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.
