Ah man, it just hits me that Aaliyah turns two in 10 days, and Adam leaves too.
I am going to a mess.
:c
I'm kinda afraid to see what I'm like alone for that long, it's gonna kill me.

My son is two today. I'm going to be all crying mixed in with 4laugh because of it.

His Gran found a huge bag of legos for 18 dollars. They're the next age size. I brought home a laundry bag to throw them in to wash them. Well, we had gotten home so late, we threw them in the bag but didn't wash them and Gran went to bed and left them out and I didn't realize it.

So James and I are in the bedroom then all of a sudden I hear the lego waterfall of him turning and moving the bag. He finally got the knot loose and James and him played legos last night while I fell asleep.

This morning James was asleep and William was still awake so I got up with him (since I don't have to work today!) and went to go get him something to drink. On the way back from the kitchen he stopped and grabbed as many legos as he could and I woke up with a lego car built next to me.

Wonderful child, put the landmine in bed with us. No wonder my shoulder blade hurts!!!

But I admit, I thought it was too stinkin' cute.

Happy birthday William!

[Knitsy]

@ Dig: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO HIIIIIIM! Two was so much fun with Aden.

[Digital Fiend]

So far I'm loving his age.

Yesterday at the store he got down from the cart. He started to run off (he thought it was a game apparently) and I told him if he didn't come back he would be stuck in the cart.

He ran all the way from the shoe department to the toy department and I waddled after him telling him it wasn't fair, he could run and I couldn't do more than a fast waddle (I always waddle worse after work)

He was running past all the toys, but then stopped and back tracked because he saw one of those kiddie fold out couches. He pulled it off the shelf and sat in it and patted it. Then we put it back and I carried him back to put in the cart which he threw a fit over, but I just kept reminding him it was his choices that got him there.

It was just so neat to see what stopped him in his tracks. I love him getting to see things he wants!

If it helps, the shoe, electronic, and toy department are all right next to each other and he just ran off in a straight shot.

[Knitsy]

@ Dig: Haha ah yes, the running away. I was so thankful when that ended hahaha

[Digital Fiend]

@Nater: I'm sorry you're nervous about being by yourself. I'm sure everything will be fine.

Remember we're here to listen and I'm sure Adam's mom might want to have Aayliyah at some point to give you a break.

It's so bittersweet!

Happy Birthday William!







Home alone with Isabella and I have a 100 degree fever and food poisoning. I'm hoping SO can leave work early because I can't do it much longer. Chills, aches, throwing up and the runs. 100% done with today. SOS, send help. Sorry if that's muddled, not thinking clearly.

[Digital Fiend]

Thanks Iggy!

I'm so sorry you're so sick! I hope the cavalry will get there soon!

I've got to get ready to go to William's doctor's appointment. First appointment with this doctor, I hope it goes well!

[AraTeran]

Happy birthday William!

Iggy: Hope you feel better soon.

My in-laws are watching Gerard overnight and taking him to get professional photos done. I get a night off to see my husband at the community theater smile

[Digital Fiend]

@Ara: I hope you have a great night!

Cupcakes are baking and they smell so yummy. heart

[Call Me Stephanie]

I shouldn't complain... but I swear every time we get sick... I get stuck with the kids 'cause Brandons immune system is worst than mine and he's always just that much sicker than me. >_<

Lily's been nothing but a fuss butt today... threw up on me... I've been feeling crappy all day... But he told me that he fell asleep in the drive way for a few minutes and went to bed when he got in. Boo. /selfish rant haha

[le iggy]

Thanks for the well wishes, ladies! My fever finally broke and my stepmom ended up picking Isabella and I up. We went to her house and she got me semi-going again and helped with the baby. I feel tons better already. Not 100% but almost there!


@Stephanie: Awh, I'm sorry. I made SO give Isabella a bath tonight because I didn't feel up to it. Usually, I end up doing everything when we're both sick. That's just because he's a big baby, though. Lol! I hope y'all feel better, there's a nasty stomach bug going around.

[Naterbee]

Digi: Yeah, I just think the biggest problem is that Adam said that they'd be around a lot tp help out and the thought of it makes me so uncomfortable, especially trying to keep the house up th their standards in order for them to visit in the first place.
And, happy Birthday to your William too, I keep forgetting how close our little ones are.

[Torch-them please]

Blargh, felt for the first time in a very long time up to having sex, and Adam has been all over me all day so of course the moment we get the chance he's passed out on the couch.
:c
I dunno, it's just kinda disappointing.
Which kinda brings me to another point...
We haven't had sex in a long time so my anxiety is keeping me up (to the point of only getting three hours a night ATM) that he's going to hire escorts while he's away.
The whole thing is just freaking me out and I'm afraid it's only going to get worse when's he's gone
I dunno if I should talk to him about this or not but is just making everything so much harder then it has to be.
I don't want to feel like this but... I dunno.
The whole escort was just such a blow in the first place.
