Quick Updates

So almost a month has passed since I last wrote. Sadly, not much has happened! I guess in a way that's a good thing, we have no bad news to report. Christmas came and went and was pretty lame...It's hard having a baby during the holidays. I was too tired and busy to care that Christmas was even coming. We didn't decorate at all, I didn't get any shopping done, and we didn't go anywhere to see our family. It just didn't feel like Christmas. I hope next year I can enjoy the holidays more. Jason won a cruise at work that goes to Cozumel, Mexico. It is from Feb. 6th to 11th. I don't know too much about it but am excited for a little break. I get a little teary eyed when I think about leaving Chase for a few days but know I will come back energized and refreshed and will be a much better mom. Right now I am exhausted and don't have much time to myself. I am too busy taking care of him, playing with him, napping when I can (that usually lasts about 20 minutes, Chase is a terrible napper) and trying to clean the house and cook dinner. Chase is very high maintenance and I could use a little break. Jason hired 2 different cleaning ladies to ease my burden, but sadly we weren't impressed with either of them. They did a mediocre job and it is not worth the money. The second cleaning lady charged $70 and wasn't even at my house an hour! So I decided no more cleaning lady, I will just have to somehow find the time and reward myself with something nice from the money we're saving. Or maybe I'll get a personal trainer instead to help get rid of this baby weight/grad school weight...
