Reality TV?

So, I've never really been one for the reality TV shows. I've never gotten into Survivor, American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, or any of the ridiculous ones where people live together. I think I watched a full season of American Idol while Dave was deployed one year and then I've watched an episode here or there of Survivor and Dancing with the Stars. (I have to admit the best part of American Idol are the auditions).

BUT last year I got hooked! I started watching So You Think You Can Dance. Now this is a reality show I can get into. I can't wait for it to come on again this year. I looked it up and I think it said it starts again in March. Woohoo!!

This year (the last couple of months) I also got hooked on Project Runway and since we now have this wonderful invention of recording TV shows (without having to find a blank tape and learning how to work the VCR) I just click a button and can watch it when it's convenient for me. Like this morning I got to watch the new episode from last night. I don't know why, but I love this show. I can't sew anything more than a button, but it totally enthralls me.

Some days I just want to get rid of our cable. I mean we lived without it for almost four years in Germany~but other days I love it!

As I read back over this blog I think how trivial it is and that I sound like a loony, but it is 6am and I have been up for like an hour and a half. Teehee. Oh well...you get to hear my early morning thoughts.

My morning debate

So, I'm sitting here trying to decide if I should go back to bed or not...Devin woke up around 4:30 to eat, finished around 5:00, then I had to let Maylie out to go potty. By that time it was close to 5:15. My alarm is set for 6:00 (Devin has her four month check up at 7:30). Ugh, I am SO sleepy! Good thing I had the coffee ready to go last night. It made itself at around 3:30 for Dave. Oh well, I've made the decision to stay up. I'm going to waste time sittin here on the computer drinking my coffee until I have to get ready.

I hope Devin decides to take a long nap today 'cuz her mama will be joining her.

Growing so fast

Thanks to our friend Jessica~Devin now has a new toy to help her sit up. She wants to sit up so bad! I have to say she is so darn cute!! Our little girl is growing in leaps and bounds. What a fun age she's at right now. She is such a blessing.

Welcome Home

For those of you who don't know Devin and I just returned home from Texas. We were there for three weeks and the last couple of days that we were there the weather was in the 80's. Phew!! It was the first time Devin has ever been able to wear short sleeves or just hang out in her onesie :) (Poor little winter baby)

Anyways, when we got home our bodies were in for quite a shock. The snow is so deep! In some places it's above my knees. Dave has even sunk in some places up to his waste. It is unbelievable. Here is a picture of our kitchen window...can you see it behind the small little icicle?

Tylenol anyone?

Have you ever known that you were going to have a headache before it happens? Tomorrow is going to be one of those days. Tomorrow is going to be one of the longest days of my life.

Snow

I just thought I'd show you the unbelievable snow we've gotten. It's been snowing for several days now and it just keeps coming. The snow on the car is a little over a days worth. I hope you can get the feel for how deep it is...I tried to get a picture of Maylie standing in a part she hasn't trampled down, but of course she didn't want to cooperate.

On a side note, since we live on base we have rules about shoveling. Hahaha, I'd just like to say "Yah right!" It would take me a very long time to shovel the sidewalk and driveway...not going to happen with a three month old.

Grrrrr

So the one thing that I haven't wanted Devin to do (with extreme passion) she has decided is a nifty thing to do. Apparently it is especially nifty when mommy is driving and can't do much about it. :) Words can not express how this makes me feel...even if it is so darn adorable. See for yourself:

For those of you who don't know~I was an extreme thumb sucker~even into my teen years. It was the hardest thing to quit. I think it could be compared to quitting smoking. I'm surprised to this day that Dave doesn't wake up next to me sucking away. I so don't want that for my daughter.

So today after we took Dave some lunch~he's busily working on school projects with his class~she happily sucked and slurped on her thumb all the way home; I took her out of her carseat, removed her thumb, and told her she was a stinker. This was her reply:

I absolutely can not argue with that face. I'll just have to keep pulling it out for now until more drastic measures are needed.
