Well just to let everyone know...my birthday is next Friday!! :) Not that it is going to be a special day. Chris comes home on the 19th!! I am so happy. We haven't seen him since the 27th of November!! I miss him and I know that Zach does because he says that we have to leave the front light on every night for daddy to see when he gets home. So funny....and sweet. I have finally gotten my Christmas shopping done! I have to figure out what I am going to get the ladies at the office though. I was gonna give them cute little penguin keychains but I found out yesterday that Zach's Christmas party is with both K4 classes not just his so I will look crazy not having everyone a gift. Or maybe not. Who knows? I had to buy some grapes and some cookies for him to take to school. They are making fruit baskets for someone at school. Do you know how much grapes cost????? OMG!!!
Well if I don't post anymore before Christmas.......
Well yesterday went fairly well. We went to Chris' grandmother's for lunch and stayed there for a couple of hours. They put up her Christmas decorations. I feel so sorry for her. She just sat there looking sad. (She lives in a nursing home now and doesn't get to come home that often.)
Later we went to my moms. She had the BEST dinner ever!! It was awesome. We had fried turkey, potato soup, chicken and dumplings, chicken and dressing, collards, pasta salad, mac and cheese, peas, and rolls....I think that's all and then for dessert we had red velvet cake, pecan pie, coconut pie and some kind of sweet potatoe casserole. Awesome!!
We were supposed to go to Mobile today to fight the crowds and Christmas shop but Chris said that I couldn't go because we didn't have enough money. Imagine that????!!!!??
So instead I will be putting up my Christmas tree today. :) That is going to be fun anyway!!
Well more later!!
:) HaPpY tHaNkSgIvInG!!
I know it's early but if you will notice it's been a while since I posted anything. :) Just want to cover my bases. hehe
Well, Chris is home till Friday. He got me a new TV for Christmas (yeah I know it's early), it is a 42" flat screen. We also had to get a new thing to put it on because it wouldn't fit on my old entertainment center. And of course I can't have it till Christmas so that's kind of sucky but....it should be in tomorrow.
Zach was sick yesterday. I think he just had some drainage problems but he threw up and of course according to them he had a stomach virus. He did fine the rest of the day though.
Well sorry so short. I am having a bad day. More later.
Well all I can say is boys will be boys....I sent my son in the bathroom last night to get a bath...little did I know that he was going to "grow a mustache" while he was in there. (At least that is what he called it.) I am sitting at the computer and I look in the bathroom and he something dark around his mouth. I told him to wash it off and he tells me that it won't come off!! Can you guess what he did?
Here is a pic:
He had a top off of his Spongebob Shave lotion and was sucking on it!! So it made all the blood come to the surface like a HICKEY!! Can you believe that? Ha! I had to write the teacher a note this morning to tell her what was going on so that she wouldn't think that I had beat him. The pictures really don't do it justice because it looks a lot worse in real life.
A day in the life of me.....go figure....until next time.....
I am trying to be a new person and do the right things. I have started going to church again. I don't tell many people because I don't want a pat on the back for doing what I should have been doing all along. I feel like I should go because my heart leads me to go. I want my baby to know that God is awesome and that without him we are nothing!!
I, of course, do not believe that I am perfect, because by all means I am not. I cuss, I admit I talk about people, but I am trying to get better with all of this. I came into work this morning praying that God is with me and that my day will go by fast and easy. :) Will it happen? I don't know but if I have faith I am sure that it will.
Chris went back to work yesterday. He will be gone until about the 6th of November. :( Me and Han are going SHOPPING this weekend!! And of course Zach will be with us. :) We need to get Zach some winter/fall clothes. He has none that fit him from last year. He is getting to be a big boy now.
They made the cutest shirt with the black shirt that I was looking for last week. They put their foot in paint and then he stepped on it and it looks like a ghost with googly eyes that says boo out beside it. So cute. I will take a picture of him Friday when he wears it to school.
Well More later!!
across the street has been telling my boss to 
(fire me)!! She has no business sticking her nose in where it doesn't belong. She just doesn't like me because I don't do what she tells me to. ha!
Why is life so hard?
I don't understand why it has to be so hard....is it because I make it hard, is it because I don't go to church like I should?, or maybe just because it's all in my mind. (I am rambling I know...)
I finally got a Black shirt for Zach yesterday. One of my friends moms was in Mobile and she went and found one!! THANK GOD!! :)
Well Chris found out that he can't go back to work at his old job like he thought.
I feel bad for him but he is so angry that he doesn't listen to me. He doesn't want to go back on the boat and I don't blame him. But we can't make it on $9.00 an hour. Not with all the bills that we have. I don't know what to tell him. I wish I did. and wish I could make it all better. But all we are doing right now is fighting because he thinks that I don't want him home. :(
On a brighter note it is Wednesday and the middle of the week!!!!
Well until next time....
