my Etsy shop that just opened up!


Lets see.... Nathen's first birthday is on monday (can't believe it's been a year)  MY BIG SISTER WILL BE HERE FRIDAY!
I'm still working at Target, its a love/hate kinda thing. Brandon is trying to get more hours at work until he goes to school but I dont see that happening. He is all ready for school. I still have to get my classes set up. I changed my programs back to early childhood education. that should be fun.

hmmm. what else is in the news of casa de croshier?!


                     Nada.



(probably do a big ol blog post later when my mind is in one place)

Where have I been?

Well I know it has been like forever since I wrote but hey I'm here now. As I write this in the kitchen my husband is making lunch . YUP I got my husband back. He is no longer active duty and we are settling in to civilian life. I work at Target overnight from 3-8am 3x a week. Brandon works at a resturant 4-9pm 5x a week. So someone will still be home to watch Nathen during the day. So far this has worked out just fine. My only concern is that we have to pay rent for the first time on the 15th. And we arent going to have enough from what I am thinking off the top of my head. So I'm praying we actually get a paycheck from the MC because that would be a huge weight off. Nathen's birthday party is in 2 weeks and I have nothing planned yet. I need to make desserts, and decorations and built a cornhole game. BUSY BUSY! So I hope that my first paycheck I can start planning.

I have lost our most vital paper work during this move!! Our marriage lisence, My birth cert., Nathen's birth cert., and My shot records. IM SO LIVID. I have searched high and low for them and cant find it. So I have to apply for those before I can get health insurance. Not to mention I have to get a oil change in one of the cars, and get an inspection sticker because its like a year behind. Tomorrow DMO will be packing up our stuff our of our friends garage and getting ready to ship it here. I CANT WAIT TO HAVE MY BED BACK!! oh and to start decorating my room some more.

PCOS update: I haven't been actively taking metformin in the past 3 weeks, since I dont wanna run out and not have insurance to get any yet.. But we are actively BDing :) and I hope we hit it right on track this month, since I have been regular for the past 3 months now. Praying for a big P.

School: Well I took my placement test and I was at college level for english and bombed the math. So I will be starting in the fall of this year. MAN will my plate be full.

off to a good start

So after being back home for about 2 weeks we finally got the approval for our new home! I'm so excited and cant wait to move in. My parents, Nathen and I took a trip to Ikea today to pick up some furniture and take a look around to get some ideas for how we want to style the place. This is going to be hard because mom and I have 2 different taste in decor and now we have to find a way to merge our ideas into one.

Here are my current update thoughts in a nutshell:
I still havent hard back from any jobs I've applied to.
Brandon is getting out in less than 30 days.
 Nathen is really growing up and learning so many new things everyday.
His birthday party is going to start getting planned
we move into our new home May 15th
I'm still loosing weight.
I cant wait to sleep in a real bed!
I miss taking afternoon naps!!
Nathen really misses his daddy
I miss my husband.
hmmmmmm.....

That is all for now :)

Welcome to Massachusetts (again)

Well here we are. Moved up north. We are waiting for Brandon to be done with the Marine Corps next month. In the meantime looking for a place for all of us to stay. No luck yet. But we saw a house today that I really like. I'm trying to switch over all of our doctors to here, and make everything come together before I start looking for jobs which I'm not very hopeful about since I have been out of work for a little over 2 years. Nathen is adjusting well but I can tell he misses his daddy.

It's pretty chilly here and of course I forgot all of my uggs in NC. Uh lets see.... I got to have lunch at friendlys with my best friend this afternoon. It was nice having some down time just her and I. Tonight we all plan to go bowling. Hopefully Nathen will be ok while we are there. Last time we took him to a bowling alley he was a few weeks old and didn't like it very much. I have yet to figure out where we are going to keep him. I dont have the stroller but I do have my ergo. so maybe that will work?

PCOS update: I've been taking Metformin for 2 weeks now. aside from the crappy side effects, I have lost 7lbs this week. A small victory is a good victory. I'm waiting until we get settled into a new place before I start working out again.

Don't have much else to say..

