a look ahead

Well here is a look ahead. Right below is the long view, if you scroll down you can just get a over view of my dates. Hope its not to scattered for you to read, my mind just wonders off onto a bunch of different subjects when I write most the time.

Dada starts school again Monday. I'm not to sure when this semester ends I think it ends in 2 months I'm not to sure tho. But then he has one class left and he will graduate in August, right before Sammy turns 3.

Dada also turned 20 march 30Th. For some reason it hit us both kind of like "whoa". Now its like ah OK so what 20 no big deal. But now I'm freaking out, but I'll post about that some other time.

Also within the next month I'm going to start on a few projects that have been driving me almost-insane. Like trying to loose 30 pound before my birthday and having out house cluttered and organized before November. And buying on of the books on my list and reading it threw.

Also a bit further in 2009, to be exact June 6Th 2009 will be our 2 year anniversary. So if anyone has any ideas for some thing romantic to do please let us no. We are not very romantic,so we need the ideas. ha ha.

Whats been going on?

Well the last few weeks my DH has been out of class and home with us, YAY! We have been spending some time playing wow(world of warcraft) and building a computer for my mom, updating his and putting a old one in a new box,going to the beach, and a few other things.When we went to the beach this weekend we had no camera, it broke somehow so we have to wait for thte movies Poppop took. It was nice a bit chilly with the wind but nice. Little Sam had fun playing in the sand and taking the truck out on the 'bump bump ride' (driveing out on the beach.) He rode home with his N&P and they stoped to feed the birds. Sammy figured out if he ran up to them and screamed 'ROAR' they would flyaway scared,he had so mcuh fun doing that.Hes talking in bigger sentences about 5 words and he can carryon a pretty good conversation useing them.

We found out that big Sam has only one class to take summer semester, then he should graduate early August (right around when sammy turns 3.)

OH YES and our 2nd pet (mr.bird , yup a bird,another pet my mom brought over) died. Did little sam cry? did he worrie? did he understand? no,no,maybe? He tells us to 'kill bug' 'bug dead' bug died' (ants and spiders) but now a bird.His pet bird did he just not understand or is he just fine with death of animals? When his nana mentiond " you have a birdy at home, im gonaa have to come over and see him sometime" little Sam blurted out ' no no bird dead bird died hes all gone gone' hmmmm luckly they where in a truck with the windows up driveing down the road so no one heard him.

Their is more but I'll be adding them latter, as I find them.

Children are great imitators. So give them something great to imitate

I again was on zen-habits, stumbled upon this article, witch led me to this website. I haven't read the website much yet but on zen habits it talks about teaching our children compassion, And how we discipline our children is not showing them compassion. They compare this to if a friend is crying/upset/angered we wouldn't go to them and put them in timeout or discipline them in other ways, we would show them compassion and hug them,try to calm them down, but mostly talk to them. And when our little loved ones throw there tantrums they are often upset about something and usually don't have a way of telling that to you, so they have a tantrum,we punish them and they do not learn compassion. If we showed them compassion and gave them the words they were looking for they would learn compassion and how to use there words over violence. But anyway read the post check out the web site, and let me know how you think of this way of parenting.

Things to do

Well this year so far is the same as any other. We all get a cold, and slowly get over it. We all just have a snotty nose now. We even got N&P sick. I didn't finish my community service nor have I even called to tell them anything. Wow I wonder what they are gonna say, oh I wonder what I'm gonna even tell them. Oh well I'll figure something out.as usual. Tomorrow is the beginning of a new week. There is a few things I read over the weekend like this website here I stumbled upon. And also a guy named Dan Ho( have to Google him I can't find no real web page about him) But anyways he has 2 books out: Rescue from House Gorgeous. And also Rescue from Domestic Perfection:the no so secrets of balancing life and style. I want them both, maybe Swap Tree has them. Also on my list of things to read is The Skinny Bitch and Apartment-Therapy-Eight-Step-Home-Cure.....Yup that's my list. But anyway back to my post. Tomorrow Dada is gone all day again, Has to make-up 'snow days' ha ha. But he does have all day Thursday off till his night class and then Friday is ours, maybe I can convince him of date night. But this week I really want to clean out out utility closet (its like out attic on ground level.With a washer.) Hopefully we all will get over our colds. Get our pictures developed( and organized and dated ha ha. ) And maybe Monday will start out right. But I'm not gonna get my hopes up.

