Jacob Christopher!!!

Well, I guess I'm a Grandma... HAHA!!! How frickin funny is that?!?!? Jacob Christopher was born at 9:28 pm on December 29th. He weighs 7 pounds 1 ounce and is 19.5 inches long. Paul's stickin to being called "G-Man" instead of "Grandpa" lol...

We were at Beth's house painting (gorgeous house btw!) when she called and said she was going to the hospital. Paul got a little teary eyed, and was nervous and anxious about it. He hated seeing Jen in pain, of course. He still won't hold Jacob. He said he'll hold him in a couple of weeks... LOL... how funny... Nancy actually asked me if I wanted to hold him, of course... He's the cutest little thang!!! Jen called me Grandma once and Nancy didn't like that, but she'll just have to get over it!!!!

Jen went to the hospital around 5:30 yesterday afternoon. They broke her water about 10 minutes before 8. Before they broke her water she was dialated 5 cm, within half an hour she was at 7 cm, 10 minutes after they she was at 9 cms and was pushing. They didnt have time for the epidural, but she said it wasn't that bad. They were getting ready to do the epidural, but when she would sit up, his heart rate would drop, so they told her to just start pushing.

Nancy stayed in the room with her, she got what she wanted. But Eric didn't show up until about 2 minutes after the baby was born... What IDIOT works when his girl friend is giving birth?!?! I don't get that... Leave work, take the frickin night off... But atleast he showed up.

We (Paul, Fay, Jerry, Shay, and me) went to sit in the waiting room while he was in labor. Paul wanted a drink so Shay, Paul, and I went walking down the hall, we walked past her room and heard the baby crying... it was the weirdest thing, we just kinda stopped and looked at each other, and said "She had the baby already". I ran back to the waiting room, told Fay and Jerry, and then Eric walked him, I told him to run to the room at the end of the hall...

So about 20 minutes after that we all went at stood outside her room, and about 20 minutes after that they let us in. I will definitly post pictures later, I FORGOT MY CAMERA... But Shay was snappin pics, and of course Nancy was too...

I'm taking my camera today damnit!!! We'll prolly head to the hospital in a lil bit. I wanna stop at Meijers and get a card, maybe some flowers, I dunno... something for her. And of course Paul wants to stop at Starbucks.

Training

Okay, so training was pretty easy. I'm elated... I can't believe I have a frikkin job... it's weird. I also go my schedule, mostly nights, but a couple of early morning things. I have to be at a K-mart at like 6 a.m.... UGH... A couple of 7 a.ms.... but mostly 6-9 p.ms... Works for me... If I calculated the hours for the stores we'll be in I should make a little over $500 for a 10 day period... How freakin awesome is that?!!? Lol... I can't believe the training was so easy. I was so nervous about it. I blew right through it and was the first person to be done and leave... It rocked. Of course I'm nervous about my first day (Jan 4). They put me in a Macy's... I kinda thought my first store would be a small one. I'm doing like 3 Macy's, a Childrens Place, K-Mart, Marshalls, and a TJ Maxx. It'll be cool. I'm looking foward to it, just hope I don't screw up. I just have to get black solid pants, and black comfy tennis shoes. They gave me my shirt yesterday. It's maroon and says RGIS on the sleeve... Sweet!!!

Oh yea, Paul's not going to Seattle, they were mistaken when they told him, he's going to Portland... The poor guy, he was so thrilled to go to the home of Starbucks, and then they yank it away from him... Lol.... He's okay though, of course...

I can't believe tomorrow is Christmas Eve. It seems so weird. It's so warm outside that it doesn't even feel like Christmas time, but the traffic tells differently. It took me an hour to get from 27/Gratiot to Hall and Hayes yesterday... a drive that should have taken 20 minutes... traffic was horrific... I couldn't believe it... I hated it.

Jen won over $3000 at Bingo last night. I can't believe it, she's so thrilled, she said she's going to take Paul and I out to dinner tonight, so that's cool... So since she won all the money she's going to pay for a hotel room for Nancy AND a plane ticket back to FL... So I guess this means that Nancy is coming in... Bummer... Hope Jen has that baby before she gets here. It's nerve racking... Maybe she'll go into labor tomorrow night while we're all at Fay and Jerry's and then we'll all move the party to the labor and delivery floor of MCG... Lol.... Somehow I doubt they'll let us bring liquor!!! lol...

Jess got a Leave from the army. He's going to Elkhart. I'm trying to talk him into comming and seeing me for a day. Gloria has Monday and Tuesday off, so they can come up Monday Evening and leave Tuesday afternoon... Since we have to pick Nancy up Tuesday anyways. I would like to see my big brother. I know it's going to be a few years before I get to see him again... Love him to death, and pray he's safe over seas...

Not much else is going on, getting ready for Christmas... Wow...

I hope everyone has a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!! And a SAFE NEW YEAR!!!!!

Seattle and Vajayjay

Seattle and Vayjayjay.... how appropriate!! lol...

Today Paul's job asked him to go to Seattle in the middle of January. Around my bday :( He'll leave around the 15 and be gone for like 5-6 days. It makes me a little sad. It's the first time we're away from each other since we got married. And it's the first time that he's left and not me. And it's the first time that I'll be alone at night in our HUGE house... a little scary. All the other times that we've been apart I was in AR... so it's different this time... But I guess I'm a big girl, so I'll live.

Jen still hasn't had her baby... Soon though.

Anyways, I shaved my Vajayjay!!! I still can't believe it. I don't know why I did it, just decided to do it... It's a little itchy, and is only going to get itchier, but I'm thinking about keeping it shaved... we'll see. Paul's not used to it either. He'll get used to it though. But it is itchy... Lol...

Not much else is going on. I can't believe Christmas is in 4 days, it's freakin crazy. Jen's going to spend Christmas Eve night with us, so Christmas morning we can do a big breakfast and open gifts.

Jess got a leave... he's going to Elkhart. I'm trying to talk him into coming to see me for a little bit. He said Gloria has the 25th and the 26th off. So I told them to drive up Christmas evening and spend the night and they could leave the evening of the 26th. Hopefully they come and see us. It'll be the last time I see him for a few years...

Anyways, not much going on... Just wanted to check in!!!

Paul and I made love tonight, wonderful wonderful wonderful... Love that man!!!!

RGIS

I got a job!! Crazy huh?!?! lol... A couple of weeks ago I filled out an online application for RGIS (inventory) and they called me on Monday and asked me to come in for an interview Tuesday. THe interview was at 9, so I had to get up at 7... UGH... I was so tired. But I made it there. It was a group interview, but I got the job. I have training on Friday at 2. So unless I TOTALLLY bomb the training, I have a job... Weird huh?!?! We'll see how it goes. It means I'm going to have to get up WAYYYYY early. She said they usually start doing stores at 6 a.m. which means I'd have to get up at like 5 depending on what store and where it is. It's still weird. I've had alot of jobs, but this is my first "real" job. I would like to work nights, but I would never see Paul, I wouldn't be able to work for Rene' and I wouldn't be able to go to my Monday night meetings. So I'm working days... early early days... Ugh...

Anyways, I'm excited and nervous about the job. It seems pretty easy tho, so I can't imagine not doing well....

Jen still hasn't had the baby yet... But Nancy's not coming!!! WOOOO FRICKIN HOOO!!!! She doesn't have anywhere to stay!!! Sounds like she shoulda saved some money... But whatever...

Not much else is going on, I don't work for Rene' tonight because she's sick. Hopefully she feels better soon.

I won't start work (other then the training) until after Jan 1st. So that's cool!

Hmmm.. I can't believe Christmas is just a few days away, it's freakin crazy. I think I know Paul got me REBA and GOLDEN GIRLS on DVD, but I don't know what else he got me. I think he got me 3 things, so we'll see what he got me on Monday... It's crazy...

Not much else is going on, I'm cleaning out the fish tank right now, doing a 25% water change. And I have to clean out the fridge, something seriously stinks... LOL...

I love my hubby.

It's our first Christmas married and in our house :). And it's my first Christmas away from Momma :( It'll be good though!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Not much is going on.

Jen's gonna pop literally ANY day now. Her cervix is thinning, she's dialated like 1-2 cm, the babies head is dropping, and she's having "fake" contractions every 20-30 minutes. ANY DAY!!!

Jess is in Georgia I think for the services. He thinks he'll get to go see Gloria for Christmas, but he isn't sure.

