Not another Manic Monday…

Today Ryan got phased up to phase 2. He has a lot of paperwork and processing to do, in order to move off base. He was pretty disappointed that he didn’t get to come home today. He may not get to come home till Wednesday, but we have our fingers crossed for tommrow. The longer it takes, the more unpacking I will get done.

Today was national spitup day…or at least in Ronan’s world it was. I am not kidding, every time I looked around there was more spitup on his clothes or coming out of his mouth. I must of eaten something yesterday though that made him very gassy today. I kept thinking he needed a diaper change, and it was just him passing gas. He was kinda smelly….but his hair smelled really good. (thanks to the Paul Mitchel baby-dont-cry shampoo). So let me get on my soap box and say that if you are using Johnson and Johnson on your baby’s head and skin…please, please, (for the love of God and all humanity!) stop using it now. Go into your cabinets find all it and throw it away. Or do what I did, and give it away to someone who is going to use it no matter what you say. Then go to your stylist and buy the baby shampoo by Paul Mitchell called Baby-don’t-cry. It has a ph between 4.5 and 5.5 (ph balanced to the natural ph of our hair and skin….don’t be fooled by ph balanced products because that means its a 7 on the ph scale!!! Still too harsh!). J and J producst are up there near a 12 on the ph scale next to head and shoulders. That stuff can take wax off walls. Enough said.

A lot happened today, I didn a lot of errans, driving around, taking care of Ronan. But now I’m just typing away and I can’t really remember much. I just hope Ryan can come home tommrow. If now I will be picking him up and then picking up his brother Eric. Hopefully there will be a place for him to sleep when he gets here.

Time to sign off….


This is the cool lamp i got from Target for only $20. The sale small desk lamps for the same price! It is pretty cool because it has three lighting settings. I put our warm red light bulb in teh orange one. So the setting with the orange and green lamps makes a warm sebdued lighting. The white and blue ones in the back make a nice bright light. All together it equals out to a very cool lighting effect! Posted by Picasa

Our First Sunday in Monterey

Our first sunday in Monterey and we did not make it to church with daddy. Ronan was really upset last night and kept waking me up to eat. I don’t know how many times we were up in the middle of the night, but I woke up with a very bad headache from hearing him scream. I finally got him to go to sleep at 1130 and we slept till 1415…I felt much better afterwards! We went to base and hung out with Ryan. We shared some chocolate milk and ate a couple of oatmeal creme pies! yum yum! Hopefully tommrow Ryan will get to come home with us! We cannot wait!
