  I know. Shut up. I slacked. I have not been on since March 15th. This is by far the longest I have gone without blogging. I feel like mourning or something. Haha…
  
  LIFE
  Dude I’ve been tired. So very tired. Like I need mid-day naps kinda tired. Like Calgon take me away kinda tired. Like pregnant tired. I’m 10 weeks bitches. 32 more to go!
  
  A few weeks ago a friend’s husband had a heart attack and went into cardiac arrest. His heart stopped. They revived him and he’s ok but it’s like SHIT! He’s only 32. I think it’s just a wakeup call when you hear things like this happening to people you know. Life is so precious and so very short. People take their health and diet for granted. Me included. I just finished a 5″ apple pie in 2 sittings. Ok not by myself. I let my husband take 2 bites. I share. It’s so easy to get into that mentalilty where you think “it’s not gonna happen to me” and you keep living the life that you’ve been living with no changes. I thank God for my family. You don’t realize how important family is till you have one of your own. In a way I do think it’s good that this friend had a heart attack because I think he’s now going to make the life changes that he needs to to live a healthier life. I prayed for you guys I hope you know!
  
  WORK
  I started my new job at LG. I rike a rot. It’s a lot different from when I worked at Amex but nothing beats my commute. I can pick up Zoe in 15 minutes! It’s like magic yo! I feel like I can just wave my middle finger…er i mean my magic wand and then POOF I’m there. Plus I get 45% employee discount! It’s a shame really because I don’t really need anything except for a dish washing machine. And my boss. I really, really like him. One because he doesn’t seem to be a bullshitter. Two because he’s a family man. He’s been out of town since last friday and he’s leaving for an overseas business trip directly from his other trip so during his layover he called to check up on me. I asked him how he was doing and he said he missed his family and as soon as he said that I just thought “I like this man.” When his wife calls he drops what he’s doing if he can that is and takes her call. Like I LOVE THAT. Your job is important and you can always get another one but you’re family is irreplaceable and you’re nothing without your family. He gets that and I respect him so much more because of it. He makes her a priority.
  
  STALKER
  So let’s talk about Zoe, my lil punk daughter. She is officially in her terrible two’s. She’s like SOOO bratty now. *sigh* And she is ALLLLLLL about mommy. Like she and I will be cuddling in bed saturday morning and then her dad will hear us talking so he’ll scoot on over to her other side to spoon her and all of a sudden puts up her hand to stop him and starts saying “um exCOOOSE ME. EXCOOSE ME ahpah. Don’t touch.” So then he’ll push her in the shoulder while he turns his back to her and I hear him mutter “jerk” and Zoe retorts back “Don’t push me! Don’t push me!” while putting her hand to her shoulder as if she’s been seriously wounded. *rolling my eyes*  And it’s like every time he tries to help me all I can hear in the background is Zoe’s whiney voice….
  
  “No Umma change diaper! Umma do it!”
  “No Umma brush teeth! Umma do it!”
  “No Umma pick me up! Umma do it!”
  
  All I hear is WHINEWHINEWHINEWHINEWHINEWHINEWHINEWHINE. The whining has got to stop. It’s killing me.
  
  I’ll say ”Zoe ahpah’s sad. Give him a big hug!” She goes “I give umma a beeg hug. Hug hug hug.” Somewhere in the background I hear the words “jerk” muttered once again. Hahaha… And it’s always “mommy pick me up! mommy pick me up! mommy pick me up!” S.O. A.N.N.O.Y.I.N.G. Now don’t get me wrong. She’s still really sweet. She was sick last week and one night she woke up at 3am, crawled over to me and put her head next to mine so that our noses are only about an inch apart from each other. We’re just lying in the dark staring at each other’s face and then she started coughing on mine so I turned away and she grabbed my face and turned it towards hers and says “look. look at me umma”  and then she starts petting my face really softly and she says “Niiiiice, niiiice. I like umma’s face.” I said “Aww. Thank you. I like your dirty hands that you picked your nose with on my face.” Then she starts coughing on my beautiful nice face so I turn away and she grabs it again and goes “look at me umma.” I said “if you want me to look at you then stop coughing in my face bossy.” She totally disregards what I say and  goes “Nose kiss” and then rubs her nose with mine. She was just so cute and so yummy. Hahaha.
  
