Thanksgiving

Ok well Gabe's Surgery got postponed again. This time it's because he was sick. He isn't going in until January 14th now.

We went to Cari Jo's Birthday party which was fun, It was really nice to see her it had been forever.

On Sunday we went to the holiday parade downtown. Gabe and I went with Abbi and Lorelai. It was Lorelai's first parade.

We have Big plans for thanksgiving this week. The Bias Family Thanksgiving is on Thursday for Lunch. Then Sean is gonna come over and spend the rest of the day with us, we are going to put up the tree and just have some family time. On Friday I'm going to put up Granny Bias' Tree. Then on Saturday is the Kite Family Thanksgiving. So by the end of it all I should be fat and happy.

School

Ok, I graduated from MACC with my AA degree in May. On October 30th I went to Columbia College for Preview Day, just to get a feel for the campus and see if that is what I want to do. I have since applied there. My plan is to go into business management at the moment. Since I don't really have an idea of what I want to do for sure I thought management would be a good place to start, and could probably help me with whatever I do. Anyway I hope to start in January taking evening classes. They are 8 week classes and I would only take one class at a time. I'm very busy and do have a wonderful little boy to come home to so I want to keep the amount of time I am at school and the amount of homework I have to a minimum. I haven't heard back yet about my application so we are just waiting, for now.

Homecomming and Halloween

So I'm a little behind on my blog. We are going to go back to homecoming. Gabe and I went to the Parade which was fun we sat on top of a parking garage and watched from above. He really enjoyed it. We also went to Shelter Gardens that same day and just walked around. It was just a nice day with my baby boy.

So on the 30th for Halloween I went to Lauren & Greg's party, and Sean had Gabe. They carved pumpkins. :D Then on Halloween night we went around and saw a few family members. Gabe isn't patient enough to go around and see very many people yet. He was a monkey just about the cutest one ever. :D
My baby Boy :D So Sweet

Separation :(

I figured it's about time to let everyone in on whats going on. Sean decided a couple months ago that he wasn't happy anymore and that he needed to be more on his own. About 1 month ago he moved in with his dad. This was all brought to my attention very suddenly and was very difficult for me at first. However Sean seems to be happier now. :( I am dealing with everything at my own slow pace. I'm doing OK with him at his dad's and I'm glad that he has his own room now :) We are not divorced yet, but I do see it in our future. I know that many of you are going to want to say awful things about him and that's fine but please keep it to your selves. I do still care a lot about Sean.

We are separating our money so that we can be more individuals. Now Sean does make more money than I do and I'm not sure if I can make it on my own or not. I do think it will be a little tight for awhile. He's not just dumping me on my own though he wouldn't do that. He offering to help me if I need a little extra money. We are splitting any Gabe related bills like his food or Doctor Appointments, and Sean is paying for his own car ins and Cell phone and stuff.

Gabe is living with me at home. Sean still watches him during the week while I am at work and on Sundays and anytime I might need him too. I don't want anyone to think that he is leaving Gabe because he's not. Sean is a very good daddy and would never do that.

I think that overall I am dealing with everything very well. Don't get me wrong I do have days where I break down but that's to be expected and other days when I am pissed off to high hell, but I really am doing OK. I just focus on Gabe he's my world and always has been. In all of this he is what matters and what gets me through the day.

Pumpkin Fest

This week wasn't to eventful. My mom and I took Gabe to the Pumpkin Fest. We got pumpkin fudge :) Gabe got a new book, I got a new purse and a new necklace :) oh and of course we got some pumpkins.

Today is my parents 30th Anniversary. They went on vacation without me. I guess thats allowed from time to time ;) They are out getting massages and riding horses and just relaxing. Sounds good doesn't it?

A busy weekend and a new McDougal

Last weekend started early on Friday. I got off at noon, went to lunch and went shopping. I found a dress and off to Tony & Keri's wedding we went. It was at the Columbia Country Club. It was very beautiful. After the ceremony we went inside for the reception. Each of the Tables was a different city that the happy couple had traveled to. There was a suite case on each table decorated for that city, it was very cute. The biggest surprise of the night was Keri's sisters speech, she got Truman the tiger and 5 MU cheerleaders to come out and do the MIZ-ZOU cheer. If you couldn't guess they are Tony and Keri's favorite team. It was very cool.

Saturday was a very busy day. Sean & I found Gabe a Halloween costume. Then My mom and I took him to the corn maze. It was a good time we found 5 of the 8 checkpoints, and about that time Gabe fell asleep in the stroller.

We went back to my house and my mommy helped e clean. :) Which of course isn't very exciting but in this case it is because we got the office cleaned up and made some sense out of it. The room now looks like a REAL guest room. I'm so proud of it. :)

Abbi had her baby girl yesterday at 7:04pm. Lorelai Elizabeth McDougal was 7lbs 2oz & 20-3/4in long. she is very sweet.

Halloween

We picked out Gabe's Halloween Costume last weekend, isn't it cute. :D
