Merry Christmas

Holiday's are tough this year after the death of my only sibling, brother Michael. Me, Spencer, & Hayden were able to drive down to Texas for Christmas with the dogs to visit with my parents. Went out to the grave site and explained to Hayden about his Uncle and why he's not here anymore. I expect more questions but for now the simplest answer you could give to a 3 year old.
Visited with other family members for the 10 days that Spencer has off. Headed back to NC tomorrow, day after Christmas. Should be fun.
This year so far I've bought for myself I have given a new haircut and acrylic nails. Which the nails may going soon. I can't remember the last time I had these nails but I know it's been a long time. Most of the stuff that I have a problem with is my phone keys and opening things. I've been giving it time but I'm getting irritated. Lol.
Hayden got from Santa a Vtech Camera and it hold up to 500 pictures. We got that for him so he'd leave mine alone. So he's off taking pictures. I'm probably going to make him his own Facebook just filled with his pictures so that the family can see what a good picture taker he is. Not bad either.

I think Spencer was sorry...

He brought me this last night when he came home. I think he was sorry because he knew I was right the day before.

For the past, oh week, I've been telling him he needs to get a ladder to get on the roof to hang the rest of the lights since I can't reach that high and if I get on the roof I ain't coming down. Well he said he was 100% sure that he could get up there without a ladder. sure.....

Well the night before he was going to get up there and he realized, oh hey, I need a ladder. ***head desk*** So he went next door to borrow one from the neighbor. I knew it wasn't tall enough because these are old people and they don't need to be climbing. Well, it was off a foot or two. ***double head desk*** It irritated me more because we were out that day and before, during and after driving past Lowes & Home Depot I checked with him again.

So right now we have hanging lights in our walkway from the area I could reach, and all these other decor in the yard not lite up because someone couldn't listen to the wife, who knows what the hell she's talking about.

I want to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving since half of us won't be here tomorrow ... aka me :)

Hope everyone has a safe, baby-making, face-stuffing, family gathering, wishing for no drama (from friends and/or family), head in the oven and turkey, beating the Black Friday crowds, no emergency room because the turkey didn't want to be fried... Holiday! (I'm pretty sure there are more stuff that I can describe but can think of any)

While searching the net for a funny Thanksgiving picture I found this:

Roasted Turkey Pringles??

Well we were supposed to have people over tomorrow, but not so much anymore. For some reason we get invited to parties but when it comes to hosting our own party everyone else has plans, etc. Oh well, who needs them any-who, the 3 of us & the dogs can have our own party.

But for some miracle people come over, they have to bring their own food because last minute calls were a week ago when I did grocery shopping.

The Avon business is slowly going. Still not sure if I'll stick with it come the New Year. I mean I still have orders coming in, but actually making it my full/part-time job...a little iffy on it.

Looking back now yesterday was pretty funny, but at that moment I was running around like a headless chicken. I was busy doing my thing and Hayden was watching his shows on T.V. and doing his thing. Well, he stopped doing his thing and went into the kitchen. Note, that our alarm system isn't connected to a phone line yet, but it beeps when you open the doors. Well Hayden had got on top of the laundry basket, since I was doing laundry, and he started pushing buttons on our keypad. First thing I hear is an alarm going off, at first I thought I was the neighbors since this neighborhood all has the same alarm. Then I hear screaming coming from the kitchen, not only did it scare him but he knew he was in trouble.
I spend 25 minutes searching for the code, that is still missing by the way, to shut the alarm off. It finally shut off by itself, but I was running around the house searching all the places where it could be, calling Spencer asking him if he knows it, telling him to call our Real Estate person and see if she still has it. But no luck.
But don't have to worry. Hayden won't be touching it anytime soon. And by the time he should want to touch it, we should have found out what it is, or changed it.

This morning I had to call the Dr's Office and reschedule my appointment since Spencer wouldn't have been able to come get me. So I call, and the nurse asked why I was canceling it. I told her, and before I got off the phone with her she has the nerve to say, "Make sure you get the car next time, so you don't have to cancel".
Mind your own business lady. You don't control my life, you don't know me. Unless you want to give me a car to use, shut your mouth. I wish I had gotten her name, but Hayden was screaming and it was early.

Quick Update

Well, October SUCKED!!!
As you can see from my previous post, my brother died.

And Halloween basically sucked. For some stupid reason the county we are in decided to celebrate Halloween the day before, since Halloween fell on a Sunday and thought that it was sacrilegious. Whatever, they don't even know the true meaning of Halloween then. (Before you start changing the holidays, do your research!) Anyways, Halloween was a bust because this house celebrated it on Sunday, the day that it was supposed to be on. Hayden still had a blast but everyone's light was off, and we have mountains of candy since no kids came. And since some of our friends felt the same way they didn't come over so I had extra punch made.

Yesterday my mom's co-worker/friend died & Spencer's grandmother died.

Can we have happiness & joyful experiences now?!?!

But on another note, besides of all the crap, the Texas visit was nice. We will be returning to Texas in December for Christmas. Driving this time tho. We just don't have the money for another 3 plane tickets. We will also be taking the dogs with us too. Know they will be glad for some travel too!

It's getting colder outside. I think it started getting colder here a couple days before Halloween (Sunday). I'm def. going outside with a long sleeve shirt if not also with a sweater/jacket, also putting those closed toe shoes on too.

He loved the Sting Rays. Got to feed them too

Please note: I am afraid of heights......

Okay so this is going to be my last blog for a while. Unless I make one in Texas. (since I'm not going to be able to pack the laptop)


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was thinking of random airplane songs or puns or jokes whatever, like stuff while traveling, came to my mind this morning.

I posted this on Facebook earlier : "Tooommoorrrrooww Tomorrow I'll See Ya'll Tomoorrooww It's Ooonnllyy A Daaaayyy Aaaawaaayy!!"------from Annie

"I'm leaving, on a jet plane. I don't know when I'll be back again.....''-----Armageddon

*If you step onto a plane and recognize a friend of yours named Jack don't yell out Hi Jack!
*He became a sky diver out of the blue.
*Takeoffs are optional. Landings are mandatory.
*The propeller is just a big fan in the front of the plane to keep the pilot cool. Want proof? Make it stop; then watch the pilot break out into a sweat

My goodness...this day has been hectic. Trying to make sure I have everything before we leave on Thursday. I just know that I'm missing a few things. But that's why I like packing and getting stuff done early before time is up. That way if I am missing anything I can get it quickly (I hope).
Hayden started freaking out earlier because I told him that we weren't leaving today. He is so ready. The last time he was on a plane was like 2 years ago....before he turned 1. (I think)
This time he gets his own seat. I have provided him a coloring book and 2 books with some toys....I even put a movie on the iPod just in case with a BUNCH of songs.
I come prepared. lol
Spencer leaves really early that morning too. So we are trying to figure out if there is going to be a point in sleeping at all, Well for Hayden yes. I'll do my best on trying to get a nap sometime tomorrow to help it out.

Fall is here!

Fall is here! Well it definitely feels like it. For the 2nd time in the past couple days I woke up freezing and having to turn on the heater. The A/C was set at 76 and it was 71. I think it was Saturday we turned the heater on for the 1st time and the smoke alarm went off. We just let it go for a while and see if it would shut off, because in this house the smoke alarm was basically touching the ceiling in our raised living room, and we don't have a ladder yet. (That will come in Dec. when we need to hang Christmas lights)
Me and my friend Amber checked on the temperatures of places that we are going to be visiting soon and we are like hell is freezing over because it's happening over night. I mean we had rain to help it out and everything but we are thinking that it's like that movie, "Day After Tomorrow" I think that's the name. I'm just hoping it won't come to that.

