Great Start with a Rough Ending

Well me & Holli got up this morning & made my mama a pillow! She was my little helper ((more or less supervisor)). After that we went to mama's & Holli stayed while I went to Wrightsville to meet Stefany.
We had so much fun at the mall trying on sunglasses & going to Wal-mart to get our toes done! I would have never guessed that they would do such a GrEaT jOb!!! It was odd how we put our feet in hot candle wax. Lol. All in all, I love my pedicure even if I have lime green toes!
We walked around Wal-mart & got stuff for supper. I had fun with my best fin Stefany!!! =)
Well when I got back Holli was SO happy to see me. Since her daddy suprised me with getting off early, we headed to Swainsboro in all the rain. I had no idea that Ms. Betty & Courtney had been at the Emergency Room.
That poor baby slept most of the time that I was there & then she got up & seen her mama & papa. After Teresa (her mama) left, Courtney wanted a Go Gurt. She ate most of it & then fell in the floor & started having seizures.
It scared me to death! I stayed calm & we rushed her back to the Emergency Room. By the time we got there she had stopped but I meant they were going to see her right then!
That is the worst place to ever go! ((Emanuel Medical))
Courtney's nurses were nice but that one at the desk was rude.
I went up there for Kleenex for the baby & he said that we needed to go back to the room & wait! I was like omg. Then my parents added to the drama. ((Another story)) Courtney's temp is 103.7. So if you read this please pray for her. They claim its from a UTI.
This afternoon has been rough on my poor nerves. I just pray that she gets better & that this rain goes away! I better go before I go to sleep. I will update on Courtney tomorrow <3

Tiring :/

Well since Holli spent the night with Ms. Betty last night, I got to sleep in! I got up at like 11 am. I was shocked but it made me feel better. I got ready for Joey's grandma's dinner. It went well.
I was happy to see her out & about, talking & having a good time. Poor Courtney started running a fever. Now she has a kidney infection & I feel sorry for her. I was trying to take care of her while we were there. ((I could hurt her lazy mama))
I started feeling bad so I let Ms. Betty take Holli home with her. I went home & took a nap. I still don't feel really good but I am sure that I will make it. (: Just another day for a parent.
I went to Swainsboro & got some gas & Joey, Andy, & I went out to eat. Its good to spend time with friends ((for those of us that have them) lmao)) Anywho, I'll leave that for another day. We went & got Holli & checked on Courtney. I feel bad for that baby.
When we got home, we put Holli to bed & watched the end of the race.
Now we are in the bed! I have the best husband in the world. He makes me mad sometimes but he is always there for me <3 I can't wait to go to Dublin with Stefany tomorrow (=

Daddy time =)

We got up this morning & since Joey got promoted, he now works Mon-Fri. So...Holli got to spend some time with him! After that we all went to Swainsboro to Granny's. After a while, Joey & I left to go to the races. The track was awful! Joey finished last in the heat race. They worked on the track during intermission. Well Joey started last, got put to the back 3 times (FOR NO REASON!!!) & he still managed to win (:
My daddy finished 2nd but the guy who won was disqualified so technically he won!
(I fell asleep while blogging last night. Thankfully, its on my phone. Lol) I am super excited about going to get a pedicure with Stefany!
Well since it is now Sunday, I havta get ready to go to church for Joey's grandma's birthday luncheon. ((I'll post more later))

Stitches?!?

Today has been crazy. Holli didn't get up until 9:15. We headed to my mama's house. I called Joey on the way there & ask what he was doing. He said oh just going to get my hand checked out.
He confused me for a minute & then I asked what was wrong with his hand & he said hecut it really bad at work. I freaked out & told him that I was coming to Savannah. Like any man he said oh it aint that bad.
I told him if it required stitches I would come down there. So we went to mama's & I was very stressed out. Holli got to play in her new pool :) I'll upload pics soon. Then I finally got Joey to answer the phone. I asked what was going on & he said I'm leaving now, they stitched me up. I am twice as freaked out now!
He said I'm going to come home in a few minutes. So I went to Ingles & got what I needed & went back & picked Holli up. She had to go to vacation Bible school =)
Then I met Joey in Swainsboro. We went to Merle Norman & Joey had a hair appointment. He looks 50 lbs lighter!!! I asked Jessica if she had time to color mine & luckily she did! I love it!!! I would recommend anyone to her!
After we got home, I painted my toes & put little 92's on them (=
Then I took a bath & I had to clean Joey's stitches. Come to find out he has 7!!! It looks pretty bad :/ Now I am in the bed & glad that today is almost over.

