Sick

Meh...my sister got Josh sick a few days ago and now it has finally passed its way onto me! I felt horrible last night and today I felt like I was in a fog. I actually fell asleep around 7ish last night and slept until about 7:30 am the next day. I did need it though.

Update: Thyroid Specialist

Ok so today I finally had my appointment with the Ear, Nose, & Throat Doctor. Well first off he probed me!! He had this device about 1 foot long, very skinny, & with a light at the end. Well...he stuck it down my nose!! It was awful. My mom had to actually leave the room. He first sprayed my nose with Afrin and "numbing" medication. Well it didn't numb it at all. Then he tells me it doesn't hurt it just feels weird...it hurt like a bitch! Anyway on to the thyroid. He doesn't know why I'm talking the Synthroid because that is for under active thyroids and mine is overactive! So he downed my dose from 50 mcg's to 25 mcg's. He said it could be doing more harm than good. Ugh...apparently some Doctor's don't know anything! So I'll go back in about 6 weeks for more blood work and I might not even have to be taking the medication!!

Update 2: Daycare

So the past 2 days I guess Josh has been hitting the little girl at Daycare. Jason kind of forgot to tell me! Men **sigh! So last night I ask Josh about the baby and he went "Ne nee!" holding his fist in the air (that is the sound effect he makes when he goes to hit). So I kept telling him that "We don't hit babies, we kiss and hug babies!" So I think he finally got it!!

Skip forward to a few hours ago and I asked Jason how Daycare went today? He said "He didn't hit the baby!" But....he tackled the little boy down!" Oh man...I think I have my hands full! I don't know how to explain this one to him because he doesn't know the words wrestle or tackle! Ugh...I can't wait until he learns how to talk more. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Copy Cat

So when I got home from work tonight I made pigs in a blanket, I sit down on the coach, put a pillow under my plate and I start eating. Well of course Josh comes over to get some even though he already ate a LOT! So when I'm done I gave him 2 and he sits down next to me, steals my pillow, and puts it under his plate, and then starts eating. Too cute :)

Celebrities

Ok so I was at work today and Rachel Weisz came in. Let me just say that she definitely did NOT look like the picture to the left. She came in with her hair pulled back in a bun, no make up, t-shirt & pants, and was white and scrawny as ever. She definitely looked like she needed some sun light and a burger! This is the state that other people need to see celebrities. They get this image of celebrities that is so far from the truth. Maybe then we wouldn't have so many anorexic people. Just like the Dove Campaign...if you guys haven't seen it yet you really need to. It is just sick how our children are seeing all of the images that everyone else thinks is ok. Not an example I want Josh to see.

Why?

Ok so Josh's new thing is "Why?" Don't you think this is a little young to be starting that?? Does he even know what it means?? I'm still trying to figure out who he hears say it? My niece and nephew still don't really say that and they are 4. Either way I think it is hysterical and both Jason and I always laugh when he says it! Everything is "Why?" or "What?"

Wedding

My family and I all went to my cousins wedding on Saturday. It was fun...even if kids weren't allowed. Jason's cousin ended up watching Josh for the night. It was nice to get out for once though and get to sleep in! Everything was really nice but the dinner was...meh? Anyway...before we left we all took a picture (my sisters and I). It has been a good 5 years since we've all had a picture taken TOGETHER. So here we are in order me (22), Elaine (20), Valerie (24), & Heather (27).

And here is a picture that my oldest sister took of me...I don't remember her getting a picture of me?? I hate the camera and I look highly surprised!!

Update: Contractions

So they gave my sister a shot to stop the contractions and it worked! She left the hospital an hour or so later. There was blood in her urine though so they are going to test it...hopefully the baby bean will stick!! So if you ladies have any extra sticky vibes they are greatly appreciated!

Contractions

So my little sister is in the hospital having contractions!! Not a good thing...she isn't due until December 2nd!! So I have her daughter Madison (4 years old) until they get home. They gave her a shot about 30 minutes ago to stop the contractions. Wish her luck! That baby needs to stick!!

New Haircut!

Ok...here it is! I love it!! Now my hair is officially my NATURAL hair color...it has been a while! I was able to donate about 12 inches to Locks of L♥ve!