On a brighter note...Zach finally got his Power Ranger Operation Overdrive Costume!! He was mad because he wanted to be the Mercury Ranger instead of the Red Ranger but oh well he is happy just being a Power Ranger for now. :)
Someone found some old pics of my dad in my grandmother's house. He is the one on the right in this pic. He still looks pretty much the same. I think Zach looks like him. :)
Well Until Next Time......
Well I guess that is enough pity for one day....I will update and let you know if Chris is really coming home!!
Oh one other thing!! Zach got to bring home the class pet Friday!! I was so excited for him. It is a great accomplishment considering the way he acted at the beginning of school. Here is a pic.
First off, I just want to say that the next time Zach's class has a field trip, unless they are riding a bus, car, or something, I will not be going. ha! I went today on their field trip to the bank. The humidity is so high outside I thought I was melting. And I couldn't go home to take a shower before coming back to work. :( So I feel like I don't smell the greatest!! haha!! Zach, of course, was so excited that I was going with him. He wanted to hold my hand the whole time. Usually I have to force him to hold my hand when we go somewhere. I was so proud. Needless to say I looked like a drowned rat and will probably be in the newspaper next week! OH JOY!!
Until next time.....
I don't know whether I am lonely from Chris not being home or what....I had the worst dream last night. Well it wasn't bad or scary or anything...just something that I shouldn't have been dreaming. I am not going to go into detail or anything about it. I just know that I am starting to miss Chris a whole lot. And apparently he has no service on his phone so I can't talk to him. :'(
Saturday I get to keep Trenton!! He is so cute and sweet!! I can't wait! I think Zach is going to be jealous though. We will see.
Zach went to the fire house yesterday in town. One of my friends went as a chaperone and she said that Zach was answering all the questions that the fireman asked. And he asked if they had ever had a fire alarm go off in their house and he raised his hand and the fireman said you had a fire alarm go off in your house and Zach said yeah my mom was cooking and she burnt something and it went off. HA! And then the fireman asked what you do when you are in a 2 story house and the fire alarm goes off and Zach raised his hand again and he said you, you, you....I don't know the answer to that one. She said it was so funny. And on his papers that he does everyday he had a smiley face on one of them and a note because he had written his name all by himself on the top of the page. :) I know I have a big head because my baby is being so good now!! I am sooooo proud of him!
Anyway, Chris should be coming home on the 3rd of October!! I am ready to see him again even though we just saw him last weekend. It just wasn't enough.
I am trying to get my Christmas list started. Well I have started it. I am doing pretty good I think. Santa needs to decide what else he is going to get Zach. It isn't as hard as it was last year. I guess because I am better organized!!
We went to eat supper with Hannah and Richard last night. Zach was acting horrible!! He kept climbing all over me and everything. He got a splinter in his foot one time and I had to hold him down while Hannah got it out. He screamed bloody murder!!
Well until next time.......
Zach is having a hard time at school. He has gotten his star taken down AGAIN!! I don't know what I am going to do. He won't tell me what he is doing wrong. I told him that he needed to just do what the teacher told him to do or not to do....whatever the case may be. I am at my whits end. I asked him who else's star was taken down and he said no ones my is the only one!! I don't know if he is just wanting attention or what is going on!!!! I just want to scream because I know that my baby is good and he can do good. He just lets other people influence him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am about ready to kick UPS' butt. We (Amber and I) shipped some running boards to this guy in Canada in July. Well when he got them they were damaged and the box was torn up. UPS said they were sorry and that they would cover the damage. Well it has been almost 2 months and they have only given me not even half of the money that I was supposed to get to cover the boards. Of course the guy is wanting his money back. Who wouldn't? I am just fed up with them.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I am kinda scared that my job is not going to be around much longer. Of course it would be nice not to have to go to work everyday but I would probably get bored because Zach is in school now. Things just don't look good!! I keep hearing rumors because for some reason our bosses won't tell us anything to ease our minds. ~~I have an amount of money that I have taken out of my check everytime we get paid that goes into a credit union and I looked today to see how much I had in there and they haven't put it in for the last two times that we have gotten paid!!! How crappy is that? What if I really needed that money? And next week will be another week that probably won't get put in!! I am upset about that too.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This weekend I will pretty much be all alone....well not all alone but Hannah and Richard are going out of town to eat supper tomorrow night....(and don't get me wrong I totally understand that they need their alone time as a married couple) and then Saturday night Zach wants to spend the night with mom and Hannah and Richard are going to be watching the Alabama game. :( I always wanted to be alone sometimes but now that I am going to be I am not sure if I can handle it. :( I will probably cry the whole time. I can't stand it. We will see. I may not let Zach go to moms.....1 because I don't really want to be alone and 2 because he can't be good at school to keep his star up.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I think that Chris has decided that he is going to work two jobs. One the job that he is doing now....being gone for 23 days on the tug boat and then on his 10 days off work for another company driving a truck. Don't get me wrong I like that we will have extra money but I WANT TO SEE HIM!!! If he does the truck thing we will pretty much never see him!! Not that we see him very much now. And yes when he was at home this last time he got on my nerves a little because, let's face it I was without him for 25 days and not used to someone talking to me when I wanted to do something. Yes I do LOVE him with ALL my heart and no I don't want to loose him! So I don't want anyone that reads this to think that I don't love my husband anymore because I do!!! I want him home now....but that isn't going to happen. I am rambling....I know....I need to stop!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We are supposed to have a yard sale Saturday morning but I don't think we will because of the rain that is supposed to come in Friday night....early Saturday morning from Hurricane Humberto....what kind of name is that? I have never heard of anyone named that.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well I better stop typing about all my crap.....Until next time!!!!
