New Blog Template

Thanks to Allison for my new blog look. I love it! Thanks so much!!

Monkey See Monkey Do

Leslie did a picture of her dd with pig tails, so I had to do one too. Thanks for the idea!



This is remarkable because normally she goes all wolverine on me and wails/flails/kicks and screams to avoid the comb and brush.

Yay

So tomorrow is the 1st day of my Jury Duty month. Good news, all cases scheduled for tomorrow have been dismissed! Woohoo. That means I am free till Monday, which is great cause I have a lot of work to get done tomorrow. LOL!

Christmas Cards

Okay, since I am getting ready to send out Christmas cards next week, if you want one, email me your address. Since I got my email added to the template (thanks H-Gal), you can just click the e-mail button and send it to me! I will take names until Monday, December 4. So if you want one, let me know!

Wow

Where has November gone? I can't believe that there are only 25 days left until Christmas. I still have no clue what to get Chayleigh. I haven't gotten our Christmas cards done either. We have a photographer coming to take some pictures on Saturday. I hope that they turn out good. If all goes well, I should be able to get our Christmas cards out next week.

Chayleigh is advancing so much. She pretty much talks in complete sentences now. Her favorite things to say are "Oh no" and "Where is ____". She loves to read her books and tonight was actually able to identify pink, green and red. I was SO happy. For some reason she has troubles with colors. Anyway, enough brag for now I guess. LOL!

What would you do?

As many of you know, my birthday was on the 18th. My in-law's didn't call, didn't send a card, NOTHING. I have given it a week and a half now and still nothing. I am PISSED. Am I wrong to feel this way? They have always gotten me a card/gift whatever at Thanksgiving. This year nothing. DH told me it is because I didn't remind them, and wouldn't let him remind them. They have known me for 7 years, why is it our responsibility to remind them?

They were supposed to call us on Thanksgiving to set up a time to meet over the weekend so that they could see Chayleigh. My FIL called on Wednesday and said that he wanted to meet on Friday, but we already had plans. I suggested Saturday, but he said he would talk to MIL and call us back on Thanksgiving, but didn't. My DH keeps telling me that if they want to see Chayleigh, they will call. I however, hate uncertainty. I don't feel as though it is up to us to not let them know her, however I don't want them to hurt her like they hurt me. Where do you draw the line? If it were you, what would you do? I know I am over reacting with this (gee, me over react?), but I guess that I have nothing better to do with my time.

A new funny

So, I am one of "those" moms who yells their child's names when they are doing something wrong. So the other day, I yelled, "Chayleigh" and she looked at me and said, "Whhhaaaaattttt?" as she was walking towards me. It was so hilarious.

What American accent do you have?

What American accent do you have? Your Result: The West Your accent is the lowest common denominator of American speech. Unless you're a SoCal surfer, no one thinks you have an accent. And really, you may not even be from the West at all, you could easily be from Florida or one of those big Southern cities like Dallas or Atlanta.

Changes are a brewin

I was recently informed that one of my "friends" has been verbally attacking one of my best online buddies to another mutual friend, and on her blog. She is also saying horrible things about me, my dh, and our marital "issues" which is NONE of her business. This person is entitled to her opinions, however, I do not appreciate that she has to blab it all over the internet. This is not a person I wish to have as a friend anymore. I am tired of people who have nothing positive to say EVER. Therefore, I have made a new pact that if you cause me nothing but drama, I don't want to be your friend anymore.

End of rant.

Blowing bubbles with Daddy!

Chayleigh knows her name!

Halloween 2006

We started off the day with Chayleigh dressed in her "Candy Corn Queen" outfit. Chayleigh and DH's Dad LOVE candy corn, so they bought her that outfit.


Later that night, we went trick or treating in my mom's neighborhood and Chayleigh had a BLAST. She absolutely LOVED trick or treating. It took her a few houses to get the hang of it, then she was running up there with her cousins and yelling trick or treat like a pro. Of course since she was so cute, she got lots of extra candy too.

Funny Picture

I had to post this one because it looks like Chayleigh is practicing to be Santa Clause. Of course it is only the ranch she was using to dip her corn dogs in, but it still looked cute.

Blowing Bubbles

Chayleigh and her Daddy are blowing bubbles. She got into it and refused to stop until we ran out of bubbles.

Clothing Pictures

Pictures of the outfit that my friend Barb gave Chayleigh for her birthday. It is an adorable Minnie Mouse outfit, but she HATES the hood.



This picture is of her NEW Strawberry Shortcake outfit. I just love it, so had to share it.

How Brutally Honest Are You?

Taken from Leslie.

You Are 36% Brutally Honest

Honesty is nice, but only when it's convenient. You rather be nice than honest. You figure it's important to be honest about the big stuff, but little lies never hurt anyone!

How Brutally Honest Are You?

Seems to sum me up pretty well, imo.