Nancy is stressing Jen out... AGAIN... I don't know what the hell is wrong with this lady but she seriously needs to be locked in a mental institute for the rest of her life. The world would be a better place... Lol... She's flying up here on like the 26, and Paul has agreed to pick her up from the airport. That kinda ticked me off, because we talked and I THOUGHT had decided that we were done trying to do things for her. She's an adult and can take care of herself. So whatever, we're picking her up, but get this SHE HAS NO WHERE TO STAY. This chick has NO money, and is flying up here with no where to stay and no car to drive. It gets worse, Nancy AND Michelle are telling Jen that it's JENS responsibility to find Nancy a place to stay when she gets here. We've found a motel for her, it's like 25 bucks a nights, but she doesn't have any money. No one asked her to come, no one wants her to come, and she's coming with NO money. It makes no fucking sense to me. I know what's going to happen, or I'm atleast terrified that it's going to happen, Nancy is going to PUSH her way in Jen's apartment. Shes going to get here, start crying to Jen, and make Jen feel guilty about her not having anywhere to stay, and Jen will break down and let Nancy stay with her.... It fucking pisses me off... That women needs to save the world, and jump off a frikkin bridge.

Anyways, it's Christmas time, so on a happier note, I'm DONE with all my Christmas shopping. We sent my family (mom, granny, grandma and grandpa) Hickroy Farms. And sent my dad a Bass Pro Shop gift card. I think he'll enjoy it. I hope so. I bought the baby swing off of Renee for 25 bucks, I just worked, she didn't pay me, but gave me the swing. It's a nice swing, has a brand-spakin new motor in it. It's nice.

I can't believe Christmas is like 7 days away. Of course we're going to Fay and Jerry's for Christmas Eve. It'll be fun.

I'm a little freaked out though, this is the first Christmas I'm not with Momma... I'll be okay, but its weird.

Not sure if I've mentioned this, but Beth bought a house. The closing is Dec 27. We're going to help her paint. She's gonna move into the house when her lease is up on Jan 31. She's excited, but freaked out about the money - taxes, insurance, etc. She'll be okay. Mike's supposed to be home soon, any day now.

Anyways, today I'm just doing laundry, and cleaning the house.

We cleaned the basement. Swept and mopped. It was nasty dirty down there... UGH... Glad we got it done though. Well we're almost done. We'll finish it this weekend. We probably have 1/3 left.

Not much else is going on that I can think okay. So I'm gonna go eat some lunch, and clean the kitchen!!!

I love my husband!!!

Oh yea, Saturday was the first night Paul and I have ever gone to be without saying "I love you" or a good night kiss... I don't think I slept over an hour that night. It was bad. It was mostly a mistake. We'd had a little disagreement about his brothers and sisters (different story) and when we got home I went straight to bed. He stayed up for about 20-30 minutes. But when he came to bed he didn't kiss me or say "i love you". He said he wasn't feeling well, and he's sorry.

I love him!!!

Catch Up!!!

I know, I know... It's been a long time since my last entry. So this one is probably going to be long. I'm gonna try to elaborate on the "Highlights" from my last post, and talk about what's been going on since my last entry. Okay.... here I go...

HIGHLIGHTS -

Jesse Lee's Wedding : Wow! That's really all I can say... Glorias kids are definitly not right. We got there on Friday, October 27. After we picked up the tux Paul and I were hungry so we went to a little diner to get something to eat with Mom, Granny, and Jess. About 3/4 way through the meal Jess remembers that they were supposed to be going to Ryan's after the rehearasal for dinner... oh well...
So get ready to go the the rehearsal and Glorias son is driving and we're following him in our car. We're driving for like 45 minutes... UGH.... Going on all these different Highways and Freeways. Finally we get there... When we get ready to leave Gloria says "It would be easier and maybe quicker to go home the other way" So we go home the other way.... we are literally there in under 15 minutes... Told you these kids were messed up.
Anyways, at the rehearsal we're noticing that Ryan (The son, age 23) and Tristan (The daughter, age 16 or 17) are sitting on the same pew together. Tristan has her head in Ryan's lap and he's LOVINGLY caressing her hair... EWWW.... Paul and I look at eachother and say "NO wonder everyone in Elkhart is so damn ugly, it's incest". I know, we're mean.... But seriously, I've never seen so many ugly people in my life.
Anyways, I notice that the minister has a gun... Crazy!!! Jess jokes that we're in a REALLLY bad neighborhood... which after seeing it in the daylight I think we were... But the minister is like a volunteer cop or something like that... Very weird too.....
After the rehearsal we decided that we wanted to take Jess out for some beer at Applebee's... he is my brother and Paul was the best man and it's his last night of bachelorhood.... So Jess tells this to Gloria, and she gets a little upset. I tell Mom and Granny and they want to come... So I told them that they weren't asked to come. I wanted it to be something that Jess, Paul, and I do together... ALONE... Plus, we were going to sit there, talk, and drink beer for a few hours. 20 minutes in Granny would be bitching that she wanted to go back to the hotel room.. So I pissed her off when I told her that we didn't want her to come... Oh well.... So Gloria gets upset because the rehearsal dinner is off, and upset that we're taking him out for beer when she doesn't drink, Ryan doesn't drink, and Tristan obviously can't. Oh yea, forgot, GLORIA NEVER GOES ANYWHERE WITHOUT RYAN AND VICE VERSA!!!! So they go to Wal-Mart and a diner while we go to Applebees. Jess tells her that after they are done doing whatever the hell they are doing, that Gloria can join us. Well, Gloria did come, and without Ryan, but about 30 minutes before we left, and she just set there... all pissed off or something... she's a little odd... maybe because she didn't know us or something.
So the next day is the wedding. We go to breakfast. After breakfast we went to Jess's hotel room to get ready for the wedding. I noticed Jess has a huge scar on his back, later Mom told me he got it while he was overseas in Iraq.
So we get to the wedding, not that bad. Paul is the bestman. They give Granny a rose, makes her cry. Then at the end of the ceremony they say they have a rose for Grandpa (Black rose) and 2 roses for her parents that have passed away. Grandma and Mom started crying because they were sad that he wasn't there to see Jess get married... That kinda pissed me off... how can they cry over a bastard like him? How the hell can they want him to be there so see this? How the hell can they even be thinking of him??! I refused to console Mom and Granny. They had to console eachother... Just pissed me off.... Not that Jess did it, but the way that they reacted.
The reception was interesting. The turkey had set out in an 80 degree apartment for 2 days, so we didn't eat any... of course. Not to mention the fact that her gravy was cream of chicken soup which she poured over the turkey... Ugh... Really the only edible thing was the ham that Granny made, and of course the sea food salad...


People staying with us : PAIN IN THE ASS...I couldn't smoke, I had to listen to mom and granny NAG NAG NAG, I had to deal with her getting dirty fingerprints all over our NEW walls, It was hell... simple as that!!! It wasn't so bad when Jess was there... He kinda takes some of the heat off... but it was hell!! So glad its over!

Jen's Babyshower : Only a few people RSVP'ed... kinda pissed me off, but whatever. We decorated, and I made the food. The babyshower went good. Good food. The girls couldn't go like 45 minutes without smoking tho... Weird people came... I only knew a few people that were there. Jen got a shit load of stuff though... Everything went well...

Rushed Jen to the Emergency Room : On November, 18, the day before the babyshower, Jerry came over to help Paul put up the storm door. They were almost done, when Jen called and said that she wanted me to take her to the hospital because she didn't feel good. So of course, I rushed right out of the house, and took her to the hospital. They weren't sure what was wrong, dehydration, bad food, stomach flu, they were all mentioned. They hooked her up to fetal monitors, and an IV. We were there for about 5 hours. Paul came over when they finished with the storm door. Anyways, everything checked out, and they let her go home. She ended up spending the night with us. I didn't want her to go home, because Eric seemed to be acting like an ass, plus she just spent the day in the hospital. So it was nice having her at home with us. We played cards, and watched Da Vinci Code. She slept in the spare room. I dropped her off Sunday when I went to pick up the balloons for the shower. Worked out well.

I need to go eat something and start the laundry... BRB!!!

BONUS : Paul got his bonus on the 15th. I totally stocked the shelves. I spent about 800 bucks, but I don't think we ever have to go shopping again, except for bread and milk!! It was crazy. I had to go the Wal-Mart twice because my buggies were over flowing... It took me about an hour to get everything put away, and the shelves organized. Our foyer was packed full of bags, you couldn't walk.

