| I'm Back once again |
| 07.01.04 (5:34 pm) [edit] |
Well, the computer is fixed yet again...a new power supply and a new hard drive and I am back in business. It has been a long, painsaking road. I have hauled this thing around all over town. Hopefully there will be no more issues. It should be a great 4th weekend. I hope everyone get the chance to celebrate.
I had become somewhat 'obsessed' with blogs before the computer went down...I ended up with a dirty, neglected house, not to mention I could have used the time to spend with my adorable son. So, in changing the look of my blog--and the title once again-- I have decided to do things differently. I loved creating the dolls for my family and friends before the computer broke and I plan to continue creating with my psp and post my creations. I can't guarantee I will post every day...I will however post often.

Congrats to my beloved father-in-law, greybeard for being voted #1 on the Featured Blog list. He has put alot of hard work into his blog and though he has only been blogging for a short time, you couldn't tell. He is good at it. He post blogs that make you think, make you laugh, and will challenge you (I know they do me). I have greatly appreciated the opportunity to learn more about him.
Congrats Greybeard!

| We got Rain!!! WWooohhhoooo! |
| 05.31.04 (7:26 pm) [edit] |
You can see my excitement...it doesn't take much. :lol:
I washed the truck and the explorer today so it is fitting that it rained. I am contemplating washing the cars everyday for a week if it would entice the rain to fall!! I didn't do much else today. Dianne came home and we went to dinner--Mexican food, my weakness. I am doing well on my diet. 8 lbs in 2 weeks. I will measure and tape tomorrow to see the results. Hopefully the mexican food won't pack on too many pounds. :cry: It has been a good, but uneventful day. I hope everyone enjoyed their holiday weekend. Now that Di is back, I plan on hitting the beach. Ahhh, lazy days of summer!
This one is for you Di... a sex goddess!!! (check out her blog http://angeleyesdpr.tblog.com...)

| Long day.. |
| 05.29.04 (5:07 pm) [edit] |
It has been a long day so I'll make this short. I have been cleaning all day. It used to only take me a few hours. How things change with a little one. I am exhausted. I don't think I will have any trouble sleeping to night!! Hoot has already gone to bed--his little bum is blistered. I feel so sorry for him. I can't stand to see him in pain. It just breaks my heart. I hope everyone is having a great weekend. I'm outa here...figured I'd watch 'Sandlot' and relax!!

| Thank you! |
| 05.27.04 (7:07 pm) [edit] |
Thank you, bloggers, for all your words of wisdom and encouragement. They mean so much to me! Thank you Magoo, for introducing me to t-blogs. I have met many great people and I have gotten to see a side of my family that I might have missed. There is something about the written word that seems so pure, so honest. I look forward to sitting infront of the computer everynight, typing my thoughts and venturing out into other's lives to find out about their day. It inspires me to become a better person
[b][u]THANK YOU ALL!![/u][/b]

| Question? |
| 05.26.04 (1:38 pm) [edit] |
I have visited many blogs since I became a blogger and many times I read deeply insightful and sometimes philisophical posts; blogs that make you think or question what you believe. Optimistically this should challenge me, but I can't help but walk away feeling inferior. The highlights of my day consist of feedings, diaper changes, and patiently waiting for Hoot to take a nap so I can have 5 minutes to myself. I can't help but wonder why anyone would by interested in my little life and the ramblings there of.
I have always considered myself an intelligent person. Maybe somewhere in my delusions I am intelligent. I have read many brilliant discussions over the blog and I can't help but question my preconceived notions. One problem with finding yourself it that you have to face the truth about who you are and who you are NOT! No one ever told me that introspection is painless.

| Stranger |
| 05.26.04 (1:22 pm) [edit] |
Contemplating what to say
Will he think I'm ignorant?
If I do this or that
Will she think it foolish?
Everyword spoken is inspected
Under a microscope
Searching for hidden meanings
Why is their opinion so important?
Afterall, I barely know them
I'm sure to play a small role
In THEIR thoughts
Why do I strive so hard to please a stranger?

| It is a good day!! |
| 05.25.04 (3:50 pm) [edit] |
I got alot done today and that makes me feel good. We got up early and I started in on the garage. I have been wanting to tackle it for a while. Everytime Aaron comes home we make a mess of the garage...it is clean now. I went through alot of boxes and got rid of the junk. Some went into the trash and the better stuff, I set aside to take it to goodwill. I am trying to get it set up so I can create crafts, paint, or whatever! It is apart of the whole 'finding myself' project. Hoot was really good today. He loves being outside. It was a good day!!

