I never thought I would be a blogger but I'm glad I tried it out. It took sometime to get used to it and now I can't stop. This is about the day to day excitements of being a mom, wife, daughter, friend, or just a plain woman doing her thing.
Thanks for reading. Have a nice day!**

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.
September 15, 2010
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.

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
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
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 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
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...
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.
August 25, 2010
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.
August 24, 2010
Good Morning!
I got soo many Birthday wishes from my friends and I'm glad that I so loved.

Spencer is funny, and Rain is not

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....
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
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.
August 4, 2010
Just another day in paradise....
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.
August 3, 2010
Yet another one
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
July 26, 2010
- 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
July 24, 2010
Trying not to laugh
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??
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
July 13, 2010
Tuesday Tuesday Tuesday
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.
July 6, 2010
Let's get better
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.
July 5, 2010
I'm a SAHM because....
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)
July 2, 2010
Sick....still
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.
July 1, 2010
Lets stop getting sick...please
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.