Mike gone : Mike has been gone for a few weeks, and Beth was having a really rough time with it. We've been going over there every weekend to keep her company, but we can't this weekend because of all the snow and ice that we're supposed to get. Mike should be home within the next week or so for a little while.... Beth'll be so happy about that.

Thanksgiving : We were going to do Thanksgiving at our house, but with Mike being gone Beth wanted to do it at her house. So we did. I made the ham, mashed taters, and pumpkin pie. Food was awesome. Tim came. It was good seeing him. Haven't seen him in so long because of Shena. Belinda actually told us to THANK Shena for not coming so Time could come. Your kidding me right?!?! She's the reason he can't come to family get togethers.... Whatever... Thanksgiving was good, food was good, put the tree up... it's pretty!!!

New Job : I got a new job. It's pretty cool. To little boys. Nicholas is 3 and Benjamin is 15 months. It's every Wednesday night from 6:15 to 10. And then whenever she wants to go somewhere without the boys, dr.s appointments, etc. I worked all day Sunday. From 10:30 to 7:30. Made some Christmas shopping money. I'm going to buy her old baby swing from her for 25 bucks... All the new ones are over 60 bucks, we don't want to spend that much money on it... Now I can get a slightly used, still in great condition, new motor, swing for 25 bucks... works for me!!!

Cat : Never took him to the vet. Keep forgetting. The scratching has gotten a little better. He's not clawing himself or scratching his skin where he has scabs. Just a little scratching here and there now... I know I should still get him to the vet... we'll see....

Christmas Shopping : I think I'm all done, except for the baby swing. I'm sending my family Swiss Colony food again. Cheap and easy. Works for me. I'm all done with Paul... I thought I was all done last week, and then he told me he wanted work shirts. So I got him a work shirt too. 5 gifts under the tree for him... lol.... I think about him too much, everytime I'm out I see something I want to get him. I have to make myself stop. We said I could spend about 60 bucks on him... I think I spent around 100... so that's not so bad. I would say what I got him, but he sometimes reads my blog... Not sure when he does... don't want to take the chance. I got him on big gift ($60) of something that he really needs, but doesn't know he wants... it'll be a total surprise. Then I got him a few smaller gifts. Two 10 dollar gifts, One 6 dollar gift, and One 25 dollar gift. If it's the thought that counts, then he's made out BIG time this year from me... Lol... I think about him way too much when I'm shopping!!!

I knew this was going to be a long entry. I can't think of anything else to say though...

Oh yea, We turned in my Passat and got a new Audi A4. Then they told us they were extending the car deal until March. So we didnt' have to turn the Passat in. We still have his Passat that we'll keep until March. I wanted to make sure we kept a car for me incase Jen goes into labor when Eric's not home and she calls me to take her to the hospital.

Still haven't heard from Nathan. I sent him a "Remember Me" email and a text message... NOTHING.... Miss him...

I'm going to get the Christmas cards filled out for mailing. I'll mail them on December 13 probably. I enjoy doing it... it's fun....

Just doing laundry, and cleaning today. Gonna wrap one more gift for Jen...

Okay, I think thats it, I hope it is... It's taken me about an hour to write all this...

Love my husband bunches and bunches!!!!

Not much has changed...

Just been relaxing. I had my pap... I start the pill on Sunday.. YAY!!! Can't wait for that.

Hmm... really not much has happened... I know I have a boring life...

Got some pumpkins... I'm gonna carve them this weekend. Can't wait to do that.. I love carving the pumpkins... and of course making the home made pies... I know, I know... very susie home maker of me.. Lol..

We're still enjoying our house.. Of course, I dont think we'll ever stop enjoying it. I love having all the Halloween decorations up. Oh yea, I bought this HUGE spider (fake of course). When I unfolded it's legs and set it on the floor it stands about 2 feet tall. Anyways, at first the cat was scared of it, then he lunged at it and was wrestling with it. Paul and I were laughing so hard... It was hilarious.

I started my period today. And I'm not on the pill so it's hell. Lots of cramps, extremely tired, back ache, head ache.. Ugh... It's so much better when I'm ont he pill.. Atleast I start the pill Sunday...

Oh man, We went to Beth's Saturday and hung out for like 12 hours. Cierra went to homecoming, she was so gorgeous... can't believe she's 14. Lol.. I know Beth was shocked when she saw her. Growin up fast. We watched the Tigers game.. We totally kicked ass!! It was so sweet. Hopefully they'll take it all the way.

Mike is going to truck driving school, so Beth is going to be left alone alot while he's working. Of course she's not happy about that. I told her we'd keep her company.

Can't think of anything else that's going on... Just wanted to check in.

HEY HEY SNOW!!!

Whats up everyone?!!?

Today is the first day of the season that it's snowed... and man is it snowing!!! Of course it's not sticking, except to the garage roof, bushes, and a few trees... But it sure is gorgeous coming down!!! It's HUGE flakes... I love days like this. It's about 38 degrees outside and really windy, and of course snowing!!! And it's great to be inside a nice toasty warm house, curled up on the couch with a book, or baking an apple pie (which i'm not doing, but it's still a nice thought!!). Maybe I'll bake one tomorrow!!! I love sitting here and looking out the 3 huge picture windows and watching the huge snow flakes blowing in the wind, and lightly hitting the ground! Amazing! Absolutly Gorgeous!!!!!

Things a good here. Been busy holding the fort down... as usual!!! Man I have a great life. I have a freaking sexy, gorgeous husband, whom in the past week is willing to do alot to please me (read last post). It's great. It's made us closer, and opened the communication up alot.

We made out lists last weekend. My list was 2 pages long... of course. And Paul's list surprised me quite a bit. There were a few things on there that really shocked me, but nothing out of the ordinary, so it's all good.

Our toys came in the mail last night. They're lots of fun. Paul and I had fun with them last night. Can't wait for him to get home tonight...

Anyways, enough on that.

I can't believe it's October 12. Man that's crazy. I can't believe we've been living in our amazing house over a month. It seems like we've always been here, but we're still enjoying it tremondously. It's GREAT!!!

In about 2 weeks we'll be getting ready to go to Jesse Lee's wedding. I still can't believe he's getting married! It just blows my mind. No one ever thought he would be getting married... not in a million years. But sadly, a couple of weeks after his wedding, he's going back to Iraq. That is quite saddening. We're supposed to be celebrating his and Glorias new lives together, and he's going to be gone for the first 2 years of his marraige... Some marraige huh!?!? Not to mention that they've only met a couple times... very odd. But as long as he's happy with it... that's all that matters.

Then after the wedding my mom AND grandma are going to be here for a few days..... Shoot me now! I can barely handle one at a time for a few days, and now you're throwing both at me... UGH!!! But I still love them, and I'm excited to have them see our house, and spend some time with them. Paul's lucky, he'll be at work everyday!! They'll only be here a few days tho. Saturday night, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and they're leaving either Wednesday or Thursday morning. And Jesse Lee and Gloria are going to be here over night one night. So that'll be interesting. I'm also interested to see how Granny handles all the stairs in our house. I highly doubt that she'll go up to the third floor... But we'll see. And when she comes downstairs in the morning, she won't go back up until bed time. I just have to make sure I keep them off of my computer... There's alot of stuff on here I DON'T want them to see... Lol... if ya know what I mean!!!

I have my pap on Monday... UGH!!! But at the same time I'm looking foward to it because it means I get to go back on the pill... NO MORE CONDOMS!! YAY!!! But I am totally not looking foward to them shoving something inside of me, opening me up, and rooting around in there with a q-tip and something that looks like a bristly bottle opener!!! Lol... Nice visual huh!?!? Doesn't feel good either!!! The joys of being female! UGH!!

The snow is still coming down hard, but it's smaller snow flakes. Still gorgeous though!!! It's stuck to one side of all the trees, the roof of the garage is covered, and so are the bushes. But of course, nothing is sticking to the ground. It's starting to stop snowing, and sun is trying to come back out again.. What a weird day. It snowed earlier too, and then the sun came out, now its snowing, then the sum will come out again... I hope it's going to be like this all day... GORGEOUS GORGEOUS GORGEOUS!!!!