Thank You!

Thank you all for the well wishes :) It makes my day! At least some one cares...Jason doesn't like to talk about this kind of stuff. Oh well that is why girls are much better to chat with! I love you girls :)

Thyroid Specialist

So I don't need a referral but I had to wait forever until the specialist office finally opened at 9 am. Not to mention being on hold for about 10 minutes! My appointment is Monday September 29, 2008 at 9:30 am. Wish me luck!

Update: Thyroid

So I just got the call from my doctor about 5 minutes ago. This is what she said "Well it looks good we have no nodules which we usually look for but...your thyroid is too big." Ugh...now I have to go to a specialist! I'm going to call the specialist in the morning and make an appointment. Hopefully this nightmare will be over soon or I'll just wake up but I doubt it! Wish me luck...

Patiently waiting

So I got my ultra sound done on my thyroid this morning at our local hospital. I just hoping they don't "find" something like they did the last time! It freaked me out! About a year ago when I first found out about my thyroid problem I had to go for a sonogram. Well...they founds some nodules on them! So then I had to go for a better one that involved me laying in an MRI looking machine and swallowing an iodine pill! Thank god it turned out to be nothing but still it scared the crap out of me when I Googled it! Note to everyone...never Google any sickness. It will be more than you bargained for! Well wish me luck...now it's time to wait.

Locks of L♥ve

I've decided to donate my hair to Locks of L♥ve. I really need a hair cut anyway and I'm sure someone could use it. Besides my mother telling me it looks horrible this long...anyway. Here is the before picture. I know it is horrible looking...

I'm getting my hair cut on Wednesday at 11:45 am so I'll show the after shot when I get the chance. It's going to be short because they need a minimum of 10 inches so I'm just going to cut it all off. Wish me luck I'm no good with cutting a lot of my hair off. I've cried a few times over my hair being too short.

Girls Night Out

Can I just say it has truly been years since I've actually gone out for drinks...scratch that since I've even been out with friends! I'm young too? Anyway...I had to go shopping for a dress yesterday so a friend and I went. After that we decided to call another girl that we work with to go out for drinks. It was a fun time...3:30 am later I'm home. Ooo I even got to see a bar fight! Now I'm hoping I can catch up on some sleep around nap time!

I made it through the week!

Can I just say I'm so happy the weekend is finally here! I needed to catch up on sleep both Josh and I. We had been waking up at either 5:30 or 6:30 every morning through out the week. The good thing is that the car is finally getting fixed on Monday so...I will soon have our normal life back. Well...besides me working full time now. So I got to sleep in until 8:45 am and Josh slept until 9:30 am!!! We really did need it! Now the only bad thing is that I have to clean up the house after 5 days of Jason & Josh being there by themselves! It is a total wreck! Wish me luck!

Moon

Josh loves the sky but tonight there is a full moon and it is nice, bright, & clear so he could see it. He was amazed. He kept on saying "moo, moo, moo!" He wanted to tell his Dada about it too. It is too cute them learning about new things...

Stinky Situation

Well...I'm on the computer checking out iVillage when Josh comes along to sit on my lap. Well I start smelling poop!..then I take him off of me and look down and (on my work pants) is a BIG poop smear! So of course I've got to clean him up and stick him in the bath. Also to make matters worse I have a washer and drier but no quarters & no more black pants for work...go figure!! So I guess I'll be wearing jeans to work tomorrow. The good thing is that, its about 50* and Josh is wearing his first feet-y pajamas! I ♥ those things...

Follow me!

Jen...you give me such good idea's! Thanks :) I just added the follow this blog option (to your right...don't be shy!) Although I'm not sure anyone is reading my blog except my snowflake mama's & my sister when her hubby gets off the damn computer!?

A long week

Well...here is to the start of a long week (and weeks to come). I start my full time today! That means 44 hour weeks. Lets hope I can do it...it's been a while! I'll try not to abuse my blog either.

Halloween?