                        so I will leave it at that. Later.

Start saying goodbye.

So Nathen and I will be moving back to Ma by the end of the week.  I want to take him to the beach one last time before we go. Since he hasn't been there since he was born. I want to say goodbye to my friends that I have made here. But it seems like there is not enough time. I have so much to do around the house, but I dont want to do it because the more I clean the less this house feels like its mine. Its starting to feel like it belongs to the next family. Nathen's room is all packed up, painted, and ready for the movers. Its just a blank room with a crib and some furinture, not the jungle and sports nursery I spent my entire pregnancy working on to make it perfect.

I will be blogging this journey as much as I can. Because frankly I want to remember this time. I want to remember the struggles we are facing entering in the civilian world. Even though my parent will be moving in with us to help out, it's still going to be hard on everyone. This is all Nathen has known. And yes he wont remember but every child has comfort zones. When we are out all day and Nathen isn't very happy, he knows when we get to the front door that he is home and he calms right down. He just knows.

This entire time living in NC we have done things on our own (mostly). Now we have to rely on family to help make it through until we get back on solid ground. Do I wish things were different? Of course. I wish we had a few more years in the Marine Corps. I wish we never had to struggle. I wish we never had to worry about when we were getting paid so we could have food in the house. But if I keep dwelling on what we don't have, I can never be grateful for what I do have.

So today my goal is to pack up my room, and spend this last week with my husband. He will be here until May. Finishing up work, and paperwork, getting the house inspected, and waiting for the movers to pack up our things. Each day until I move I will tackle a room at a time, So I dont forget anything. Which reminds me...BRING THE DIAPER SPRAYER!! haha I know I probably will forget but I will be my life saver.

On the topic of diapers, I have been handwashing diapers for about 2 weeks now. I really dont mind doing it. Even now that I have flats(grandma's diapers). Right now my covers are outside on the rack drying in the sun. and by the end of the day I just use the sink to wash all the dirties. Not a mess at all. I keep everything sanitized too. Its sad though because all of his cute diapers are packed away. They just take too long to dry. Ill be happy when we get all settled and I wont have to hand wash them anymore. But I gotta admit, I kind of enjoy the time spend doing the work.


I know my mind is all over the place this time. But what I'm most excited about when we get to our new house is time to learn how to sew. I've been wanted to for awhile now and my mom has my sewing machine. heck even a jo-ann's is not too far away! I want to go back to work at dunkin donuts. I really enjoyed working there. The customers, the co-workers, the actual work. It was fun for me. So I'm hoping they let me come back. We shall see.


Well I'm going to go watch some tv until Brandon comes home so I can run the the library and print out some coupons for free formula. TATA

well this is just crappy.

Today  my doctor diagnosed me with PCOS.. everytime I type this I have no idea what to say next. No this is not a death sentence, But for me this is like death row. I wan another baby, and I know with PCOS i will be filled with plenty of disappointments before we could ever have another baby. this does explain why I have no sex drive, so tired, trouble loosing weight. etc. So I guess this is the beginning of a very hard road. I will start taking all my medications and continue working out more, and im going to start working on a diet.

in other news Nathen and i will be moving back home in a little over a week. Im not ready at all. I'm not packed, the house isnt ready for the movers or inspectors in May. So this week i will be going through the house and getting things ready and clearing out stuff we dont use and get those things ready for a yard sale this weekend. so this will be a busy week.

Im not sure im ready to be without brandon for over a month, but i need to get things ready for life outside of the military. as much as i dont want to, as much as i want him to stay in, and as much as i want to be the one who cant make decisions i have to because brandon wont. he has never done anything responsible in this family. I wish he would just be the man of the house. and im not sure why he cant. ok now im babbling off.


well before i get myself into trouble i need to end this session for now

a little blah,blah,blah

So I woke up today at noon! YUP I said it. Where was Nathen during all this?! I'n his crib just waking up as well.  I have no clue how he slept so long but the day is already almost gone and we are just getting started. Today we made the decision to have Nathen and I move back home a month early to start getting the new house ready, get myself a job, and have our life outside of the Marine Corps ready for us. It's going to be really tough because I have no clue what I am doing. For once I cant predict our future. It's scary to think of everyday. This is a huge life change, and I'm hoping everything works out, but apart of me wants us to fail at this because I see a better future for us in the military and that is Brandons back-up plan. I know its not very supporting to think this way but I not a liar and this is my blog. So who cares.

