It's New Years Eve

I had made reservations for Seven Sushi Steakhouse. I was pretty pumped about having a good time w/ Bob, but we had horrible service there. I think the waiter totally forgot about us. All he did was take our order, period. Kinda of depressing b/c the bus boy basically took care of us. I tried to not let it ruin our dinner. Bob was a little pissed but I kept on a smile to keep him from being mad. Oh well- never again. Next time, it'll be Mortan's- his favorite.

I told Emmy I'd let her open 1 present at midnight. Hehehe...we'll see what her daddy says. I'm excited to see what everyone got me. There's so much I always want...sometimes I forget that what I really want deep inside is already here- my family. I must say, I have the best family ever- my side and my husband's side. God is good. He put me in good care. If i rewind myself to 7 years prior, I remember asking myself if marrying Bobby was the right thing to do; whether Bobby was the one for me; whether I should listen to my heart or to my head.....I'm glad I picked the path I did- of all men, I know Bob is the one who can put up with my junk. Hehehe....

This year I was pregnant for most of the time- next year, i'm ready to rock n roll and get my life rolling. I'm ready to dedicate myself to work and buying my family a house.

MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Been Busy

being a mom of 2. baby slept with us for almost 3 weeks and it's made me a zombie- but i'm surviving. mom took baby for the night so i'm super pumped i get to sleep all night peacefully like a big baby.
my back hurts- had a long weekend of shopping. got almost all xmas shopping done except for father in law and johnny.
bob and emmy are enjoying their miso soups upstairs while i chillax, painted my nails, and browse the net. thank God for my mil. what would i do w/out her.
early doc appointment tomorrow so goodnight.

thanksgiving is offically over

on to december in a few days. my son is now 1 month old and growing continously. he's been quite fussy and hasn't been able to poop so i swapped him to enfanmil. hopefully the change w/ wic won't be so difficult.
the family was here for a long weekend. we had a blast doing black friday shopping together. kor and my mom outlast everyone. i got everything i wanted on my list and got some xmas shopping done. i was completely overwhelmed by the shopping and sleepless nights w/ my son. mom has been sick so thomas has been sleeping with us for the past week.
it's an ugly day out. raining and gloomy. cyber monday today. would love to get more goodies but we've done wasted enough money on the party and shopping.
bob says he's going to join a gym. let's see if he really goes through w/ it. maybe i'll help get some info for him. we need to both get in shape.
the presents are wrapped and out in the living room. hoping to get the xmas tree out by this coming weekend.

Stocking Up On Cans

Making make-up cup holders for my sisters. Fixed up a few for myself. Being home is boring, besides caring for my kiddies- I need to craft myself up with projects again. Love it! Hitting up Joann's for Black Friday. Whoever's going w/ me is going to hate me. Shopping till I drop this time around-

Made Stockings for Thomas, Emmy, Bob, and Myself. Excited to hang them up after thanksgiving. I've been working on xmas gifts. Trying to get my family's gifts done so they can bring them home w/ them next week. Oh- Nail art has been my new thing. Check out my nail photo profile on FB. I'm going to work on another design tonight.

Thanksgiving is next week

wow...i can't believe next week is already thanksgiving. bob and i went and picked our food selection from New King Buffet. Gen. Tso Chicken and Chicken/Shrimp Stir Fry. Gotta do the lab order and prep the rest of the stuff later this weekend. The whole sha-bam fam will be in town.; I'm so excited to see everyone...but i must admit, i think i'm more excited to do Black Friday shopping. I know, i'm bad. LOL...tommorrow Austin turns 13...can't believe it. Love that rotten booger. He's annoying as heck, yet i so cannot live w/out him.
thomas is getting big. i'm sure he's about 9lbs now. grandma and grandpa got him a gold necklace. we'll probably pick up a cross for him later this year or so. man i want some good ass food. i'm so tired of the chicken diet. i'm down 30lbs...thank goodness! i wish to lose more after the month is up. bob and i are due for a gym membership.
bob's home tonight. later i think we're gonna hit up walmart for more xmas shopping. emmy's such a good helper. she can now help feed my thomas while i quickly grab things or do something. so proud of her. -k peace!

Blushing Cherry Blossum

kills my husband- he hates the fragrance up the butt- literly left the room in disgust. hehehe...it's not that bad, it smells pretty good.

Winter Wonderland

Woke up to a white winter this morning. Got my Emmy up and dressed for school. After picking her up from school, I bathed my Thomas and chillaxed w/ him all day. The family left to Uncle Bee's for Bran's bday. Couldn't go so I was stuck at home. I found a website that posted all of Black Friday's sales. I already got down what I want from Target. That's $100 right there. I'm getting a Tomtom and a few xmas gifts from there. I'm thinking of hitting up JC too...we'll see. Probably Walmart for sure too....and we'll see what the beauty stores have. EXCITED TO THE MAX....Sisters!!! get ready to shop till you drop.

Below are photos from the day. Bob geared Emmy all up to play in the snow. The flakes were huge. I ran out to take a few photos w/ them then came back to snuggle w/ my boy. Took some photos of him too. Enjoy. Happy Weekend!

2 Cavities for Whemmy

She gets her 1st one taken care tomorrow. Yikes! I hope she does well at her appointment.

Sleepless nights

so drained out- my Thomas is a Night Owl...Little Rugrat. I've been starving up the butt b/c i have no motivation to eat that chicken diet stuff anymore. It's only been 1 week too. Damn- I'm already back to my pre-pregnancy weight. Good, but bad too b/c my tummy hurts everyday, I have lack of energy, headaches, diarrhea, and fevers. Got my Emmy a new Tea pot set. She loves it b/c it's just like mom's. Enjoy new photos of Thomas.

Appointments

appointments, appointments...over and over again. tired of it. We haven't been able to sleep in b/c of them damn appointments.....
I started pumping and it's been very successful- I'm proud of myself. I just found out that my Thomas is qualified on WIC for a whole year so formula is nothing to worry about now, however, I'd like to continue pumping. The milk is so much healthier. It helps me lose weight- thus, what could be better than that? I only plan on doing it for 1 month though. Whatever I get out of that is what my baby will get. Better than nothing right?
Watched the movie, "Killers"- was a great flick. Soothed myself with a warm warm bath. Took my Lax and ready for bed. Super happy grandma is more than willing to sleep w/ Thomas through-out the night. Recovery is an itch though-

Being a Mother of 2

Goly- it's been quite some work. I forgot how much work it is when you have an infant around. Today Thomas had a doctor appointment at 10 and we were up at 8:30 and were still running late. I totally forgot about packing up the diaper bag, the formula, the stroller, etc....Bob and I were hassling just to get there on time. Oh and this morning my Emmy Whemmy woke up and said her tummy hurt. It hit me that I didn't even get the chance to feed her last night. I felt so bad. Once she realized that I didn't feed her, she started to cry and said we didn't feed her. Bad Mommy! Bad Daddy! Hehehe..it's just been hard b/c my bottom still needs to heal, I'm attending to Thomas's needs, etc.... It's hard for me to get around and Bob's busy attending to Thomas as well. So after we got back from the appointment, I made her a bowl of noodles and feed her some skin and rich w/ squash.
The room needs to be cleaned. I've requested Bobby to stay home for the rest of the week as I will need his help while I heal. Tomorrow we've got an appointment w/ WIC. Breast milk is finally starting to flow in. Thomas does get a little frustrated b/c he can't get as much milk as he does from the bottle, but I'm still proud of myself that he's getting some of my breast milk as it's the BEST and most healthy milk he could get. So far so good-
Mom and Dad are planning on coming to see baby next weekend. Their excited to see their first grandson. This weekend, we plan on baptizing Thomas. The sooner the better. I don't even want to think about work. I had a dream about work last night. Ekk.

Thomas Hwjchim Vang

ARRIVES! I had contractions starting at 3am on Saturday, Oct 23rd. I thought it may have just been another false alarm but they got more and more intense and came on a regular basis so we went in at 6:30am. Got everything going and had him at 1:08pm. He's wonderful. We're already home. Lucky enough- we didn't have to spend 2 nights at the hospital. Baby is sleeping w/ grandma tonight so B and I get to rest in. Really happy w/ my little family.

Dreams

I've dreamt of my Thomas twice already. The first one, he was already as chunky as Byder. The second dream, he was so cute and round and already fit 6months clothes.

Emmy's 1st Full Prayer-

Emmy: Dear God,
Thank you for the food. Be with me, be with Thomas, my mom and my dad. Thank you for the food. Give me food. Bless food. Amen



SO CUTE! I LOVE MY PRINCESS- OH BTW, WE GOT "PERSONALIZE YOUR OWN MUGS". SHE DECORATED HERS AND I DECORATED THOMAS'S. SUPER CUTE!

Meet Thomas

1 week waiting period-

Giving my little guy till next Wednesday to come out on his own. If he doesn't, an induction appointment is set for him to come out on the 27th. I'm really hoping he'll come out before hand. My back hurts like crazy. There's a muscle that's being pulled from my lower back to my knees and it's killing me. On the other note, I can't believe I'm only 5cms dilated.

Seeing Raines tomorrow

I wonder what's going to happen tommorrow. I'm kind of nervous- but I can't take any more of this pregnancy. My back aches, my thighs are so sore from my belly sitting on it, my knees feel weak. Fatness all over the house. I hope baby's not a 8-9 pounder!