So we went to Walmart yesterday night (bad idea!) and I was racing through the store to get my diapers, wipes, & camera case and I happened to cut through the Halloween isle...already!?!? Josh's life time is going entirely way, way too quickly for me! I just remember last year like it was a few months ago. He is going to be 2!! Well anyway...he saw an Elmo costume so...I guess Josh is going to be Elmo! I bought one for my nephew when he was Josh's age (they were born 6 days apart) so he should fit into it to! So I don't have to run around trying to find a costume this year. I think last year I didn't end up finding something until a few days before Halloween.

Update-1st day of Daycare

So...I dropped Josh off at the Daycare at around 8:40ish. He was doing fine while I talked to the lady telling her about nap time and food allergies but, I go to leave and he heads for the door opening it and about to run out the door. I said "No Josh, you have to stay here while Mommy goes to work." Well he started crying and she picked him up and I had to leave. That was about the worst moment in my life. I got out the door and starting crying all the way to work (only about 3 minutes). So I get to work and I'm fine I stopped crying and the Pharmacist I work with said whats the matter? So of course I started to cry again. Ugh...life can be so rough. I new I was going to cry but I was hoping I wouldn't. I don't know how long he cried after I left but he did take a nap for her but, since I didn't pick him up (and men don't ask questions) I don't know really how his day was, if he liked her, if he took his usual 2-3 hour nap, etc... **sigh**

First Day

Wish me luck! Today is Josh's first day of Daycare. I'm sure he'll do fine but, I'm freaking out! At least I know the girl a little bit but, I still don't know her like that. Only family has watched him up until now. Well...I'm off to finish getting ready and take my little baby to Daycare :( Happy Friday!

Martha Stewart

So I've never hated someone more "perfect" but this woman is a freaking genius!! I've made a few of her cookie recipes over the past few weeks and they have all be awesome!! I definitely recommend checking out her site. I also searched for some recipes for my sisters baby shower that I'm hosting in November. Everything looks so good! I just made these the other day, Chocolate Strawberry Thumbprints...

And if anyone gets a chance they HAVE to make these they were so, so good! Chocolate Espresso Snowcaps...

Also...they don't have a picture of them but everyone loved the Raspberry Linzer Cookies I made. They were so good...

Full Time

I'm so excited!! The girl that works Tuesday, Thursday, & Saturday put in her 2 weeks and her last day is tomorrow. Well the managers came up to me asking me if I wanted more hours. I said yes only if I could get a raise and find a daycare that would take Josh. I really do need the money and it would be nice to get benefits! Well today the "big" guy was in and said I could get the raise and be full time!! So starting Saturday they are putting in my raise...but its CVS...that doesn't mean I will actually have my raise that day...they are such procrastinators, but least I know I'll get the back pay eventually?! So I now will have PAID sick days, PAID vacation, and will have better insurance!! The only thing is I really don't want to do daycare but, I have to do what I have to do.

By the way...I found a daycare too!! Jason used to go to school with her and she used to watch my nephew's so...I'm nervous. He has never been with anyone but family. I'll have to see how it goes...wish us luck!!

New Camera

I finally got my new camera!! It has been forever since I've had mine. I broke my newer one a few days before Halloween 2007. I put it down and it fell onto its lens. Then my older one Josh would throw it and throw it until the batteries popped out and he did it too hard one day and broke the whole screen! So I was using the one with the broken screen but the only problem was...it is set up to imprint the date on it and it keeps on resetting itself when the batteries come out so it says 1/1/2005 on all his pictures!! He wasn't even born yet! Anyway...so I had been borrowing my Mom's camera every now and then and my Mom complained to my Dad and since he works for Snap-On Tools he gets points (like the credit card companies do) so he used his points to get him, myself, and my 2 other sisters camera's!!! I was so, so, so excited!!!! Isn't it pretty?!?!

Daycare

Well I have to officially start looking for Daycare for Josh :( I'm so sad! I didn't ever want to put him in Daycare. I have a real trust issue especially when I couldn't even count on some of our family member's to watch him and take care of him! So I've got to see if someone can take him on just Wednesdays and see if we can afford it? But the good thing is if we can afford it I can take on Tuesdays & Thursdays and work full time Monday-Friday. It will be nice because then I will get benefits. Well...lets see how this is going to work out...
