A new day

   The whole family had a wonderful time on our trip. Camping in cabins is truly the best kind of camping! It has the best of both worlds with air conditioning inside and wild horses right outside our door. Fisher loved to look at all the animals that he could spot. I saw him trying to follow a bunny as it hopped across the lawn. He also LOVED the water, he was splashing and kicking around with a smile on his face. After a little while he was all tuckered out and fell asleep in the folding chair.
   We pushed the vacation to the limit leaving at 10 at night for a two and a half hour drive. Mommy and daddy were wiped out but Fisher slept the whole drive home. The next day it was hard to adjust to being all alone durning the day again and not having help all the time. It is nice to be home.
  Well today is Thursday and we can not wait to sit here and do nothing this weekend, maybe some movies or a trip outside to the pool. I love the days when it is just me and my two boys. They melt my heart. I am feeling pretty blessed lately, realizing that there are not many people that have the resources to stay at home with thier litte ones.
   However, I have decided that I need to do something more with my life while I stay home with little man. I am pretty sure that I am going to go to school online for medical billing. It is a pretty exciting thought. I am also going to loose a ton of weight. We have been on a low calorie diet for the past few days and today I am going to kick it up a few notches. Cutting even more calories and begining exercise is the first part of my plan. The second is to focus more on myself and my family and less on other people and media. I am also going to put effort into learning things like driving. It has always scared me. During all the other thing I'm also going to go to the doctor for stress and anxiety. Also, I have to learn to put myself first sometimes. Taking a long bath while Fisher sleeps or taking a few extra minutes to get ready in the morning so I have confidence walking out the door.

So in conclusion to this rambling, this is the day of me. Today is a new beging to a better attitude, body and mind. I am so ready.

Time for a nap

   Well its here! Finally a few days to relax, have help with Fisher and hopefully get a tan. I NEED THIS! Yesterday was a whirlwind of a day only topped by the day before that. Thursday went fin for the most part until the night. Let me tell you, it was a hellish night full of baby screams and cries for a solid 2 hours. He did not want to sleep for anything, no matter how tired and crank he was. Justin hopeless rocked and sang to the boy until he could no longer take the noise. Fisher would not even take a bottle until he was cradled to his satisfaction.
   The next morning (Friday) was as normal as possible. We left at one in the afternoon to go to the doctor only to hear how my insurance expired. I was absolutely livid, seeing as I need insurance and that is the one and only reason we are not married. I cried. Come to find out some people just are not smart because I do have insurance. So we move on with the day and as I sit in the back seat with the baby he begins to fuss. This continues on and off for the next several hours while we drive back and forth from one town to another spending over $100 on anything and everything for me and Fisher to go on the trip with. Finally we got home and went to bed around midnight.
   I guess that brings us to today, it is about 8 am here and baby boy is on my lap napping. He needs it because he woke at  this morning. Guess who  was up with him ? Momma! I am tired but I have got alot done. Dishes, swept, clean living room, two load laundry, made snacks for trip, organized groceries from last night, put up Fishers clothes we bought, and pack all of his stuff. Feed, play with and change the baby then put him back to sleep.

Productive huh?

Ready for the weekend

  Ever since we put our self on a strict budget we have had TONS of spending money. We were able to go out every weekend to enjoy ourselves.Well after Justins' family came and went we shortly realized that we had went way over budget spending all of our money for the week. So we sit in the house, we sit after Justin gets home and all through the night. I am bored and lonely, we have no adult interaction other than each other. Now it seems that even the baby is going stir crazy.

   So there is now a count down until Friday (payday) so we can buy a few things and go on a little vacation. Its only to a cabin on the lake two hours away but it might just be fun. I am so excited to take Fisher swimming and romp around the lake for the weekend. We even had a "trial" on Memorial day to see how he reacted. Lots of sunblock, a few apple juice bottles and a dip in the lake later, the boy was tuckered out. We went home shortly later.
 I was a proud proud momma!

   Since the day out went well, we are very ready to go on this little outing. It has been a long week stuffed in the house with the baby's new voice which has turned into the screechy shrieking teenager fase.
Oh on another note, Our Fridge went out. Leaving a soppy mess of spoiled food and a VERY sour smell. Yuck, it was a complete mess that I couldn't touch, therefore recruiting the man of the house to do it. He was a trooper though, only complaing a couple of times. Until it gets fixed we are going back in time and living out of my dorm room refrigerator that only holds about 1/3 of our grocery load. Ugh ! So we went sopping yesterday only buying that amount that would fit in the tiny space. I still spent over $100
