Well rewinding to Friday...Tanner had his second field trip, my first one. They got to go to to Annie's pretzels in the mall and they got to make pretzels. Which I thought was cool, but then we informed we couldnt take pictures, because its against mall policy. I was like WTF!! I was little ticked off. I snuck some anyway. I looked all over the place where it was posted that it was against "policy" but I couldnt find it anywhere. I mean if it was some sort of important policy shouldnt it be posted. Just my opinion. They had fun, I really thought it was cool that they got to make pretzels. Other than that Friday was uneventful and boring. Saturday was kind of the same way. It was beautiful outside we had the windows in the house open, and we were pretty lazy. Which is not a good thing, I had a list I wanted to get done. I didnt get not one thing on my list done. NOT ONE! I am so a slacker. I mean none of it was so important that I cant do it later, but I really wanted to accomplish some of it. Sighs...
But today was a differant story. He was invited to Christopher's first birthday party. (That's hint to post some pics Beck) Tanner had so much fun. He loves to play with kids. And there were a lot of them. He had a good ol' time. Loving cake and ice cream and he got to go outiside (mother nature decided to be nice and let it stop raining) he kicked a ball around for little while, and noticed the trampoline. And yes I let him get one. He had a blast, he didnt want to get off. All the older kids were careful when they got on. They held his hand and let him jump. They made sure that he got to jump without being getting trampled. Then when it was time to go he got so upset. He cried and cried, "Jumping, jumping" I felt bad for leaving. On the ride home he kept crying, and he fell asleep saying "jumping" so now I've got to look into getting him a trampoline. Tanner had a blast, thanks for inviting us Beck. Now I've got to work on some school stuff and try to get ahead of them game. There is still so much to do. I feel like I'll never get caught up. That scares me. I mean there is so much going on I feel like ther
e are not enough hours in any day for me to get everything done. I get scared that I'm going to fall behinde. I'm scared that I'm going to get stressed out and my brain is going to explode and most of all I feel like I'm going to miss out on so much stuff with Tanner. And that makes me double think everything that I'm doing. I know that it
will all work out, but I still find myself double guessing the choices I make. Okay I'm off for now. Hopefully I'll have sometime to post tomorrow.Labels: The kid

I've noticed lately that I haven't been keeping up with my blogging like I use to. I use to be good with daily updates and pictures, now I think I post, I mean really post maybe twice a week. That really kinda bums me out because it reminds me how hectic my life really has become. I mean I'm gone from home from 7-7, and when I get home I have to get Tanner ready for bed, do my homework, and get everything ready for the next day. Its a never ending cycle. Then on the weekends its time to clean and spend time with Tanner so anything else has become less important, and I hate that because I love blogging. Its one of the true relaxing things I get to do. I will have to try to set away a time to blog everyday again. Even if it right before bed. I know other people do this all the time, and you know what I really admire them, because its killing me. Everyday I think about quiting my job. When I started it was only suppose to be temporary, but the extra money has helped us and I love working with kids. But I almost never see Scott anymore. And its taking a toll on us. We never have any alone time. Even when he's off on Tuse and Wed. I'm in bed by 10 so its like I only see him for 3 hours, and when I 'm off Sat and Sun he sleeps late because he doesn't get home 'til almost 3am. I try to wait up for him but most of the time it doesn't work.
He was home last night and I fell asleep by 11. No matter how hard I try I just cant stay awake. My body is worn out. I never get to sleep in, even on my days off I'm up at 730 with Tanner. I'm lucky if I get to take a nap sometime during the day. And to top it off, I'm picking up 2 more classes starting tomorrow. So I'll have 6 classes. UGH!! Yes I'm just whining now. But I just needed to get that out. I know it will be worth when I get a better job. But right now I'm having to remind myself why I'm doing this. I know it will all work out, and everything good comes with some kind of sacrifice, but.....
all the time. He loves to dance and sing, and he is very creative. I hope he keeps that he keeps that as he gets older. I love watching him with his little JoJo figures. He'll set them up on the table and play like they're talking to each other. He hides them in the same place so only he knows where they are. He's also became quite the comedian, and he thinks being funny and cute can keep him out of trouble. We're having to nip that in the bud. I mean who is he to think that cuteness can save him from time out? (It does sometimes...I cant help it). When we went out for my birthday, he was throwing all the crayons on the floor so I told him in my "mommy" voice that was enough, and he proceeded to tell me "You Enough!" All of us were shocked but hid our smiles long enough for me to tell him he doesn't tell mommy that. Whether or not it sank in I don't know. Its hard not to laugh when he says stuff like that. I want to tell him to stop mocking me, but thanks to Scott and and Stewie from Family Guy, he walks around say "Stop mocking me!" likes it a joke. (Told you comedian) If someone would have told me 3 years ago parenthood would be so entertaining I would have been yeah right, but man its the best. Even with the dirty diapers, the mocking, and early mornings, and the never ending Dora and Deigo, its the greatest thing I have ever experienced. And I guess that makes everything else worth it.Labels: Just stuff, The kid
Some of you may have notice I put this button on my sidebar. Its for Blingo. Its another search engine. Its powered by Google, but its also connected with Publishers Clearing House. So when you search for stuff on the net you can win stuff. Zoot just won $5000, because someone who signed up under her won. Which is too cool. So if you want to sign up, use my button. Then we can both win. They give away $1000 every Thurs. and they are giving away a 42" plasma tv. So if you use google alot, you should try Blingo.Labels: Just stuff