Augusta with my mama (=

I got up at 5:45 this morning! Since Holli was still asleep I went ahead & did my hair& got dressed. After awhile I decided to go back to sleep.
Needless to say at 8:35 she was just getting up!
I had to run through the house & grab everything I needed. Then I rushed to take Holli to her Granny's. ((All Holli wanted to do was wake Courtney up!))
I told her bye & then rushed to my mama's. So then we left for Augusta. I absolutely can't stand three things...road workers on cell phones, $5 minimum on credit cards & most of all MINI VANS!!! Those three things cause constant stress in my life.
Well the doctor's appointment went well. I pray this helps. Well after leaving MCG ((the best hospital ever)) & Dr. Newman ((the best ob/gyn ever)) we went to the Olive Garden. It was soooo good (:
After that we went to Party City & they had no idea who Kai-lan was! So we went to Party n Dollar. They still didn't know! After that we went back to louisville to get my medicine. While we were in Fred's we got Holli a big pool & a floaty. :)
Then we went back to mama's & I went to Swainsboro & dtarted putting treat bags together ((we ordered the rest if the Kai lan stuff off the internet))

Hump Day

The title of this is exactly what today has been!((The peak of the week)) I'm still not sure if that's a good thing or not. This morning was kinda crazy. Holli got up & refused to take a bath ((after I got the shampoo in her hair))
Then as I took her to her Granny's she brushed her teeth =)
She is little miss independent! When we got there she decided Courtney & Granny were more important than me. ((I don't mind )) Then I remembered it was Joey's grandma's birthday! So Ms. Betty had a few visitors. I went to Harvey's & from the looks of that place you would swear it was either Christmas or Thanksgiving ((unfortunately for us it was just super saver wednesday))
Well, when I got back I cooked a Pig Pickin Cake. It was alright but it wasn't the best.
Then I talked to my hubby. He is crazy. There are days when I want to kill him but I do love him. =) Later on, I went to school & we did our med terms test. I made an 87. I am mad because I should be making A's but I haven't failed anything so...
Right now I am looking forward to two things, one being my doctor's appointment & my pedi with Stefany ((my best fin --how Courtney says it))
The cute thing about that youngin is that she'll start walking & turn around & say, "Mon buddy." to Holli, who will chase her down.

Quail =]

Today was just another normal day. Or so I thought. Holli started trying to walk =) Courtney was being a bad girl all day.
I tie dyed shirts for them & have green hands. Lol. I went to class & didn't do much ((since I took the test last week))
When I got home I started cooking my quail :) It is so good! Now I am watching Everybody hates Chris with Joey =)

Tater Tot Casserole =)

So this afternoon I decided that I was going to cook since Ms. Betty had to take the children ((Holli included)) to Vacation Bible School :)
I decided to cook a tater tot casserole. So, I had to run to Harvey's to get what I needed & while I was there I picked up some quail. ((I'll get to that later))
I made the dish and served Hoppin' Johns ((black eyed peas)) with it. It was sooo good! Oh before I forget, while I was gone Courtney got on the step stool & fell off. While falling, she started wetting herself. I know its ugly to say it but it was so funny! She is crazy.
Joey is putting a body on his racecar ((as everyone else would say "about time" He got a good start on it & while the children were at church, I got an email from Ms. Poss saying that I made a 95 on my Research Paper for English!!! =]
I was beyond thrilled. After we came home, we jumped in the shower & waited for Holli to get home. I did my SCT 100 work. Now all I have to do is a Final in that class & English!!! I have a presentation & Final in Psychology. In med terms, I have a few more terms ((I got ahead in that class today)), a terms article, 2 more tests & a Final!
I truly believe that I can handle the classes that I chose for Summer.Quarter! Oh I forgot about the quail. Lol. I am going to make smothered quail tomorrow night. =] ((I should have went to cooking school))

