So my little car switch-a-roo I had to do yesterday was completely disappointing. I went from a brand new Yaris to this old, ugly, filthy Sunfire. I HATE Sunfires. You can tell how spoiled I am because I find the manual locks to be completely annoying, especially when I’m dealing with a little one. I… Continue reading Stupid Sunfires

Okay, the baby has been dropped for three weeks. TIME TO COME OUT! Silas wasn’t dropped for this long I don’t think. It’s weird because I have less braxton hicks than I did a few weeks ago and I feel less pressure as well. Am I just used to it? I’d like him to come… Continue reading Time To Come OUT!

Yesterday I had nothing to write about but I really did, I just forgot.  When I was at the theater watching SM3 I was astonished to see young children there.  I HATE that.  It’s even a school night people, not to mention and totally inappropriate movie for children.  This poor little girl (looked about five)… Continue reading Spiderman 3 and Bad parenting

Silly me, my sheets are in the laundry, where will I nap?  I guess I can try the couch but Ellen is so darn entertaining. Last night I saw Spiderman and it wasn’t as wonderful as the first ones.  Too bad because they spent tons of money on it.  They just over-did it and when… Continue reading Boring Today

I don’t know if I mentioned that I had lost my keys this Saturday.  I searched for them high and low and after finally feeling defeated about it last night, I had a good 45 minute cry about it (I’m sure the cry had to do with other things but this put me over the… Continue reading Glorious Relief

The best part about today, thus far, is that my chiropractor adjusted me and I feel much better.  Afterwards Jules and I went for a walk which was nice.  Now I just need to go into labor!  I mainly want to go into labor so I don’t get any more stretch marks on my tummy… Continue reading This and That

Welp, I just got my rental car.  It’s a cute little Yaris, they are rather spacious.  I meet with my adjuster tomorrow and I guess we’ll go from there.  So far friggen driver girl hasn’t filed her claim.  I just want this all to be over!!! Last night we gave our Mom the best mothers… Continue reading The Best Present EVER!

So, yesterday I got in a car accident.  It wasn’t my fault at all which is the only nice part about it.  This is all about stupid people who are to courteous of drivers and stupid people who don’t look when they’re making a turn.  I was coming down a very busy street yesterday with… Continue reading Friggen Drivers

So, we’ve found a house and we’re signing on the dotted line today.  All of this is subject to the inspection and whatnot.  We like this place, it’s in a smaller area that’s really close to Colin and Leanne and their son Lucas.  I loved the area.  When we got there we saw a bunch… Continue reading Done and Done

When I got pregnant with Silas, it was a total surprise. We were attempting to NOT get pregnant using natural family planning, apparently you can get pregnant if you ovulate 6 days after intercourse…who knew? The first 7 months was barfing Hell. I took Diclectin which is a wonder pill but I couldn’t afford to… Continue reading Silas’ Birth Story

welp, nice try no cigar.  We didn’t get the place.  There was an offer on it by the time we offered and so we thought we’d offer kinda high but the people came back and offered 1 thou above the asking price.  Oh well.  They obviously wanted it much more than we did.  I don’t… Continue reading No Cigar 🙁

So, we found a place we like and this afternoon we’re going to put an offer on it.  It’s lovely and in a older complex but it’s lovely.  Also, it’s empty so we can move in ASAP!  The back yard is amazing and there’s this nice little private deck that comes off our master bedroom. … Continue reading Crossing Fingers

I know I’ve mentioned how much I love my chiropractor but I need to say it again, I LOVE MY CHIROPRACTOR! After being adjusted I get this wonderful endorphin rush. It’s simply wonderful. I can see why though, you just feel good once you’re aligned. When I was waiting in his office I had so… Continue reading Divine Intervention Please!

Man, I’ve been reprimanded by a few people for missing a day of blogging. You people are spoiled by my consistency. Yesterday Brent and I got out and looked at different townhouse complexes. Some of the places we’ll be looking at are rather frightful. After that I went right to Jennie’s house to work on… Continue reading Spoiled Rotten

Well, my spirits are much higher today, it’s funny how much more you can love your child on a proper night’s sleep.  Silas slept until 8 without waking much in the night and I also didn’t wake up much in the night to pee!! WOOOT.  I feel like a million bucks.  Well, a lot better… Continue reading Oh Glorious Sleep!
