Life

A/C

Well today the A/C went out at the office, and let me tell you it is hard to work on Quarterly's when your brain just keeps telling you, Your Hot. It wasn't so bad this morning, but over lunch it got up to 80 deg. It is currently climbing and we still haven't heard anything from the A/C guy......I would so much rather be at the other office with the A/C running and me working on turnover problems.

I'm working with the lights off and the fans on hoping that it will keep it cooler longer but I just dont know that we have any hope. :-/

Life updated

Lets see what has been going on well I just finished Accounting 2 last Thursday, which I got a A in :) I am now off for four weeks which I plan on enjoying every minute of.

In the mean time I am working full time like usual. I am still splitting my time between the Accountants and the Apartments, which can make things a little hectic. It is turn over time at the apartments and this week is gonna be a crazy one. 30 something turnovers in two days is always fun. Not to mention I am doing Quarterlies at the Accountants, I just love having deadlines on top of deadlines. Oh well it's not as bad as it seams.


Oh Patrick, Shawn & I went to a Ranger meet about a week ago. There were only two Rangers there but we had a good time. Plus Shawn brought his F-150. We went to Sculpture Park, Fitz Root Beer and the Zoo.


We went to see Cars 2 and Harry Potter 7 part 2 at the drive in. That was fun. I haven't been to the drive in since Men in Black came out. Gabe had fun till he fell asleep and just wanted to go home.

Patrick has been working on his truck lately replacing break lines & ball joints and let me tell you that was an ordeal but I am happy to say that it is all fixed. Those were two very crazy weeks.

Car

Recently I have been on the hunt for a car. I have to get all the finances in order and I have to figure out exactly what I want. I love my car but it is becoming clear that it simply isn't big enough. It's fine when I'm just toting Gabe around town but you add Patrick Shawn and Wesson and you have three boys squished together in the back seat esp if we drive for any distance and the biting hitting screaming and pinching begins. and let me tell you this mama cant handle that.

I want an SUV but am considering a Mini Van which I am very unsure about. idk I just have never liked the look of one but the room is incredible and we could separate the kids so they each had their own little world and that would be great. Plus it seems I am always needing more space. Either way I am going to have third row seating.

It's a very slow process I am just looking around and considering all of my options. Whatever I end up getting I am going to love it and I am not going to be pushed into doing anything to fast. I just need to figure out exactly what I want.

Wish me luck. Any moms out there have a vehicle they just love?

Gabe Update

Gabe is getting more and more independent he is wanting to do everything himself he has to climb in the car himself he has to buckle his seat belt him self he has to go up and down the stairs all by his self. I am very happy that he can do things him self but when you are in a hurry it takes you 12 times as long to get anything done. It can also be very annoying if you pick up his cup when he didn't ask you to all hell can break loose. He has to have every thing just perfect I joke about him being OCD.

He is getting better about using the potty he is using it at all of the houses now. He likes to pee in the potty but still wont tell us when he has to poop in the potty. One step at a time I suppose. He has pooped in the potty I believe twice but it sure isn't a normal occurance.

We had a mini check up today just so the Dr. could ask about his eating habbits which of course I was happy to tell her that he is eating big people food now and NOT baby food. He now weighs 27lbs.

Well thats about all for now with Gabe, I'll update again soon.

My birthday and other stuff

Well I guess I will start with my birthday and then fill you in on everything else. My birthday was Saturday, we loaded up the three boys in my little car and drove to St. Louis. We were all very happy to get out of the car. We started by helping Kelli move in to her apartment. We then went to lunch at Fitz Root beer, which was very yummy. Then we headed to the zoo and may I tell you that parking is impossible, so we forked up $12. I had a great time we only spent about 2 hours there, but with three tired boys you do what u gotta do. The ride home wasn't so fun but all in all I had a great birthday. :D



Now for Gabe. He hasn't used the potty at home yet he doesn't want to tell mommy when he has to pee. He has however told Daddy and used the potty three times. (he calls mommy to brag every time :D ) He did tell me one time but we were at Granny Kites and I was anything but prepared for it there, we attempted but it was a no go.

We have been having garage sales. We have done it 2 weekends and come out pretty sucessful I think. We are gonna wait a few weeks before we try again. We will see if we collect anymore stuff to sell. (If you are looking for boy clothes 0-18m I have them).

I have officially started back to school with Accounting 2. It's not to hard yet, and I am hoping to keep it that way. It is turnover time at the apartments so finding time to be at both offices at once is a challenge once again.


Patrick and I went to Hermann for a Ranger meet a few weeks back. It was my first one, and we had a small group so a good one to break me into I guess. We had fun the boys were all driving thru the creek and stuff.


Patrick has bought a trailer that was originally for a jet ski or something, well he traded for it but whatever. He has been working on it and its pretty much done. I don't have a picture of it with sides but these will show u how far he has come. :D

Well that's about all for now.

Another Month

Oh gosh where to start. It has been a busy month.

I guess I will start with Gabe. He is starting to eat real food. No more baby food for him! He is becoming more willing to try new foods the only problem is finding things he can eat. His favorite thing at the moment is dipping green beans in apple sauce, he does it with carrots too. lol 


I took Gabe to his post surgery check up and everything is going great in that area, however the Dr. found out he had and ear infection in both ears. My poor baby. Anyway he was on antibiotics for 10 days and has just finished and is back to his old self.

Sean and I have decided to start potty training Gabe which is going to be interesting. We all have potties now Gabe picked out the frog. He is totally my boy :) Wish us luck!

We also found out that Gabe is going to be a big brother. Sean & Cristy are having a baby. Should be due in January sometime.

Lets see whats new with me, well I have finished Accounting 1 and I am out of school for 3 weeks before I start Accounting 2. Tax season is over which has calmed things down. I have been selling Gabe's old baby clothes. I took them to Childrens Orchard, and what I didn't sell to them I am going to put in a Garage sale, hopefully in the next couple of weeks.

This past week my Granny Kite went to the hospital. She was afraid that she had a stroke and some of the Doctors thought she might have needed a pacemaker. Anyway in the end they decided that she needed to change her blood pressure medication, because it was getting to low and that is why she was passing out. She is home now and doing yard work like nothing ever happened.



Patrick has been super busy, it seems like he is always working even after work. He has been mowing yards which has kept him going. And yet hes always looking for more work. He really just amazes me I have no idea how he works so hard. Oh and somehow he still finds time to go fishing. lol :)

Now for the holidays, Easter & Mothers Day. Well Gabe was sick on Easter so Sean and I took turns watching him between our activities. I went with Patrick, Shawn & Wesson to Cairo for and Easter lunch and the kids went on an Easter egg hunt. Now for Mothers day. My parents watched Gabe the night before so I slept in till 11:30 which was a very nice way to start the day then I went to get my baby and spent the rest of the day with him. We didn't do anything exciting just went to walmart and hung out.