Registration

Holli spent the night with my mama last night & I stayed up doing school work. After I finished I made Courtney a shirt.
Well we got up this morning & I went & registered for Summer Quarter. I have math online, anatomy & intro to healthcare. Some say I can't do it, well we will find out. :)
I know what I am capable of! Anywho, I went & got Holli. Now we are at Ms. Betty's & I am officially done with English & Psychology!!! All I have left are finals & a presentation! As of tonight I will be done with SCT 100!
I am proud of myself. Well I better go for now =)

Races

Well last night was rather interesting...Joey won (barely) & they had people trying to fight out there. Holli spent the night with her Granny & when Joey & I got up this morning we spent some time together & then went to Wal-mart.
I think we should own that place by now. Lol. Anywho, we came to his mama's & I cooked lunch for everybody. After that I got Holli to sleep & cleaned up. Now I am waiting on Joey to get ready to go to church :)
I am excited about registration in the morning! I know next quarter is going to be hard but my bestie will be there with me =)
Courtney has been asking me all morning where my best friend is!

11 months old :)

Today started out like any other day, we got up & got Holli fed. After that we watched the new Backyardigans movie. I swear Holli is JUST like Pablo on there! He was singing a song about "I get whatever I want". Lol
Then we went to Swainsboro & went to Granny's. I did some med terms work & finished chapter 13. Then Stefany got there & we went up town. We went to Wal-mart & got some acrylic paint.
I couldn't paint if my life depended on it. Lol. Stefany painted some cute stuff for Holli & Courtney. I believe that is the baddest three year old in the world! I love her to death but she is aggravating.
After a while, Stefany left & I went in & cooked some muffins. The children liked them ((Joey included)) He is the biggest youngin! Then I helped Ms. Betty with supper & did more med terms. Then we came home & put Holli to bed. I started my sct 100 work but decided I was ready to quit lol.
So now I am getting ready for bed! I had so much fun with Stefany today! Courtney wanted to go home with her as long as she could paint. Lol. Its hard to believe that at 11:46 a.m. Holli turned 11 months old. I feel so old!
It definitely doesn't feel like that long. I remember waddling around crying with my feet. & when I was getting up every few hours to feed a new baby. It may seem crazy but I do miss those days. ((Sigh))
Now I know what my mama cried about at my wedding. It truly won't be like this for long. It is best to enjoy the moment & make the best out of it. You never know who will be there tomorrow & you don't when you'll take your last breath.
Live life to its fullest, love hard & live with no regrets!!! & most importantly always think before you say, you never know who may be listening & who it may hurt.
As Thumper was told, if you don't have something nice to say don't say it at ALL!!!

Presentation Day :)

Last night was crazy! Holli kept screaming in her sleep. I guess she was having nightmares! So..when we got up (early) this morning she was in an awful mood. :/ We sat around the house until about 10 & then we went to see her Grandma. :) She was excited to see her.
Well I bought some Hollister Oceanside Super Skinny Legging Jeans & they are super tight :/ That stuff came today. After awhile daddy asked if we wanted to ride to the machine shop with him & we did. Holli went to sleep on the way.
Way before we got there she woke back up. We stopped at Ryan's to eat. I seriously doubt I'll EVER go back! Awful service & food. Holli pitched a fit & threw all of her food on the floor. I kinda felt sorry for our SLOW waitress.
She wouldn't even offer to clean the table. I had to go find another one to do it.
Anywho, I left Holli with her grandma while I went to Sandersville to do my presentation for English.
I guess it went well. I hate getting nervous! Ugh. Had fun with Stefany. She is my best friend! I know we have had problems before but who hasn't??? Even me & Joey have had problems, like with any "good" relationship they normally get resolved & FAST.
Sometimes I don't know what I would do without her! :) Even Holli loves her :D
Well when I got home, I attempted to start on my stupid SCT 100 work but apparently Office 2007 Home & Student Edition doesn't have Access! Oh well, I am trying to download a trial for Professional 2007. I absolutely HATE that class!!! I am ready for the next 3 weeks to go by. Anywayz, Holli & Joey are sleeping & I should probably be doing the same! I am amazed by the fact that Holli will be 11 months old tomorrow :D