Well, Well

Sam started class again today, 7 classes. At lest its not the 8 he was going to take. They canceled the class because there was not enough students( just one, Sam) So me and Bug-Man have been hanging out today. We accomplished a few things like cleaning mommy and daddy's closet, picking up all of his toys in his room and putting them back into the right cubby. Hopefully tomorrow we can continue on our cleaning journey and have the house done by the end of next week.I say next week because some days he dosnt feel like helping mommy and insists to have me spend every minute possible playing with him( yup no pee time for me. ) Ive been takeing pictures of my handsom guy almost every day since I started blogging.I'm hoping I can keep it up all year,both the blog and picture takeing. Theres no really big exiting new around here lately. Little sammy learned how to peel a orange tho. He loves thems. Hes trying to figure out how to ride a bike, and Leaning his number 7-10.he has a good hand on 1-6 and pretty soon were going to be throwing some more abc's in there to. Hopefully it wont confuse him. Me and Dada saw this your baby can read program, were debating on if we should get it or if its a scam. If we get it, and it doesent work, it would be a waste of money. But if we dont get it fine out later on it works, theres one opportunity that he could have had. So we are debaiting.

just talk, house talk

Well its the beginning of a new year,a new month, and well for my husband, a new college semester. Hes was talking about taking 8 classes this semester that way next semester he would only have 2 then he'd graduate. But I don't know, I don't know. I will fine out this afternoon when he comes home from registration. January is probably going to be a calm month around here for me and the bug man, maybe not for Dada but for us yes.Hopefully January will be a great month. Maybe I can organize our back closet and utility closet this month, maybe. Maybe something completely unexpected will happen. who knows.

I found 2 rolls of fill the other day, nothing is on them and then i found my old camera, had a use roll in it. I'm hopeing to finish off both rolls my the end of this month and post up some more pictures. And talking about pictures im trying to organize my photo collection, Any Tips???? I never thought about geting the date put on all my photos so only half of them are dated, the other half I dident even date. and the majoraty of them are in a scrambled mess, its disaterious, if thats even a word, if not thats better. so if you ask me if theres one thing id change yes, id go back and date all my pictures,date every memorie, and mark every photo befor I even thought of trying to put them into albums. so my picture colection from birth to 2 years is in a mummble-jumble but im working on it, thats a nother jauary project.

About a week ago someone asked me if our apartment was big enough, I said yes cuz it is big enough,if we had less stuff, the next day my father in law comes by with all of our stuff from the shed i had put in his truck befor new years. Now i know he was bringing it over, i dident know i had put that much in the truck tho. so yup this month also is trask month im selling things on craigslist and donateing everything i can get rid of in the next week. for thte rest of it, im trashing it. yup everything I can possible get away with is gone by febuary. I cant stand haveing all this...sh*t.....both me and my husband have a hard time throwing things out...oh ok really its just him, i have a hard time throwing his things out cuz then a week later hed be like wheres the peice of papper that was next to thte bed that had such and such on it....looked like trash,sorry dear.....and all the computer wires,and cables and other wires and cds and papers and i dunno we just have to much stuff and no where to contain it in a presentilbe matter.

Our living room/dining room combination is fine, that rooms not messy at all, no there is the toys and the occasonal pile of clothes on our table we never eat at anymore. but no its not messy out furniture is a little miss-matched and strange but we have somewhere to sit with our oversized older than history TV. but hey we do have furniture and that room stays presentable, just give me 5 minutes. our kitchen well, its a kitchen. functions like a kitchen looks like a kitchen , and like most kitchens lacks counter space. there age some good things about our kitchen tho, it has a panty, yes one with a door, and our water filter, got my husband off the bottle, and where helping the enviroment.yup our kitchen is plain. it has the basics sink microwave stove and fridge...then it has our specials, my gorge foreman, and dont need to hold can opener and crystal light iced tea. Then theres our room, its not bad just his side of the bed and our over floweing with junk/storage boxes/ paper..... closet. the bath room and halway and linnen closet our fine...bugs room is fine to he just has a lot of toys. so i guess its only 3 places in our place that i wish would grow, move out or disapier. our closet utility closet and our storage closet....wow so many closets.


well i think my ranting and talking and typeing should move along, I have somethings to get done and a place to go. have a good week , im sure ill be back just keep checking in ya never know
