Hanging with the boys

Today is a day that I hang out with my lil men. We watch TV, play games, eat together, and go grocery shopping. When the baby gets up from his nap in a bit we will go to the store and get our supplies for the week. Tomorrow they are both going to be really mad at me! I have to take them to the health department to get their Chicken Pox vac's because our Dr doesn't carry it in stock.

The last time Noah had a needle was near him he screamed so loud that the other nurse came in the room to see if she needed to assist the nurse that was in there to hold him down. He was just screaming not kicking or struggling. I think this is partly my fault that he is so freaked out by needles. When he was getting his 4yr old shots (he'll be 6 in Oct) I didn't tell him that he was going to get a shot that day and when M came in to give him the shot he freaked out and ever since its been like that. I was only trying to help him and I think I made it worse. As soon as he hits the door to triage he starts in with "I don't want a shot" even if its not his turn at the Dr's. Poor M, he hasn't really liked her ever since.

Thank goodness Gabriel is still little and he forgets almost as soon as I pick him up to comfort him. He is growing way to fast for my liking, he will be 2 in Nov. I sure hope that he stays as sweet as he is now. Most days, most all day long he is supper dupper sweet lil man and smiles at everyone. He does have his moments when he can be a little toot but hey nobody's perfect all day long!

that is all...

Total bummer! and Win!

So we went to the kid to kid sale, my new friend was going to get some hair bows for her little girl that is just 2.5months old. (BTW she is too cute for words!) They were 50% off, well they said that the clearance was the ones for the stuff-a-bag sale, so there were marks on the the ones on the racks that had green on them. SO we both assumed without asking that those were the ones on sale. WRONGO! Turns out that there bins that we didn't see when we came in that were the ones for the stuff a bag, there was nothing left in any of the sizes we needed. I guess we should have been there at 7am to actually get anything worth getting.

So we decided to come back to my house and at least let the kiddos play for a bit. Her 3yr old boy and my 6yr old boy got along great! Abby did scare him a bit because she was a bit excited to see the new people but I locked up Molly in her cage so she wouldn't jump on her with the baby. She wasn't to pleased that she was confined to her cage with new people in the house. I hate doing that to her, she is so sweet when she calms down.

So they left and went home to eat lunch, we ate left over spaghetti. What is it with spaghetti? Why does it always taste better the next day? I'm sitting here trying to decide if I want to go to the grocery store today or wait and go tomorrow after church? Naw you know its already almost 100 outside I think I will wait till tomorrow.

that is all...

Small world

So what's up? As I'm sitting here in bed waiting for my pain pill to kick in that I haven't had to take in several weeks I have to decided to post something this evening. (now that I have figured out that chrome will post my blog and that IE was being a PITA)

I am apart of a group on Facebook that my friend from AWW added me to a few weeks ago. I posted on there tonight that I was going to go to a great sale tomorrow at my local Kid to Kid. One lady on there whom I do not know replied that she wishes the one near her would do the same sale. ANOTHER lady asked her where did she live? Turns out that she lives like 20mins from me! WOW that is like crazy right?! So we have exchanged #'s and are going to the sale tomorrow together to try and get our kiddos some winter cloths :) with both of our kids in tow!

I'm excited to make a new friend! I really don't have many friends that live close to me, the closest one lives like an hour from here and we hardly get to see each other. The other 2 ladies that will be my life long bestest friends in the whole world live in OH and NE...

and that is all...

Well Well

So I am going to try to get back into this again, it has been so long since I have posted and so much has happened since then. I will start with the lastest:

I started working for Old Navy here in town my commute to work is all of 3 mintues! SWEET on the gas bill for my car. I'm so glad that I don't have to drive 30mins each way every time I work. I did take a pay cut but I'm closer to home and have more time to spend with my family.

My boys are growing so fast! Gabriel is 19months old and getting into everything that he can get at! He is being very stubborn about talking to mommy, I try to get him to talk but he just laughs at me and runs away. He is such a stinker. Noah will be entering Kindergarden this year. I can't believe that he is going to real school, with homework and loads of friends! We know for sure 1 child that is going to his school that was on his soccer team. I have to go and pick up his trophy from his coach today. I'm excited to see what it looks like.

