I'm Sooo Confused!! And Frustrated!!

Okay... I want to start putting pictures in my entry... Like SloMo or the AOL Journal Guy "By The Way".  I've tried to read the directions and find out how to do it... But the more I try and the less that I succeed... I start to get more and more frustrated!!  UGH! UGH! UGH!

Anyways... Since I can't figure out how to do it (maybe its the blonde hair)... I've put some pictures up in the other part ::boo hoo:: 

SO, the pictures are just some random ones that I took of Rowan today.  She decided that she wanted to try to take a nap in Daddy's new Love Sac.  If you haven't seen a Love Sac before, they are kinda like a bean bag... But made of Durafoam!  Oh, so, comfortable!  And expensive!!  Depending on the size of the sac and what kinda of cover you get... You are looking at anywhere from $115-$600!!

Well, Rowan didn't nap in the Love Sac.  But I did campture some pics of her pretending to...  She is just too funny... Always wants to see the pics after you take them... Too smart for a 2 1/2 year old!

Today wasn't a very busy day... Rowan and I had lunch with a friend here at our house... Hot Dogs and Chips... Num Num... Then it was time to fold and do laundry.  Oh! So! Fun!

Tomorrow we are off to see my Grandmother, Rowan's Great-Grandmother.  Rowan is her only great-grandchild (she is 87).  But her and my grandfather are very excited about the new one coming along.  If all goes well with them... In March of 2005, they'll be the proud Great-Grandparents of another baby!  I swear, they treat Rowan a whole lot different than they treated my brother and I... Hmm, could they be doing things different for a reason???

Well, I guess it is about time to head off!  Rowan is asking for dessert and then I'm sure it will be time for a bath!  TTFN

ps. If anyone could possibly help me with the whole picture thing... I would be SOO GREATFUL!

 

Happy Birthday AOL Journals...

Well, Happy Birthday AOL Journals... Its been 1 year already.... Congradulations to all that have been with AOL Journals since the beginning... You lucky people, you.

You know, I stumbled along onto AOL Journals on accident... Hmm... Could it be fate???  You know, I've found that writing in my journal helps... Plus, reading other peoples have let me into other peoples lives, beliefs, and ways... All very interesting on its own.  I'd definetly say that SloMo's journal is the one that got me started... Believe me, mine will never be as GREAT as SloMo's... But I guess I'll always try :)

SO!  Happy Birthday AOL Journals... Thanks for the GREAT YEAR!!!

So, yesterday after work, I went to work out... Gotta keep those pregnancy pounds from piling on!  Anywho... I was working out and all of the sudden the lady asked me what my heart rate was.  See, at Curves they make you stop every once in a while and do a ten second count on your heart rate... Then, what ever your number is, you look on a board and you find it in a % and color... They ask you what your color is and your respond (mind you, there are 5-10 other ladies doing this all at the same time).  Well, you usually want to stay in the Yellow and Green ranges... But I guess now, since I'm 'expecting' I have to stay between the Red and Yellow ranges (lower heart rate)... But the thing is... How am I supposed to get a good work out if I'm not in the range where I'm burning calories??? EH, I guess I'll just have to wait and talk to the doctor.

When I got home last night... Dinner was just about ready (Tri-Tip and red potatos that hunny put on the BBQ) and the Hubby had me sign up for a Fantasy Football League, for friends and family... Yeah, I guess I'm a good wife if I'm playing Fantasy Football huh?? ::lol::  After dinner, the hubby went outside to wash his patrol car, and of course, Miss Princess Rowan followed... But that didn't last long because my friend Amy and her boyfriend, 'Duck' (Ro's nickname for him, its really Nick), came over to hang out.  So, you know Miss Rowan can't leave Auntie Amy's side... She sure loves that girl too... Sooo sweet...

So, the guys hung out together and talked Shop (Nick is going to be a firefighter) and Amy and I... oh, don't forget Ro, going back and forth... watched "Amish in the City"... Hmm, yes, it was interesting!  I'm not going to make too many comments or anything... But it was different...

