Dream As If You'll Live Forever

Long time no talk

2010-05-21T00:37:00.002-04:00

So it's been a while since I've been on here, let me get you all up to date.

Mother's day was amazing Spencer got me a potted African violet that I will for sure kill if he hasn't already, and he got me a little box of chocolates which tasted amazing.

Nothing much has happened up until today, when I finally decided to go get my manicure and pedicure that I got for Christmas. I feel all nice and pampered, my nails are a bright orange which I think happens to be quite festive for the spring/summer season.

All is well that ends well.

Dancing With The Devil

2010-04-10T18:40:00.003-04:00

A couple days ago I finally had enough of my sister's attitude. She's one of those Christians who thinks that just because she goes to church on Sunday, she's free to do whatever she wants for the rest of the week. So finally I said something to her about the way she had been acting, and go figure she acted as if she did nothing wrong.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not the model christian, but then again I'm not claiming to be. My sister has pictures on her face book of herself posing with a bible, and then the next picture is her dressed like a slut, posing provocatively.

On top of that, she thinks everyone owes her, My grandmother recently quit working, and now has a full time job of being a baby sitter to a 5 year old all because if my sister is around too long bad things happen.

All in all I'm super upset still and just want this bullshit drama to end.

I Can't Be Lazy Forever

2010-04-07T13:44:00.002-04:00

After waking up somewhat early I realized that I have a lot to get done today and for the next few days until Sunday. I've got some more laundry to get done, dishes to do, floors to vacuum and mop, and trash to take it. When looking at this list written down, it doesn't look that bad, but when finally putting it into action it looks terrifying.

So I think I'm going to tackle dishes,laundry, and a bit of garbage for today, then see what I feel like later on in the evening.

Happy Cleaning!

Spread So Thin

2010-04-05T04:21:00.002-04:00

Right now I feel as if I could just snap, between money problems,housing issues and Spencer throwing a fit at least once a night, I just don't know how much more I can handle. Contrary to popular belief, I am not super mom and I can't magically fix everything. The tantrums Spencer is throwing are seriously wearing me down, it seems to get worse every night. I don't know what's causing them and I don't know how to fix it.

All is quiet as of now, I got Spencer settled and back to bed.

Maybe I should do the same.

Good night/morning.

Taking Care of Business

2010-03-31T16:06:00.003-04:00

I realize it's a little late in the afternoon, but I feel mildly accomplished. I've put a ton of clothes away and still working on more. I'm going to return pop bottles shortly to get rid of the clutter, do some dishes, clean up the living room and then relax for a bit before making dinner.

Today seems like it's going to be a decent day.

Chin Up Darling It's Almost Over

2010-03-31T13:41:00.003-04:00

So today, at precisely 8am my car was picked up by the tow truck. It's about time that POS gets fixed. The family has been trying to fix it for the past two weeks and still nothing has happened with it. I've been considering sending it to Buick heaven where it could rest in peace, but I just don't have the money for a new or used car.

On top of that, with my mom's divorce being final on the 19th of April we've had to start moving all of our stuff out of the house. Well most of my stuff has been out for a while now (Seeing as I don't live at home), but there are just a few things I would like to keep.

On another note, I went to the dentist yesterday. The experience was nice, as was Dr.Thomas. I would seriously recommend her to anyone in the Flint area. After returning home I was a bit tired and just laid around playing Pokemon Emerald on my laptop via an emulator. I forgot how addicting that game was. After the Novocaine wore off my mouth was sore due to the fact that some of my gum tissue was irritated. On a good note my teeth are well on their way to being fixed, and soon my wisdom teeth will be removed.

It's Potty Time!

2010-03-25T18:23:00.002-04:00

So I purchased Spencer's first potty. I decided to go with the Fisher Price Precious Planet Froggy Friend Potty.

I'm hoping to get him acclimated with the potty before actually making him use it. When we were in the store he actually gave the frog a kiss, which was a good sign. That's his way of choosing which things he wants and which ones he doesn't.

I hope that potty training him isn't going to be as hard as some people say it will be. And I hope everything runs smoothly.

Wish me luck!

Television Shows Make Life Hard

2010-03-21T17:30:00.002-04:00

So I'm sitting here on the couch, and I admit that I am indulging in all of the shows involving babies. Watching these shows is probably the worst thing I could possibly do, I'm already wanting to have another child. Fortunately I have made a firm decision that I will wait for Spencer to be potty trained. One child in diapers is alright, two? Eh not so much. I thought that after having my own child I might be immune to the tear jerking scenes, unfortunately that is not the case. I find myself wondering what I would do if I were in the shoes of those families. Which in turn makes me cry. (Yes I admit to crying.) For now I shall continue to indulge my baby urges with the television shows and lives of others.

