I am getting ready to be a single parent all of next week. I am not really looking forward to it. DH is going on his annual fishing trip with his best friend. He leaves on Saturday and doens't come home until the following Saturday. This is still a sore spot in our marriage b/c while I think it is great that he has been doing this for years, I find it kind of annoying that he takes the whole week off from his family , and then in November takes at least 4-5 days to go hunting. I have NEVER been on a week long vacation by myself, and probably never will b/c who would watch izzy.....but whatever, it is what it is. I can't feel too bad for myself b/c DH's friend has two kids so his wife will have 2 kids solo for a week....
Izzy has become quite the daddy's girl the last few weeks so I know she is really going to miss him. She loves when he gets home from work and first thing she says after "DADDY'S HOME!!!!" she says "Daddy, play, daddy play cars!" I think she will be ok for the first few days but after that she is really going to miss him.
I will get one night to myself though my mil is going to watch her a week from friday for the day/night and i am going to my best friend from college house to celebrate her birthday so that will be fun. I am sure also if i ask my mom will take Izzy one night if i need a break. I know i will be fine and Izzy is much easier than she was as an infant to handle solo...but i still kinda dread it...is that pathetic? I don' tknow how single parents do it all the time!! I guess when you have no choice you just do it but I can only imagine how hard it is.
I think the part that bothers me most is thinking about what a relaxing fun time he is having while I am stuck at home working and taking care of Izzy......

Friday's random thoughts
It is friday and it seems often times on friday i do my random ramblings so here goes.
I am super pumped for this weather for the weekend, it is supposed to be upper 70's and sunny!!!! SOOO excited!! I love that it is so much more enjoyable to be home with Izzy when we can play outside, makes the day goes by so much easier/faster. I am totally done with winter!
This morning I had just gotten dressed for work and Izzy comes running in my room and says with a big smile on her face "Good Morning Mommy!", it just doesn't get much better than that!!!!!
I used some of my shopping money again yesterday and am very happy to report that I got some great deals and even better, I bought another pair of size 4 pants!!! It is crazy!! I still don' tthink of myself as a size 4, and even though I am more consistantly a size 6, i can't believe that either. I honestly have not worn that size since high school! I have worn my new work clothes this week to work and have been shocked at the number of clients/coworkers commenting on how great I look! I didn't realize how baggy my old clothes had gotten until I wore pants that actually fit...apparently it looks much better and lots of people have noticed!
I did a first yesterday, I left Izzy with my neice by herself for about a half hour while i went to the grocery store. My neice Jessie is 11 and will be 12 this summer, I enrolled her in a babysitting class a few weeks ago which she completed and is even CPR certified now (which is more than i can so for myself) So she babysat with her mom on Saturday night and her mom let her do just about everything, so DH and I talked about it and decided I shoudl let her try babysitting on her own for a short period of time while I was near by. She did GREAT yesterday! Izzy loves her and they had a great time together...and i got to return the bags and bags of nasty can returns without the "help" of a toddler. I am so proud of Jessie! Now i guess i have to start paying her.....
I am happily back with a cell phone and feel much better. I was even pleasantly suprised that it is actually a really nice phone (which they are still selling and can't be that old) and it is in really good condition. All thanks to my younger brother! When I took it to the verizon store i was sure to have them wipe out all his pictures/contacts because g-d only knows what I would find in his phone since he is a swinging 29 yr old bachelor who knows how to have a good time!!!

One more day
Well hopefully I should have a phone tomorrow. My brother is giving me his old one, and since my mom happend to be down in Florida visiting him, she is bringing it home with her tomorrow and I should be able to get it activated tomorrow.. It is probably about 2 years old and it should hold me over until November when I can get a better one at a reasonable price. What a nightmare, i certainly learned my lesson that is for sure!!!!

