I emailed Billy at 5:30 tonight. It's now 9:12 and I haven't heard from him. He had lunch at 8. Grr. It's really not hard to check your phone. Why have a cell phone if you don't use it?
This weekend Hunter needs to pick out a Halloween costume. He hasn't decided on his yet. He wanted to be a clown at first. Then Woody from Toy Story and a few other things. Hopefully we can find something this close to Halloween. We bought Ryder's in September. He's going to be Brobee from Yo Gabba Gabba. I tried persuading Hunter to be DJ Lance Rock. He wouldn't do it.
I really can't wait till I see pomegranates in stores. It should be really soon. I hate that they aren't available all year round :(

Layout change
I decided to change my layout. Old pictures are messing it up a bit though :( I don't feel like going back and resizing them at this point.
I'm going to eat some left over Chinese food!

Crazy
A few years ago when we lived in St. Louis one of our vehicles needed new breaks and rotors. The total for parts and labor was a little over $1,000.
We went out over the weekend. I was driving. I pulled into a parking spot at a Chinese restaurant and my breaks squealed. Billy got out to look at my wheels. He said that he noticed some metal off the rotors. I don't know lol.
I waited for the weekly local classified newspaper to come today, so I could look at car repair ads. Billy called one of the places today. They said worst case scenario it would cost $180. I've been worried about prices for days now since I found out I would need breaks at least. I'm so relieved! I thought we would be out $1,000!

Gonna start posting again
Things are finally starting to settle down since summer is gone. Now it's time to stay home and relax. Trying to stay home as much as possible to avoid all the sick people.
We recently switched almost all of our services over to new companies. We're trying to save as much as possible with the new little one (due in April). We switched Direct TV over to Charter. Verizon internet to Charter. Verizon phone services to T-mobile. With us just switching our cell phone bill, our TV, internet, and new cell phone plan is cheaper than our Blackerry plan with Verizon. We paid nearly $200 a month for our cell phones. That's not including TV and internet. So for cell, internet, & TV is roughly $200 now! I miss my Blackberry, but my new phone is almost as cool. I still get my emails sent to my phone. I got a facebook app. No twitter though :( Maybe I can find a 3rd party app soon. I haven't searched for one really.
What's cool with switching those services we have about $200 in visa gift cards on the way!
So I'm 13ish weeks pregnant. I'm switching OBs. I'm not happy. My OB pretty much has talked down on me. She was fairly nice when I got my pap smear and birth control. Things changed when I got pregnant. I'm not having someone who talks to me like I'm a child be my caretaker. I'm not going continue to go there and pay my insurance for a rude doctor. Plus I've had appointments canceled with no calls. I have to get up early in the mornings to find out that she's been in delivery for about 2 hours. Wouldn't that 2 hours been enough time to call me? Even with canceled appointments I was able to get an ultrasound.
I really wish we didn't live so far away from my old OB in St. Louis
I'll update a little more later. There are some things I need to get done now.

Be yourself and you'll be cool
This weekend we are going to look at a house in Southern Illinois to possibly buy. This is nearly two hours away from where we are currently living. So I decided to tell my mom the good news [or so I thought] She was extremely upset. She said that she didn't want us to move. We currently live an hour away from her and we don't go see her but once a month. Maybe 2 if there is something special going on up her way. She made it out like she isn't going to get to see the boys that much. She wouldn't see them any less than what she sees them now.
She gets upset when I tell her certain things. Like if we are going on vacation or doing something fun. She'll say, "Why don't you ask your dad if he wants to go." My dad usually says no. He doesn't want to go because he's disabled. He can't walk for long distances and he's too stubborn to get a wheel chair. She won't go without him. So then she tries to give us negative comments about what we are doing to get us to change our minds. I'm leaning that she's jealous that we get to do things and she doesn't. With the house situation I think she's upset because we are in a better position than what her and my dad was when they were my age...or even right now.
She's making me feel really guilty about moving. I can't let her bring me down about it. I talked to her again today about it and she said 'well you know how I feel about you moving" Every time we have went and looked at houses to matter where she brings on the negative comments. I really think that she doesn't want us to buy a house. I think that if we moved to Southern Illinois and we rented a house she'd be fine. That's not the case. She was ok when we moved to St. Louis and she was ok when we moved to where we are at now...because we're renting.
My dad and her didn't buy their first house until I was in the 4th grade. The only reason was because my dad got a settlement from a major accident at his work {which is why he's disabled}.
My dad couldn't be happier for us. He wants to go with us to see the house. I would love for him to go but my mom will have to come. I know she'll ask a million questions to find the flaws. I'm going to have to sadly tell my dad I don't think they should come. I know he'll understand and will probably be just as happy if I email him pictures.
Anyways I can't wait to see the house!

they can only twist your arm so much.
I haven't been posting much. Mainly, because Ryder has become a little terror. Seriously. This is a whole new ballgame for me. Hunter was/is a laid back kid. Ryder definitely not. I guess I'm going to order the Dr. Sears book on disciplining. That way I'll have a head start lol. I had a bad feeling that he was going to be a handful around 8 months or so. Hunter loved playing in Ryder's crib with him at the time. Hunter would be sitting there good playing with a toy attached to the crib. Out of no where Ryder would lean over and tackle him.
I barely have time to get on the computer these days. Most of my online time is spent on my Blackberry.
We've also been enjoying the nice weather. Saturday we spent most of the day at Rockford Beach with my friends Krystal, Kelly, & their girls. Also Amanda and her girls. It was fun. Hunter was scared to go swimming. He spent most of the time playing in the sand. Ryder loved being out in the water. It was a lot of fun.
Krystal and Kelly invited Billy and I to some hippy festival at the end of July. We may go. It's for two days and you camp out in a field just listening to music the entire time. Sounds like fun. I'm kinda afraid of what happens at a event like that. What I'm looking forward to (if we go) is the stuff they will be selling. I've been wanting a really cool hemp necklace. I guess that'll be a good place to buy one.
So Billy and I have been doing the whole "Not trying but not avoiding" thing. Well that's coming to a stop tomorrow. For the reason of Ryder being a handful. I can't handle another kid right now. So I have an appointment to get birth control. So it's up in the air when we'll have our third kid.
