Just sayin...

Ok, so I guess that this is kind of a confession, but also inspired by some other blogs I've read recently. I have nothing against Moms who feel differenlty from me and hope they don't have anything against me!

* I have a full time job and I travel for work. The kiddo has a wonderful group of ladies @ Littlest Lamb that look after him while I work ... I don't feel guilty working & don't want to be a SAHM. (Ok, well I try not to feel guilty!)

* Mason sleeps in our bed...not because it's a parenting technique, but because it's easier!

* My baby was formula fed and I dont' feel guilty. If I had a bio baby I'd probably still feed them formula.

* I used jarred baby food. I barely cook the big people supper ... sure as heck wasn't going to manage blending baby food. They eat 'regular' food with the rest of us now.

* I use disposable diapers. No way am I swishing dirty ones in the potty ... eww.

*I let my child watch tv. He plays outside and read books too, but I will not feel guilty because he watches a Disney movie...


Anywho ... I see nothing wrong with the co-sleeping, SAHM that breast feeds the adopted child and makes her own baby food while washing loads of cloth diapers. And I hope she sees nothing wrong with me either!

Only 3 days to go...


until we touch down in Las Vegas for my birthday weekend!!! I have always wanted to go to Las Vegas - it's been a "bucket list" item for me, I guess you could say. So, for the big 3-0 my Mom, my aunt Betsy, and I are headed West for a long weekend in Sin City!

To be honest, none of us have ever been to Las Vegas, so we really have no idea what it will be like. We don't have plans to speak of, except for dinner at The Melting Pot on Thursday night -- my favorite! Other than that we are really just planning to sight see, shop, and eat our way through the city :) Sounds like a perfect birthday to me!!

So, we leave on Wednesday and will spend the night in Richmond. Our flight leaves bright and early on Thursday morning and we will return, all too quickly, on Sunday evening.

More posts and pictures to come...