Going to Texas on Thursday. Flying of course. There is NO way I'm driving 20 hours by myself. I mean I'm going to have Hayden but still. Plus if I was driving I would take the dogs with me, since I'm flying I'm boarding them cuz I'm not paying for them to fly. It's would probably cost more.
So happy that my new phone is arriving today. Hopefully soon so I can activate it. Rebecca, the 65lb Chocolate Lab, stepped on it about a month ago, and cracked the screen of it. Since it's a touch screen I couldn't answer it or anything, so I had to go and switch back to my old, battery draining, P.O.S. flip phone. So I'm like dying here waiting for my phone to arrive. I ordered it Friday and it's supposed to be an over-night thing, but since they don't want it delivered on a Saturday and mail doesn't work on Sundays I had to wait. UGH!

I'm a horrible Avon Rep

When I went into being a Representative for Avon...I was just looking into it for money. I wasn't really thinking as for my using much of it. I mean I've only been in it for about 2 months now so I'm still giving it time. I mean...advertising is the main issue, because once I get talking to someone I have no problem, but getting the word out there is the issue. I always hated, still do, having someone coming to my door and soliciting...so I've been leaving them by the door/porch/etc. But as a family of 3, and only 1 car, it's hard to get out there...ya know?

Guess maybe I should've gone with Pampered Chef...since I like cooking. Maybe I can do both....I dunno...I'm going to stick with Avon for a little while longer and if nothing I'll switch to something else. It should pick up since I'm going through the airport(s) next week so "BROCHURES AHOY!!"

Hahaha! Anywho...hopefully while I'm in Texas I can get my transcripts from my High School & College so I can sign up and take classes this next semester....of course I'm going to need my car fixed before then, and also get Hayden set up for daycare...and all that wonderful fun stuff.

OMG! Yesterday was sooo traumatic for me...went into the kitchen & the roach from the garage decided to come into the kitchen and go belly up for me. Worst part was that it wasn't dead. When I went to "TRY" to take care of it, I scooted the dust pan towards it and it started to kick it's legs. At that point I start screaming & freaking out. Next I grab the can of Raid from the garage and drown it, I think I used half the can. I waited 30 minutes before I went back in there with the vacuum hose and sucked it up. I was still freaking out because when I sucked it up I felt it hit the sides of the hose where my hand was.

Now the reason why I'm so freaking scared of these damn f'ers is because 5-6 years ago I was at my friend Christie's house. She had this tree that hung over the driveway (it was like 10pm-11pm ), I was holding a flashlight for her aunt so she could see inside the car since the light went out and I soon then felt something on my head. Yup, your right, a roach! I start freaking out I drop the flashlight and started screaming, then more of them start to fall.
At this point I am freaking the "F" out and I'm running down the street screaming without a shirt. About 10-15 minutes later, cops show up, and I had to apologize for freaking out like that. The cop gave me a warning and drove off. I soon then got in my car and drove off myself freaking the fuck out.
Never been the same since. LOL

So Christie and me now have our own site. It is called Tutu's, Tote's & More. I originally had this site created for my crafts, but recently Christie has started making Tutu's & Bows, etc so I figured that we should combine our creative selves and our minds together and make a site. Now, my part of the creative-ness won't be available until I get back from Texas but Christie's is still good to go. I know not a good way to start a site, but it was kinda out of the blue.

I can't remember if I told you if I was going to Texas yet or not. (I'm not going back and searching right now) But anyways, me and Hayden are going to Texas in Oct. Spencer won't be joining us, :( , because he's going to be doing some training for the Army. (sorry can't tell you where, or when) BUT, we are still going to have fun. Going to the Texas Renaissance Festival too. I think I have been EVERY year except for the year Hayden was born. Too close to the due date, etc. Wasn't going to chance it. But anywho, I can't wait. Hayden will be old enough this year to do more stuff and understand it.

Okay so I started some new stuff. I have obviously had a Youtube channel/ account. Well I have decided to make it/turn it into a VLOG. What's a vlog? Well, that's basically like putting your life on Youtube. Like for example, this is a blog, your reading it, your reading what's going on in my life....but if I turn it into a Vlog, it is a video blog. Get it??...good!
I got this idea from another Youtube blogger that I'm actually subscribed to called ShayTards, I know weird name but sooo funny. Anyways he's been on Youtube for like 2-3 years. Possibly 2 going to 3, but anyways. I don't want to really copy him or anything, but I'm going to start off that way. I already have some videos on there for my Avon, but being a stay-at-home mom, working for Avon, having a kid and 2 dogs, and a husband that works all the time....gotta keep myself busy. There are going to be some limits, having my hubby dear in the military I can't show you everything. So if I film something that can't be seen or Spencer doesn't want it to be public I'll be cutting it out. Sooooooo.....

.........anyways check out those two links, have fun. And don't forget to check out my other blog that I link ALL of my Avon stuff on. Just click on my picture on the side and scroll down. Not hard to miss.

Hayden Dancing to Loco Legs

Brother and Sister Dental Odyssey

No this is not anyone I know...this video was just really funny so I had to share! Enjoy!

Snot, flem, and baby rub

Thank goodness Hayden is feeling better today. Still has a cough but def. better than what it sounded like last night. I ended up going up to Wal-mart since Walgreens was closed. I got him some more Benadryl and some baby rub to go on his back and chest. Had to be careful with the baby rub though because it's from the makers of Vicks, and Spencer can't have Vicks anywhere near his lungs. Can't remember what he said what happens to him but I'm guessing make the matter worse. But Hayden got that put on his back last night and he passed out. Woke up a little earlier this morning but I would too if I was coughing that much. Before the coughing he had the sniffles, so hopefully this coughing will be done and over with soon.

18 more days till I leave for Houston. Can't wait. Not a big fan of flying but I'm not driving the 20 hours by myself with Hayden from here to Houston. Not gonna happen, plus my mom would kill me.
Hopefully when I take my trip through the airport I can drop off a few brochures at random places to boost my sales through Avon. I'm just hoping that business with Avon gets better. I know everyone doing a at home business deal like what I'm doing has a rough start but I'm keeping on trying.
Don't forget that I made an Avon blog. You can get to it by clicking on my picture on the side bar and it will take it straight to it. It should be able to help you know all the new products that are coming out. I'm linking all my videos from YouTube to them, and all the news, specials, etc. If there is anything that you would like to see let me know and I'll do my best to add it.

Okay Mommy has had enough. I'm tired of it. When Spencer comes home today I am going grocery shopping by MYSELF! No followers, just me, myself, and I. Don't be surprised that I take forever, or go to a bar and get a drink or two. Mommy needs a break. And since a certain someone only behaves when another certain someone is home, that certain someone can watch the other certain someone for while.
I actually considered switching places with Spencer last night for about a week. He can be Mr. Mom, and I'll go to work. Yup, I think that will work. At least for a week. He thinks my job is so fucking easy. I know his is hard and shit and I'm not saying it's not but he thinks that he will do a great job at it. Yeah....okay.....so that's why when I came home last night from Verizon he was still on the computer....still haven't taken a shower....and the kid destroyed the living room, oh and still haven't eaten. Sure......good fucking job.

Bunch of grown men singing Lady Gaga live and acapella!

Wow Okay, well I have spent the last oh I don't know 2 hours working on getting a stain out of my carpet in the closet. Guess, go ahead and guess what it is?...................nothing...................Nail Polish. And not just any type of nail polish, it is HOT PINK. Oh and it wasn't just a little ... it was the whole dang bottle, well, except for a drop or two. Go ahead and guess who caused that stain/mess.......yup you guessed it right, MR. Hayden.
I heard him crying (cuz he knows he's in trouble) and I'm walking into the living room and I already smell it. I'm like what the hell is that smell. I see pink on his foot so I'm already thinking, CRAP! So I follow the smell and low and behold, HOT PINK NAIL POLISH. Just what I needed for the day. To clean, like I don't have enough already.
I will post pictures later. I'm going to go soak it some more.

