HAPPY BIRTHDAY GOAT! (Yes, it was the 9th, buth we're STILL celebrating!) We took Winter to Jeff City yesterday. Whee. The car trip down wasn't bad, she slept until we were almost there, then needed a diaper change. So it wasn't bad. The ride BACK however... *shudder* Maybe if it WEREN'T at 2-5am.... but it was. So not only was I falling asleep the whole time, forcing us to stop at every exit, but she was grumpy. I think meeting all that family in JC scared her. She got passed around SO MUCH, and SO MANY pictures of her were taken... ugh. I feel like such a bad mom. I can't even tell people that "HEY! You're upsetting my child you moron! THAT'S why she's getting fussy!"... BUT, she did really well. And I have nothing against Goat's family... they just scare ME as well... I guess they're nice enough. *sigh* I feel bad that I can't really seem to get to know my fiance's family... but then again, I barely know my own family. THEY kinda scare me too. Yeah, they might be realated to me, but I barely ever saw them when I was growing up, so they're still pretty strange to me. As in "stranger", not weird. Though... a few could be considered weird. *lol* They're the ones I like the most. Anyway... I've never been good at getting to know people. Thats really all there is to say. Winter has been starting to get fussy. I'm pretty worried about that. I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the fact that I've had to start supplementing formula... Or it could be that she's just starting to be more alert. She's actually staying awake when she isn't needing to be fed. *sigh* I dunno... She was such an easy baby before... I don't really know how to deal with her being fussy. I'm not relly complaining, I know I was lucky... but EEK! I mean... gah! When you're used to things being relatively easy... when it changes, you don't really know how to react. And I HATE not knowing how to make my baby stop crying.... it KILLS me... I don't know how other parents do it......... Blah! Anyway... Goat's birthday (the actual day) was good, I think. He was a little upset about some things... but I think it got better. And he did finally get the present he wanted (World of Warcraft). :) Though... now I'm never gonna get to use my computer again... *lol* But I'm glad he's happy. I think I'm sick... as in ill, you jerks! :þ I'm coughing a lot and I feel like ass... my stomach hurts... and I'm just exhausted. Bleh... Hmm... "What am I thinking?" She came over. It was nice to see her. I wish she'd come over more... I also wish she'd TRY gaming. I really think she'd like it. I'll try improv.... and dancing... and maybe something else if she would try it with us. Just once, one game... *shrug* I want to paint and write... I've started playing with photo editer. Its fun! I need more material... or more ideas, I dunno. :) More patience would help too! *lol* Ah, well... I found and read ****'s Xanga... (I'm editing who's because they don't want ppl to know who they are) It was weird. I didn't know they thought like that still. I want to talk to them... but I don't think my advice would be that welcome. Blah... Oh well.. I think this makes up for the couple days of no writing. :) I'll let you go now.
