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.

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.