Fiiies & Dorie

Holli & I slept in this morning! :) After we got up, I fed her breakfast & I got dressed. When she finished I attempted to show her the potty again. She whinned about it and sat there for a minute. Then she wanted to look in it! We are now buying "Easy Ups" rather than diapers.
I never knew they made them that small. Well we went & got gas & went to Zaxby's & got fries. We went to Ms. Betty's & when I walked in the door all I heard was "Cate-Cate, I want fiies."
To start off I swore she was saying flies but she meant fries. Lol. After awhile it was "Cate-Cate, I wanna watch Dorie & some hicken strips." Then I went to school & signed up for my PSB!!!
I took my med terms test & made an 80. I'm proud of it lol. Now I'm at home spending time with my hubby :D I love him soooo much!!!

Buffalo

Today went by fast! Holli & I got up & messed around the house for awhile. I started introducing her to the potty :) She was scared of it at first but then she wanted to pull on the gear shifter. After that I took her to Zaxby's and then to her Granny's. I went to see my parents before school. We talked for awhile and then I went to school.
I went to find out about the PSB and I am suppose to know something in the morning :D I'm sooo excited!!! Well then I went to Psychology. Even though it is my third time taking the class, I do enjoy it.
We found out what animal that our personality relates to. Mine relates to a buffalo. (Perfectionist, optimistic, not concerned with feelings) LOL. Sounds just like me!!! I am so tired of people thinking that others are talking about them. We are grown & have way better things to do.
Just GROW up!!! If I have something to say to anybody, I will tell them. (Especially with no meds!!!) Well even with my meds! I have a family & a life. Some people need to get one...I am stressed out & don't have time for it.
Anyway, if I hurt your feelings that probably means that I am talking TO you, NOT about you. Ugh.
I made some spinach/sausage lasanga. I know it sounds weird but it tastes sooo good! Then we watched some more of Brothers. Its getting better. I'm not ready for my test tomorrow :/ Oh well, I better go to bed :)

John Deere

All of us slept in this morning! After we got up Holli ate cinnamon toast and had a bath. While Joey was giving her a bath, I called Sandersville Tech about taking my work keys test. They wanted me to come in today! We called Ms. Betty to see if she could keep Holli and she said yes.
So we took her over there and went to Sandersville. It took me about 15 minutes to take the test and I made a 6 out of 7!! :) After that we went to Walmart and I bought some new fabric and we bought Holli a Cars potty! We left Walmart and went to Maricela's.
It was sooo good. Then we went to Stefany's house and watched her cook. We showed her "The Clap." LOL. When we left from there, Willie was behind us playing..he is so crazy!!! We were laughing about it. Then we went to Lovett's.
Ugh, Stefany was right!!! He sure enough broke us. lol. Then we came back and got Miss Holli Dolli :) She hasn't been feeling well. So she went to bed super early. Probably means I have an early morning ahead of me :(
I made a new dress and I know Stefany is going to LOVE it!!!



I made Joey a pillow case too!!

Quality Time :)

We went to the race track last night. Since it has been so hot, we left Holli with Joey's mama. Well, I took advantage of the situation & wrote my psychology paper at the racetrack. I had so many people telling how focused I was. Lol.
Honestly after you have a baby nothing distracts you. Anyway, Joey drew #1 and won the heat race and feature. To be honest, watching him was boring. The rest were just funny. Lol.
Since it was late when we got home, we let Holli spend the night with her Granny. I sewed a dress before I went to sleep & Joey fell out watching Jeff Dunham. Well Mrs. Betty said she wasn't going to church but this morning Joey's grandma decided that she wanted to go. She called us and said that she was going to church & that she could take Holli.
So we let her. While they were at church, Joey & I spent some much needed time together.I love spending time with my hubby. He is the most amazing man in the world. (Has to be to put up with me!!) Then me & Joey went over there & I did all of my school work. Joey worked on his race car.

