Trip To Alamo

So I went to visit my Mom in Alamo this weekend and I took my niece Jaidyn with me. She is so cute and she was so good even though she's only 10 months old. It was fun. I don't go to Alamo as often as I should because I always think that I'm too busy and that I have too much to do here at home to go. My Mom and Grandma were totally waiting on me like I was a princess or something. I got awesome food and my Grandma wouldn't even let me help with the dishes. She told me that I should go rest. I was only there from Friday night to Saturday afternoon. This time I would have stayed longer if I hadn't had the baby with me. She was getting homesick so I figured I better get her back home. Jaidyn was so cute the whole time we were there. We played a lot and had a really good time. She even took a couple of steps by herself and was standing up by herself for a little bit. I figure she'll be walking any day now. She didn't sleep very well cause I think she missed her Mom and Dad (who let her sleep in the bed with them by the way) but other than that she was great. I also got to see Tyson and Ryan my two cute nephews. They are so funny except that they fight all the time. I know that all siblings do this but sometimes it drives me crazy. They just can't stop touching each other or just doing anything they can to annoy the other one. They are cool though. Tyson came back inside to give me a hug and kiss goodbye all on his own. He was going through this phase for a while where he didn't want to give me hugs or kisses and when I would tell him that I loved him he would kind of ignore me. Luckily he got through that though cause now he willingly tells me that he loves me and gives me hugs and kisses. I love it!!! Ryan seems to be going through the non-lovey phase right now but at least I know that he should get over it soon just like Tyson did. They are fun and I'm excited because I am taking them to Disneyland for their birthdays in March. We go every year and it's really fun but it gets better each year as they get older because they are able to do more and can enjoy it more. We might go to Sea World too cause Tyson really wants to go there and I figure we might as well while we are already in S. CA. Well I've obviously gotten off of the subject of my trip to Alamo but basically I did the same thing that I always do which was eat and sleep. I feel very relaxed when I go to my Mom's house so I just want to lay around and do nothing but eat. I really don't like to go anywhere but my family's houses because I don't like to run into other people from Alamo. It's stupid but I feel like they are always judging me and I don't want anyone talking about how fat I have gotten. I don't know why I would think that anyone would even give me a second thought but smal towns sometimes have nothing else to do but gossip and I don't want it to be about me. Well enough about Alamo. I'm going to go to bed now.

If Only

I have decided that if I only worked part time or like a normal full time job then I would be a much better wife. I only worked 6 hours today cause I had a Dr. appointment and I went to the grocery store, cooked dinner, did the dishes, etc... Normally after 10-12 hours at work and then a 2 hour round-trip commute I get home and do not do any domestic chores. I even bought a big thing of the trail mix that Kody likes and seperated it out into baggies for him to take to work because he usually buys the little $.99 ones every day. Not only did I put it in baggies, but I took out all of the almonds, which he doesn't like. Another thing I would do if I didn't work so much is exercise. I feel like such a slob all of the time but I can not get myself to work out after I get home. I also have a hard time getting up early to exercise. Especially because when I get up early I feel like I should just get ready and go into work early so that I can maybe get caught up. Third on my list of things that I would do if only I didn't work so much is finish writing my book. I actually started a fictional novel and would really love to finish it someday and see if I can get it published. Talking about the book made me think of something else that I would do and that would be to finish my masters degree. I got most of the way through my masters degree in business but I kept missing class because I would be needing to work late. I only have about 4 classes left to finish but I keep putting it off because I don't want to pay for and then have to drop a class again. Some of you are probably saying to yourselves that I could be doing some of these things right now instead of complaining about it but as I told you before I only worked 6 hours today and that is why I have extra free time. Since I will probably work twice that tomorrow and thereafter then it doesn't make sense to start a long-term project today. So now that I have expressed some of the things that I would do if I didn't work so much I am going to go and get ready for work tomorrow.

My Dogs

So as I said in my profile, I have two very adorable Jack Russell Terriers. Molly who is 4 years old and Yogi who is 1. We treat the dogs like people and they are really spoiled. Everyone is always laughing at me about my dogs but I can't help it because I really love them so much. Right now our friend is living with us and he has a red nose pit bull named Honey. She is the sweetest dog in the whole world. I love her like my own dog now and she gets the same spoiled treatment as the other two. They will be moving out in two weeks and I will miss her. Luckily they are just moving a couple of blocks away so I will see her a lot still. Molly and Yogi love her too and I know they will be sad when she leaves. They all play together really well. Molly is like a diva princess and she thinks that she's the boss of the house. She will get really moody sometimes and if she gets mad at someone she won't look or come around them for a while. She will really just completely ignore you if she's mad. It's kind of funny. She's pretty mellow now that she's a little older but she still acts like a Jack Russell (crazy). Yogi is like a free spirit. He is the happiest dog in the world and just runs around like an idiot most of the time. He never gets mad at anyone and he is very affectionate. He's still pretty hyper but he is also a cuddler. My dogs LOVE our pool. If you throw one of the toys Molly will do a flying swan dive into the pool to get it. Yogi likes to fetch the toys too but he mostly just goes for a swim whenever he gets hot or bored. A lot of days when we get home from work Yogi will be floating on a raft in the pool. He just jumps onto the raft and floats around napping or just hanging out. I swear if I had the life of these dogs I would be the happiest person in the world. I am taking them to the groomer to get a bath today and they HATE it so bad. As soon as we pull up they start shaking and trying to get in the back of the car so that I can't reach them. They do the same thing at the vet. Yogi cries every time we go there. BABIES!!! Well enough about them for right now. I'm sure there will be much more about them in subsequent blogs because I talk about them alot. They also get in trouble a lot so I'm sure I will be venting about them quite often. Bye for now.

Sunday's Suck

So I wasn't sure what a blog even was but everyone seems to be doing it so I figure I'll give it a try. It seems like it would be cathartic and I could certainly use a place to vent. I HATE Sunday's. I don't really know what to do with myself and all I can think of his how I have to go to work again in the morning. I feel like a big fat cow today. I have to start doing some excercise and eating better or I'm going to weigh 1,000 lbs. I don't even want to get dressed every morning because I feel so disgusting. Of course it doesn't stop me from eating like a pig but then I always regret it. So Kody and I were supposed to go on this cruise in February with our neighbors but now Kody can't get the time off from work for it. It makes me kind of sad but hopefully my sister will be able to go with me. I really hope she is able to cause it would be fun for the two of us to go on a trip like that together. Yesterday my two sisters and their significant others and my two nephews and my niece went with me to the circus. It was actually really cool. I had a good time. The boys are so funny cause they are 5 and 7 years old so they are always saying funny stuff. Jaidyn, my niece, is so cute. She's only 9 months old but she is so good. She was at the circus for like 3 hours and then we went out to eat and she was so good the whole time. Well I know that this was totally random but I just had a few things to say while trying out this whole blogging thing.
