milk, again

a week after i wrote that last post i cut dairy from my diet, in all forms.  that was a very unfortunant turn of events, initiated by my son's possible symptoms of a sensitivity to dairy in my diet.  we are in a three week testing period now to see if that's the case.  but in any case, i want to add rice milk to the list of very poor substitutes for real, whole milk in tea.  today i will try almond milk, but i don't have any great expectations. 

*edit* the almond milk was gross in my tea, don't ever try it.

tea is not the same with creamer. 

without milk, it's just not that great.

it's gonna rain and we're gonna miss it

i heard on the radio today that it's supposed to rain starting Thursday evening and continuing through the weekend.  they said it'll be the heaviest rainfall since Feb. 2005.  i tried to remember which rainfall was Feb. 2005.  then i realized what a funny thing it was, trying to remember a specific rainfall that happened 3 years ago.  never did that in Washington...

a million years

as i look at my profile picture it seems like it was a million years ago.  i think it was one year ago.  a year in which my dreams came true and turned out to not be like i thought.  i'm still really thankful though.  one thing i want to learn is to not wish away the present and always be living for the next thing.  i'd forseen pregnancy through "rose colored glasses", but almost the whole 9 months were uncomfortable and somewhat painful.  i'd romanticized having a little baby, and now with a 1 month old bundle i'm sleep deprived and unable to keep up with the most basic of my homemaking responsibilities.  but i don't want to always be looking for the next phase.  i just wanted to be pregnant.  i just wanted the baby to come out.  i just want him to sleep through the night so i can too, and be able to function properly throughout the day.  sleep when the baby sleeps?  right.  and never do dishes, cook for my husband, take a shower, do the laundry, tidy up the house...  am i supposed to go grocery shopping, attend church, or see friends also?  well, maybe when he starts sleeping through the night.  meanwhile i need to seek God.  depend on Him for strength and endurance. 

today has been a hard day.  i got stressed out.  baby isn't doing what he's supposed to when he's supposed to.  i haven't been disciplined to keep his days  properly scheduled.  i think i have to discipline myself to get up and feed him at the right times in the mornings even though it'll mean less sleep for a couple of days (hopefully only a couple) so we can both get on a healthy schedule.
