Random thoughts on Friday

Some random thoughts.  I love these types of posts, and it's easier for me to lay it all out there!

1.  TGIF.  I love every moment of my weekends, and getting to spend my days with my sweet, adorable little Aaden.  Before baby I always loved the weekends and hated Mondays, but that has gone to a whole new level.  I seriously DREAD Mondays, and i always feel like the week ahead will be SO long.   Yes, here we are, Friday again and the week went pretty fast.

My puppy and baby - he's already eyeing her up as a fun toy. :-)





This picture just makes me want to cover those cute little cheeks in kisses!


2.  Since the weeks always seem to go fast than I expect, the months are flying by too!  How is my little peanut 5 months old already?!

3. This weekend I have to attend my new SIL's bridal shower.  Most of the family doesn't know that they eloped two weeks ago.  I don't feel I should have to lie to everyone, and I feel pretty uncomfortable going knowing this.  Should be an interesting day.

4. I get to see a long-lost BFF at the shower though!  My gal pal, Heidi had a little boy 10 months ago, and we've sort of drifted apart in the last year and half.  Kids, work, life, etc has gotten in the way of spending time together.  We've been texting this week and we are excited to hang out.  Even more so - i'm excited for our little boys to grow up together and be buddy's. 

5. Tax time. Ugh.  I'm a CPA, and I used to work in public accounting.  When i switched to private I got the (dumb) idea to do taxes on the side from home.  I don't know what I was thinking. I have a bunch of individuals that I do taxes for now, and the extra $ really doesn't amount to much in comparison to my time.  My time is worth so much more now!  My weekend will be spent filing our return, my grandparents and another client's.

6.  Grandparents - I think the Gma and Gpa will be paying us a visit this weekend or next.  I am super stoked!  Ever since Aaden arrived, I've enjoyed watching my grandma love on him.  It's fun to see her talk to him and play with him the way I remember her talking to my sister, cousins and I.  I can't wait to see them and have them spend time with Aaden.

7. Audit - I'm in charge of running the audit for our company.  It's T-minus 3 weeks away and I'm dreading the 3 weeks of prep leading into it, the actual two weeks that our auditors are here and all the follow up afterwards.  I think a few Strongbow's will be consumed come mid-March.

8.  Nursing - I've been LOVING the Breastfeeding Diaries - thanks to 'the girl in the red shoes'  It's so nice to see how others are making this work.  I am torn on how long I want to keep this up - (note the audit above).  Some days I want to go as long as I can, and other days I think I'd be okay with the extra sleep and time (not having to pump).  Other Moms - how/when did you decide to stop?

9. I love my hubby so much!  He's been an awesome stay at home Dad the last few months.  I can't imagine what life will be like when he goes back to work.  Balancing laundry, dishes, grocery shopping, etc.  So thankful for him, and for his patience with Aaden and myself.

Happy Friday everyone!
