Day 154

HAPPY NEW YEAR! I had a great time at my dads house tonight, We got there at 11:08 and left at 1:30. My oldest nephew William drove Octavius, Xavier, Keith and I to New York City to watch the ball drop. It was about a 5 minute drive and we had to make a stop by the doctors office and the kids (everyone but William the Dad) got shots then it was off to New York! We had so much fun there then we drove home as soon as the ball dropped. I am going to post a few pictures today one is of Keith and I our first picture together in 2011 not a kissing picture but we did not take a picture of our first kiss of the year. The second picture is going to be of our car trip to New York and the third is going to be of the two boys drinking the new year in! The forth is of Xavier with his hat on.

The pictures are not in the order I said but oh well!

Day 153

Well it is New Years Eve and I am glad I get off work at 11:00 and not 7 a.m
This week has gon way to fast and this day has gone so fast, I keep forgetting my camera but when I get home at 11 before I head out to my New Years Eve "Party" I will grab it and take a picture for today. I have no idea what to take a picture of so I am just going to take one of my new necklace from my wonderful Mother-In-Law.

I hope everyone has a great New Years Eve and if your going out stay safe. I am going to my dads like I do every year and I know I am going to have a great night with my family and mostly my 4 year old nephew he LOVES to watch the ball drop so we will ahve to dvr it so he can watch it 10 times tonight, he has been talking about htis for weeks asking for the hats and poppers we had last year. Ethan is spending the night with Keith's dad tonight they wanted him last week but we did not have enough diapers and he got sick any how so they wanted him tonight! Well I am going to get off here and watch t.v until it is time to go home.

Day 152

Ethan is being a crab today and he is mad about everything. He just got up from his nap but that did not help him. He got a new fire truck for Christmas and it makes noise and let me tell you it is driving me nuts. It is not a fun sound to hear when your head is killing you. My dad just left from coming to fix my shower and it works so much better now yay. Soon I will be going to canton with my best friend not sure what we are going to do but it is going to be nice to get away jsut the two of us for a few hours. I have not seen her in way to long.
I have been thinking a lot the past few days that I am so tired of people braging about what they have and what I do not have. You know I am very happy with my  life my husband and son and the baby on the way. I do not need more than that. I am happy that we have our own place and my husband brings in good money to keep us here. Who cares if I have a house or an apartment. Yes I want to get a house soon but I am just thankful we can be on our own and not have to live with family.
I feel sorry for the people who are so unhappy with their life they have to try to make it sound better by braging about what they have and what they do or go. I have a great family and a few good friends and I love that. I understnad some people have more or even have better stuff but I am very thankful for what I do have. Now I am done I jsut had to get that all out. I am going to get ready to go to Canton and have a great day with my friend and maybe spend some more Christmas money. Dinner sounds good it has been 2 months since we got to go to dinner just her and I.
My picture is going to be of My best friend. I have to wait until she gets here to take it and I will post it later!
Well I left the house and forgot my camera sitting on the desk. I took a picture of Keith and I and I so I am going to post that for today.

Day 151

Today has been a good day. I got up got my tree all the way down and ready to be put away and I got the living room put back in order other than moving the DVD rack. I did not feel like sitting at home and I needed a shower and my pants shortened so I went to my dads. It was nice to get ina shower that had water pressure unlike mine. If my dad cannot fix it tomorrow I am going to call the landlord because it takes me 20 minutes to rinse my hair before I give up and use a cup to rinse it. I went to sears to look around and ended up getting myself a new camera because I am tired of my old one messing up pictures. It looks like I moved the camera even if it is sitting still. I am going to see about getting it fixed but I wanted a new one before that one went bad  andI was stuck with nothing. I did not want another big camera so I jsut got a little one but it is just as good as one of the bigs ones they had there. I am going to take a picture of my new camera for todays photo.

Day 150

I needed to run to Wal-Mart last night around midnight to get some stuff for Ethan for lunch tomorrow and some CLR because my shower head needed cleaned. Well while I was there I picked up a container for wrapping paper. It is almost as tall as I am it can hold the longer things of paper. Plus it has a spot on top for gift tags bows tape and anything else you might need. Well I figured while I was adding pictures from last week trying to catch up I would go ahead and do today seeing how it was already Tuesday. I am going to be going to bed as soon as I am done uploading this picture because it is almost 3:30 and we have people coming over in the morning.

