Ramblings from the CRAZED Chicken!!!!

Another day, another dollar, another day away from Chicken Little, another day away from my PLACE at home. But yet another day that the Lord has made, I WILL rejoice and be GLAD in it...no matter how difficult it is.
I have found that the past couple of days have just been UGH!!!! I don't know what it is, I just feel UGH!!!
I'm still having some post-pregnancy "annoyances" that are driving me batty!!! I can't seem to get an answer that I 'like'. Guess it's just one of those things I'll have to deal with and get over....
I miss being home with Chicken Little. She had shots yesterday. She was 11lbs 13oz and 24in long!!!! She's growing so much. I miss getting to see her as much every day. She did so well with her shots, but felt a little "puny" yesterday. I took the remainder of the day to stay home with her. I'm so glad I stayed home with her. I held her most of the day (so sue me for spoiling...LOL). She was just pitiful. Usually if she's awake, she's moving around trying to get a look at everything. Yesterday she was just so somber. Papa rooster even felt bad for her.
I think being at home with her on her puniest day, made me miss her so much more. I know mimi will take good care of her, but mommy should be the one who's there to make her feel better. How I wish things could be different......
It just seems every night is a mad house. Rush to pick her up, get home, settle her down, cook supper, eat, try to clean up a bit, laundry, bathe baby, put baby down for night, spend time with Papa Rooster, bed time, wake up early, make myself "presentable" for work, take her to mimi's, off to work, and the cycle begins again. There simply aren't enough hours in the day to accomplish all I would like. I would like to be able to spend more time with the baby and my husband. Saturdays and Sundays seem to fly by. With the two of us working all week, Saturday is the day we try to take care of things around the home, so there goes a bit of time together. Or if we're not taking care of things around the house, some type of errand has to be run, or we're with other family. Now don't get me wrong, I love enjoying time with other family and friends, but it's just unreal how days turn into mere hours. For instance, Saturday, I anxiously awaiting the arrival of some very dear people for supper, and once they arrived, our time with them seemed as if it had been only minutes. Then everyone is back in their whirlwind of a life.
My mother and father-in-law talk of a time when everything was much slower. Neighbors sat on each others' porches and rocked the day away. Oh, to live in a time such as that. Now we don't "have time" to sit and talk with dear friends. There is always one engagement taking place right after to other. No slowing down. So much must be done. It's a rat race and no one is winning.
My worst fear is waking up one morning and my child is grown. I'm afraid I won't know where the time went. She'll be moving out before I know it, and once again, it will be just me and Papa Rooster. Thinking of that, I don't know what I ever did before the baby. What filled my time? And what in the world filled my heart so? You know, this is the day that the Lord has made, I am rejoicing and am so glad, for he has blessed me in so many ways!!!!!!!!!!

Closing on NOT SUCH AN UGH! DAY AFTER ALL!!!!