| Blog Facelift |
| 05.24.04 (11:50 am) [edit] |
I changed my blog, title and all, to reflect what I have been going through lately. These last 4 years have finally caught up with me. I think that I was always so busy before that I never slowed down to see that I was disappearing. I got married, so my focus changed to pleasing my husband. We moved to his home town of Pensacola, so I tried to please his family and his friends...being what ever I thought they wanted me to be and hopelessly falling short. So, I crawled into my
shell and didn't really talk to anyone. I focused on my job or school...not letting anyone know the REAL me, hidding from everyone(even my husband). Aaron seemed to cope with my retraction by playing with his friends. 6 months ago I had a baby and became a stay at home wife and mother. I've had so much time on my hands, Not to mention the issues Aaron and I have had this time he was home, I couldn't help but look at what was really going on. . .
It is funny how a baby shines a spotlight on any problems you might have in your marriage. So, we have had a few long talks and discovered what each of us need to work on. I am trying to come out of my shell and communicate with people...instead of just running away any time things get rough. I am trying to find myself again (I know, another crazy woman who whines and cries about loosing who she is!) so I will be a better person, mother, wife, friend and when Aaron asks my opinion or what I want, I have an answer...
It hasn't been an easy thing--finding yourself. I have heard many women talk about trying to find themselves again and I always thought they were full of it. Now that I am going through it myself, I am sorry that I snickered. I am excited to see where this quest will take me and I am looking forward to finding the girl I used to be and adding all of the wonderful things I have in my life now.

| I'm back... |
| 05.23.04 (6:28 pm) [edit] |
I know I haven't been on here in awhile...
:oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: :oops:
Everytime I tried to get on here during 'the move' I spent forever just waiting for things to download that I got frustrated and logged off. After the week I have had, I didn't need the extra headache!! It started with a trip to the doctor's on Monday...Hoot had his 6 months check-up ( 28"long and 20.3lbs--Big boy huh?) and shots. They didn't bother him too much this time, but we had other things we dealt with. He has gotten in the two bottom teeth and has begun to bite me when I breastfeed him. Not to mention the other day when I was trying to feed him, he screamed, cried, and through a fit. He just didn't seem to want it. As some of you know, I had some issues earlier with Hoot and formula, but after consulting my family I decided to give it another shot. He took to the bottle like a champ. For the next few days, I tried to breastfeed him and he would bite me again...often times throwing another fit. So I put him on the bottle and let my milk dry up. Talk about painful...OUCH!! :cry:
Hoot is on the bottle full time now and he seems to be doing well. I guess he was just ready to be weaned off. He is such a big boy (at 6 months) he likes to sit up to eat his food and drink his formula.
In the midst of all of this Hoot began screaming at me at the top of his lungs. I tried everything I knew to do and nothing helped...I even seemed to make it worse at times. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with him and I couldn't make him happy. I went back to the wise mommies and have been trying something new. It seems to be working. :D
I will tell you more about my week from hell later!!

| Hello again |
| 05.15.04 (8:27 pm) [edit] |
Another day has come and gone...so, I sit at my computer recapping the days events. Nothing special happened today. It was a day like anyother. I wonder what I will do tomorrow. What will the day bring? I want something to happen to make my day different than all the other days. Maybe I will get up the nerve to paint, or try something new--or something creative! I hope my stomach settles down. I so wish I would get to feeling better. Well, I will cross my fingers and wait to see what tomorrow holds...Goodnight all.

| What a day! |
| 05.13.04 (7:43 pm) [edit] |
Schmoopy is down for the count and I am not far behind him. Man what a long day. I got the house clean and the bills paid...Two very important things. Tomorrow morning I have to go to Walmart for groceries and diapers--of course. :lol: I am glad I got somethings done today. I love having a clean house. I just don't know what I will do tomorrow. I have lots of little projects I plan on doing while Aaron is gone...I just don't know which one I will do first. I am kinda in that slump that often follows when Aaron leaves. It never lasts long. I so want to visit all of my linked blogs, but I can hardly keep my eyes open...Tomorrow is another day(Ms. Scarlet would say)

| Going to the mat!! |
| 05.13.04 (7:57 am) [edit] |
I watched 'Going to the Mat' with Andrew Lawrence last night. Man are those Lawrence boys goodlooking or what? Andrew is really growing up to be a cutie!! I am a sucker for those heartfelt family movies that show on the family channel. They always make me feel warm and fuzzy inside. I will tell you, this movie was no different. I have that warm, thankful for my life, the sun is shinning feeling--which is much needed after everything that has happened yesterday and today. I really don't want to get into it... I have to get myself motivated to do something. Later!!

I have put my little man to bed. He is sleeping soundly. Another day has come to an end and I am missing Aaron more than ever. (choking back the tears) This house gets so lonely when he is gone and I hate to go to bed...to sleep with out him beside me. (tears flowing now) I try to be stong for him and my son...put on a happy face and continue on with life. This is his job, an able body seaman. You think I would get used to it. He has been leaving for 60 days every 6 weeks for the last 4 years...but I miss him so! He is the love of my life, my best friend. Something inside me is missing when he is gone. We had a rough go of things this time. I hate it when we fight...our time is so short! It is time I will never get back. Oh how my heart hurts! I try not to fall into depression when he leaves, but it is difficult. I have lots of people around me that love me and support me. They make things easier to bare...
Tomorrow is another day. Farewell my love...May fair winds and following seas be with you!!

