Random Post Monday

Since I can't seem to get my act together enough to blog on a regular basis I have decided I should at least be able to start doing a Random Post each week. I can't even commit to every Monday... the day may change each week... but at least I'll have a goal :)  I really have used this blog to keep track of some of the little milestones Brianna has reached and I'd like to continue to do so! 

• I have a lot of guilt about the lack of pictures I've taken since Brianna's first birthday.  Up through her 52nd week of life I knew that I was going to pull out my camera on Sunday and take some pictures.  Even if she was still in her PJs, even if she was screaming or sick.  Since then I can probably count on one hand how many times I've had my real camera out.  It is sad... and I must get better!  I will wish I had pictures of this time!

• I get REALLY upset when I turn on Q102 in the morning and Jeff and Jenn are not there.  Most of the time they don't even give warning... there is just some annoying fill in!  That is not a good start to my morning.  If I should have to be commuting into work... then they should be working too :)  I love them!

• I have been reading a lot of blogs lately and I'm torn on if this is a good or bad thing for me.  On one hand, it really helps to hear someone else talk about their struggles and joys of life and motherhood.  On the other hand, I feel like I can never measure up to so many of those people.  They are either traveling the world with no strings attached or stay at home moms.  I will never be either of those people... but my life is amazing and I am incredibly thankful.  

• I had some much overdue girl time yesterday with some of my favorite girls.  A long lunch and browsing through Kenwood Mall was a perfect, child-free afternoon!  I enjoyed every moment but was happy to be back with my family last night.  

• Some of Brianna's words 16 months old (to help me remember, feel free to skip this one!):  truck, car, mama, dada, papaw, mamaw, great granny (gaganny), spoon, please (five thousand times a day and always does the sign when she says it), up, bye bye, hi, k (okay), go, no, yes (es), two, three, elmo, minnie, baby, booboo, nana (both banana and her name "briNANA"), apple, coke (which is still what she calls her milk), bite, more (still signs), juice, watermelon (wamelon), spaghetti (ghetti), pretty (petty), night night (nyny), blankie (kiki), bottle (baba) (just at night, don't judge), rockarocka (night time rocking with blankie and baba- mommy's favorite time!) I'm sure there are more and I could sit here all day thinking of more but I won't! 
• Spell-checking that last paragraph looks pretty funny :)  

• I'm having a lot of anxiety about our travel plans to SC that are coming up soon.  I am excited and know we'll have a lot of fun and make some great memories but I'm nervous about how she will handle it.  I just hope it isn't as exhausting as Florida was... will I ever have a true vacation again?  Wouldn't trade it for the world though! 

Okay... ahhh.... I feel better!  Pretty random, huh? I think I'm going to like these random posts.  Until next time... when there are hopefully PICTURES!