Well, I've still got a stack of invoices to enter... Still trying to catch up... And there isn't much of anything else to report.  Ro has gym tonight... If I can remember, I'm going to take pics and try to post them :)

TTFN... Hope all have a wonderful day!

It's ONLY Wednesday??

Are you sure it is only Wednesday??  It can't be true... No, No... I need to check the calendar again... Ah, MAN!  It needs to be Thursday... Which means that I wouldn't have to work tomorrow... But NO.  It is only Wednesday.... ::sighs::

The last few days have been pretty icky days for me.  Morning sickness is kicking my butt in the morning and staying with me for the rest of the day... Either with a headache or with nausea.  I haven't been myself.  All I want to do is sleep or eat... Lol.  Depending on my  mood.

Anywho... Off the morning sickness junk.

Princess Rowan and her Daddy had a great time at the movies yesterday!  When she woke from her nap yesterday afternoon, she told me all about 'Spidy Man' and soda and candy and popcorn!!  Daddy said Rowan was a very big girl.  I guess she sat in her own seat (they were way at the top) for about half of the movie... But I guess she got tired of the chair trying to fold up on her, so she moved to her Daddy's lap!!  ::giggles::  She did have to make 2 trips to the potty during the movie.. But who can blame her.. With a 2 year olds bladder and with a soda in it... I'm surprised she didn't go more!!

I was able to get a little kitty-kat nap in yesterday ::woo hoo::... But I did go work out... Good for me!!  I actually felt better after my workout than before.. Hmm, who would have thought... LOL.

The hubby made another delicious dinner last night.  Lemon Garlic chicken on the BBQ, twice baked potatos, and artichokes!!  Oh so good.  And on tonights menu is Tri-Tip and red potatos... I'd have to say that I'm pretty lucky with the fact that I have a WONDERFUL HUSBAND who loves to cook!!  ::Yippee for Me::

Honey did have a friend come over last night to doing some B.S.-ing with.  I'll have to say, they defiently didn't get out of control like last time ;)  Nah, not even close.  Then, we happened to be looking over the fence because a dog was walking by and saw another couple that we know.  The guy works with my Hubby, so they came in and satdown with us and talked for awhile.  Princess Rowan really likes the wife... She is very into her.

Today calls for another day of working out at Curves... Tomorrow is a break since Princess has her gym class.  And hubby might have another friend over tonight... LOL... I don't blame him for having this guy over though.  They've been friends for a couple of years, he was even in our wedding, and he is off to the military again.  Yes, I said again.  He'd been in the military for a while and got out... Then became a police officer... And now he is back to wanting to play war.  Hmm, he and his family will be missed.  Who knows... Maybe the hubby and I (plus the kiddies) will make a trip to North Carolina will be in the future...

Well, I've got some stuff to do!  TTFN....

Spider Man 2....

Princess Rowan is going to go see her first movie today... Its kinda bitter-sweet for me though.... Daddy is the one taking her.  I'm at work and they'll be watching "Spider Man 2"!!  How cute is that?

This will be Rowan's first trip to the movies... We had ment to take her to see "Shrek 2" with her cousins... But we never got around to it... So, she is off to the movies for the first time with her Daddy...

Honey called it a "Daddy-Daughter Date".  I think it is too sweet.  She always watches "Spider Man" with him... So it is pretty fitting that she goes and sees the second part to the movie with him.  She even knows that it is "Spidy Man"... As she calls it.  LOL... My kid is a crack up.

Oh well... There will be many more movies that we will all enjoy together as a family!!  Still a tid-bit jealous... But I'm glad they are doing fun stuff on his days off.  Its not all the time that a Daddy can spend the day with his baby girl... <3

Today is a pretty good day... I've been at work since 7:30 this morning... Normal is 8am... But I left the house early enough (didn't have to take the Princess to YaYa's) and I guess I got here a little early... Which means, I'll be leaving a little bit early too :)

Definetly going to go work out today... Planned on it yesterday... Something came up on my friend's side... Something about a Plumber (can't be good)... Lol.  Need to get working out though... Count down to Friday is only 4 days!!!