Weekend full of up's and one down!
Well I had a fanatastic weekend, for the most part....it started with Dh coming home and handing me $500 cash and tell me to go buy myself new clothes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He got a unexpected bonus at work and knows how badly i need new clothes...HOW AWESOME IS THAT!!!! I went shopping on Sunday and will talk more about that in a few....
Well Saturday night we went to the Red Wings play off game with my dad and my coworker (works with me and my dad) it was a BLAST. I love hockey and had never been to a play off game. The atmosphere was amazing, and they won 4-0! So fun.........until while we were walking back to my car and I notice my phone no longer in my purse.......yes it had fallen out in my seat (b/c i had used it a few time during game) and i didnt' double check my seat before leaving. This is a HUGE bummer for me! The lost numbers, the lost pictures and the lost phone! I had only had the phone for a year and a found out yesterday that the way my contract is set up with Verizon I am basically going to have to pay a ridiculous price for a new phone because I wasn't due for an upgrade until november. So basically i am screwed, they don't make the phone i had anymore (which i like, and was expensive) and the cheapest price I could find on something comparable was $180 with a $50 rebate!!!!!!!!!!! I want to cry!! So much for having all this money for clothes shopping! My other option is to take my chances and buy one off e-bay(which i am learily of) and be without a phone until I get it. I checked e-bay and it looks like my same phone is available for $60 or so, but thye they ship it to me and Verizon charges me $10 to activate it...and if by chance it happens to be a phone that was lost/stolen or has a balance on it...they won't activate it. So what to do?? All I know is I feel TOTALLY lost without a cell phone and hate driving knowing if i got in an acident or something happened i didn't have one...and to think just 10-15 years ago most people didn't even have one! So i don't know what to do but I have beaten myself up too much i suppose. I need to suck it up and take my medicine...oh and I did call the arena and no one turned it in....shocking!
On a positive note, I went to the mall yesterday, by myself and did some shopping...something I never do! I felt a little like pretty woman...only much less money to spend. I also felt overwhelmed.... i needed work clothes and some casual clothes and limited money spend. I ended up doing most of my shopping at Ann Taylor Loft and New York & Co and I must say ..everythign i got was on sale with a couple of exceptions and I think I got quite a bit for my $. I didn't spend all my money, I still hav $150 left and desperately need new bras and one would like another pair of work pants or a skirt...I did a TON of trying on.... a ridiculous amount actually ( i was at the mall almost 4 hrs!) but i really didn' tknow what size i was. I am VERY happy to report that all of the pants I bought were a size 6!!!! and one was a 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I honestly cannot remember the last time I have ever been a 6. High school, the early years of high school!!! So that did give me a bright spot in teh shadow of my phone loss.....

Fun with the Polar Bears
The Detroit Zoo has one of the coolest exhibits I have ever seen. It is called the Arctic Circle of Life and it is SOOOOO cool. You go in a tube where the Polar Bears and seals swim all around you. Let me tell you , you will never get so close to a Polar bear in your life. I have been to this exibit a couple of times now but yesterday's experience takes the cake. There were 2 polar bears so active right over our heads, playing with a ball and each other and then one of them decided to sit right on top of the tube right over our head. Their paws are MASSIVE. It was so cool. Of course during our first zoo trip of the year I left my camera at home. I did however get a few pictures with my camera phone. Keep in mind my camera phone has no zoom so this is how close they really were to us!!!


We had a great morning, my friend and I took our girls to the zoo, Lilly who is almost 16 months and Izzy had a great time in the wagon, we packed a picnic lunch and had a blast. It was blue sky and warmer that it has been in a long time. Great Day.
I always tell Izzy on Wednesday's that the next day is a "mommy day" yesterday she was so sweet when we were eating dinner she said "mommy day!!!!" all happy. It melted my heart. I really cannot believe the love I have for this amazing child some days. I am SOOOO blessed.

Easter Weekend!
Well, we had a fantastic holiday weekend that was jam packed with family gatherings. My younger brother was in town and so was my cousin from DC. Friday was the only non crazy day, Saturday we had dinner at my parents for a late passover, Sunday morning we went to church and then had brunch at DH's parents house, which included an easter egg hunt for izzy, then Sunday night we went to my grandparents for more passover food with my brother...I love passover food but i have to say I think I am matzo balled out!!! Izzy did great with all of this running around and was very pleased with all the goodies she recieved from the Easter bunny.
I decided NOT to take her binky away this weekend for 2 reasons. 1, i didn't want to scar her from the Easter bunny (although i think he is kinda creepy myself) and 2, DH asked the dentist on friday if we should be concerned and he said no, if that was what comforts her and she sleeps well than he didn't think that her having the binky at night/nap was going to do her any harm...so we will keep it a bit longer.
It was so fun to see izzy on teh easter egg hunt this year, last year she didn't really get it and needed alot of help but this year she was skipping everywhere..i got some good video but haven't had time to edit it yet.
In our easter basket izzy got some candy, a new "pinky ball", Coloring/sticker books, new duck family for the bath, new hot wheel car, bubbles, and a gardening set. She seemed pretty pleased with it all included the jelly beans and chocolate. In grandma/grandpa's easter egg hunt every egg was filled with fruit snacks so I think i have enough fruit snacks to last several months....they also got her a very cool dora tricyle that she seemed to like even though she can't quite reach the peddles....all in all a very successful holiday!!!!!

