Trash -

So last night we are driving up the street and Jaiden always points to the cars and says "Car" well he pointed to the trash can and he said "car" I said, "no, Jaiden that is a trash can" and then Jaiden said "Trash" it was so cute so his new word is TRASH

Thomas - -

So last night after Jaiden's bath, he was sitting on the bed reading his Thomas book and not drinking his milk, by the way, and this is a board book, like the thick pages - well he opens it to the first page which is all about Thomas and points right to his big blue Train says "Thomas" I was so happy I said "You are right that is Thomas" and then we went on to the other two pages and read about Harvey and Percy, he did try to say those but they did not come out as clear as Thomas did. I was so happy!! Just had to share!

Ok Last One!

Ok last one really - I made it myself and now I am done for quite some time! Thanks to Robyn for all of your help with this whole picture thing!!

Ha Ha Ha

That first one lasted so long didn't it. So in the last two days I have had three siggy's LOL - Two Heather ones and now a Proud Mommy one! I love this one better!

New Siggy down there!

Isn't it cute? I found it on Photobucket.com and I love it. I think it is cute and I will leave it for some time before I am sure I will change it. Bored much? LOL

Is it Friday yet?

So I am so tired and just wondering...Is it Friday yet? I know I know it is really only Tuesday but I mean come on. Ok so nothing really new Dusty started his new job on Monday and so far he said it is going good which is nice to hear for a change since meter reader was ya know sucky LOL well other than that I am just here at work. I have to go and get my retainer tomorrow a nice new 200 dollar retainer for my perfect teeth LOL - I know I should have worn it and I would not have needed to spend the money but that is my own fault huh? Oh well - And Jaiden will soon be 18 months old and is still getting some teeth and we have to take him to the dr on 7-10-09 I think for his 18 month check up hard to believe that he is already 18 months old. Well that is all for now, just wanted to complain that I am tired and it is only Tuesday!

Really Not Much

There is not really much going on. I just have been hanging out and spending time with friends and such. Yes I am still at work of course - I have been going to the gym at night, I am so tired but I know it will pay off in the end. Jaiden is getting so big I can not believe it, he is almost 18 months old and I can not believe it. I have been reading the Twilight serious and OMG it is so good. I am on book #2 which is very good, no I have not see the movie yet but I will watch them after I am all done reading the series. Thanks Amber and Robyn for getting me hooked LOL - Well just wanted to say yes we are still here and still alive. Dusty got a new job within SCE and now he is going to be a groundman which is that same pay but has a lot of overtime options so that rocks! Well I am sure I will be back can't promise when...

A Mom ~ Why?

I was recently asked why I wanted to be a mom and how I deceided to have Jaiden - Really that is no answer I have for that. I mean I have felt like since the time I was old enough to know about kids that I wanted kids and I knew I was meant to be a mom - I mean now that I have Jaiden there is no way that I can imgaine it any other way, I just know that I am meant to be here on this earth and also I am here to create a live or lives to carry on our lives and our legacy for the future. I think why you want to be a mom is something that you can not explain or someone can not understand that does not have kids!

Recently also I was asked how I let Jaiden cry it out. It is called the cry it out method CIO - Well I know that if after his bath he is dry and clean and fed and has a clean diaper then he is ok and I just put him to bed wide awake and he soothes himself to sleep and if he does cry I will let him cry, not for more than aobut 10 or 15 mins then I will go and get him. Well I bring this up because I was told at the time that letting Jaiden CIO meant that he was going to be in insecure child - yet I can walk out of the room and he does not cry for me he knows that I will be back - I was told that me not going into get him when he is crying is going to cause problems between he and I - well I do not think that is the case right now or in the future - I know I need to get off my soap box here but really each parent is just trying to do right by the kids don't tell me that what I am choosing to do with my son is wrong - it is not putting him in any danger or hurting him in anyway. Each parent is going to do what they feel is right and I am totally ok with that, whatever works for you but please don't knock me down for what I feel is right!!

Also I have been told that oh I don't want to have kids right now because I love my freedom and don't want to loose it. You only loose your freedom if you allow yourself too! I mean really I think that you have children and you make them work around your life and have them change and have them grow up to fit your life, do I mean staying out til 2 am at a bar with them no I don't but I don't think that you need to set certain times for naps and set certain bed times - I have been critized for the times I put Jaiden to bed after 8pm or closer to 9pm - does it seem like he is unhappy to you? No I don't think so - I am just saying you don't have to loose your freedom you can have kids and let them become a part of your life and you really don't have to change your life - I know that is so hard for some people to realize and agree with which is fine we don't all have to agree that is totally fine but please atleast think about what I am saying.

Ok I am getting off my soap box now - I am stepping down! That is all for today!!

Does that look like the face of an unhappy kid? Not to me!!

Taken Back!

I was so taken back this morning, after I dropped Jaiden off at daycare I knew I had a few extra minutes to get to the bank and deposit the check for my Jeep payment which is right next to the McDonalds in town. I was so taken back that the line for the drive thru at 6:10am was so long I mean like 5 or 6 cars deep. Are you kidding me right now. Really? That many people need either coffee or fast food that early in the morning? That is just gross - I know I know this coming from the person that just loves fast food but I want you to know it has been over a month since I have had anything super greasy or bad - I have been eating so good and making a ton of better choices if I do go out to eat but it for sure is not at the bad places - it is at the places that serve better quality food ! Ok Ok I am done now I just had to share the fast that I was so taken back at the amount of people that early in the morning needed something. LOL