What an eventful day

"Chaos in the world brings uneasiness, but it also allows the opportunity for creativity and growth" - Tom Barrett

Today I got my copy of New Moon, I had a hard time choosing which set to get, and in the end I bought the 3 disc deluxe edition. After buying the movie from Target, I went to Walmart where I bought a couple of the shirts, One of them was the Eclipse shirt, and the other was a Forks high school shirt. I couldn't be happier with the purchases I have made today.

On another note (which happens to be completely different),Spencer woke up today around 2am screaming bloody murder. He was telling me he had a stomach ache along with a headache and I felt so bad that I couldn't do anything to make him feel better. Seeing as he is teething, about two hours before he had woke up I gave him some infant Tylenol. Apparently it didn't work. So I got a bright idea to put him in the bath tub. I kid you not, as soon as his feet touched the water, his tears stopped and he began laughing. I've got no idea what made his mood change suddenly, all I know is that it worked. I let him soak for about an hour, then dried him off and put him to bed. The apartment has been silent ever since.

In other news, I have decided to start doing Yoga and for the sake of learning each day I will try a new position and report back to you all. I also am apparently on a never ending quest to finish Spencer's first baby blanket which I have been working on for over 3 weeks now. I'd say the blanket is about 1/7th of the way finished. I intend to have the blanket done soon, so I'll have to kick my butt in gear.

Wish me luck.

2010-03-19T16:22:00.002-04:00

Today apparently decided to be one of those horrible days, and unfortunately I wasn't notified. My car decided today, of all days, that it didn't want to start. I already have to bypass the anti-theft because it went out and I can't seem to find a replacement part. So after bypassing that fuse, I went to turn the car on, and nothing happened. It just sat there. So now I'm stuck here with a baby and no car, and no one seems to be answering their phones.

How on earth can this day get any better?

The Aftermath

2010-03-18T21:34:00.002-04:00

"Nobody can go back and start a new beginning, but anyone can start today and make a new ending."

Finally got home from an extremely busy day. Dr Lori Thomas was super nice, best dentist I've ever met. Found out that I need one wisdom tooth pulled, and the other three need to be surgically removed. I also made an appointment for the 30th to get my 4 teeth fixed which will be awesome. Unfortunately I was scolded for constantly sipping on soda during the day and now I must switch to drinking water. Yay me.

After the dentist, I took my son (Spencer) and my niece to the park where we played for about an hour. Thankfully my niece is old enough to help Spencer make his way around the park, she just loves to push him on the baby swings. After the park we made our way to the Mcdonalds just down the road. I can honestly say I'm tired of going to that Mcdonalds (On elms road in swartz creek,MI).My niece wanted a shamrock shake which are still being advertised on their menu. Well when I got the shakes I noticed they weren't green, so I took them back up to the counter to get new ones. The cashier told me that they put vanilla on top because other customers don't like mint shake mixed with theirs. So I told them I don't like vanilla in my mint shake and she got an attitude. So I asked for the manager, and he told me that they were sold out of Shamrock shakes. Well why on earth would the employee tell me there was only vanilla on the top if there wasn't any shamrock shake in the bottom. Thanks for lying to me. So I got myself a caramel frappe and my niece an M&M Mcflurry and all was well in the world.

After playing at Mcdonalds for an hour or so I finally took my niece back home, and came home myself. Where I put Spencer to bed and am now attempting to relax for the night.

All's well that ends well.
Goodbye for now,

Oh dear

"Each time we face our fear, we gain strength, courage, and confidence in the doing."

T minus 2 hours until the dentist appointment. I'm terrified, but ready to go.

Again,wish me luck.

Day One

2010-03-18T02:30:00.000-04:00

"Children are one third of our population and all of our future."

Today was a mildly mellow day, I spent my entire day with the love of my life(aka my son). While I was bringing dinner to my son, out of the blue he walked right to me. It was the first actual time that he managed to walk by himself. I couldn't have been more proud of him. Of course right after he walked to me he plopped down on his rear end, and as usual he refuses to do it again while other people are watching.

For the first time since I've had him, I realized that my little boy is growing up, and just thinking about that made me sad. I'm aware that he's only 16 months old and that he's got more than enough years of childhood, but this means that he is one step closer to being his own person and soon enough he will no longer need me.

In other news, I decided to make barbecue ribs and garlic mashed potatoes. Which happened to come out quite nicely. Other than that nothing exciting has happened other than the fact that tomorrow I have a dentist appointment which is really only an exam. Tomorrow I find out what's going on, and what all I'll need to have done. I know for sure my wisdom teeth will need to be pulled, otherwise I am in the dark.

Wish me good luck for tomorrow.