Yes, I think we are all getting better. Tanner has been really clingy today, not that I dont enjoy it, but its not normal for him to be so clingy, and he's asleep already which really isnt normal. I'm hoping its nothing but just being tired from school. Just like me. I have midterms Wed. I'm tired all the time now. Ugghh. I need a vacation. A real one. My mom told us that for Christmas next year...they're taking us to Disney World. How cool of a Christmas present? How cool of a vacation is that? I cant wait!!Labels: Just stuff, The kid

Yes, today I turned 30. Wow. I guess today starts the first day of the rest of my grown up life. Sometimes I wish I could be this little again...enjoying my birthday cake and not worrying if I'll gain weight.

Tanner loves to hold out his arms and say "Come to me! Come to me!" Then he just hugs you. Makes for a great birthday. Its been a little while since I posted a new picture of Charlie. So here you go, he's a cutie now and he's gotten so big.

And here it is. He's been a little terror this weekend. I guess we finally hit the terrible twos. Oh boy. He has been throwing some major temper tantrums. I try to do like his dr said and ignore them, but it got to the point, that everytime I said no he throws one. So he's been spending a lot of time in time out. It makes me feel bad, but I'm standing my ground. I do not want him to be on of those kids everyone talks about. We all know who I'm talking about. The ones who tell their parents no, the ones who scream and kick in the stores...he will not be one of those. So he's been mad at me today. After his nap though he's been a pretty good kid. He's walking around saying football, football...and Kristi taught him to say "Bears Suck" since that's who I decided to go for. She goes for the Colts, I go for the the other team. We dont really like either team, so we just picked. Right now the Colts are winning, by like 2 points. The half time show just got over, and I was really disappointed . It was really boring, and the commercials aren't all that great. The best one was the first one. Oh well they cant be great every year. But its a bit boring to me. But of course this is the only time we watch fooball. And my team hasn't been to the Superbowl since the year before last
, and they lost. In other news, some how I failed to mention that my sister has come down for awhile. And we love having her here. Tanner loves having his "Kissy" here. He gets upset if she goes somewhere he cant see her. Its adorable. He's still doing good at school. He loves playing with all 5 of his classmates. Bizkit is still doing good. He' s been getting up and running around. He's still resting alot and eating just a little. But he's getting there. I'm so waiting for next Friday. I'm off, Scott's off, and my parents will be here for my birthday. OH GOD!! I'll be 30. I'm so getting old. Well its time for my little one to get a bath and for to get everything ready tomorrow. School, work, all the good stuff we do.Labels: Just stuff, The kid

So this is the post where all of you will think I'm an awful person. This is Bizkit. We bought him after we got married. He was our baby. Then we found out we were pregnant. He was still our baby for 8 months, and we really tried to keep him in the house after Tanner was born, but he was SO hyper. And thats the nature of his breed. So after trying to train him to stay out of the bassinet, we decided to make him an outside dog. He has a huge yard to run, plenty of shade, and a swimming pool. Scott made sure to go out and play with him everyday. So fast foward to new jobs and school full time....and a lot of miscommunicaton. Some how we forgot to feed him. Yes we are awful, and I dont mean for one or two days, more like 4 or 5. Scott thought I was feeding him and I thought Scott was feeding him. So the night before yesterday I told Scott to bring Bizkit in because it was going to be really cold. Well when he got out there Bizkit could barely walk. He looked awful. He literally looks like a skeleton with fur. Its awful. I really thought he was going to die. We are awful people. How did we forget something like this. Do feed our dog? We brought him in, and cleaned him up and now we're feeding him with a bottle and cooking high fat and protein meals. We've done lots of research and we're trying to nurse him back to health. I've been crying all day. If you asked me this morning if I thought he was going to make, I would say no. I sat in the bathroom with him all morning trying to feed him and get him to drink , and he wouldnt. I got home from work and sat there and rubbed pedilite on his lips trying to get him drink. And guess what he did, then he ate. And now he's walking around. Slowly, but he's walking around. Now as if he would go to the bathroom, I would be so happy. I'm still so scared. And I feel guilty as hell. We dont deserve animals. So I know I'm not one to ask for prayers but if you can say a little one for Bizkit. We love him and he is part of our family.Labels: Nothing but family