Fall Photos

Woke Up to Cramping

this early morning. Took a shower and came back to bed. Woke up and still cramping at every 2-3 minutes but now it's lagging out to every 15 minutes. Tired of playing these games.
Whemmy sleeps like a BULL- I told her that this morning and she smiled. She attacks and comes real close. She even grinds her teeth.
Sipping on a cup of peach tea and listening to soothing music-

Friday & still no Thomas

Woke up from a bad dream to Bob snuggling next to me. It was horrible. It was so real and painful that I cried afterwards. Weirdo-me but maybe my hormones are getting to me too. Hehehe...So the dream went like this- My FIL and I were standing on high thin ladders. We were talking and I was asking him things about his workplace. After finishing up the conversation, I told him I was going back down but when I stepped down, I slipped and fell down. (it was so weird b/c i could see myself falling down) I was up really high so the fall was forever and my body splashed right into a pool full of water. I remember thinking to myself, "This is it, my life is over". Right after thinking that, I opened my eyes and I could see my FIL and Bobby screaming. Bobby jumped in after me and for some odd reason, he maneuvered his way around my body and I landed on him. Next thing I knew, I opened my eyes and I was on him. His head was bleeding all over and I was trying to stop the blood from coming. I ran to get a towel to whip his blood and KABOOM- HE WOKE ME UP IN REAL LIFE. Doesn't sound so bad but damn, in the fucken dream, it was painful to see him in that state of mind. I was so upset he jumped in after me. Anyway- it was just a dream, just a stupid dream.

Was up at 7:30am to sob my ass off and blow my nose. LOL...We were up and out of the house to get water, drive pass that home we were interested in, and do some shopping at Target. Oh and get this, cops were all over our neighbor's house. Apparently, someone broke into his house and stole everything. Weird b/c we didn't see a thing today. If anything, it was probably done late last night- Who knows.

4cm today

Yet no contractions- bored out of my mind at home. I can't really go anywhere b/c it's kind of risky to get out on my own as well. As soon as baby comes, I'm ready to start hunting. I must say, I LOVE SLEEPING IN. Nothing beats that.

2nd weekend of school for Emmy

Today wasn't as bad waking up like as weekend. She was up, happy, and ready for school. Anxious as ever. Found out her teachers names- Megan and Abby. Hehehe...The fam has been in Milwaukee for David's wedding. The house has been offly quiet w/out the rest of the family. I have no clue as to where I'm standing right now w/ the dilationg. OMG- I had a dream of going back to work at Wells Home Mortgage. It was a nightmare!

Bob's out trying to get the grill going so I can get started on Lunch. Moon is shinning offly bright today while he's out. I don't know what's up w/ that, but damn the past 2 years or so, the moon has been shining.

It's been warm the past 2 days. I'm hoping to get out and about today. Need to do more walking to help me dilate. I'm anxious but I don't think Thomas is completely ready yet to come out.

3cm Dilated

very excited. I'm thinking my boy will be here by this weekend.

VOTE EMMY!

GAP CASTING CALL-

1st day of Preschool Boost

Emmy had her first day on Saturday. The whole waking up part was hard for her...lol, in fact, it was a struggle for me to wake up. I don't blame her b/c we were at Uncles house all night. However as soon as she was dressed and ready- she was happy. She put on her backpack and was anxious. We got there about 5 mins early, got her name tag, and found her spot on the rug, took a few pictures, and kissed her goodbye. She makes my heart melt. I don't think anything makes me happier in life than my daughter.
She did well. The learned the letter T and L, played w/ play dough, and had reading time.
V's hu plig went well. Everyone left by 4-5pm. I'm glad everything was done on time and not Hmong time. The dishes were a good turnout. Next weekend is the wedding- I really want to go b/c then I'll also get to see my family but it's too risky. We'll see what the Doc says on Wednesday.
38 weeks down, 2 weeks to go! Cannot wait b/c my back is killing me daily.
Macys had a great bra sale. Buy 2, get 2 free! Got my deal, plus 20%. Awesomeness. Also got my new MAC Lipstick= amplified is the best- not too matte, not too creamy, just perfection. Debating on church later at noon. Emmy left w/ her Grandma to hit up sunday school. I just feel like lounging today....
The house is quite, the wind is cool, my mind is at peace. God is good!

My Mini Me-

Another Dr. Visit

Hoping that Doc will say I am dilated a little bit. Let's hope!

Car Seat

is out, cleaned, and ready for Thomas!

Sunday Sunday

Church as usual today. Sunday school started up last week. Emmy's always excited for Sunday with her teacher Barb. After church, we grabbed some Taco's and enjoyed some time at the school's play yard w/ my Emmy. The rest of the afternoon to late evening was spent at Lia's place for some yummy barbequed brats and steak. Lia turned 32~ The cousins confirmed our usual Halloween party for this year at our place. Theme is Villians vs. Heros. Im a Villian this year. WE'll see if I even dress up this year.
It's late and Bob and I are still up. I swear our late late nights end up in late late mornings. Hahaha...oh vell!
Tommorrow is another day. I plan on getting myself on MA to get some extra coverage for that extra 10% that BCBS doesn't cover. If i get in, that means I automatically qualify for WIC. I hope that's the case. HOPE HOPE HOPE! My breast pump should be on it's way sometime this or next month as well. So glad everything always falls in to place. Thanks to God- everything is always possible! How do people live w/out God? I wonder....cus I know for sure I can't.
I cleaned out Emmy's clothes. Storing all her summer shorts and dresses away for next summer. I rearranged all her clothes upstairs and downstairs. I still have yet to get Bob to get that damn carseat down. Tommorrow! My hosptial bag is offically packed now.
Emmy is sound asleep. Gotta make myself go to bed soon too.

Clean Up Day Again....

I can't get enough of cleaning the shit outta everything. I reorganized and cleaned up my dresser and everything behind it. I cleaned up the desk. I feel so much better after the room looks neat and clean. Saw my Dr. today and baby is in position with head down first. I know it sounds funny, but I'm excited for the contractions to come so I can get this labor done with.
I pulled together a gift for Chia for Xmas. I got rid of alot of stuff I never used that just sat around. I'm really excited for the holidays this year as Thomas will join us. Really wish I could spend xmas with my family in Two Rivers. We'll have to see once the time comes near. Oh and I pulled out my Xmas cards for this year. Once Thomas comes, we'll have to take family pictures.
Emmy is on letter "E". She's coming along really good. She forgets the "A" all the time. I hope they'll teach her abc's at preschool boost.

I love Emmy!

Emmy puts a tape in the middle of her forehead and says, "Mommy, look I'm India." Little punk, I didn't know she knew that India people do that. So cute!

I had one of the most relaxing Sundays ever. We went to church- Emmy started her first day of Sunday School. She got to pick out a free movie and she picked out, Jojo's Circus- "Take a Bow". It's so cute b/c Jojo's so like her. Silly goose! After church, we went out for lunch at Fridays, came home and cleaned up the room, did the laundry, and cleaned up the desk a little. It was about 6pm when we decided to take Emmy to the park. However we ended up doing some fishing by the fishing pier off of 169 by the Champlin area. I love it. The weather's amazing. The duckies were out swimming around yet....this for sure, will not last for long. I love fall. I absolutely love it!

Boring day in the neighborhood

What to do...what to do...I'm getting sleepy- Emmer's out taking a nap and so should I. Actually, I need to pack my hospital bag. I'll do that in a bit. Sent the girls their bday gifts today. Talked to Gerk and she says she wants to be here after baby is born. Hope so b/c I'll need all the help I can get. Little sisters = HELP BIG TIME!

Man there must be a dog war today. Dogs barking like whoa! Lose dogs in the neighborhood- neighbors running w/ dogs everywhere.

Oh Bob got a speeding ticket. That sucks butt! I'm making him go see a judge so they'll at least cut it in half or take it off his record.

Ordering too much online

This is the first time of my life I've actually ordered multiple things online. I usually don't past the submit part b/c I hate shipping but lately- I've order stuff. Hehehe....I got my CS Palette, my photos, my awesome deals from The Limited, and now a jacket with a few other things from Target. Can't wait for the rest of the stuff to come in. I'm in love with my CS Palette. Very well worth the money-

I ran out today and got some cheap gifts for the girls. I can't believe how old they are now. Hehehe...Love my sisters! On the way- I grabbed mil 4 new shirts to wear around the house. I couldn't resist it b/c they were only $2 a piece. Couldn't miss out on it.

Emmy and I are on the letter "D", like Thai Dee- Hehehe...that girl, she does not have the motivation to learn at all! I get frustrated with her sometimes....but so far, so good. She's doing a good job. We're coming to mid month of September already. She starts school Oct 2nd. I'm super excited to see how that goes for her. Ready to meet the teacher and new friends- exciting!

Working on Photos

Got in my photos I ordered. I put together a family frame of Bob, Emmy, and Me. It's super cute. Soon enough after Thomas is here, we can take family photos and add him to the wall. My next project is to make slideshows of all my photos in my computer. I don't have room to print these photos and store them in booklets anymore and they're taking up my computer space!

Finally got Neha and Dankat's discs burned to be sent out tomorrow. Emmy finally can pin point what is A, B, and C. She also knows O, S, and Q. I'm proud of her. We got her some new flash cards and a erase away laminated abc learning sheet. She studied some more before I told her it was bedtime. She peeled 2 oranges for us to eat, used the bathroom, and is now dreaming away. I love my baby! She can be such a bad girl around everyone, but around me, she's the best little girl ever.

Early this morning, us 3 went out to Burlington Coat Factory to see if we could find me a jacket for winter- no luck. Fat as heck! Watever! Oh and we saw a later with the longest nails ever in my fuckin life. Her nails were as long as half of her freaking arm. YES, YOU READ RIGHT! Freaked Bobby, Emmy, Me, customers, and the cash register lady out. Nasty- made me lose my appetite. My guess is that she's going for the world genus record thing. Emmy picked out an outfit for Thomas to get baptized in. She picked well. It's a cute preemie khaki dress pants, blue dress shirt, with a white striped vest. Afterwards, we hit up CP to play. Daddy and Emmy went down the big slide twice. I'm hoping to get up early again tomorrow. Let's hope so peace out!