Day 149

Well today I figured we would all go shopping to spend some of our money we got. Keith got a new CD and I spent my gift card from the kitchen store I got WOW containers I have wanted them for over a year now and I also got us a new can opener because I was tired of trying to open one can for 10 minutes and my arm hurting like crazy when I was done.
I also got 5 new books and season 3 of House. We looked everywhere for bed sheets for Ethan's new bed. I did not want to get him a crib set because we do not need everything it comes with and finding toddler bed sets is hard we found NONE. Ethan got tired of shopping so we ran him to my dads house to paly while we finished and that gave me more time to look for his sheets. Well I finally figured I would buy crib sheets and not get a set but get matching sheets and blanket. I finally found some that were not Cars (the movie) or Toy Story. I got him the sheets and a blanket then we got two extra sheets that are close to the same color. I looked around to try and find what I wanted to buy for myself but figured I would wait to spend some of my money on summer clothes because last time I was pregnant it was winter and I used my sisters clothes and I only have what my family got me for winter and a a few pair of pants and one shirt but it is all for the winter.
After I was done shopping I went to my dads to be with Ethan while Keith ran back to best buy. He found out that he got a game for $60.00 there last night when we went and they sell the same game at game stop for $19.00 so he called them and they said the do price match even after you buy the item. So he bought the game at Game Stop and returned it then went to Best Buy to get his $40.00 back. While I was at my dads I washed Ethan's new bedding because I hate using it before it is washed because it smells like palstic and it some what rough. When we got home I made Ethan's bed and it looks so cute. I just had to take a picture for Facebook so his Grandpa and Grandma who gave him the money could see what he got with it (other than the socks we got him) so that is my picture for today Ethan's bed with his new sheets on it.

Day 148

It felt so good to sleep last night, As soon as my head hit the pillow I was out. I got up this morning and had to wake Ethan up for Church and when I walked into his room I saw him laying on the floor half under his bed. He did a great job staying in his bed last night he did not get out once other than to get on the floor I guess. My picture for today is of him sleeping in his new bed for the first time (taken after midnight) and of him sleeping on the floor.

Day 147

Merry Christmas! I had a great day today! I only got an hour of sleep but that was not a problem. I got home a little after 7 a.m. Put out all the gifts and took some pictures then I went to bed around 7:30 and Ethan woke up at 8:30 I told Keith I wanted to sleep until 10 but if Ethan got up before that to get me up after he had breakfast and when we were ready for gifts. Well Ethan was to excited to eat and was not to happy daddy told him to wait so he came and got me up and we opened  our gifts. He was so excited over his new truck and his new bed. From Keith I got Season 2 of House, A $25.00 gift card to the kitchen store, Toy Story 3 and a marble cutting board I wanted. I got him 2 video games and three shirts. Then from his mom I got a really nice necklace from Kays and $25.00, Ethan got a train set and a barn yard, and Keith got a sockie set from Japan and $25.00. After we got our gifts opened we got dressed and went to his sisters house for a few hours the kids had fun playing with all the new toys. Then we left and went to my moms/grandmas house and had a great time with family. After that we went to my dads house and then it was tiem for more food and gifts. Ethan got excited and was a little over welmed with everything he got. He got blocks, cars books, clothes and so much more I forget off the top of my head. Keith got some clothes and best buy gift cards. I got clothes (for later in the pregnancy) slippers. and gift cards for Kohls and Sears. All together I got over $300.00 in cash and gift cards from my family and his family. My picture is going to be a few of Ethan opening his gifts and one of all his gifts together and one of his bed.

His train set from Grammy.

Peaking in to see if he wanted to finish taking the paper off.



All his new toys.




His new clothes and bath towel.



His new bed.

