Holy Smokes...I'm Still Alive

So yes, I'm still alive...well at least I think I am. It's been awhile since my last post but in my defense a lot has happened. Well only one thing has happened...I had a baby. That in itself is enough to turn one person's world upside down. As much as you prepare it is an event in your life that no amount of preparation will be enough. I'm so thankful that I had the support of my wonderful husband, my family and my amazing friends. I think I managed to hit every emotion possible these past 5 weeks. I have been so happy that I cried and I have cried and well...I couldn't tell you even why. I have been so tired that I couldn't even sleep and I have also drank enough redbull to keep me going for days. On a side note, I highly recommend the redbull to any new mothers and fathers out there. Even my husband drinks it and this is the same man who won't touch a soda. I think when you hit the wall of tired, everyone will get desperate enough to go over to the dark side of caffeine. Hey, I happen to love the stuff and if I could get them to sponsor me for the duration of my child's life...well, I would be happen to promote their drink in anyway they wanted. Legal crack I like to call it, thank the lord that Costco sells it in bulk! Thank you Costco! My brain is still all over the place so this post really doesn't have a complete direction. I do know in the past 5 weeks I have seen and heard so many things that I have wanted to post about and now that I have a few moments here and there...I plan to dazzle you with all that life seems to be throwing at me now. I promise to not post only about my diva daughter...yes, she has already started to show us her personality...god help us but I'll be home for another 2 months so until I go back to work she might just be the subject of several posts. I do promise to get out of my house and venture out to see what the rest of the world is doing just so I can have other things to talk about. I will not become a cave person and lose perspective on life...at least I will try. I mean why leave the house...I have a great TV, Internet, a blackberry and redbull...what else is really out there? Just kidding...I do need a tan, some much needed exercise and I'm pretty sure I need to make sure my debit card still works. I even think I still have the same gas in my car from 5 weeks ago...not sure if that's good or bad! So stand by and see what happens...life has changed for me and that is putting it kindly. I now belong to a new elite group of ladies that like to call themselves..."Mom"...I still can't believe you don't have to fill out an application or pass a test to get this new title. Lord, all I ask is that you give me guidance to make the best decision and the courage to tell my daughter one day, "No way Colton, you go back in your room and change that outfit...this is not Halloween!" Ha, I laugh now but yes, I will be one of those mothers and if for some reason I forget how to be I will just send her to her buelo and buelas house...he'll be sure to straighten her out!
