Halloween 2007

Happy Halloween!

I've got a cold, but we took our Mr. Skellybones Trick-or-Treating anyway. He let me paint his face, sort of. Zac and I wore our matching Jack and Sally shirts (probably our new tradition since it's easy). Jac had fun. He brought home a ton of candy.

One Year Anniversary

Today is our first wedding anniversary! We went to Kroger and picked out the most autumn-looking cookie cake. I can't believe it's been a whole year. It feels like no time has passed, though our little toddler will prove otherwise. It's been an amazing year in this marriage so far. He's my best friend, my soulmate. Here's to 99 more, Love.

Fairgrounds and freedom

My classes have been keeping me busy and being a mom has been keeping me busy. I just don't have time to be on the computer anymore, or for more than a few minutes. I mean, I don't mind, but I like taking Life Notes, just in case.

I quit Hollywood Video. A new manager was hired and he was absolutely terrible at his job. He would leave the building and not answer his phone, he was disrespectful to the employees, and didn't know how to handle any problems the customers had. He hired a bunch of new people and started promoting them over me. One older employee, who had no idea what she was doing, kept bossing me around with the attitude of I-can-do-what-I-want-but-they-won't-fire-me-because-I'm-a-minority-and-a-lesbian. I requested tonight off and it was approved last week, but was put on the schedule anyway with a shrug and "oh well" so I ditched work and went to the Mississippi State Fair. At least I didn't set the building on fire... right? The fair was fun, though. And Zac took me to Outback for dinner.

Haircut

I made a decision and immediately regretted it. I chopped my baby's hair... I mean, he's adorable, but now he looks like a big kid and I'm scared the baby curls won't grow back. I blame my parents. They've been telling me he looks too girly and have threatened to take him to get his hair cut while in their care multiple times... Ugh. But, he's still super cute. We're hanging out at Mawmaw's for now.

College Life

So, it's the first day of college for Zac and me. We're trying to be good parents and go to college so we can make our lives better for our family. I am majoring in art. Tonight was my nemesis, College Algebra (my second time taking it), and so far, my brain feels like it's going to explode from the concentration process. Other than that, I feel confident that I can improve my mathematical skills enough to FINALLY pass this course with something higher than an F. Zac's offered to help me as he just gets math. We shall see. I hope I'm setting a good example for the munchkin.

Pneumonia

About three weeks ago, Jac developed "walking pneumonia". He was given an antibiotic and started feeling better. This morning, he relapsed into a more severe case of pneumonia and couldn't breathe without making awful sounds, so we're in the hospital. He's so miserable and there's not much I can do to make him feel better. I've been distracting him with Veggie Tales, but he's definitely not happy. Even his onesie says "if I'm not happy, nobody's happy". The worst part is this IV in his tiny little arm. I just want my baby to feel better.

Dance & Bath

Jac has been fascinated with Zac's DDR game. He squeals and runs all over the mat, stomping on the buttons. It's hilarious.

He had fun splashing in the tub after his workout.

Park

We brought little Dude to the park this afternoon. He had such a fun day! I pushed him on the swings and he went down the slide all by himself.

Surgery and Stuff

It's summer weather! I'm hot, but I'd rather be hot than cold. We've been taking walks through the neighborhood and looking at all the flowers. I'm trying to teach Jac his colors and sounds animals make. Mom watched Molly over the weekend, so Jac had fun playing with her.

Bud had to have a small surgery today to fix a botched procedure. It was quick, so we were in and out within a few hours. He's going to be resting a bit today, but he's got too much energy to sit still for long.

Swimming

This weekend Abbi and Payton came over, so we filled up the kiddie pool Mom bought and Jac played with his cousins.
