Too many ideas in my head...

Okay.  I admit it.  I'm officially obsessed with all things relating to my new house.  Maybe because I'm living in someone elses...maybe because I'm DYING to start seeing my house go up...maybe because I'm feeling crafty and need something useful to put my time (yeah right, what is time?  I mean my very few hours at night or the rare occasion that I get BOTH kids to take a nap at the same time) into...WHATEVER it is, I'm obsessed.  I'm searching Pinterest, Etsy, and other design websites (my favorite is www.houzz.com, it's basicaly Pinterest for homes)  like a mad woman.  I  want to come up with an awesome playroom...I want the perfect mantle...the list goes on.  Seriously, I need to stop.  Just because I see all these great ideas, and think I have great ideas, does NOT mean my house will look the same.  I have champagne taste on a beer budget =}  And I know my dear old hubby would agree.  He says we're not buying anything till we get into the new house.  Yeah right.  A girl has to plan!  SO, I am out to design/create something cute and original while being on a budget at the same time.  What I'm NOT looking for is my whole house coming from Hobby Lobby or Target and looking like everyone elses.  Not that there is anything wrong with those places at all, in fact I'm sure I will have plenty of things from both, but I want something different. Kind of shabby chic/vintage-y/rustic.  Now don't hold me to that if my house is none of those things =}  I'm going to a Country Living Affair this weekend downtown and  I'm super excited.  I'm also dying to get to Canton first trade days (http://www.firstmondaycanton.com/).  It's been way too long since I've been and I LOVE that place.  Okay, that is all....  

Surgery & Lack of Sleep. Zzzzzz

Kinley went in for tubes on Tuesday morning. Everything went well, and it was a quick procedure with no problems. The nurses and Dr.'s were litterally ooohing and ahhhing over how cute she was. One would walk out and another would come look b/c someone told them to go look at the cute baby down the hall. She was all smiles and she did look pretty darn cute in that little Looney Toones baby hospital gown at 6 am. It's always a little scary to put your baby under anesthesia, especially for the first time, so we were relieved to have this behind us. Dr. Brown said she currently had an ear infection at the time of the surgery, and this was just a few days after stopping a 30 day antibiotic she had been on! Geez! I sure hope this helps, and it's good to know she can probably hear us clearly now. Everyone says they see a difference almost overnight with this surgery. Not here. She has been fussy and irritable and overly clingy ever since it. Hope we see some changes soon!

Sleep deprivation is another issue we are currently deealing with. We had a few nights once we moved of good sleep, but it has been mostly downhill in the sleep department lately. I am so TIRED of being TIRED all the time. Kinley wakes up anywhere from 1-3 times a night, and will not go back to sleep unless she is patted or rubbed. I swear you can do it for 30 minutes, and just when you think she's finally asleep, you walk away, and she starts crying. Then as soon as you place a hand on her fat little thigh, she shuts up. DIVA BABY! For real! It's so exhausting. And lately all she wants is me...she won't even take a bottle from Daddy or Neena. She's rotten. Dowright spoiled rotten. But oh so cute at the same time. Baby bootcamp began today of *attempting to let her cry it out. Man is that hard, listening to your baby cry. And cry isn't even a good word for what Kinley does. She wails. She hollers. She is FIRED up! Her cry is not like a little baby whine. It's like a death wail. It honestly sounds like baby cursing. So say a prayer for me that this is a short thing we can overcome b/c it's really tiring.

Random Photo Dump =}

Here are just a few random pictures of the past month or so! Baseball games with Grandpa, playdates with friends and Kinley growing before my eyes...
