Looking for Me?

Jump to Comments

I was uber busy at work today; not doing actual work though. I was in two long ass meetings (though entertaining) that equalled half my work day. I honestly love days like this! And, when I wasn’t in a meeting I was working on refund requests which requires a lot of research and math (especially percentages).

Otherwise, all is well.

Oh! I’ve forgotten to mention!!  Amelia’s two upper teeth are in. She has four teeth coming in at the same time! Surprisingly, she’s not all that cranky or drooly.

Tonight I showed Greg something that freaked him out; Amelia will walk with a walker and walk down the hall or until she hits something. Amelia is going to be running around the place in a matter or weeks (probably). Greg said something along the lines of “She’s no longer going to be a baby…” and I told him “We could start working on number two…” and he laughed at me. Greg and I are planning on having more children but later - like when Amelia is in school.

I found my list of things I was looking forward to and goals that I wrote back on April 16; here it is:

Things I am looking forward to (in no particular order):

1. Amelia’s laugh (now I hear it everyday)
2. My first Mother’s Day (hope Greg remembers) (He did)
3. Greg and I moving in together and being a real, whole, family (I’m loving every day we’re together)
4. Greg’s first Father’s Day (awesome day seeing the O’s play)
5. First Orioles game where we, Greg, Amelia, and I, attend as a family (which we did on Father’s Day)
6. Amelia’s first crawl (Amelia was just under 8 mos old when she started crawling)
7. Amelia’s first words (DaDa, Dad, Bye, Uh-oh)
8. Amelia’s first taste of ‘real’ food (including jar food) (And she loves everything including pickels)
9. No longer being a temp and receive a perminate job (accomplished in May)

Goals for the remainder of 2007 (also in no particular order):

1. Buy a laptop (hoping to get one as a Christmas gift)
2. Find a place to live (check)
3. Get all major repairs to my car done (tune-up, brakes, alignment, etc) (Did better - got a new car!)
4. Have a thousand dollars in a savings account (only item I haven’t completed. This will probably be a goal for 200
5. Buy a new car (but, this is more like a goal for 200 (did this in June!)

Goals for 5 years:

1. Compelte my Degree (only 2 classes to go)
2. Work in the medical setting
3. Have a place to call my own (either house, townhouse, or condo)

When I made that list, Amelia was 3 months old. In the time frame of 7 months, I have been able to achieve a lot of these goals and see many firsts. Wow, it’s only been 7 months since I wrote this list! The time has flown by so quickly but in a good way.
