I'll miss the friendship that we once shared.

My little Ryder has another blocked tear duct. His left eye got all mucousy about a week after I had him and it cleared up before his 1 month appointment. He woke up from a nap about a hour ago and his right eye was all mucousy.

Billy called about our internet and we have to get a new piece. The tech person said that it sounded like our thing is bad (I'm not really sure what it's called) We won't be able to make it to a Verizon store until Sunday. So I'm gonna have to deal with it disconnecting after awhile.

Still making believe you aren't at all crazy

Hunter drove me crazy today.He wouldn't stop getting into things. It wasn't normal for him. He's calmed down now because he's eating cereal. He loves breakfast type foods.




When Hunter got up we ran to Walgreens to pick up my pictures that Billy uploaded yesterday. We picked up a few other things that we really didn't need. Like candles and toothbrushes.


Hunter was suppose to have a doctor's appointment today and he couldn't go for the 2nd time. Last week he was suppose to go for a check up for a tick bite and also his 3 year wellness check. Well he couldn't go because he is at a new pediatrician and they couldn't give him shots due to them not having his medical records. The reason they didn't have his records because apparently his last dr. closed her office and they had to try harder than normal to get his medical records. Now today he couldn't go because the wellness checkup dr. was on vacation. Whoever scheduled the appointment wasn't suppose to. So now he has to go next week and so does Ryder. There is no way that they are both getting shots on the same day. Hunter is finally getting his MMR shot after I delayed it for 2 years, so he may be fussy.


I started Ryder's scrapbook today and finished it. Which wasn't hard because I only had like 2 months to do on his. I need to buy another book for Hunter. I haven't worked on his since he was 25 months old and now he's 37 months old! I decided that I'm going to make a 'brother' scrapbook for pictures that I have of both of them.


My internet has been pissing me off the last few days. I have broadband internet (thanks to living in the country) and it disconnects after about 5 minutes. I guess Billy will have to call technical support tomorrow.


I guess I have to end it here because I need to give the boys a bath and put them to bed.

Save your happiness for tomorrow

We had a great weekend. It was so nice to have Billy here all weekend.

Friday- Obviously, the 4th. We got up and ran to Festus to see if any stores had anything good on sale, due to the holiday. We went to Peebles (it seems to be a store that carries the same clothes as JCPennys) I got a few shirts and Hunter got a few toys. We also decided to go to Kmart. I got the boys lots of pjs for like $3 a piece. We then went to my parents. They were having a party for my dad's side of the family. Hunter loves it when we have family get togethers. He loves playing with his cousins Jordan and Tyler. He was enjoying playing with them so we decided to sneak away and go get fireworks. We found a stand and got some things. We didn't get too much, because last year he was afraid of fireworks and we didn't want to buy a lot just in case.

Hunter stayed at my parents for awhile afterwards, so Billy and I went home and we played Rock Band.

When Hunter came home Billy shot off some fireworks. Turns out Hunter is still afraid. He watched from the house but he wouldn't go outside.

Saturday-We wanted to go out and go shopping. My mom wanted to go as well. I honestly didn't want her to go. For three reasons:

1. It had been weeks since Billy and I got to spend time together out with the kids.
2. She spends hours looking at one store and never buys anything.
3. She wanted to go to a completely different mall than what where we planned on going.

I couldn't be mean and say no, so she came along. We went to Macy's first. I got the boys some clothes. We went upstairs to the adult clothes. I didn't find anything there. Which is usual. I'm pretty picky about clothes and usually can only find things I like at certain stores. Well my mom spent a long time in the store. Ryder started getting fussy, so I decided to go to the family lounge, so I could feed him. I love that about malls around here. It's so nice that they have rooms for you to breastfeed your baby. I had Billy call my mom and let her know where we went. I expected her to go there once she was done. I nursed him for at least a half hour. When she didn't show up we just went shopping by ourselves. She eventually found us at a store called Deb. She said that she wanted to see if Sears had anything on sale. So we followed her since we had left her earlier. She spent over a hour looking in one section...not even the whole store...one little section. She only bought two shirts. When we finally left, Billy went and got his eyebrows threaded. He usually gets them waxed, but a threading store opened up, and he decided to try it. He said that it hurt lol.

When we got back my mom apparently was sad that we left her at the mall. She told my dad this. I told him that I told her that we told her where we went and she never showed up. He said that she told him that she didn't know where it was at. Which is complete bullshit, because my mom went to the mall with me the previous week and I nursed Ryder in the family lounge then. My mom is slowly going crazy at the age of 45. I love her, but she does drive me nuts because of this.

Sunday- We needed to make a 'circle' around the town we live in. We had to go to a lot of stores. We went to my mom's work first (Walgreens) I had to pick up a few small things. We then went to the cemetery to Camille's grave. I hadn't been there since about a week before Ryder was born. I feel so bad, I just hadn't had a lot of time to go. I put a butterfly decoration on her grave. When we were done we went and picked up some medicine for our Lab. She has allergies and she's been scratching at her back. She's going bald where she has been rubbing her back on the rocks :( We went to Walmart after that to pick up some pictures. I decided to work on my scrapbooks. I never made one for Camille. I had been meaning to do one, but I just didn't have time. I had to make myself make time, because it's been 18 months since I had her. Plus, I had to catch up on Hunter and start Ryders. I had some pictures developed of her and got some stuff for the book.

When we finally got home, Billy took Hunter outside to go swimming. Ryder slept and I started and finished Camille's book! I got so sad looking at her pictures. Ryder looks like her so much from the side. All three kids have the same nose. It feels like a dream. It all happened too fast.
Today-I put 436 pictures onto a CD to get developed. I hadn't developed any pictures since when I first got pregnant with Ryder. Luckily, at my mom's work this week, they are giving employees and their families 55% off photo prints. I'm going to try to remember to finish this later, House is on and I want to watch it.