Nathen will be 9 months next week. Man how the time has flown. He is still not where I would like him to be developmentally but everyday we are working on it. We have decided to TCC after we find out the test results from my ultrasound. So in the meantime, I'm working out everyday to reduce my symptoms, going to start taking all my medications and prenatals again, and work harder at getting myself back to how I was. I want this to work.

I have to go run some errands for a fellow wive who isn't in town today. I have been so busy that I have put it aside and I really gotta do this for her before it's too late. Other than that today will be spend making future plans, working out, playing with Nathen and nagging at my husband who wants to sleep all day. YEAH I know funny how I get to sleep when I want but I dont let Brandon do the same. But in all honesty I want to spend time with him, and I want him to spend time with Nathen while we have time too. I'm sure I have other things on my mind but right now I am drawing a blank....


So I guess I will end it at that. TATA

A BIG fuck you to DIRECTV!

I'm seriously going to take my baseball bat to my directv dish and shove it up their ass! They for some reason found out we got paid today, and charged our acounct over $500 to close out the account we had. We had discussed payment arrangements. I was sending the check out today!!! THEN I call to complain, and tell them to take the stupid dish out of my yard, and they refuse. So now when I move out if i dont pay someone to take it out AMCC will charge me!!!!! ugggggggghhhh never again am I getting cable. WHEN WILL MY LUCK TURN AROUND?! The only good side of this is I know have a $500 pole in my backyard perfect for batting practice. END VENT

Rain, Rain go away..

Ugh. today is a rainy lazy day. I have been forgetting my medicine the past few days, and I literally have no energy. Thank god Brandon is home this weekend. First weekend in 2 months. I got a new dermal peircing the other day on my ring finger. I really like it but wish it was bigger. I might switch it once it heals. My birthday is on tuesday, I really wish something would happen but I know my husband very much and I KNOW nothings going to happen. it kinda sucks when birthdays aren't special anymore. I make it special for everyone else, but nobody returns the favor. The happy birthdays on facebook dont count because facebook tells you when peoples birthdays are. Its not like you have to make a valid effort to remember anymore. I almost feel like i should take it off there to see if anyone remembers. but who am i kidding. anyways im too lazy for spell check today. SO SUCK IT IF YOUR GRAMMER POLICE! looks like a grey's marathon today.

Where in the world is Gabby?!

So I have been on hiatus here for a bit. I have been sick, traveling, busy and lazy. So here goes it...

I just came beck from Ohio a few days ago. Got to spend 2 days with my amazing grandma. Boy does she light up every time she sees Nathen! I'd never seen her happier than when she was making him laugh. I love my grandma. My second favorite person in the world (Nathen being my 1st) The day I came back I got my quarter sleeve finished. after almost 2 years of doing bits and pieces. I gotta tell you last week I sat for 5 hours, getting my sleeve worked on and got another tattoo. That was fine. But yesterday it took me 4 hours to finish one side. I couldn't take the pain. I think my arm was just really tired of being poked at. So in total, my quarter sleeve took 10 hours and $600 to finish and it looks amazing. I'm so happy with it. Oh, and in case your wondering, Neal V. from Holy Rollers Tattoo and body piercing did the work. Great guy. One of the most honest tattooers I have ever met.

Tomorrow morning starts the dreadful round of testing and doctors apts to find out what is wrong with me. In the morning I have to go to the hospital and get a PFT and pulmonary test to check how my asthma is doing since the last round of tests when I was first diagnosed. Next week I have to meet with a Nefrologist to see whats wrong with my kidneys. More blood work. More tests. Ugh Then I have to get an ultra sound done to see if I have cysts in my ovaries and to confirm PCOS. And lastly another meeting with my doctor to check my iron levels and potassium. Since my body is failing me at almost 20 years old, I'm already tired of people poking me and checking my blood pressure every week. It's really sad when the guys that draw your blood know you on a first name basis after 4 months.