As you can tell I have deleted 2-3 tabs above. I have removed the New Discoveries tab, because if I found something interesting I'll be sharing it with you anyways. I also removed the Avon tab. I have opened up a new blog. So if you would like to go to that click on my picture on the side and you will be able to get to it. It will have my YouTube videos and everything Avon/Mark, etc. Hope you enjoy.
No new additions of stories lately. I really am trying to get on here regularly but when nothing to talk about happens, kind of hard to write about nothing.

Early Morning?...I think so

Okay so far this morning has been some what interesting. Had to drive Spencer to work....at 5am. I haven't taken him to work in a very long time. I think the last time I've taken him to work was back before he deployed. Which is a long time... It was really funny coming back home the freeway was so backed up for the gates it went on forever. It looked like 2 strings of Christmas Lights. It's just as bad as traffic in Houston. So made it home and had Hayden lay in my bed for at least a good hour watching the end of some movie on HBO. It's actually kinda sad that at 6am there is nothing on T.V. until at least 7:00-7:30am.
But it's all good. I needed to wake up this early anyways, so I can deliver my brochures. Which I've been putting off for a while. I still need to make out notes and put them in the bags, which I think I need to make 25-30 notes. So I've got to make the note short as possible so I'm not writing forever.

Avon Animal Testing

So a friend of mine asked a very important question yesterday about Avon products. If anyone is particular about their make-up (I know I am) and are against Animal Testing. We DO NOT test on animals.

Avon is known for its leading efforts to eliminate animal testing. On June 2, 1989, Avon became the first major cosmetic company to announce a permanent end to animal testing on all Avon-manufactured products. In place of animal testing, our safety evaluation process utilizes data from in-vitro tests (test tube/cell culture) or clinical tests (on human volunteers), and references existing animal-testing data.

A day in the life of....

Okay so once again ... on a weekend I may add..that I had to do everything by myself. Omg, he irritates me soo much sometimes. Yes, I know that's a guy's duty to do but I can only take so much. It's like 9-10am before the heat of the day was going to hit. I gave him PLENTY of time to wake up, considering we woke up at the same time. I told him that I was going to get dressed and go outside and mow the front yard.
Okay I like having a clean cut yard, I don't want it looking like trash. Also, since I took down those fences I needed to run over those spots to even out the yard.
Anyways, I went outside and mowed, edged, and took the leaf (grass) blower to everything. I'm finishing up edging on the side and Spencer comes out and says, "I was going to do that". I laughed, I couldn't help it. Sorry but ummm...if you were going to do it, you should have been out here helping me DO IT, and not play that damn stupid game.
Which in fact, he played that damn f-ing game ALL day! I even went to sleep without him. There's no telling what time he decided to come to bed. Oh, there was one thing he did do. Make pasta. He also wanted to go for a walk at one time and it was like 730-8pm...yes I want to take my 2 year old son walking while it is pitch black outside.
I was watching t.v. at one point and he said he was off, nope...5 minutes later he got back on. Whatever. All I know is that mess he made in the kitchen last night, I'm gonna end up cleaning it.

My Grandfather's Pickles

Okay so far today seems to be okay. No stupid questions...blah blah blah. Now with the whole Avon thing, I'm actually getting really bored with it. I know it's only been like 2 weeks since I started but this whole making sure the brochures are out to everybody kind of thing, isn't really my thing. I truthfully I don't even know why I signed up for this. I hardly wear much make-up to begin with. I usually where eyeliner and eyeshadow and if I have some important thing to go to I wear foundation. Yeah, Avon is more than just make-up, it has fragrances, and bath & body stuff but the beauty department life really isn't what I wanted to do with my life. I've always been about food, cooking, baking, etc.
Now my mom just recently just gave me my grandfather's recipe for making Hot & Dill Pickles. Now that's something I can do. Turn my grandfather's pickles into a profit. Now I'm not talking about going big like the ones you see in the store. I'm talking about Flea Markets, or Farmer's Markets. That's something that's in my area. Plus I want to do something that is going to make me happy. And Avon...not really.
I am going to give Avon a try though. Possibly when I get the pickle making going, I can do Avon part-time. Just for a few extra bucks. But I truthfully think making my grandfather's pickles will be a better, happier, and not time wasting job/hobby.

Another Day Another Drama

So I've done it again. I haven't been on Twitter for for like a year at the least. I got back in it. Not sure why. (Mom, please don't sign up for Twitter, you have to much stuff already) Basically lately I've been just trying to get the word out online that I'm working with Avon. I guess I'm doing okay in the business. Hasn't been a full month yet. So as some businesses go you've got to give them time. Spend money to make money. Well me not so much of the spending part.

OMG! I woke up this morning at 7:20am to the damn doorbell and the dogs barking. Of course that woke up Hayden. But this dude at the door asked if he could take the stuff by the side of the road. Ummmm....DUH! That's why at it's on the side of the road aka CURB! It's like an unwritten rule that once someone doesn't want it anymore and it's too big for the trash they "Curb It". Free to all may want. I just really hope today isn't "Ask Stupid Question Day". I'm sorry but DUMBASS!

Yesterday Spencer got paid and he said we are going to Buffalo Wild Wings. So we got there and by the time we sat down and got our food it was 2HOURS!! And it took 30 freaking minutes for our ticket to get to our table. So much for going grocery shopping. It was soo freaking slow, we only gave our server a dollar. She should have been happy she got that. They supposedly dropped Hayden's food and had to remake it. But we had 3 different people come to our table and tell us a different story on why Hayden's food still wasn't there. Lies! The server said she put Hayden's order in with the appetizer so it would be out faster. NOPE...it was after we got our food. And with the normal food..our fries were cold. And we had to ask multiple times for napkins and refills.
I'm sorry. I'm a server..I mean was a server. I worked in 3 different restaurants. If you can't handle your job ASK FOR HELP! Don't be afraid to ask for help. You get more "respect" from the customers, and your co-workers if you ask for help. And don't take on more that you can handle too. If you have to many tables and you can't do it, your going to struggle and piss off your customers.

It's been a while...

Okay this is like my 5th attempt at writing and I finally have a chance to finish it. The dogs kept barking at something, and Hayden was screaming because of a bug, and he accidentally changed the channel, or he ran out of apple juice. So Hayden is in bed for a nap, the dogs are outside and my phone is on silent for a few minutes so I can finish this post that's probably not going to be that long or important. Just want to get a post on here since I haven't been up to writing...well...more like typing.
So ya it's been a while since I've been on here. Not much important going on lately. Yesterday I took down the front part of the fence in our yard. I'll be taking down the side pieces either today or later this week. I like being different in the neighborhood but I didn't really like the white fence in our yard. Also needing to take down the other brick column and get a actual mailbox. Like I said not much going on.

Oh I would like to give a big welcome back to my friend's husband who just made it back from overseas. We are glad he made it back safe and sound. So WELCOME BACK CORY!!

So Spencer is on his way home. So I guess I end this short and get off and sit my butt down on the couch and watch my recorded shows. Laters!

I think.....

I think we had a cool front last night. I never watch the news or weather so I never know anything unless I look it up, and that VERY rarely, like a hurricane or something. I let my dogs outside this morning and it was sooo much cooler than it was yesterday. Feels good!! Now if we can keep it like this temperature it will be perfect. No colder, no warmer. LOL I know...don't hold my breath! I like this weather that's between Summer and Fall/Winter.

Yesterday was so cool. I got my first Avon package trough the mail, with more brochures and some samples I order. It was like Christmas. I was soo excited.

Good Morning!

Yesterday (Monday) was my birthday and it was great. We celebrated most of it on Sunday since Spencer had to work yesterday. He let me sleep in, which that time it actually worked since the past couple of times that I've tried my body decided to be a butt. He also tried to make me breakfast in bed but the planned failed since I had to pee, so I told him to take it to the table so we can all eat it together. We watched movies and later the afternoon/evening he BBQ and we relaxed the rest of the day. Yesterday was good too, Hayden was misbehaving a little bit but I figured he wanted to make Mama's Birthday extra special. Which I thank him so much for.
I got soo many Birthday wishes from my friends and I'm glad that I so loved.

