I'm back!

Really this time! It's SO easy once you've skipped one day to skip two, and once you've skipped two days, to skip three and so on. I do have a good reason-well not good, but it's a reason, haha! We got Cayleigh a new bed!!! She has been sleeping with us since birth and can continue to do so as long as her little heart desires as far as Matt and I are concerned, but her room has slowly turned into playland and less of a room. We wanted to make sure she had a space when she is ready to sleep in her bed that is comfortable and warm. She has always been a kid that does things on her terms, and we let her, and I think it makes everyone happier. My mom once told me things are only as big of a deal as the parents make them and it is SO true. We could pull a supernanny and make her sleep in her bed and torment us both, but why? None of would be happy. As I've said before, she stopped taking a pacifier on her own, stopped nursing on her own, pretty much potty trained herself so it is working!

Anyway enough ranting, on to her room! Just like Extreme Makeover:Home Edition, I have the following people to thank: The Giauque household for her AWESOME furniture!!! We absolutely love it! Grandma Kathi for her beautiful bedding-thank you SO much for giving her the perfect set! We also bought her a TV and DVD player-no cable in there, but something to put a movie in her room and snuggle in bed!

Onto the pics! We've changed it a bit since these were taken but you get the jist of it right?
Good.

We don't have a side gate for her yet so as far as her sleeping alone she is just napping in it unless I fall asleep in there...

Oh and the verdict of the bed and why I haven't posted lately?? She begs me to "nuggle" her and I've been falling asleep every night at 8pm.

10 is...

I decided to pop back into my blog and reminisce, and boy is it sad. All of my pictures are gone, thanks to a company wanting $400 to publish them. At least I have my words...On that note, I thought I'd write a bit of what 10 looks like: -Eating a bowl of cereal and a pop tart EVERY morning -Really starting to cooking unassisted. She made a 2 layer cake this week and thanks to a 2 hour delay I got pancakes. Teaching her to cook has been pretty cool.  -Begging me for a cup of coffee because she wants to be grown up. I let her have 1/2 a cup here and there-they say it stunts your growth. I say she is 5 foot 2 inches now so that's a lie. -Texting her friends and playing computer games with them as much as she is allowed. -Watching Hallmark movies day and night with me and Marvel movies with her dad. She is well rounded. -Still loving soccer, but recognizing that sometimes coaches can take away the sparkle of it. -Being 5'1" and wearing a bigger s...

Black Bean burritos

We have really been on a mexican food kick lately. We have mexican at least twice a week, and the only downside is that Cayleigh isn't a huge fan, though she will eat quesadillas and now randomly has a new love for salsa. Lord, don't ask her to eat a chicken fajita, the world may end. Tonight's dinner was Black Bean burritos. I used this recipe as a base for my burritos, but did change it up a bit. Here is what I used, I will put in bold the changes I made: 2 (10 inch) flour tortillas (I used 4) 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (I only used 1/2, and used mostly pam) 1 small onion, chopped (I used a purple onion) 1/2 red bell pepper, chopped 1 teaspoon minced garlic 1 (15 ounce) can black beans, rinsed and drained 1 teaspoon minced jalapeno peppers (I used fresh) 3 ounces cream cheese (I used half a block) 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro I added a half a piece of chicken breast-it goes so much farther with beans Also added a handful of cut up fresh cher...

And the verdict is.....

Sinus Infection. I went to the doctor's today after work and he said I had a pretty bad sinus infection. In my experience, it is definitely my worst one of my life. My head hurts, my eyes are super red and irritated from the sneezing and blowing my nose a thousand times a day. Oh and my throat is scratchy and my ears are aching. I hate being sick. I hate going to the doctor's. I hate taking medicine, particularly medicine with no coating on it that are the size of my pinky finger. It is still raining, with no real end in sight. Hmm...anything else I can complain about? I want to keep it all in this post and just get it all out now so I can get over it! Well there was the fact that my doctor prescribed me eye drops and when I went to pick them up, it was $50!!! Forget it, I will suffer. I will take my $7 generic antibiotic and suffer with red, sore eyes. Ok, enough for today. I promise to be brighter when I am feeling better.
