Ok, I have been trying for a while to start a new blog...I need something that is more friendly for those who don't have momaroo and can leave comments no matter where their blog is located.

So here is my new blog: http://drewdeniparker.blogspot.com/

I will probably be deleting my momaroo in the next couple of days, so make sure you remember this site so you can read me anytime you want!

Thanks

First of all, thank you all so much for keeping Parker in your thoughts and prayers. He already is sounding a bit better...oh what saline, humidifiers and water can do for congestion. It's going to be a long few days, but he is sleeping comfortably on daddy right now and his cough is a little less severe. No, we aren't completely out of the woods, but we are headed towards the exit for sure! Just keep on praying. Oh and we are postponing Indiana until two weeks from tomorrow. We were going to go to NY that weekend, but since Drew's parents have seen parker several times, we are heading to Indiana, since not all my family has seen him.

So this is going to be a bit of a random post. I figured I would try to make an actual attempt at something fun or something of that nature. However, right now I am seem to be coming up blank all of a sudden.

First of all, anyone else watch Eli Stone or Pushing Daisies? These are my two newest addictions on tv. Both are very different than other shows. I really liked Eli Stone last night...very sweet show, I enjoyed it. And tonight is Pushing Daisies. It's such a twist on a crime-esque drama. And then of course there is ER - ok so it's not a new additions, but I love it all the same! I am so sad it is ending...but it's been on, what, a million years?

I am so over my cold/laryngitis. I swear if I have to blow my nose one more time...oh wait...I need to...ok better. I don't know where all this junk in my nose is coming from...I think I have a pool of it in my head. I am able to talk almost normally again, but I still sound like a frog.

So my life group is planning a mission opportunity. Sounds like we are going to do a blanket drive and then work with an organization to pass them out for homeless in downtown Columbus. I have to admit, I am normally am not into it, it's way out of my comfort zone, but I have to say, I feel a change in me recently. I think I am learning to step out of the comfort zone and push through my fears. It's already made a difference in several areas. I feel like God is really working in me. I am really looking forward to it. And it also sounds like the meet-up group I am in, young moms of columbus, is planning on working with an organization called Patches of Light this holiday season too.

Well, there I said my piece! Later gators!

Hello there everybody! So sorry that this is the first chance to update really since letting you know I made it to Cincinnati on Friday! I am looking forward to relaxing at home this week and then heading to Indiana on Thursday to see my family! Here is a recap to this weekend...

Friday we left and headed down. Parker slept the entire way...he was such a good boy this weekend! I mean, I was expecting a lot of crying, but no, barely any actually. Just normal baby fussiness! Lindsey was sweet enough to let us stay with her and she also watched him for me during both rehearsal and the ceremony. The rehearsal went as most do...short and too the point and we then headed to Bucca Di Beppos for dinner. OH MY WORD...where has this place been all my life??? if you have never been, I command you to go :) It was so much fun. Sarah gave my birthday present and she got me Sex in the City, the movie...I was a happy camper!

Saturday was wedding day and it was FAR from smooth...got there and had my make up done by Mary Kay...for those who don't know me, I hate make up...I hate it with a burning passion! Seriously...I hate the application, I hate it...she asked me if I could do eye liner....I looked at here and said, um, where does it go? Mascara, blush, foundation...yah, I know how to do it...then came lips...."here's the lip liner"....my response: "ummmmm..." yup, thats how often I wear make up. Hair was super easy..just left it down and curly! Then the bride loses her shoes...I run to her apartment, in my dress in slippers and look for it in her car, nope not there...not in the apartment...(we later found out she left them in the hotel room on top of the ironing board holder.) She freaks out, but we find shoes. I get back about 10 minutes into pictures, which she was upset about. I think the shoe incident just started her on a downward spiral and she just acted so blah during the wedding. Reception was fun, I thought, great food. I think I was just glad it was over because her attitude was just so sad and I was emotional and sore and exhausted. I went back and hung out with Lindsey and then we ate dinner with her family and I went to bed (at 10).

This morning I got up and headed to my friend, Brandee's house. She was my roommate in college and I haven't seen her since before Parker was born, so she and her husband and our friend Hillary (M.O.B!!!!) went to Brandee's and had lunch and hung out. Then Parker and I headed home....it went fast, but it was super annoying, below is why...

Dearest "Speed Racer Person"

I am so sorry that my speed today was not near fastest enough for you. I didn't realize that going 10 over the speed limit was too slow?! Apparently 80 is the new 65? But no one seemed to tell me this. The fact that I was even going 75 bothers me, I generally care to be in the 5 over range as I feel that is acceptable, but you felt the need to TALE GATE ME as I drove. I don't know, maybe I am not in a hurry...were you? I didn't see anyone giving birth in your car, and I am pretty sure there was no fire, so explain to me the reason for your speed today? Is everything too slow for you? And is there anything wrong with wanting to be careful and not drive fast with such beautiful precious cargo in the back of my car? Well...I hope some day you can slow down and realize what you are missing with your speed demon ways! And next time you see me on the road, I ask you to just pass me and not tale gate, especially when you didn't even need to!

Love,
Me

Yup, I think you get it don't you? I mean, I just don't get why everyone needs to fly down the road ways. I was going 75 to keep up with traffic, and I never go that fast. The fact that some one tale gated me as I went that speed bothers me. I mean, I just don't get the need to speed, drive erratically...it just makes me sad!

I am glad to be home. I am ready to catch up on sleep and enjoy tv and get over this nasty cold I have seemed to develop!

Welp....I am going to eat! Later my friends!
