Nine years ago today hubby & I started dating. Wow, has it really been 9 yrs?! Sometimes it feels that long, other times it doesn't. Hard to believe when I first met him at work I couldn't stand him. He pissed me off his first day by leaving an hour earlier than he was scheduled and we were busy. All the rest of us at work thought he was weird & would go crazy on us one day & kill us. Little did I know that he was the sweetest guy I have ever met in my life. We started closing together on Sunday nights & he would listen to me bitch about the jerk of a guy that I was with at the time. Finally we started hanging out as friends, then on May 6th 1999 we got drunk together he kissed me & we haven't been apart since. We were engaged & living together a month later, but not married until 2001. I love him more & more each day. Esp. now seeing how he is with our son, he is the best daddy ever and it's no wonder why K. loves him so much.
Anyway we didn't do anything today - lack of funds. However I did have a sweet note on my desk from hubby, it says Happy May 6th Anniversary xoxo & he colored in the words and drew (as best that he can, lol) Mickey & Minnie Mouse, so cute! I have quite a collection of these drawings that look like they were done by a 1st grader, they melt my heart though.
K. slept until 9:30 this morning. Last night he woke up at 11 & stayed up until 12:30, he screamed bloody murder for a good 15 mins. The screaming was so bad stepdad thought he was hurt. We gave him Motrin & oragel because we know it's those molars coming in. I took him to the pediatrician 2 wks ago cause I was worried it was an ear infection. He calmed down & sat in my lap while I watched a show then he climbed off the bed & went to daddy & sat on his lap while he played WOW. Then he came back to me & I took a drink of my water out of my cup that I got when I was in the hospital when I had K. The cup has a straw & K. was able to suck through it & get a drink for the first time last night. Of course I tried to have him do it again & he couldn't figure it out again.
This evening hubby & I were talking to mom about their vacation & we were trying to decide weather or not to go with them & my grandparents to Vegas this Sept. We decided not to since it would be too hard with K. & we wouldn't really get to do much with him. So instead we decided to visit hubby's parents in Seattle. We called them up & they said they would pay for the airfare up there, they were so thrilled. We have not been up there since they moved there 4 years ago. We decided August would be a good month since it will be super hot here & not so hot there. So we have already ordered out plane tickets! If that wasn't exciting enough I called my sister A. and told her that instead of Vegas we are going to WA & that in laws said her & I. can come up there & stay too! She is in OR so they can drive up there. I just looked it up & it is only a 7 1/2 hr drive. A. thought it was 11 hrs so that is better. Anyway I am now super excited! I miss A. so much. It was different when my brother B. moved up there, A. is my best friend & it has been so hard without her near me for the 1st time in our life. I know she is homesick too, all of us here have been taking bets on when her & I. will move back home. I know I. wants to stay there, he is from CA but if A. wants to come back home I know he will let her. I hate to say it but I hope that happens soon, I hate being apart from her. We are so close that we are like twins, we always know what the other one is thinking. We make the same facial expressions, that gets weird when we do it at the same time it is like looking in a mirror (even though she is skinny as a rail & I am as big as a cow.) We even both found our first gray hairs in the same weekend & didn't know the other had found theirs until later that week. We call ourselves the twins born 7 years apart, lol. I am the oldest of 4 & she is the youngest, we have 2 brothers in between us. Our other brother T. lives down the street from me, he is S.'s dad plus 3 other little cutie pies.
Geesh I just realized it is after 11, it is time for me to get in bed & read.