Avon

I am now an Avon Representative. I started yesterday. I am currently going through the training videos and setting up my site. I will keep you updated on specials and new products coming out. I will also work on getting a tab to go along with this blog to help separate the topics.

http://amandaburgett.avonrepresentative.com/

Spencer is funny, and Rain is not

He told me last night that whenever we do get pregnant he hopes for a girl. And then he says that if it's not a girl we've got to try again until we get one. Hahahaha! He's funny, he's not the one who has to carry the load for 9 months then push the big head out. And trust me Hayden's head was pretty big. LOL. I just laughed and walked away. I wasn't about to finish that conversation with him.


Well, apparently that small little rain cloud I saw on our radar was a little bit bigger than what they weather man thought. It rained for a little bit during the day, but after 7pm-ish it hit. For a while too. It ended up doing a power surge and of course that didn't help the cause with Hayden. He was already freaking out with the thunder. We were watching the rain through our back door and lighting hit, next thing I knew I saw our fence. LOL. And Hayden ran to the couch and hid under the blanket.

October....

Well, my plan that I had for going to Texas in October just went down the toilet. Looks like I'm stuck in North Carolina for the whole month Spencer is off training. I'm bummed that I won't be able to see my friends and family but that's okay. Money is the main issue here. $600 for a freaking round trip to TX and back. Forget it! And I'm not driving by myself with a toddler. No way! Spencer may be able to get Christmas off and we drive down then. But until then, saving money.

Guess that's okay, I can get everything set up for Halloween. I love decorating for Halloween. I try to go all out as much as possible. (You can ask my parents) Halloween and Christmas are my favorite holidays to decorate. I mean Thanksgiving has some decorating in it but its mainly all about food. I go all out on that too. And since we have our house now....I don't have to worry about decorating restrictions. Don't worry, I "WILL"be posting pictures of my decor after it's all up. I'm sooooo proud of myself after I do it. I will in fact have to invest in a ladder before then tho, especially before Christmas so we can do the light. Ohhh, I can't wait. I like the heat (some) of Summer, but I'm ready for it to be fall now.

Toys....For Real??

Are we really running out of ideas for toys? I understand this may be for a baby shower or a prank or something. But really? Barbie has now done everything. Barbie has the car, the masion, she turned into a slut with Ken, GI Joe, and having kids without being pregnant and enduring the wonderful wonders and pains of labor. BUT...they are getting there now. She is now pregnant. I can't wait for a Barbie being made with a head sticking out of her crotch, and an epidural needle coming out of her back. Actually what would make this better is if they do make this "Labor Barbie" is have Ken and all her boyfriends included with the box. Hahaha.
I'm sorry but this Pregnant Barbie has sent me back in time when I had Barbies. My barbie went through EVERYTHING. Even an occasional haircut, and a brother pulling their heads off.

Dinner/Supper

What ever the correct term people are using these days...Supper...Dinner...does it really matter? Anyways...Last night was sooo funny with Hayden I cried. I was preparing a 5lb Chicken for supper (recipe later) and I un-wrap the chicken and wash it. I go and put in the bowl so I could marinate it and Hayden goes, "Wow, Mom, The chicken has no head!!!" And he seemed very concerned. He noticed that it still had part of the neck attached but he was more worried about the head missing. But I can tell you one thing...I would have not bought that chicken if it still had it's head attached.
I laughed so hard, I thought I was going to wake up Spencer. Don't know why I thought it was so funny but at that particular time it was.
But later on when I pulled the chicken out of the oven, Hayden didn't care about anything but eating it. The chicken was devoured, only the bones were left. I mainly ate the skin, *drool*, the way I cooked the chicken left the skin crispy, and the meat tender and juicy. Sooo good, probably not the healthiest chicken but lets just say that it would be perfect for Thanksgiving for those who don't like turkey.

Just another day in paradise....

Definitely feeling better today. Better than the past couple days. Still having some cramping but truthfully I would be surprised if I didn't have it. I cheated last night I had some Dr. Pepper. I not only had a headache since I hadn't had one in a couple days, but it was soooo calling my name. I drank so much Water and Gatorade yesterday I figured One little glass of Dr. Pepper sweetness couldn't hurt. Spencer looked at me but didn't say anything. I figured he was afraid too..lol. Don't mess with me and my Dr. Pepper.

Got out and mowed yesterday since not only did it need it, but I was so bored of being inside. Plus my skin needed a little sun. Hell, I also edged. I kinda scalped a few spots but hey, it's grass it will grow back. Plus I am still learning. This morning when I let the dogs outside I noticed that I missed a few spots in the grass. Hey, it was towards the end of the day and it was really hot and I was trying to hurry up and finish. I wasn't trying to make it perfect, I was just trying to get it cut. I also removed the damn vines that were up and down the back fence from our neighbor. I had to take the saw to a couple pieces but got it.
Also Hayden found a dead butterfly yesterday and I thought we would have tears. But no, he looked at it, went Oh, Noooo, and walked away. Lucked out on that one.

I also made Spencer cook last night. After cleaning inside and then outside I was in no mood to do anything else. One thing Spencer forgot was cleaning up the kitchen. I am getting really tired of the damn computer game he plays. I mean he watched a movie with me yesterday and he cooked for us. But thinks that doing those things would make up for the time he spends on the game. I can't put Facebook or this blog before Hayden and the house duties. And having him say, "Well I worked all day that should mean something". NO, it doesn't Work and Home are 2 different things, places, and situations. Yes, at Work (Spencers work) he has no choice but to do stuff, BUT....at home there are responsibilities that need to be done. He did laundry yesterday BUT for work.
We had a deal/agreement (no it wasn't written or in blood) but who ever cooks, the other one cleans. But the past couple times I've been cooking and cleaning. So when he cooked last night I clean most of it but I told him that he had to take care of the rest. Which was to pan on the stove and clean the table and counters since the dishwasher was already running and full. Something so simple. I told him that and he said I'm playing a game. That "game" is going to get deleted one of these days. I'm sooooooooooo tired of this BULLSHIT. I've tried everything.

Yet another one

Well for the past 2 weeks I have been feeling like crap. My stomach was hurting, I felt bloated, my back hurt, etc. I went to the doctor last Friday and all he did was feel of my stomach and say that I had something wrong with my gut. Whatever. I won't be seeing that Doctor again if I can help it. I didn't get any tests. If he did test me he would have found out that I have yet another bladder infection/UTI.
I'm am so prone to this stuff. I called my mother yesterday and asked how many Cranberry Pills I can take in one day, then told her that I have another infection. She then reminded me about me having "Interstitial Cystitis" back in 2006. And having the surgery to fix it. I'm not saying this is it, because I haven't gone to a specialist yet about it. But not saying it's not. But I can tell you that I do have a UTI, and don't have to go to the doctor to say I have it. Definitely uncomfortable.

Can I stop being sick? For at least a month. Is that so much to ask? I'm tired of feeling a mopey, and a couch potato. Well, it hasn't helped much having it being so hot outside.

Oh, on a positive note. A couple of ladies came this weekend and picked up ALL of that damn gravel, rocks, wire, etc. Not only the stuff that I had in Spencer's truck but also the stuff in the garage. Spencer is happy that he not only has more room in the garage again but he has his truck back. The tires on his truck had been looking a little low with all the weight on top of it. So after the ladies took it (for their blown out dam), we cleaned out the garage and re-arranged a few items. So much room in it now.

Mind of his own

Hayden definitely has a personality of his own. Don't know where he's getting it. Possibly his father when I'm not around or looking or his T.V. shows but wow! We had some left over rope that we use to bring some stuff home and Hayden got hold of some, and started swinging it around. So I told him to give it to me before the dogs or ME got hit with it. He, of course says no, and runs off. Well I find him in my room hiding the rope under the dresser. He stands up looks at me and says, "Ha!, Don't touch my rope". At first I wanted to laugh because it kinda is funny but I had to keep a straight face. I stand there and tell him to get the rope, so he gets it and tries to escape but after some struggling and some screaming I finally get it. But the main point of this is that he's not only got a mouth on him but his personality is not hiding anywhere. LOL.

