Promise me you'll love me even when you hate me


I have been incredibly bored since I got to Georgia. I have enrolled Jackson in a Kindermusic class, we've been to Book Babies at the library every week, and I FINALLY found a playgroup to join though honestly they don't do very much. I just NEED to get out of the house every day you know? but there is hardly anything to do here. They don't even have a mall to just walk around in unless I want to drive an hour away. *sigh*

I didn't know that motherhood would involve cleaning baby poop out of the baby pool.

I didn't know that my "wifely duties" would include giving Jason a vinegar sponge bath because he decided to spend 5 hours in the hot sun without wearing any sunscreen. Have you SEEN how pale we are?

I just made a Better Than Sex chocolate cake. I can't believe I have never made one before because it is AMAZING.

The LOST season finale was freaking insane. I loved every minute of it. It was confusing and shocking and just plain good. I love that show and can't believe there is only one season left.

I have been making meal plans every week and pretty much sticking to them. I've cooked almost every single night since Jason came home. I'm proud of myself :)

This week I read the Harper Connelly series by Charlaine Harris. It's about a girl who got struck by lightning and now she can sense dead people. She can sense when dead people are near and she can find out their cause of death. It's a mystery series, and though the first two were a tad on the predictable side, the third one (An Ice Cold Grave) was really really good and she is set to come out with a new one for the series later this year.

I'm waiting for True Blood Season 1 to arrive in the mail! I'm so excited :)

On Oprah today there was a house-trained hippo. I need one of these, seriously. I love hippos!

What have you been up to this week?

13 love me:

Not much. My house pretty much looks like I have an UN-trained hippo living here.

It's funny you don't have a mall but you do have Kindermusik.

Thanks for the info about the series by Charlaine Harris! I'm STILL trying to finish the Coffehouse Mysteries!!

so did you watch the Grey's Anatomy season finale? I noticed your title... just curious!! I didn't catch the Lost finale, I have it dvr'd... spoilers all over the net so I'm doomed for the element of surprise, but it's sure to be good when I do get to watch it!

Pam said...

I like to get out of the house every day too. That house trained hippo sounds unusual. I don't think we'd have room for that.

Fresh Mommy said...

Cute little guy!! With nothing to do it sounds like you've had a very busy week! I've got to try that cake!

I love the swing pic! I'm going to have to try that cake :)

Cassie said...

@Backassward Mom- yes I watched the season finale! I was actually watching it while I wrote this. I really hated the ending. Really. I don't think I'll watch it next season, I really didn't even watch much of it this season. Once Izzie started sleeping with dead people, I just couldn't handle it!

Thrice said...

yeah, hippos are cute but they are violent!

____j said...

i'm so proud of you :)

Susie said...

Looks like you have had a busy week:-)

Sandra said...

I may just try making one of those cakes. It sounds so easy, which is right up my alley!

(And thanks for visiting my "groovy" blog!)

Michelle said...

Oh I remember the days of being new in town with small children. It's not the easiest, but I will say that it happens -- there are people out there. It's just the difficulty of figuring out WHERE they are.

I AM going to remember that vinegar trick. Here's hoping the sunburn is better soon!

I LOVED Lost too - I'm confused as hell, but I don't care it's so fun to watch!! That cake sounds delicious!!