Nathen is doing well. He was being a major pain today. But Hoping tomorrow will be better for him. I know I'm going to be exhausted tomorrow after my tests, then Brandon has to go back to work after I'm done, Put Nathen down for a nap, wait for someone to come by to pick up a diaper, Hopefully get Nathens pictures done by our photographer, then *hopefully nap some more* and go with some friends to get tattooed. Today was awful!! I spend 12 hours doing laundry, cleaned the house while Nathen was screaming his head off, caught up on my shows I missed all week, and worked out to end my night. So I'm hoping for a better day tomorrow.

OH! And last night the stupid cat decided to break ANOTHER senstsy candle!! She is becoming a expensive cat. Hopefully I can fix this one before I spend another $35 bucks on a new one.

Well I know I have more to write but I'm seriously wiped out and the bed is calling my name!! Goodnight all

I hate being sick!

So I haven't posted in awhile because I have come down with asthma induced bronchitis and it BLOWS! I almost collapsed yesterday because my airways were so tight. I'm on a whole cocktail of medicine and inhalers. Nathen is still a little sick. But my mom flew in yesterday to help out with Nathen and the house until I get better. Today I had to get blood work done. 14 viles!!! YUP that sucked. Its funny though. I go in alot to get my blood done. And I have the same guy do it. He was like, I haven't seen you in awhile. Its sad when lab techs miss you. But anyways. I thought I'd update a little before I go rest some more. My rips are bruised from so much coughing. Its hurts to move alot.

Movie night, getting scammed and other things my weekend has become.

I will start off with getting scammed! So I ordered Alva diapers through a co-op. I was reffered to this co-op from a dear friend who was best friends with the owner. We saw legitament tranactions go successfully so I was ready to make a order for 10 diapers that cost me almost $50. I placed the order and paid in Oct. After hearing that the total order for everyone was 500+ diapers, we all expected delays. We were hearing prints were out of stock so we had to wait for them to come back in, then we heard customs held the packages up. One thing after another Finally in Jan. we heard that they had arrived and was ready to be shipped to us. So people paid shipping costs and waited. and waited. Well people were getting antsy and curious so they did some digging. Come to find out Alva had never heard of the co-op owner and have no record of her ever placing a order! UTOHH BUSTED. well the owner went over the edge, was arrested by MPs and ecsorted off her base and was sent to a medical facility to seek help. So her husband finds all this out, and is now trying to do refunds. This is such a long story I dont even want to tell it all. But long story short. WE WERE ALL SCAMMED!! UGH

Anyways, Tonight I went over a friends for movie night and we watched 50/50. LOVE IT! Had pizza and dip and just hung out it was nice. Although I wish brandon and Nathen were there but Nathen has a cold and brandon had to watch him. Another thing happened today....I got an email from where I filed taxes and they said IRS accepted it BUT now they are experiencing some delays! WTF I want my money....


Well its 1 am and I want bed. GOODNIGHT!


Sorry this was so random, but I needed something to say and its late so im not going to edit this. WHO FUCKING CARES :)

Mollie Gross Tonight.

I took Nathen to the doctors this morning and confirmed that he has a cold :/ He's still pretty happy just has a cough and a little temp. So tonight I'm going out with some friends to the Mollie Gross show on base. I've been wanted to see her for awhile and I was glad to get tickets for free. I am in need of a good laugh and a night away from home. Hopefully Brandon gets home in time. Tonight I gotta rush the bedtime schedule get ready and head over to the show. If he isnt home by the time I need to leave a friend is just going to come over and watch over Nathen for a bit. Baby boy is down for a nap, So I'm going to do the same while I can.

SPRING CLEANING IN THE WINTER!

