Happy Halloween!

This is the 1st Halloween for my little girl to go trick or treating! She really doesn't understand, but I am very excited! She is going to be dressed up as a butterfly, and I can't wait to see her in her little costume. We are only going to go to a few houses to go trick or treating and maybe make a trip out to my paarents house to trick or treat there so they can see her. I'll try to get some pictures up soon if I can find the cord for my camera!

Kiss My A**

I really have a strong dislike for people who can do nothing but complain. I serve on two different groups at school for which I get no additional compensation. I work my butt off and on Friday I really got ticked because the same individual could do nothing but make complaints about both groups. Of course, that individual does not serve on either group, and I just have this to say... "If you think you can do it better, then step right up and do it!" Otherwise you can kiss my big fat a**!

How did THAT happen?!?!

My little girl is 18 months old today! I just can't believe it. How quickly all this time has flown. She is getting to be such a big girl now, talking away, running everywhere and definitely developing a personality all her own. She is so strong willed and self confident and I hope she continues to be a strong as she grows up as she is today.



I took this picture of her in her bassinet just over a week ago before I sold it at our garage sale. I had to keep telling myself that it is just a thing, but it was really hard to let it go. I cried, which I am not sure why I did, but I guess it was just the realization that she isn't a little baby anymore. I love this little girl more than anything and as much as I have enjoyed the time while she has been small, I also look forward to seeing the incredible young woman that I know she is going to grow up to be.

We did it!

We bought the house... or should I say the plot of dirt. We signed the contract for a nice brand new house to be built within the next six months. So, now the fun begins. Within the next two weeks we have to make ALL of our selections: paint, carpet, tile, cabinets, doors, trim, lighting, etc, etc..... Tomorrow we have a meet and greet scheduled with the builder, but that is only supposed to take a few minutes. But that is the guy I am sure we will be talking a lot to! The design center hasn't called yet to make our appointment to make all of our selections so we are a bit antsy about that, considering the time frame in which we must make all the decisions and I really don't want to make any final decisions the first time we go there. Anyway, I am sure a lot of my ranting over the next 6 months or so will be about this whole process, because from what I hear, it can be an unpleasant experience!

As far as everything else goes, things are going pretty well. I still love my job, my little girl is awesome, and me and the hubby are even doing well. So, I really don't have anything to bitch about... for now!
