Quiet...please

This is what I realized today. I need quiet time everyday. Usually every day I am able to scrape out 20-40 minutes in which I sit and do absolutely nothing. Usually I will put in an episode of whatever tv show I am currently netflixing. Right now I am alternating between seasons of Scrubs and Grey's Anatomy. Anyway, today I didn't get my quiet time. Instead I talked with Jenn. Which of course is a wonderful thing and we didn't even get to talk long enough, but it happened during my quiet time and I was a whole lot more stressed at the end of the day. So, new rule, I will never let anything interrupt my 20 minutes. Never. I won't answer my phone, my door, my email, my facebook. I will simply sit and veg. Sometimes my 20 minutes includes holding a baby like it probably will today since Mikaela is taking a crazy morning nap, but that is it. My quiet time, mine....

OK, So I just had to share just how cute my sweet girl is. She turned 6 months old this week and is a bundle of joy. Her name is just so fitting, Mikaela Joy! We thought about entering this picture into Morton's cutest baby pumpkin whatever contest. However, we missed the deadline. Would she have won? In our opinion yes, in reality no. You see the winner is whoever has the most money in the "can" in front of their picture and this is what was overheard as a mother stood in front of her baby's picture...
"We are skipping next month's car payment to guarantee we win."
...gotta love it!
She is our cutest baby contest winner of all time!


Oh and I should have said...the prize....riding in the parade on a convertible and $75. Woo hoo, definitely not covering the car payment!
