Good Mercy

I am so ready for the next nine days to pass. I am so ready for the school year to be done with so that Summer can start. Then after school is out vacation is just around the corner. I am really starting to look forward to going to Disney World with Mom and Dad and of course Elijah. I just hope that I can get Dad to wear the Mickey ears for the have to have picture with Mickey. I think I am the most excited one about it all. I am trying not to over plan or under plan. We are also going to Cocoa Beach while we I'll probably come back Lobster Red, but oh well as long as Elijah doesn't.

Happy Birthday

The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly

So it's 11 pm and I am supposed to be in bed asleep, but can't. Instead I am watching tv about an egyptian girl that was born with two heads. In the meantime, I have got a killer headache that I am sure will go away with sleep, and I find myself typing away here. Truth be told, I am restless. There is so much crap rolling around this head of mine that I wished it would stop. I have a paper to write for class, I have Elijah's birthday on Wednesday, I have to get my room spotless before he gets back on Tuesday, I've got work all week, baby shots Friday, child support hearing on the 4th (no I don't have to go, but it's still on my mind) and all I can do is sit up and watch Discovery Health. Now watching the story of the baby born without a face. I've also come to the realization that I HATE being lonely and am starting to long for a relationship. I want someone to talk to, to go out and do things with, to give a comforting hug. I really just want someone. Don't get me wrong, I love that little man I've got in my life, oh my goodness, he is just amazing, but not having him here for the past almost two weeks, just really made me see how much I miss being in a relationship. I would absolutely love one day to be married, and to hopefully have another baby, but at the rate things are going now, it's never going to happen, and that has really depressed me a lot this weekend. Also against better judgement, I have really been thinking about how things would have been if I had not gotten pregnant. Would things have worked out differently between his dad and myself? Would I have gone back to school or would I still just be passing time? I can honestly say that I can't imagine life without Elijah. He is so sweet and loving. I have missed the way he smiles at me when he first wakes up in the morning, and his little slitty eyes when he's feeling all lovey and then he slobbers you down with kisses. I also really miss my bed be taking over and having his little pudgy feet kicking me in the face in the middle of the night. I wouldn't trade things or change things, but sometimes I do wonder what if. Oh, well. I'll just keep praying that things workout the way that they are supposed to. That's really all that can be done. And who knows, maybe I will get married and have another baby before I get way too old.

Is it bad to be counting down to the end of the School Year?????

So it's close to the end of the school year and I'm starting to kinda feel a little guilty about counting down to the last day. It's not that I don't like my job, it's that I am just ready for the summer. I can't wait until my vacation, and nice hot weather. Not to mention not having to wake up early.

I really enjoyed my quick and speedy trip to Arlington this past weekend. I got to see just about everyone. I wished that I would have had more time to see more people, but it just didn't work out. I must admit, I did pout when I had to come back to Wyoming. I just have to keep telling myself that it's not forever, and hopefully it won't be!!

Elijah's birthday is coming up and I am somewhat sad about it. The year has just flown by. He's growing up too fast. I have to admit that at times I still wished that he was that tiny little boy that used to sleep in his bassinet beside me. Now he's a big boy that hogs the whole bed and kicks me in the face with his pudgy little feet. I still love him though!! Well, I don't have much more to say right now, I'm going to finish watching Little Miss Sunshine and try to go to bed and get some sleep so that I am prepared for tomorrow. See ya'll later!!

Good gravy!!! I need tons of chocolate and DP!!!!

Ok, so Spring Break is over and I'm back to work.

I think that last time I talked to ya'll I was freaking out over a test. Needless to say I pass my test with and 85!! Woo HOO!!!!! I got some points taken off for being too nervous and my signing was too hard to read since my hands were shaking so much. Well let's see...... during Spring Break Elijah got his pictures taken. I know it wasn't quite a full year, but it's close enough. The pictures were so cute and it was hard to choose the ones I wanted. I ended up spending twice as much as I had planned, but I guess that's how it goes and the reason why I only take him to get pictures once a year! He also went to the dentist. That actually went well. He doesn't have any cavities and I am supposed to start flossing his teeth.....noticed I said supposed to. Haven't quite made it around to actually trying it yet. He does pretty good when it comes to brushing his teeth. The only problem we have there is that he never wants to give the toothbrush up! I'm sure it's an ok problem to have.

He gave Grandma and Grandpa a scare yesterday. He was eating with Isabel and he had an allergic reaction to something. They took him into the ER and I met them up there when I got off work. He's ok now; they gave him some Benadryl and monitored him for a while before sending him home. He has his follow up visit tomorrow with his doctor and we'll see what they say. I was truly hoping that he wouldn't inherit all my allergy problems, but obviously didn't happen. Otherwise he is GREAT!! He finally got his first top tooth and has a total of three teeth. And boy let me tell ya he is proud of those teeth!

