Really?

I know I've been blogging mostly about Jameston the last 8 months, but I thought I'd change it up a bit and tell you about two tedious (and somewhat comical) aspects of my life, one of which is related to our little boy :-)

So, every weekday morning (except Wednesdays when I am off), I have to pack and load up the following bags:

Diaper bag, work bag, lunch, purse, and pump...REALLY.

AND, several months ago, this loot also included JW's carrier, with him (tipping the scales at 20 pounds then) in it of course! Now that he's in his convertible car seat, I must load up this lovely array of goodies all the while trying to keep him preoccupied. Let's just say, I think my blood pressure tends to go up a little in the mornings! So, now you know why they call me "bag lady" at work, a nickname I am honored to have :-) No wonder I had to start seeing a chiropractor several weeks ago!

Another fun event that goes on in the Winters' household is the sweeping up of dog hair. We sweep every two to three days, and each time, we get this:

REALLY...Oh the joys of having two (very large and shedding) indoor dogs! 

And you know what this lucky gal received for her birthday in April? A new vacuum! Yes, the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser...yippee! And let me leave my user review right here on my very own blog. I LOVE IT! Isn't it great what household items can make us so happy (and how we want them sometimes for birthday/anniversary gifts)?

I know this post may not be like the ones I typically include, but I had to let you in on some (not-so-cool) secrets of mine :-) Don't you worry, there will be more posts about Jameston very soon!