Oh yea, as of Saturday, October 7, 2006 I have been living in Michigan 5 years!!! WOW!!!

Don't think much else is going on... Just enjoying life in our amazing house with my amazing husband!!! Love you Paul!!!!

Sex...

Okay, so this is a touchy subject, and not everyone that reads my blog is going to want to read this entry... just a warning... IT'S ABOUT SEX WITH PAUL.

On Tuesday night I told Paul that I thought I wanted to have sex with some one else. And I really did think I wanted too. I was tired of the same 'ole same 'ole with him, not to mention the fact that we didn't make love but once every 2-3 weeks... Our sex life and regular life had become boring. I know that is to be somewhat expected when you've been living together for 5 years and don't constantly work on keeping things new (which we never did). We were detatched, extremely detatched. Not even in our sex lives but also in our communication. Well, that's all changed... it's amazing what being honest with your husband can accomplish Lol! So I sadly told him that I wanted to have sex with some one else, that I had talked to someone online (in the Detroit area) about having sex with him, or atleast meeting him and doing oral. I was hurting, and so was Paul. I hurt him alot by telling him that. I don't regret telling him though, as it seems to have made things better.

That night when I went to bed around 1:00 a.m. I started touching him, before I knew it he was touching me too. And we ended up making love. It was great, but I didn't have an orgasm, so that made me feel even worse, like maybe I really did need to have sex with some one else.

When I woke up that morning I was thinking "We just need to spice things up". I was no longer thinking about having sex with some one else. So I spent an hour or so online (adameve.com) and picked out some toys for us. When Paul got him I ran the idea of introducing toys into our sex life, he seemed interested in it... So we ordered a few things. I won't go into details though... Lol...

After we ordered the toys we went upstairs and made love. And I did have an orgasm. It was great.

Last night I went to bed at 2:00 a.m. and started touching Paul agian, and again we made love. Paul tried this new position (again no details lol), it was awesome... It didn't allow me to have an orgasm, but it was awesome none the less. I did have an orgasm before we were done though. But he didn't cum... it was late, he was tired, and by the time I came he was soft.

So, just from mentioning that our sex life isn't the greatest, we've made love 3 times in 48 hours... I believe that's a record for us. It's amazing, I feel close to him again, it's been a while since I've felt close to him.

So when he got home from work today I gave him a blow job and made him cum. He enjoyed it... of course!

I'm really excited about our toys. I hate having to wait for them... we should have paid the extra money for express delivery Lol... But they should be here by next weekend... I hope, cause I plan on spending a few hours in bed with my husband.

I also asked Paul to sit down and make a list of all the things that he wants me to do to him, he wants to do to me, he wants to see me do to myself, and he wants to do to himself. And I would make my list of things that I want him to do to me, I want to do to him, I want to see him to do himself, and what I want to do to myself. I know his list is going to be like 3 lines long... Hand job, Blow job, and sex.... Lol... I started my list today and it's already a page long... single spaced lol...

So wish me luck!!! I'm determind to have mind-blowing, earth shattering sex with my husband. We'll see how this list thing goes... and see how it goes with the toys... I can't wait!!!!

Catch Up Time!!

Okay, So I know it's been a while since my last entry. I apologize!!!

Lets see...

Jesse Lee's getting married, and being sent back to Iraq. The chic he is marrying is a little... odd I guess! She's much older then him (not that I can say anything about that Lol). The wedding is in Elkhart, IN, only 4 hours away from us. Paul is going to be the best man because Uncle Ralph can't come. The wedding was originally planned for June of 2007. But Jesse Lee has to leave for Iraq on November 19 and will be gone almost two years. So Gloria pushed the wedding up to October 28.... We all think that was totally Gloria's doing. She got really pissed when Jesse Lee told her that while he was over seas Granny is still his power of attorney.. LOL... He knows Granny will pay his bills... He's only met Gloria twice... Frankly, I think that if he doesn't trust her with his money then he shouldn't be marrying her... But Whatever! So Gloria has like 5 kids... All grown and ALL free loaders... The youngest is still in High School. This wedding should be interesting... Jesse Lee in a church!!! Give me a break... the whole thing will crumble around him... Not to mention seeing him in a tux AND getting his picture taken... WOW!!! That's alot for him to handle!!! I'm gonna love it!!!

After the wedding Momma and Granny are coming home with us for a few days. Then Jesse Lee and Gloria will drive up here to get them, spend the night, and then all drive back to AR. This shold be interesting... Having my mom AND granny in my house... And I can't smoke!!!! I'm going to die!!! Oh well, it's only a few days... I guess I'll deal! And Granny INSISTS on meeting Paul's parents... That's going to be a stressful meeting... Praying that Fay and Jerry don't mention Paul's age... But it shouldn't come up... Hopefully!!!

The Kitchen and Living room are painted... It's great having color in the house. The Living Room is "Gobi Desert". It's a light brown. And the Kitchen is "Mother Nature" it's a totally awesome green... It ROCKS!!!

Moving on...

I'm off the pill.... For now anyways. I had an appointment for a couple of weeks ago at PPH but they never scheduled my appointment and their doctor quit. If the dumb ass receptionist would have put me in the books... LIKE SHE SAID SHE DID!!... They would have called and canceled my appointment.. But instead I drove ALL the freakin way out there... I was sooo freaking pissed. So Now I have an appointment at the doctors office right up the road for October 16. So when I have my period again I'll go back on the pil... Oh well.... But we are planning to stop taking BC in April and start trying to get pregnant!!! I can't wait!!! In the mean time, practicing if TONS of fun!!!

I took Precious to the vet yesterday... He cried the whole way there and the whole way back... He got a good bill of health and has even lost half a pound!! Woo Hoo!!!

I'm still not working... UGH!! But I'm enjoying cleaning the house everyday. I have all the fall decorations set up.. It looks great... Theres spider webs everywhere! It's awesome...

I'm trying to think of what else has been going on... I know I'm forgetting stuff....

My dad's been calling alot... It's really weird. It's like Sally said, when I gave up the resentment and pretty much gave up on him, he started calling and talking to me... and trying to have a relationship... It's not much, considering he likes to talk about fishing, but atleast we're talking about something, so that's fine with me.

Jen's doing good... she sure is getting big... I'm so jealous... but everyone knows that! I'm going to throw her a shower the first Saturday in December... It'll be a blast having all her friends in my house... Lol

I miss Nathan... He said he had to retake a test that he flunked... I know he'll do great. And Jenn is going out of town so I'll have him to myself to chat with... Can't wait for that!!!

I woke Paul up at 1 a.m. last night and fucked his brains out... It was so freakin awesome!!! I definitly have to wake him up in the middle of the night more often...

Hope Jen isn't reading this... That would totally gross her out!!!

God I love that man!!! I'm so glad I married him, he just makes everything all better!!!

It ROCKS!!!

Man, I love being in our new house.

I know it's been a while since my last entry, but we've been really busy.

The day before (Aug 30) the closing Leon called and said that the closing costs were $11,000 and we only had $7,000. So we had to scramble around and borrow money from Paul's parents and my dad, oh, and Beth. Fortunatly we were able to pay them back the next day becuase Paul got paid. And then Leon pulled some strings so the closing costs were a little less the $4000. I don't know what he did, but I'm really thankful... That was a VERRRY stressful day. I was so afraid that we wouldn't be able to get the house... BUT WE DID!!! YAY!!!!

It took us two days to move out of the apartment. It was a pain in the ass. We broke the fish tank stand and the computer desk. Oh well.... We were there until midnight on the 31 and then had to come back on the 1st and finish everything up. It was crazy!!!

Then we spent the weekend trying to get everything put away, because on Monday my Dad came. I had alot of fun with him and am really glad that he came. Honestly, I really didn't think he would show up. But he did. We went to Port Huron to the Blue Water Bridge and then to Lexington to see Lake Huron on Tuesday. On Wednesday we went to Greenfield Village. It was really cool seeing all the historical stuff... very interesting. Wednesday night we all went to down town Detroit and had a blast. We ate at Nikis... the best freaking pizza in the world. Then we rode the people mover... it was kinda scary, I didn't like the turns... but also cool... We also walked along the rive. And then my dad left Thursday morning. Can't believe that was a week ago....

We've been in the house 2 weeks... it's so awesome. But it also feels like we've been here forever, I don't really think about the apartment all that much... seems like we were never there.