I haven't been posting because frankly I don't have much to say. Last night I took a look around the house, I was grossed out about how lazy I have been these past few weeks and decided it's time for a change! Spring clean this bitch. We are moving out in 3 months and it's time to get a move on and clear out junk and keep what's needed. So I started this morning with my bedroom. Opened the windows in the house, cleaned out my closet and dresser. DE-CLUTTERED! So I made sure I finished cleaning most of the upstairs before Nathen took his morning nap, and when the time came for that I started the jungle downstairs. Made Nathen a better play area so the stupid cat can stay away from his stuff, and quit tearing up one of his puzzle mats. I like the new set up. I'm taking a break right now while Nathen is playing. My feet are killing me and I haven't ate anything yet. After Nathen takes another nap I think I will find something to eat and tackle the closets downstairs while laundry is going. When Brandon gets home he's going to think he walked in the wrong house. He always does when I rearrange things. 

MIA.

Sorry I've been MIA today. It's one of those days we all dread. I'd like to tell you I was busy but I wasnt. Busy laughing a bitches on facebook? YES I was very busy. You know just because your a military wive doesn't give you the know it all reward. When you act entitled and bitchy expect to be called out. SIMPLE AS THAT. Being a cyber bully is funny to me, especially around here because you know for damn well that girls here can't back their shit up. MOVING ON!

So today was unproductive. Played with Nathen, napped, watched Youtube junk, and laughed at bitches on facebook. Lets just call it what it is, LAZY DAY! I deserve one for crying out loud. Brandon is on a 2 watch right now. Which means he gets no days off. He actually rushed home today just in time as I was lying Nathen down in his crib for bedtime. He got to go up and sneak in some kisses before bed. So as I write this I'm doing diaper laundry and contemplating what to do with the rest of my night..HMMMM I think I'm going to sign up for a pintrest. I wonder if its hard or not. We shall see

Another lonely night.

Husband is still at work. blaaah. But I had a great time at our get- together today. Alot of new faces which is always nice, and Nathen got to play with all the babies born in the same few weeks as him. He is so funny to watch with other people. He's such a flirt! He didn't nap until we got back home around 3, so I let him sleep until almost 6. He was so happy playing I don't think he wanted to go to bed tonight, which explains why he went to bed at 8:15. Maybe he will sleep in tomorrow. As for me I'm lounging around while baby clothes are washing. I tried to eat dinner but there was nothing I wanted, so I settled for PB&FLUFF sandwiches. I ate 1 and a half before I got sick. I don't know why but peanut butter makes me feel icky if I have to much. Tonight looks like a YouTube/Netflix kind of night in my PJs and curled up in bed. I just gotta get there first :)

So if there is anything you would like me to talk about please leave me a comment. I'm getting bored talking to myself, about myself all the time. Good night all!

Busy morning.

Good Morning! Today I have a Cloth diaper get-together with alot of mama's in the area that CD. I love getting together with these ladies and sharing stories, asking/answering questions, and just hanging out with all the kids. I made some yummy Oreo balls last night, and Im going to prep them on the dishes and get the cheese plate started. First I gotta take Brandon into work because Gunny wants to talk to his watch and then he's going to go cook for the general all day. So I'm glad I have a event to go to this afternoon to busy myself up with. I will be back later tonight to tell you all about how it went :)

Happy Sunday all!

SweetBottom's Boutique made my week!

I won a Grovia diaper package giveaway last week from SweetBottoms Baby Boutique  located in Raleigh, and Fayetteville. This store has become my favorite natural parenting online store. I can't wait to take the trip to see the actual store sometime in the near future. They offer a wide range of baby related items that are ecofriendly. SweetBottoms has FREE SHIPPING on ALL orders, and they even ship packages ecofriendly. I just love how they personalize every package in pretty wrapping and a hand written note. The ladies are always super friendly, and helpful. For this giveaway I won I had the option of picking 4 Grovia AIOs or a experience package, which included 2 covers and 4 organic cotton snap in inserts. We choose the experience package, and they are currently in the wash getting prepped!!

This made my week! After all the headache I went through this week, getting fluff always brightens me up. So in other news, I cleaned the house today. Nathen didnt want to take a nap this morning because daddy was home. So he took his afternoon nap but it wasn't very long. He getting ready for bed with daddy tonight which is a nice break for me. I just finished packing up giveaway items for our Cloth diaper get-together tomorrow. So I'm going to get off here and start making oreo balls, wash diapers, and watch season 1 of One Tree Hill with Brandon. Tomorrow is a busy day..Hopefully I will make some time to blog!

