but the weather didn't cooperate. We are going to reschedule for a nicer day! Cammie took an awesome 2 hour nap this morning from 11 -1 and just fell asleep a few minutes ago! Julie, Ashley and Mark came up to visit briefly this evening so Julie could give us a new key to their house. Pool time!! Cammie was crawling around in the grass and in the driveway and having a great time showing off! We had a fun day today hanging out. Becca was making Cammie laugh so hard earlier, it was so funny, she was dancing and Cammie was trying to do the same. Supposed to go to Arundel Mills tomorrow with Alice and Meaghan so that will be fun! I haven't been there in forever. Hopefully there will be some good sales going on and Cammie will not steal anything. :o) Getting ready to chill out and watch Deadliest Catch.

Hmmm, what next??
What a gorgeous day today!! So jealous of all the people at the beach!! I just want to work on my tan! Cammie stayed up later than both of us last night but once I got her in her crib she stayed there until morning so that's something. Joe finished getting the bar out of the basement and cut a piece of carpet out. It is really shaping up down there! Cammie was a big help too. She was so funny in the tub tonight, she was holding her ducky and acting like she was feeding it and then like she was eating something. It was very cute. She ate a big dinner (she loves Aunt Donna's potato salad!) and dessert (Meaghan's yummy cake!) so she is full and clean and hopefully will go to sleep soon! Marlee seemed to do well today. She likes playing with our pack, they get a little rough at times but it seems to be all in good fun. Hope everyone enjoyed this beautiful day!!

I crack myself up!!
It's hot again today! Yikes. I had to run to CVS this morning and while I was gone Meaghan stopped by and Bill and Zach came to drop off Marlee. I was only gone for half an hour!! I knew they were all coming but thought I could beat them back. Obviously I was wrong but it all worked out. We spent the afternoon playing with Marlee, Clyde loves her! She runs circles around him and they chase each other. Pudge can't really be bothered with a "dog" and I think Bailey is a little miffed not to be the Queen Bee but they've all been fine. Cammie thinks it is so funny to watch them running around in the yard. She is such a mess! Her top teeth are really starting to come in now and she knows how to use them. Joe is doing a great job of getting the bar taken down in the basement. It already looks like we have more room down there, of course there is no furniture now so that helps too. Hope everyone has a great weekend!!

Look at those cheeks!!
Whew!!! I am exhausted from chasing Cammie around!! It was nice this morning though, she and the dogs slept til almost 8am. Of course that means she will be wired for sound tonight, she is crawling up and down the hall squealing and throwing things. She crawled into the office and was playing with Bailey and I walked out to clean up the mess she made in the hall bath and Cammie shut the door behind me, I opened it and she shut it again, so I said not to shut the door while the dog was in there, when I opened it again, Bailey walked out and stepped on my foot and gave me a look. I know I screwed up and called her a dog. Sigh....
I went to pain management today and got scheduled for injections in my back again. Ugh!! Hopefully it will help some though. Not much else is going on. It's weird having Joe work evening shifts. Pudge is completely confused but today is the first day that he didn't start pacing around 430 which is when Joe usually gets home. He did however let me know that it was 5 (at about 5 of) and that I should be serving him dinner. Funny!

I don't know why I can't post a picture today!!!
I don't know what the deal is, this thing lets me upload a picture but then it won't post it to the site. I am not in the mood for this!!! I went back to the orthopedist today and he gave me another cortisone injection in my shoulder and it really hurt!! Now my shoulder is aching, but I think part of the problem may be when he was injecting my shoulder I was holding Cammie and she was wiggling around therefore I was moving too. Ugh!! I don't have to go back for another six weeks though. Yay!! I did see something funny on the way home though, I went through the drive thru at McDonald's in the Long Gate shopping center to get a drink for the ride home and the lady in front of me ordered, drove around the corner to go to the window and drove into the building. After my initial reaction of Uh, OK... I couldn't stop laughing. Gives a whole new meaning to drive through window I guess. After that Cammie and I made it home uneventfully except for ducking cars on the autobahn (97). I know I can have a lead foot at times but is it really necessary to weave in and out of heavy traffic. The same @$$hole passed me like four times. Idiot.. I couldn't drive in rush hour anymore, I'd be on the news road raging at people. I tell you what, Cammie is wearing me out! She keeps faking me out by yawning and rubbing her eyes and when we lay down she giggles and wants to play. She's really into her voice right now and making all kinds of noises. It's very cute! We are getting a moon bounce for her party and funnily (is that a word?) enough some of the adults are more excited about it. I also got the Tinkerbell decorations that I ordered two days ago. Birthday Direct is awesome!! Anyway, I'm going to go try to wear out the Energizer Bunny so I can relax for a little while. So You Think You Can Dance comes on tonight!
Tuesday, June 9, 2009
I want to be out there!!
Monday, June 8, 2009
Hmmm, what can I get into now??
Another gorgeous day today, although a little warm but it is June so I'm not complaining. Joe came home this morning and got some more of the bar downstairs dismantled and taken to the dump. He is finishing up mowing the lawn now, he also got drywall hung in the basement! I feel so bad, I don't think he even got to take a nap today!! I got some cleaning done and did some more laundry and hung it outside to dry. We are loving the lower electric bill from not using the dryer as much!! All these money saving things people are talking about now and doing, I keep thinking, why haven't we been doing this all along??? I can't believe how many people get annoyed when you use coupons in the store but then they are surprised when you save a bunch of money. It's their loss!
Cammie is feeling much better today. She surprised us earlier, I was in the laundry room and Joe was taking some stuff outside so he had left the slider open just a bit. Cammie had been riding her fire engine around the basement. I had just glanced out at her when I heard Joe go outside so I looked again and she was gone. So I went outside and she had crawled through the basement, out the door and was halfway across the patio towards the area that had some water laying on from where we had rinsed out the plastic pool. She was quite pleased with herself. Little Miss Independent.... Now she is moving all of her bottles of shampoo and lotion out from under the sink in the hall, I guess she is ready to do some plumbing work or something. I'm hoping she gets tired soon!

Recycling...
Today was nice but HOT! We went to Mowbray Park in the am to meet Sharon and Becca. Cammie swung on the swings for a bit and then we left to go to the grocery store where she was a big hit. I on the other hand was not as I broke a jar of mayo in Aisle 1. Ooops.. We stopped by for a quick visit with Nanny Robin and then came home. After Cammie's nap I filled up our ghetto pools and she sat in one and Pudge and Bailey got in the other one. I did a roast in the crock pot so dinner was easy! After dinner we went up to the outlets for a bit, Joe was looking for a polo shirt to wear tomorrow to play golf. It looked like it was about to storm any minute so we only went in Carters and the Nike outlet. Dairy Queen Blizzards on the way home made this a perfect evening! Minus the fact that an ambulance tried to run a bunch of cars off the road on 18. I think people would have pulled over if the ambo would've just turned their lights on. I don't know... Anyway, have some more errands to do tomorrow. Let me tell you, the fun never ends!!!
