First Trim and other noteworthy news

My little man got his first trim last week! It was not a full blown haircut, just a trim across the top. If he were a girl you could say we cut his bangs. There were pieces that were so long! I just can't believe he is getting so big. He is sitting up all by himself. We have started him with rice cereal. He hates his bottle but likes cups and sippie cups. He can't be this old already? Where did my tiny little newborn go?

Last week I started baby proofing his room. Since it serves as the office/crafts/storage/baby room, there was a lot to be moved out of his reach. I got most of it done, but am not sure what to do with the bottom shelves of the book shelf. It can't go in any other room, and I don't have any other space for the books on the bottom 2 shelves. hhmmm will have to get creative there I guess.

Mike has started his last full semester at ISU. He commutes 2 days a week and then works 31/2 days and devotes 1/2 day and most of his evenings to homework. He tries to keep weekends open so we can have fun and see each other once in a while. It works for now, but I will be glad when he is done. He has gotten his study guide for the GRE, that is one step further than we were this summer, so hopefully soon he will take the test so he can start applying for Schools.

I am still working full time at Kimberly Nurseries. This is the time of year when things are supposed to be slowing down, but it seems to be getting busier and busier for me. It doesn't help that one of our sales people have quit and I am doing all of the things he did on top of what I am already doing. Lots of things to keep me busy I guess!

Because I am working full time and coming home to a baby now, I am finding it very hard to keep my house organized. When I come home the last thing I want to do is clean house, I want to spend time with my little man! I am very frustrated because I can't seem to find the time to get the house cleaned the laundry done and the clutter is driving me nuts! I try to get one room done a night, but not even that is working, especially lately since little man has been teething, and has allergies, and is just uncomfortable, its hard to get things done. If any of you readers have any advice for me please help! My mom comes in and watches little man 2 days a week and if it wasn't for her picking up the living room and the kitchen, I don't know what I would do. She is definitely my life saver! I need help!