Day 146

It is Christmas Eve and I have to work, There is so much I am missing out on tonight too. Ethan went to my dads to hang his stocking, then he made a cookie for Santa and took a bite before leaving it out. Then I wanted to get his new bed put together and ready for him but my dad and Keith had to do it. I told Keith I would put the gifts out when I got home so he is going to get them out and have them ready for me to put them under the tree. I know I did not take the picture but my picture is of Ethan hanging his stocking with my Grandma.

Day 145

Today started off with cleaning I got up and did some dishes and because I went to my dads last night I did not have all my laundry done so I started that then Keith's sister came over to visit for a few hours and when she left I went and took a nap and when I got up I ran to work to get my check. When I got there, there was a "new" girl working the front desk and she told me that the boss wanted to see me in his office when I was done gettig my check. So I got a little worried I had no idea why he wanted to talk to me and why it could not wait until tomorrow. Then when I walked into his office he was looking for something and I was not sure if I messed something up and he wanted to point it out or what was going on. Then he pulled pulled out a gift card and handed it to me and said that is was for me. I was like oh thank you. Then I told him I was pregnant and let him know it would NOT really matter but if I have an appointment one day and I am running late I would let him know a head of time. He asked if I was having a girl or boy and then asked a few more questions and then I left. Keith and I went to the mall and I looked around Kohls to see if there was anything there I wanted to use my $50.00 gift card on after Christmas of course. And I saw a few things I might get. But my picture for today is of the gift card from my boss.

Day 144

Wednesday today I did not feel like sitting in the house all day so I had Keith take me to my dads house. My dad and I played a few games on the Wii and then we went shopping for some orange juice cheese and yougurt because I was craving that stuff.  I stayed later than I wanted to but that was ok Ethan came home and went right to bed at 11 only two hours later than bed time. I forgot to take a picture at my dads house so I took one when I got home of Ethan's new bed. Yes it is still in the box but only for a few more days then I will get a picture of it put together. Some how the picture of Ethan's bed got deleted or never saved so I had to take a picture of something else so because I played the Wii with my dad I will take a picture of the Wii.

Day 143

Today I sat at home and did nothing but a few loads of laundry. I am so far behind but I will be done by tomorrow I know for sure. I had no idea what to take a picture of so I took a picture of some cookie cutters I got on a cake the one day.

Day 142

Monday I went to Christmas in the park with my family. I forgot my camera at home but my sister took some pictures for me. I got two pictures of Ethan with Santa so I will take a picture of them for today.

Day 141

Sunday I did not do much. I hung out at my dads went and got some gift wrap and tags and wrapped most of the gifts I had for my family so that gives me less to haul around on Christmas day. I will take a picture of the gift wrap even though I used all of one roll.

Day 140

Today I got up and Keith and I got ready and went to the mall to finish our Christmas shopping we got everyone done. Keith still wants to get me one more thing but he won't be able to until Thursday because that is his next day off. We did not want to take Ethan to the store with us so we took him to my dads house. When we dropped him off my Grandma gave me a giner bread man a toy solider and then while we were gone my sister helpped Ethan make a ginger bread man so that is my picture for today.

Day 139

Friday again UGH, I really HATE Fridays. I know I only work one day a week and a lot of other people work 5 or more but it is so much harder on me to only work one day a week and that day be 16 hours long. I complain about it a lot but do not do anything about it because I do not want to work any other day and I cannot really work Monday through Thursday because Keith works and we only have one car and I have tried so long to get off Saturday and Sunday's so I do not want to go back to that. But being off six days then coming back is hard on me. I cannot wait until I can take several days off when I have the baby. I have no idea what I am going to take a picture of so I will post it later. Ok so after some thought and coming up with nothing good I took a picture of some candy ring one of my coworkers made (I think any how) It goes around a candle it is somewhat cute but I would nto want to put that much time into it.