When Holli laid down for her nap, Joey & I ran to Wal-mart to finish birthday shopping :) Now all we have to buy is a potty! (Yes Stefany, Joey wants the one with the gear shifter lmao) We came home & cleaned house while Holli destroyed it. Lol.
I got mine & Joey's room & Holli's room cleaned, vacuumned & steam cleaned. Oh and the hall. Joey got the dishes washed & the refrigerator cleaned out. We fed Holli supper & then ran back to Swainsboro to give Jared his present. Unforunately, I hit an armadillo on the way there.
Well I had no place to go & didn't even realize it was alive until it was TOO late. :( After that I checked on school stuff & made a salad. Joey & I ate while watching Wrong Turn 3. It was gross! Then we started watching Brothers. It seems really good!!!
Now we are in the bed. My snuggle buddy & the two mutts are a sleep! I am looking forward to spending time with Joey on his day off <3
OH BEFORE I FORGET---please DO NOT let your children watch The Wiggles---they sang a song..."The Clap Song"..."I've got the clap & I'm giving it to you..Who wants the clap? I do, I do!" I would DIE if my child started singing that!!!

ToDdLeR tImE :P

This morning was extremely stressful on me. :/ I'm better now and that's all that matters. I really want to thank Stefany for being there for me. You are a true friend and I am thankful to have you.
Holli spent her morning watching tv and taking her Gerber Snacks containers and opening them up getting what she wanted out and closing them back up! She is a mess. I am so glad that she was in a good mood.
Well at lunch time we took a nap and we both woke up feeling better. So we went to Zaxby's and got something to eat. Then we went to her Granny's house. She played with Courtney all afternoon.
I'm glad for that too! Well after Joey got home we went to Walmart & got more Gerber Snacks for Holli and animal crackers for Courtney. Then we ate supper with his mama & came home. I'm really glad that today is almost over. I hope tomorrow is WAY better! Well I better go, I think Holli is whinning.

Stupid Dog, you make me look BAD!

Since Kim didn't have to go to the doctor, we just visited with my family. I did my Psychology test and made a 96!!! :) Thankfully, I am done with that class for the week. I have SCT and Med Terms left!
Well, I went to Ingles yesterday and bought Holli some Gerber Graduate snacks and she is in love! Then she went to sleep on the way to Swainsboro (after she poured chocolate milk all over herself). We watched her da da work on his racecar and then we came home.
I cooked and Joey put Holli to bed. After that I made a tiny dress and we watched New Moon. It was so good :) Joey got into it :P Then we went to bed and at about midnight the dog started barking (at nothing) and woke Holli up!
We stayed up for a long time trying to get her back to sleep.Then after she went to sleep, the stupid dog started barking again! I was ready to kill her!
Now Holli is eating cinnamon toast and watching Diego. I'm sooo tired :(

Kai-Lan Cake!!!