The cat seems more at home here then he did in the apartment, but getting him here was horrible. First of all he doesn't like car rides. So on the car ride here he cried the whole way. I felt horrible listening to him. And then when we got to the house and Paul was carrying the carrier in the whole thing was shaking... Poor Precious was freaking out. Then we took him down to the basement (still in the carrier) and he'd peed all over himself cause he was so scared. So we locked him in the basement all night and I gave him a bath the next day and let him loose in the house. He went nuts exploring everything. It was cool watching him check everything out. Also that night was the first time he'd ever seen stairs. It was so funny. He was like "What the hell is this, and how am I supposed to get up these damn things!" It was hilarious. but he's figured it out and thumps up and down them all the times. Plus he's not eating as much because his food is in the basement, and we all know how lazy he is!!!! So maybe he's lost some weight!!!

So let's see... what else....

Oh yea, Paul's turned into "Mr. Fix-It". It's hilarious but awesome. He's gotten really good with caulking and grout... Just doing minor things, the big things we'll have the association fix.

Our shower heads don't get hot water... it barely gets warm. But the bath tubs and sinks upstairs get scalding hot... so that's something the association will have to fix. Plus, our door bells don't work... those are just a couple things that need to be fixed, not that theres alot.

On Monday (Sept 18) I'm having our metting here at the house. I'm excited about it... getting to show off the house to them... It's cool.

This weekend we're going to paint the living room. The color is "Gobi Desert". If we have the money I want to do the kitchen too, even though at some point we want to tile the wall below the cabinets. We can still paint, and then tile over it at some point.

There's alot of stuff to do in a house, but I LOVE it!!! I still can't believe we're here... It's awesome!!!!

That's all that I can remember for now, I'm sure that I've left off alot of stuff... if I remember anything else I'll post again...

Oh yea, Paul wants me to look online and see how much blinds will be for the living room... God I love that man!!!!

6 Days!!!

I can't freakin believe this!!! 6 Freaking days till we move into our house!!!!! Hopefully... Alots been going on with the house. We had the orientation walk through on Tuesday... that went really good, just pointed about a ton of small things... little dings in the wall etc... nothing major...

Then we had to move the Appraisal up a day because Leon said that it was cutting it a little close. That if we kept the appointment for Friday then we might not be able to do the closing on Aug 31... and we weren't about to let that happen... Lol...

Paul just called and he dropped all the papers off at Leons office for Diane.. He had to drop of 2004 and 2005 tax returns, his last 2 pay stubbs, 12 month rental history for the apartment, and a lease of the apartment... he also dropped off his retirement plan for them too. Diane was impressed with how organized everything was and said that she "Would work her magic"... let's hope she does!!!

Anyways, I'm still not working... it sucks... i've been moping around the house for the past week and a half... UGH!!!! I hope I can go back to work soon. But hopefully not until after we move into the house.

My computer quit working last Friday because the power cord wasn't working... So the computer was working, but wasn't recieving power so when the battery died my computer didnt work... Paul called Dell and told them to send us a new power cord, but they wanted to come out and put in a new mother board, because they didn't think it was the power cord. So we had to wait till Wednesday for some dude with grimy long hair that kept coughing on my laptop to change the mother board, and then it STILL didn't work... so finally they sent me a freaking power cord, so it's working now. UGH!!!

Anyways, I can't wait until we move into our house!!!!!!!

We ordered blinds from selectblinds.com and they should be coming in the next couple of weeks. I also just odered paint samples from Behr.com I ordered Mother Nature - for the kitchen, Summer Field - for the foyer, stairs, and hall, and Gobi Desert - for the living room!!! We'll try the samples and see what we think... they look cool on the computer...

Anyways, not much else is going on, so I'm gonna go... just trying to relax now that I know the closing with be on the 31st... YAY!!!

I love Paul!!!

Oh yea, forgot to say that Jen's not moving into the house with us... Her and Eric got an apartment... I give it till Halloween... She'll be moved in with us and her and Eric will be broken up... UGH!!!! I hope that doesn't happen... but it probably willl... maybe I should just be more optomistic... but this is Jen we're talking about.... Oh well...!!!

Still can't wait to move into our new house... Just Paul and me!!!! YAY!!! Husband and Wife... alone at last and it's OUR time!!!

UGH and YAY!

It's been a while since my last entry. Not a whole lot has happened... This entry is just what is says "UGH and YAY!!"

Ugh - Yesterday was my last day at work for a while. Jessies dad got laid off so he's going to watch Aiden for a few weeks... Hopefully, he'll get tired of it and I'll be able to start back in a couple weeks. On the other hand, it gives me a few weeks to get everything packed and get the apartment cleaned from top to bottom... so this is kinda "UGH" and "OKAY"; not really a "YAY" but an "OKAY".

YAY - OMG I have VIP tickets to "Extreme Home Makeover" for tomorrow. I am taking Fay with me, and we're sooo excited about it. We're supposed to get free food and drinks, etc. I don't know if we'll get to see the house and meet some of the stars from the show... it's so exciting. I can't wait. I have to get up at like 9 in the morning tho... another UGH!! Lol... but I'll do it to get the "YAY" lol... Lombardo is the builder that is building the house on the show, and since he's the builder that is building our house we were offered VIP tickets... YAY!!

So I picked up the tickets today and Jen went with me. We go to see the house... it's really coming along. All the sinks, counters, toilets, and tubs are in. They have the hardwood floors in the kitchen and dining room in. And the floors in the foyer, laundry room, powder room, and grade door also. All the tile is in the bathrooms, it looks really nice. Everything is really dusty tho... Lol... of course. In less then three weeks we'll be moved in... YAY!!!!

Last weekend we went to church. It was my first adult experience in a Catholic church. It was very... interesting... yea, that word'll do... Lol... Paul didn't warn me at all... but like he said, he didn't know what I knew and didn't know, he thought all churches were the same... WELL THEY AREN'T!!! I didn't know about responding, and we did more standing and kneeling then sitting. There was also more singing then sermon... And the communion... whoa... I'm so glad Paul told me I couldn't go up there because when I say everyone else getting up I would have went too... Lol... that wouldn't have been good. And "Peace be with you" that threw me also... I'm glad Paul said it to me first because I didn't know what was going on and wouldn't have known what to say to people or what was going on... Ugh... I guess I'll get used to it. We were going to go to a diff church this weekend because we want to try a few before we decide which one we like the most. Oh another thing, I didn't know you werent supposed to talk... How horrible!!! We walked in and I started talking to Paul and he was ignoring me and then told me not to talk. In my church it was very social. You walked in a started talking to people... Needless to say, Catholic churches are VERY different from the southern Baptist church I grew up on... Lol...

Not much else is going on. I went to Petco and got some more cat food, put gas in the car, went to Blockbuster, and Kroger. From Blockbuster I got "Final Destination 3", "V is for Vendetta", and "Inside Man". They sounded good so we'll see...

Anyways, Paul should be home soon. Can't wait to see him... Love that man sooo much!!!

Packing, Packing, Packing...

I've been so busy packing. Our living room is full of boxes. I'm enjoying packing. It's giving me a chance to get rid of a bunch of old crap.

Only 28 days until the closing... Hehehe... I'm so excited. But I hate waiting... Lol...

Not much else is going on. We just chilled at home on the weekend. Didn't do much.

I woke up a lil depressed on Sunday and spent 2 hours in bed crying. Paul was very supportive and held me the whole time. So that was nice.

I went to Jen's dr.s appointment with her today. They did another ultrasound and a 3D ultrasound. It was so cool. I can't wait to be pregnant. The 3D ultrasound was cool, you can actually make out the babies facial features.

My hours at work are a lil different this week. I worked from 730 to 230 yesterday, and had today off. Then tomorrow I work from 730 to 1230. And I work all day Friday... Ugh...

Anyways, I'm gonna close for now... like I said, not much is going on, just been busy packing and very excited about moving!!!!

28 DAYS!!!

37 DAYS!!!!!!

Yesterday while I was shopping I got a call from Sue at Amherst and we scheduled the last walk throughs and the closing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The walk through is on August 22 at 9 a.m. and the final walk through is on August 29 at 9 a.m.

The closing is August 31 at 10 a.m....

I'm soooo freaking excited!!!!! We actually have a date set for the closing!!! YAY!!!!!!