Maximum boredum

What to do what to do. I didn't enjoy going to work everyday but now that I'm a bumb at home- I miss work, in particular the paychecks. I've decided I'm going to take Emmy to the public library kid events. Today we started on her ABC's. She was able to write A a, B b, and C c. I'm so proud of her! Big girl with big brains.

It's late. I should make myself go to bed but I've been so use to these late nights, late mornings. I've been putting Emmy to sleep around 10pm so she's out now. Early this morning she crawled close to me and said, "Mommy, I miss you". It was so cute! I woke up to snuggle next to her. I love my baby- Emmy will always be my baby-regardless.

I watched Mannequin 1 & 2 yesterday. Good movies- Old, but good. I got my last 11hour paycheck today. So sad- oh well. OH and get this, got me some nice earrings from Limited for $2 each- I'm a professional!

I've been thinking about a getaway for my hubby and I. Just the two of us. I think we deserve it and need it. Maybe after Thomas comes, we'll try and spare some time to escape this hard headed life. Soon enough, it'll be 2011. DAMN! This year has flown by. Soon I'll be what, 27? I can't remember my age. I know, it's pathetic, but i lost count after i turned 21. LOL! Night!

Late Saturday

Watched Wicked today at the Orpheum Theatre. They did a great job...I just had a hard time sitting through the first half b/c my belly is hugmongo! Came home and took the kiddies to the park. It got chilly fast so we headed home after an hour or so. The evening was spent at Byder's house. He was more active than usual. I think it was his house so he was showing it off to me and Emmy. LOL...i love byder- he's the best baby in the world. On our way home we stopped at Walmart. Was there till midnight- got home, ate some noodles. Bob's out cold and Emmy is enjoying her new Barbie movie. Did some online window shopping at Bath and Body Works. I hate shipping and handling fees. I love putting things in my bag but when i get to the payment section, i always end up canceling it. Cramping a little tonight. Gotta head the sheets. Got church tommorrow.

Shopping Mode-

Got myself some plastic bins for my shoes. I only grabbed 6 but I'm in need of at least 4 more. Maybe later this week. I pulled out all of Thomas's bottles and bottle scrubbers to put upstairs. I need to get my hospital bag packed soon. Maybe tomorrow I'll work on that. I've got my scarfs all bundled up and ready for fall.

Oh I finally ordered the 26 shadow/blush combo palette from Coastal Scents. I'm super duper excited to get it. I hope to get it no later than the end of next weekend. I promise myself NO MORE MAKEUP FOR THE REST OF THE YEAR!!!! I also placed an order on all the recent photos. Excited to see those come in as well.

Emmy spent a few hours out with Johnny and Christian. She came back home excited b/c she got some new gadgets to entertain herself. The weather has been awesome. Everyone around me has been complaining about it but I LOVE IT. We'll see if Thomas comes in time for Halloween. I went out to Lia's last night to do the laundry b/c our washer died. Our new one comes in Saturday. I'll have to wash up the rest of Thomas's clothes before he comes. He was kicking alot earlier- he must of enjoyed what I ate.


Emmy: Mom, I'm a big girl now. You can take my diapers and take them back to Target. I don't want to wear it anymore. I just keep growing.

Me: Well honey, you keep peeing at night so you need to wear diapers until you can get up and use the bathroom. You need to learn okay?

Emmy: You need to learn too Mom because you still wear diapers too.

Me: (omg- laughing my butt off) Mommy wears those for something else. When you grow up I'll teach you about it but no, Mommy does not pee in her pants anymore.

Emmy: Yeah you do, you need to learn Mommy.

Fall in the Wind

It's been a while since I've updated. Alot has been going on. My ligament pain isn't bothering me anymore so I've been feeling alot better these days. The Vang family was in town all weekend long so I was busy being a host showing everyone around town. The ceremony went well and all the cousins stayed to dance the night away until clean-up. I'm so thankful my ligament issues went away otherwise it would have been just agony and pain through-out the entire weekend.

Gosh- it feels sooo good to be home. Sleeping in does a body good. The weather has been nice and cool. I LOVE IT. Fall is my favorite season esp b/c I get to wear sweaters, sweats, boots, and be cozy. The colors of fall brings me smiles.

I can't believe September is here, which means Thomas will be here very soon. I'm so excited to see him. Cannot wait for him to come. We'll see if he waits till October to join us. My Emmy has been very anxious for Thomas. She talks about him as though he's here w/ us already. I've been so excited for Thomas's coming that I forget that my Emmy won't be the only child anymore. Linda reminded me to spend every moment I have left with her b/c when Thomas gets here- my Emmy won't have the same attention and focus like the old days. It's been us 3 for a long time so having my boy join us will complete some of the missing pieces in our life. Can't wait!

I see my doc in a little bit. Gotta run to Lia's to do some laundry later too- our washer died. Heheh...k - Emmy wants to play barbie so peace out blogers-

Past days

has been really hard. I've had a lot of pain, left work thinking I was in labor...etc....turns out what I'm struggling through is called Round Ligament Pain. I've been in pain for the past 2 days. I don't know how much longer I can handle this. Can pregnancy get this worst. OMG! Oh and to top that- i'm on bedrest. No work, no money.

Summer Flies

I can't believe August is coming to an end brining us September. I must say September and October is my favorite season b/c I love the colors of Fall and the weather is beyond perfect for me. I love being in sweats and sweaters and being cozy. Thomas is getting bigger by the moment. He kicks in all sorts of places and does 360's in my tummy all the time. Emmy is becoming very attached to my belly as she sees that it's offically growing. She loves kissing and singing to my belly.

Someone hit my side mirror and took off. Quotes to get it fixed were ranging from $160-$300! Ridiculous! I'm really glad Bob found a website that had the part. He ordered it and got it fixed for only $70. I'm proud of him. Hehehe...he also fixed the breaks. I miss my car. Been riding that small corolla and i hate it. Too tight for me and Thomas.

So work has been going okay. Talked to the big guy today and looks like they'd like me to go back after my leave. I'm happy about it and hope for the better in the next year or so.

My eyes are getting tired. I'd like to get out early tommorrow so I'm going to try and crash. Peace out-

Emmy & Preschool

I got my Emmy registered for Preschool Boost at the center. I'm very excited to see how this goes and how she'll act. It runs for 2 months on Saturday mornings so it'll work out great for our schedule.
This weekend means dress shopping for the ceremony. I hope to find something nice for me and for my big belly. Baby moves alot and I finally experienced how it's like when baby hiccups. Super cute! I'm so ready for him to join my Emmy, Bobby, and I. Everything is ready, including the diaper bag. Next month I'll get the car seat out and ready for him. I hope this labor won't be as bad, but I have a feeling that it might be because baby seems really big for 7 months.
Work has been work. It's boring but I can't complain b/c I enjoy coming home w/out a headache. I'm am still unsure about where things will go after baby but I'm assured my God will take care of me.
Okay- peace out bloggers!

fast weekend

Got outta work early Friday and got my hair cut- nothing big, just a simple trim. My hair got long during this pregnancy. Sat we got Emmys gold necklace fixed, went to the Chapoua, and went to Maplewood Mall. Found nothing good. I've been looking for something to wear for the Ceremony in 3 weeks. Got so much things going on every weekend. Unexpected marriages and more. Babies stuff is officially set. All we need now is to pull out the car seat but we'll install that in the next mouth. Thomas has been moving a lot. Work is going good. My emmy has been a bad girl- and for some odd reason, I've been really attached to my honey....getting late. All the cousins are over. We barbequed for Yaya n Charlie's bday. I'm ready for bed.

Short Workday

Got to come home @ 1:45ish today due to power outage at work. Thank you God~ Just when I needed a shorter work week. Excited for this weekend. I've already got the girls thank-you gifts all wrapped. Austin's here for the week. Hope my check comes in today. =)

The Shower

was great. Not as much friends and family came like the one for my Emmy but it was still nice. We kept it simple and made Tacos and Sweet Salad. Suprisingly I got 2 walkers- so I exchanged one for a high chair. No one goes by registers these days. Heheh so I went in and updated everything that I got. Thomas got some newborn-3 month clothes, shoes, ALOT OF BATH STUFF, tons of hats and gloves, 4 blankies, wipes, and a play mat. I'm very excited for my shower in Two Rivers. I think I'm more excited to see everyone. I miss everyone- especially my Dad..Hehehe..I called him the other day and he didnt' sound too interested in speaking with me. LOL...mom was in NC and he had the house to himself. But anyway- work has been work. I certainly love seeing my paychecks- I'm working on setting $1000 aside for my hospital bills. I've actually been able to buy myself things i like....love it, but hate waking up in the morning. Baby has been really pushing on my bladder. I've had to use the bathroom alot. Sometimes I get sooo much pressure on my lower pelvic area that it feels like I'm ready to go into labor or my water is going to break. I won't be suprise if he came out 2-3 weeks early.
My hunny wants to go to MI. Kevin and Lisa have been sick. I dont' want him to go but at the same time- he really wants to be there. I dont' want him to drive out there alone. We'll see if I can find him a cheap flight. Okay, i'm tired now so peace.

