Ok, Blog post re-starting, take 1,456!


 I've been crappy at updating this blog but I figure if I just go ahead and start back up again it will be less intimidating to go ahead and post some quick post here and there, right? There's too much fun adorableness, quirkiness and craziness happening in our life to not keep it documented so that we can look back on and laugh, cry or shake our heads. 

So at this point Joaquin is now 10 months and is he is 27 months! Joaquin is on the brink of walking and took his first steps yesterday. Izzy is changing every day and I can't say enough how much I'm loving this age. Seeing all her development in physical, emotional, mental and vocal are just mind blowing! 

My only challenge at this point is remembering to keep on working on myself and my relationships and not just obsess over these two little people that are all-consuming at this point in life. 

Ok here are a bunch of my current favorite pics. 

My perfect little bathing beauty at the pool this past weekend:
(background: She's been all jittery and scared of the water and getting her face wet for almost a year now and we don't know where it came from but found out that if we really just pay no mind to it and let her go in at her own pace, she owns that water and is so stinkin' proud of herself. I couldn't be prouder of my sweet little fishy. Rules.My.World.)



One Love.





And my wild little baby:

Sweet Lil Cowboy Grins
   
              Dressed to the Nines. 
(I'll need to go find this onesie in the next size up because I love it so much)

  Teething hot mess. 
(Seriously, I've not known a baby to teeth.this.much. It's the f'ing pits and when he finally gets these bad boys in, we're going to instill the best dental hygiene in him because these suckers will be worth their weight in gold!!!)

Mohawk madness 
(I have one too, it's just hidden under my hat)

 With his Tio Danny
                 
Bebe in a bag
(We're trying to find economical ways to participate in Halloween this )

My Peeps
And here's what I see when I try to walk out the door. Can you blame me for not wanting to do it much?

Wow they are changing so fast! I agree whole heatedly with Alex! We are here and will still be here when they absorb less of you! Just be sure not to forget that you started as a couple and will end as a couple so just try and remember the love you have for each other every day at least once! Love you all!

Rules for a Break Up. They're out there, which actually apply?

Image
So, which rules apply to which situations? I mean, all break ups are different, well, most breakups are different. Ok, some break ups are different. There are different circumstances as to why the couple (or one of the involved) would decide to end their relationship. It could be an amicable end of a relationship (wishful thinking usually) or one where there's a lot of finger pointing and animosity brewing under the surface. I personally, go back and forth between wishing him well in his future endeavours and wishing him and his family a cursed existence. It varies from day to day, heck, even minute to minute. Sometimes, I just need to get a meal in me to regulate my blood sugar and I'm instantly more pleasant in talking about this topic. Let me just say (as if you can stop me, right?) that this blog post was a very fun one to research. It's hilarious what anyone can post on the internet and suddenly, they're a 'source'. heh. Ok, so all that being said. There...

Does blogging work like the government holiday schedule?

Image
Ok, I have no place to say but it seems like all bloggers are already on vacation. Is everyone that blogs really a government employee? I gots nothing showing on my Bloglines for the most part ('cept for Gibson, way to set an example... Oh, and Harms, you're not too much of a slacker either but you've been a busy bee, right?) and it's making me feel like maybe I shouldn't be at work either. Maybe we should all checkout and come back after New Years? It'd be ideal, except I don't work for the government and do have to worry that if there's no work, then there's no pay. No pay = Sad/hungry/cold Clussy. Wanted a change, so I cut the head hairs. I actually walked into Hair Cuttery (I know, I'm brave... or poor, whichever you want to go with), pointed to my hair and said "cut please. make it fun. not scurred to lose some length.". At that point, the overzealous Vietnamese lady went to town. I was good w/it at first but then she kept ...

I'll rethink my plans regarding getting bombed at lunch before giving blood then...

The following are excerpts from the give blood website I was checking out today (in hopes of getting info to give blood at lunch) " Donating Blood ONLINE APPOINTMENT Schedule an appointment to donate whole blood. - Why the need to specify whole blood? No half blood, no partial blood. Noted. Do not donate if any of the following apply to you: SEXUAL HISTORY * You have engaged in sex for money or drugs since 1977. - Hmmm, good thing I held off on the Bordello idea... QUESTIONS ABOUT ELIGIBILITY You may need to wait before donating blood if you have any of these conditions: CONDITION Alcohol Consumption No wait unless intoxicated - HA! I love that they felt the need to mention this. Don't come to give blood while drunk. Noted. DONATION PROCESS * Prospective donors first complete a health history questionnaire and screening interview. * The next step involves a brief physical examination of blood pressure, pulse, temperature and a test for anemia. * If the prescribed medical r...
