"You learn something new everyday". So true. Here's what I learned today
1. Before you buy a counting book read it. Sitting in B+N I was reading a John Deere counting book (yes John Deere). On the page that stated there were 5 horses there were in fact only 4. Seriously?! Does no one bother checking these things?
2. David' Bridal carries flower girl dresses as small as 12 months! Call me crazy but I just don't see why you'd want a 12 month old flower girl. I could picture it now- a little girl, unsteady on her feet, walking down an aisle, and then falling and crying her little eyes out because she fell. Not pretty.
3. No offense Frank, but Walmart employees suck! Today I asked someone to help me locate a veggie/dip tray. She said, "sure, let me just check a couple of aisles". So I stood there and waited.... and waited... and waited... and she never came back! How rude!
Of course, it wasn't nearly as rude as the employee that told me she hates me for being thin!
And there you have it... the things I've learned today. Enjoy.

One big annoyance
Today I was at the post office mailing out a package. I decided to just buy one of their bubble wrap package thingys since I didn't have anything at home to put my package in.
So, with Ryleigh in one arm, and the package in another I get the counter and ask for a sticker to write the address on. All annoyed the postal worker says, "We don't have stickers like that. Here's a marker to just write on the package"
I know they do have the stickers, I've used them before.
Also, she handed me a huge marker, with a huge tip.... my package was not very big, so I very carefully had to write as tiny as possible, with a squirmy baby in my arms.
As I am writing the lady very rudely asked me to give her my money.... as if it couldn't wait for me to finish writing!
So I start digging out my debit card out of the diaper bag... I eventually realized I would just have to put Ry on the floor. So I set her down, meanwhile spilling half the contents of the diaper bag :-(
I finally found my debit card, and paid, and wrote the address, and got the package sent out, while illiciting about 5 more glares from the cashier lady.
Geez... why can't people give moms with babies in tow a break?!
And as a footnote I would like to add that I used to just keep my debit card in my pockets to make life easier.... but then I would forget to take it out, and would have to search through all my jackets and pants till I found it, or it would get washed in the washer..... so Ryan pretty much forbade me from doing that again..... so now I have to get frustrated trying to find the stupid thing in the stores. Ahhh!

Girly girl vs. Tomboy
As Ryleigh's personality is showing more and more I can't help but wonder if she will grow up to be a girly girl like her momma, or a tomboy like her daddy wants her to be.
On one hand she loves being outside, playing soccer, playing with dogs, and getting into all kinds of mischief. She hates having her hair up all nice and pretty, and getting it brushed.
On the other hand, she hates getting her hands dirty, she loves shoes (well, she loves looking at them, but she does not like having them on her feet!), and she absolutely loves wearing tu-tus.
So the jury's still out, but it's fun to see what type of person she is going to become!

Jealous much?
It is clear to anyone who knows Ryleigh that she loves her dad. All day long she asks for him. She gets very excited when he gets home. She is his little princess. And the love is definitely mutual on both parts.
However, there is one time when she is not a daddy fan. When he's kissing me. :-) Ryleigh gets so jealous! She'll try pushing her way in between us. She cuddles up on me, and does everything she can to get all my attention focused on her.
It's adorable. Plus, it gets Ryan to give me more kisses since she reacts in such a funny way.
Some people ask if it hurts my feelings that she's always asking for daddy, and hardly ever says "mom".... but when I see how jealous she gets, I know she loves me just as much :-)

Poor Hera
My poor cat. I kinda feel bad for her. Her whole life was turned upside down when Ryleigh was born. Now she gets chased around all day long. She also has to jump over all the baby gates just to get anywhere. Although, she likes the dining room a lot since it's fenced off and Ryleigh can't get to her.... unless I open the gate, and let Ryleigh in so I can video tape it, kinda like what I did here...
