Working woman!!

I actually worked from 10-4 today and will again tomorrow. The manager at my job I used to have went on vacation and asked if I would fill in!! I don't mind because my mom is off of work for summer (she works at the High School) and so she keeps the boys for me and I get to make a little extra money. Every little bit helps with the way prices are so high right now. It is actually slow during the week so I got to sit and read my book for most of the day. Ended up finishing off Picture Perfect and starting Mercy. It feels so weird to be working even though I know it is for only 2 days. The owner still thinks I am coming back full time despite me telling him over and over that I am not!!

Fear and excitement

That is what my day has been filled with.

Fear~I have been scared to death for the last month and a half to go to the Dr. and get this pain I have been dealing with checked out. I went in today and she thinks it is a stomach ulcer although if the pain gets any worse I am to go to the ER because it could be my Gall Bladder. I hope like hell it is not my Gall Bladder because I am totally terrified of being put to sleep if it needs to be removed.

Excitement~My brother will be home around midnight tonight!!! I am so excited even though I will not get to see him until tomorrow morning. Dylan can not control himself and wanted to spend the night at my mom's so he could see him as soon as he got home. I did not allow that because my dad will be staying at my house before heading back to his house in Tennesse and he has not seen Dylan in a long time and has NEVER seen Brady. I am pretty sure I can count the number of times he has seen Dylan on my 2 hands and he is 6 years old. Sad huh!! Beleive me it really is better that way but that is a whole nother blog so I will not go into it to much!!

Rain, Rain....

It has done nothing but rain today!! I really wanted to get out of the house today but that definitely did not happen. I really needed to go to the store and get a few things. Oh well I guess I can go tomorrow if it does not rain. When it rains like this it makes me want to sleep all day long.

I'm so excited my brother is coming home on Saturday. He has been in Tennesse at our dad's house for 2 months. Dylan has been so bored with him gone because they usually spend so much time together. I am sure we will be spening all weekend at my moms visiting with him. Maybe now Dylan won't be complaining of boredom so much!!!

Holy soreness

Yesterday after I got home from Louisianna with my mom she took Brady home with her and Dylan and I hit the water slides again for an hour. This time since my mom had Brady I told Dylan I would slide with him. Holy cow I am so sore. I am sore in places I never knew I could be sore in. Then my hubby asks "How are you sore from sliding?" Uhhhhhh hello those darn slides throw you every which way and all the climbing stairs over and over for an hour. Yeah he would be sore too. Needless to say Dylan had a blast racing me down and that is all that matters.

Nothing new

Nothing really new going on over here today. Here are a few pics for ya. I did get to get one of Brady standing on the dishwasher door. I waited until hubby was home and could be behind ready for if he went to fall. Hope everyone is having a great weekend.

Busy, busy, busy

We started the day off just like any other day just picking up and cleaning a little. Then around 8:30 my mom and step-dad came by to drop off their chihuahua Bruiser because we are dog sitting so they can go to Kemah and spend tonight at Lake Conroe.





Then around 11:30 while Brady was finishing up his nap Dylan starts whining that he is bored. So once Brady wakes up from his we load up and head to this little waterpark about 20 minutes down the road. When I say little I mean little. It has 3 big slides(2 of which are identical) and a small baby pool. Brady is to small for the baby pool but should be good to go next year. Brady enjoyed hanging out in the stroller watching all the kids run around. Didn't hear a peep out of him until he started getting hot. I only bought the one hour pass because I figured it would end up getting too hot being in the middle of the day. Of course before we left Dylan had to go get a band-aid because he scraped his big toe on the concrete. Last time we went he banged his head up coming down the slide so I guess a scraped toes is better than a banged up head.

Once home he went straight back outside in the backyard to play. He comes running in telling me that a wasp that was hatching just stung him. I was just like do what!! What are you talking about. I go outside to see this thing and it turns out it was one of the grey and white asp. Those freaking things hurt so bad. So I treated that and we went on about our day. I still haven't figured out how he got stung becuase he said he didn't try to pick it up but it is on his right index finger so I think someone is telling a little story!!

When Wesley got hime from work we started doing some yard work. I hopped on the riding lawnmower and start getting after it. Well on my first round in the backyard there is a huge water mocassin and it hauls butt to hide in our bonfire. I hollar at Wesley and tell him to do something because I can't stand snakes. So he goes ahead and lights the bonfire and we didn't see the snake make an exit. Buh-bye snakey!!! The darn thing is still on my mind though so I can guarantee that I will wake up at least once jumping out of the bed thing something is slithering on me. Most of our yard work is done so that leaves us with most of the weekend looking pretty empty!!

