Great Birthday!

Today was a great birthday!  Even thou my hubby had to work.  My mom sent me a txt this am telling me happy birthday.  Which is amazing she remembered she's just like that!  Both my dads called me.  Meaning my biological and step father.  Which really made my day.  Tons of friends on facebook told me happy birthday!  Which rocked cause I been feeling like I had no friends.  I been blue for a while.  I woke up day over 30 and realized I'd never be president.  Now I realize who the heck wants to be president. I may not be put in history books but I am super important to 3 lil people and that's all that matters.

The kids all told me happy birthday.  Yes, I swear my almost 11 month old actually said "Happy Birthday Mommy!"  My In laws watched the kids and my sister took me to Applebees for dinner. Where yep 2.99 margaritas woo hoo!  While we were out the kids with their nana made me birthday cupcakes.  With pink frosting my favorite!  The kids hid when I walked in and jumped out singing happy birthday, with help from their uncle Ike he's 9!

All in all a great day!  I even got to play at the park a bit with the kids to!  Only thing that would have made this day better was spending more of it with the love of my life!  But somebody has to pay the bills!  He works hard for us and for that I am truly thankful!

Hello!

I haven't posted in a while (6days) Obviously! I don't know what my problem has been. I just haven't had the energy for any thing. We are looking for a house to rent, and the search is not going so good. We want to take our time and find the prefect place, or close to it! We thought we found that on Craig's list, but I think she was just scamming! She had us sign up at freecreditreport360.com so she could see if we were excited in the past 5 years. Then we didn't hear anything else from her. We quickly cancelled those memberships, and now am just bummed out!

Plus, the 30th was my birthday. I am 31 now. Which only reminds me that I am not getting any younger! I just feel like the world is passing me by. It rained all day that day too! So we couldn't really do anything. We went out to eat last week at a Mexican restaurant and the service was horrible so it sucked big time. Imagine sitting with your 2 kids with no food or drinks for almost an hour. The kids were miserable and so were we!

It just feels like the weight of the world is on my shoulders, and all I want to do is stay in bed! Unfortunately though even when I can stay in bed I can't sleep!

I wish someone would clean my house! If my house were clean I would feel better, but I really don't want to do it! I feel like I am going crazy I clean the kitchen so within an hour it can get messed up again. The same with laundry. I don't want to do it!

I really want a job so when I feel like this I can pay someone to help me out! That would be so nice! However, I don't want to be away from my kids EVER! For a while here and there would be good, but a job requires you to be away for set times. I don't want to miss anything!

I am thinking about starting to do day care. Maybe if I watched 2 or 3 other kids I could make enough money and still see my kids! I did the math and getting a job out of the home doesn't make sense. I would pay almost 300 a week for day care! Unreal. If I watched 2 kids and made 300 a week! Hey, good deal! Maybe!

Birthday on Monday!

Evie will be 2 on Monday. She is so excited she knows what birthdays are and loves them. We ordered her Dora cake today. She keeps saying, "Mine Birthday!" I can't wait. I just don't know what to do. I want to take her to Chicago to the aquarium we will probably do that on Monday. I ordered the cake for Sunday so we will probably invite family over for dinner. I just can't decide. I know the aquarium will probably be expensive, and I don't want to go over board. Daddy already spent way to much on her.

Despite having a toddler bed already, a nice wooden bed that was my brothers, daddy ordered her a Dora canopy bed and Dora bed set. It is cute as can be, but what about the other bed. Daddy says, "Christopher can have it!" I don't think that is fair, and what if she won't let him have it! She has already claimed it as her own. Walmart had a baby stroller and clothes on clearance so I got her some. I thought this was fitting since she got the baby for her first birthday, and still plays with it.

Well whatever we do I know she will have fun. I don't know what my hang up is about it. Maybe it is because she is growing so fast.

The second First Birthday Party!

Christopher turned one on Jan. 25th. So we had a party at home for my family. He had a Batman cake, and lasagna for dinner. Daddy, Mommy, Evie, and Christopher were here of coarse. Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Isaac, Aunts Abbie, Racheal, Haley, and Ashley were here also. Ashley brought a friend over. It was a little crowded in our 2 bedroom apartment, but it was fun. Daddy worked the night before so he slept until cake time.

My mom's birthday was a few days before so we bought her a game called whonew (I think). We all played that after dinner it was fun. The kids played a lot. Evie and Christopher got a ride on train for Christmas, that they haven't been able to play with much. So Racheal and Isaac set up the tracks and helped them play with it. Christopher loves it, but he can't hold down the button to make it go. He was so excited that they helped him ride the train. Evie is slightly afraid of it. However, the kids brought over their Nintendo DS' which Evie loved. They let her play some game. She couldn't really do it, but she had a blast all the same.

When it was time for cake we turned off the lights and sung happy Birthday. Christopher cried. I don't think he knew what to think of all the attention. It was funny. I had to take him out of his highchair and hold him for a minute. He isn't that into cake anyways. He did eat some. He wanted to play more than anything. He actually unwrapped some presents finally. We bought him some super hero cars that go after you shake them up. Evie liked those to. He also got some mega blocks, diapers, an umbrella (that Evie quickly confiscated, so mommy had to hide it), and some money that we put into his bank account.

It was so much fun. The best part was having all of my family together. Except my 17 year old brother who is apparently to cool for us. He was mad a our parents for "ruining his life" so he didn't come. I was mad about that, but got over it. All in all it was a good party. Evie and Christopher were so excited from everything that despite being extremely over tired at the end of the party it took me forever to get them to fall asleep.

Birthday coming up!

I don't know what to do for my son's first birthday. I want to do something special, but what. I don't what a big fuss. I don't want to spend a lot of money either. I do want something that we can take pics of and tell him about later. He doesn't need any toys. I'm still trying to find places for all the Christmas gifts. He does need clothes. I thought of having a small party inviting friends with small kids so they can all play. I just don't know what to do. I can't even decide what type of cake to get.

My daughter will be 2 in March. Her birthday is easy. We are going to Chicago to the Shedd Aquarium. She loves fish! I'm not buying toys, because she has to many as it is. I will probably get her some clothes to or shoes. I don't know. Since her day will be so fun I feel like Christopher's day needs something! After all it is his first, but on the other hand he won't remember it either!

Any thoughts out there?
