Macho, Macho, Macho...

Yesterday, little Macho gave me quite a scare. It wasn't his fault, any toddler would be attracted to stairs with no gate to keep them from falling down. It was bright and early yesterday morning. I had just finished giving him his bottles and I usually put the gate up right after he's done. Somehow, I got it in my head that I'd already done it, so I allowed him to walk around freely. Suddenly, I heard something tumble down the stairs and right away, I knew it was him. I ran to Macho as quick as I could and held him for several minutes, making sure to check all his limbs and various other places for any possible broken bones. Thankfully, he was fine. He managed to walk away unscathed except for a small spot next to his eye that got a little puffy. Wanna know the first thing I did this morning? That's right, and I'll never forget to put the gate up again.

Today, Macho did something that made me laugh. Husband came home from work today and I was sitting on the chair in our upstairs living room. He came up to me and proceeded to give me a "hip hug." Macho saw his father hugging his mother and got very upset. He walked right up to his father, pushed him aside, and hugged his mom. Husband tried hugging me again and once again, Macho pushed him away and began hugging me. It just made me laugh 'cause I've seen that sort of thing happen before with pets and their owners. Sorry Husband, if Macho has his way, you'll never be able to hug me again.

Nothing really to say...

I feel like I should write something since I haven't written anything for a long while. I always feel like I need to say something upbeat because that's what blogs are for. They're for "happy people" to talk about their "happy lives." That's probably why I don't say very much, because I never really have anything happy or upbeat to talk about. Like always, all my days bleed together and as usual, it takes all the energy I have to get through a day with the kids.

The one bright spot recently has been that my dad and brother came to visit from FL for a week and it was so fantastic having them here. We had such a great time and I loved seeing them again. They got to know the kids and we got to do a couple of activities here and there, mostly we ate and hung around the house! It was great and I miss them so much already and they've only been gone 3 days.

Having that time with them really made me realize just how much I miss my family. Most of my family, except for my sister, are all on the east coast and so often I find myself thinking, "How can I convince Hubby to move out there?" But I know that can't happen, especially with our daughter. So for now, I'll just have to settle for missing them like crazy and spending a lot of time talking on the phone.