I was too tired to blog last night. Anyway, yesterday I took Holli to her grandma and I went to Wrightsville to meet Stefany. On the way there I went through a BAD wreck. When a big truck and small car are involved, it is never good.
I finally got to Wrightsville and got Stefany and we went to Dublin :) We went to Cake Art and ordered Holli's Kai-Lan cake!!! I am SO excited! I know its going to be pretty. I think her party is more stressful than my wedding! I want everything to be perfect and NOBODY will mess it up!!!
I got to see the invitations Stefany made and they are gorgeous! I'm excited about those too. Now I have to order all the party supplies and finish up getting her gifts. Everything is going pretty well with the party!
After we left Cake Art, we went to The Freckled Frog and picked up Stefany's burp cloths. They are so cute!!! After that I took her back to her car and then went back to my mama's to see Holli before I had school. She is so rotten.
Then I left for school, took my med terms test and made a 75. I'm proud that I have passed all my tests. :) After school, I went and got Holli. We were on our way to Swainsboro and she went to sleep! So Joey ran in Walmart and we went through the Zaxbys drive thru.
We came home, put Holli to bed and ate. Then we started watching New Moon. Joey got bored quick so he started playing on my laptop. Lol. Then we attempted to go to bed and his crazy sister called with some mess about she was running out of gas by our driveway!!!
Joey told her that he couldn't help her. (Which we didn't have any gas in a jug) So we went to sleep anyway! Lol. Now Holli is enjoying Dora and her pancake. I'm about to give her a bath. Lol. Thinking about riding to Augusta with my mama & sister! Prolly will. :)

Get up Cow Girl!!!

This morning was kinda rough. Holli got me up at 5:27!!! I finally got her back to bed. Thank God. When we got up again, Holli had stomach problems so she was really upset. Poor thing ): She cried and cried and cried!
So we went to Louisville to get our meds. She fell asleep on the way! I have been about to cough myself to death. Lol. We spent some time with my mama and Holli stayed with them while I went to school.
Then I found out Joey's grandma had kidney failure. I hope she gets better, right now she is in ICU. Please pray for her.

At school, we talked about stress. I wouldn't know how to act if I wasn't stressed out. Lol. We did all kinds of exercises to reduce stress. I was surprised to find out I am the ONLY person who does not like the beach. I don't see swimming and fun. I see hot sun and sand, nasty water and sand between your toes. Lol! It was interesting though.
When I got back to mama's, they had Holli playing in the grass! She was pulling it up and trying to eat it!!! Then she was standing up on her own! I'm so proud. She's gonna be walking soon. :) Well we left and she went to bed when we got home. I stayed up late making her a cow dress. Sooo she is going to be a cowgirl (literally). Haha. Anyway, I better go to sleep :P

Tie Dyed!

Since I haven't been on here in a few days, I should recap! My daddy won the race Saturady night, had an okay Mother's Day. It's not about what you get, its about how you take it! (I didn't want a gift. Lol) I already have what I need...a husband that loves me and a spoiled little girl!
Well I finished all of my school stuff for the week and all of English for the quarter! I'm so happy :)
Today, I went to Stefany's house and we went to Dublin. I was late as usual. Lol. Even though Cake Art is closed on Mondays we still had fun!
We got some new fabric and sewing stuff. Finally found Holli's Kai-Lan clothes! OMG that child will go crazy over Kai-Lan. That is her favorite show and her party theme. I'm excited about her party
I have to order the cake and start preparing invitations and ordering supplies. Yay!!! Anywho, we went to see Stefany's grandpa. I hope he gets better soon. Then we got our toes done! I love having my feet done. It relieves soooo much stress. :) Then we went back to her house and tie dyed some shirts.
Stefany is too impatient so the shirts look alittle crazy. Lol. (I love her anywayz) =] Then I magically stabbed myself in the toe with her knife. I have no idea how it happen. Honestly, I feel stupid about it because it was my fault.
I guess that's why dummies don't play with knives. Haha. Well, Holli and Joey are knocked out :) I love those two monkeys. It's like me and mini me. =]

Pillowcase :)

So far today has been better than yesterday. I made a pillowcase with lace trim and a bow. It is so cute :) Holli really wants to learn how to sew. She has been trying to mess with the sewing machine all morning!
Then we left the house and on the way to Swainsboro Holli went to sleep. We got Zaxby's for lunch :) Then we came to my mama's and gave her Holli's mother day present. She liked it.
Now we are getting ready for the races and to see the best daddy/husband ever!!! (Joey, of course!)

