Did anyone call a plumber?????

First off let me say that in the past few days I have been having Connor do things for himself for example: give himself a bath, dress himself, and the one I am so happy about wipe himself when he goes to the potty. The other night I had his bath ready for him and he was on the potty wiping his little heart out. I was in the living room and I hear a flush assuming he will be jumping in the tub any moment: Wrong! There he was standing stark naked saying "mommy the toilet is sprinkling" So I rush into the bathroom and what do you know? The toilet is overflowing and water is EVERYWHERE! In a panic I grab my phone and call Matt (Connor's dad) and he instructs me to turn off the water. Why didn't I think of that???? So after safely turning the water off I start covering my floor in towels which by the way I used them all! I called Matt back and did what he told me, but it wasn't working. So I had a great idea after hanging up with him call my brother Danny! Danny walked me through how to get my toilet working which once that happened my tub could now drain! Let's just say plunging the toilet was an experience all in itself and it was not pretty! So Connor has now learned a valuable lesson don't use too much tp! But during the crisis he did manage to dress himself:) so this mommy was proud! Now it is safe to say that I can add yet another label to myself: PLUMBER!

Weekend update and random thoughts!

So this weekend was pretty laid back. I took Connor for a haircut and the night before I decided that he had to use the clippers. First let me back up and say that everytime someone would attempt the clippers on him he would uncontrollably shake and cry so we NEVER used the clippers. I had made up my mind he had to get over it! So I brought him for his haircut and told him that he had to let them use the clippers and to my suprise he didn't put up an arguement and he was really great! So now he has a little boy hair cut:) Of course he got a toy for being such a sport! The only other thing we did was rent movies which he loves his(ghostbusters cartoon) and I rented License to Wed not too great....just ok.

Here are my random thoughts....I am taking a trip in a couple of weeks and family members that will remain annoymous have put in their two cents....at what point do people just let you live your life? I am 26 and I think I know what I am doing and even if it turns out to be wrong then that's on me, but the thing is I don't regret things that I do in my life, b/c it is what I wanted at the time. If it's a mistake then it is another life lesson! I understand their concern for me, but I am just going to visit a FRIEND and nothing more than that. I have known this friend for the past nine years and they have never once screwed me over in any way shape or form...they have never said one mean thing to me either. If anything they have been one of my best supporters throughout the years. I think that considering everything that I am going through I deserve a time out from my life and reality! So I am looking forward to my trip and my visit:)


Until the next time......

EMBRACING IMPERFECTION

I am not perfect so far from it...I am one who over sleeps, loses my patience more than I would like to admit, dreams of something better, lives on sandwiches, is financially stressed out all the time, starts projects that are left unfinished, eats entirely too much chocolate when down, doesn't stop at stop signs all the way, on occassion takes out my frustration with life out on Connor, too hard on myself, watches way too much t.v., needs to play with Connor more, when I am scared it seems like I am mad, too proud to ask for help,is a making a list freak, and am unforgiving of my mistakes....with all that said it's my life and no one can take any of it from me. I have these imperfections of myself and they are things that I can work on, but I will always have an imperfection or blemish about me and I am ok with being less than perfect or having the perfect life. No one will ever be perfect or have the perfect life no matter how it may look on the outside we don't know what their journey is really about. We can strive for perfection, but we will never obtain it and it will just drive us crazy and left unsatisfied.... I am perfectly content with being imperfect.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? UPS=BAD DRIVERS!

So today I was on my way back from the bank/lunch driving minding my own business....I am almost at work I mean I am on my street and everything when I pull up behind the UPS truck who is stopped. He is stopped so of course I stop...the next thing I know I have a huge brown truck backing up and me trying desperately to back up and move out of the way...well BAMMMM! It is too late the idoit hits me! I get out of my car and say you hit my car and his response to me is "I have a big truck" are you flipping joking? You mean b/c you have a big truck that eliminates the responsibility on your part to um use your mirrors and realize someone is BEHIND YOU! Well don't you know he tries later to get people who are outside to say they saw what happened which they didn't. The cop shows up and takes forever and didn't give either one of us a ticket....so needless to say I have to call my insurance company tomorrow and hope that his insurance company will pay for the paint that he managed to take out while he didn't suffer any damage! I so wanted to go postal on him.....needless to say I can no longer be friends with our UPS guy!

NEW PATH OF LIFE.....

Wow so much has changed since my last entry! First being the day I came home to a note on my computer from Jason saying he didn't want to be tied down anymore. So ever since then it's been me and my little man. It's been three months and each day is so much better than the one before. I am just trying to let it all go and move forward sometimes it's hard when you have people remind you of your situation. I can say that my family has been amazing to me and I appreciate them very much. Connor is getting better too, but sometimes he still talks about him. The other day he said he wanted a daddy and I told him he had one and he said he wanted one around all the time. I am sure you can imagine how deep my heart sunk when he said that. I know that in God's time He will provide me with the husband I am intended for. Right now my heart isn't focused on that or could even handle that, but I still have the faith for that promise. All I can do for now is continue to pray for a healing over my heart.

Until the next time.....
