I finally found it!

First off let me tell you how my morning went from BAD to better with in 40 minutes... I open my eyes to realize its light outside.. AHHH I grab my phone and realize its 6:58.. I start my morning at 6:15am So I jump up and go to hurry and get dress only to realize MY clothes are all in the washer.. I had went to bed and forgot to put them in the dryer. I'm the kinda woman who has 2 bras.. an everyday wear and a bra for dressy clothes.. so I head straight to the washer, throw them in the dryer and think *okay I have 40 minutes surely they will be dry by then* I go to wake Kobe up.. He was already away and alert thank you Lord. I didn't have time to deal with a tired child. I had planned to get up and make him scrambled eggs and toast for breakfast. Thank You Lord for toaster waffles. Kobe is the type who takes forever to eat breakfast.. he wasn't this morning.. he ate right up, took his meds got dressed, shoes on and sat and watched TV. By this time I'm hurrying and decided I'll skip makeup today. So I fixed my hair, my clothes WERE dry. Got dressed headed to the living room.. Kobe wasn't there, TV was off, I look outside he's got his backpack on sitting on the steps. I grab my purse, keys and slip on my flip flops and head out. I open the door smiled and said thanks for getting ready so fast this morning and listening.. He says "Your welcome, I came outside to say good morning to the day" hahahaha he's a hoot, Off to school we go. He goes in ALONE was able to open doors this morning.. Again Thank You Lord for making my no good very bad 'morning' go to a good day!!



Sooo I FINALLY found my adapter for my cellphone memory card so I can upload cell pics onto the computer. So this is pretty much picture overload lol.











Kobe has mastered "Bubble Blowing" Ugh this was a long hard process LOL but as a wise person said "Practice Makes Perfect"

Kobe writing a sincere "You broke my heart" letter to Mamaw.. Because Mamaw said "No" hahahaha something this spoiled child isn't used to hearing from his mamaw LOL (I know you'll read this Mom and its true hahahaha Love U)



Doing his first ever homework papers.

This weird ??Bug?? it looked like a leaf.. and didn't move forever!

Playing with toys at Dr. Dan's office!

Opened my purse at the grocery store this morning and I found a dirty SOCK in there.. Thank You Kobe! LOL Oooh the joys of having a BOY hahahaha.

You all didn't know I was a mechanic did you?? Yeh that's what I do in my spare time hahahahha KIDDING.. although lets see this morning my van was low on coolant and was whining so needed power steering fluid. Good thing I know how to do somethings :) when it comes to cars!

Wooohooo... We won $50.00 on a scratch off..

The other day at my parents house I caught Kobe walking on this wall that separates my parents drive and the neighbors house. Some of you might be doing the whole *GASP*.. But this actually made me smile. My sister, brother and I ALL walked on this wall ALL the time while we were growing up.. Kinda made my heart feel good.. NEVER did any of us kids fall or get hurt doing it.. and IF I as a child did it, it must not be to dangerous LOL I was not one who lived on the "danger side" lol

Kobe found a locust wing.. it was pretty cool looking! Excuse the dirty hands if you remember in a few posts back it was from working on his bike chain...

Got Zucchini?

We do.. We have Zucchini coming out our ears. Jason's parents have a garden so his Mom keeps us stocked in fresh produce. Zucchini being the 3rd top veggie we get from them. I had never made anything with Zucchini before so I hopped on Google and All recipes.com and found some recipes.. Oooh and My grandma gave me a recipe of hers that I have always loved.. Not sure if She made it up or got it somewhere.. But I'm going to share it..

(I made that name up since it was nameless)

Don't let this picture fool you LOL it really is YUMMY!!! My 5 year old didn't want to eat it because it looked like "Bomit" (vomit) but I made him taste it and he ate every bite!

2 pounds of ground beef or turkey
Some dried minced onion cooked with the ground beef
1 can of corn
1c. of chopped or cubed zucchini
1 jar of spaghetti sauce
soy sauce.. I used probably about 1/4 cup but I LOVE soy sauce.. just
give it a "generous" amount

Directions:
Brown hamburger and minced onions, drain.
Add Spag Sauce, Corn (drained), zucchini, and soy sauce.
Return to stove and "cook" til its all heated up.