Mother-Daughter Banquet

Today was not so well. Holli woke up before the sun came up and was in a bad mood until she went to sleep! We went to her Granny's house and I did alittle bit of school work and washed some clothes.
Then I left Holli there and came home and made Holli and Courtney each a dress. When I went back I studied some more and put Courtney's dress on her. She kept saying "Look at my present."
Then we waited on Joey to get home so he could stay with his grandma. It was sweet of him to agree to stay so his mama could go. Well while we were there Holli attempted to kill my phone. Ugh. Now the backlight doesn't work. :/
The banquet was nice except for my ill child who wanted her duh duh. (I asked her if she was going to stay with him BEFORE we left & she said no.) Little Monkey!!! I still love her stanky butt :P Well I'm about to go to bed.

Learning to Sew

This morning started out kinda crazy. Holli got up at 7! She watched tv for a long time and then had her pancakes. After that she was ready to play. Since it was pretty outside, we went out and waited on Stefany to get here. Holli wanted to crawl in the grass but that was not about to happen. So she just sat on my lap and laughed at the dogs!
When Stefany came up, we took a ride in the "Airplane" and took Holli to her Granny's. Then we went to Walmart. It is so stupid because it sells sewing machines but no thread or fabric! What's the point!! Then we went buy Zaxby's & got Holli & Courtney some fries :) After that we came back to Kite and Stefany showed me how to sew. (Thank you) We made dresses for Holli. Stefany's looks better than mine. Lol. I guess it is because she has practice where as I don't.
They still turned out cute! I am so glad she came over! I had fun. I am excited about her coming tomorrow. We are going to sew more and then go to a dinner at the Kite Church of God.
Well, Joey had an ASE test tonight. I hope he did good. :) We spent time with his mama and niece while he was taking his test. Anywho, I'll post pics tomorrow.

The Airplane

I had a med terms test today. I was kinda worried before I got there and then I got the test. It was rather easy. (If I would learn how to stop speed reading my grades would improve) Any who, I made an 87. Yay me!!! After that, I went and got Holli and we went and got Joey and went to Zaxby's. (Gotta love that place :P )
Since my car is having issues I am officially renaming it. It is no longer the Oldsmobile Alero. It will now be known as the Oldsmobile Airplane. I swear that is what it sounds like. When you take off, it starts out low and gradually gets louder until it is SO loud you can't hear the radio over it. It is the absolute most annoying sound in the world. :/ I hate that car!!! (Joey is suppose to fix it Friday) Well I attempted to start sewing tonight. It was an awful experience. Lol. I messed up more than I should have. I am super excited about Stefany coming over tomorrow to help me.
Mama thinks that she may have threaded the machine wrong. I was like I don't know. lmao. Holli has started trying to walk. She is trying to hide it from us. She wants to remain the helpless little baby. (Personally, I am okay with that! I wish she would stay small forever.) Now she wants to eat on her own and all. It makes me sad that she is growing up but happy that she is progressing at a normal rate.
I can't understand why people talk so bad about teenage parents. As long as you "grow up" then you should be fine. Take responsibility for your baby! I am a teen mother and my child has enough clothes to cloth a whole tribe and more toys at 10 months old than normal 10 year olds have. Joey went to college and graduated and is now working and he was a teen parent. I am in college and I stay at home with Holli. I mean if you want to make it happen then you will. Always strive to be the best that you can be. Just because we are young does not mean we aren't capable. I know several people that had children when they were in their mid twenties or early thirties and are worse parents than any teens. It really matters on your level of responsibility. If you can't take care of a goldfish, you probably don't need a kid.
(Sorry, I am just sick of being just another number) I am far from any judgement of a teen parent. Besides life is too short to dwell on everyone else's opinions. :D

Marriage

I have been thinking a lot about marriage. I think it is because we are nearing a year and a half :) Growing up I heard a lot about marriage, both good and bad. To me, marriage is something you have to experience on your own. It is like that new flavor of icecream that you think looks yummy but are unsure about.
I have heard how marriage would be good for the first year and just go down from there. Honestly, I have yet to see it go any where but up. I was pregnant for part of the first year and Joey was always there for me and he loved me through all of the crying, vomiting, temper tantrums and sleeping til lunch. Then I gave him the most precious gift in the world...Holli.
She truly changed us. We went from being two teenagers to being two parents. It helped us a lot. I don't think getting pregnant without any support for a baby is a good idea. Holli has always had the best of everything and we have always been able to give her that.
I love my little family :D Marriage is the most wonderful experience ever. Especially when you are married to the best man in the world! I love him with all my heart.

