Tiz Update Time Once Again

Lately I've been really homesick. I know that a nice visit back home will be a cure, but I can't afford it. Even if I convinced Mark and Mom to let me and the baby go alone to show her off and what not, it's still at least $500 for a round trip ticket. I am sad. Anywho, here is some more lists.

Things that I've gotten more of since Zoey started sleeping in her room:

• Sleep
• Sex
• Cuddles
• Space (No bassinet)
• Worried...afraid of SIDS.....

What I wanted to do on Mother's Day Vs. What I actually did:

• Go to the Park/Stayed Home
• Have nice uninterrupted dinner at Shari's/Got spit up on at Shari's
• Make Love/Slept

Things that Zoey has accomplished (somewhat) since my last update:

• She stares at a toy and goes after it
• Sometimes she hits said toy
• She has giggled (somewhat) once, in her sleep
• She smiles because she is happy, not because she let a big steamer loose in her diaper
• She has found more heart wrenching ways to cry
• It seems like she realizes when she is going to get what she wants (bottle/diaper) she stops crying and has an "expectant" look on her face

Things that have changed with her:

• Strictly bottle fed
• Switching to ALL cloth diapers
• Going up in a size of clothes

Things that I wish I could do but can't because I don't have a babysitter:

• Have a night just for me and Mark at home
• Go see a movie
• Go visit a bar/club
• Amusement Park (Do they even have those out here???)

Things I want to do as a family when Zoey is old enough:

• Disney World
• Carnivals
• Circuses
• Trips to the Beach

Current Goals:

• Eat Better
• Start Working Out
• Lose Weight
• Start & Finish College
• Mark Gets A Job
• Eventually get a better car
• Start paying own bills

That's just about it for now. I am home sick and I want to go home. I know its better for Zoey here so at least for now I want to stay here, but a visit would be nice.
