Yesterday was Monday...I think that's all I need to say!
Work went well, but I made it at exactly 8am.(I have got to get up earlier)
The power went off around 12:30, so I left and went back to the Health Dept to have my Tb skin test read. It was a negative! I called the office and Sabrina gave me good news. She said "If the power is not on by 2pm, we are leaving". I called back at ten mins til 2 and the power had just come back on. I had some really bad thoughts because I was so looking forward to an afternoon nap!lol
I went back to work til 5pm, then headed home and made dinner. Grandma and Geraldine joined us but the Chicken Pie sucked! Apparently, I used the wrong kind of flour. NOTE: Self rising flour is needed for Chicken Pie
Anyways, Branden gave Ian a bath and we tucked him in.
I watched THE CLIENT LIST on Lifetime and it was GREAT!
I just love Jennifer! :O)

I need sleep please!
Well, Last week was a long week!
I had my usual work schedule and made an appearance at the County Health Dept to get my TB skin test Friday afternoon. Shortly after work on Friday, I was scrambling to get food ready for our cookout that was planned by my hubby and his friend John. We had several people over including Misty, John, Jaylin, Berkley, Jenn, Brayden, Craig, Jaylin and Kayden. After supper, I stuck to my schedule by giving our son a bath and tucking him into bed. I was exhausted, but still entertained while Branden and John sat outside and drank GOD only knows how many beers. It was almost 2am before I got in the bed, but I enjoyed talking to Misty.
Saturday, Branden was up bright and early for another game day. Ian woke up right after he left, so we got up and ate a bowl of Honey Nut Cheerios and played a little. We were still tired so we took a short nap and slept til 10. (I enjoyed every minute of it). We took a bath and headed to Grandma's for a cookout in Franklinville. Carolee (Grandma's sister) was 87 years old. Ian had a blast running up and down the wheelchair ramp, and another little boy turned on the roto scooter and ran over a plate of bananna pudding and almost ran over a little girl before it was stopped. It was only 2pm and a HECK of a day.
On the way home, it rained so hard that I could not see 2 feet in front of me! Needless to say....we parked in a parking lot for 20 mins waiting on the storm to pass. Branden's games were cancelled, and he was on his way home too!
Later that night, Branden and Ian were playing in his room. Ian was jumping up and down and jumped right into the corner of the dresser. He gashed his head open and Branden started freaking out. I checked him over, cleaned it up and realized that it was not deep enough for stitches. Thank you Jesus!
Ian stayed with Grandma and DingDing (Geraldine) for a couple of hours while we had dinner with April, Chad and Dave for Chad's Brithday! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BOYFRIEND!
After dinner we headed to Grandma's and found Ian fast asleep on her lap...He was so tired. We took our little man home and put him to bed. April, Chad and Dave stopped by and stayed for a little while, but after that it was lights out for me!
Sunday was okay, Branden let me sleep til 12:50. Once I was up, I headed for the shower. Branden left to go play basketball with the boys and Ian and I went to Grandma's. We made steak, potatoes, green beans and salad for dinner. After dinner we headed home, for our usual routine. Night Night Sweet Boy!
I laid down, watched Army Wives and hated the thought of work on Monday.

It's been a while!
I have been very busy, so it has been a while since my last post.
In the last couple of weeks, a lot has happened. My High School friend, Talia Leonard Oxendine was laid to rest. May her family and children find forgiveness in their hearts and remember the good times that they shared with her. Branden and I reunited with old friends, Misty and John who have a precious little girl of their own. We also shared the 4th of July holiday with friends Andy, his daughter Kaylin, Steve and Alicia. Just this weekend we took a trip to Myrtle Beach, for Branden's softball tourney which was his first weekend back in the game. There were no broken bones, so I think we did okay! However, checking into the hotel or not checking into the hotel was a nightmare! We had been in a car for several hours with 2 cranky kids who were just ready to get some pool time, and I had to argue with the hotel manager.
Finally, we were checked in and by the kiddie pool.
Ian and Nathan had a wonderful time and I enjoyed watching them.
Oh....to be a kid again!
Branden played ball all day Saturday, so the kids and I took a trip to Build A Bear, where I spent $90. Who knew that 2 stuffed doggies would cost that much? We went back to the hotel and played in the pool and splash park, then headed upstairs to get ready for an afternoon at Family Kingdom. Ian and Nathan rode rides and Nathan got a tatoo. Yeah, that right....he got some new ink! (as he called it). We played several of the games which Nathan was very good at. I think he won a prize everytime. After all of this, we headed to Mickey D's for some food. Ian ate all of his fries on the way back to the hotel...so he must have been hungry. It started to rain, and Branden's team lost so we headed upstairs to the bowling alley and arcade. Whew! Sunday morning....I was ready to come home! I think I need a vacation from vacation, but atleast the kids had FUN! :O)