As for me, I am just looking forward to my visit to Texas and the end of the school year. It has been a long year especially with all the adjusting we have had to do. (New home, job, mommy role, and taking classes) I am just ready for a break from everything, well almost everything. I really don't have much more to say. I guess I'll talk to ya'll later!

It was supposed to be playing with the song Baby Mine in the background, but there are copyright issues so no song! :(

Thank God it's Spring Break!!!

I am so glad to get a break from work and school. I enjoyed the day today with Elijah. One of the few times that I was actually able to just sit back and enjoy being a mom. It was great!! I loved it. We rolled around on the floor just laughing and giggling. Then we took a long nap, and woke up and danced a little. We had the house to ourselves and it was just us. It was nice, I think we both enjoyed it.

Now the picture.....Grandma was watching him Friday while I ran to Walmart to get him some wipes and a bigger carseat. She said that he got quiet, and she looked to see what he was in to. She soon found out. He had eaten some leftover chocolates that I had gotten for Valentines. Needless to say he likes chocolate!! Well, we are gonna sign off for the night. We got a busy week ahead. He's getting his pictures taken on Tuesday, and going to the dentist on Thursday. They are going to look at all two and a half teeth he has! Talk to ya'll later.

Monday Night

Well, it's about 8 pm Monday night. Grandpa is rocking Elijah hoping that he falls asleep. I'm pretty happy that he has been spending at least half the night in his crib, and remain hopeful for the full nights sleep. In desperation to lose weight I have started walking. I walked a mile today and am telling myself that I am going to walk a mile tomorrow, one will have to wait and see if it actually happens. I had a really good day at work today, no kid melt downs which is always a good thing. What also helps is that it's only two weeks til Spring Break...... Woo Hoo!!!!! I can't say that I'm going to do anything exciting, but am hoping that Elijah at least gives me that extra hour of sleep that I get during the weekend. I'm also going to try to get him in to the dentist so that they can check out his two teeth. He's so cute if I may say so myself. I thank God every morning for such a wonderful blessing. He's my little angel!! Well, most of the time. :) I'm kinda stressing out about an upcoming test as well. I am taking classes at the junior college here. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on the university, until I knew how I was going to handle working, mommy, and school. I must say that it has taken getting used to, but anyways, I'm having my first test in ASL (American Sign Language) and I am so nervous about it. I will definitely have to spend this weekend practicing which is the same thing as studying. I just hope I pass it. I don't have to make an A by any means, I'd be happy with a C, I just want to pass!!! So, if you can pray for me at 3:50 (4:50 Texas time) as I take my test. I am also taking multi-cultural diversity class which is actually listed under education. Well, I don't know what else to say right at the moment other than I am ready to come down for a visit, which isn't far away, and yes I am counting the days!! Not only am I counting the days until I see you wonderful people, but also to the end of the school year. I got great vacation planned, and yes you guessed it, we're going to Disney World!!!!! I so excited!! Elijah's first picture with Mickey!!! I can't wait!!!!!!! It's also going to be Mom's first time, and Dad's second. I have been trying to not over plan, and thankfully I haven't had to much time to do it, but come April......it's on!!!!!! Alright, seriously it's time to go. Elijah's in his crib asleep, and I should probably take my shower before he wakes up. Goodnight!!! MWAH!!!!

A Night of sleep?

Well, it has been a somewhat uneventful day. I got a makeover done, courtesy of Makeovers by Isabel....good when you don't have no where to go, or really want your eyebrows to stand out. It was fun though. I was going to take a picture of the after makeover, but ran out of time. Elijah slept in his crib for his nap which lasted a whole thirty minutes. He woke up looking around with this incredibly funny look on his face which said "yeah right, you expect me to stay in here!" Which is why I'm pretty excited that he has been asleep in his crib for the past hour now, maybe he'll stay the whole night??? One can only hope, although I've gotten so used to sleeping on the edge of the bed with either a butt or feet in my face, I don't know if I'm going to be able to sleep! It's kinda funny if you think about it. Elijah also had a tumble today. Someone left the baby gate open and down the stairs he went. It was only six steps, and before everyone freaks out he is ok. I was sitting on the potty cause my stomach was hurting, and I hear my mom exclaim "Elijah!!!!!!" So when I made it out of the bathroom, she told me that he had fallen. After I comforted him I had to run back to the bathroom. But like I said, he's ok, and Mama's ok too. We ate and watched a boxing match and he went to bed and I am here rambling. I do hope he sleeps all night through and in his bed, simply because I would like to sleep all night too. I really don't have much to say, so I guess I will bid a farewell.