Day 138

Today is my grandmas birthdays, My mom and Dads Mom's birhtdays are on the same day and my mom and Keith's mom share a birthday. I had a busy day, I went to my dads house to spend some time with my grandma and then I ran to the store to get some stuff for dinner and then I got a call from my aunt and she wanted me to go get my grandma a birthday gift from her while she was still at work so I went picked up her money went to the spa by her house got my grandma a gift card. Then went and picked out a necklace set. I looked at the jewerly case and found the one I wanted right away, I took a picture of it with my cell phone so I could send it to my Aunt to see if she liked it or not. She did so I bought it then went to wal-mart again to get birthday cards from me my sister the three boys and my aunt dad and uncle. Then I got back to their house and she was home so I had to sneak the gift in and hide it. The cake was already inside hiding Thank God for that lol.
So my picture today is of the necklace I picked for my grandma.

Day 137

Well tonight Ethan went to bed late and when he did go to bed he wanted to sleep with his toy train. I was not going to let him have it but he sat in his bed looked at me and said "Rain Please Mommy" I gave in and gave it to him, as soon as I did he laid down said thank you then started going to sleep. I went in after midnight so the picture would be taken on the right day and took a picture of him asleep with his "rain" He looks so cute. I had to make himgo to sleep in just a diaper because our house is so hot if he had clothes on he would be way to hot, Look at the picture you can see he is hot even in a diaper.

Day 136

My sea bands FINALLY came today, I did not feel sick so I did not put them on but later in the day I started to feel a little sick so I put them on and five minutes later I was feeling great! So they do work and I am very happy about that. So my picture for today is of my sea bands!

Day 135

I did not do to much today I was going to go the bank but I did not feel like going out into the cold to go so I stayed home in my pjs all day long, I did some laundry and the dishes but I am very proud of Keith and I,We hav kept our living room and kitchen clean for over 3 weeks now, That is great for us we had a bad habbit of not picking up toys every night or leaving stuff out after we were done with it but the past few weeks we have picked up all toys and put everything away when we are done with it. We have been keeping up on dishes and not letting them go for days we wash them every night or every morning. We need to keep our room clean but we keep the door shut so we jsut do not care how it looks. I am behind on laundry I have two loads to wash then I will be done I had 3 all together but most of that was towels.

As I was trying to figure out what to take a picture of I was taking my vitamins so I figured I would take a picture of them.

Day 134

I made a ginger bread villiage with the three boys tonight. Most of the time we only make it with William but I figured that I would try letting the other boys do one too. But I knew William would NOT like help from the other two boys so I got the villiage. Ethan really did not do much but eat the candy and when I put it on he took it off so I finished the house alone. Octavius also was more into eating the candy than putting it on the house. I forgot my camera so I have to take one some other night.

Day 133

Saturday we figured we would get out of the house and go shopping. We were not going to buy anything but we were going to try to come up with stuff we wanted so we could give each other a list. I found nothing and Keith found a few things but we ended up buying my nephews their gifts and let me tell you for three boys that have a million toys they are hard to shop for. But I found some stuff I think they will like and I called and asked my sister and she said they should like them,
So my picture is of the toys I got for the three boys.

Day 132

I am finally cought up on all my blogs! I need to add pictures from the past week but I can tomorrow.
Keith was told he had to work tonight so we were looking for a babysitter last minute. My Grandma keeps him most of the time but my Aunt is sick so they did not want to keep him so we asked his mom. She works until 5:00p.m so we had to take him to his sisters house at 1:30 and she was going to keep him until their mom got off work then his mom was going to go pick him up and keep him over night. Then she found out she has to work Saturday morning so she is going to drop him off at her sisters house and her sister is going to bring him home tomorrow morning or she might wait until noon to drop him off.
I know it sounds like a lot of switchng but that is the only thing we could do with it being last minute he found out he had to work.
I have to fax his time sheet to temp office tonight so it is not late again this week. So my photo is of his time sheet it is the only thing I can think to take a picture of. I will have to take the picture tomorrow because my camera is at home.

Day 131

I feel so much better today I could actually get up and do stuff around the house. I am tired because Ethan was up unitl 5:00 a.m and woke back up around 9:00 a.m so I am running on very little sleep. My friend Kim came over so she could get online to study for a test and before she had to leave for class I took her Ethan and my self out to eat. I was hungry for Hog Heaven so that is where we went. It was so good. I should have taken a picture of the sign but I left my camera at home so I took a picture of the 10% discount card I have.