26 Weeks

This pregnancy is flying by like nothing. I can't believe July is almost over! I'm so excited for October to come. Can't wait to see my son. Friday night Bpark & M&I Bank had an awesome family event at Central Park with 1 penny games and a free movie night at the park. I thought it was great and really hope to see more of these type of events.
The job is going okay. I'm super tired everyday- but i'm continously pushing myself for the paychecks. I don't like the disputes at all, but what can I do. I'm tired of getting in and out of jobs w/ in a month. I'm waiting to see where things go after giving birth to Thomas.
Thomas sure kicks alot. I'm sure he wants to come out just as much as we want to see him. Emmy is excited everyday. She's been really naughty though since i've been working. The kids fight everyday...but kids will be kids so what can I say- I tell them they're like cock-fighting chickens.
The weekend is coming to an end. Next weekend brings my shower, which came super fast. I'm excited to see everyone and what Thomas will get. The games are always the best part for me. LOL...
Oh Bob and I tried Osaka today at Riverdale. It was really good. Worth the money! Emmy loves sushi too! She was closing her eyes and saying UMMM while eatting the food. LOVE IT.

enjoying my wknd

Had jimmy johns for lunch, got the Sunday School copies done, and returned the lipstain I got for another revelon product; however I did not like that either. Enough of that stupid lip crap- I'm just gonna stick to MAC. I'm pretty pleased with how long my cream blush helps my blush stays on.

Nothing new

these days. Mom and dad should be in town this weekend for their church convention. Next weekend brings my baby shower. I'm excited. I have a lot of food shopping to do next friday.
It's humid and ucky out- Emmy wanted to go to the store but the weather is so nasty. Mom made a yummy dish this evening. Green beans are my favorite.
Baby is moving non-stop. Maybe I'm giving him too much caffine. Heheh...

So here I am

taking another deep breath! FREAKIN SUCKERS!

It's Sunday

and I'm exhasted. Ready to take a nap! But I hate naps b/c then i can't sleep later. Working on my Thank-you cards. Maybe I'll just do 30 cards. Should be enough- I hope. Oh wait, my other shower. Okay, never mind, I'll just do 50 cards.

Busy Day

in the neighborhood- Bob and I was up early around 8:45ish. Got ready and headed out for some breakfast. Intentionally, we wanted Sushi, but it was still early so I figured Mt. Fuji wouldn't be open so we had Denny's. It's been a while since we had breakfast food. Emmy and Bobby truely enjoyed their meals. I'm still craving Sushi. Maybe tommorrow. After breakfast, we headed over to Susan's for the huplig for Chole. It was really tight doing it at her townhouse- neighbors were annoyed and complained. I would hate that! So w/ all the traffic around town, we found ourselves at MOA. Got Bob some clothes, Emmy a dress, me a bra/pants/ and cheap flipflops for next summer. It was funny b/c before we left mom was complaining about how bobby was dressed. She said, "You're wearing that same shirt again". We laughed. All his shirts looks the same and he hasn't bought clothes for ages so I pushed him to try on some clothes at Old Navy.
We wanted to catch Toy Story 3 but we were pretty worned out from MOA. We just headed home, lounged, and relaxed. Emmy is being bossy. She says she needs the trash right by her bed b/c she has a runny nose. Little booger has such a big attitude. Hoping to start Sunday School tommorrow morning. Have a long day ahead of me so goodnight bloogers! Peace~!

Babyshower

is around the corner. I'm so excited! Tina's got my shower planned for July 24th! Watch out for invites folks- My sisters in WI has my shower scheduled for August 7th. I'm ready for my boy to come out and play with Daddy, Emmy, and Me.

Back to life, back to reality

I wonder how people can lie about things. I've been a bad girl about working at places...ekk it comes back at you. Anyway- my belly is getting bigger. Baby is moving so much. Today I had major heart burns and nothing was helping it. I've got my 6month check up scheduled and will have to work around the stupid hours. Got home to my Emmy watching her Hmong movies. She said, "Mom I want to dance at the beach like them". LOL..oh gezz..it's time for The Bachelorette!

JULY 4th

Chee & Austin is in town. I had a long Friday, but a nice one. Chee and I headed up for Albertville but traffic was crazy so we lounged at Arbor Lakes- Hit up Mt. Fuji...it hit the spot like whoa! We caught up w/ Chee's friend Sean to see Grown Ups. It was okay- a good laugh...could have been better though-
Early morning- getting ready. Gotta run to the bank, pick up grandma and Austin and head out- will be another long but fun day. Peace out-

10hr shift

Made myself stay at work till 7pm just so I can get out of work by 1:30 tommorrow. I'm so ready for the weekend. Thank god tommorrow is Friday. I HATE WORKING.

Clean up!

Was able to put all the folded clothes away. I shattered my mirror- glass everywhere but i managed to clean it up. Tommorrow is Thursday- brings me one day closer to Friday. Work was stressful today- but i'm hanging in there- I try to take deep breathes and relax. I know, i complain alot, but i must admit- i love seeing those paychecks. It makes me want to stick it out till baby comes out- I'm so ready to see my son. He's an active little guy- I can't help but look at baby boy's stuff & buy things here and there. He has 2 pairs of shoes and a Polo vest already.
Suprisingly, it's 10pm and I'm not all that tired yet. Hehehe...soon! I barely see my hubby these days. I must admit, i miss the man and I can barely wait till Friday night so I can stay up late and lounge w/ him. I'm so thankful we have Monday off- Chee and Austin will be in town tommorrow night. Too bad I have to work Friday, but I'll try and see if I can get in to work early so I can get out early.
I got my glasses! $260 as usual, but this time, it's got coverage so if it breaks or whatever, I get a new one. Good coverage for only $25. I'm still annoyed by that stupid eye doctor. I saw him today talking to a patient. The way he talks makes me want to throw something at him. LOL...jk. That's pretty mean. The way he talks is just annoying.
Emmy is trying to find work for me again.

"pretty please. pretty please mommy" -emmy- she wants to play w/ the stamps-

"can we stamp mom"

I'm overly exhasted

I'm so ready to quit my job- I don't know how much longer I can do this while pregnant. I'm soo exhasted by the time I get home< I don't want to talk, cook, clean, etc...

Weekend Madness

I'm soo exhasted from this weekend. Friday grandma got in town so Bob picked her up from St.Paul. On our way home from work, the rain was pouring like crazy. We actually got caught up with hail coming on 94W back home. Nai and our Corolla got messed up dents in our car. Time for car claim. Man my twins are getting beyond huge. I hate them- one of these days I'm going to have the courage to cut them off. Baby has been kicking and moving A LOT. I don't remember Emmy as active. 5 months in-going on 6. Crazy how fast time flies.
Saturday- Bob and I woke up extra early...however i fell back asleep till 10am. We hit up MAC in uptown. I think this is the first time we ever really went down there. I got a Pro-long lasting lip color b/c my lipstick was running low. I find myself reapplying it alot. It's annoying so I decided to try the Long Lasting wear. We did some shopping at Target later that afternoon. Got a new shower cabby for the shower. I also got my eye exam done that same day as a walk in b/c someone didn't show up to their appointment. The doctor was weird as heck- but I picked out 2 glasses. Once I get my check, I'm gonna head back to order them. It's time for an update. Spent the late afternoon scrubbing the bathroom downstairs. A lot of scrubbing and clorox did the work. Washed up the shower curtain and bathrugs,. Everything is fresh and new!
Today- woke up early! Mom was at our door, Dad was at our door trying to get Bob up to go w/ Jon to the park. Ehh..we went back to sleep. We alarmed ourselves for 9:30am but Bob messed up the alarm clock and got us up at 8:30 which means mom and dad was at our door at 7am! Crazyness- Chop chop chop- it was hot out- my back ache from cutting up 3-4 watermelons. The heat got me CRABBY- Emmy needed to pee and bob and his usual excuse- "The men's bathroom is nasty so you take her." Omg- I just turned around. My belly is big, I'm tired, and I'm hungry- Anyway- we ate and rushed to St.Paul for Peter and Va's Babyshower. She got loads of gifts for baby Lylah. So excited for them. When we got home, I took at short 30-45min nap. It felt good to be home in the AC.
The babyshower has been arranged 3 weeks out from now. I'm excited for baby and am so ready for baby to come out- I'm so tired from working but I love seeing the cash come in. It's helpful. K-out!

Worn out-

Tommorrow brings Wednesday. Soon enough- it'll be Friday. Supposingly, I get my computer tommorrow.=> good news. gosh i'm tired! Thomas and I are out~!

A check

paid out to "Jannie Vang" is the best thing ever- LOL..it's small. It's only for 10 hours of work, but damn it feels good to be a ganster. LOL..jk.

Awesomeness

weekend with the fam- ate the crap out New King Buffet today. Got some new cheap cosmetics that I enjoy. Back to work tommorrow sucks ass. I'm still waiting to hear from Augsburg. I dont know why, but I still have hope in them. I still do- we'll see by the end of the week. Thinking it's a 50/50- Money will start to roll in again next week. Excited to have some cash-

blackberry curve

Is super cool

Fathers Day

is this weekend and i'm a brokeass- no money to buy my honey anything, no money to buy my daddy anything. If the weather turns out maybe we'll be out fishing- the job is going well...can't wait to see money rolling in again. I'm making plans to attend Grad school in the Spring or next Fall. I'm excited about it and can't wait to pursue bigger things in life. Of course, I plan on working full time and going to school on a part time status. I CAN'T WAIT to see what God has in store for me by the end of this year.
I've been craving new cosmetics but I haven't the time and money for anything these days. I do need some new maternity clothes. Maybe that's what we'll do this weekend is go buy me some clothes for work. Thank GOD tommorrow is Friday. I'm so ready to sleep in =)

IDA LEE- Congrats on the pregnancy. I'm super happy for you. Don't scared the crap out of yourself. If Chelle can do it, then you can. It's piece of cake. LOL =)

Chelle- Enjoyed you and Ryder's visit today. Your goodies are like Whao...Thanks! I'm enjoying them. Muah!

