What a great wife, mother, friend and grandparent

My Thanksgiving didnt go as planned. At 9:00 in the morning we got a call that my grandma had went down hill over night and that it didnt look good. They told us to hurry and get to the hospital as fast as we could. Well we got there and and we all got to say our goodbyes. I think that she knew that we were all there but she couldnt talk to us. My grandma was a great lady and she will always be loved and remembered.

Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to all you that celebrate it! I unfortunately have to work and in the middle of the day for that matter. My family isn't doing anything this year because my grandma is still in the hospital and my grandpa is there constantly. I will be at work and well that's half the family. My dads side of the family isn't that big. It consists of my aunt and uncle their 2 kids and me my dad and zach and my grandparents. There are a few others but they don't spend the holidays with us. Daniel is going to bring me left overs after I get off work. Isn't that sweet? Well I wish you all happy Thanksgiving and enjoy your time with your families.

What a day

I woke up this morning with a migraine from hell. It was so bad i could barley take care of my own child. I get these alot. In September of 2003 i got in to a car accident and well i got a concussion and it wasnt treated. So now i get these constant migrains where i can barley walk or let alone move. Its horrible. Luckily Zach was a perfect angel this morning for me or i dont know what i would have done.

So this evening I am at work and im pulling ad signs because new ones go up in the morning. Well i look up and there is Daniel holding a vase with 2 red roses in it. I thought that was just so sweet. Considering he is the one that is working long days not me. I worked a whole 5 hours today and he worked about 16 today (not joking). I've never really gotten to many roses in the past from my exs except on v-day or my b-day. So i much appreciated it.

I got Zach the cutest little tub today. I was using the little plastic one but well he is just to long for it. I coudnt find the little seat that you sit them in and sit in the tub. Well tongiht i was working in the infants department and i saw this and just had to get it. When you squeeze the nose it quaks for about 30 secs or so. I gave him a bath in it tonight and he loved it! He was splashing and laughing so much.

Just another day

So today Aarons was supposed to come over to look at my computer and either fix it or replace it. Well they didnt show up. I waited around my house till 2:50 and they were supposed to be here between 10 and 2. So im a little irritated with them now. But i am going to call again tomorrow and see if they can stop by tomorrow.

Today I took Zach over and got his Christmas pictures done. They are just so adorable! When i get them back i will post them. It took about an hour to take 6 poses becasue he was fussy cause it was his nap time but i ended up getting some really cute ones.

So Daniel has Zach tonight casue i needed a babysitter and so his mom came and got him before i went to work and Daniels dad is going to bring him to me in the morning. Im starting to get used to not having him ocasionally but its hard cause i dont have anything to do with out him. So i just get all the things left to do like house work and little things like that done. SInce it doesnt take me as long to do it I get bored. But i know he is in good hands and i will see him in the morning.

DELL SUCKS

So tonight i have spent around 2 1/2 hours on the phone with Dell. I just got my computer about a month ago and well about 2 weeks ago i couldnt get into any of my messengers or my email accounts. I thouhgt it was my internet service at first so i switched well that wasnt the problem. So i decided to call dell. So my first attempt at talking to someone i waited 20min and then they guy picked up and started talking and i got disconnected. So i called back a second time. The lady said something was wrong so i had to correct it with some other person and well no one was there and so it disconnected me. Well i called back again and i talked to another person and they put me on hold for 45min before someone picked up. Well they picked up and then hung up on me. So then i called back again and they told me that i had to buy some stupid software package before they could help me and i told them that i didnt want to buy it because i had only had the computer for a month and i didnt feel that i should have to buy it becasue i still am under the waranty. Well the fucking tech guy told me that well this problem that you are having isnt covered by your waranty so in order to fix it you would have to purchase this package. By this time i was really pissed off at dell and i told they guy look here i dont want to buy some stupid fucking software package i dont want to wait on hold till im grey. I want you to connect me to someone with out being on hold (yes i told him about all the other times i had been hung up on tonight) and this guy had the nerve to say well mam im sorry but unless you purchase this package we can not help you. And i responded well fine im going to return the your fucking piece of shit dell and get my money back because your customer service sucks ass. And then he asked me how i would like to rate dells customer service tongiht. HE ASKED ME HOW I WANTED TO RATE THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!!!