Well thats all I have time for today, so I'm off here and maybe try to blog again later tonight. later y'all

Thanksgiving

So here I sit in pain again. Hubby snoring away and so is ds5. Both dogs and my youngest is in bed as well. Im going to school this semester and so my last few months have been very hecktic. School 3 days, work 5 days, Mike working 3 days, Noah going to school 5 days a week. oye.... Its a wonder I get outta the house with my shoes on the correct feet! Im taking A&P I and Sociology. I have a B in both classes right now. Im applying to the Health Information Techonology program for next year. I have signed up for just A&P II next semester cuz taking 2 classes and working 40hrs has been way to hard on me and Im just stressed to the max.

I also got a speeding ticket recently. Although I do have the upmost respect for police (my uncle is one) it still pissed me off. Cuz I didnt realize I was speeding until I saw the sign and he was sitting 20ft behind it! Jerk! He saw my DV tags and asked if I was the Veteran, I told him no it was my husband. Officer "tell him thank you for his service, here's your citation" UGH! I find out next week how much its going to be. Please Lord dont let it be more than $150 cuz I might just fant and have a total cow.

This time last year I was in the hosptial having my youngest. I cant believe that he is 1 today! HAPPY BIRTHDAY! love mommy

I sit here just 2 days from Black Friday at work. Im a little worried about my team's preformace. I just hope and pray that they are all awesome and help and replenish and I dont have to yell at anyone for being a pain in my butt. Our new Sales Lead has NEVER worked retail in her life! Poor thing I dont think she knows what's coming! Our new Co-manager she worked at a clothing store last year and they only did about $3000 there. We are planned at $17000 but our DM wants us to do $20,000. This is my 2nd Black Friday with the company and my 3rd Christmas season with Bath and Body Works. We watched a video of a SLT memeber having a nightmare of pretty much the WORST team ever can imange of customer service. I had that nightmare myself! But I know its just a dream and that my team will be fab! Well my pain pill has kicked in so goodnight!

Well well

So here I am its midnight and my hip has me awake with pain. Lovely. There's not alot on TV right now, so I'm watching Lara Croft, the second one. My 4yr old sound asleep, hubby snoring, cat on my legs and dog at the foot of the bed. I would say that we are pretty full right now and nothing else can fit in my bed! Soon I will have to dislodge the cat to get up and move lil man to his bed so I can at least get somewhat comfy to go to bed.

I so glad I'm off this weekend. So glad! I'm ready for 2 days in a row. I worked 40 hours last week, 31 this week, and will have another 40 next week. I'm only a part time employee as a Sales Lead. But I know I wont be complaining when I get my paycheck next week! lol Our other sales lead went to another store that was closer to home for her and so this week and next we are on-boarding a new one so until she is ready to hit the floor running I get extra hours :) We also have physical inventory on Monday, so glad I don't have to do that! I get to open the store while almost everyone else has to do the inventory. For the last few weeks for prep, we haven't been opening any product we don't have to, because if the box is sealed than they don't have to open and count the product. Usually when we get freight on MWF we cut the tops off and put them on the self in the back if we don't need it on the floor for easy replenishment.

So the baby is 8 months old, wow how time flies! He's crawling and getting faster by the day! No teeth yet though. I saw a 6month old in the store today that had 2 teeth already! I have a feeling that lil Mr Gabriel is going to be a early walker and very independent like his big brother. Noah was walking at 9.5 months!

So Ive decided I need some sort of project. Ive been playing with the idea of the 6 items thing, that they have been talking about on the news lately. Its where you have 6 items of everyday wear, work wear and such for I think they said for 30days. Here's a link to the site so you can check it out. I wonder how long I could do it for before anyone noticed.

So what do you think? Should I? I think it would be an interesting project, it would def make me have to be more creative with my belts and such. Let me know whatcha think. Duh I would have to do pictures like everyday to see what I could come up with! Here's a new pic of the baby so you can see my lil man!

Happy Birthday Dad

Today is my Dad's 72 birthday! I sure wish I could see him more. He came out here for 5 days after I had my second son Gabriel. The time before that I saw him out in Vegas when my oldest was 7 or 8 months old, he was crawling but not walking yet so it was sometime then. My oldest is 4 1/2 now :( I certainly miss him lots and lots. Happy Birthday daddy-o, love your Pattie-o
