I feel bad that I don't always have time to post on my blog. Part of that is because I haven't had a trustworthy computer in over 3 weeks. Still, I don't think I can make excuses for myself. I have to make more time to write.
I'm going to try and fill in the blanks of big events and such that happened in the last month or so...
(*May not all be in chronological order)
Firstly, my business is getting insanely, crazy busy. I have at least 3 orders at any given time and am trying to expand now to do invitations and other stationary as well. Keep in mind it isn't only weddings I do. I work on other events and things as well. So ya, needless to say managing a home, 2 kids, a pooch and a business all while trying to stay sane is just nuts. I need to learn how to manage my time better.
Event # 2...
The weekend before Russell came home from work I had a crazy, psycho, doped up neighbor "break" into my house. I don't really know what to call what she did, since she didn't technically break in. Trespassed??? Is that better?? Oh well, anyways... I was in the shower with Izaac (the steam in the bathroom was helping his cold). Within minutes of me getting in the shower I heard Mac going crazy. I knew there was someone at the door because of how the dog was barking but I figured "whatever". The doors were locked, I didn't really care that there was someone there. I was expecting my mom to come over but thought she was really early, turns out it was a crazy woman at the door. Gibson thought it was Grandma so he unlocked the deadbolt and this woman just opens the door, asks Gib where I was, after he told her she just walked upstairs into my bathroom. No knock. Nothing.
I felt so violated and invaded. I just yelled at her to get out of my house! What else can I do? I'm naked in my shower. Do I throw a bar of soap at her? Do I go apeshit? I don't know!
I called the cops. Only thing I can think of.
After all was said and done I went out and purchased chain locks and alarms for the doors. Gib won't be able to reach those chains for years.
THEN>>>
Izaac had his very first birthday! A few weeks back, Russell's mom asked if we had plans for his birthday. We made plans on the spot there. Russ' parents were all gung ho for coming then all of a sudden his sister wanted to have a bowling party in their town. I had told them all no, we weren't driving 2 hours north for that + we already had people invited over to our house for that day. Then, whaddya know, Russell's sister and parents can't make it to Izaac's party. His dad owns a taxi company ( he is the only driver, only cab. BUT he has NEVER run his cabs on Sundays) Russ' mom calls me up 2 or 3 days before the party and tells me they aren't coming because the cabs are running on Sunday apparently.
So whatever, we aren't too happy with any of them. They all just missed their last grandchild/nefew's first birthday. Then, my lovely MIL tells me she wants to see the kids so we should drive out there for the day! Right, like that's gonna happen.
Back to Mr. Izaac... His first party was a success! We managed to cram 21 people (kids included) into our little townhouse. My sister made a cake in the shape of a dinosaur and a dino pinata. I made Izaac's "cake" out of a couple cupcakes put on an iced cookie sheet ( all dino themed). He was the cleanest cake eater I have ever seen. Up until yesterday he refused to feed himself. Then he got his very first haircut:
Before picture.
After picture with the hairdresser.ANDPLUSALSO, he fed himself for the very first time yesterday! That was awesome! I finally get some sort of a break from it.
I also learned that Russell has been taking our dog to a freaking spa! Mac goes to a spa more than I get to go! I have been to a spa once in the last 4 years at least. I almost shit a brick when I found out that's where he has been going every 2 months. Oh well, at least he comes home happy and clean.
I have also decided that I will start going to Gold's Gym. I have always been scared to go to a gym. I'm not a barbie doll and am a little nervous to go and try to make myself look and feel better while I feel like everyone else is watching me. I don't know the equipment, I don't know how to get started. I am going to get a personal trainer to help me get started though and will be taking a friend with me to feel more comfortable.
Other than all that, I don't really know what else to say. I just wrote a novel and am kinda tired so I'm going to get off here and watch movies for the rest of the night.
I'll write soon!