One of those days

Have you ever had just one of those days where your just in a bitchy mood for no reason what so ever? Well i did today and i feel really bad because me and Daniel barely saw each other all week and the first day that we get to spend together I act like a complete total BITCH! I dont know why exactly. And i feel really bad and i apologized to him for it then i started crying (no its not that time of the month) because we dont see each other much between our work schedules and him coaching basketball. And well i just felt like shit when he brought me home. I mean i wasnt bitchy to anyone else but him. We spent the whole day at his house and i was just fine with his family. Errr i dont know whats wrong with me. But i do know that i feel so bad cause i was really really bitchy towards him.

From sick baby to Football game

So my poor little Zach is sick. Yes sick. He has got the sniffles and every time he sneezes something comes out with it. I think this is why he isn't sleeping through the night and getting up more than once. If it doesn't seem to be getting better on Monday I am going to take him to the doctor.

On better notes the civil War is tomorrow. Those of you that don't know what I am talking about it is a college football game between the Beavers and the Ducks. They are both Oregon teams. Everyone around here gets dressed up whether they go to the game or just watch it at home. They hang up flags outside there homes and hang them from there vehicles as well. Were the attire that they think is right. I personally am a Beaver fan and me and zach both will be dressed up in black and orange. Daniel my boyfriend is a Duck fan and well he is just so sure that they are going to win. But they are going to loose and on their own turf!!


GO BEAVERS!


edit: so the beavers lost to the ducks 56-14! But who lost last year??? yeah thats right the ducks!!!

not tired today!

I look at the clock and it says 9:30. I think to myself no way is it 9:30 in the morning my clock must be wrong. Well it wasnt wrong. Zachary slept in till almost 10:00 this morning. What a wonderful change from yesterday. Even though i woke up with him 2 times again last night I'm not as tired. This morning he is just all giggles. I am giving him his floor time now cause i have to work to day and im not sure if he will get it with the babysitter.

Good morning?

Last night I had to get up with Zach 2 times. I haven't had to get up that many times with him in about a month or so. It about killed me. At 2:48 this morning I hear this cry. This was no normal cry this was one of those ear piercing crys. So I got up and made him a small bottle and he ate about 2oz then went back to sleep. Then he woke up again at 4 something and ate about 3 oz and went back to sleep. After that I figured hey he might sleep till about 7 or so right?? NO! He woke up at 6:15 and he wasn't hungary. He just wanted me to play with him. So we got up and we did our normal routine. I plop him down on the couch and bring out the comforter on my bed and cover him up. Well 6:30 in the morning is just to early for me so I made some coffee. Well after I got my first cup ready and sit down to play with him this is what I find. Him fast asleep. I mean come on couldn't you have fallen asleep earlier when mommy could have gone back to sleep to? No of course not. So not only am I up just way to early today I have to work tonight. Then when I get home he will still be so awake he wont want to go back to bed and I will be up with him till about 11 or so im sure.

The crib

So i moved Zachary into his crib and he loves it. I mean really really loves it. I can put him down in it and he will just lay there and talk to his mobile. I will wind up the mobile and he starts to smile and giggle and talk to the little animals that hang from it. But oh as soon as it stops going around and around all hell breaks loose and he starts to whimper and if i dont get there fast enough to wind it back up he starts to scream and scream untill i do.

He no longer slleps in my bed with me unless he wakes up at 4 in the morning and im so tired i dont want to get back up to put him back in his bed.

He is getting big so fast. Now he is trying to do the whole army scooting thing on the floor. He is getting pretty good at it today he actually got off the blanket for the first time. He usually just spins around in circles untill he gets pissed off.

