Rough week

Oh me oh my! This past week, despite it only being a 4 day work week, was very...... lets just say grrrrrr! The little boy i nanny M-F is an only child (for another 5 weeks) and has not learned the concept of how to share really. So this past week we had to go to his mom's sister's house (his aunt) because they are redoing the wood floors at his house. He got to spend time with grandma and cousins which was great, but i have now seen a side of him that was completely opposite than his normal self.

To start.... he is mean to other kids. Like really mean. Pushes, kicks, hits, pulls... the whole charade. He refuses to share and hits when someone goes near what he is playing with. At his aunt's house there really was no good place for him to take a nap so he had to sleep on the couch. Well 2 of the 4 days he slept for 45mins tops. He usually sleeps 3 hours at home. This made for some really long afternoons.

I really hope that when the baby comes in 5ish weeks that he will not be like this. I am expecting some jealousy but other than that idk what to expect. If you have suggestions on how to handle this please give give give!

Ready for a day off!

OMG! I cannot wait for it to be Friday at 5:15! I have worked everyday for the last 7 weeks and I am sooooo ready to have a day off! I get a 3 day weekend! Josh and I are going to the lake and it could not be more needed. Josh and I haven't had a day together in about 2 months and I so can't wait. I am so excited to be able to spend good quality time with my husband!

Moving!

Josh and I have been soooo busy these last few weeks. We are moving into a town home literally the next street over. We are getting an extra bedroom, extra bathroom, extra garage and about 500 more sqft for not much more rent! we are so excited but we have pulling our hair out with the move and because we work so much it has been hard to get stuff done! We are almost there though. Everything is pretty much moved and now we are just finishing up the painting and cleaning of the old place!

Life!

Well for a while our life was fast paced and going a million mph. Now other than working ALL the time life is just same old same old.

We had kinda ventured into the idea of buying a house again and even found a couple that we really liked, but either need WAY too much work done or we just simply didn't like the feeling we had. On that note we ended the search for a house and thought about looking at other places to rent that were slightly bigger, but so far no such luck.... we will just have to see what happens here in the next couple weeks to come.

I work 7 days a week now so when Josh and I have time together we usually try and spend it that way without distraction.... here recently it has been an hour here 30 minutes there. I just wish we had some good quality time together and hopefully that will happen soon.

A lot of you know that Josh and I are having our problems trying to have a baby, but it is still early on in the game. I have a doctors appointment in October and we will be discussing options. I am nervous/excited/scared. I just want it to be here so we know what to plan. Also hence the decision to start looking for a bigger place just in case it were to happen.

I feel so incredibly blessed to have such a wonderful husband. He treats me like a princess! I am blessed to have a great place to live, two full of energy puppies, 2 working cars, a great job and to be healthy. I see some of my friends on Facebook post things and I think... "Wow I am glad I don't have to walk to work." or "Wow I am glad I don't have to deal with the dramas of break ups and make ups." I truly am grateful for everything I have, yea sometimes I might want more and I try not to be selfish but it is hard.

My life is not all roses though. I have to constantly clean up after our unpotty trained yorkie, I wish more than anything in this world it would be easy for Josh and I to have a baby and in the last week I think Josh and I only spent maybe 10 hours together. There were three days in a row where the only time I saw him was the 3 minutes I was telling him goodbye in the morning. I try and take the bad that comes along with the good even though it is hard.

Please don't think I am being selfish our childish. I don't want people to see me that way. I just want a place to post my feeling without the whole world on Facebook reading it whenever they want.

Josh and I 2011

Here are a few of Josh and I!

Lylah Mae vs. Oliver Logan

There are so many differences between Lylah and Oliver. The are pretty much exactly opposite of each other. They have grown to be completely different puppies.

Lylah 2010

Lylah 2011

Everything about her has changed in that time frame. Her color and her size are a huge difference!

Oliver has changes even more in a shorter amount of time!

February 2011

June 2011

So as you can tell there are many changes and many differences in the two! Aren't they just the cutest things ever!

Update!

Well life has been crazy here lately. I am no longer working at Young Professors Daycare and I am now a nanny for a couple! I am super excited about this change! I have a bunch more to come so keep posted!

The BEST husband EVER!!!!!!

So when I got home from work I was on Facebook and Josh sent me a message saying "I love you!" With a link for a massage!!!!! Yay!!!! I have never had a real one so I am so excited!!!!

frustrated

i am so frustrated right now..... this whole house thing is mind boggling..... can i have any input please!?

DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am done with my associates!!!!!!!!!! Yay!!!!!!!!!! I now have a degree of some sorts!!!!!!!!

STRESSED!

I hate this whole not knowing thing... It is driving me crazy. When can we get in the house? Are we going to be able to close when they want to.....? I hate it! I am just posting this to vent so I hoped you aren't bugged or anything

Moving

Well it looks as if we are moving.... again! I am really excited but a little overwhelmed cause we close in less than 3 weeks and have A LOT to do (and yes all caps is appropriate here). If anyone can lend a helping hand that would be nice because I am sure we will need it! I will post pictures of the new place when it is ready so give me some time (maybe 2 months tops). I am really stoked and could not be more ready to be a homeowner!

Moving forward

Well the last couple of weeks have been interesting. I went to the doctor and everything came back normal.... I was kinda hoping it wouldn't because that would at least help me know we can fix it, but it was normal so i guess that is ok too.

We put an offer on a house and it was accepted by the buyers so now we have to wait for their bank to accept it since it is a short sale. After that goes through we have some work to do on it (it needs new carpet, new tile, new paint inside and out and some other stuff too).

Well thats it for now so I will keep you up to date as things move further ahead.

Crazy busy

So it has been a while since I have posted..... Well my life is crazy busy. I cannot keep up with whats going on so I fall behind. We are busy working and I am almost about to graduate! 1 month from today! Thats it! OMG I cannot believe I am almost done!!! Well when I have important news tomorrow I will get on and share!!!! Wish me luck (x2)!

Oliver Logan

OH BOY!!!! Josh and I went and got ourselves a new little puppy. His name is Oliver and we call him Ollie for short. He is a yorkie that we hope to one day breed with Lylah. He was 8 weeks when we got him and now he is 12 weeks. Let me tell you he is a little devil but he is oh so very cute!

WOW!!!

Ok so I know it has be along time since i got on here and posted. Life has been so crazy busy and my life has added so many new things.

Well i think we left off at the big surprise! Josh FINALLY got management. After years of waiting he is now the guest services manager at the Ruby Tuesday! Yay!! So after that we knew we had to move. Since Ruby Tuesday is in Belton we started looking for someplace in the Belton/Raymore area. After only 1 day of looking we found a roomy 2 bedroom apartment that came with a garage! It was perfect so we quickly signed our lease and moved.

Since I was working in North Kansas City the drive was awful (one hour each way). I quit and started looking for a new job. I quickly got a job at a daycare, which I love! My job is great and I have so much fun!

Well I think that is enough for this post but stayed tuned for more!
