the bachelor

I don't have the time or energy to go off on The Bachelor right now....however, this girl does and she is HILARIOUS!!!

here we go again..

So last Wednesday night was when I actually got sick and now Matt's sick! He started with it last night. I really didn't think anyone was going to get it here because we passed the 24 hour mark and everyone was feeling fine. I thought my dr always said you would catch it within 24 hours. So Matt called in sick this morning. He has it made as he's sleeping in bed while I'm taking care of Andrew. I feel bad because I passed it on to him, but he kept saying how he wasn't going to catch it because he has an awesome immune system...or something like that. Guess his immune system was down this week! So now I'm just praying that Andrew doesn't get it...ugh! Well, I better get going.

flu season is here...ugh!

Yep! I know this because I just got over it. UGH! It's a pain being sick with a kiddo at home. I started getting sick Wednesday night and any time I'd move I'd get sick! I worried about how I was going to watch Andrew Thursday because Matt had to work. How would I keep an eye on him if I'm puking?! I secretly wanted Matt to stay home...but somebody has to pay the bills around here!! I was up all that night and Andrew was ready to start his day at 7 AM! Luckily he was quite calm all day. He would lay on the floor and watch tv. I even got daddy's pillow out for him to lay on because I knew it would be a treat. Anyway, my prayers were answered and Andrew was a complete angel and left me alone to bum on the couch. It's like he knew I was sick. Now I just hope he doesn't get it...or Matt.
Here he is chillin' on the floor. I hate him in onesies, but desperate times call for desperate measures!...the boy is lucky he even got his diaper changed throughout the day!

why we'll never have a dog

My sister gave Andrew this dog....I should say annoying dog! :) It yaps...doesn't bark...and walks. Well, of course, Andrew loves to play with it. I think he's trying to figure out if it's real or not. Anyway, here's a pointless video to give you an idea of how annoying the dog is.

Andrew's thinking...how do I shut you up???...

maybe if I choke you...

or if I just stick my finger in your mouth...

Who knows!!....I'm done playing with you though!!!!

are you looking for me?

So I've noticed on my site meter that someone keeps going to google, typing in my name and coming to my blog. This is all fine and dandy, but I'm curious as to who you are. You've done it more than once. So now that you've found me... leave me a comment or send me an email. Just curious as to who you are!

And for the rest of you...here's Andrew enjoying breakfast.

debate

So I'm having a debate with a certain someone who thinks he knows everything!!! His name rhymes with BRAT! Anywho...tell me what you say when you want a door to open... is it OPEN SESAME or OPEN SAYS ME!?!?! Thanks for your help!

andrew's favorite pastime

For some reason Andrew has decided that it's fun to crawl behind the loveseat. He goes back and forth. I think he's wearing the carpet out back there. :) It's funny because he crawls back there and gets a toy from the basket and then crawls back out. Crazy boy!Instead of walking in front of the couch to get my toy...I'll go behind it!

Got my toy!....

Man! I'm busted by Mom again!!

Well, I thought I was only going to work 5 hours this week and it actually ended up being 8 1/2. Not too bad, but I'm getting tired of being up there....and kids!! Not my child tho! It amazes me how some 3 and 4 year olds don't have to clean up after themselves! One little brat...I mean girl told me she didn't know how to clean up! I said...well, you will learn today! I'm counting down the days until the end of this Bible study...10 weeks!

we're still here!

Well, I haven't blogged lately because not much has been going on...

I started working my 5 hrs. a week last week. This week I'll be working one extra day...not really looking forward to it. I've decided that when the 11 weeks are up I'm going to quit. I know it will be hard because they are desperately looking for workers. So I'm hoping they won't hound me about coming back. I have a hard time saying no, but I'm learning.

Andrew is growing like a weed! He turned 14 months on the 9th. I can't believe it! He's such a little ham. He's supposed to be taking his morning nap, but I can hear him in there talking. We did get him another dog...stuffed dog. He has one dog that he takes everywhere! Well, we were at Babies R Us the other day and Matt found him another dog. So now I have a child and two dogs to carry to WalMart, church, and to the mall!! Thanks Matt! I had found a dinosaur, giraffe, and elephant for Andrew but he pushed them all away...he wanted the dog.

Anyway, I'll leave you with this sweet picture. He will FINALLY give kisses when I ask! It was like pulling teeth! I'm not sure if you can tell in the picture, but he has his eyes closed!! The other picture he had his mouth WIDE opened! I didn't post it fearing that Broughton would make some dumb comment!

taking a stroll

Andrew LOVES being outside and enjoys taking a walk. Since it was cloudy today we figured we'd get Andrew out of the house....and Matt decided to bring the camera.

Andrew going for a stroll.

For some reason he felt like he needed to bring two toys.

After walking about 1/2 a block, Andrew decided to have a seat. After about 2 seconds he was ready to go again!!

Occasionally Andrew would get distracted by light poles and sprinklers!

After waking a quarter of a mile, I think his poor little legs just gave out on him. He just fell on the ground and skinned his knee. Daddy decided to give him a piggyback ride! Yes, I know his face looks beat red, but it wasn't until he finally stopped walking that it turned red. I tried plenty of times to carry him, but he was determined to walk!!