Chicken little

On Sunday after church Daniel, Brandon, Adam and I all went to see Chicken little. It was a really cute movie. It is one that I am going to buy later on so that Zach can enjoy it through out his child hood.

Aunt Rachel

So i know that it has been awhile since i have posted anything. Well nothing has happened really you know same old same old. Working, trying to pay the bills, trying to have a likfe and spending time with my little guy. Well my older sister finally came up to albany to see zach. He is now 3 months old and this was the first time that she had seen him besides pictures. It was good to see her and i hated to see her go back home.

Holiday Party

So I know it has been a few days since I have posted anything but I just haven't had the time or the energy. On Saturday night I went with Daniel to his company holiday party. We went to Spirit Mountain Casino. Well the dinner was good and I enjoyed meeting some of his employees. But for those of you who don't know I am only 18 and well you have to be 21 to go into casinos. I wasn't even on the gambling floor or in a bar or anything I was just standing there talking to Bev (Daniels mom) and the security guard came up and asked if we all had id and I was like no cause im only 18. I didn't think it was a problem cause I wasn't on the floor. Well apparently not. I was past the borfer line or something like that. So the security guard asked me to go over about 5 feet. Then he notified all the other guards that I was 18 and that I was trying to gamble (when I really wasn't wanting to gamble I just was standing there talking) I mean yes I was going to go out on the floor to be with Daniel because I wasn't about to go sit in the arcade by myself for 5 to 7 hours no thank you. But that is besides the fact. I think it is dumb that I at 18 can go to war and get my self shot, I can by cigarettes and get cancer, I can gamble with lottery tickets and lose my money that way, I can sell both cigs and beer, but I can not go in to a casino and choose to gamble my money away. I think that's dumb.

So instead we got a ride home from Chris and Mindy (Misty) because we had brought Brandon and Michelle (I think im not that good with names I know it started with a M) with us and they didn't want to leave considering it was only like 9 so we left Daniels truck with them and went home. We watched the ultimate fighting finale and I fell asleep. I know it was so exciting!

Growing so fast!

I just cant believe how fast Zach is growing up. I feel like i just had him the other day. Well now he is going to be 3 months old on Saturday. He now is trying to sit up all by himself. He will be sitting in my lap leaning on my legs and throw him self forward thinking he is doing it by him self even though he is folded in half. He absolutly loves standing in my lap or anyone elses for that matter. He doesnt much care to lay in my arms anymore or lay on my chest. I miss that so much. But then again i want him to get older so that i can hear him call me mommy. I just wish that i could have both (i know im selfish)

Grandma Stephens

Well last night Grandma Stephens went back to the hospital. Something to do with a lover intestine infection. When she was in there last week they gave her a perscription and well when she got home she just started puiking and couldnt stop. So my Garandpa looked the perscription up online and in big black bold letters it said that shouldnt take with these medications and well of course my grandma was on some of those medications. So the perscription that the hospital gave her was eating all the good stuff up in her and leaving all the bad stuff so she is back in. I went and saw her last night and she seemed to be doind alright. I fed her some ice cubes and visited with her for awhile. Hopefully she will be out soon and back u pon her feet.

Ten thoughts about life

I saw this on another blog and i liked it so i posted it.
Number 10 - Life is sexually transmitted.
Number 9 - Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
Number 8 - Men have two emotions: Hungry and Horny. If you see him without an erection, make him a sandwich!
Number 7 - Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day; teach a person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks.
Number 6 - Some people are like a Slinky..... Not really good for anything, but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs.
Number 5 - Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.
Number 4 - All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
Number 3 - Why does a slight tax increase cost you two hundred dollars (or rands, in South Africa) and a substantial tax cut saves you 3?
Number 2 - In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.
AND THE NUMBER 1 THOUGHT FOR 2005:We know exactly where one cow with mad-cow-disease is located among the millions and millions of cows in the United Kingdom, South Africa and America but we haven't got a clue as to where thousands of illegal immigrants and terrorists are located. Maybe we should put the respective Departments of Agriculture in charge of immigration?