Follow Up Day

We got up super early this morning for Joey's follow up visit. Poor little Holli hated getting up but loved her pancake sausage! Dr. Sidow told Joey that everything looked fine =] Thank God. Then we went to Target and bought Holli some birthday clothes.
Then we started back home and when we got to Wrens Joey had to have some Prescott's Strawberries :) They are the best. We dropped Holli off at my mom's and then we went to Wal-mart and got some angel food cake and some vanilla icecream. We went to the inlaws and shared. It was soo good :D I finished up all my school work except for med terms and I'm almost done with it. Now its time to start writing papers :/ Got three to do.
Anyway, we came home, got a bath before the weather got bad and then started cleaning. I cleaned out Holli's closet. A whole garbage bag of clothes!!! Its so crazy. I dusted the whole house and Joey cleaned Scrat's (our chinchilla) cage. Now it is bed time.

Family Time :D

For the most part, we stayed at home today. Joey went to the shop this morning to clean his car & find out what was wrong with it. Holli & I slept in. (Thankfully) Anyway, when Joey got home he gave Holli a bath and we all played for a while. Its so nice to have some family time. I miss when Joey worked closer because he was always there. Now he works an hour & a half from home. The good thing about his job is the pay & he works with some nice people. :)
Anywho, eventually Holli took a small nap & Joey & I got to spend some time together. It's hard being a parent because there is no time spent between husband & wife. It's all about the child or family. (Which I don't mind) Holli stole my heart from the day the First Response said YES! She is a small wonder & is so perfect. It is hard to believe I was blessed with such a wonderful, precious gift from GOD.
Well we went to Wal-mart and then we went to Zach & Cassie's. (I finished the Wow Wow Wubbzy blanket & they bought it :D ) Then we came home and cooked pork, buttered potatoes, homemade macaroni & cheese & peach cobbler. It was so good!!! Now I am in the bed not looking for to this follow up with the oral surgeon tomorrow. I am not looking forward to Joey going back to work Tuesday either :(

To Emily: I bought that fabric at Hancock's. They have a website: hancocksfabric.com. It is kind of pricey though. (Sorry my BlackBerry won't let me comment)

Pulling Up and More!!!

Well since I didn't blog yesterday, I am going to now :) I was too tired last night. We got up and went to work on the race car. Then we left to go get Holli and to wash clothes. I love my house but it was not meant for a dryer and I am not the clothes line type. So while we were at my parents' house I did the laundry. While it was going Joey, Holli and I went for a walk. We walked some and ran some. (Holli was in the stroller) So we got our exercise. Well when we got back, Joey started playing with Holli and she wanted to get on the floor. She has been pulling up some with help and had managed to get on her knees by herself. She showed us what she has learned which is how to crawl up to something and pull all the way up. =D I am so proud. Today she has been pulling up and trying to take "baby steps." Every once in a while, she will turn loose to try to hold her balance. It is so cute.
Today we took her to the Pine Tree Festival in Swainsboro. She slept through most of it! Then she woke up and wanted to be nosy. By that time I was about to heat to death. (Note to Self: Never wear black when you have to walk like that!!) We went out there for the ribs and blooming onions. They are so good! After that we went back and got full and I took my psychology test. I was so afraid I was going to fail. I made an 80 so I am happy. Being a parent and student is tougher than it looks. I never imagined that it would be this hard. I know it will be worth it though. Well I am at the Pinetree 100 now. I am not enjoying the heat or the fact that I had to leave Holli with her Granny because it is too hot for her to be out :( I guess it will be alright. I am hoping that Joey will win tonight. He has worked hard this week even through his pain. He totally deserves it. Well I'll post the results later. (Prolly not the World of Outlaws, I have no idea who they are.) LOL