I can't wait... It's so hard to believe... so freaking surreal.. Like I keep expecting to wake up from the dream... Or I keep expecting something to go wrong... like the house will burn down and they'll have to start over, or something will happen and the mortgage will fall through at the last minute... Lol... Of course I know that won't happen... But someone could burn the house down... if they do I'll hurt them tho!! lol...

I can't wait... I'm so freaking excited. I feel like a giddy kid who just got an A on her test and wants to scream it from the roof tops!! It's so amazing!!!!

Some good, Some not so good...

Well it's been a week since my last post so alots happened....

On Monday or Tuesday we went with Jen to look at the house becuase she wanted to see it. While we were there we saw that people had written on the walls, which isn't a big deal because they paint he walls anyways. But then in the kitchen around where the fridge is going to go somebody punched a hole in the wall... They said they'll fix it and they also said that they'll start locking up the doors when they're done at night and on the weekends.

So on Tuesday I worked, Aiden was in a pretty good mood. Same on Thursday.

On Wednesday I took Jen to her doctors appointment. She was nervous about it so I took the day off and went with her. She lied to the doctor about a couple things. She didn't tell the doctor about her abortion and didn't tell the doctor about her drug abuse. But I didn't think she would... All they did was a lot of paper work and then they took alot of blood. They said they couldn't do the ultrasound because her bladder wasn't full... So she has another appointment on Wednesday this week, maybe they'll do the ultrasound this week... I dunno tho...

On Friday we just sat at home and watched Xfiles... It was relaxing.

Yesterday we went to the zoo... It's not a very nice zoo... comparied to the Tulsa zoo. But then again, the Tulsa zoo is one of the top rated zoos in the country... Lol... Guess I've been spoiled on zoos. It was relaxing though. I took alot of pictures. I will say that scenery at the Detroit zoo is very nice.

We didn't go to Beth's because she went to Indiana to camp with Mike's family... I hope she enjoyed herself.

When we got home from the zoo yesterday i found out that SBC finally cancelled my email account... I was kinda pissed because I've lost all my contacts from messenger and my address book. I'm going to call SBC tomorrow and see if theres a way for me to get them. I wasn't happy about that... I was able to set up a Yahoo account but I'm still pissed because I don't know all my email addresses from my address book, or my contacts on Messenger... UGH!!!!

Today we went to the house... It's soooo awesome. They have the cabinets in, all the molding and trim is up, same with the doors.... It's just soooooo cool. While we were there the painting guys were there and doing the attic... It's so cool. Sorry I keep saying that but it is. I can't wait to see what they've done next week.

After we went to the house we went to Fay and Jerry's. Around 2:30 Mike showed up. It was good to see him. It took them about 10 hours to drive in from NY. It's a little odd around Elba tho because she's deaf. I feel like I'm leaving her out of the conversation.... And of course she cant talk to us either. Mike and Jessie are the only one's that know sign language. It's cool that he learned sign language just to be with her though. Jessie is good at it too, of course she learned sign language before she could talk. Jessie was in the pool the whole time practically...

Anyways, not much else is going on. Just doing some laundry, cleaned out the litter box, etc....

Pics of the house!!!!

Here's some pictures of the house. It's soo cool!!!

Jen's Guidelines...

Here's what we told Jen last week.

Jennifer,

We want you to be a responsible, mature, and independent woman. Living in our home is a privilege NOT a right.

T Eric’s name HAS to be on the birth certificate.
T Eric HAS to pay child support
T Eric can NOT spend the night under ANY circumstances, however he can visit and spend time with you and the baby. We just don’t want him spending the night.
T You HAVE to work up until you 8th month of pregnancy. If the job you have now does not give you a chance to work then you need to find a new job or take on a second job.
T You HAVE to go back to work 6 weeks after having the baby.
T You and Eric HAVE to take parenting and child birth classes.
T Your space in the new home will be the loft and bedroom. You are to keep that space respectably clean. This will be yours and the babies space. We will not invade your space unless you are there and give us permission to enter.
T You will respect the new home in its entirety.
T You will be responsible for yours and the babies expenses. This includes bathing supplies, furniture, some foods, etc. If we do not have the foods that you want then you can buy them yourself.
T If you decide to stay in the new home with us then at some point you will be expected to pay rent. Rent will kick in on June 1, 2007; unless you start cosmetology school. The amount of rent will be determined at that time.
If you go to cosmetology school you will be expected to move out upon your graduation of schooling. If you do not go to school then you will be expected to move out by the end of 2007 or when Mandy gets pregnant.

You will also be expected to clean up after yourself and the baby. This includes all bottles and diapers. There are to be no dirty bottles in the sink at any time. If you need to wash them by hand, then do so. If you need to put them in the dishwasher, then do so. If the dishwasher is full and clean then unload the dishwasher and put the bottles in there, or you can wash them by hand. If the dishwasher is full and dirty then run the dishwasher and wash the bottles by hand. This also means that any dishes you use will be expected to be cleaned by you. You are not to leave ANY dirty dishes in the sinks, your space (loft and bedroom), or anywhere else in the house. The dirty diapers are to be kept in a trash can or diaper pail in your space. They are not to be in the trash in the kitchen, or any bathroom. When your diaper pail or diaper trash can is full you will take it to the garage and put in it the garbage can there. You will do your own laundry on specified days. The days will be determined at a later date. This is to ensure that you and Mandy do not clash on laundry schedules.

All of these guidelines will help you learn to become more responsible, independent, and mature. If you do not abide by any or all of the guidelines you will be asked to look for another place to live. This is a trial period. If at any time I or Mandy feel uncomfortable or unsatisfied in our home then you will be asked to leave.

If you feel that you cannot follow any of these guidelines feel free to ask questions and perhaps we can come up with a compromise. If you move out, and then decide to move back in these guidelines will be enforced.

A Stressful Life...

The title says it all... Lol...

Paul and I had a meeting with Sally to talk to her about how we should handle Jen being pregnant and her living with us in the new house. The meeting was very productive. I'll post what Sally told us, and then what we told Jen. The talk went good. And Jen agreed with everything, for now anyways.

Jen's been pretty stressed out this weekend. Nancy is giving her alot of shit. Nancy calls her like 12 times a day to make sure Jen is eating right and taking her vitamins. It's driving Jen crazy. Nancy is also pushing Jen to marry Eric... which Jen obviously does NOT want to do.

Eric has started saying that maybe the baby isn't his because she met with Scott on Friday night and they went to Big Boy or something for ice cream. For crying out loud, Scott's gf and their baby was with them... So now Eric thinks the baby is Scotts. How freaking crazy is that?!?!?! Eric is totaly irresponsibly and stupid... you can't have a real conversation with him.. unless it's about cars or something... it's weird.

Anyways, on Friday I took Jen to the health department and got her straight medicaid. So now Jen doesn't have to pay anything. Cause she really can't afford it and we sure as hell aren't paying for it. She has her frist dr.'s appointment on Wednesday and asked me to go with her, so I took the day off and am going to the dr.'s appointment with her. Hopefully we'll find out the sex of the baby...

We went to the house and all the drywall is done... it's so cool to see walls. Before you could look into the other rooms from one room and you could even see upstairs from the first floor. Now you can't. It's soooooo freaking cool. I'll post pictures. We also have half the siding. It's really cool!!!

It's been really hot here. Like in the 90's. It's crazy. I hate it. The only thing I like about it is that I can get a tan and go swimming.

Anyways, I'm all stressed out... this whole baby thing is stressing me out because I know Eric isn't going to stick around, I know Nancy is most likely going to move to MI and try to take over Jens life and that will drive her crazy, and I don't think Jen will be able to handle the baby... it's sooo stressful... And I miss Nathan!! Thank goodness he comes back tomorrow!!!!

Paul is my rock though. I love him!!!!

We have Insulation!!

We went up to the house yesterday and saw that they have the insulation up. I forgot to take the camera with us so hopefully I can get pics before they dry wall... but if not oh well... It's so cool. The attic is much cooler too. The house even sounds different with the insulation up. We're so anxious to get moved in and start our lives together. Paul and I laid in bed for over an hour last night talking about the house before we fell asleep... it's just so exciting... And very new to me. I've always lived in run down crappy rental houses or trailers. Altho the trailer that I grew up in AR wasn't that bad. However, it was also the trailer the I was brought home from the hospital when I was born... so it's old... But not too bad I guess... It's exciting to have something new and it our own. I think Jen has decided to take the attic (with the baby of course) since she sees that its not that hot up there. I really hope she does, if she doesn't I'm going to make her. Because if she doesn't then we'll hear the baby cry all night and we don't want to that. So she either takes the attic or will have to move out. Those are her choices... unless it's too hot of course. I'm not going to make her the baby live up there if it's scorching. But somehow I doubt it will be.

