Busy...Busy...Busy Bee

Jake is with Nana and Grandpa E today. They called and wanted to spend the day with Jake today since MIL will start school next week, and since they've been away on their cruise, they haven't seen much of Jake lately. He was still asleep when I left the house, no matter how much I was moving him and kissing him all over. My sleepy head...just like his Mama.

The cutest thing yesterday - on our way to day care, Jake was in the carseat just looking outside the window, making little noises whenever he saw trucks driving by. Before we left, I had him hold his prayer picture book to keep him busy on the drive to Fremont. I was listening to the radio when all of a sudden, I heard him mumbling. I turned around to see him pretending to read his book, complete with sound :). It was the cutest thing in the world. Check it out!

- Working with Susie Coehlo on objectives. Drives me NUTS!!! The lady may be a celebrity designer but she can't spell jack sh*t.
- Unbelievable!! Carly Patterson winning the Gold for Gymnastics.
- STILL loving the Men's relay the other night with Phelps & Co. winning the Gold. He is HOT!!!
- Some issues with what I've been reading on posts....but I will just keep it to myself. In my heart, I have done the best for Jake and that's all that matters to me. If I had the luxury of a nanny - sure why not? But I don't so as a Mom, I can only do what I can. Ahh.. don't mind me. Just irked, that's all. Ahh...!
- Joint Spaghetti cooking with the Big Guy. He does all the work - I just add flavor to the sauce :).
- Telling the Big Guy why I thought yesterday was going to be a bad day...turns out I had another reason why my day wasn't going right. It's an inside joke between me and the hubs.

There are so many things I need to do:
- Finish up the darn laundry. I love doing laundry up to the point of folding the clothes. I am so anal about folding clothes that now, the Big Guy doesn't even know how to fold his own clothes :). It's the keeping of the clothes that I have an issue with. Nuts.
- I want to do some ironing. I have so many clothes that I haven't worn only because I haven't ironed in a while. No - actually, let me rephrase that. I don't know how to iron. The other night, while watching the Olympics, the Big Guy was sitting on the couch watching me iron my pants. He was thinking "Ok.. I see the logic behind what she's doing" whenI started ironing the legs sideways. But then when it got to the top by the waist, I was so baffled I didn't know how to continue. I got so frustrated and let out a big sigh and by the time I looked at him, he was looking at me with the same baffled look (as if "what are you planning on doing now?" kinda look). I even seriously thought of just picking another pants to wear the next day. Big Guy to the rescue - he finished the ironing :).
- Organize. I want so bad to organize my whole house. I have ideas of putting containers and bins and stuff everywhere, but I don't have the time (or the money) to go about it now. So I guess this I should put on the back-burner until I can do something to make this come to fruition.
- Hair. I need a trim/color/highlights BADLY. I'm just lazy to go. I get my hair done all the way to Alameda so just to get their is the pits. I don't want to go home at 10:30 at night anymore (although a sidetrip to Sushi House won't hurt). If you need to get your hair done though, Kinuko's is a great place. Hiromi does my hair (and her husband Yoshi does E's) but Kinoku brags about her "Japanese mineral water" which she handcarries with her every time she goes to Japan and supposedly the water gets rid of dry hair - it works though. Also, she uses sake for facials. Kinda cool.
- Lose weight. 'Nuff said.

This weekend C moves so the Big Guy and I would be babysitting the girls Friday night. What to do with a house-full of kids? We shall see. In the meantime, this is what happens when the girls come by and I need them to sit still :).

E is inviting us to go to the city for the Indo fair this Saturday. We'll see. The food should be soooooo good!!!! If we do end up going, I'll make sure to take tons of pictures.

Enough said everyone - gotta go back to my meetings....
Half day comp shopping with E tomorrow should be tons of fun!!!