I got thinking today of how much has happened in three years.

- Had a baby (who is now 2 almost 3)
- We moved 4 times.
- Went through 1 LONG Deployment.
- Got 2 dogs, both 2 years old.
- Got a car.
- Got a House.

- Planning for our future.

And we are still happy, healthy, and under 25. I think we are doing a great job. Hey, in 20 years we could be for retirement. :) **Big smile** LOL
I'm just surprised on how much has changed and we achieved in 3 years.

Me now I'm off to go put the car seat in the car, fix a snack for me and Hayden then maybe off to the Dollar Store or something. I "need" out of this house for a while. Plus Hayden is getting restless since none of his shows are on (plus mine)

Just some pictures

So tired, I can't remember what we did
that day but we got home started
to watch a movie and he passed out.

This is what happens when the
Army runs out of names. LOL



My 2 Handsome Boys

Trying not to laugh

You know it's actually really hard not to laugh at your child when your trying to be serious and he's being cute. As I'm trying to get Hayden to pick up the massive amount of toys scattered across his floor, in the middle of the "debate" he picks up his toy phone and goes and sits on his bed. I asked him what he was doing and he goes, "Calling Grandma & Papa". I had to try my hardest not to smirk for once I do the scolding that I spent the past hour on won't matter anymore. So I let him sit there for a minute or two and he walks up to me, hands me the phone and goes, "Here's Grandma". (Like I was the one in trouble)
So I put the phone up to my ear and tell "Grandma" that Hayden isn't listening to Mommy and I have to go, I close the phone. So I left him in his room in the hopes that the toys will be picked up. Though, every 5 minutes I'm going in a checking on him, and he's picking each toy and inspecting it. I guess making sure if it's a toy, book, stuff animals, etc.

Now if only this would work with Spencer and the computer room that would be GREAT! LOL.

Religion??

Okay don't get me wrong. I have nothing against religion and other people believing in religion, but I've heard more about God, Jesus, going to Church and praying more this month I have heard in my whole life. Movies, T.V. shows, radio, computer, public, etc. Enough all ready. It's all about religion lately and it's starting to piss me off. Again I say I don't have a problem with it, but stuff is better with moderation. I just think religion is over rated. There are so many out there, how do you know which one is real? You don't, unless you time travel. Religion is something people made up so that other people would follow and randomly give money to churches, so the churches could fill crap into peoples heads about some guy who may or may not exist.
Now I'm saying that he doesn't exist and I'm not saying he does. But I'm saying I'm not going to church every Sunday and Wednesday night for some guy who thinks he knows everything brainwash me crap that's written in a book that has probably been misinterpreted by a person who translated it a 1,000 years after Jesus died. Stuff and Languages changed so much in that time period how do you know what's in the Bible is real. Because some so called scientists told you so?, no I don't think so. I can wait for God/Jesus/Moses, whoever I will meet when I die. People tell me that I HAVE to believe in them to live. NO, I don't I'm 21 years old, I think I'm living perfectly fine.
Basically what I'm saying is chill on the religion stuff and leave me out of it.

Enough about that, it's been a while I've been on here. I think I just got over whelmed with everything I didn't really care. Tomorrow I will actually have something more interesting to talk about. Laters

Tuesday Tuesday Tuesday

Wow, have not been on here in a couple days. I think it's past due I make an entry. Well today is basically the same stuff. Spencer is off working, Hayden is being his rowdy self, dogs driving me nuts, and me cleaning Ink out of the computer room carpet. Yay!, the fun never stops. LOL. The other day we left the dogs to roam the computer room instead of caged up since we would be a while. We picked everything up off the floor, took items out of the room so Rebecca wouldn't chew on it and left. We came back let them out, didn't even notice it till an hour or two later, there was a chewed up pen and ink stains into the carpet. Well, it was already 10pm and I was not caring at that point to scream at the dogs, plus Hayden was already down for that night. So I waited till the morning to kick their butt. I ran up to the store last night and picked up some carpet cleaner. I think I need to stay stocked up this stuff, it's something new each week that's been going into the carpet.
I think it also maybe time that we hire someone to come PROFESSIONALLY clean our carpet. The people that said they cleaned our house before we moved in so lied, but at that moment I was so happy we had a house I didn't much care. I was so happy to be out of apartments.

Oh, update! As of last week. We owe NOBODY nothing. No extra bills, and no one to pay off. (well except for my parents) We just have normal monthly bills, and credit cards to pay. We can actually start saving money now. It's like weight has been lifted off our shoulders, we don't have to worry about anything anymore. We can live our life, buy things for our house and not have to worry about the consequence behind it. If we screw up, it will be on our shoulders and no one can tell us otherwise. We can start making plans for our future.

Spencer's birthday is Thursday. 22! I will be 22 next month. We are having Amber watch Hayden so he can go out drinking for his birthday. And of course I'm going to be driving. Now, 2-3 drinks, taking it slow. Gotta make sure I can still drive. I've also gotta make sure Spencer doesn't over do it, like the last couple times he drank. I'm tired of him sleeping on the bathroom floor. I already have enough alone time when he was in Iraq.

Let's get better

Well everyone seems to be sick now. Spencer has this sinus infection going on in his nose and throat. He's coughing up Flem and his nose...eww. Hayden is starting to get better, he still has a cough every once in a while, and for me I still have the ear infection and every morning my throat hurts so much. Like a hedgehog crawled up there and raped it. So since Spencer is sick, he's taking medicine that makes him want to "sleep it off" so that makes him stay up to 3am, and when 7-8am comes around for me and Hayden, I'm stuck with Hayden and the dogs again. I know nothing different from the work days, but since he's off I at least want one day to sleep in. Whatever.

The BBQ we had on Sunday went okay. Could have been better. We ended up watching a movie. Woo! Which I didn't see half of it anyways because of the kids fighting over the toys. Issac and Hayden if you were wondering. Hayden wasn't sharing, and Issac, well, he didn't seem to care much. Kinda looked at Hayden like "whats your problem?". They ended up leaving after the movie so they could get Issac a nap, and go watch Fireworks on Post. We ended up not going for a couple reasons. I'm not battling traffic to get on and off. I'm not driving all the way there and back, and Spencer is off until next Monday, so he didn't want to go up there unless he had too. So we did our own Fireworks here at the house. Well come to think of it, that maybe the cause of us getting sick. All that smoke inhalation. At least for Spencer anyways.

But like I said Hayden is feeling better, also has his attitude towards us. Like he got sick and his manners went out the window. He thinks that he can get whatever he wants, when he wants it, and if he doesn't get it he pouts and cries, he doesn't say Please or Thank You anymore, and his temper tantrums are not going to fly. So the past couple days he's been getting his butt busted. I know he's two, but he knows better. We've taught him better than that.

I'm a SAHM because....