Your footprints mark the path

Billy was right. He got off at 9am this morning. So he worked from 4pm-9am. I feel so bad for him. He had to be at work at 4pm again today (which is usual.) He had to get up though at 12:30 to take Hunter to the dr. Turns out Hunter couldn't see the dr. today. His new dr.'s office couldn't get ahold of his old one and get his medical records. So we had to reschedule it for the 8th. It's nothing important really, it's just his 3 year checkup. Anyways, Billy was so tired. He said that they don't have as much to do tonight. He found out that he doesn't have to work on Saturday. Yipee! I wish that I would have known that way ahead of time. I would have planned a getaway this weekend. Too late now.


The kids and I have had a mellow day today. Hunter played outside earlier. He wanted to wear a football jersey and giraffe rain boots. I'm assuming he wanted to wear rain boots, because he made a muddy mess in the yard.









Billy finally got a good picture of Ryder smiling. He won't smile for me when I play with him. I serve one major purpose for him, and that's feeding him. So, I'm not a fun person.




Tomorrow, my parents are having a family get together. I think Hunter and I are going to make some kind of patriotic food to bring. I don't know what yet. Maybe chocolate covered pretzels with red, white, and blue sprinkles. Something easy!

There's a special place knowing no end

The gist of my day, today ~ I woke up and took a bath. Got myself and Ryder dressed. I went out to the living room and watched a bit of TV, while feeding Ryder. I made Hunter breakfast, which he barely ate any of. I cooked lunch and woke Billy up at 12:30. I cleaned up for a bit while Billy and Hunter washed his car before work.

He wants to sell his car. I don't think it's a good idea. I like his car. Even though I can't drive it, because it's a manual. I wanted to learn. I also wanted to learn how to do mods on his car. I've always been interested in cars, especially Mustangs.

Anyways, to get back on track, Billy aggravates the living crap out of me sometimes. It's the pure laziness (or maybe lack of caring) that drives me insane. I folded up Hunter's laundry and put them in order of what drawers they go in. He has 4 drawers in his dresser and things needed to go into each. I asked Billy to put them up, figuring it was an easy task for him to do. Nope, a few hours ago, I got out Hunter's pjs for after his bath. He shoved them all into one drawer.

He left for work. My dad came over shortly after asking if him and my mom could take him out when my mom got off work. My dad never asks things like that, so I said yes. They came and got him. I was hoping to have it easy with one kiddo. Of course not, Ryder ate a lot. When Hunter came back home with a Burger King crown on. I couldn't help but laugh. My mom brought the food he didn't eat home...Mac & Cheese. I had no idea that BK sold that on the kid menu.

Hunter started being a typical 3 year old. He kept on aggravating my dog, Molly. She didn't want to be by him and he kept on following her around. He wanted to read to her. He then asked if he could wake his brother up. I told him no. He decided not to listen and banged on his drums. I finally calmed him down by fixing him dinner. He didn't want to eat too much, so I had to feed him.

I got Hunter and Ryder's baths ready. I cleaned them up. I took Ryder to his room when he was done. Hunter followed behind, then he went back to the bathroom and dumped out Ryder's tub. I had a massive amount of water to clean up. Thanks Hunter.

Now, Hunter is watching Wow Wow Wubzy in my room and Ryder is asleep.

Billy sent me a text message saying that they had 9 more hours of work to do. I feel so bad for him. Holidays are so ruff for him. See he works for Pepsi and people buy a lot of soda and other Pepsi products for holidays. He went in at 4pm and it's about 12am. So 9 more hours is like 9am. That's flipping ridiculous. They are short handed and have been since Memorial Day. They refuse to hire anyone, even though they 2 missing for a full crew. It's a fortune 500 company and they can't have a full staff. It's horrible, he hasn't seen much of Ryder since he was born. He's worked the last 2 Saturdays, even though he's suppose to be off. He has to work this Saturday, because he's off on the 4th.

Ok, I suppose I'm done now. I'm going to put Hunter to bed now.

1st real post

So this may be my 1st real post here. I haven't had too much time to get around to it yet. I used to use livejournal back in the day and more recently I used Xanga. I still go there from time to time.

Today, I haven't got too much accomplished. I woke up and cleaned for a bit. I still have more to do. I made lunch and woke Billy* up. We went to Wal-Mart to get Ryder** a new bath tub and we ended up walking out with a lot more. $150 more. I'm not too fond of the place but I always end up spending much more than I would like. Hunter*** decided that he wanted a birthday cake. I bargained with him and told him that I would share a $4 one with him if we could go home and make a big cake on our own. It's my fault though. See the last time we went to WM he wanted a Speed Racer cake and I told him that we had to finish his actual bday cake first. I thought I outsmarted the newly turned 3 kiddo, but nope he remembered. Note to self: Don't tell your kid anymore that you'll get it later, because he'll remember.

We hit Sonic on the way home. I got the new banana split blast thing and it was yummy. Darn them for making a banana split in a less messier form that I can have while driving.

I'm usually an avid picture taker. I have to figure out how to open my memory card door on my new laptop. I got a new laptop last week and I didn't read the directions. Computers are self explanitory so I figured it wasn't needed. I have no idea where the USB cable is, so that's not an option.

I must go now. Hunter wants some snacks to eat now.





*Billy=My husband
**Ryder=My son who was born on 5/13/08
***Hunter=Oldest son born on 6/9/05

Just a little test.
