I didn't keep up with my November posting. Let's be fair though... November is NOT a good month for me. I had soooo much school work due this month it was CAH-RAZ-EE! It was all big stuff too. Also, we've been having some other issues that will go unmentioned for now. Maybe one day... I'll be able to blog for the whole month of Nov and win a prize, just not this time. :-(

Last night, our play date went fine.

We were suppose to do some "homeschool" stuff which was mostly games but AJ wasn't excited about it in the least bit. He just wanted to play with the trains NOT color, or sort, or even watch the movie Up. He did of course want the ice cream that we went out and bought, lol.

My boy is just a boy through and through. Give him blocks, trains, cars, and lots of mommy love and he'll be as happy as can be!

I do have to say that I'm so very happy that he is also sensitive and not overly rough. I look at momma's who have those types of boys and I truely feel sorry for them because I definitely don't know how you can control that type of child!

AJ and I are gonna eat dinner soon, and then we are heading over to Laura's house to play with her sons. Hopefully I can get her to take some pictures that I put in here.

I had an ultrasound today! I'm so very happy to see my baby happily flipping around down there. I was so excited this morning that I actually woke up like 4 times before my alarm went off lol. So, my due date is not June 3rd, 2010, and here is a picture of my little one:

Grandma asked if AJ could spend the night tonight. YES YES YES!

So this lady is heading over to Heather's house to work work work on school work. Hopefully, I'll get a bunch of it done!

Darn... I lost my whole post and now I have to write it again...


Anyway, as I said before, I was talking to my friend Laura today and we both have decided that we are going to start homeschooling. So, yes, AJ will start homeschooling by the end of the week.

It's not going to be all the structure and hard work that you are probably thinking. We'll take a few small tasks and focus on them for a week or two and then we'll move on. I found a website that I'm going to use as a guideline, and then Laura and I are going to get together once or twice a week and have our kids practice and play together.

It'll be fun, and I'll feel like I'm actually doing something with AJ. I read blogs from other people and see other friends' children who are all around AJ's age and they are either talking or doing complex activities... and I feel that maybe I have put AJ off to the side a little too much in the name of doing my own school work.

What I am going to start doing is structuring AJ's day with a daily routine. I don't have control over how Aaron takes care of AJ during the day but I'll work on the weekend and evening routine and hopefully AJ will eventually fall into a routine in the morning as well.

Oh, here is the website in case you are interested. Its free and goes from 3 months until late elementary school years. http://www.letteroftheweek.com/index.html

So, I'm having a bad day. Aaron and I aren't seeing eye to eye at the moment... and that means that it's just another thing to work on, on top of all of the school work and worrying that I'm already doing. So, I would just like to say this:

To my dear dear dear husband:

I'm sick of your attitude... and I'm on strike from you at the moment!


There it is blog world... my tantrum toward my husband made public.

Fruit Pizza

I'm posting early because I have a potluck dinner to go to tonight.. but I wanted to show you what I have been working on today!

Saturday, November 7, 2009

Nope, no pictures yet. Unfortunately, Heather's cord does not fit my camera.. she has another one that I'll try but I'm not so sure that one will fit either. *sigh* I'm so very disappointed!

So lets see, what to talk about today...

Tomorrow, my mom and I plan on going to a potluck dinner, and I'm pretty much decided on making a fuit pizza. It looks so yummy in the pictures that I just have to try it... hopefully, mine looks just as yummy. Go google image fruit pizza.. you won't be disappointed I promise!

AJ went to bed nice and early tonight.. so I'm gonna look at what is due for my classes and maybe I'll start working on it.. although, a bath is sounding quite nice right now....

Day 6 of 30

Today is day 6 of 30 out of my November blog posts. So far so good, although I find it hard to really write anything worth while.

Heather allowed me to borrow her camera cord, so once I see if it fits and of course if it does fit, I'll post some October pictures.

So, I have noticed that my morning sickness has sort of tapered off. I still feel queasy every once and awhile, and I still find that I'm not hungry at night, but for the most part my morning sickness is staying at bay. I hope that means I'm having a girl lol. If you know me, then you know that I really really hope it is a girl this time. If it's a boy, I won't be upset. BUT... I would love to buy dresses and bows and pink and dolls... I want a PRINCESS!

