Memorial Day Weekend

Happy Memorial Day Everyone!!!! 

I'm sitting here at my mom's-- enjoying family time. I haven't seen my sister, brother-in-law, nieces and nephew since November, and they haven't seen Christopher since then either. Oh how he has grown since then, and they definitely can tell!

I came over yesterday after work too to visit and have dinner with them, and now Chris gets to join us. I bought smores for later! I haven't had smores in over a year! 

I hope everyone has a great Memorial Day tomorrow and enjoy going to the lake; hanging with family; maybe enjoy fireworks? or enjoy the beach! Have a great day and a wonderful weekend!!!!

So Many Men, So Little Aspirin!

Men.
I love my husband with all my heart. But sometimes he really drives me nuts. I just did laundry a couple of days ago. In fact I did 10 loads of laundry in the span of 2.5 days. And after asking him if he was going to be wearing the same shorts he wore last night to work for work tonight... and politely responded: "I have no other pairs". That's when I wanted to throw a remote at his head, but unfortunately the remote at the time had made it to the floor and I was too lazy to pick it back up. He refuses to wear his khaki shorts because they're to heavy to maneuver in (I believe that's it what he said). And the brand new shorts I bought for him I think on Valentines Day he said his knife gets stuck in. I refuse to do laundry everyday because I can't afford the electricity bill as it is-- I definitely wouldn't be able to afford it if I did laundry everyday. I don't have a clothes line, so we're constantly running the dryer when I do laundry. (Not that the dryer is going to last much longer).
UGHHHHH Men.

Well my friend Caroline is going to be having a girls night on Tuesday nights and I think I may go. Chris said it was okay with him and that I should really go out. I'm not taking classes this summer, so besides working maybe 1 or 2 days a week I'm home with Christopher most of the time.  Wednesday I'm going over to my mom's to help her paint to get some extra money- and I'll finish that job on Friday. On Thursday I'm going to have my mom watch Christopher for half the day so that Chris and I can finish his bathroom up. It's taken us long enough! Saturday I have to go to work. So it looks like Friday after working at my mom's I'll be doing the laundry.

Well this is my day. =) Enjoy yours!!!!

Mobile & Backwards

We're officially mobile... Just backwards... Yes... I said backwards. He will only crawl backwards for a couple of minutes-- and It's not enough time for me to even get a picture or video of it. I do believe that he will just skip crawling (the right way) all together-- and just walk. Is that normal? To skip crawling and just go to walking or is he just in the 1%???

Well today we've been extremely grumpy. Christopher doesn't want to lay down for a nap. His last bottle will be at 7:30pm and he'll go to sleep. (Hopefully). I know his teeth are bothering him but he just can't seem to cut those top two that are really bothering him. *sigh* Maybe soon? Let's hope!!!


Well... Here's to today!
