One of the Joys

One of the Joys of being a parent is being able to dress your child up in outfits that you think are fun.

Bad News

This past weekend was a lot of fun. The weather was amazing, so Coy and I went for a long walk on Saturday and again on Sunday. Coy outgrew all of his nine month clothes and some of his twelve month clothes over the weekend. I know that sounds silly, but it really is true. He literally grew overnight!

Today was a rainy downer of a day. I went to the dentist where I received the bad news that I have five cavities. Apparently pregnancy did a number on my teeth...that combined with not flossing regularly. JR continually clowned me all day and called me jank mouth. Then proceeded to tell me that "he would be really embarrassed of me if any of my teeth fell out". I guess that was his way of encouraging me to take better care of my teeth.

On my way home from work today I was almost ran off the road by a sheriff's deputy who was driving like a maniac down the road. I later found out that the reason was because a police officer was shot twice during a traffic stop and the shooter then committed suicide.

Three Day Weekends

I love three day weekends. They are so refreshing! This past weekend was really nice. It was a family time weekend and family time is my absolute favorite! Coy is becoming so much fun. He has learned to play and interact with us. JR and I fake laugh a lot to try to encourage him to laugh(since hearing him laugh is the greatest thing on Earth). Now Coy fake laughs at us to get our attention. It is so funny.

He has recently discovered his feet and is obsessed with them. He especially likes his pajamas, since they have little monsters and dogs on the footies. He is also rolling over. That trick isn't going so well though, since rolling over seems to scare him.

Well, gotta go. I need to start trying to figure out quickbooks.

In The Spirit Of....

....Valentine's Day, I think I will talk about a few things that I hate. I'm just kidding, but not really.

I do feel a little guilty being so negative around a time that is supposed to be about hearts, flowers, and chocolate, but I do have a few things to gripe about from the past week.

For instance, I cannot stand the fact that my co-workers refuse to change the empty roll of toilet paper in the bathroom. I think that most people who have a job in America have had that same complaint at some point...especially if you are the type of person that actually works at your job. It is true that 20% of the people do 80% of the work. I am a little bitter for more than one thing in case it isn't obvious.

Also, how is it that the freezer at our workplace had something disgusting everywhere in it? Well, I know...it's because someone decided to put their coke in the freezer, then forgot about it, which caused it to explode, and then they left the Jackson Pollock style mess for everyone to see. How nice!! This of course caused me to have to send a "please clean the refrigerator/freezer, it is every one's responsibility" memo around. It's hard to be direct when you don't know who did it. But it did give me the opportunity to voice it openly and it opened the door for me to talk about how I hate when people don't replace toilet paper when it runs out and how that is so super lazy. Maybe the culprit felt a little silly.

Last, what is up with people today? I am starting to think that some people aren't actually human. For example: In some city in America this week, there was a woman that decided to beat another woman to death in the subway. All while three security guards "observed", because that is all that their job requires them to do. Several things are wrong with this. First, I will say that I think the woman that was beaten is actually okay. However, it was clear that the woman that beat her had no care at all whether she was okay, it seemed like she didn't mind if the woman died and seemed to desire just that. Also, just watching it made me feel so upset. I wanted to jump in and save the woman getting kicked in the head. I am a small person, but the "human" side of me didn't even think of the danger...only thought of helping this person that was getting murdered while laying on the ground helpless. The three really large security guards did absolutely NOTHING! People just don't care. What takes a person to the point that the do not care whether they kill someone or watch someone being killed? It made me truly sad!

On a lighter note...I am happy that it is Saturday and that Valentine's Day falls on a weekend this year. I love being with the people that I love and that love me. Happy Valentine's Day!!!!

Happy Birthday To My Sweet Husband

Happy Birthday to my sweet husband JR! You are the best husband and daddy. Now for a more interesting story about you....

Most people, including JR, were unaware until last night's events that JR is, in fact, a NC Tar Heels fan.

At about 10 o'clock JR and I were getting ready to go to bed. I heard him yelling from our bedroom..."oh, no! Oh, no! Come quick! Oh my gosh!" I really didn't panic, because he has been known to dramatize things, but I quickly went to investigate the situation. What I found was JR standing on the side of our bed with a very distraught look on his face. I went around to look and I saw that he had stepped in an enourmous pile of dog poop/vomit that was waiting for him.

To attempt to laugh the situation off we decided that he looked like a true NC tar heels fan, since only the heel of his foot was covered in black poopy vomit.

We decided not to take a picture.

Anyway, I love you JR and Happy Birthday, again. I am hoping that you don't step in anything gross today!