Well, I have to finish my stack of payables... Yippee for me!!  Guess I'll write more later... I'll share how Miss Rowan like the movies (or not??)... TTFN

Icky Day...

Oh Icky Icky days... Why do they plague me??  Lol.

First of all... Last night, I set my alarm.  I thought I had set it for 5:52am... But when I woke this morning at 6:30am, I found that I had set the alarm for 5:52PM!!!  UGH.  So, I woke with a start... Didn't get to do my ritual of hitting the Snooze button once or twice...

Then... As I was brushing my teeth... I wave of nausea came over me!! Darn Morning Sickness!  ::Yucky::  I couldn't fit it and I ended up with my face in the toliet... Gross Gross... Luckily it was clean.  ::hehe::

So, today was the first day that I actually barfed... At least I held out for 8.5 weeks before it came... LOL.

But, as some people know out there... If morning sickness hits you in the morning, it is going to be with you for the rest of the day... So, I feel very icky today :(

I've been trying to catch up on everything that I wasn't able to accomplish last week with my 1.5 days at work... lol... So, I've been up to my neck in invoices and payroll!  ::woo hoo::

Its back to working out today too... I didn't make it AT ALL last week... So, we are heading back to the gym.  I'm glad too because I'm starting to feel fat!!  Plus, we weigh in on Friday and get measured... Sooooo... Gotta work out before that day!!

Well, I NEED to get back to work!  Hope all have a wonderful weekend... TTFN

Floors and pretty much a week off....

Well!  I've been gone a while... AGAIN... Our house has been in shambles and our computer hasn't been up... I've also had a few days off of work, since someone had to be home while the floors were being done... So, I've had Journal withdrawls... Lol...

You can imagine what my inbox said when I came on... 65 New Emails... Most of which were other Journalers entries... I like to keep up on some... So I have AOL alert me when they make new entries.

So, I've posted some new pics of our house... Excuse the icky icky pictures of our house before the floor installation... But you'd have to see them to understand why were are SOOO EXCITED!  lol.

There is also a few pics of Rowan and our kitty Stinker sleeping... They decided they were going to take a nap together this evening and I couldn't resist taking a picture of them :)

Well, we have a few more things to do with the house... Bring in some more furniture and what not... Plus, need to give the Princess a bath... She spent most of the day in the pool at the In-laws for a birthday party for her Papa.

Hope all had a wonderful weekend... TTFN

Still No Floors.... :(

Well, we still don't have all of our floors down.  Bummer... The guy that is laying the floors didn't have his partner (which is his son) to help him yesterday.  So, we've only got floors done in the front room/dining room.  And then, it isn't even the whole space that is done... Bummer again...

My wonderfully sweet mother is at my house today watching Princess Rowan.  Honey had to go to training today, so someone needed to be at the house while they work on the floors... ::Thanks Mom::  I'm only working until 12pm today, that way she doesn't have to be at the house alllll daaayyyy lllllloooonnnggg... Plus, I haven't been feeling all that great (icky morning sickness)... So, it will be nice to go home and rest.

So, Daddy has been trying to tell the Princess that she's going to have a little baby sister or brother... We haven't figured out if she gets it.  We tell her there is a baby in mommy's belly and she just looks at us like we are weirdos.  Yet, if you ask her where her baby is, she points to her belly!!  And if you ask her where mommy's baby is she points to my belly... she'll even give it a kiss... lol.  I guess we've got a pretty smart 2 year old on our hands...

Daddy is trying to get her to ask for a brother... lol.  His family is desparate for a boy.  His parents had 3 boys... and out of those 3 boys, 4 GrandDAUGHTERS came along.  So, this is one of their last chances to get a boy... But I know they'll take anything that comes along... All we want is a healthy baby...

Well, I suppose I should go and do some work... Since I am leaving early :)  Have a nice day all... TTFN