Now we are all showered up and relaxing!! AHHHH

Oh and I only wanted for a cigarette 2 times today!! Much better that yesterday. I stayed a lot busier today though so maybe if I can keep busy that will help too. The bad thing about this whole ordeal is I am wanting to eat constantly. It won't surprise me if I see a few more pounds on the scale which kinda sucks!!

Made it through the day........

I made it through the day without a cigarette. Can't say that I didn't want one. Went to the store and actually thought about buying "just one pack" but Dylan's little voice was ringing in my head and I refused. I think it is mainly habit, not so much needing the nicotine. Just that habit of going outside after meals and when Brady is napping to escape a little. Once I can get used to not doing that routine I am hoping it will get easier. I'm just taking it one day at a time.

Last one....Hopefully!!

Dylan has been after me for a while to stop smoking and I told him after I finished off this carton I would quit. Well I just put out hopefully my last cigarette. It is so hard to quit. Although when I was preggo the day I found out I put them down with no problem. It was easy then because I knew it could hurt my babies. I never smoked in my house or in my vehicles or around my kids but I know that the smell still lingers on my clothing. I hate that!!! I really feel sorry for DH because I know I'm not going to be a fun person to be around these first few days but eventually the cravings and moodiness will subside and it will be worth it. I hope that neither of the boys ever decide to smoke. It is really a hard habit to break. I am going to try to go at it without any meds, patches or gum. I am determined so hopefully I can stick with it.

Summer fun!!

We had so much fun today hanging out with my mom and just playing. We played in the pool, I got a few pics of my mom with the boys and they played on the tractor(no they weren't really driving it). As you can see the boys really love their Grammy and the feeling is mutal on her part!!! Just an all around realxing day. Brady LOVES the pool so much and Dylan is my little fish he would live in the water if I let him. I was always the same way when I was younger and still am. I would much rather go to a water park than an amusement park. My hubby on the other hand is just the opposite.

It's so weird.....

Without the kids!! My mom came by here around 7:00 tonight and wanted to take the boys home with her. Usually she just takes Dylan but tonight she took both of them because I am supposed to go to her house in the morning anyways. The house is weirdly quiet and I do not know what to do with myself when they are gone. I am lost and bored without them. Although tomorrow morning I will actually know what it feels like to get to sleep in a little bit. Sleeping in for me is 8:30 or so but that is 2 hours more than what I am used to. Brady's morning wake up time has been 6:30 here lately which I guess I can handle since he is now sleeping through the night. I would much rather get up at 6:30 than be up during the night.

Brady has also learned how to climb on my dishwasher door....no fun. Today he decided he would stand up while he was up there and I swear I almost had a heart attack therefore no picture of him standing. He is getting so big!!! I just can't beleive he will be a year old in less than 2 months.

What a day!!!

We have been gone since 10:30 this morning and just got home around 7:00. My feet are killing me and I just want to crawl into bed. We have finished all of Dylan's school clothes, shoes, and supply shopping. I just can't beleive he will be going back to school in a month. I went ahead and got all of his clothes etc. because all the stores were having HUGE sales this weekend. I'm glad it is done and over with and I don't have to worry about it anymore.

We also went to BRU and I got Brady's b-day gifts. We ended up getting him a pull along bead maze, lawn mower that says abc's, battery powered lil quad atv(we ordered this off of Amazon) and I had his toddler Cars bedding and a few other toys already put away. So I am also done with that!!! YAY!! Such a releif. I wish I could rest tomorrow but I know that is not going to happen because I have several load of laundry to do and my floors need to be swept and mopped since I didn't do a thing around the house today.

I guess I'll give it a try!!

The wonderful friends I have made on SheKnows have inspired me to try out this whole blogging thing. Don't know how great of a read it will be but I will give it a try!! When I was a teenager I loved the whole journal thing but haven't done it in years. Of course back then I had to watch what I wrote because my mom LOVED to snoop. She would snoop in my room every single chance she got whether I be at school or staying at a friends house. When she suspected me of smoking I remember coming home from my friends house and my room being turned completely upside down and inside out. It was awful. Needless to say she didn't find anything. Don't get me wrong I love my mom to pieces and don't know what I would do without her but as a teenager my feelings were so not the same. I hope that as a mother I can refrain myself from the whole snooping thing but I have a feeling that the first suspicion I have about one of the boys I'm sure I will be digging into things!!
