Food! That's right, Eddie had his first taste of baby food tonight....he loved it! The little oinker...He chowed down a lot more then I thought he would! After a few times of not knowing what to do with his spoon, he figured it out and sucked that stuff down. We started with oatmeal, so he'll get that for awhile. :)
It is so hot in here I think I might just keel over. The kitchen is clean, the house is "picked up" and now I think I need a nice cold shower. :)

Excited...nervous!
I am very excited about starting school in a month, but the closer it gets the more nervous I am! I keep telling myself there's no need to be nervous, I'll do fine, but I don't think I've convinced myself yet...
There's not a whole lot new here. Eddie is doing wonderfully, rolling over ALL the time now! He rolls over and then fusses because he doesn't want to be on his back, silly boy. He's napping at the moment, which is the only reason I am getting to write this. :)
I signed up with Myfitnesspal.com today, hopefully it will help me lose a few pounds (or 50!). I know I will feel so much better not carrying around any extra weight. I have burned 85 calories today walking to my in-laws and back. Normally I would have gone much farther than that, but I was going up there so they could see Eddie for awhile, so I walked instead of taking the car. I will go for a longer walk either this evening or in the morning.
This is going to be short and sweet, Eddie woke up! :)

Hot, hot, hot!!
Did I mention it's hot? I love summer time, but when it gets this hot I have to ask myself why. I stay miserable most of the day and complain all the time, you would think I would decide I like cooler weather better...
Even though it has been on the warm side this week, I have managed to stay pretty productive, something I hadn't been in some time. When I know there's no deadline for anything I tend to put it off for another day, I decided it was time to stop that. :) I've done some deep cleaning on the house this week, as well as outside. Our front porch was beginning to look like the junk yard, so I cleaned it off. The flower beds have been de-weeded, and some were even de-flowered! It looks better.
I changed the bedding in Eddie's crib this morning, it made the whole room look different! I have all kinds of ideas to rearrange his room, now to just find the time (and get my sweet husbands help, hint hint ;) ). Eddie's most recent find is his thumb, which he is adorable sucking on! He is taking toys when you offer them to him and has started picking them up off the floor himself. I can't believe he's 3 1/2 months old! I'm lovin' every minute of it!
Clarence came home from work tonight with a window fan, yay! It has been extremely hot in here this week (in the mid to upper 80s), so we need all the help we can get.
I am getting more excited about school, and a little nervous to boot. It's a challenge I'm looking forward to, though. Just a few more weeks and we will be able to go get our books, and then just a few more and it will be starting! Hard to believe it's already the middle of July...
Supper dishes are done, baby is sleeping, time for mommy to take a cold shower!

I am really slacking on this blogging! I apologize to all of my loyal readers out there (ha! :P).
There's not a whole lot new, nothing too good anyway. My car is currently at the doctors office having surgery done. My mechanicly inclined husband did some much needed tune-ups on it Monday and discovered the radiator was leaking. So he has tried putting two different radiators in it and both of those have leaked too! I guess we will be buying a new one this weekend...
I did two loads of clothes yesterday that I had planned using another car we have here (one Clarence will start driving to work, he just got tags for it yesterday) to take them to the laundromat, but then it wouldn't crank either! *sigh*
I plan on going to get my hair cut today, I'm excited! I love having long hair but unfortunately I have very bad split-ends, so after a few months of it being long I have to go cut it off again. I have tried fixing this problem but nothing has worked so far. I think I'll go down to Great Clips, I haven't been there in years!
Yesterday I decided to drop one of my classes (Editing and Proofreading). I decided it was going to be too stressful having 4 classes from home and 2 on campus, so I knocked it down to 3 at home and 2 on campus. That may not seem like a lot, but I know it will allow me to spend more time on the more complicated subjects. Editing and Proofreading I will be able to take during the summer.
Little Eddie is doing great, growing like a weed! He's asleep on our bed right now, where I should be, but I just couldn't get comfortable! He has started rolling over some, only in his crib. He also found his thumb last week (talk about cute!), and is chuckling off and on...I love it! He has started sleeping a little better at night, with the exception of last night. He even went for a whopping 9 hours a few nights ago! I, on the other hand, still woke up every 2 to check on him. :)
I see it is rapidly getting light outside, so I think I'll go shower and maybe when Eddie wakes up we'll take a walk before it gets hot!
