Crazy Morning




We were in a hurry this morning to get ready and out of the house-not too different from any other morning. If Alivia wakes up before I get in the shower it works out perfect because she can eat breakfast, watch curious george and wake up before we have to leave. However, if she wakes up after I get out of the shower then there's no time for any of this. This makes for a really bad day!! If she doesn't get this time to wake up then she doesn't want to get dressed, put on her shoes and coat and she sure isn't going to cooperate getting into the car. That was pretty much my morning today. She assumed the wet noodle position as I tried to put her coat on her limp body laying on the floor-not too easy to do. I can usually coax her into putting her coat on by telling her that she can go outside-she LOVES to go outside. So after the wrestling match I carried her to the car as she assumed the straight as a board position. Then as I put her in the carseat she assumed the arched back position. We were finally on our way. I met up with kelly to drop Alivia off and then sped through the drivethru at Hardee's. As I'm getting out of the car my cell phone rang and as I answered it I grabbed my food and rushed into work. When I got off the phone and gathered my thoughts, I noticed that there was something on the bottom of my cup. My cup holder isn't that big in my car so anytime I have a big cup the cup holder will stick to the bottom when I take the cup out. I hadn't noticed that I had carried the cup into work with the cupholder from my car still attached! So I had to take a pic to share. Yesterday Alivia was screaming as I was pulling out of the driveway and I side swipped the Escalade-there was no damage though-lucky for me!!!

18 Months old Today



My baby is growing up. Alivia is 18 months old today, I can't believe it. She is talking alot. She can say: Mom, Dad, Something that sounds like Bray (for brayden), eat, belly, up, no, yes, night-night, bye-bye, eye and of course no-no. She went straight from crawling to running. I love to watch her run down the hall with her curls bouncing!

More Random....

  • We had an appointment yesterday to have family pictures taken (9 of us total) Bryan and Amber were complaining that they didn't want to go because they were tired, hungover and broke. 10 minutes later Sears called and said they didn't have electricity and would have to reschedule us. I was pissed-it's very hard to get that many people together at the same time!! Amber and Bryan were very excited

  • I had a very nice evening. Rob, Alivia and I went to the bank, to get gas, supermarket of shoes, walmart and out to eat last night. We never do that and I told Rob it was really nice to have him there with us. I normally have to do all the running around by myself and it was nice to have the help and the company. We went to that new pepper stone steak house on jungermann. It was really good and Alivia behaved for most of the time we were there.

  • Conversation in walmart parking lot last night:

Me: Rob, look there's a used pregnancy test (in the parking lot)

Rob: Well, what does it say?

Me:I don't know I didn't look

Rob: Well, you HAVE to look (he then went back and kicked it to flip it over to see what it said. It was raining and he couldn't tell)

Some poor teenage girl probably had to break the news to her mother last night that she got knocked up by her jobless boyfriend who dropped out of school.

I'm not looking forward to those days!!!

As if that isn't enough, That's all I have for now!

Lots of babies..

I have two sister in laws that are pregnant. Kelly is due Feb 8 and Marsha is due in May. Another member of our family is pregnant and she's due March 8. Kelly went to the doctor today and they said that she was 50% afaced and dialated 2 centimeters. We might have a baby soon!! There's only one slight downside to her having her baby early. She has been watching Alivia because my babysitter had to have her kidney removed suddenly. She is coming back on Jan 29 but I don't know if Kelly will make it that long!! While I'm very excited to see the arrival of Giana Marie Fleites-I don't know what I'll do for a babysitter if she comes early!!
geeezzzzz.....

  • I cleaned out my fridge the other night. I found 5 containers of sour cream-FIVE!! Not one of them was expired. I have to blame my mother for this-I was at her house one day and noticed an excess amount of salad dressing in her fridge-so I counted them-SHE HAD 16 BOTTLES OF SALAD DRESSING! There are only three people living in her house. Sick.

  • I went to Jiffy Lube yesterday morning to get my oil changed. I sit down in the waiting room and look over to the table with the magazines and the selections were sports magazines, car magazines and some kind of national geographic or something. Are you kidding me?!?! Shouldn't men change their own oil at home?!?! Why were there no decent selections for women to read?!?! That bothered me.

  • I told my sister and her fiance what my new years resolution was and they laughed at me. My resolution is to get a tan. Bryan informed me "That's not a resolution" to which I replied "Of course it is, it's my resolution and I can make it anything I want!!" So I will be checking out tanning beds soon.
