9 Months

Wow, not only is Thanksgiving just 2 days away, Christmas is right around the corner, but my baby boy turn 9 months today!!! It's hard to believe it's been that long!! Not much is new w/him other then I think he's getting an ear infection :( He woke up this morning at 6A just screaming, and that's how most of the rest of our day went.
As far as growth or acheivement goes, I don't know how big he's gotten because he doesn't go to the doctor till the end of this month. Along the lines of acheivement, he's done nothing! We call him our little rock because he's round and stationary....LOL He has no desire to do anything, and personally, I'm fine w/that. I'm going to enjoy not having another one to chase around as long as it lasts :)
If you enjoyed the photos, though we're not done messing w/them, you can send shouts out to my bro Wesley!! Doesn't he do a good job?!?!?!!

Road Rage

Okay, this is pretty sad and really makes me see what I need to work on in my life!!!! Here I am, coming from Bible study where we talked about how we need to personalize our "Christian duties" and not just use them as a check off list to make us feel good about ourselves, and this is what I do:
I'm on my way home, and I'm driving down a street w/5 lanes (2 going one way, one merging/turning lane, and another 2 going the other way). There was a truck waiting to turn onto the street, close to the size of a semi. I was all the way over in the 5th lane, no one was in front, behind or next to me. There was traffic coming, but nothing close up. This truck pulls all the way over ALL 5 LANES and RIGHT in front of me I slam on my brakes, almost hitting him, w/all 3 kids in the car!!!! I BLARE my horn, I'm just fuming bc there was no need for it. I pull up next to him, and he just gives me a "I don't care" smile and waves at me I'm STEAMING!! So, then, I get to thinking, maybe he needed to get on the highway bc we were almost to the highway, but he doesn't get on. So there was NO reason or need for him to pull in front of me!!! So, after I realize that, I pull in front of him because we're coming up on a light. I sat in front of him at the light, sat there while the light turned green, and went only when it turned yellow so that he'd have to sit through the light again. It is a fairly busy street, so I knew w/all the cars going around me that he'd never have a chance to get around me, and he didn't. Okay, I am ashamed for what I did , but people like that just ERK the heck out of me!!!!
I really need to do some praying and life changing!!!!!

Pampered Chef

We had our 5th party tonight, and I'm really liking it!!! It's a lot of fun, definitely doesn't feel like work. We're averaging 2 a month, though we don't have any for December yet. We do have one for January though.
I took the boys to the peds today. I took them last week, but even though they had been sick for THREE WEEKS, the ped said they would kick it on their own...GRRRRRR!!! I don't like to see taking my kids to the peds as a waist of money, but when the ped doesn't help us out (and I waited extra long JUST to make sure they weren't going to get over it themselves), it does seem like I just waisted $40. So, another week later, they're still sick, and we went in again. This time they gave me something for their sinus infection which I knew they had b/c I have it and my nephew that I watch had it. It didn't take a brain surgeon to figure out that them having the same symptoms equaled them having the same illness. Luckily, I didn't have to pay for the scripts b/c Meijer gives amoxicilin for free :)
Today was not a good day in the potty training world. Though, Friday was a GREAT day!! He only had 2 accidents, and he's even gone poopy in the potty which is what I hear is usually the hardest part. Today on the other hand, we were like a minute late every time. I think I gave up half way through the day and just said WHATEVER.
I've got almost all of my Christmas shopping done. I'd still like to do the day after Thanksgiving shopping w/my mom and sis, but that depends on what we do for Thanksgiving. It's the year for Thanksgiving w/the in-laws which means driving 6hrs to Indiana. I LOVE getting to see the family, but don't love dragging 2 little ones on a car ride that long. But, it all depends on Shaun's schedule as to what we're going. You'd think we'd know by now, but it's Meijer. They could change their mind the night b4 if they felt like it. The life of a wife to a Meijer Manager....LOL