Registered

myself at Babys R Us & Target. Emmy and I ran to Northwestern to grab some Sunday School supplies. Today went well. I wasn't too tired when I got home so we were able to go out. Right about now, I'm worn out and ready for bed. I haven't been able to spend much time w/ the hubby. Kind of miss him being around. By the time he gets home, I'm ready for bed.
I rubbed my belly today and was able to feel baby inside me. Kinda cool. This pregnancy by far has been super different. I wonder how it'll be like with my 3rd or 4th child. Heheh...K- Gotta get the clothes ready, alarm set, and get comfy in bed.

Watching

the bachelorette. All the kiddies are out w/ jon n tina shopping. The house is nice and quiet. I've been thinking of new plans for this coming new year. I know I can't control everything but I always like to have plans for the new future. So i've been working the office job for the past couple of days. Granted it's nice and quiet, but it actually makes me realize that I miss retail. As much as I hate retail and it's hours, I miss the customer interaction. I'm starting to think Tina was right- that customer service is what i'm good at. I feel like i've been really picky about my jobs. Bobby told me that I should be picky b/c I graduated w/ my BA and had goals about my career. I'm so glad that my better half is so kind and patient with me. I know I yell at him alot and can give him headaches, but gosh I don't know what I'd be w/out my Nee. I love him...I really do. The other day he asked me if he was a good husband. Hehehe...is is more than 110%.

Nightmares like whoa

tossed and turned all night long. Told mom the stories. She's glad I kicked the two witches out =) Belly is itching. Did my first trial audit today. Not too bad. Once I get the hang of everything, it should be good.

565 and 656...damn i keep seeing these numbers. i think i gotta go play those numbers yo= Cela wrote it for me and then i went to work and saw it on the white board. What a coincidence? Let's gamble. If I win, I RETIRE. LOL..IN MY DREAMS!

Why

do i get myself into stupid situtions like getting a job when i'm 5 months pregnant? Now I need to find the nerve to tell my super cool boss i'm prego and will be gone in 4 months. Stupid- I should have just gone to the DRC for that 3 month deal. I hate myself and the routes i take. Still waiting on Augsburg...it's like a 50/50 thing. If i get into Augsburg, at least I was honest and told them I was pregnant already. BLANK-
Should be in bed by now. baby has been moving a lot lately. I've been having heart burns and gosh- i'm not very comfortable. So far, i've gained 5lbs. I wish to not gain any more than 15lbs. I don't need any more extra weight to work on.
We went and got Bob some new work shoes and tennis shoes. His feet is spendy, but his feet works hard for me and my daughter. If he didn't have that arch problem, I don't think it would be that bad. I love my Nikes my aunt May bought me. LOVE EM!
K-ready for bed. Night~!

Woke up @ 10am

Feels good to sleep in. I'm so itchy all over my back, belly, and thighs today. My back full of scars. I try not to scratch, but it's so hard. Still waiting on lab results. Bob went in to work early to pull some OT. We really need the money. He's been quite a houseman today. Got home, did the laundry, the dishes, cleaned the house, and is ready to cook. What a man I have. LOL> Gotta be thankful, he only does this once in a blue moon.

Defintely a boy-

I saw his little peewee again. I like Thomas- my thomas...tech saw all for heart chambers! I'm happy! Just watched "It's Complicated"...ready for my hubby to come home.

2nd Ultrasound

was scheduled last minute today. Praying they see all of what they need to from baby. Weekend is here so I get to sleep in!!! I know, lazy ass huh?

1st Day

back to work was okay. meet and greet, meet and greet, and meet and greet. i think that after settling down and doing what i'm suppose to be doing- everything will be okay. my co-worker/trainer & manager is really cool and laid back. met the big guy and boy was he ever cocky, "yeap, i'm paying you to be here". okay?!? neway- baby is kickin like whoa!

i don't like to pretend or hide that i'm preggos- i love telling people i'm preggos, soon enough the tummy will tell itself. i wait a week to hear if i'm in at augsburg or not. i'm praying it's a yes- but this time, i'm letting my God lead me. taking a deep breath and going with everything that's happening. can't control it all so i'll just let it be.

emmy is so silly. i love her beyond mars. lol.. EMMY+MOMMY = DANGEROUS

Back to Wells

Starting up tommorrow as a Quality Anyalst. I'm hoping all goes well tommorrow. I hate being a newbie. It's sucks all together. The interview at school went very well. I was very pleased by how well it went. I was honest and told them about preggos. Either way- if it is God's will...it will be mine. If not, then it's not God's path for me. The itch have yet to stop. I got some Aveeno Oatmeal Oil to help with the itching and suprisingly it's been working. Thanks Doc-

Emmys 2 front teeth are dead. I'm sooo bumbed but what can I do. I just hope it doesn't affect her self-esteem as she gets older. Dentist said that once those fall off her adult teeth will come in and be beautiful.

I ripped a piece of gum in half and told her to go share it w/ Eybay- she later confessed that she ate both of them and swallowed it. I told her it wasn't good for her tummy and she said, "I do like Thai Chee. She swallow her gum too." Little dork. I think she idolizes Thai Chee too much.

Relax and enjoying my last day at home. Ekk..

Visiting Chole

was nice. She's sooo Susan. After visiting, my emmy kept insisting that she was going to have a baby sister instead. She's so silly. We stopped at Saigon for dinner. It was super good. Had my usual E8 and bob had his usual F1. Yummy! We also stopped at Target to register baby. Got some picks, but gosh- I almost seemed clueless as to what I needed again. Hehe...Oh of all things at Target, my emmy wanted an eye sleeping cover b/c "it's to shinny". She's so cute!

Morning Interview

@ Wells went really good- I always do real good with the darn banking industry. But guess what- Augsburg called. Of 240 applicants, I'm down to the last 3. That must mean I'm worthy of something. Hehehe...I'm excited and will be studying all day Tuesday to prep myself for this oppurtunity.

Dear John

was okay- was hoping for a better ending. I watched it all by myself b/c I didn't want to make a fool of myself holding my damn throat, trying not to make a single noise of Wahahahah- hehehe-
Emmy and I are enjoying our Asian Jello Pudding. Bob's working late again. The itch may be a sign of a problem. I had a urine test on it. Baby wasn't cooperating well so we need another ultrasound. I hope nothing's wrong.
My interview is tommorrow. My tummy is popping out- I wonder if it'll go through-

Itchyness

Gosh itchy all over..my thighs, belly, arms, back, and breast are all itchy. Thank God I see Dr. Raines tommorrow. I did some info digging on babycenter and I guess it's normal to be itchy. I guess 1 in ever 150 women have this crazy thing called PUPPP....man this pregnancy is like Whoa! All for my son..Hehehe- my skin is sooo fugly now though. I'm rashed up all over. Bob put some Caladryl on me to calm my skin down. Gonna hit the sheets now. Night!

Icky Wacky Farty

soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo urrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh

BABY BOY

The ultrasound went well. It's been confirmed that we'll be expecting a baby boy in 4months. I'm excited but not soo excited about picking out a name. Boy names sux. My bladder was soo ready to burst during the ultrasound. The lady printed bad photos for us...oh well. What can I do. But I'm excited and ready to register!

Memorial Weekend @ Graco Oakes

Had a great time away from the city life- It was relaxing and very beautiful. I enjoyed it alot. The sunset and sunrise was beautiful off the lake. Got the girls and steven on the bus right in time to leave. We hit up MOA and Ikea today. The guys helped Pao move into his new home. I'm glad they'll be living close by now. Now I have a place to visit more often. My girl is getting bigger by the moment. I got her 2 new flipflops from OldNavy. Baby inside my belly is also getting bigger. Tommorrow is the big day. We get to find the sex of baby @ 9:30am. I'm super excited and happy with either sex. If it's a boy- yipee we get to experience life with a baby boy. If it's a baby girl, my daughter gets a baby sister to grow up with. Friday is the interview at Wells. I'm prego as ever...not sure where things will go but I'm not going to worry. I'll let my God lead the way.
Had some Kaphong tonight. Yummy! Dad's back from Cali..I miss him. Didn't get to see him 2 weekends ago. Emmers is sooo thick and cute. She's playing with Po Becky and Po Nai and her Dora Explorer stickers. Neway, I'm drained. Gotta hit the sheets soon. Night bloggers-

Haven't

been on here for a while. Steven & Butter are in town. I'm getting fatter and my stretch marks are making me itch like mo-to-the-fo. This weekend we head for Graco Oakes. I hope this humid weather doesn't keep up b/c om-word..i'll toast out at the camp site. Chee gets in town Thursday night. My phone interview w/ Augsburg is Wed. I need to prep tommorrow. I don't know what to do b/c I'm soo pregnant now. My clothes are not fitting...I need new maternity clothes. I've gained 3 lbs so far. So far so good. I don't want to gain any more than 15-20 lbs b/c life will be miserable. I get to find out the sex of baby next tuesday. Yipee-

Milwaukee

Heading there around 8ish tonight. Steven walks tommorrow at 6pm. I'm proud of him. I can't wait to see Grace. We're hitting up 7mile. Excited to see my family.

The Weekend

is finally here- Busy weekend ahead of me. Saturday we'll be at Church for the Neighborhood Festival. I'll be face painting from 10-12pm and will be chillaxing w/ B and Emmy for the rest of the time. Collin's bday is at 5pm as well- I need to go grab him a bday gift today. Sunday is church of course. Tommorrow is Emmy's last sunday school class. We'll have to get her teacher a gift- Afterwards, we're doing some house browsing in this area- Next week, Steven graduates. As of right now, we're gonna make it. Officeteam called- I don't want to, but I have to call back soon to see if they have any regular office support openings. Gotta shower- already cleaned up the room a bit. Thank God mom and dad bought some groceries b/c our fridge has been empty for weeks. Been tooo broke to buy anything. Got the windows wide open for some fresh air. Today is beautiful. Let's hope tommorrow is too- GOD IS GOOD!