Day 130

Because I felt like I had the flu I stayed in bed as long as I could then when Keith had to leave for work I got up and went out to the couch. Ethan was ready for his nap so I got to lay and relax a little longer. Finally at about 9:00 I started to feel so much better I made some Chili and was able to eat it. Because I did not do much but lay around on the couch I took a picture of the couch.

Day 129

Today I baked some cutout cookies. Ethan was not to sure about them but he ate one after making sure it was a cookie. My picture is of a few of the cookies I made.

Day 128

Monday I finally got around to scrubbing my kitchen carpet (I HATE having carpet in the kitchen by the way) That was pretty much all I did today. So my blog is going to be short, My picture is of the scrubber.

Day 127

Sunday today was my first week of 13 of working in the 3 year old Sunday School Class. I had a lot of fun and made some new cute little friends. One little girl wanted me to sit with her on my lap for story time and then play with her after we were done.
Well  after I got home Ethan and I made a bunch of cute decorations and other little crafts. I did not have time to get them all done before I had to go to a birthday party for my two nephews. Ethan did not want to go he told me he wanted to go night night not bye bye so I left him at my dads and went to the party.
When I got back we finished the rest of our crafts. That is my picture for today!

Day 126

I am a week behind I have the pictures at home on my camera but I am at work so I cannot post pictures until tomorrow.

Day 126 would have been Saturday I did not do to much I got home from work and went to bed. Keith got me up at 1:30 then we went to the store to grab some stuff we needed and we also got one of Ethan's Christmas gifts.
He gets so excited when he see trucks he LOVES them and when he see Chuck the Rumblin Tonka Truck he gets even more excited. So that is one of his gifts. It is also the picture I took for today!

Day 125

It is Friday again. I hate Fridays. But it makes it worse when I am sick. I do not feel like being at work feeling like I could puke at any second. I went and picked up my Anti-Nausea medication and took some when I got to work and have been fighting sleep ever since. I am going to use a picture of my Christams tree before and after. I finished it after midnight last night so I figured it would work.

I guess you cannot see a difference between the two pictures but Oh well. I am not to happy with the way my tree looks any how I want to get better ornaments for next year because I only have tiny ones and I do not like them. But it has to work for this year. I might buy more after Christmas when they go on sale!

Day 124

Well today was the day of my first doctors appointment. I did not see the doctor because they were just checking for pregnancy and all that. I am around 6 weeks and due July 27. I go in next month for an ultra sound and blood work to confirm the due date, and to check for twins. I talked to the nurse about feeling sick all the time and she called in a prescription for anti-nausea medicine. She said it might make me sleepy but I can cut them in half if I need to.
I have been craving Spaghetti today and I hate pasta I want it with a ton of sauce. I wish I had the stuff to make it but because I never eat it I never buy the stuff for it. But Saturday I am going to go get the stuff if I am still wanting it. I also want bacon on a bagle with egg and cheese, mayo and red hot sauce. I will have to buy some of that Saturday too.
Tomorrow I have to work or I would go get the stuff. Keith also got called into work over time and will get time and a half for working so I called my Grandma asked for her car and if she would keep Ethan and she will so he can work over time it will be nice for Christmas because he gets paid every week. Well I am going to get off here and go find something to eat that won't make me sick. My picture is of the books I got from the doctor today. I am going to eat before I post it.

Yay this gives me something to read at work.

Day 123

December already! I am so excited for Christmas. Today I went with my sister to get some stocking stuffers for Ethan. I got him a bunch of plastic animals he is going to love them. I also have my tree up. I need to decorate it but I am going to do that tomorrow. I need Keith to fluff the top part where I cannot reach. Tomorrow I go to the doctor for the first time. I do not think I will see him but at least I will start my vitamins.


I figured since today was the first time it has really snowed I would take a picture of the snow. I took it this afternoon but for some odd reason it did not save to my card or camera so I have to take one now and it is dark so I have no idea how this is going to turn out. If it does not turn out good I will take a picture of my tree.

My snow picture turned out GREAT at least to me it did. I love how you can see the snow falling I am glad I took a different one.