What to say?

I know  I promised to write 2 blogs a day, but on nights like these I don't know what to say. What should I talk about? Any ideas let me know! Tonight a friend came over whom I haven't seen in awhile. Then the solicitor lady came by AGAIN wanted me to buy her cleaner. She never take no, and I don't have money for an answer. Need to start putting my car back in the garage for sure! I MADE DINNER! Yup thats right, ME! I never make dinner, but my husband had been working all day, and I wanted him to give Nathen a bath tonight like he used too. So I offered to make dinner. Chicken Teriyaki, and it was yummy. Other than that same old, same old.

Time to go to bed, Sleepy medicine is kicking in :)

quick entry

I figured I would sneak in a entry before Nathen wake up from our super long nap. Today wasn't very eventful. Had to go back to the pharmacy and actually get his medicine. I don't know why I never learn to not go during lunch time. Nathen cant sit still, and he freaks out after awhile. But all the old people love him! He flirts back with the ladies. So I'm going to go wake up Nathen and wait for hubs to get home.. Tomorrow is his only day off so I think i'll be nice and let him sleep in ;)

Be back later on tonight!
P.S WHY WONT MY SHOWS COME ONLINE ALREADY!!!

late night post.

well its almost 1am and my husband finally came home about 2 hours ago, after being gone since 6 this morning. He gave me some good news though, Paper work for a chance to PCS to washington D.C. to work for as the generals aid. This is his only chance to reenlist!! Brandons EAS is in May and its fastly approaching and he has not made any set plans for getting out of the Marine Corps. With his MOS closed up, this is the only way he can stay in. So I'm crossing my fingers super tight for this. I'm finishing up some laundry, watching Desperate Housewives of Atlanta and going to bed. This chick is TIRED!!

Night.

When will this week be over?

I missed blogging this morning because Nathen woke up at 10. That's right 10 am. He slept from 7pm-10am. I think it was because he missed his long lap yesterday and was so tired. But yeah I typically blog around 10 since its naptime here but not today. We got ready and headed to the pharmacy (like ive been attempting for 3 days) So we got there and the line wasn't so bad like usual. So when It was my turn to come up, there was an issue with Nathen script. Like always its a hassle to get his medicines. So I had to wait longer(never actually went back to pick it up) While Nathen was in my arms an old lady came up to Nathen and asked "whats his name?" I said Nathen. She then replies with "OH Megan, what a beautiful name for a beautiful girl. That necklace you have is just gorgeous!" Funny because Nathen was wearing a blue plaid shirt. Did she not get the hint that he was wearing blue because maybe he was a boy?! But whatever. 

So I came home, We took a nap and woke up around 3. skyped with my parents while Nathen ate and played. Then I went ahead and did taxes with my mom on the phone. 

Exciting right?! Don't have much else to say besides we are waiting for Brandon to come home from the generals house. Who knows when that will be. But it looks like I will be putting Nathen to bed tonight. After that is finished I'm going to clean up the house a little and wash diapers and bottles. Then ME time :)

Hope everyone had a better day than me.

A relaxing end to a stressful day.

So after I woke Nathen up from his morning nap, I got motivated and ran some of those errands. Well I got lost looking for someones house and turns out she lived in like the middle of nowhere but whatever. anyhow, before I got lost I went to target with Nathen to pick out a 7 month toy. Now he still isnt sitting up on his own 100%, he not crawling or anything either, but he will take steps ODD! I swear this child thinks hes going to skip everything and go straight to walking, which I would think is harder, nope not for him. So I picked out a fisher price 2 n 1 walker. It starts off as a toy he can sit with and bang on, then when hes older its used as a walker, like a shopping cart push thingy idk. SOO after all that was done and got lost and found my way, I get a call from brandon..."Where are you? We need to go get 2 white polos because I'm cooking for the general tomorrow and sunday!" REALLY I just left target and was heading home. *mind you target is like 20 mins away from home*