Friday's random thoughts
It is friday and I don't have much exciting to say other than a bunch of random things floating around in my head
I am totally starting to lose my resolve for taking Izzy's binky by making her give it to the Easter Bunny, every time i say it to her she gets this AWFUL look on her face and I am terrified I am going to ruin the easter bunny for her....Is it that bad to let the kid keep her binky for a little longer????
We had an absolute blast Wednesday afternoon/night at our little waterpark get away. We went to a cheesy touristy town that is about an hour away, me Iz, my neighbor and her two girls Cara and Emma...these girls LOVE izzy and Izzy loves them. They swam in the pools (izzy used her life jacket for the first time and did pretty well with it. She isn't coordinated enough to know how to keep herself up right for very long so I pretty much still need to hold onto her but she didn't fight wearing it and hopefully she will continue to get it figured out.) The kids also played in teh arcade/indoor playground and then all snuggled up together to watch a dvd and fell asleep together. I will post pictures later...SO cute!!!
My brother is in town this week and I am happy. It has been since the fall since we have seen him and it just melts myself to see him with Iz. She took to him right away yesterday with no hesitation and was bringing him her toys and sitting on his lap. ADORABLE! He is in town til Wednesday so we will be trying to spend as much time as possible with him.
I was lazy this morning and should have gotten up to work out, but as soon as I got a txt from my workout buddy that she wasn't coming, I shut off my alarm and rolled over...........NOT good, i am kicking myself now but at the same time it felt really good to sleep in. I have to go tomorrow though b/c i have only been 2 days this week and one of those was just pilates. I have put on a pound since last week after my final four drinking/eat extravogansa weekend so I need to get back on track. I hate that it is that easy to put the weight back on and wish i could just eat/drink whatever I wanted.....urgh!!
We have a busy weekend of family gatherings this weekend but I am looking forward to it. Tomorrow night we have my families passover dinner, my favorite food of the year and then Sunday we are giogn to church and easter brunch with Dh's family. I can't wait to see Iz in her cute Easter dress i bought. I think my mother in law got her a Dora big wheel tricycle thing for easter so I am sure she is going to freak when she sees it. I am goign today after work to get the stuff for Izzy's easter basket (nothing like waiting till the last minute) I never celebrated easter as a kid so I am kinda excited to fill her basket with lots of goodies!!!!
Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Not Me Monday-a day late

Well I never got a chance to do my not me Monday yesterday since we were without power for most of the daytime thanks to a lovely (sarcastic!!!) spring snow storm that brough us 6-7" of very wet snow yesterday.
Here it is a day late
- I did not go downtown for Final four festivities and proceed to drink like I was 21 again and completely pay for it the next day....I am not getting old so my hangover recovery time is no where near what it used to be
- I did not lay around a good portion of Sunday due to my hangover and feel badly for iz b/c she must have been bored but couldn't seem to help myself...and neither could DH
- I didn't get a much needed haircut/color last week and ended up splurging and also adding highlights which ended up costing me over $130 and felt guilty as soon as I handed over my credit card
- i have not completely fallen off my healthy eating wagon and ate and drank WAY too much over the weekend, including pizza, ice cream, beer,beer,beer,....i am not desperately trying to get back on this week....yesterday didn't work yet, but my gym bag is packed and ready to go today...

Binky help
okay you moms out there that read my blog I need help!!!!
I am trying to figure out how and if I shoudl break izzy of her binky.....i am kinda kicking myself for not doing it when she was more of a "baby" and less logical than she is now. When we went to the peditrician they said to just take it away cold turkey....which is what I had been planning but now that i am getting ready to do it I have cold feet.
Izzy only gets her binky in bed, she never has it outside her crib. There is a part of me that thinks...what is it hurting to let her keep it...but the other part of me that can hear her sucking on the thing so loud over the monitor thinks that it probably isn't good for her teeth..........
So how do I do it? I have been trying a tricky way to ease her into it but she looks at me with a very worried skeptical look when I do it. I have been telling her that she needs to leave her binky's for the easter bunny to give to teh babies and the easter bunny will leave her stickers and candy in return...she is excited about teh candy/stickers but you can tell she is very worried about being without her beloved binkys.....
So do i continue on this path and just take them away (or have her put them away for the easter bunny ) and hope for the best or do I just skip the easter bunny and take them away...
I have also heard mom's say they cut them...do I do that?
I am so not looking forward to the few nights it is going to take for her to get used to her binky free lifestyle.....any tips or past experiences would be VERY appreciated!!!

First Pilates Class and big game Saturday
Well I did my first Pilates reformer class today and I LOVED IT!!!! I used muscles I really didn't know that I had and I am very certain I will be sore tomorrow! It felt great though, you are working the muscles while stretching them at the same time, it is a great feeling! I was worried because I was not starting out in a beginner class that I woudl be lost but I had no trouble following along for the most part. I can see why the rich people/celebreties of the world all use this in their workout routines! I am looking forward to the next 6 or 7 weeks!! Who knows what will happen after that...maybe I will win the lottery? (too bad I don' t play the lottery.....)
On a totally different note, this weekend my MSU Spartans are in teh Final Four in DETROIT! Now I live about 30-40 mile outside downtown detroit and never really go down there to hang out. I don't have tickets to teh game because they are ridiculously expensive..but I really want to go downtown and hang out and feel all the energy of being there. DH is not excited about this plan as he would much rather hang out closer to home (and normally i agree) but this is kinda a once in a lifetime experience and I know I will totally regret it if I don't go. So I told DH that i really wanted to go, he told me that he didn't but if that is what I wanted he would go........so we are going!!! I am totally excited even though I know it is going to be beyond crazy packed everywhere we go adn we will be lucky to find a decent spot to watch the game.
I hope DH isn't a total crab the whole time because he is goign even though he doesn't want to....I think he will be fine once we get there and get settled.
Bring on the weekend!! GO STATE!!!!

Egg hunt at grandma and grandpa's
The big prize at the end of the hunt