He's a BIG BOY!
Today is Tuesday, only the 2nd day of the week!
I woke up this morning with a tickle in my throat and my ears hurting.
BTW- Branden and Ian are getting sick too!
I think we need meds to get rid of this mess :(
Ian slept til 7:20 this morning, so I had to wake him up.
He was not a happy camper, he really wanted to sleep a little longer. He also did not want to change into his clothes for daycare. However, he got over it and started to play before his Daddy was ready to go. My little man is getting so big. Branden called me this morning and said "Ian walked into daycare, into his class, sat down in the floor and started playing with the other kids". Wow! where have the past 19 months gone? Is he really not a baby anymore?
Today was a good day a work. I got some GREAT news from MCC! Turns out that I have been accepted into the LPN Program, which makes me very happy! Classes start in August and I can't wait.

Monday
Well,yesterday was definately Monday!
I did not want to get out of bed and to beat it all...I think I am getting sick!
I went to work and worked until 5pm.
When I picked Ian up from daycare, he was sitting in the floor with a book.
My little man loves to read books!
We gathered his pictures and headed home.
Ian had a brownie and milk for snack
Daddy was just in time! Daddy came home and spent a little time with Ian before he had his afternoon nap. I decided to cook supper. I made Hamburger Helper, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob and peas. Uncle Craig joined us and then it was playtime. Ian and Daddy played outside while I cleaned up the kitchen. They came in and Ian splashed in the tub a little while, got his pj's on and then we watched his favorite show. Where has the day gone? It was bedtime for Ian.He waved bye bye to the Backyardigans and headed to his room. He pushed in his movie and reached his arms out ready for bed. He watched a little TV and he was out like a light! For some reason, my husband thinks he will be able to play in a tourney at Mytle Beach on 7/9/10, so I spent the rest of my night looking for a hotel to ease his mind. I honestly do not think he will be able to play, but I can handle a beach trip! After all of that, I was exhausted....off to bed I went.
Night Night :O)

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!
HAPPY FATHER'S DAY BRANDEN!
Today was a very busy day for all of us. Branden got up bright and early and went to Hinkle to trim the hedges for Craig. Ian and I got up a little later and headed to Hardees for breakfast. We ordered our food and took Daddy a large sweet tea. Then we were on our way to Grandma Liz's house to eat our breakfast with her. A little while later, we went to the grocery store and started lunch for Daddy. We made his favortite meal for Father's Day. He was surprised! After eating, we went home and Ian gave Branden his card with included a $25 giftcard to Home Depot. Ian was really excited about passing out gifts, so he also decided to give him the things that he made for his daddy at daycare. He placed each item in Branden's lap for him to view. Once Branden looked at the pictures, he laid them on the couch. However, Ian put them back in Branden's lap for him to view again! He was sooo cute! Ian also told him daddy "Happy Father's Day" or atleast something that sounded like it!

Look at all of this stuff!
Saturday-Here we go again!
We were up bright and early, after Sabrina called to say "I am turning on your road, are you up?" Whose idea was this yard sale anyway? lol
We got EVERYTHING set up and then it was SALE, SALE SALE!
We made a total of $380.00 which made my day!
We also made a donation to Goodwill b/c that stuff was not coming back in my house!
Today was a good day....all we need now is REST!
Friday was the first day of the yardsale and I was running on 3 hours of sleep! Branden and Zach helped me get the tables set up and helped to move the stuff outside. Ian slept til 9:30, so I decided to keep him at home with me. He had a blast playing with all of the toys he never played with....until they were in the yardsale and splashing around in his pool!
Overall, today was a good day! I made over $100.00 at the yardsale and got to spend time with the family. I loved my day off :O)
Thursday was my last day of work for the week!
Once I left there was a long list of things to do.
I picked up Ian from daycare, went to walmart, went by Hinkle Street, and picked up supper before returning home. Branden was busy too! He mowed both Hinkle and our yard, he also got tables and racks from Diane's for the yard sale.
After all of that, we still had our normal routine of playtime, bathtime, pajama time and THE BACKYARDIGANS!
However, Tonight was a little different, Zach stayed the night with us to help me in the morning. Throughout the night, Ian must have had some bad dreams! He woke several times and would not go back to sleep. Finally, I got up and sat with him in the living room, finally at 3am I put him back in his crib and turned on his movie- he fell fast asleep!
