Blah. I just wanted to say that. :)
The "out of sight, out of mind" person has been frustrating me to no end. She will send me a stupid facebook photo comment, but won't return my calls or my direct communication. I'm starting to think that it's not worth it, which is too bad, because I didn't think she'd be so difficult to have a friendship with. I'll see what happens on my bday- if it's nothing, then I'm done.
In other news, my Grace Adler has made a gigantic purchase- a house!!! I'm so excited for her!! And, I've seen it online, it's really cute. I'm envisioning their furniture and things in the house. :) Can't wait to see it all done up with their stuff!
LB now has molars. He cut them earlier this month, and that was a terror. I think they still give him a little bit of pain, because he hasn't been sleeping well lately. But he's walking so much, although he still crawls, just because it's faster, haha. I can't wait for Hubby to see him again! I sent him an SD card with pictures and videos, so hopefully he'll get it soon.
I'm planning on getting together next month with some friends from high school that just had babies. We're all going to be in NH at the same time! One of them has a girl, one has a boy, and the pictures of them both are soooo cute! Can't wait to see them in person!
That's all for now. Just living my life one day at a time... get up, feed baby, change baby, play with baby, put baby down for nap, feed baby, play with baby, feed baby dinner, put baby to bed. And repeat. :)

Oh the drama
Whatever had been bugging me is back. Damn. I thought I'd be able to put it behind me, but oh well. I'll just have to keep it in check and make sure it doesn't get any worse.
In other news, I'm finding myself involved in chick drama. I don't really know how that happens. I think it's because I try to be nice to everyone, unless they give me a reason to be a bitch. There's something in particular that is bothering me. It seems like once you have kids, people expect you to do family-oriented things all the time. So not true. I'd love to make plans, get a sitter, and do something sans LB (like the Boyz II Men concert). But it feels like I'm expected to play this role of stay-at-home-mommy, don't-have-any-more-fun person.
I just feel a little dismissed by a particular person. It's a little annoying to see the kid-less ladies doing their thing and knowing that the only reason I'm not invited is because I have kids. Motherhood has definitely changed me- I have a huge responsibility now. But that doesn't change my interests or my personality. Frustrating.
It's also frustrating to be involved with people that are so different. I feel like sometimes I'm caught in the middle and both sides want my opinion, but I'd rather just shut up and not get caught up in the drama. I guess my motto is "can't we all just get along??... unless you're a mega-bitch??" Wish more people lived by that.
In particular, I wish another person lived by that. I know it's really easy to live "out of sight, out of mind", but I'm not like that, and it's a little insulting to be on the receiving end. I know that it's hard to keep up friendships over the miles, but it's not that hard. A call every once in awhile would be nice. And c'mon, facebook is probably the easiest way to keep in touch with people- just a quick comment would suffice. I know I rant about the excess of communication these days, but that makes it all the more baffling why someone isn't able to just say "thinking of you" or something. If we were really close friends like I thought we were, then it wouldn't be this hard.
Ugh. This is why I'm extremely picky about my girl friends. I just don't like the drama. Life's hard enough as it is without adding on cattiness.

Feeling better
The things that have been bothering me lately have passed, thank god. It still sucks to not be able to talk to Hubby about any of this, but at least it's resolved. And now I can put this past week and half behind me.
LB has been so great. He's such an easy-going kid (he has his moments, but most of the time he's wonderful). He's walking much more now- he'll even walk to a toy, pick it up (without falling over), then walk with it! I feel so proud. :) It's funny to see him learn things, like when he studies my mouth as I talk. So cute. I feel really lucky to have a kid that seems to love to learn.
Overall, this deployment has been okay. Unfortunately, we haven't been able to communicate as much as I'd like, but I like to think about what Hubby does on a day-to-day basis and what he does on his down time. And when I really miss him, I check out real estate in NH, imagining what it will be like when we actually start house hunting and settling down.