I adore my mother

She inspires me everyday- i love her endless love and patience for my family. I spoke to her earlier and feel so much more relieved. Having God in our life makes things 50 times better! Thanks God-
and grandma...I love her- if it means moving in with my parents to be a child of God- then God, bring her home =)

Hard times...

I don't know how to express how much I worry for my family....especially for my mom. I want to hide her from everyone and everything and give her time to breathe. I'm afraid she'll go into a mental break down from everyone. I worry for my dad- he's not in the healthiest state of mind. Geodon is taking him down slowly and I don't want to see it. As much effort as I put in to encourage him to slowly taper off that med- ...it just doesn't go in. It's hard...they say it's like something is crawling out of your skin, killing you slowly, with nightmares, electric shocks in your brain. This emotional break down in my family is what caused the breakdown in me and all my siblings. I guess some people just experience life differently. All I know is that I love my family and I don't want to see my mother or father break down and apart. I'm worried...
God watch my family.

I want to

take on a new hobby or craft...

I've gone through
1. Scrapbooking
2. Knitting/Crochet
3. Photography
4. Puzzles
5. ....

What's next in line?

Another Sinus Infection

up the ass- i hate it b/c i can't breathe for shit. Please do not stay for another 3 months...
Interview at Office Team went well today. Recruiter told me I was a very good canidate and will have no problem getting assignments. Most likely- it'll be w/ Wells is my assumption. Can't wait to have some money roll in to help pay for bills and of course buy myself some goodies- (bobby hates me)
I was a good girl today- I was up at 9:30am. Made the bed, did the laundry, packed lunch for my hubby, and went to the interview. I got there 30mins early- thank goodness I didn't get lost downtown MPLS. I need to get on folding the laundry though-hehe...
My emmy is also sick. We'll, she's got a runny nose like me. My nose is red from being wiped constantly. Did my nails today with Sinful Color's Mint Apple. LOoks like a teal green color. I tried the Sally Hansen One Coat fast dry nail polish and love them. However, they're pretty expensive...one day i'll buy them all.

Ida: what nail polish color is that blue/black sparkly nail polish you posted? I love that color. (i have yet learned to post a comment on your page)

Rainy Friday

Bobby plans on fishing tommorrow morning with Ken. He's excited b/c it's fishing on a big boat. Hehehe...I'm so craving for pop. Had a good sleep. Pangia called me early today to give me some advice on the interview on Monday. Sunday is Mother's Day. Nothing planned. Just church. Ryder is over and is super hot. All the kids adore him. I love his chubbiness.

Finally

AccountsTemp called. Interview on Monday. We'll see how things go. Honestly I'm really tired off my buns, but I need the extra cash for when baby comes. Bills bills bills. I hate bills forever.
My typing skills suck lately.
Tommorrow is Friday. My life is boring.

Emmy says, "All the time means God is good"

Bob and I cleaned up the room today and put Emmy's bed back up. She kicked me in the tummy last night so her daddy and I insists she sleeps on her own bed. I hope that goes well. I'm most likely going to sign her up for that summer program, "It's a big world". It's a 1 month thing every Friday and costs $50. I think it'll be worth the money. She's really shy around others so I hope this helps open her up to meeting new people. I know I was super super shy when I was a kid. I never talked...people that I was stupid. LOL...I feel like my mom now b/c people always say can she talk, and I have to tell them, "yes she talks non-stop, but is just shy". I remember my mom saying that to others. Hehehe....
Ryder comes over tommorrow. Chunker's gonna get it. Oh and I go to the DRC tommorrow and hopefully I can do some temp- work for them till July. I so desperately need the extra cash. This is a busy month...excited for everything!

Ultrasound

is set and scheduled for June 1st @ 9:30 so Emmy and Bob can come with. I've been playing with the Windows Movie Maker. It better work or else I'm gonna blow. I was having issues with the orignal on my desktop so I had to transfer the file to my laptop. Waiting for it to burn.
May called me today. She has some big oppurtunties and wanted some advice. Heheh. Btw-I got a new cross body purse from Target today. I like it. Also got my mom some gifts for mothers day and got them mailed out. I got her 2 shirts, 2 nail polishes, and some undies. Yes I know...but how can you go wrong with undies, besides the wrong size. I got Auntie B to meet me at Sun Foods to make sure that that steamer is the right machine. It was so mil's gift is all set too. I wish I had all the money in the world to give my moms everything they want, but I'm not rich so I'll just give them my love. LOL...
Bob won't be home till 2-3am again tonight. Emmy is being naughty behind me. So goodnight!

15 weeks & 2 days Prego

Switched my doctor to Raines and I like him and his nurse a whole lot more. I'm glad I made the swtich- Baby's heart beat was fast. He was being very active..the doctor says. I've been having major tail bone pain and the doctor thinks it's SI joint pain. Hopefully it doesn't get worse but if it does, that means physical therapy, belly wrap, and a mattress topper for our bed.
Emmy and I went over a few things in her Preschool Basics book. We went over lines, shapes, and the letter A. She has such a hard time with A and I have no clue why. Anyway- we're up late. Bobby's pulling mad overtime this week so we'll have extra cash to go to Milwaukee to see Steven graduate with his AA, camping the following weekend, and possibly Grace's prayer party the following. Busy May this year.
Emmy asked me today if I thought she was a good singer. I swear she's always singing. I really thing she's going to want to do something with that when she grows up. Okay. I'm hungry. Later!

Beautiful Weekend

I wanna go on a picnic with my little family- hehe...

What's wrong with these Manitowoc men?

They're soooooo freakin old and are dating babies from high school. They're guys that were older than my generation and here they are...a bunch of losers w/ no women in their lives..so they infest on babies. Sick bastards...they might as well be considered those old hmong men that purchase young hmong girls from overseas.

Ida

Emmy and I are coming to chill w/ u and ryder @ 3pm. See u soon.

They called

and everything is normal in my Emmy's tummy. She's just special, I guess! Her dentist appointment went well....except for when we got home, she threw up. I think she swallowed alot of crap they used to wash and clean her teeth with. I'm lazy as ever. I'm starting to wonder what's wrong w/ me. Yikes.

Emmy's Ultrasound

was today. She was so good the whole time. I hope and pray there's nothing wrong with her tummy and that it's just the way she was born. Tommorrow is her first dental check up. I'm excited to see how that goes.

So...

Bobby tells me I'm lazy- I agree. I finally applied at Accounttemps. We'll see where that brings me. Emmys says she's the princess of everyone. I scrubbed the nasty bathroom today. Took off the shower curtain, bath rugs, etc and washed them. Gonna go give emmy a bath and we're gonna bring dinner to her daddy. Janet texted..I guess she leave for San Diego after this weekend. She wants to go watch that new movie w/ JLo in it. I've been wanting to see it =)

Emmy's 3 year check up

They checked her eyes to see how her vision is like. Checked her ears, mouth, weight, and height. She's 39 inches tall. Almost 4 feet tall! She weighs 40lbs at the moment. Dr. Stark says she's a little overweight. Yikes! Hehe...but I kinda figured. From now on, she's getting cut back on sweets. It'll be good for her health. Her tummy is still iffy. Dr. Stark requested an ultrasound on her belly so we're gonna get that checked soon. I want it checked either way b/c i don't want to risk anything. The left side of her tummy is a little bigger than the right side. Dr. STark says that one side does seem to have more muscle than the other. Otherwise, my healthy little girl was good. She did get 2 shots and got teary eyed. After her shots, she was walking like she was cripled. LOL. We grabbed some breakfast this morning after picking up daddy and went to walmart to grab more strawberries, detergent, and some food. Oh and i did switch my doctor to Dr. Raines. I need the extra attention. I'm really scared of postpartum. I've been thinking about it and here and there crosses my mind. I'm scared. All I can do is pray and of course seek professional help. I don't know why my hormones get all jacked up when i'm preggos. Neway, I plan on lounging in the tent Bob put up in the backyard. It's a little cool today but will be perfect inside the tent. Bob's been pulling overtime. A lot of new ideas have crossed my mind. Now all I need to do is take action. Health wise- I need to be all there.

early morning

got the kids up to get dressed and ready for school. having heartburn at the moment. it's so annoying. i only get it when i'm preggos. neways camping at Graco Oakes have been confirmed. excited for it. applied for a job at augsburg. crossed fingers- had somem apple jacks cereal for breakfast. emmers and b are sound a sleep yet. i don't feel like cooking today. i just wanna go back to bed. for some reason baby doesn't like me sleeping on my left side. B and i are bad, we're already calling baby "baby brother". a few more weeks before we find out sex of baby. thinking about switching doctors. i need a more professional doctor. wished there were more women obgyn. sick of men. decided to volunteer at church for the neighborhood festival. i'm gonna face paint children all day long. oh emmy finally has ther 3 year old check up. i know, i'm bad. she's been 3 for a while but i had to wait b/c i did that last year and my stupid clinic said i have to wait every year till april or so otherwise i'll get charged. weird..but whatever. haven't been blogging. lazy. lazy up the ass.
the familiy has discovered something about ourselves. i'm glad that everyone acknowleges it. we as kids have decided to have a family talk soon- it needs to be done. neway- happy tuesday.

Back Home

tired and exhasted...have alot of things to take care of soon.

