Today....You are ONE!

One year ago today you came into this world and changed my life forever!  You gave me meaning and purpose, you opened up this whole other part of my heart that I didn't know was there.  You made me realize that you are the reason that I'm here. 

This last month has been crazy....crazy busy and...well...just plain crazy:
* You have already started throwing little mini temper tantrums....you are completely over dramatic....not quite sure where you get that from!!( I will take full responsibility but that will be our secret!). 
*  You have taken a few steps by yourself.  We try to help you and you want nothing to do with us.  You obviously want to do it on your own.  One day soon you are just going to take off....for now though you are a fast little shit and get to where you need to go by crawling. 
*  It's funny because you are so independent when it comes to certain things and certain situations yet you are completely attached to my ass the other part of the time.  You are fine with other people as long as you don't see me or know I'm there.  This has made mommy's left arm muscle very disproportionate to the rest of her body!

*  You LOVE being outside!  You love to swing on the swings over at Antie's and would spend all your time out there if we let you.
*  You are a total chatter box.  Your new word is baboo for bottle.  You got that from Belle Boo....that's what she calls her bottle.  You are starting to recognize words and what they are related too. 
*  You are still obsessed with the phone and are constantly "talking" on it. 
*  You have graduated to your big girl car seat....we switched them out this last weekend.  It makes me a little sad but it's nice not breaking my back everyday lugging that damn carrier around!

*  We are trying to get you to drink out of your sippys more but you are still a total bottle baby....when you do drink out of them you usually make a game of it and spit your shit everywhere!
*  You follow your uncle Joey around EVERYWHERE.
*  You destroy most everything!
*  You are a dancing fool....can't wait til we can get you into dance class! 

*  You are a total diva and have absolutely ZERO patience.  Again....no idea where that shit comes from!
*  You can make me smile one minute and make me want to rip out every hair on my head the next!
*  You have a horrible temper...at this moment you are screaming and flinging yourself into the ottoman....as if the ottoman did something horrible to you!  It did nothing to you!
*  You weigh 21.2 pounds and are 28 1/4 inches long which puts you in the 50th percentile for both....your head is another story....apparently you are in the 90th percentile for your big ass head.  I don't think you have a big head....and if you do it's only because you are already a genius!!

This last year has been amazing!  It's been the best most hardest year of my life and I wouldn't change it for the world.  You have brought me more joy than I could have ever imagined.
Happy First Birthday Mia Lou!  We love you more than you could ever know!

Old Saggy Balls!

I've been a horrible blogger the last month or two and I have no good excuse except we've been crazy busy and by the time I have time to write I just want to lay!!  I have no idea what's going on in this whole other world of mine....I feel a little lost and it's totally my fault.  I'm hoping to get back to my "other" family here real soon....slowly but surely!

Onward to the whole saggy balls situation....my husband turned THIRTY!! last Friday (we haven't gotten to the whole saggy situation yet but rumor has it, things start to go south once thirty hits.....I can hardly wait to see what happens to me!!!)  And me being the horrible wife that I am did not to a birthday post for him yet.  Well....here it is. 
I decided to throw him a surprise party which was not so much a surprise when I found out that one of the invites got returned due to wrong address and Justin decided to open that shit and saw a big blue sheet that said SURPRISE!!  Really right now??  Oh well....I tried!!!  So a whole lot of my family showed up and not a whole lot of his did....they are all on my shit list right now....total other post, and his good friends showed up.  Which now I'm wishing they didn't because instead of partying like he was 30 he partied like he was fuckin 21.  We don't go out much anymore and so one would think to not drink like we go out every weekend.  NOPE.....that most definitely didn't happen.  There were shots being had and more shots after that.  Soooo, by about 10:30....he was DONE!  And when I say done I mean vomitting excessive amounts over the railing outside.  And me being the fabulous wife that I am didn't want anything to do with that shit!!!  I got one baby at home to take care of, I don't need another.  So I made asked Justin's cousin Brad to take him home in his truck because he ain't pukin in my car!  Plus we wanted to stay and party....shit I had a babysitter.  But once I saw that he could barely get his drunk ass in the car I decided I didn't want to come home and find him face down in the hallway or hanging over Mia's crib!! 
Needless to say he made it home alive and didn't puke in my bed.  He was a big pile of shit on Saturday and did absolutely NOTHING.  Which is fine with me....I'm going to be pretty depressed when I turn 30 and probably a big pile of shit myself!! 
Happy Birthday Lover, Love you even though you can't handle your booze anymore!!!

Happy Birthday to my Favorite Old Lady!!!!

Happy "29th" birthday to my most favoritist older sister (she's my favorite older sister because she is my only older sister)!! 
Deb....I hope that you are having an amazing day and that this next year brings you all the happiness in the world because you out of all people completely deserve it.  You are one of the most caring and generous peoples that I've ever known and I feel honored to have you as a big sister.  You have taught me so much and I can always count on and rely on you for anything and everything....Especially with all of my mental status issues!!! 
We've alwasy had our special bond and am so grateful for that.  Not only are you my sissy but you are also one of my bestest friends.  I love you very much!!!
Happy Day Lady, You are the Best!!!

My last year of my twenties...shit I'm almost an adult!

This Friday the 6th is the start of my last year in my twenties......I'll offically be 29!  It sorta makes me a little sad?!  Not sure if that's normal.....but then I again that is not usually a word used to describe me!  I'm just coming to the realization that I'm totally a grown up!!  Holy shit when the hell did that happen.  First I'm a wife then a mom and now a grown up??  I want to know who allowed this and why!
I am pumped though because Justin was supposed to work but now he doesn't have to so he is taking me out for seafood with his mom and dad and sister.  And then on Saturday we are going for dinner out to the house with my family.  It's a tradition in our family that for birthdays we get to pick our birthday dinner and then just hang out and have some cocktails.  I picked a delicious pasta dish that my mom makes with steak, shrimp and zucchini in a cream sauce with linguine....completely low fat!!! 
I'm excited to spend the weekend with family and just relax!  Not so excited for the 90+ degree heat and humidity though....I've seriously had it with this heat....go away!!!!
Hope everyone enjoys their weekend!!  Happy fricken Friday finally!