I just let mine heat up until the corn bread was done.

The picture doesn't look appetizing but I assure you it IS!!! :)

Fried Zucchini

Jason requested this one..

I just took about 1/4in slices.. dipped them in egg and a lil milk and covered them in flour. They were okay but next time Im going to batter them in cracker crumbs..

Little bit of this an a little bit of that...

First off let me just tell ya what kinda morning I had this morning *sigh* Sooo Kobe wanted to walk in school alone this morning.. I was hesitant but agreed he could. So we pull up to the school.. he puts his back pack on and hops right out of the van. He runs to the door.. opens it right up and goes in.. so I pull away and look in my rear view mirror.. and here he comes out AHHHH.. There's no way I can turn around or stop since I'm in the flow of "school traffic" so I go around the "block" and go back into the crowded school zone and he must of went back in.. THAT'S when the the panic attack set in.. my stomach was in knots.. All I wanted to do was go in and check to make sure he was ok or that he was IN the school.. so I came home and made my self sick from worrying.. so I finally decided to call the school and check on him.. The Secretary gave me the teachers VM. I left a message letting her know what I wanted and asked if she could call me back. About a half an hour later my phone rings and its Mrs. K. She assures me he is there and just fine and that she wouldn't have even guessed he was even upset (IF he even was. I'm sure it was just ME *sigh*) I thanked her for calling and putting my mind/stomach at ease.. Maybe I worry to much.. Not sure if that a good thing or not..

Sooo anyways this past weekend it was sooo nice outside.. Thank Goodness since we had no A/C... we soon found out the a/c unit was broke in the house we moved into.. We were lucky there wasn't REAL hot days like we had not to long ago. We are renting a trailer in a local trailer park right now with the option to buy. Are goal is to buy it.. find land out in the country and move it out there and then build onto it. We both decided we were okay with doing that and it also wouldn't put us in soo much in debt by doing this step by step. The last thing we want is to be up to our ears in debt. We are both trying to start fresh from our 'not so good' previous "marriages". So we "spruced" up the outside of the trailer.. Its AMAZING what a pressure washer can do and how awesome it makes things look lol Kobe was soaking it all in trying to figure out the whole pressure washer thing lol
In the mean time he rode his bike.. well spent most of the time putting the chain back on.. it was stretched and Jason had to take the wheel off and move it back some.. BTW... don't let your child mess with the chain.. I learned the hard way it WILL cut them.. He had a nice little cut on his finger :(

This is before the pressure washer... YUCK!!



Jason hard at work lol

After the pressure washer.. well 3 days after lol the steps are kinda muddy again.. But wow.. it really did clean them..

I'll take pics of the inside.. sometime soon.. I about have all the boxes unpacked :) Its pretty nice inside.. doesn't feel like a trailer except the first night we had the windows open (cause of no a/c) and I felt like I was camping.. I still feel like I'm camping when we are outside with all the trailers around and kids riding bikes all day/night long :) But I like it.. This is coming from a girl who stated before (when I was younger) "I will NEVER live in a trailer" hahaha Funny how ya change when you get older..

I'm always changing...

I've moved again.. I hope this is the last move at least for awhile. I'm sick of moving. Jason, Kobe and I got a house. We got the keys Aug 12th and moved that night and the next day. It was a fast move. Although here it is Aug 19th and I still have 4 more boxes to unpack..

Jason!?! Your probably thinking and maybe even going back through the blog archive "that's not the guy she was with not too long ago.." Or maybe your even thinking *bad thoughts* I really could careless if you are lol but yes I'm with Jason now. Long story short Jason and I hung out in HS.. (he went to BR) we met up again one day and feelings came rushing in... the feelings were mutual and so here we are now.. In love, engaged, and loving life together!

