One proud wifey.

The journey has been long and not always easy, but it was worth it. Today has been an emotional rollercoaster. Train has been working so much, I felt like a single mom this month. He is trying to provide fo rus I know, but that doesn't make it any easier on us. I realize if I was at home I'd be insane. Thankfully I do work outside of the home. I fully give those moms credit where it is due, I'm not sane enough to handle it.


Anywho, things are starting to look up tonight and I'm hoping they continue to do so. Train came home early from his last Thursday class and had exciting news. His final paper that we worked so hard on went great! He also got inducted into the National Honor Society for Techincal schools! How cool is that?! I am so proud of that man. he has made it work, all while working 3 different jobs.

He even made the Deans' List 6 out of 8 quarters! I love him, and even though we don't always get along there is always love. Our families have given not just him, but me the support we needed to keep us afloat on this wild and crazy journey! I can't wait to see where this next chapter leads us. OH!!! I almost forgot a little insight ;-) I have an interview tomorrow!

As for now, I must get our little man off to la-la land where he can sleep peacefully tonight knowing Daddy is home. I'm headed that way shortly with the hubby and Chip ( the lab).Sweet Dreams, and as always,

LOADS OF LOVE!!!
Train's Wife and CJ's Mom.

Things you didn't know.... and now know about this gal! :-)

1. I like pickles way too much. I could eat them every meal. But only dill pickles.

2. People who make noises when they chew like cows need to be sent to eat somewhere away from me. You will notice I'm annoyed by my facial expressions! I will just stare at you.

3. I despise all things that are considered "emo". Get a life losers.

4. I think that people who think they are skinny and aren't and fat hangs out their clothes looks rediculous. They should learn to buy the right size and FAST.

5. Although I am like a fish, I am afraid to look down in murky water. I CANNOT stand the fact that I can't see what's below me.

6. I like the smell of gasoline.

7. People with mullets make me want to scream " You might be a redneck" but at the same time, I cannot take my eyes off them.

8. I randomly shake my butt at any slight music.

9. I like to day dream ALOT. Like I have whole soap operas in my dreams.

10. I am deathly afraid of DARK CLOSETS.

11. I am afraid of complete darkness, yet I sleep with no lights on.

12. I love a scalding hot shower.

13. I wish I was a witch with powers like the Charmed Ones.

14. I wish I had the strength to go to church everyday.

15. I want another baby, although having the fear of having a c-section scares the SH*T out of me.

16. I totally stole the car from my cousin Allana on more than one occassion. We thought were bad-asses.

17. I am jealous over perfectly normal births and hate when people brag about it. It makes me furious to watch Baby Stories, when during the whole maternity leave I would watch it regliously.

18. I have seen the white light....

19. I randomly see ghosts after a stress filled week or day. Usually they are loved ones passed away.

20. I wish I had more true friends.

21. I don't watch scary movies although I am obsessed with any JAWS movie.

22. I wish I was a twin.

23. I wish upon stars often.

24. At one point I was obsesed with saying Amen ( pronounced AH-men, the would say (AY-Men) shortly after.

25. I am slightly O.C.D. I count numbers, shapes and lines, they may never end in an odd number or I will recount again and again.

We came...we saw.... we conquered the first day of Kindergarten!

Well the first day has come and gone. I only cried a little bit as Mom and I left him in his classroom. I couldn't get through my day fast enough. I wanted him to be home so much yet I was excited to have him learning in a real setting and be making friends. It will benefit him more than waiting until he's 6. I cannot believe how grown up he is. he is no longer my little baby, but not my little man. He is such a big talker and so incredibly smart. He just couldn't wait until he got home to tell me about his day. They had music class today and he had chicken nuggets for lunch. He was so excited that he got to meet new kids and have people more his age. Now we're sitting here in the living room of our "lellow" house watchign t.v. getting ready to head to bed. Train has gone to work, and won't be home tonight :-( I have to go back to China-Wally tomorrow and decorate the cakes... I just wish I could move to D town already. I would be sitting with my nephew Carter by now. he's almost 4 months and he's filling out sooo much. He's such a chunky monkey now! Well ta-ta for now! Love Ya!

School time = Mommys gone crazy!

Where do I start? Uh.... Caden starts kindergarten tomorrow! I'm sure I'll be a mess, let me warn you. He's our little man and Mommy's buddy. I'm NOT looking forward to spending my days alone with Chip ( The Chocolate Lab). What will I do by myself? Even though I hate to admit it, I'm looking forward to him telling me about his school day;-) He's my big boy now! Now is alone time with myself. Maybe I'll finish a book or two;-) I'll keep you updated after tomorrow!

Catching up.... The short version!

Where do I start? Do I tell you about Train getting ready to graduate? C starting kindergarten Wednesday? The new house( were renting) from heaven then sent from h*ll! Ok I'll save you details until tomorrow seeing as it's 12:35 a.m. And I'm so tired beyond belief and Trains at my parents because he has to work yet again until 11, then again at 7 a.m. Who makes these horrible schedules you ask? Someone who doesn't have a family is my assumption! I CANNOT wait to find a real house, closer to home and closer so my hubby can sleep soundly net to me!
