Hi! And welcome to my blog. I don’t promise to be prefect, but I can promise that I will entertain you with my life as a mommy to an amazing little boy, a wife to an extraordinary man, and a student trying to get through college with some amount of sanity left. I consider myself the luckiest woman in the world to have these boys (and one very stupid cat) in my life. So this is my world. Sit back and enjoy!

Ouch

Is quite rough on the ol' pocket book!! paint: 88 bucks, carpet: 100 bucks, couch/love seat covers: 90 bucks, paint suplies: 50 bucks. Add that all up and its over 300 dollars. Thank God for tax returns!!

now that we have the paint, we need to get to it! I *think* we are going to start the challenge tomarrow, and I can not wait!

And I really hate having the car somedays. not only did i have to go out in the icky weather with drew to drop daddy off at work, i have to go get the oil changed, drop off brownies at his work, then pick him up tonight! Blah. lol

Pardon our mess

I am so spoiled nayt got me a new camera, and I am in LOVE!! its a beautiful Nikon Cool Pix L100, it has 10 mega pix and a 15x zoom. it is just simply amazing!

Also, I think I have created a puffs monster. really. is there such thing as PA, puffs anonymous, with a bunch of crazy moms chasing their pre-toddlers around a padded room, and they *try* to sit there, "Hi, My name is Drew." "Hi Drew"  "I love banana puffs." Yep. I can see it now.

We are slowly but surely redoing our house. Nayt and I were talking in the car yesterday and it is like ever big check we add a little more. Our house doesnt really look like a college dorm room anymore, and its really very bitter sweet! I have banned the tin beer signs to the kitchen and so it is the "theme" in there, and though i dont love it, WWIII would start if i didnt put them somewhere. We are hoping to start painting next week sometime! But here are some before and afters as of right now:

Happiness is....

A Clean house, homework done, good music on, Drew and Tiki on my lap, and already knowing what I am going to make for dinner!! Nayt should be home in about half an hour, I am going to shower, and hopefully sometime tonight we can watch the last disk of Season One of True Blood!!

So I have totally been bitten by the True Blood bug, (hehe no pun intended!) granted its not for everyone, but there is nothing sexier then sexy vampires! Edward has nothing on Eric, or even Bill!! Plus I think Sookie is just about the perfect heroine. not only is she cute, she is strong and brave. I love that the main female lead isnt some pansy. But even more so then the show, I am loving the books. They totally crack me up. And I am was so excited on monday when nayt bought me the last 4 i need to read! I am just hoping it doesn ruin the next few season of the show. *sigh*  But I am willing to be disappionted so  long as they keep Eric aroud! :P

Oh on another not completely we are getting our kitchen sink fixec (hopefully) tomarrow morning!! I am very excited to have a working sink again. I washed dishes in a big 5 gal bucket today and it was a major pita!

I have also gave in to pressure and bought drew some Gerber Graduate puff in banana and peach and you would think that this poor kid was starving they way he downs them!! They are teh best thing! I gave some to him today when i was taking a psych quiz and he was quiet for the whole thing! He did good with cheerios but adores these little things! Also we gave in and bought him a toy puppy dog at Bi-mart the other day, and it is the first toy I have actually seem him become attached too. He loves Puppy. Right now I am watching in bounce in beat with the music i have playing (which is actually on our amazing new tv. pretty much having Pandora streaming through the PS3 is the coolest thing ever!!) But Drew loves music! He will now sing along  with me if i am singing. He really likes disney music and Wicked, the Musical. Yep I start them early!!

my Dear little Man

is growing way way to fast. I dont want to admit that we are on the down side to one. He is such a great little boy, right now he is playing with Tiki's paw, and our cat is just laying there taking it. They really are best buds. I got Drew some puffs today, that equaled success. Ok now Tiki just walked away so he took off his house shoe. very nice.   He is also screaching. all the time! We were in McDonalds today and he wouldnt use his "indoor voice" so the old people next to us kept glaring. what are we supose to do??!!
But i love this little boy. he really is my whole wide world. I really truely can not begin to imagine what life would be like without him.

A change of heart

So the last few weeks I have been feeling really down, almost to the piont where I felt almost as depressed as I did a few years ago, and that is not a path I want to travel again. it wasnt fun. and i think the thing that makes it worst is that i didnt have an idea i was acting that way, but nayt brought it to my attention on friday. So after a day of tears and being pathedic I see I need to change.

 So, here is my plan: from here on out, I am going to cut my laptop internet time in half. it is sucking me in and I spend waay to much time on it. I am going to try to shower every morning, it starts my day out a little bit better, even if I do put on sweat pants again, at least i am clean and i dont feel quite so much like a big fat frumpy blob! I am going to do better at keeping the house clean, not only for nayt's sake, but with Drew being mobile now I HAVE to keep it clean so that he is not getting into things a 7 month old shouldnt be. Plus I feel better with it clean. I am also going to focus on the good, and try to get outside more then once a week. I need fresh air, and i can not wait until it is warm enough to take Drew to the park. now that he is big enough for swings it will be fun. Also I am going to start painting the house, so that way i have something that i can see i am doing! The picture is my new quote of the week:" Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you dont have, but remember that what you do have is among the things you only hoped for. " it is so fitting for how I have been feeling. so totally fitting.

i can not also believe that my baby boy is now 7 months old. that means we are on the down side towards one!! Yikes! I am already thinking about his party and i can not wait! it will be so very cute! i think we have narrowed down to the theme of barn yard cowboy! it is going to be great. now i just hope we know where we are going to be living! I never ever thought nayt working at bi-mart would have us moving all around! They are telling him within the next 6 months if not sooner, we will be leaving Baker!! I just want to know where the heck we are going to be at because I am hoping to be applying to nursing school in the fall!

i am not sitting here in my clean living room, watching the Bachelor. Why I have no clue, its not like i dont have drama in my life, but its amusing! so as a parting gift, I leave you a picture so discusting adorable
it makes my heart melt!

yep, our baby is going to be a rock star!!
