This year is flying by!

Well, Eli and I have made it through the majority of this year! Since I last blogged, so much has happend! Eli is now 19 months old and growing like crazy! I am engaged to the most amazing MAN! Yes, I finally have found myself a MAN! We are getting married in January, and there is so much to do! I go to school part time, and I take care of Eli and my soon to be step son Nate. I hope to try and continue this blog. I have missed writing. I come here to vent, talk about my family, gossip, and whatever else may come to my mind.

Catching up

Sooooooo!! The last time I wrote was in October!! It has been a busy couple of months. We had an amazing halloween. John was a Jedi and Eli was his Yoda! I make Johns costume every year. And for the past three years he has won best costume at his work! Whoot! Whoot! It is a competition in my head! I make it my mission to make John look good! Then we went trick or treating at the zoo. It was awesome! Eli was Nemo and was adoreable. I think I will hopefully go again next year!
Then came Thanksgiving, Eli and I went to Tulsa to see Thomas' family. We had a pretty good time. I liked the idea of Eli meeting all his cousins. And he has ALOT! There were at least twenty kids there! He didnt even get to meet them all. Plus, the food was amazing! Fry bread and corn soup for Thanksgiving, you cant go wrong there! Its Thanksgiving NDN style! I loved it, and enjoyed my time with everyone.
Now, we are almost past Christimas, and I'm realizing time flies! Eli can now walk, has his first tooth, and is completely amazing! Things have been a little difficult up until now. I have been taking care of John and Eli while my mom and sister were away, going to school, and everything else! I finally gave Thomas the boot and have not regretted that decesion one bit! It's the best thing I could have done for myself! I'm a much happier person and I will be a much happier mommy! Now, he and I are trying to figure out where to go from here. Last weekend was the first time we had to do drop off! It competed for the second hardest day of my life. After I dropped off Eli, I drove to the mall and sat in the parking lot and cried! I didnt know how hard it would be to drop off my little guy. But, with time I know things will get easier.
Tomorrow is Elis first Christmas, and I have all his toys and stocking ready for the big day! Its going to be strange without my mom here, but, next year will be awesome!
This Christmas I'm so greatful to have John, and Jenny supporting Eli and I! I'm increibly greatful for Eli and all the happiness he has brought to me the last nine months! God knew I needed him in my life! I'm looking forward to the all the wonderful experiences and people the new year is going to bring! Merry Christmas!

It has been a while since my last post! Not much has ben going on but, Eli is growing up too fast! He is walking and talking and Im loving every minute of it! However, with his new found abilities comes major stess! Eli is putting every damn thing in his mouth!! I didnt know my gray hair could come in so fast! Even this morning we had a choking incident! I know its up to me to make sure there is nothing available for him to put in his mouth, but it is so hard! I had no idea that this was the stressful part. And I thought the first couple of months were stressful! WRONG!! Now that he can crawl and walk he is getting into everything!! I dont think im going to make!! LOL!

Will I ever feel normal again?

Am I ever going to be normal again? I absolutely loooooove my boy! But, I tried to go to the store and get things for Johns Halloween costume!! UMMM impossible! Its raining, Eli is throwing a fit! I feel like I cant do anything!! GEEZE!! He seriously threw a fit at the counter and threw his bottle and laughed! I was pissed!!! We had to come home! Now he is the amazing little boy I know and will always love! But, it sucks that I cant do the things I need to do when were out and about. So I wonder when I will ever feel back to normal. Or is this my new normal?

Morning mommy time and Elis third word!

Every morning around 4am, Eli wakes up so happy! We lay together and he crawls around and all over me on the bed. This is the time that he is most vocal! He talks to me for about an hour every morning. Its my most favorite time! This morning he was laying on my tummy saying awoof! It took me a moment to realize, but he was saying WOOF!! He has this toy that says woof woof!! I cant believe it, this is his third word!! I love our morning time together so much!

Baby recall

So I like to try new things, when it coms to Eli. Last week I made my weekly trip to Babies R Us. I saw new pouches of baby food called Plum Organic. I bought about ten pouches!! I took some on my trip and started feeding Eli the new food! The next day began his diahrrea, and has yet to stop!! I can't even remeber what a regular dirty diaper looks like!!
Yesterday, I recieved a phone call alerting me to a recall on the very food I have been feeding Eli!! I freak out and call Babies R Us, they denied that they sell that food!! WTF!! I was pissed!! I just wanted them to know so they could pull it from there shelves!! Also! they threw a fit when I asked them if I could retrun my remaining product! I was so mad!