Anyways, Thursday wasn't too bad at work. Aiden slept alot and didn't pee or puke on me... so all in all it was good... Lol...

On Friday I cleaned... as usual. I also had to bake two cakes. One for Cierra's 14th bday dinner and one for Mike's sister Ree... She is such a pain in the ass... so annoying and over bearing. But she can also be nice and loveable too... when shes not wasted... which isn't very often. Anyways she said that I owed her a cake from LAST July for her bday... Because I brought Kelly one last year and didn't bake one for Ree so everytime I've seen her it's been hell on earth cause she wants the cake. However, this is the second one I've baked her. The first one she never got. She did call and thank me for the cake when she got it this time so that was nice...

Anyways, We went to Beth's for Cierra's 14th bday party. It wasn't much. Just Beth, Mike, Cierra, Fay, Jerry, Shena, Paul and Me. We ordered pizza. However, we were like 40 mintues late because 696 was closed from 94 to Van Dyke... which on the news it said it was only closed from 94 to Groesbeck. So we took Groesbeck to 696 but wound up taking the service drive all the way to Van Dyke before we could get on 696. And then when we did get on it was one lane till almost 75... it was horrible... Lol... But we made it there... After we left Beth's we went to the house.

Today we went to Fay and Jerry's and had lunch. Fay and I lounged in the pool for about an house. Belinda was there for a while... she's freaking crazy... not to mention strung out on drugs... She didn't remember that SHE not Tim sent us a 50 dollar check for our wedding. She said the didn't have our addresss and was going to send us another check. Before we realized what she was talking about. Unfortunalty Paul told her that she already sent us something.. I wasn't going to say anything and get extra money out of her... If she's too freakin stoned off heroin to know she sent us money let her send us more... Lol...

We went to Home Depot today and agreed on shades for the house. They're really cool... They're like shades and blinds in one. You can open the blinds part but leave the shade down... The blinds (cloth btw) are in between the shades... it's really cool... and we like them so that's even better. Paul wanted blinds, I wanted shades, and we found the perfect compormise!!!

Anyways, not much else is going on. I've been cleaning tonight. I figured I better clean out the fish tank cause when its so green you can't see the fish... that can't be good. Lol... I did the dishes, cleaned out the litter box... It was HORRIBLE.. with the dry cat food he's been drinking more water, therefore going pee more often... it was like a litter box full of amonia... Ugh.. I couldn't breathe. I also did laundry...

I'm gonna go...

We can't wait to move into our house... I HATE WAITING!!!!!

Exhausted...

Let's see... it's been about a week since my last entry so let me catch up on everything.

We had the walk through. It wasn't that exciting. We decided not to have the egress window put in the basement. To save money and we don't want to mess with the foundation. The guy we met with suggested that we shouldn't mess with the foundation, so we won't. Lol...

I didn't have my pap because I was on my period. So she did the breast check and gave me a three month bypass. So I get pills for 3 months but have to have my pap before I run out.

Jen's getting a litlle bigger. And she got the insurance. However, to get the insurance she had to use Eric's dads income (because paul makes to much). And she can't put Eric on the birth certificate, so Eric is pissed about that. Eric says that if he can't be on the birth certificate then he doesn't want to be in the room while she gives labor. He also suggested they get married but she turned him down. So Eric told her not to come over today, so she said okay. So I guess they're fighting. I dunno....

Today was the first day back to work after a long weekend. I am so tired. And Aiden wasn't thrilled to see me at all... He got to spend 5 days with his mom and dad and then I'm back. That kid is smart, he knows that when I walk in Jessie's leaving, and he doesn't like that at all... Mostly because Jessie carries him ALL THE TIME... it's crazy... but oh well... I was peed on, spit up on twice, screamed at, cried at... it was hell on earth... Lol...

Nathan is in WA getting married and I miss talking to him. He's such a good friend and I feel like I can talk to him about anything... I can't wait for him to get back. I'm happy for him though, and I hope is wedding and honeymoon is everything him and Jenn wants. He's been able to get online a couple times, but not much... I like the short times that he's on... it's nice talking to him... and a change from my day...

We didn't do much over the long weekend... it was very relaxing. On Saturday we went to Fay and Jerry's and hung out in the pool. Beth and Bobby were there too. Then we went to Beth's house that night and hung out. On Sunday we went to Beth's again and layed around. We watched "Freedomland" it was an okay movie.... nothing special. On Monday.... hmm what'd we do?!?! Just sat around. We went up to the house and signed the papers saying we wanted to take the egress window off the house. Jen's been home early every night and we've been playing 31 with her. She likes and Paul and I like spending the time with her....

Not much else is going on... Just tired and not looking foward to tomorrow!! Lol... it's my long day... 730-630 UGH!!!

I love Paul!!!

Oh yea, we made love Sunday night and Monday. It was awesome!!! Man I love him so much. I can't imagine what I would do without him... I would go crazy... well maybe not but it wouldn't be easy. He makes me soo happy. When I hear his voice on the phone or see him walk in the door from work I just smile and smile... it's so good to see him after a day at work... or when he gets home from work.... Love him to death!!!

Jen's Pregnant...

Jen came home early today and said "Guess what I found out today? I'm pregnant." Somehow I don't believe that she just found out today. She's three months along... it doesn't make sense that she just found out today... but oh well... She had her ultra sound today, it's too early to tell the sex of the baby tho. They said she's due on Jan 5 or something like that. She's really excited about it, and we're excited for her. She's totally paying for everything herself... with Eric's help of course. Good thing we're getting a big house.

Anyways, enough on that...

I've decided that I want to be a 3rd grade teacher. At the wedding my dad told Momma that he would pay for my college, so that's cool. I'm going to look into it and see if I can get into OU with a GED, and if I can then I'll get my GED and hopefully start in the January semester. I want to start out taking one class for a while and then increase it from there. I know it'll take a while, but I still want to work and have kids, so that's cool....

Not much else is going on.... Beth turned 40 on Monday...

I have to go tomorrow for my annual pap smear... UGH!!! I am totally not looking foward to it.

We also have our first walk through tomorrow... YAY!!! I am totally looking foward to that!!!! It's so exciting... I met with the cable guy yesterday right after they layed the basement... it was really cool just to be there and see all the progress they've done... They have the roof on and the electrical in... it's sooooo coooooolllll!!!!

I got back in touch with Bethany the other day. I found her on MySpace... It's so cool to talk to her again after so long. She has a steady bf , Chad, and says that she's in love. She'll start her senior yr of college in August and is majoring in Mechanical Engineering... I knew she'd do something like that... It think it's in the her families blood or something... Lol.... Anyways, it was really good to talk to her.

Stephanie had her 16th bday party over the weekend... Of course we weren't invited, Melonies too afraid we'll bring up all the money she owes us in front of Scott... LOL!! Anyways, they got her an Audi TT. Can you believe that... Actually I'm surprised it's not a BMW or Mercedes...

Not much else going on, just working as usual...

Weekend...

Okay, so I don't exactly remember what I did on Friday... Hmmm... Lemme think... nope still don't remember... We probably sat at home and watched movies... Don't remember what movies tho... Lol...

Saturday was a fun day. We went to Beth's for Father's Day and Graduation. Jen had to work tho, so she couldn't come. We had alot of fun tho. Just sat around and talked. I brought the laptop and home books so everyone could see pictures and Fay could read the books. And Tim came. That was nice, we haven't seen him since Thanksgiving because of Shena.

After Fay, Jerry, Tim, and Cierra left Beth, Mike, Paul, and me went down to Bell Isle. It was so fun. We just sat there by the lake and talked for a while... laughed alot!! They are so much fun, and always make me laugh. Then we kinda cruised around Bell Isle for a while and then people watched. We saw one guy that has the Palace in the bed of his truck. It was totally awesome. Bet that cost him a ton.

Anyways, We asked Tim if he would/could do the cable and phone lines in our house. He said he would. We have to call him Friday so he can go see the house and see what all needs to be done. Paul also has to call Amherst and make sure that we can have Tim do it since he's not associated with the superintendent. Hopefully its not a problem, because if he does it it's only 100 bucks, if we have the other guy do it its around 350.