I'm a Stay-At-Home-Mom because I love being around my child all the time. Yes, every mom needs a break but I want to be there, to see everything. I love watching him grow up, teaching him things myself, and having him teach me a thing or two. I don't want to throw him into a Daycare during the day and have someone else watch him grow. I don't want to be one of those mom's that wake up, get everyone dressed, fed, and in the car to daycare, do a 8-5 work day, come home, fed, bath, dressed, and then off to bed. No that doesn't work for me.
Now I'm not talking about NOT putting him in Daycare, I'm talking about were I only see my child on the weekends. Now, I am going to be going to school, and put him in Daycare then. But it's not going to be all day. I'm only going to be a Part-Time student. I still have a family/house to run. Still not sure what I'm going to be doing, probably stay with the cooking. I've gotta get an appointment with the Army people still to see what they will support. If I don't get a chance to enroll this fall, I will at least do some Online courses.
(so yes mom I am going to do something...lol)

Sick....still

Well, I ended up going to the doctor yesterday. I went back to sleep around 830 and slept for 4 hours. Didn't really help any, so I waited 30 minutes in the waiting room, saw the doctor for 10 minutes and waited an hour and a half for my prescription. Gotta love clinics that are doing a remodel. Well, anyways, I ended up having an ear infection in MY RIGHT ear (your left), and the pain and all the crap is going to my throat. Sooo, right now I'd prefer to have snot flowing through my nose. Benadryl and Sudafed can take care of that...lol. The doctor gave me Amoxicillin, and also refilled my asthma inhaler since it expired in January.
So I woke up this morning and Hayden coughs in my face. Thanks, that should make me feel better. My throat is doing better. But still don't feel anything towards my ears yet. I'm going to be heading up to Walgreens or CVS...whatever is around the corner, I can't remember, and get Hayden some more Benadryl since he ran out last night. I just want everyone to start feeling better. Well, its just me and Hayden that are sick, Spencer is probably thinking to get inside a plastic bubble to stay safe...lol.

4th of JULY, Sunday, probably going to BBQ, and have some friends over. But I actually doubt it. Not the fact that we are sick but the people we are inviting over are only gonna be over here to eat then leave. So, whatever. I'm actually out of it right now so, I'll figure this issue out later with Spencer and see what he wants to do.

Lets stop getting sick...please

Hayden is soo cute. He just woke up and is now watching GO Diego GO, and Diego asked if he could say something in Spanish. Hayden went NO, each time that Diego spoke Spanish. So cute.

Well I woke up this morning at 5am, I think I woke up before that but 5am is when I called it. My throat was hurting soooo much. When I tried to swallow, I almost went into tears. So I got up and got something to drink, that didn't work, so I took Benadryl, Sudafed and a Vicodin. I tried to lay down and go back to sleep and that didn't work. So 2 and a half hours later, the medicine. are kicking my ass. I still feel a little pain but not to where I'm going to cry. If I'm still hurting around 9-10am, I'm calling the doctor and making an appointment. This happened out of no where, no warning or anything.
Now Hayden is sick so I may have caught it from him. Now he's coughing and it sounds painful so I'm gonna give him more Benadryl and Tylenol. Hope that it works. I don't want everyone sick for 4th of July. I might make him an appointment too. Probably see if we can do both of ours at the same time. I doubt it tho.

Oh ya, since I haven't been on here in a while. We got our House Refund back, early. So we are almost done paying off bills, and debt, and people, etc. And we still have a bunch of money left. But that, my friend, is going into Savings. Spencer got a new toy and I went shopping. LOL. I still want to go treat myself, like a mani/pedi, and eyebrow wax, you know girly stuff. So I may leave Hayden with Spencer today since he's off for a week and a half and go do that. Only if we start feeling better.

We're Back............and not burnt

We had a blast. We got to the hotel around 2 o'clock. Had enough time to go down stairs a swim for a little bit before Supper and then our session. The whole seminar was about bringing families together and making bonds stronger. Well, I thought the whole thing was a load of crap. Like I need someone else telling me on how to raise my family. Some of the information was good and there were jokes but the other stuff I just sat there, like "why the hell are we doing this?". We had an hour and a half seminar on Friday, 2-hour and half on Saturday and a two hour one on Sunday. Thank goodness, they provided babysitting because there was NO way that Hayden would sit through that B.S. that long. They did let us loose around noon on Saturday so we can go have fun.
Hayden ended up taking a nap around 4-5ish along with me. All that excitement just got to him. LOL
He kinda, enjoyed the beach, he wasn't too sure about the waves coming in. But I was having a blast. So much clearer than Galveston beaches, and not just the water I'm talking about.
Maybe next time we go he might enjoy the water a little bit more. That's okay, we spent most of our time in the pool anyways. They had 3 different sections for the little kids (toddler), a section for people to play basketball (yes in the water), 4 hot tubs, a lazy river, and a normal pool. You better believe we hit ALL of them.
Wish I got more sun than what I got, but that's okay I still have a backyard I can tan in. Speaking of that, 4th of July is coming up soon. Can't wait to do some Hot Dogs, Hamburgers, Steaks, etc. And Spencer will be happy because he can fire off some Fireworks. Hope they still work. We bought them 2 years ago and only used half of them.

Word-Less Wednesday

5 Stars

I am sooo excited about this weekend. This weekend the Army is sending us (me, Spencer and Hayden) to a 5 Star Resort in Myrtle Beach, NC. Right on the beach. The only catch is we have to go to this seminar but that is fine. I've got the dogs set up for the vet. to drop off on Friday and pick up on Monday. This week before we go I'm going to be getting all the laundry done and Thursday I will be packing and making sure we have everything. I can't wait. The Army finally came through with something other than screwing with us. They have it set up were when we show up on Friday a paid for Supper, on Saturday paid for breakfast and lunch but we've got to pay for supper, and finally on Sunday before we leave a paid for breakfast. Ahhh I can't wait. Relaxation here I come.
And to top off the deal, the Resort has a brand new Kids Water section. Doesn't that look soo cool. I think Hayden will have a blast. Hell, I'll have a blast. LOL. There's more pics but you can see those later.

Father's Day (part 3)

Ms. Brooklyn Aubrey Bell is here! Congrats Christie and Terry!
What a Wonderful Father's Day present for my future Brother-In-Law.

Please note to other readers. Christie really isn't my sister. She's my best friend that's been there our whole life.

Father's Day (part 2)

So far so good. This morning I had Spencer fix the garbage disposal, but that's it. He's been playing on his game some more and he had to run to post to get something for this week coming but I think he's having a good father's day.

Oh another is happening today. Christie is hopefully having the baby either tonight or tomorrow. She woke up this morning around 9am and her water broke. Yup, I think Ms. Brooklyn is finally ready to come see the world. And in perfect timing for Father's Day. At least now we know why she was taking her sweet time. As of an hour ago still no change, well except for the contractions.

Patient Mommy & Daddy waiting for their arrival.

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all the Dad's out there. Letting Spencer sleep in today, of course he also stayed up to 4am playing his game so I kinda got to let him. Have nothing really special planned out for him. I would though if we had the money. It's good thing too because he said all he wanted was me and Hayden to be here. I basically said "DONE". He wasn't here last year, due to the damn Army. But at least this one he can spend with his family and I can either make it up on his birthday or next year. I wanted to get him a new grill so maybe I can get that for his birthday.

Well, a little update on the front yard re-do/construction. Me, Myself and I, finished on taking down one of those towers in the drive-way. I am a little pissed at Spencer for that because yesterday I was finishing up on it and he's inside play his damn game while I'm out there not only sweating my ass off but hurting myself in the process. I also cleaned the garage too, on top of that. So I'm still on talking terms with him but I am a little pissed. He made up for some of it by cooking supper, so it's all good.

That was soo cool. As I was sitting here a little Finch, I think, flew up to the window and started chirping. I had the window cracked a little bit, and Rebecca saw it and was about to jump for it. She had that bird in her sight. I'm hoping it will come back longer so I can get a picture of it. It would be so cool. I know, I'm a little corny but it's not everyday that you can have a bird on your window.

Babysitting

Omg!...now I'm probably over-reacting a little bit but come on. Okay here's the deal. I had called a friend of mine (Amber) to babysit Hayden because Spencer wanted to take me out last night. Well, I ended up canceling that because Spencer said his friends wife (Ashley) was going to babysit. I met her a few times and hung out with her so it wasn't like a total stranger was going to watch him. So Ashley is pregnant, so watching Hayden would be good practice, and Hayden is a good kid. So we ended up driving 30 miles just to drop Hayden off at his place around 8-815. Ashley's husband, Spencer's friend(Tyler), said we had to be back at 10 to pick him up because it was cutting into his sleeping time.
Okay first, he's in the Army so he should be used to not have sleep. Second, he's about to have a child of his own so he's going to be screwed on sleep. And third, if he didn't want to be so called "sleep deprived", he shouldn't have volunteered to babysit. Wait, let me correct myself, shouldn't have volunteered his wife, who didn't say shit when I walked in.