In Two Rivers

so relaxing. I wanna go relax by Lake Michigan soon. Austin will be happy.

Missing Emmy

Soon enough- i'll be home to kiss kiss her forever. Being home from her for a whole week is hard!

OFF

To Wisconsin then to NC for a week. That damn drive is gonna be ekk...but what the heck- i'm a grown girl and can do it on my own. My heart already lingers for my Emmy. Darnit- I'll miss her...but it's okay...Time for some mommy time- hehe..

These new antibotics make me super duper drowsy!

Prepping for the Trip

Thursday I head for Milwaukee/Two Rivers. Excited for the trip to NC w/ my momma and aunties- I cannot wait to see Gracie. I want to kiss kiss kiss her forever and squeeze her like there's no tommorrow.
I see my doctor tommorrow. I'm excited to hear baby's heartbeat. 2 more months till we find out the sex of baby. Oh and I applied for a job Express Employment for a Student Services Coordinator position. It's in Eden Prarie- but I will do what I must do to get in if that means a long drive to work.

1:25am

Up late again. Should be getting to bed soon. We didn't get up in time for my emmy to go to Sunday School but we made it in time for service. After church, we went to Lia's for the Easter Egg Hunt. It was nice. All the cousins came over, we barbequed, chillax, and chatted. Emmy got half a basket full of eggs. It's so fun seeing all the kids scramble around for eggs. I had a good day. Thanks to God- Jesus has risen.

Some Updates

Here is my conclusion-
Been applying for jobs, if i don't get a call- i will take a break from that and go back and work in the banking industry. In the meantime- I plan on going back to Grad School and HOPEFULLY get into the University of MN. While I do that, I intend on working at the U doing work study supporting the academic department. In getting my Masters- I will be licensed and will do well in my field of study. At times I feel like giving up but this is my passion. I will not give up and I will suceed.
We found a pretty decent apartment about 15 mins away from here. We'll see where we go from here.
Oh and this coming Thursday- I'll be driving down to Milwaukee. Friday, my mom, ger, and aunt ling will be flying to NC to see May. I'm excited but lagging that drive to Milwaukee by myself. On the way back won't be so bad b/c the girls will be coming home with me. They miss Emmers and want to visit.
Pregnancy- I am 3 months already. For some reason, this pregnancy is going by really fast for me. Can't wait for October to come and meet my baby #2. We met up with Peter and Va and they're also expecting. She's already 5 months and expecting a girl. I'm excited for them b/c it's their first. We had Susan's babyshower today. She got alot of nice things- the games were really fun- bummer no===prizes. I see my doctor this Tuesday. I've got it scheduled for 11am but I'm going to try and see if I can get it scheduled earlier b/c now I really want Bob to come w/ me. I hate people looking at private. Hehe...

Emmy has changed like 6 times already today. She's been singing little hmong songs and dancing real low low low low. LOL...I got her some new earrings and she loves them. She's still stuck on her sippy cups. I'm planning on cutting her off of her sippy cups soon. She only really wants it when she goes to bed b/c it soothes her.

Bob's out for V's bachelor party. They hit up Fogo de Chao, Mermaids to bowl, and the hotel to drink and go wild with stripers. I told Bob he only gets $5. After his $5 is up, it's time to sit down. LOL. Neway- long one. Ready to crash. Stephanie came over at 6:30 am today. I'm tired and we have church tommorrow. It's Easter- that means JESUS RAISED FROM THE DEAD. Amen!

GOOD FRIDAY

Thank you Jesus! You saved my life...I praise you for all you do for me and your people!

blog blog blog

haven't been blogging these days. i had a nightmare last night...it involves chelly belly...kinda scary, but a dream is a dream. i will tell you when i see you. neway- my family is sooo indecisive, it's annoying. this or that, or that or this...blah blah blah.
been applying for new job position. i feel confident- but even when I do- i don't get calls so whatever- my lifeless brain belongs to tcf or something. annoying.
i had 2 mangos cut up, sprankled with dried pepper, fish sauce, and salt. O.M.G. good as heck- hits the spot. ok- night night.

Poor Husband

Requested 3 weeks ago to have tommorrow off and his lameo boss decides today that he won't let bob get the day off tommorrow when he already said 3 weeks ago that it was okay. so today, bob had to work 8am-5pm and then 9pm-5am all in 1 day capacity. He's gonna be so exhasted but I plan on driving us up to Duluth. Crossing fingers that it'll be warm tommorrow. Emmy's in bed yelling mom, mom,mom....hehe...we can't sleep well w/out daddy in bed w/ us. Oh well..night blogers!

My Hmong Girl

My Summer Sandles

Beautiful Thursday

It's beautiful out- but a bit chilly. I'm excited for duluth tommorrow. After living here for 7 years, we finally get to go see Duluth. Hehehe... Emmy is a silly girl. Her newest word is, "Yeh-ea" with w/ a deep additude.

Early Morning

Up early today. I'm starting to feel a lot better now. Glad it's Wednesday already. American Idol sucks this year. My grandma is a big fat liar but I love her inside-out. Austin thinks he's going to Hawaii...LOL...Mom and Dad just installed carpets into the house..and I wanna see. Chee and Lee broke up, I think for good this time. We all like Lee, but it's all about how Chee feels. If she doesnt love him, then she doesn't. Ger thinks I'm a bully...I was just warning her about Lepreachans this month...
If it's nice again, I'll take my Emmy for a walk in the sun again.

Boring Days

I finally finished, "For One More Day," by Mitch Albom. I'd rate it a 3/5. I'm proud that I finally finished reading a book after what, 10-15 years. Hehe...Reading isn't my thing, but I've had time so I put some of that time into this book.
My bottom left tooth is bothering me. Why is it always my luck to have toothaches everytime I'm freakin pregnant? I swear, that was the worst thing I went through being pregnant w/ Emmy. I hope it doesn't get worst. The weekend went by quick. We mostly lounged at home. I was hoping to travel across the state to be w/ my family but I wasn't feeling good and kind of chickened out. I'm hoping to visit soon. This weekend we take off for duluth. I'm excited to see how it's like up there. I have so much laundry and cleaning to do..I don't even want to think about it. I'm starting to finally feel a lot better. No more morning sickness. I get a little nauseas here and there but that's about it. My major cravings have been fruits again. I've been eatting mangos w/ pepper. It hits the spot.
This morning b/fore bob went to work, we watched Catwomen. Our computer is fixed and wormfree-thanks to Johnny as usual. We tried teaching emmy the 1st commandment, "You shall have no other Gods". She's so cute- she says, You have no God! Hehe...I'll have to send my books to the library and recheck out, "90 Minutes in Heaven." Hrmmm...I know I'm feeling pretty useless right now, but I have hopes for a better future. Maybe this future I wanted isn't what was meant for me. Maybe my future is elsewhere....I hope that after having this baby, everything will fall into place. That's all I keep waiting for. I want to have the time, money, and flexibility to travel and enjoy life more than ever b/c to me life is precious. I envy my sisters! They're single, highly educated, open, and free to life. However I can't step back, I can only keep on forward. I love my little family...and I wouldn't trade it for a thing..but I do wish I had the oppurtunity to do things like they do. Dee went to Boston and Rholde Island= my birth place. She went and found the old house where my mom, dad, and i use to live in. She found the school mom and dad went to school at. How freakin cute is that? Someday-

Chelle

So emmy was w/ me looking at the new photos you posted of Ryder. She says, "Awww, my baby is so cute." I said, yeah, he's so chubby now and emmy says, "That's why his dad is Uncle Jerry". LOL....That made me crack up! Anyway- says said, "I miss my baby. He go see the doctor". Hope your trip there was easy. See you soon.

IDA

I LOVE THE MO-PEDS! EITHER ONE IS FREAKIN HOT-

It did come out-

This pregnancy is not funny yo- i feel like i'm slowly dying...my body can't handle this anymore. First, I'm sick w/ a sinus infection for 2 months. Just as I am recovering, I'm starting up on morning sickness and diarrhea! I'm calling the clinic to schedule an appointment today. Ekk.

5:15 AM

and I'm up puking my brains out- this is the first offical time I've actually puked being pregnant. Not fun- i woke up last night from a nap around 8pm to eat some kfc chicken that Bob and I had bought earlier that day. It did not taste good for some reason so I couldn't finish it. Last night my stomach was rumbling like crazy and i was really really nauseas, gagging all night- so i'm really hungry- i had a bowl of cereal just now..crossing fingers that it doesn't come back out.

The man says no

so i guess i can't visit my family. Don't know why he's being so stricked on me. I think he's very overwhelmed w/ our current situation. I don't blame him- sometimes i feel like i'm useless in this marriage...sometimes, i feel as though he'd be much better off with another woman who can help him establish his life. i hate myself...what the hell am i gonna do with my life.

i freakin hate where i am standing right now. everything is worthless-

i love this photo of chia in chicago

Curious Christian

LOL...his head is so big but somehow he got this potty seat stuck on his head and it literly took both Uncle Bee and Uncle Mae to get this off.

Sick of debating

Should I stay or should I go..

I wanna drive over to see my family in Wisconsin. Bob's fine w/ it. If I go, I'm gonna go for a little over a week. I miss my mom and dad....and I really wanna kiss Grace. They only live 5 hours away....But i keep debating b/c i'm pregnant too. What do you guys think about traveling while pregnant?

Beautiful Sunday

I was able to get up early enough to take Emmy to Sunday School this morning. She did really good. It was so cute b/c the chairs are minatures for mini people. So cute- It was beautiful out so bob pulled out emmy's mo-ped but she fell off of it, got scared, and wouldn't get back on so Cela enjoyed some time on it since her 4wheeler was dead. Went to target and got me a pair of sandles for summer- I just remembered that I'm prego and should avoid buying shoes b/c it probably won't fit me in the next few months.

