It's Moving Time...Again.

If you have been reading my blog for a while, then you know we JUST moved. And when I saw just moved, I mean we moved in to our current house in January. I'm pretty sure there are boxes still in the attic that we have yet to unpack. We had been in East Texas for several years, but our whole goal was to be back in the Dallas area. Of course, I have been elated being back here. My friends and family are here so it is wonderful being close to them again. But seeing as how life throws you the fastest curve balls, especially when you aren't ready to catch them, you just have to get that mitt on fast and throw it back. I haven't exactly thrown it back yet. I think I'm still processing this information like I just found out about it yesterday.

So, why are we moving, you ask? Well, since you are dying to know, I guess I'll tell you. Last year, Michael went to Tulsa to fill in for someone while they were out of town for two weeks. Davis and I went to visit Michael for a few days to hang out. I actually thought Tulsa was very nice! We went to the zoo, the aquarium, and other fun family places while we were there. So, while I thought it was nice, I never in a million years thought we would be moving there. Yes, Tulsa is where we are moving to. That same company called and offered a deal that we are obviously not able to turn down. So now the transition begins. And so do the stresses.

(This was on a bathroom door I saw on the way back to Texas. Seriously? I will send you smoke signals and you can come save me.)

Michael started his new job last week, and while he was working, I went for the week to help him look for apartments. UGGG!! Having to get an apartment while having a mortgage is just a tad overwhelming. If someone has any miracle grow for my money tree, I would really appreciate it. We found an apartment last week that we started to fill out the paper work on. I thought everything was peachy, but apparently not. I think I have become a victim of identity theft. I was flagged for being incarcerated for theft and auto theft in 2009. Come on, I may be a little wild, but I'm no clepto! Lord, help me. So while that is being handled, I am crossing my fingers that it is all settled. Oh, I was also born in 1968. I look damn good, don't I? Sheesh.

The sign was put in the yard just yesterday, and we had our first showing today. Wow!! I am crossing my fingers, toes, and eyes that we are able to sell this sucker soon. Looking for a house in the area??

While I know things will be better in the long run, things are just overly stressful right now. Davis wakes up and is always looking for Michael, confused as to where he has been. I also think he believes he is being punished because I have to keep all of his toys in the garage for when people view the house. His sad little face when he looks outside to see if Michael's car is there makes me want to cry. His tantrums that he has been throwing to show me how upset he is, is making me want to scream. The added stress is a lot! Serenity now, Davis!

And when this child throws a tantrum, he throws a tantrum. All DAY! But go figure he's an absolute angel when he's with others. Why is that? Riddle me this.

So, for now, I'm trying to stay calm and am praying Davis' baby horns stay in.

HELP!!!

Notice any changes at my blog? Yeah, this isn't a good thing. I have managed to completely wipe out everything. My sidebars are screwed up, layout is gone, images and backgroung. Kaput! So why am I writing this post? I need someone to redo my blog. Maybe this a good thing. I'll take a deep breath and calm down. I am due for an update. I can't find anyone that can do my blog until the end of the year. Is there anyone out there that can help a girl out?


HELLLLLLP!

My Favorite Little Guy

He's getting so big! Happy Wednesday, everyone

Bring on the FALL

I don't think I've ever been so ready for fall, as I am this year. I am over the 111+ days and am so looking forward to cooler weather. Being in Texas, I'm sure we will get a few...in December. Until then, I will just daydream. Crackling fires, warm hot chocolate, being all bundled up and going to a pumpkin patch, and of course carving them! Just don't forget the marshmallows on the hot chocolate!!

I am really looking forward to taking Davis to the pumpkin patch this year. He is so interested in everything right now, and can't wait to see his face when we get there. Although he will think all of the hundreds of balls for him to play with, I know he will love it. I may have to dress him up again when we go...in a Halloween costume, of course!

Since I don't live in Colorado and am stuck in the desert that is Texas, all I can do is put up fall decor and pretend I'm in a blizzard. So that is exactly what I did yesterday and it oddly put me in the best mood. I almost wanted to put on Christmas music to go along with my, 'I want to be in the cold,' mood, but I thought I would wait till at least after Thanksgiving.

Cute and simple.

What else is in the fall?? Halloween, of course. What better time than to try on a costume to see if it fit. On Davis, that is, not myself. My mom recently bought him a sock monkey costume, so this was the perfect time to see how my monkey looked in his monkey suit.

What a trooper, he is. He wasn't too happy with me, but I have to get him ready for our big trick or treating night. It only seemed right. Besides, these are the pictures he will just absolutely love when he's older. I just know it!

Surfs Up!!

Davis Is 2!

Yes, I have been very M.I.A. lately, and have so many posts that will be popping up all at once. But more importantly, my monkey man is 2!! (As of August 18) I know I say this all of the time, but seriously, where does the time go? It used to seem like my life would just slowly pass, but with a child in the picture, I'm on a constant jet, heading to wherever life takes us.

He is learning so much lately that it just amazes me. Of course I was pretty proud of myself when I taught him to ROAR like a dinosaur in about an hour. It's the important things in life!! He is waking up saying new words everyday, along with a counting 1, 2, and 3. But my absolute favorite is that he has become awfully cuddly and I am soaking it in. I honestly can not get enough of it. Davis is letting me rock him for a few minutes before he goes down to sleep, which for him is huge. Oh my sweet boy!

This year, we were unable to do a birthday party for Davis, which makes me extremely sad! I am told repeatedly that it is okay seeing as how he is only 2 and won't remember it anyway. (I will! Hello!) But we were with family at Lake Erie this year, so I guess that counts for something! We still sang him 'Happy Birthday' and had cake and pizza. He devoured the pizza and threw away the cake. That's my boy! (I always had a giant cookie cake as I've never been a big cake fan...until I met Michael. Thanks for that!)

Davis, I love you with all my heart and then some. You are my sweet baby boy and I am so beyond blessed to have such an amazing son like you. You have taught me so much in just two years, and I know there will be much more along the way. I love you baby!

I Love Spaghetti, Mama!

Everyone that has read my blog before, knows my son is a huge eater! The child can't get enough food....ever! Noodles is one of his favorites. He slurps those suckers up like a champ who has been doing it for years. When we were eating pasta the other night, I had to memorex the moment as he was eating like a little piglet.







Look, ma! No hands!




Heck with the fork! I got this!
