My Much Anticipated Return

Many of you are wondering, no new post since March 18th? Almost a month?!? Here's Kim and Kaitlyn who can do 2 or 3 posts a day, I and don't do one for a month? Well, here is what I have been up to.
Since my last post, we were nearing our "Go-live" at work. That means, PeopleSoft will now be live and people will actually be using it. We did go-live on March 27th. I worked about 13 hours of over-time for those two weeks. It was crazy. Poor James. Luckily, I was able to work all my overtime hours at home. I told my boss, that I would not work more than my 40 hours away from home, so they approved me to work at home. Things went rather well for the beginning, but I am now working (diligently, even tho I am posting at work!) to the next phases of the project. Fun times!
Work has been crazy busy and I haven't had much time to do anything else. You see, I usually update my blog and look at others while at work. I don't like to do it after work, because I want to spend the time with my little James. I don't want him to feel like he has to compete with the computer, so I never touch the thing after work. (Unless I am ordering Papa Johns or Cafe Rio online. I love the internet!) So, to all you who were expecting a comment on their blogs, I can now do so, for a few minutes a day. It's nice to not be so busy that I can use work time for personal time! (Bad me, I do justify it, however, by saying it is my break!)
I got the flu last week. Crazy, nasty flu. I woke up Monday morning with a gurgling tummy, by the time I got out of the shower, I felt like death warmed over. I got back in bed and didn't get out except to run to the toilet. Aho would bring James to me and we would nurse in bed, I was even too weak to hold him. It was nasty. It took me all week to get over it. The good thing is, I lost about 5 pounds with it!
Friday, I started feeling nasty again, thinking I was getting a cold, Kim tells me it could be allergies, well, lucky me, it is. I have never felt allergy season before. Why now? It stinks. I have no energy, my nose and head are always stuffy, and I want to lay down all day. But alas, I cannot, so I just trudge through it.
Saturday Aho and I finally got out to go run some errands (and spend some much needed time together) that we needed to. The highlights: we got a high chair and feeding stuff for James and we decided to change our bathroom. So, I spent the rest of Saturday (while I was locked up at home while Aho had the car at work) cleaning and updating my bathroom. You see, James now wants to sleep all the time. What's up with that. So, while he did that on Saturday, I cleaned our apartment, especially the bathroom. James is now taking baths in the big boy bathtub, because he is too big for the infant one, and I had to clean that good. Aho was afraid he would get a skin fungus, since I have cleaned it in months (how embarrasing to admit!) But, it looks good now, I will have to post pics of my new bathroom.
Finally, we started James on rice cereal Sunday. He loved it. He couldn't get enough. We have pics of that too, so I will post those when I get them downloaded.
So, basically, I have been up to nothing. My life is boring. James is growing so much, that I like to spend all my spare time with him so I don't miss anything. (He is rolling over now, and I did happen to be there for the first time. I saw it twice before Aho did, he was jealous!)
Oh, we did buy our ticket to Tonga. I am excited, but can you say, chhaching! It was super expensive. Thank you Pres Bush for the stimulus package. Even tho it will put the country more in debt, it helped me pay for the astronomically expensive airline tickets!
I am glad it is nicer weather outside and James and I can start going on our runs again. I am going to run the Susan G Komen cure for cancer 5k with Sheila (my sis). So, I am trying to get ready for that. Doing good so far. I am glad James likes the stroller. It makes it much easier.
Ok, this has gone on way too long, and I want a donut (do i put the 5 lbs back on and get one?TBD). Pics later.