So Aunt Ling texted me about the road trip to NC to visit Aunt May. I really want to go- but Bob's not okay w/ me going b/c i'm prego. We'll see.... I still wanna visit the family as well but I don't know. I guess I hate skipping out on oppurtunites like I did w/ the one w/ my sisters and mom in Cali. I know the road trip will be fun w/ my sisters and aunts..i just don't know if i'll be able to uphold the long drive being pregnant. Flights are $400..expensive as heck...

Anyway- I"m still hoping to get a call from an employer sometime this week to the next week. I talked to cousin J and she said she'd be able to pull me in at her workplace and that their pays and trainings are really good, plus she'd get a $1000 bonus. We'll see where things go in the next month or so.

Today's sunshine was awesome...i hope for more of it! The Duluth trip should be nice. Can't wait.

Time Change

sucks. I hate going forward 1 hour. That just means I'm lazier! Spent the morning checking out Hillside East Apts. We actually like them. The price is reasonable compared to others- we'll see if we settle on that. We then took Cela and Emmy to the Children's Mueseum in St. Paul. Awesome place and would highly recommend for kids. Very educational and fun..warning- kids all over the place. We spent the evening having some Kaphong. Good as usual...then headed out to Sue's place to play w/ make-up. Put makeup on Nai, Lisang, and J. I loved Lisang's eye turnout. Nai's was also nice...Janet looked pretty w/ makeup on...hahah...Green was a little dramatic for someone who doesn't wear make-up but everyone insisted on green. Neway- back home and my two honeys are asleep...Emmy is excited for Sunday School tommorrow. So am i...i wanna hide in the corner and see all of her expressions on school. LOL...oh okay, better hit the sheets...one hour ahead and church in the morning..ekk..

I'm going home to San Francisco

Golden Gate Bridge this past summer in San Fran w/ Bob & Ida. I'd do it all over again.

Pregnant as ever

Woke up early today to take mom to see the dr...after i dranked some water- that shit was ready to come back out. I've never ever felt this way before w/ my pregnany w/ emmy. I'm thinking foreal- this is boy. This kid is gonna freakin love POP to the max cus that's all i freakin crave.....cold ass pop. I hope he won't have a weak immune system like his daddy though- neways i watched Time Travlers Wife and Baby on Board last night. Both good movies. I expected more outta the Time Travlers Wife...but whatever- i cried to both stupid movies. Anyway...I'm watching Final Destination today. I wish i had $ to get out and about but i'm broke as a joke. Don't know what I'm gonna do w/ my low life cus I can't get a job I want...I don't know what to do...all i know is that I'm pregnant and I love my Hubby and my Emmy. That's all I know. Peace Out!

Time Travlers Wife

reserved it..will we crying to it all by myself. the way i like it. mahahah.

Productive Jannie

Got up, made lunch. We had chicken/tofu soup, and fried chicken. Packed Bob lunch and got another application out to Walden University. Bob wants to me to chill and be a mommy at home until i give birth to our 2nd kid, but I can't do that. We need the extra cash and I can't sit at home any more than this. Dressed emmy up in Hmong clothes today. Her little Hmong movie has been motivating her to wear her hmong outfit. LOL...Niam Lo, Christian really wants a hmong outfit, btw. He came downstairs to beg me to put a Hmong outfit on him. LOL...It's raining out....I"m actually enjoying the weather and for some odd reason, I'm feeling a bit better today. Not tired like usual. Hope this is a start to me gettting better and over this damn sickness.

IDA: I don't know how to post a comment on your page anymore
BEDELLE: Cucumer salad? ? ? Whenever you're ready for me...
MARY: When did you guys get the RAV 4?? What year is your car? I love them and if we get a good trade in value, I hope Bob's up for one.
LISA Y: I think we might check out your apartments this weekend...how much did you say it was for the 2bedroom again. thanks!

until next time- peace out bloggers!

Boredom

woke up extra early today..had a really good sleep. no nightmares this time around. lol...Bob and I went to Toyota City to look at RAV4's...my all time dream car. I love it love it love it! I think we'll head back this weekend to see if there are any better deals for a trade in w/ our corolla. The corolla is nice on gas but overall, it's tiny and not worth the money.
I've been browsing job openings again this morning...Hennepin Tech has 4 openings for Admission Advisors and I applied so hopefully I get a phone call. I'm looking at other general work openings as well. Hmm...stressed!
Emmy has her pants on inside-out. She says that I'm a bad boy because I won't give her any more chocolate. Kekis is home today so they're spending sometime together upstairs.
So..on the pregnancy update- not much. only thing i extreamly crave for is POP. Last night, I had to have some so we went out to McDonalds. LOL...late night dinner. Okay, must be productive and do some more browsing about-

Tommorrow

is applying for jobs day again. there's some new good postings out- i don't have much hope but i continue to keep trying...hoping and praying someday- i'll get in.

ABC Tonight

My favorite Bachelor, Jason Mesnick marrys Molly on ABC tonight. I'm excited to watch it. LOL...he's so flippin hot!
So anyway the weekend went by fast. Cousin Lisa was in town so we visited her, plus they made Pho. Cousin Pang was in town as well and I really wanted to take her and her hubby to get dinner but it didn't go through. I had to visit her at the funeral home. Fucken scary as fuck. I hate it. I was super paranoid!!!! The stupid light kept flickering where we were and i kept hearing people talk where all the people were sleeping. I think one guy kept sleep talking though so let's hope it was him the whole time. I really wanted to see Pang so I encouraged myself to go there. We stayed for 1 hour or so...then went out for dinner w/ Pangia and Tony. Great catch up. But omg, i was having nightmares last night. freaking bobby put the heat up to 77 and i was hot, couldn't sleep, and scared as heck. to top that i had a dream that the jerky dara gave pang to bring to me was made out of humans. Yeah? CRAzy right.? and then I keep feeling really scared, but at the same time, i knew God was there watching me. Anyway- this is why I don't fucken go to funeral homes. Only for Pang...never again.

I take it back

Her butt crack shows here and there b/c her pants are yet a little loose. I got a 4T b/c length wise it's perfect. The top is a little loose but she'll grow into it. Damn, I've been wanting to be sooo productive this week but I got nothing done. I don't even wanna step out of this house. I just want to be wrapped in a blanket all day like a cacoon.
I wonder if Dara got my jerky for Pang...hehe...

Bills bills bills

We finally got our taxes in and this year, we devoted it all to outstanding loans/bills. It puts a relief off my back. Nothing left to spend, but it's okay...I truely just want to get rid of our bills so we have more freedom in the long run. The sun is out and the snow is melting. I'm excited for warmer days. I will probably call around today to get some appointments in to see more apartments. I hope we run across something affordable and comfortable.
Yesturday, Emmy and I spent the day w/ Bedelle and Master Ryder. Got myself a maternity t- from the Gap and a pair of Jeans for my baby girl. Her hips are thick and i have a hard time finding her cheap jeans. It seems like "The Children's Place" has the best fitting jeans on her. They're $14.50 for 1 and $22 for 2. Pricy but they fit well and look good. NO CRACKS ON HER BACK. LOL...she knows that her butt crack always shows and she didn't know how to say it so she said, I have alot of crack on my back. LOL...oh and I got her a little hmong movie w/ little girls singing. those little girls are like whoa. makeup up the alley yo! Christian said he wanted a girlfriend after seeing the video and then decided that it was crazy and took off to watch Power Rangers .LOL> too cute~!

Sacramento Beef Jerky

OMG- i want some. Thanks to Imogene for reminding me of them. LOL...I'll have to send some money to Dara very soon. Gonna request for like 5 packs. Hehe..
Master Ryder was here today to show his love. He's gettin bigger by the moment. Emmy wakes up with a wet ass butt. She wet our bed like Whoa! Now I have to change the sheets. I'm so lazy these days. This pregnancy is putting a toll on my body. Have a feeling it's gonna be a boy.
I talked to my mom the other day. She really wants me and Emmy to go spend 2 weeks with them. We'll see what happens. Still waiting on phone calls from places. If I hear nothing in the next 2-3 weeks, I'll have to take on another route with my job. Not what I want, but life will be life and I"ll have to do what I need to do to get by. I"m still hoping to move out this spring. I wanna check out Lisa's apartment. We've looked at like 3 different places and nothing has really caught our eye. I think that'll be apartments though- oh well. The sun is out and all I want to do is get out there and play. But i'm a lazy ass so i'll just stay home.

Sams Club

went to Sams today to fill the frige w/ meet. Got case of chicken, bacon, toilet paper, sausage, and cookies...chilaxing at home all day, all the freakin time.

"For One More Day"

By Mitch Albom...famous author of "The Five People You Meet In Heaven," and "Tuesdays with Morrie"

Emmy and I went to explore the library today. I've been wanting to get a new book to read and settled on a few books. I started on "For One More Day" and suprisingly, I'm tuned in on the book. It's about a guy who's life tumbles down after his mom passes away. He wasn't there to see her pass and it tore his life not seeing his mom one last time....This emotional feeling takes over his body and he becomes a drunk, very depressed, and tries to commits suicide- however survives......I guess later on in the book, he resumes life seeing his mothers spirit around...

Emmy picked up "The Magic Hill". She said it's a princess book. LOL...we read Cailou in the Castle at the Library. She didn't want to leave b/c she loved the castle. She sat in there and said, mom we're princesses. =)

6 Weeks 3 Days

I ended up having both ultrasounds done today. Wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be. Baby is due Oct 23rd. Excited.
