Meh

I got to give my lovely baby niece her first bath the other day, and while the pictures of that aren't loaded yet, I thought I would share this one because I love it so much. 

In other news, my sister in law (the Indiana ones) & family have been in town, so we have been spending quality (and not so quality) time with them.  This included a visit to Natural Bridge Caverns, where it was supposed to be 20 degrees cooler inside the cavern.  ::pause::  Yeah, not so much.  We were soaked in sweat.  Gross, gross, gross!  We add onto the fun of that with the fact that Alex was not doing very well with that heat and humidity and proceeded to vomit inside the cavern.  Yes, the cavern that they tell you not to touch anything because you will kill thousands of years worth of rock formations.  Good times, good times.

After 18 hours of helacious labor, awful pain, and tearing really badly....my niece gave us the most beautiful child........

Say hello to Arazely Faith.  Born To Be Spoiled, indeed.

She weighed 9 lbs 1.3 oz.  and was 21 inches long.

Well.....maybe some people do, but you should at least have the decency to be ashamed of yourself!!!

What am I talking about?

Oh.....okay....so y'all know how the pants/shorts/jeans that are out there sit lower on the hip, right?  This works okay for me, 'cause I got me some child-bearin' hips....... but then comes the problem that when you bend over......unless you happen to be wearing a long shirt......everybody and their mother sees your underwear (or....whatever.)

Because nobody wants to see plumber crack!!

Alot of y'all know about Ryan's ex-boyfriend drama.  You know.....that guy we renamed 'Jackass'.

Well.

We thought he was finally gone.

But this past week, he's been texting her and calling her.  Of course she doesn't answer.....and his texts have been very obnoxious...(and really bipolar....'how are you baby?' and 10 minutes later 'whats going on, slut?')...so she doesn't reply to those either, but....... did you know T-Mobile doesn't have a text block option?  Ugh..... IDIOTS!

Anyway, Ryan does not feel comfortable about it, but you know?  What to do.  The boy's parents give a rats' ass about him, so talking to the parents is pointless (and actually, I don't think I want to because...erm.....I think his parents might be.....unkind to him).......

My baby has a J-O-B.

and.........she loves it.  She's working at the same mall
I worked at when I was her age.  She comes out the same exit I used to.  She eats on her break at the same food court that I used to.  (Jesse worked at the same mall, but he worked at Sears, so...you know....different exit...)

My blossoming beauty...    

In other news, there have been parties and visits and blah blah blah....and I am tired.  BUT.....not too tired to be on call for my niece who will be having her baby ANY DAY NOW!  AURGH....I am so excited, I can barely contain myself.

Here's Ryan's new baby.  Sparky.  He's adorable.  He only eats vegetables and plants.  He has to have a heat lamp.  He doesn't like his daily baths.

Gee....it's like he's a real kid.

She loves him to bits.

(He's an Eastern Hermann Tortoise for anybody wondering)

I occasionally babysit when she is out.  Hee.......

It's totally normal for children to emulate loved adults in their lives, right?

.........but the caboose is seriously lagging.

I'm still alive, but life gets busy sometimes.

I've had a ridiculous amount of graduations to attend....

.......parties to plan, parties to attend.....

.........nieces and nephews to entertain.....

.........insane amounts of food to cook.........

........and more recently, a dog whom we suspect has bone cancer.

(let's add my discontentment at my weight into the mix, shall we?  Why not...)

I've said it before.....and I'll say it again.  Meh.
