I just want to start off by saying that I am entirely and utterly grateful to Carrie and Michelle for how much they babysit for me. Entirely. I don't know how we could survive without them. We didn't entirely think through the daycare situation when I got pregnant. And they are saviors.
But he is MY child, right? I do get to make a couple decisions when it comes to him. And I'm not bitchy about it, I don't think so at least. I let them have pretty free reign when he's with them.
Tonight Chris took me out for my birthday. We went to dinner, and then drove around talking, something we haven't done together in ages. Carrie was asked to watch Luke, and please have him home and in bed at 8. That is his bedtime. It has never changed since he was 4 months old. It works perfectly for him. And I love it.
Then we get home just before 8, figuring Carrie would be here with him. Nope. I call. She's at RONI'S out in HARTFORD. That's 20+ minutes away. So I'm told she'll have him home soon. An hour later, they walk in the door. UH!
Chris is going to make sure he's up by 8 as usual in the morning, so he doesn't get thrown off.
The only other thing that has ever bugged me is them turning his car seat forward. He is supposed to be rear facing until he's at least a year, and I want him backwards until at least two, preferably. Depending on his whether or not he outgrows the seat before then. But he's still got a good amount of time before he hits the height limits.
But anyway, my point is. I want a couple of holds. I want to be in control of his life somehow.
Life would be nice if I could be a stay at home mom. In a perfect world....

Happy Birthday!
So it's my birthday. It's been so uneventful. Not that it matters. I had to work this morning. Then I spent the rest of the night with Carrie and Josh eating pizza.
Chris has to work until 9, which is in 10 minutes. Then, eventually, when he gets done showering and such, we shall cuddle up on the couch and watch Battlestar Galactica. Which I guess isn't as bad as I thought it would be.
So apparently Chris has some kind of thing planned for tomorrow as my birthday thing. I'm very curious as to what it is, but at least it's finally tomorrow instead of two weeks ago! It's been bugging me for ages now.
I get distracted easily by watching TV. So this entry has now taken me about a half hour, lol.
When I was putting Luke down for bed, I had so much on my mind I wanted to write about but it is all completely missing from my head now. That tends to happens too.
So I'm going to talk about being a mommy some more! I never thought any of this was possible. I won't let him cry it out, I co-sleep, and I roll around on the floor blowing raspberries at him. I love being a mommy and I hate it sometimes. I miss sleeping in, but I love it when I wake up with his smiling face.
Work isn't so bad lately. That's nice. I just haven't wanted to be there lately. I can't wait for Chris to get a meat cutting position and double his income. Then I get to stay home. Or at least be part time. Either one is preferred.
Okay, off to watch and eat popcorn.
Goodnight!

Welcome
I had an opendiary for years. It still exists. I decided I wanted to write again, but going back to that just seemed... weird. I needed some where fresh, new. I go onto my OD and it's just... high school drama everywhere. It felt weird to try and continue my life there. So here I am instead.
So I guess I should start with an "about me"
I'm going to be 24 in two days (the 29th). I'm married to Chris who will be turning 26 at the end of March. We just had our joyful baby boy on March 8th, 2011. His name is Lukas Jacob, but we call him Ook for short.
Well, usually Chris calls him Stinky. And I call him Bubba.
He just started walking a couple weeks ago! I couldn't be more proud of him. He looks like a little robot! No joke. Straight legs, and arms tucked in tight at 90 degree angles.
Anyway. To continue the story: I have 4 siblings, and I am right in the middle of all of them. In order there is Keith, who is married to Michelle. They have 3 children. Well, technically 2. The oldest, Sandra, is Michelle's. She's 9. Then Keith and Michelle have Logan (6) and Abby (4).
Then follows Roni, married to Mike. She has a boy named Jordan from a previous boyfriend. Mike has a daughter named Evelyn from a previous girlfriend. Both of them are also 9. Then there is Aadyn, who is also 6. (Logan and Aadyn were born 11 days apart!). Finally there is Gracelynn, who is going to be 2 tomorrow!
Then there's me.
Then there's Carrie, and she's dating Josh. They have a nice age difference. She's 20 and he's 29. It's not a problem. Only weird thing was when they started dating and she was 15 and he was 24.
Then finally there is Brian. He finally turned 18, so my mom is technically done raising children. He's dating Vanessa, and they've been together now for 2 years! Who would have thought?!
I have to bring them up in here, because we are a close family. There's a very good chance I'll bring them up a lot. I mean, I see them all at least once a week.
So more towards me now. I am a "health, beauty, and general merchandise" manager for Wisconsin's largest grocery chain, Roundys. I work at a Pick n Save in Sussex currently, and, well, I basically hate my job. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm GOOD at my job, but I am not happy there. It pays the bills. Barely. But we are making it.
Chris works at a "competing" grocery chain as a meat clerk. He's training to be a butcher, and if he gets a position, he will more then DOUBLE his income. Once that happens, we are hoping for me to go part time at work, so that I can be home more with Luke. Yay!
My ultimate goal is to be a professional photographer. I'm slowly building a portfolio. I'm sure once I can get my name out there more, it won't be so hard.
Anyway. My life is fairly, weird. I could probably ramble on for ages about the stuff that's been going on with us lately.
Chris and I had a rough spot lately. They always say the first year with a baby is the roughest on a relationship. But stuff just got ADDED to it.
Luke hasn't been stressing us out. He's a simple kid. Rarely cries. Loves to play and smile. He's a joy 90% of the time. Of course he has his moments!
But we got stressed over a GIRL. Yes, a GIRL. So, he started this job he's at in August. Met this girl that works there. Not that that's normally a problem. I've always known he talks to girls better the guys. I talk to guys better then girls.
But they started talking. And talking. And TALKING. Every day, all day. About EVERYTHING. If it got quiet, they had to start talking about something random.
And then they started talking sex.
With each other.
And I got angry.
I asked them both to stop. BOTH. Not just him.
It didn't.
Now it did. They aren't talking at all anymore.
But now I'm not going to go into it right now. Maybe another day. Right now I'm in a good mood. Thinking about her just makes me angry. >.<
I'm going to stop for tonight. I think I wrote more then enough to start. Now it's time to get ready to snuggle with my darling husband, and try and trick him into telling me what his plan is for my birthday thing on Monday.