So we left shortly after dropping him off, and got to the bar around 845, and we were there maybe 30 minutes before I started getting calls from Tyler saying, "You need to come pick him up". Okay we told him that we would be leaving the bar around 10 and be there to pick him up shortly after. We were there an hour. An HOUR! Oooohhhh...I had sooo much fun spending an hour at the F***ing bar!
Like I said, I maybe over-reacting but I hardly ever get to go out and do something for myself. Without a 2-year old up my ass. I deserve a little bit longer than an hour. Especially after everything I do, not jut for Hayden either. I can tell you one thing, I'm never having Ashley and Tyler babysit ever again. (unless its life and death but that's a different story) Until then, Amber is going to do. She at least has a child and knows how a child can be. I would invited her along other than she's under age right now, and I hardly see her drink anyways.

I can't believe it....

I know at my age I shouldn't be worried about weight but for 2 years my abs haven't been the same. Well, you know after Hayden. I was lucky. I lost almost all of my baby fat. But please don't put this as complaining, because I am really happy I lost it. But a couple days ago I couldn't fit into my pants, size 5 (I know, I know, I'm lucky so shhh), and I noticed in a couple of pictures I've been taking that my face has gotten a little rounder. I wouldn't mind it, if I was pregnant, but I'm not. So it kinda bothers me, I've always been skinny and would like to stay that way. I look at my stomach with any kinda of pants/shorts, and I notice that I have a muffin top. Plus, I asked Spencer and told him to be totally honest. I know bad thing but he said that I was kinda was putting a little weight on. Which kinda made me a little depressed because I in a way I knew about it for a while but didn't do much to prevent it.
I am not going to go out into a public pool with a 2 piece kinda thing. Like I said, I'm not complaining (much) but the muffin top has got to go. So walks, and a little exercising, and getting rid of some junk food. Junk food is my problem, I eat when I'm bored. Plus this would Hayden out of the house and have him be healthy too. I mean I'm not going to be this health freak but at least be healthier and active, instead of a couch potato.
I've been a healthy person. I mean I had issues but not life threathening. You know like UTI's, Bladder infections, PID, normal stuff. Nothing like heart or lung problems. But maybe if I cut out some junk food I can stay healthy. Well not that my age is a problem but it needed to come to this soon. One thing I can't cut out but can reduce is caffeine. I am horrible with Dr. Pepper. LOL. Dr. Pepper is like my drug.

I just love this Video. Spencer did something like this for when he came home. I was expecting him a week before he actually came home to surprise me. This made me cry and think of that moment.

Migrane

Oh man I love going to bed with a massive headache and waking up and no headache. Last night I went to bed around 1130 after taking a Vicodin and half and a Phenergan (nausea), and 10 hours later of wonderful sleep, I feel amazing. Hungry like crazy, but sooo much better. I have sooo much energy today, gotta go to Target again and buy another pair of sunglasses. They keep breaking. This time they broke in my purse, Hayden was swinging it around so I get either he dropped it or hit it against something. Anywho, I still need another pair of sunglasses to drive with. Then off to Walmart to finish up on the grocery shopping. Fun Fun Fun.

Yeah, Spencer told me last night that if my sunglasses keep on breaking that I'm going to get the more expensive/durable sunglasses. I was like okay, I think I can do that. HA! A shopping I will go, a shopping I will go, hi-ho-cherrio, a shopping I will go. Wow. I know I'm so weird. LOL.

Am I really?

So the other day Spencer told me that his buddies at work think I'm intimidating when they first meet me. Not sure if this is a good thing. Like they expect me to be a total bitch or something. We are going to a party tonight so lets see if notice anything with the new guys. LOL. When I think of it, it's kinda funny, because truthfully if I wanted to be a bitch, I can do bitch. It won't be a problem. I told Spencer that and he was like, "Noooo", and then I laughed.

Another random two year old thing just happened. Hayden came up to me, sat down, layed his head down on my stomach, and then quickly bounced up and said,"I want Ice Cream". Ummmm, okay. I didn't have anything else to say besides, "Go ask Daddy". Next thing I heard, Spencer saying, "We don't have Ice Cream, why did you tell him to come ask me?".Like I knew. LOL. And of course now he's moved onto Nemo Gummy. He's now sitting in the middle of the living room floor swaying side to side saying, "Nemo Gummy, Nemo Gummy, Nemo Gummy". Funny how quickly their minds switch to one thing after another. Ha!

I'm having a hard time typing right now, my space bar is sticking and I'm having to slam down on it. Gonna go clean it now, and get Spencer dressed since he rushed me and Hayden to get dressed for this party. Laters!

Update: it's been a while

Father's Day is coming up. June 20th, and I'm having a hard time trying to figure out what he wants. I don't want to really ask him what he wants because that will basically be easier by going to get his present himself. Occasionally he looks at new BBQ pits, but I'm still waiting for the house refund to come in. Plus, it keeps on raining so it would be a while by the time he gets to use it, not only because he works Monday-Friday anyways. By the time I have a chance to get it, it will probably be time for his birthday in July. Maybe a new video game but I haven't been to a game store with him in a while. OR I just get him a case of his favorite beer. Ha! Hey, if I don't get him anything for Father's Day, I'll probably just do an IOU and combine it with his birthday, or tell him to get it himself.
My sister (best-est friend) is about to be a mommy again, another girl. Before June 24th, she's almost 3 cm, and her doctor said that if she doesn't increase by next week they are going to induce her. Since I've moved and everything I' haven't had a chance to make the baby something. I am soo happy that this time around the father isn't a dead beat. (another story for another time)
Well guys there's not that much really to talk about. I'm trying to think of stuff but it's not coming to me. If I think of something I shall return. Ha!

Okay so I have 2 dogs, Rebecca & Julie. Rebecca is a Chocolate Lab, and Julie is a Lab/Dachshund/Chihuahua Mix. I know weird mix and don't try to figure out who did the dirty deed first, it will just confuse you, lol. Well, Julie I'm also thinking she's part Cat and part Goat too. She lays on the top of the couch like a cat, and she's eating grass. Ha, I know, funny. I know, I know, some dogs eat grass to help sooth their stomach, like we drink hot tea, or ginger ale, or take Pepto. I just like to make fun of Julie sometimes, she's a funny dog, and funny looking too. I know rude, but since her breed mix, her bottom jaw is shorter so her tongue sticks out like a lizard but stays there.

(This is an old Photo but it works, see how her tongue is long. He He. If I find a better picture I'll edit it.)


She so cute, and funny. I love both my puppies.


(Julie)

Yesterday, me and a few extra friends had an argument with an old friend back from High School over Facebook. Well, she didn't say much but she had a hissy fit and deleted our comments. Basically she's 21 and on baby #3 and this is baby-daddy #3. Long disscusion I'm not saying anymore but she was being immature and delete ours comments when everyone else knows about it anyways. Plus, if she didn't want anyone to say anything about it, don't post it on Facebook where everyone in the world can read it. Whatever. I think its a little ridiculous. 21 years old, #3 baby, #1 & #2 are a year apart and this #3 is going to be a year apart too.

rain rain and oh did i mention rain

Well i was able to take a quick walk around the block with Hayden before it started pouring down AGAIN.....all week its supposed to be raining and Spencer is pissed....he is at work till Fri. and all of it is outside. He calls it fielding but a better way to describe it would be like Survival Man crossed with camping. Of course if I would to say camping in front of him he'd yell at me for calling it camping. LOL..Whatever. Anyways. Looks like a pizza/soda and movies with Hayden tonight. Hayden isnt too happy about the thunder though and don't blame him. A couple of thunders ago the power went out, but like just for a second. It was more like a light switch when kids are playing with it.

