HOLDING AT 29!

It's been a while since my last post, so enjoy.

Tursday July 29th was my 29th Birthday!
Since I am regreting the fact that I will be 30 next year, I have decided to hold at 29. So there will be NO MORE BIRTHDAYS FOR ME! lol
It was a pretty good day. Branden and Ian gave me a Birthday card before I left for work and we made Enchiladas for supper. Craig joined us and Branden put my *NEW* ceiling fan up for me while Ian and I went to Grandma's. My gifts for the day included a new fan for the living room, a card with money, hand soap and lotion gift set and money from my mom. My Grandmother is also cooking for me on Wednesday 8/4 because she said that "She doesn't have time this week". I love elderly people...they just say whatever they want! She cracks me up!
Friday July 30th was Pamela's 29th Birthday so I decided to serenade her with my Birthday song. BTW- It was horrible, but she thought is was cute so it will be okay.
After work, Pamela and I went to Wee Runs and then headed to Outback for a to go order. Finally, I was home. I had dinner and headed to bed.
Saturday was an good day! Ian and I re-arranged his room. He was really cute imitating me pushing the dresser and grunting too! Daddy played ball all day...so it was just me and Ian, but Nana called and she said "She was coming to get him". Nana picked him up around 6:45 and I headed to get my nails done. Then I was off to Grandma's. Branden called and said that he was on his way home at 7:45 but didn't show up til 11:30. I LOVE it when he comes home DRUNK AS HELL and also love it when it takes him four hours to get home from Cary (because they don't know where they are). I think he will be driving or NOT playing in the future! This is BS!
Sunday- we picked Ian up from Nana's and that was about it. This is what I love about Sunday....Lazy days!

What's a girl to do?

Today is Wednesday and it has been one crappy week so far!
Monday was okay with the exception of bill collectors calling all day long.
It seems like money is very scarce lately. However, it could be because we have spent almost $800 on Branden's truck in the last couple of weeks. I honestly don't know what to do anymore!It seems like debt never disappears. I work all week and it is all gone within 15 mins. I spent all day Tuesday at the college registering for fall classes. MCC is the most unorganized college I think I have ever seen, but it is also the only one that I could get into, so I won't complain to much. Today was a good day at work, but it was very busy. Sabrina was out of the office, which meant double work for me! Once I returned home, I found out that my son wore a dress at daycare. Yes, that's right...he put on a dress from the dress up center. I have blackmail for future use.BTW-They said that he was a handsome boy and a very pretty girl! Anyway, tomorrow is my birthday and I am not looking forward to it.
I will be 29 years old, and the sad part is that I still don't know where I'm going.

Tricky Tuesday!

I left work at 4pm, got Ian from daycare and went to the bank.
The bottom fell out just as Ian and I were walking in the door at home.
We played baseball and he watched his movie while I prepared dinner.
We had potato soup and grilled cheese...It was yummy.
Billy called after dinner and said that his blood pressure was 83/50.
He was told to go to the ER, but he is just as stubborn as Branden and I.
YOU CAN'T TELL THAT MAN ANYTHING!LOL

Susan and Zach got home and she called to let us know that his BP was still low, but he is outside doing some things and now hears a ringing in his ears. How hard is it to go to the doctor, when you don't feel right??? I know that I should practice what I preach, but he is diabetic and has a defibulator. We asked Susan if she would watch Ian on the 31st, so we can make plans for my birthday...but I really dont think she is going to ask for a weekend off. There goes my plans for a night out with friends. Oh well, Maybe Grandma and Dingding will help out again!

To beat it all, Berkley just called and said that Jennifer was doing a class at the YMCA when she passed out, hit her head and was taken to the ER. What is it with everyone? I am really tired of stupidity. You cannot take weight loss pills, give yourself shots, exercise and NOT eat!!! YOU WILL PASS OUT!!!! You would think a nurse would know that.

What else could go wrong???? Maybe I should'nt have asked that question!
UGH- I am having a bad day...I think I will go to bed now that I have blown off some steam and made a complete donkey of myself! lol
For all of my followers...I know that you know how I feel!


Marvelous Monday!

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.