Ok, I waited too late tonight to post, and I'm yawning up a storm... so I'm gonna cut this boring boring post short. Nighty nighty night..

Thursday, November 5, 2009

I had a good day today. I woke up wide awake, which is very unusual considering how I normally am. The school I worked at was nice, the kids behaved, and the day went by fairly quickly.

In other news, I started my Christmas shopping already. I couldn't hold off anymore. I wanted to get some of it done. I went to Burlington Coat Factory and put some outfits and toys on layaway. So far AJ has 3 pairs of pajamas, 3 or 4 outfits in 18 months or 24 months, a kitchen play center, a hockey toy set, a tool set, a potty, and he got Daddy some pajamas for Christmas too. I feel like I've forgotten something but I have my recept and I won't have to worry about it until it's paid off. All in all so far I have spent 150 bucks, although I haven't really spent that much yet.

So, I'm gonna scoot. AJ is going to go to bed fairly shortly, and then I am going to take a bath... and I think I'm going to make one of those no bake cheesecakes....mmmm.

So far so good, I've posted every day of November! Although, for anyone who reads this it may get rather boring very soon lol!

So, I've been searching for my camera cord since we moved because I have a ton of cute pictures of AJ from October. My mother finally found it and it was torn in half?!? It didn't look like it was chewed by a pet, just that someone had yanked both sized until it tore apart. Completely crazy! So, for now I have to remain pictureless because I have to find a new cord, order it, and wait for it to be mailed. A TOTAL BUMMER!

In other news, I have already taken a break from my crunch week lol. Actually, I worked hard last night and this morning to make sure that all three papers were done. I was successful, but I decided that tonight I needed a small break. AJ went to grandma's and I'm about to go to bed.

So, good night to all!

Crunch Time

Today is a crunch day. I have three papers due tomorrow and have been working on one for most of the evening. I need to quit procrastinating and just get it done, but I wanted to make sure that I get my post in for the day.

I will be glad with the day comes this semester when I'm done crunching and I can either read or crochet without feeling guilty because I'm not doing my school work. The end of the semester is always hard though because everyone always assigns the most. So, I think that instead of just being a crunch day, this will probably be a crunch week and I'll try to get some of the future projects done before their due dates to relieve some stress.

In AJ news, I'm thinking about taking him to visit his old Kindermusik class. Laura has been trying to get me to visit because our small infant class is still together minus AJ and I and apparently there have been so many changes that it warrants a visit to see all the babies growing up. Like my boy...


Just learning to sit and chew things with no teeth... I think he was somewhere around 5 or 6 months


Sitting up like a pro, eating like a pro, with all of his teeth... oh with a cap... at 1 1/2 years

No idea

Ok, so I've been sitting here a little while trying to decide what I would write about. My life is full of school work and nothing else that it would be boring to talk just about that. I don't have much else to say about the pregnancy right now because I'm waiting for my ultrasound on the 12th.

So what I want to talk about:

How I'm trying to tame the Christmas beast


I'm ready to go on this Christmas thing... but I don't have the time or the money right now to go all out to get Christmas started here. Plus, it might just be a little too early seeing as we haven't even passed Thanksgiving.

So, what have I been doing to stop myself. I keep telling myself that I'll wait until tomorrow because I have too much school work to do today. I fully plan on going and doing layaway so that I don't have to buy all of the stuff up front right now. And by tomorrow, I say that everyday so that it continues to get pushed off for the ever illusive tomorrow.

Either way, I'm excited for Christmas this year and I can't wait to get started.

NaBloPoMo




I actually can't believe that it is this time of the year again. It shows me how long I have been following some of my favorite blogs because I read through them last year. I didn't participate last year though. But this year... I'm gonna try. :-)

The goal: post everyday for the full month of November

I think I can do it... my blogging has be slacking lately.

Here is what I'm gonna post today:



It's not a very clear picture because it was taken with my phone, but I thought it was so cute. I did take some better pictures with my camera but I need to find the cord for it... which may turn into buying a new cord for it because I've already looked ;-)