Like I said to someone earlier, "April Shower brings May flowers.....Not April Flowers brings May and June Showers". Also said, that Mother Nature is having a PMS moment.
My backyard looks like a have a stream running across the fence, and the street is getting there. But sadly, I'm used to it. I'm from Houston so I'm used to standing knee deep in water and know how to deal with it. These NC people are freaking out over a sprinkle. Ha! Paaleeasee!!
No but seriously this is another reason why I'm glad I moved away from Houston. To be away from the rain. Enough already. I would like some sun, or at least a sun behind the clouds. But no rain. Weird I know a couple of posts ago I was wanting rain but now...I think we've had enough. I can water my plants now.

Speaking of plants. The front yard construction is actually doing good. The rain is actually helping on this part. Washing away some dirt,sand, mud, little rocks. So now I can get to the bigger rocks I've left behind. Once we get our tax refund, we plan on getting some dirt/SOD and placing in down and getting some plants and putting them in the door way. I am so glad the hard part is done, well for up against the house. We still need to get the pillars and fencing down. The fencing should be easy, but the driveway pillars, ugh! I'll just wait till a day I'm pissed off and need something to hit or destroy. LOL I'll teach that brick!

Today...

Cooking dinner while Spencer is playing his Xbox. Bought to strangle the dog...just kidding. No, but seriously, Julie, the small one, we had to clip her nails since we are cheap and can't get them trimmed yet. Well I failed, she moved because she was freaking out and I cut a little too short. So got some flour and paper towel. Now, she's outside so I don't get blood on the carpet. We stopped the bleeding but still. Looks like I will just be trimming the bigger one, and taking the smaller one to get trimmed till she calms down. She acts like a tough dog but when it comes down to trimming nails and baths, (chicken shit).
Had fun while my parents were here. The only thing I didn't like was spoiling Hayden and the dogs. But hey, that's what they are for. They left yesterday and apparently their luggage never left.

One thing I would like to mention is Today's Disney is crap. It's not even Disney. Disney is like the Little Mermaid, Lion King, Dumbo. Instead of playing movies over and over and over. How about play the classics. What Disney himself made, what he dreamed of. I don't know where the company is coming up with these ideas that Hannah Montana or the damn Wizard show is Disney? Just makes me mad. I want Hayden to grow up knowing who Timon and Pumba is, and Ariel, and Belle, and can't forget about Cinderella, and Aurora.

Wow

Ha Ha Ha, that's funny. The Bump thinks that I was actually talking to them. It may have been about a few of them, but ha! Hilarious! They are obviously reading my statements all wrong. I may have said some harsh comments, but seriously how can't you be that rude to a woman who is worried about her unborn children. When I was pregnant with Hayden I was scared of foods that I might eat. So I researched everything and asked my doctors all sorts of questions. Apparently they haven't watched those TLC or medical shows where doctors diagnose the wrong symptoms. If something is being either injected or taken from your body your worried about the effects that happen to your body. Even vitamins, even those don't all work. AKA: Dr. Oz!! Whatever, Ladies think what you want to think. I don't care anymore.

Past 3 days Spencer had to work over night so been sleeping with the dogs. But he's able to come home today and he wants to go out drinking. His buddies at work are all going out to the bar, with my parents being here we have a babysitter. So taking advantage while we can. Then back to the home parties. LOL. He's on his way home, and I am sooo making him take a shower before I hug him. I'll give him a kiss but I'm holding my breath. LOL. Then out to eat and get something in our stomachs before we go out.

Research and Examine

Always look and examine toys. My mom bought Hayden a car parking lot. It was mainly to go with his Hot Wheels, but not made for Hot Wheels. Well, obviously the toy was cheaply made. We got it put together and by the same night he'd broken most of the attachments off. Sometimes buying the most expensive toys pay off in the long run. But at least he still has a nice collection of toys cars to play with.
I took my parents to the museum today and Hayden looked at some of the statues made of wax, and wasn't sure about them. He was trying to figure out if they were real or fake people. Well when I was doing those school field trips to wax museums and such they actually freaked me out a little bit too. I knew that they were fake but I was always afraid they would jump out and attack me or something. Still a little bit now, on some of them.
So far with my parents here has been very relaxing. I'm able to wash dishes, vacuum, laundry, etc. a lot faster...lol. Well, with the dogs I throw them outside anyways, but with Hayden I'm usually stop what I'm doing and tell him to stop, behave, pick this up, do this, etc. Now, I'm just saying Grandma hold on to him real quick so I can do this. And then I'm done.

Well, a couple months ago I was complaining about not having any rain. Well, since then I've gotten rain. Don't worry I'm not going to be complaining anytime soon. We've got rain day after day...hopefully now we can get some sun. To dry the ground a little bit. Well after my parents leave I've gotta get out in the front and get some more rocks. Since it rained the ground and dirt flattened/washed away so get the rocks will be easier, OR wait till we get some money and I can just build a flower garden over it. First I'm going to be needing a cutter attachment because right now the cutter drain flows right into the flower bed (aka dirt) so I've had to remove a brick to let the water drain.

thebump.com

Last night was interesting. Got into a fight over the internet on thebump.com. No matter what your background is, or what you did there's no reason to not care about your unborn children. Short story....this girl had to to the E.R. for breathing problems, she's pregnant with triplets and she was had to be given iodine and have a CT scan. The doctors said everything was safe. This woman was getting grilled about being worried about the iodine and radiation affecting her children.
There were tons of people who were caring for her and sending her thoughts and prayers but there were a select few (3-4) that were grilling her for posting about her experience and being worried about her children. Now from what I read her background wasn't that great for some. But no matter what your background is, you care and worry about your children. You do everything and anything in your power to protect them. If it calls for being worried so be it. It's the beginning of the rest of your life. Plain and simple. Some of these ladies that were grilling her, have never been pregnant before or even close so they have no right to say that she was over reacting. No, you don't have to be a parent to understand this feeling, it's common sense. It's the thing called Mama-Cub Syndrome. As my mom would say, well the mama-cub part...I just added the syndrome...lol.
Truthfully, I would do the same thing. You know there are "some'' doctors/nurses out there that may have not of received proper medical training. How are you supposed to trust these strangers you've never met and put your life and/or your children in their care. Yes, most of the time we have no choice and you have to wish and pray that, that doctor has had proper teachings.

Soooo........

Well, today went sorta fast. I had to take Spencer his phone charger this morning because he wanted to play games on it this morning and ran down the battery. Next Paycheck I will be buying him a car charger. Came home, watched my shows, did a load of laundry, and went outside and took down those eagles on the posts.
Now I am bored, planned on watching a movie or t.v. or something with Spencer but his ass couldn't stay awake for 5 minutes so I could load the dishwasher. And I'm not even close to going to bed. Weird, I know. Sooo, ya.
My parents and my brother are flying in tomorrow afternoon-ish. Hopefully I can get Spencer to mow the yard. If not I will be going out there and do it myself. 11:30-12 I will get out there if it looks like he's not doing anything. When he came home today, I told him I cleaned up the front and backyard so nothing would tear up the lawn mower and he would step in dog poo, he was like thanks for telling me to get to work. Well, yes, it was a hint, but I wasn't saying right then and there. He still didn't do it and went to change into PJ's. Sooo like I said, I'll mow in the morning.
On another note. Obama has screwed us again. That whole health care plan he thinks will change the world. Whatever. Loads of BULL SHIT. Spencer told me last night that because of him, our health care is going down. If I go off-post to a doctor more than 3 times in 6 months or something like that, we would have to pay out of pocket. But we can go to post as many times we want. Well, doctor appointments are no problem, excluding dentist. E.R. is pay out of pocket, and duh, dentist. But still. Obama needs to think before he makes choices. Isn't that what we are trying to teach our children?? Apparently his mother/father forgot that subject.