I celebrated my 28th birthday Aug 12th.. well we "celebrated" on Aug 13th, we went out to eat at El Mazatlan then we had people over at our new house. It was a small group but a VERY FUN group. It was Jason and I, Amanda, Josh, Adam, Anna, Jessica, and Matt. My brother is a very funny guy he had us laughing the whole night.. I mean there were times I thought I was going to pee my pants. Times where I thought my jaws were going to have charlie horses. Jason's ribs were sore from laughing.. Adam is a good time let me tell ya.. All of my friends/family are.. we had a good night!
*This is Adam*

*Anna*

*Jessica*

*Josh and Amanda*

I went this morning and got my hair CHOPPED off.. it was way past my bra strap.. I probably had 6 or 7 inches cut off..

Kindergarten

Kobe started Kindergarten this past week (Aug 16th). The first day he was sooo ready to go.. but as we were walking into the school the more he was hesitant. When we got in class he had to act like he was fixing his back pack.. He gets so embarrassed/nervous with new settings. He didn't get that from his momma :) Must be another trait from his "Father". But anywho.. I finally told my Mom that we were just going to have to go (yes I am still a baby and have to have MY Mommy go places with me LOL) *maybe he did get that trait from me* He was fine and didn't cry.. neither did Momma.. well there in the school I didn't... I BAWLED like a baby on the way home. I was so scared for Kobe. THEN to top it off he was riding the bus home *sign*.. about 2:50 I headed to the bus stop, sick to my stomach, praying he WOULD be one of those kids to get off the bus. Waiting for the bus to come... finally here it came at 10 after 3.. he was the 3rd one off and RAN over to me.. He looked so big getting off that big ol yellow bus..

Day #2.. UGH it was almost worse.. although I didn't cry. But when we went into the school NOW they don't go to their class room at first. They go into the gym and sit in a line and wait for the teacher.. I'm guessing they do the pledge of allegiance also since the flags were in there. But any ways.. he did NOT want to go in there. Finally I showed him Harrison was in there and then he was some what okay with going in...

Day #3 (Today) we walk into the school and he is real hesitant again about going into the gym so I walk in there and he just kinda peeks around the door and looks.. and then takes off running into the gym and sits with the boys.

That rotten egg won't kiss me or tell me he loves me inside school LOL Good grief.. he is only in Kindergarten.. I wouldn't think that was soo "uncool" already hahaha..

Emotional basket case

Yeh that's me.. and emotional basket case. Although I saw on a church sign one day "Moses was a basket case too". Makes me feel some what better.. Okay not really. Any how I was on Facebook prior to this post and looking at a friend of mines pictures of her son's first day of Kindergarten. I sat there and tears ran down my face. Every time I clicked on a new pic they came down even harder.. then I started to have a slight panic attack and hyperventilate a little lol. MY "baby" is going to be doing this in 4 days. Before I was all like "WE are BOTH ready for school to start", "WE need a break from each other.", "Its going to be better for BOTH of us to have time apart." WROOOOOOOONG!!! Even tho my son can be a lil stink weed some days we have been together every single day since day ONE.. Even when I worked he went with me to the daycare I worked at. He's been home with ME and Only ME.. its just been us since he was almost 2. No "daddy" just me and Kobe. *Sigh* Seriously where have time gone? 5.5 years have FLOWN by. It doesn't seem possible. But I'm going to pull myself together, fight back the tears and take my "baby" in to school on Tuesday morning. I really need to quit calling my 5 year old "baby" he's a big boy.. Trust me I know this because he has told me SEVERAL times! ;)

Take 2..

Today we went too see Dr. Amy and she up-ed Kobe's medicine to 10mg. He has gained 2 pounds in two weeks.. He's eaten like a crazy man. He'd eat all day if I would let him. He also isn't sleeping well at night.. Well once he gets to sleep he sleeps fine but its getting him to lay down and settle down enough to fall asleep is the problem. He's never been one to not get to sleep. Dr. Amy recommended an all natural pill to help him fall asleep.. Its called melatonin. Your body produces this anyways this just to give your body more of it. We will see how all this will work :)
