Why hello.

Once again, I have neglected you...my poor poor little blog. I apologize.

Here's what I've been up too...

My son's birthday is coming up. I am SO excited about it! It's a pirate themed party. I ordered all the stuff & the last of it should be here Monday or Tuesday. (yay!) I'm making his cake by myself. It's one of my favorite parts of the party.

Chase & I are doing great. I love him more & more everyday. He finally admitted to me that he DOES want another baby (woo hoo!), but...he thinks that we should wait just a little bit longer to get pregnant. *sad face* I REALLY want a baby now. I am so pathetic desperate for a baby, that when I found some pink baby lotion today, I sat there for a good 15 minutes just smelling it & dreaming of babies.

Potty training is going pretty good. Bray is almost there. He will pee in the potty, & only has accidents in the morning right before or rigth after he wakes up. But he's still not going #2 in the potty. I will keep you posted on how training goes...

Have You Ever....

Have you ever taken a picture JUST to take a picture & it end up being beautiful?

Have you ever been incredibly lonely, even though there are people all around you?

(I hope not...it's not fun)

Have you ever watched the rain fall?? I mean REALLY watched it.

Have you ever found the PERFECT quote to a picture you just took.
{I have.}

Have you ever wanted to throw your brand new printer out the window because you couldn't get it to work??

(Only to find out you forgot to turn the *printer sharing* on, so you were the cause of your own stress)

Have you ever had to potty train a little boy?

(if no....you lucky bastard.)

Have you ever decided you wanted to learn a skill...& succeed?

Have you ever that you are crazy for wanting another child?

& finally...

Have you ever been down, but had a best friend that comforted you day or night,

no matter where you are or what she's doing?

Thank God that I do.

=)

Have you ever...

Well, This is my first *Have You Ever* post. Created by Momma at Live. Laugh. Pull Your Hair Out. It's an amazing idea & {to be honest} I'm a little jealous that I didn't think of it myself. But at least SOMEONE thought of it. =) Anyyyyywhoooo....here we go.

Have you ever thought it would be easier to get liposuction that ACTUALLY lose the weight?

& then decided it was more cost efficient {& probably less painful} to just suck it up & exercise?

Have you ever just held your child in your arms & thank God that you are lucky enough to have them in your life.

I have....often. =)

Have you ever watched a terrible movie all the way through, knowing it was bad in the beginning, just to appreciate the *good* movies better?

Have you ever thought about the Zombie Apocolypse seriously?

No? Well you should.

Have you ever considered yourself blessed to be in love with someone who makes you laugh ALL THE TIME?
Have you ever accidently hit a raccoon with a bag of garbage?

Have you ever had a raccoon hiss at you for accidently hitting it with a bag of garbage??

I have...Incidently..it's not that fun. Who'd have though??

Have you ever wondered if you're doing the right thing with your life?

Then realized that sitting there thinking about it isn't gonna change a thing?

Have you ever had your 3 year old son run around being a pirate all day?

(it's pretty awesome)

& finally...

Have you ever had someone who you called your hero?

My Papa.=)

Losing my tattoo virginity...

Welp...I haven't done a RTT in a while. So here I am! I have gotten back into my workout routine, house cleaning routine, & *fingers crosses* Blog routine!!!!

So, Monday is the *big* 2-1!!! (not that 21 is all that big...) & I am excited! Not for Monday, but for this coming SATURDAY!!! You see that is when we are celebrating. I am getting my first tattoo. Or as I like to put it...Losing my tattoo virginity. I can't wait.

I have this friend that is SUPER nice, & we usually have very funny conversations, but he can't take a hint when I want to quit texting. (don't you hate that?) Like, I wont reply & he'll send another...UGH! I should let the inner bitch in me come out & just be like: LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!!!! But it's one of the only friendships that I have...I think I'll just have to deal with his obssesive texting.

Cheezit's are addictive.

My son has inherited his dad & my crazy antics...for example, we are in subway with my friend Melanie & I ask him to smile, well...this is what I get....

I know...right??

Repotted my cactus...THAT sucks. No matter what kind of gloves you have one, you still get stabbed. & it still hurts. Damn cactus.

Also, I bought a NEW flower (As if i needed anymore plants) from Walmart last Thursday, & I couldn't figure out how to pronounce the name of it. So I look up the *Old Gardener Lady* term for it...guess what it was??? Come on....guess....ok...give up?? Cockscomb!!!! Bahahahahahaha! Yes, I am laughing at the name...because where I am old enough to know that it is immature to laugh at words like weiner & booby, &...*sincker* COCKScomb...I am still young enough to not care. =D

Well that's it for this RTT. Steal the *button* & get on with your random self!!!