Good day
Today has been a pretty good day. K. didn't wake up until 10 am which was a real treat considering the last 2 nights have been pretty rough with him waking every few hrs. I think it's his teething again. Last night he did wake up once, it was about 1 am, he cried & wanted daddy then he started to fall asleep on daddy so we put him back in his crib & then not a peep out of him until 10 when I heard him playing in his crib.
So I got up & we got around. Usually I hate Monday's cause mom is off but today we were to go out. Mom wanted to go visit the gift shop at the new hospital, there was a review about their gift shop in the paper saying they had unique gifts & such. Mom wanted to find a mother's day gift for Grandma & she did but over all we weren't impressed.
From there we were going to mom's friend's new scrapbooking shop in Norman (Whole Lotta Scrap.) I am into scrapbooking, journaling, altered books, etc. mom is not. We stopped to buy her friend flowers for the grand opening. The store is fabulous. If you live near Norman, OK stop by & check it out, they are located on Main Street. I picked up $45 worth of supplies & when I was about to pay for it my mom said that she would pay. That was a nice surprise so I told her I would buy lunch. Which was our next stop, however when we got there I only had my Discover card on me & they didn't accept Discover so mom ended up paying. I felt terrible & tried to write her a check for my supplies when we got home but she wouldn't accept it. She told me to consider it part of my birthday which is on the 20th of this month.
The only bad part of today is K. doesn't like to nap when we are out in about & will fight sleep the entire time. Once we got back in the car after lunch he had a hard time fighting it & fell asleep when we were about 10 mins from home. Once home I laid him down but after an hour and a half and him still not going to sleep I finally took him out & let him play. Of course now it is almost 7 pm & he is SUPER fussy. Poor daddy, lol. K. only wants daddy when he gets home from work so hubby is out there trying to calm him down. Mom is making spaghetti for dinner & it should be ready any min. now, after we eat K. is getting his bath & going straight to bed. He normally goes to sleep at 9 every night so I am hoping to get him to bed by 8 tonight.
Ohhh I just realized that mom & stepdad are taking K.B. to hockey tonight so hubby & I will have the house to ourselves, yay! I love when they are gone, or I should say when mom is gone. I found out this past Sat. that they are going to OH for a whole week at the end of June, I REALLY can't wait for that! I could use a "vacation" from my mother.

So I am really bitchy lately...
and I thought it was just from me not taking my medication but it turns out that is not the only reason. AF just came & I am so upset about it because we have been trying to get pregnant again. I have been taking the Actos plus Metformin to help me get pg. It worked getting me pg with K & it worked within a month after 5 long years of trying.
So we have been trying for 2 months now, with no luck yet so I am disappointed about that. If I don't get pg by June my dr said she will put me on a fertility med. at that point too. I really need to get my diabetes under better control too. My last A1c was 6.1% (supposed to be under 6%) that is the highest it has been in 2 yrs when I found out I have diabetes. I know it is because I am not watching what I eat anymore.
I have been emotionally eating more that usual because of everything going on. I miss S. so much, it has now been 7 months since he died. April was a tough month because every since he was 4 I took him to the Festival of the Arts, he loved to go with me. It was so tough to go without him & I kept tearing up. I didn't paint a bowl like he & I always did together, I just wasn't up for that yet. Maybe next yr when K. will be old enough to do that I will continue that tradition with him. One thing that was kinda weird at the festival was that S. & I always got an upside down pizza & we always sat in this one area & several yrs in a row we sat in the exact spot. I had taken some really cute pics of him in that spot eating his pizza. Well mom & I got our pizza & I started heading for S. & I's spot & it was so crowded there & the ONLY open spot was the exact spot S. & I sat at. My mom said that S. must have saved it for us.

UGH!
I am so annoyed right now. My husband, son & I currently are living with my mom & step dad while we pay off our debt. My mom is getting more and more annoying by the day. My husband started up some laundry today & forgot about it so he left a load in the washer & the dryer. Normally I do the laundry but I have been so depressed lately that I haven't done any the last few days. So my mom says "Why can't you do the laundry? You don't work" Her little snide comments are happening more & more often & I am tempted not to pay off our debt & just move out because I can't handle her much longer. She doesn't see taking care of my son as work & she thinks that women should cater to men. I wanted to get a job to help pay off our debt faster but hubby doesn't like that idea at all. He wants me to be home with the baby & he wants to support us. We had a hard time selling our house when we moved from Dallas back to Okc our intentions were to move out of my parents house after our house sold but here it is a year after moving in with them & we are just now in a position to pay off our debt. I am really happy about that & would LOVE to be debt free & this will probably be our only opportunity to do this so I just keep biting my tongue & mom but it is getting harder to. Mom & I usually only get along when we are not living together. We are complete opposites and I am SO ready to move out right now & say to hell with our debt. I think maybe I will bring up the subject of me working again with hubby & see what he has to say about it. I am sure I know what he will say, esp since we are trying to have another baby but can't hurt to try.