Paul also had to sign the mortgage papers today at Leon's. How exciting!!!

Amherst also got our commitment letter.

I got my new phone today. Tomorrow after work I'm going to go get it programmed so I can use it. I love it.. .its sooo light. Lol... I get excited over the littlest things...

Aiden was a freaking bear today. All he did was cry allllll day. It was crazy. I am so tired and worn out it's not even funny. I think he's cutting a tooth... Hopefully it's in by tomorrow because I really don't want to have to deal with that again...

I ordered for Jen's graduation photos. Hopefully they come soon.

Fay's birthday is tomorrow.

I have to go to the dr. next week for my yearly pap... Ugh... Not looking foward to that... Not looking foward to that at all. I hate those damn paps... they're so uncomfy. But I have to in order to get more pills... I'm almost out.

Not much else is going on... that I can think of anyways, I'm a little scatter brained today.

Oh yea, we made love on Sunday... It was great...

I love Paul!!!

Hey.

We went to the house on Tuesday and changed our tile. I thought the original we picked out would look to busy for such a large are - the foyer, laundry room, powder room, and grade door. So we picked a different one. While we were there they said that it'll be a couple more weeks before we have our first walk through. And that August 24 is the date they are "shooting for", not a definite date... That made me a lilttle upset, but that's okay, I'll live.

I've been working, of course. Today I went to Wal-Mart and Kroger and did our monthly shopping. We still have to order Jen's graduation photos, and we HAVE to get my dress cleaned and preserved this week. We're not looking foward to that, everything costs money, lots and lots of money... it sucks...

Not much else is going on. Just trying to relax and breath! lol...

I think I might go to the pool tonight while Paul goes for his walk. I would like to do some swimming, I haven't gone yet this year.

I got my new ATM card with my new name on it about a week ago. It looks so cool... Lol... I know I'm weird.

We're watching AMC right now. Greg is burried alive and someone is talking to him with a weird voice. Jeff is back in PV to tell Josh the truth. Jonathon is back to normal, but made Erin promise she won't tell Lily.

I love Paul!!!

Nancy's Gone!!!

Well this weekend wasn't so bad... considering Nancy was here... Lol

Nancy got here on Sunday. And things went pretty good. Last night when we went out to eat after Jens Graduation... Nancy thought it was soo hilarious that the waitress called Paul my dad (which it is funny and isn't the first time its happened). But after we were leaving she went up to waitress actually told her it was funny and that she agreed. Then Jen told us that Nancy thinks Genette's miscarraige was Paul's baby. First of all she had the miscarriage in like '81 so it couldn't have been Pauls.. second of all... why the hell does it matter... so what if they did have a kid together... so what if they did have a miscarraige!?!? Then Jen said Nancy asked if I was pregnant because when we were at the house I was asking about the elementary school... Of course I was asking about the school... We plan on having kids... Nancy told Jen that we shouldn't have kids and that Paul was to old... WTF?!?!? I don't see how us having kids is ANY of her fucking business... She's just fucking crazy... literally... and I'm not just saying that because she's Pauls ex... this crazy lady just lost her job (the 12th job in like 4 years... so she cant keep a job), got evicted from her apartment, and still sent Jen 400 bucks... how freakin crazy is that?!?! Then she was convicted to the mental ward in the hospital under suicide watch because she wouldn't leave her apartment when she got evicted and said she was going to kill herself when they called the cops on her crazy ass.... No wonder Paul grabbed Jen and ran for the hills 15 years ago!!! She's a fucking nut job... It just pisses me off that she thinks she knows everything and what she doesnt know she makes up... and then asks the dumbest questions..... Jen was pretty pissed off at her to for asking stuff like that and not minding her own damn business... Jen yelled at her... Go Jen!! So glad she is gone from my house!!!

Anyways, on a lighter note... Jen graduated last night. It was a good ceremony. The kids with the speeches did good... they were funny...

I told my dad we bought a house. He said that he's going to come up in Sept. and help us build a deck... we'll see if he shows or not... Lol...

We signed the final PA on Monday. All the carpet and counters and flooring is finalized... I can't wait!! It's so exciting...

Paul keeps saying that we need to get a home inspection (another 500 bucks we dont have) However Leon told him that it wasn't really necessary because the house is brand new. I'm trying to talk him out of it. First of all the house will be brand-spankin new... secondly the house is under warranty. So if something does go wrong they'll fix it... Thirdly, Leon said it wasn't necessary.

Anyways, not much else is going on, just been working and trying to avoid Nancy!!! So glad that's over...

I'm trying to get a second job. Part time of course and btwn the hours I work with Aiden. The lady (Kimberly i believe is her name) said she would call me back next week and tell me what days she needs me. If it doesn't interfere with Jessie and Todd then I'm jumping... If it does... then total bummer...

Anyways, I'm gonna go. We're watching AMC and right now it looks like theres about 10 people that are guilty of burrying Dr. Madden alive!!! It's getting good!!!

Our house...

Here is a picture of our house as of May 28, 2006. I can't wait until its done. On Saturday we go to pick out the color of our carpet, counters, etc... I'm looking foward to that.

Oh yea, WE HAVE A HOUSE!

Jen's Prom...

Jen's going to prom tonight. I hope she has fun and doesn't get too drunk. Here's some pics of her in her dress... she looks gorgeous.

I've been working all week. I also need to make a couple phone calls to see if I can get some extra babysitting.

Nancy is getting out of the hospital tomorrow, so she should be able to come to Jen's graduation. She'll be staying with us because she can't afford to stay in a hotel. I'm not looking foward to that, but it shouldn't be too bad because Jen's going to be with her every second that Nancy is home.

Not much else is going on. I'm just watching "Will and Grace" and doing my nails.

WE HAVE A HOUSE!!!!

WE HAVE A HOUSE!!! WE HAVE A HOUSE!!! WE HAVE A HOUSE!!! WE HAVE A HOUSE!!! WE HAVE A HOUSE!!! WE HAVE A HOUSE!!! WE HAVE A HOUSE!!! WE HAVE A HOUSE!!! WE HAVE A HOUSE!!! WE HAVE A HOUSE!!!

I still can't believe we have a house. We have so many ideas on how to arrange it and decorate it... it's so surreal... unbelievable... Weird... lol... I love it!!!

Jen's last day of school was Friday... Yesterday Paul and I talked about what her summer rules are going to be. She has to be home 3 nights a week. Her curfew on weeknights will be midnight and on weekends one a.m. I'm not thrilled about the idea of her coming in after I go to bed, but atleast it's still early enough where I can get up and check the doors after she does come in.

Anyways, Yesterday we went to JC Penny's. I got a nice outfit to wear to Jen's graduation next week. It's beigy colored capris and a cute purple blouse. It looks good. I also got a pair of shorts... Finally! lol... But the seam is coming out on the side so we're going to return them and get a diff pair.

We also went to Art Van and looked at furniture for our new house. We can't agree on anything... Lol... such different tastes. It's funny kinda... I hope its not like that next week when we're picking out carpet colors and everything. Lol...

We went to Fay and Jerry's for the Memorial Day BBQ. It was fun. We pretty much just sat around and talked. Beth and Mike we're there. We're trying to get ahold of Beth right now to see if they're having their BBQ today and what time.

Jessie and Todd locked their keys in their house... I'm the only one with a spare key. So they had to come over and get it... It was quite funny tho. Lol...

Anyways,

WE HAVE A HOUSE!!! WE HAVE A HOUSE!!! WE HAVE A HOUSE!!! WE HAVE A HOUSE!!!AVE A HOUSE!!!

We almost have a house!!!

I've been singing "We almost have a house" almost all night... hehe

We sign the papers tomorrow... I'm so freaking excited!!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!

Anyways, Tomorrow is Jen's last day of school... crazy huh... I can't believe she's graduating in a couple weeks... it seems like just yesterday she was stealing smokes from the PDQ in AR with Ashley and Allison... Lol... Weird...

The Pistons are totally kicking ass right now. We're playing Miami again... right now its like 70-55... DEEETROOIIITTT BASKEEEETBALLLLL!!!! Kick some ass Rip.... Show the Heat how we do it!!!

Sorry, I'm a little crazy right now... just realllllly excited about the house.....!!!!!!!
