I just wanted to share with all who read this.  Elizabeth took her first steps tonight.  It was like 7:15, noting here so I'll remember to write it down tomorrow.  I was playing the lets see if she'll fall or stand and pout game when she was trying to go from holding one of my hands to the other.  Normally I get one of the 2 results, today she just kept going to my other hand that I was "accidently" moving farther.  She took like 2 steps all by herself my little girl is getting so big.  So now its just for her to realize she can take off and I'm doomed.  At least she made it to 9 months so I can't complain.  That's all I have to share for now

So yesterday I did this nice little blog about my dd not sleeping and my dh being worthless.  I still didn't get a ton of sleep last night, my normal few hours here and there while up with kiddo for short spurts.  I felt so much better today though, I think I just needed to have the little place to vent about it.  I love this place soooo much.  Everyone here soooo saves my sanity.

I also got to finish my Christmas shopping today.  I had 96% of it done a week or so ago, but kept putting off shopping for dh.  Last week I got the wonderful 30% off card for Kohls and decided that is where I was going to do as much of dh's shopping as possible.  So I hit Kohls and a couple of other stores and got my shopping all finished up.  I even got dd her baby's first Christmas ornament and its a pulltoy duckie with a ribbon out the top that says baby's first Christmas on it.  Finding cute things for babies without bottles on them is difficult.   

So I just need to vent about my slacker do nothing husband where he won't be reading it.  He has done absolutely nothing around the house for over a month now.  I guess I can't say absolutely because he has taken the garbage out when I have it bagged sitting next to the door, but still.  He went hunting for 3 weekends one before Thanksgiving and the two after.  Since he got back from his last trip he's been sick with a cold.  Not just any cold its a hacking, feeling crappy, throw your back out, whiney, can't do anything, totally worthless cold and he isn't eating hardly anything and is super whiney.  The only thing wrong with him is a cough in reality and he's a guy.  What's with guys and them catching a cold and its the end of the world, he calls it a cold.  If its that bad for this long its not a cold and you should call the doctor, we actually know her so she won't have you come in for nothing and we have insurance so its not way expensive.  So Elizabeth has decided that she doesn't like to sleep and that she doesn't want to be away from me for more than oh 20 seconds so that makes life easier when I have 3 kids all day and get to come home to wash dishes and cook supper and DH has sat/layed around all day and watched TV.  Hopefully DD will sleep tonight cause I have to go and do all of my shopping for DH tomorrow before 10:30 am to go watch kiddos at 11:00.  Have I mentioned that DH is so whiney about how he isn't sleeping good and he's so tired.  My butt gets up on an average night 4 times with DD to get her back to sleep and she's 7 1/2 months old and has slept through the night once.  The other night she pretty much decided she didn't need to sleep so I was up with her for 1 1/2 hrs before I decided to just let her play to wear herself out, which took 45 minutes then a little bit for me to get her to sleep again.  The next day DH was commenting alot about how he was awake when DD was up, he heard her playing.  I kept commenting about the 1 1/2 she was up before that, although that was nothing I guess because he wasn't awake.  No wonder he isn't getting any.  I so just need some sleep and I just needed to do a little vent to make me feel better and get it off my chest that I want my husband to get off his ass and do something.  Every time I am to the point of saying something to him he just starts acting more pathetic.  I was going to today but DD and I got home at 6 and DH went to bed at 7:15 because he was just so tired.  Men suck.  I do love my dh and he does do stuff most the time and he typically at least tries although not always successfull.  I'm off to bed now in hope that dd sleeps for another 3 hrs to help save my sanity
