Summer Fun!

We have been very busy the last month and it doesn't look like its going to slow down anytime soon! September is full of birthdays, school starting for both kids, my 3rd term starting and the cool weather hitting us! Here are a few pictures from the last month!!!! Isn't that sad...That is all I really have to show? Aquarium pictures and fair pictures! Forgot my camera a couple of times :(

Random Thoughts....

Life has been so busy lately and I feel like my mind is going a hundred miles an hour, literally! Here on some things on my mind lately....

1) I'm in my second term of school...I love it...but, miss my evenings with Brogan. But, I understand that right now is the time to do this all! I just hope that I will be able to find a job...even if its just part time!

2) Brogan is going to start to go to school...Playschool. Two days a week...for 2hrs! I think this is going to be a great thing for him, cause right now we are having a hard time sharing, understanding that everything isn't HIS or MINE! Understanding what NO means, understanding that he can't have everything he sees. I just hope my child isnt the child that gets kicked out of preschool for being naughty! He has defintely tested my patience lately and it's been a struggle!

3) I'm sick of buying diapers! Bottom line, so over them...But, wondering where am I going to find the time or the energy to actually stay HOME for 2 or 3 weeks and train him!

4) I still can't believe Michael Jackson is dead!

5) I don't care about Brett Favre, end of story.

6) I have a secret obession...NASCAR and I have missed it! We turned off our cable right before summer started and we are having it turned back on here soon...So, of course during this time the past 10 races have been on ESPN. Thank god for the internet! Will look forward to it returning to ABC/FOX!

7) There are days I feel like a "single" mom. Most days, Allan and I pass each other at the door...him coming home from work, me leaving for school...with Brogan in the middle somewhere!! Plus, I have been working alot lately too...which is nice, but I feel like I do EVERYTHING...I do the laundry, clean, laundry, grocery shop, run all the errands, pay the bills...etc...etc...etc! I would love to be in charge of NOTHING for just a month! I know...In my dreams!

8) I miss my family in Indiana ALOT. I check for tickets everyday...but, now that Brogan is 2, I have to pay for him to fly! Ugg! Which means, I pay almost $700 for the both of us to fly to Indiana! Not sure when we are going to make back...My September is full with school stuff, bday's and life in general...October is busy already too...

9) I ready for my shows to be back on...DVR will be in full affect!

10) I really love being a Mom...and I have a sweet little boy...most of the time :) He has made my life complete! I cherish these days!!!!

Update on the BFF....

Yeah, I suck at will power. I still like my BFF and it's hard. Going to school till 11pm at night, its hard not to want to have one by my side at school (which I have been doing ALOT lately)...However, during the day, I'm doing great! Prob 2 during the day...and lots of water!!! Also, chewing lots of gum! I learned those secrets from THE BIGGEST LOSER...also when I get hungry, I chug a bottle a water and it helps too!

So, I am doing better...I just think this is going to be ALOT harder then I ever imagine!

My Little Man....

Brogan the day he was born

Brogan is going away this weekend with his Dad. They are heading down to the Ranch for his Dad's birthday...I, on the other hand is staying home. I have to work all weekend and I have made plans with some friends to go to this HUGE consignment sale here in town so....What am I going to do? Sleep? Homework? Clean? Read? Blog? Shop in peace? Lord, I could name about a million things I want to do without my 2yr old attached to my hip! I'm going to be honest, I'm struggling with him being gone. I have spent the last 798 days with him (I added it up)!!! I have NEVER left him overnight! He has only been left with a babysitter a hanful of times. I don't trust alot of people to watch him, our parents dont live close and I've been lucky in enough that my girlfriends have watched him when needed! Is that sad, yes...Cause it's been a LONG time since Allan and I have had a "date" night. I think it is starting to take a toll on our relationship. Since I started school, we pass each other at the door 4 days a week, literally! I have been working alot lately, which I'm very grateful for and homework takes up alot of time too! So, I think I'm going to start branching out and seeing if I can find a high school girl or a college girl that could babysit for us! I tell my brother and sister-n-law ALL THE TIME, how lucky they are to have Mom and Dad 2 BLOCKS AWAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm very jealous of that!



So, this weekend is going to be a test on me emotionally and mentally! I know that he will be fine with Allan and his Grandma and Papa but, still its hard....Guess it's part of letting go a little....I know one day, I will be putting him on a plane to stay weeks or the summer with my parents...but, I know I have a little time before that happens!!!! My Dad tried to get that to happen this summer...:):)

Obsession #1

There isn't alot to say...
But, I know he needs to hurry up and make another record, do a movie or just marry me! :)

What can I say....


I may have the cutest nephews EVER!
Miss and Love them VERY much!

My Best Friend...

So, I have this best friend....I love "her"...and I'm thinking of saying good bye to her for awhile...I have tried the past 2 days to ingore her, but its hard. She has been apart of my life for a VERY LONG TIME...We have been thru alot and she normally makes my days the BEST!!! But, I'm depending on her way to much and its taken a toll on my, literally! So, as of today....we are going to part ways...Hoping to see her again soon, but for now...its over....






Ha...for those of you who know me...I'm a diet pepsi freak! I drink WAY to much of it and I think its time that H20 becomes my new BFF...Its going to hard...let the bitchiness start and also the headaches. Tried to do it early this week and it lasted 2 days and I caved...a) cause school is stressful b) its hard not having one FIRST thing in the morning and c) basically i have no will power when it comes to ANYTHING...This is one of my challanges, as I start to change my life around...more so on the diet...working on alot of personal stuff too :) Will blog about that later!