  She’s also really girly. In the mornings after I’m done tying up her hair she always says “I sooo pritty.” coughcoughconceitedcoughcough. I always respond back, “You aite.”
  
  Last saturday we went to Parisenne cafe in Fort Lee, NJ to grab some breakfast. Her favorite, favorite pop song is Single Ladies by Beyonce and when she wants you to play it she’ll say “Play Uh oh oh.” Well while her father was holding a table for us Zoe and I were picking out our baked goodies and the damn song came on inside the bakery. I turned around to see how she was reacting to it and she froze in the middle of the floor, looked up at me smiling, and said “all rah single lady, uh oh oh” and started doing some toddler tribal booty bopping dance.  Oh and can I say I found my prego sandwich fix this day. It’s their egg salad with ham and cheese on toasted white bread. Effin A man that shit was good. I got two. I’m a fatty. I have thought about that sandwich every day this week since.

  So for the past 3 weeks she has cried every day that I have dropped her off at daycare. It’s funny cause when we’re a block away she’ll say “I see Zoe’s school!” And I’ll say “Me too! What’s your school’s name?” She goes “mutard seed!” On tuesday I took her out of her carseat and I said “Zoe are we gonna have a great day today?!” She goes “YEAH!” And then she started talking to herself while shaking her index finger as if to scold herself and kept saying “I no crying. I no crying.” Then she ran in and gave her teachers a hug. I was so proud. Even yesterday, no tears. She jumped on her teacher’s lap so they could eat breakfast together.

  The talking is non stop. She talks SO MUCH. It’s like SHUT UP ALREADY! Hahaha… Around her birthday Cousins Josie and Ellis came down to stay with us from MA. One morning Zoe woke up and was playing with Josie. Ellis this morning was VERY intrigued by Zoe and kept following her everywhere!! Like E.V.E.R.Y.W.H.E.R.E. and like super close to her too. All we heard all morning was Zoe’s voice directed at Ellis. “EHCOOSE ME! NO TOUCH! I DON”T LIKE. EHCOOSE ME. Go away.” At one point I even heard her whip out her Jafar (from Alladin) line to him and I knew she was frustrated when she did this because she never used this line on anyone except to just quote Jafar if I asked her. She turned to him and said “Don’t toy with me!” I knew girl meant business. Hahaha… The longest sentence I ever heard her say was last week. We came home to find a box on our console table. I was just thinking outloud and said “I wonder what this is?” while I slipped off my shoes. Zoe answers back “It’s a present.” I said “Oh yeah? You think so?” She goes “I think it’s a present for Zoe.” SEVEN WORDS! Sure they’re not 3 syllables each but it’s still seven effin words. I was so proud. Hahaha… Only a mother would react to these things in this manner. Hahaha….
  
  Man. I really missed this. Blogging. In the words of Ursula the seawitch “My dear, sweet child. That’s what I do. It’s what I live for. To help unfortunate merfolk, like yourself. Poor souls with no one else to turn to.” Ok I guess you should leave out the merfolk part because then it just wouldn’t make sense. But I really do miss this.

  So I’ll leave you with one photo. The week I found out I got the job at LG was the same week I found out I was prego. Since the hubs and I had that dinner date I told him with a photo. One was a photo of the LG Logo and the other one was this…
  
  (Yes, yes I made her wash her hands since I peed on the stick. Calm down.)
  
  That was a great date just because of all the good news I had to share.

  Man you have no idea but I REALLY missed blogging. It’s seriously one my guilty pleasures besides taking photos.
  Oh also quick shoutout to blog readers Franny + Jenny who I met at Mitsua!!! It was really nice meeting you guys. And thank you for finding me so amusing because my family doesn’t.