Well Chris goes back to work Monday....I am sad. :( I wish there were good jobs around here for him but there isn't right now. Who knows he may like it better this time. I think that once he is on his own and not with a trainer anymore it will get better.
Zach is in a terrible mood lately. I don't like his new attitude. It sucks! I think it is because Nana treats him like a baby. At least that is what he said. He doesn't want to go to her house anymore because she treats him like that. :( Poor thing. When he was younger she treated him like he was older and now that he can do things for himself she doesn't like it!! I know it is my fault that all this is going on because it was my idea to let her keep him every afternoon but I thought it would be a good thing. I didn't know that Zach really didn't like her....hmmmm....
We are supposed to be going to Pensacola tomorrow to go to a movie but there isn't really any kid movies playing right now. Zach wants to see The Simpson Movie but I think that might be a little too much for him.
Well until next time.....
Well, Chris is FINALLY home!! He got home Thursday night at about 7:30!! I was sooooooo glad to see him. And so was Zach. 25 days is a long time not to see your love!
I think he has decided to go back. At least until Christmas. And then take off a couple of weeks to be here at then and then he will go back to doing something. I am sure that he won't do that unless we have enough money saved up or he has a new job. :)
Well not much to type today. Until next time.....
"Absence makes the heart grow fonder...." I hope that is true. So it's been 17 days since I have seen my man. I am missing him lots. I am worried about all the bills and stuff we have piling up from nonpayment....I just know they are going to cut off or come repo something....they don't do that the first month....do they? I hate for Chris to be away but I am scared that we are not going to have enough money for everything that we need. I want him to be HOME with me and Zach....not on a boat with a smelly old man that won't take a bath. (that's an entirely different story) On a brighter note I get paid tomorrow and he gets his first pay check Friday!!! YAHOO!! (Praying that it is a big one!!)
Zach has started school. He is loving it!! At least sometimes he acts like he is. He won't tell me anything that goes on except that he has two girlfriends and one of them smacks her food. haha I had to go get him from school yesterday because he told me that he didn't love me anymore because I work too much and I don't pick him up. Which I know that going to a new school, having your Nana that you didn't really see that much pick you up, and having your daddy be gone for a while is a little much for a 4 year old to handle.
I had to have a talk with Nana the other day....she let him "drive" her car. (Even though Chris does it a little....that is his child....u know?) Anyway, I went in with the intentions of telling her that I would appreciate it if she wouldnt let him do that anymore. But before I get in the door good she says..."I know I messed up Friday." And I am like well yeah you did. I am not sure if I had a look on my face or if Zach told her that I was going to beat her butt for letting him "drive". Needless to say we got that straight and she was practically begging me not to get mad and not let him stay with her anymore. I told Chris after it was all overwith because I didn't want him to get too upset with her. So I told him Monday night and said I handled it!! haha
They have too many rules at school. Zach can't take his backpack anymore that I paid so much money for that has his name on it!! Which kinda ticks me off. And he can't bring his lunch box with snack in it. WHAT!! They also sent home a thing yesterday about "head lice". Which freaked me out!! I hate lice and I hope that my baby doesn't get it. EWW!! I just get the heebygeebies thinking about it. :P
Anyway that is what is going on right now. Probably more but I don't want to bore you!!
Until next time.........
Well it's been a while since I last posted anything. Chris has left to work on a tug boat and my baby starts school tomorrow. :'(
A little depressed about money.....but it is all going to be ok. Things will start to look up soon.
I am sick. My nose is so stopped up. I feel like I could crawl in bed and stay there for a while. :)
Mom is keeping Zach for me this week. I think they have had fun. Then Chris' mom is going to start getting him after school everyday. I am going to get him tomorrow and Friday though. He is MY baby!! I have to be the first one that he tells about his day. :) you know?
well i am not really talkative today....being sick and about to fall asleep on my desk is hard work. ;) haha
Later tater!
I now have 46 friends!! haha!
Well the county sheriff showed up again last night. This time Chris had to take the truck to my Dad's house! He is not happy. Apparently the neighbors called the sherriff's department again after Chris stopped parking in the other spot because of their fence. I really don't understand what we have done to them. We may never know.
Zach is going to Bible School this week! He is so excited. He loves it. One of the ladies at the church told me last night that he is really smart. I am glad that he is smart. Makes me feel good!! haha!
~~~~~~
Not too much going on lately. That may or may not be a good thing.
Until next time........
