There are never enough hours in a day

Seems like I never get anything done these days.
My house-is a disaster-dirty dishes
clean clothes in piles (I'm trying to sort out Zander's clothes and put the 0-3month clothes away to store)
Pictures in a pile to put in a photo album.
Address' that I need to find for my wedding stuff.And trying to get everything ready for a wedding is next to impossible with a baby and when Micah is working outta town!
We brought Micah into the ER Sunday night. He had chest pain-pain in his left shoulder and shortness of breath. Hmmmm....sounds like a heart attack....NOPE.....after a bunch of tests-we found out he pulled a muscle above his heart. He still went to work this week because he's stubborn. The doc said that when that muscle pulled that there are the same symptoms as a mild heart attack!
Freaky! So-I still haven't caught up from my sleep from that.
I feel like I need a break!
Just to get away and do something for me-for just one stinkin hour!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nothing for the wedding-not for an appointment-just to do something I want-I'd even settle for an hour to just sleep in the middle of the day!
lol
like thats ever goona happen.
I just wish Micah would find a job closer to home. I feel like a single parent and I am getting tired. Don't get me wrong-I LOVE ZANDER but it gets old being the one who does everything minus 6 or 7 diaper changes in the last week!
Gotta go-do wedding stuff and head to my friends' daughter's 1st birthday party

Mommy hood


Micah bring Zander on his 1st 4-wheeler ride (Left)
The picture of Zander and I is from mothers day




So here's some new pictures of Zander! I figured it was about time I updated this. I don't get much of a chance to go on the computer these days, just when I'm at my moms and I'm not doing anything else. Zander is keeping me very busy! I enjoyed my first mothers day. That was kinda cool. I spent the day with Zander and Micah. We celebrated it at my parents house the day before for my mom along with celebrating my dad's 51st birthday! -We always end up with a busy fishing opener.

I've been trying to work on wedding planning and I'm feeling overwhelmed. Seems like so much to do, and so little time. With Micah working outta town every week it makes it hard for me to get much done. I haven't gone back to work but for now I think Zander is a job. A good one though. Like a 24 hour a day job.lol
I'm glad summer is getting closer-because that means I can bring Zander outside more.
Wednesday my mom and I took Zander to Duluth to find her a dress for my wedding (planned for July 18th). Then we stopped in Cloquet to bring Zander to see my grandparents. (I haven't uploaded any pictures of that yet)
I'd keep writing but Zander is fussing!
