I dunno what to say!

Ok I'm just not good at keeping up with a blog. I keep seeing it when I log on but am too lazy to sit here and try to figure out what to write.

Let's see... Jessi came down on Saturday with Jaina and stayed for 2 nights. She went home on Monday and left Jaina here so she could spend time with Greg. I went to Conway to take Jaina home on Tuesday. Let me just say that there is a reason I have no children yet. I love Jaina with all my heart and I don't really remember life without her. BUT... she is a lot of work.

Her poor little mouth hurts because she's teething, and she cries very loudly because of it. I would feed her, change her, try to rock her, and all of that stuff you do when you can't figure out what's wrong. And after all of that .... she would still be crying. So then I gave her teething tablets and gas drops because I didn't know which it was. And she still cried, so about 10 minutes later I gave her tylenol drops. And after that she stopped crying. But by that point I was about to start crying with her because she had been crying for so long, so we got ready and went to see her Meme at school for a couple of hours.

Those kids at school just LOVED to see her. One of the kids said "I have a Mady like that!" because he has a baby sister named Mady. It was so sweet!! Two of them just couldn't contain themselves because they wanted to hold her so bad, so Mama had them sit on the couch and they both held her for a minute or two. After that they were happy.

Then I went to Conway to take her home and got to stay with her all day Wednesday. She was a happy baby that day. We watched Sesame Street and Mr. Roger's Neighborhood, played with her toy monkey and visited her mommy at the bank. Then she had to go to the doctor for 4 month checkup and to get shots. That was the worst I had ever seen her cry and I almost cried myself just feeling her pain. I felt so sorry for her! I love that child so much! I can't imagine having my own!!!

So much for not having anything to talk about.......


I also want to add that my mother is a very smart, wonderful person. I don't give her enough credit for it. My latest discovery if this involved natural peanut butter. There is a reason she would not buy everything I asked her to buy as a child. I always wanted to try natural peanut butter, but she always said it would be gross so she would never buy it. So as an adult now I try to explore new foods that she didn't buy. I've discovered some new stuff I like, such as Lunchables and coctail weenies, but the natural peanut butter is still not so hot. I started to stir the oil in and it involved me having to scrape all the stuff into a bowl just to be able to stir it. Then it still doesn't get all hardened up enough to stay on a sandwich.... it it just really doesn't taste that good. So... wonder what else I can discover later.