*Le Sigh*

Once again, I would like to apologize to you, my poor blog. =( I feel as if you need more attention. Not that I am writing to anyone, as far as I know, I have ZERO readers. Ha ha. But still, I think it's good for me to blog. I can get all my frustrations out & not keep them inside where they can fester into a cancer or a deadly aneursym.

That being said, I have been slightly depressed for the past month. I have realized that Bray isn't going to get to start preschool in August. He isn't going to be fully potty trained by his birthday in 2 months. Which means, unless I can find him a day care that will help with the potty training process, I can't start school until he is in school. It's going to take me years to complete college anyway, so the sooner I start, the sooner I get to graduate.

I also wish that we could find us a house & get out of this stupid apartment. Don't get me wrong, the apartment is great. It's big & very nice. But all the people that live here are stuck up their own asses. When I take Bray to the swimming pool, all these women who are there sun bathing act like it's such a terrible thing that I dare bring my son to splash his feet in the pool while they are sunbathing.(nowhere near them that is, he wont even get in the pool) The bug guy lies on us to the landlord, & after seeing our rabbit 500000000000 times before this past wednesday, the landlord decides to tell us that we have to pay $500 to keep a rabbit....in a cage....in the house. Gee Mr. Landlord man, Thanks for telling us that MONTHS ago when we first got the bunny. Now we're all attached to him & we're not going to give him away. You are a jerk off of the classic variety.

I do want to apologize, I am not trying to get a pity party, or sound all *emo* as some people put it. I am just very stressed & frustrated. If it's not one thing that stresses me out, it's another. Fortunately, I will have somewhat of a break in a little over a week. My birthday is the 21st, & since that is on a Monday, we are celebrating it the weekend before. So I'm getting my first tattoo, my nose pierced, going out to eat with my best friends...& Chase of course. & then, we are all going to Lake Winnie in Chattanooga. It's gonna be great. Me & Chase have a baby sitter, & have the whole weekend to have a kid-free blast!! So I'm thinking on Sunday, it'll just be the 2 of us. =) It'll be like we're dating again. I can't wait.

Explanations...

Not that I have any readers for my blog...It's ok. I accept it....But I have not really been in the mood to blog this past week or so. First off...a high school friend of mine * his brother died. They were in a horrible car wreck where the car flipped 4 or 5 times & they were thrown from the car. If they'd been wearing their seatbelts, they would probably still be alive. My friend Adam was 20...his brother Andrew was 17. They both wore the #72 on our high school football team. Adam had a 2 or 3 year old son.

On top of that, my mom went into the hospital Tuesday. She had to have a partial hysterectomy. She had her uterus & one of her ovaries taken out. & she had to have her bladder tacked up where it's supposed to be. She's doing good, but she's hurting pretty bad. She's on morphine tablets & should get to come home sometime today. Gonna try to go see her tomorrow or sunday.

I found out yesterday ANOTHER friend of mine died. Eric was 19 or 20. He has a very young son. not even a year old yet if i'm not mistaken. He was riding a dirt bike around at 1 in the morning & got hit by a pickup truck.

I'm kinda tired of losing people I know. I've become almost numb to it, which makes me come across as a cold-hearted bitch. But really, it's just so exausting to get so upset over it over & over again. & I also dont say that they're in a better place. I don't know that. I don't know if people REALLY believed in God when they died.

To everyone I have know that has died, May you rest in peace. I love you...where ever you may be...

It's random tuesday people!!!

Technically, it's only Tuesday for about 10 more minutes, but I have been kinda busy today. Better late than never I guess. At any rate...let us get on with the random, shall we??

I hate when I wash towels, & I put them in the dryer for a full drying cycle, & when the dryer stops, they are still damp. =( That happened today.

Why is the majority of the buttons I have in my button jar this really fugly brown color? Why is the button industry so stingy with the pretty buttons? I promise I'll use them wisely, so quit hogging them.

I just want to point out one little fact. I have lived in Tennessee my whole life, & I moved to Alabama last October. When all my friends & family found out about this, they made all the jokes that I have heard about Alabama my ENTIRE life. Rednecks, cousin on cousin action, REALLY bad southern accents...but you know what?? Since I have lived here, I have not seen one redneck, not 5 headed kids due to incest, or heard one person call it Alabam-ER. That's something I cannot say about Tennessee. Take that all you teasers...HA HA HA!

Kool-aid singles have got to be the best thing EVER.

Also...my little sister Mia is pretty much the cutest thing ever. She wore my sunglasses on mother's day long enough for me to take a picture....

Precious much????

Also...I took a picture with my mommy...She's awesome too...

Like my photo editing??? I used piknik.com