ONE HIS 1 DAY OFF HE HAS TO DO THIS!! come-on. But anyways I was already frustrated, and I snapped at him saying I still need to get to the pharmacy, and we need to go get our taxes done today. So I told him before I head back to town to call Wal-mart, and the Exchange to see if they carried any, just incase if they didnt I wouldnt have to waste gas to come back to target or the mall. And of course just our luck, they didnt have any. So I turn around and run into target, carrying Nathen and feeding him while grabbing these shirts. I go to pay and a worker steps away from her register to talk to her friend. I was in a hurry, so I ran to the next register. Well I reached for my credit card in my rain jacket and it wasnt there.. I was freaking out because neither was my phone and I knew I put it there. So I rush out to the car baby in hand and its not there. I run to the customer service desk and ask if someone had picked them up..NOPE. I retraced my steps and asked a employee in mens if she saw it because i knew she was watching me. NOPE. So i retraced my steps again back to where I was and was about to walk out the door and go to the car and cry but as I was walking out I saw them on the register I was at where the rude employee stepped away!! I almost had a heart attack. My BP was so high I could tell because I was sweaty and shaky. Its funny what you dont notice when you have mommy brain.

So after I got home I got a package from A Gu Baby. I had won a memory foam changing pad from naturallythriftymom on YouTube. That made my day. Man I tell you I wish I could lay on that thing, its sooo soft. Nathen played with his new toy and loved it. So now everyones asleep and I'm just hanging out, listening to pandora and blogging. Hopefully tomorrow is a better day.

Nathen's new toy. Happy 7th months son.

Good morning.

So last night I planned on doing another blog, but I got lost in YouTube videos haha. But I plan on blogging twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. Last night after watching a awesome new show *Alcatraz* my husband and I got into a water fight! YES, a bit juvenile, but hey were still young. It all started with Brandon  taking the spray bottle to the cat who had been a MAJOR pain all day. I took it from him and sprayed him a little. So while I wasnt looking he grabbed the bucket and filled it with water, and chased me around the house. I ended up outside trying to escape him. He kept missing. So I stayed outside, to see if he was done but it was dark so I couldnt see much. SPLASH!! he had snuck around the house and dumped water on me from behind. That was it, I was so mad because it was sooo cold outside. He locked me out of the back, and I was banging on the door to let me in. As soon as he let me him he called truths and I sprayed him so much his face was soaked! Its all fun until I get mad I guess.

This morning I woke up before Nathen, which never happens btw. So I got things ready to get motivated for the day. Which is going to be hard since it's rainy and gloomy today. Nathen woke up shortly after, and I changed him, fed him, and took a minute for myself and took a nice long shower(which is rare to get a long shower lately). Came downstairs, had myself some breakfast while nathen played. Then I called my mom and told her to Skype with us this morning since Nathen is 7 months old today!! We skyped and now its naptime for little man.

Plans for the day: Run some errands, wait for the husband to get home, and relax!

So this is my first blog..

After being up all night playing with settings, and writing my son's courageous story( on the right) I think its time to start blogging. This morning Nathen woke me up around 8, so I got up and changed and fed him. He usually stays in pjs until after his late morning snack. Yesterday I spent the whole day stripping diapers (YES, we cloth diaper). So today I'm going to relax, since the only thing I really need to do is go to the pharmacy and pickup his medicine. Right now I'm cleaning my dermal piercing (pictured below). I got it on the 13th, and it's healing great! When I get my quarter sleeve finished and colored in I will add another dermal to the other rose I have. I was so scared to get it, but I had wanted one since I was 16. This year is all about facing my fears, so while I was at Holy Rollers Tattoo and body shop getting my $13 friday the 13th tattoo, I went for it. I had a friend come with me and while I was on the table I couldn't see it be done, but it felt like I got punched in the arm. My friend said it looked way worse. But anyways I'm going to go have breakfast and spend the day with my son. Hopefully my husband gets off earlier today but I doubt it.

Hope you all have a great day :)