:( :( :( :( :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :( :( :( :(
I took Aaron to the airport this morning proptly at 5am. He is now in Beaumont Texas, aboard a tanker-- waiting to sail to Fort Lauderdale tomorrow evening. He called me earlier to let me know that he had arrived. I already miss him so much. I hate to have him leave and I know that it was difficult for him this time. Hoot is 6 months now and he will change so much in the next 60 days...the length of time Aaron will be gone. He told me he loved me very much last night and it really touched me. He has said it many times before-- it just seemed as though he meant it-- especially since we have dealt with alot of the issues when he was home. He can so easily touch my heart!
I spent the day with Dianne, my sister-in-law, and we had a good day. I talked her into painting her dinning room table and chairs BLACK. She began this project yesterday evening and continued today. She has a few more coats to put on the top of the table. It looks gorgeous. I can't wait to see it in her dinning room when she gets it back together. She treated me to mexican food this evening and I am stuffed...it was good food. I made sure to enjoy it as I will be starting my diet soon, trying to loose the 40 extra baby pounds I gained when I was pregnant with Hoot. I will give you more details as I get started...that way you can follow my progress with me!
My show is starting in 7 minutes so...adios amigos!! NCIS is awesome!!

| What a day!! |
| 05.09.04 (8:00 pm) [edit] |
Happy Mother's Day to all you mothers!!
Today was my first mother's day and my husband did everything possible to make it the best. He got up early and cooked me blueberry pancakes and sausage links. Then, he gave me my present, Jasc Paint Shop Pro 8. It is just what I wanted and with Aaron leaving soon I will have plenty of time to read the 420 page Users guide/manual and play with the program. I will post my creations once I learn how PSP works...so, be on the look out. Back to my day-- Aaron tried to take Hoot and I for a boat ride. We took a short one, but the motor started acting up so we weren't out long. Hoot greatly enjoyed the short time that we were on the water. I think it wore him out too because he took a long nap while we were at dinner. I have been craving Crab legs for a long time, so we went to Red Lobster! Aaron says that it isn't real seafood, but I like it and it was sweet of him to sacrifice for me...He had blue crab claws, fried jumbo shrimp, crab legs, salad and cheese biscuits, baked potatoe, 2 beers, keylime pie, and coffee...What a sacrifice!!
Dinner was good and he has bent over backwards trying to make today a good day for me. I have such a loving man. We have been dealing with some issues lately, but what marriage doesn't, right? I know we will get it worked out. We both have somethings to work on while he is at work...I personally have alot of soul searching to do. I plan on taking alot of alone time (me and Hoot). I have things I need to work out inside. So, I am going to appologize ahead of time if I am distant and reclusive...I don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings. I just need this. I haven't had anytime alone since before Hoot was born (going on 8 months) and I am used to have alot of alone time, especially when Aaron was at work... 60 to 75 days, every 45 days .
Well, I am off to bed. Happy Mother's day Mommies!!

| Dying my hair again!! |
| 05.07.04 (11:31 am) [edit] |
(Setting the sceen)
A few weeks ago I decided to lighten my hair in honor of spring. It was a beautiful light brown...that is until I went for a ride on the boat and the sun bleached it blond.
(The plot)
As my hair grew out... the roots were dark brown and the rest of my hair was blond...I needed to either touch up the roots or dye it back brown. I decided to go back to my natural color because I didn't want the headache of touching up the roots every couple of weeks. So, on wednesday, while Aaron was fishing I dyed it back to a dark brown. It was a little too dark, but I knew it would eventually lighten up, as hair dyes tend to do.
(The plot thickens)
The next morning, Aaron says to me "What the hell did you do to your hair?" I told him that it would eventually lighten up. He tells me that he liked it the other way.
(Side bar)
Aaron has never told me that he liked my hair this way or that way. I have asked his opinion several times and his response is always "What ever you want to do dear." I have appreciated the creative freedom, but like any wife I want to look good for him.
(Climax)
Yesterday, while Aaron and Hoot were out shopping I got out the bleach and proceeded to change my hair back for my husband :D In the midst of the process I run out of bleach...So, with a ball cap on, I run up to Sally's Beauty supply to buy more bleach, only to come home and find Aaron there. We both laugh at what my hair looks like.
(Conclusion)
I continued bleaching my hair and put a 'light golden brown' color on my hair. It isn't 'light golden brown' or me...it looks more copper, but I think it is nice and I am sure the next time I work out in the yard, or hit the beach...it will be blonde again!! And next time, I will just touch up the roots. :wink:
