Reggie's New Camera

Me being annoyed at reggie for taking the picture. I know I've lost about 20 lbs but when I see the pictures of me now I don't see a difference. I'll fish out an old picture for ya'll to see. Also on Myspace I'm thinking of keeping a picture folder to see my progress. www. myspace.com/gckitten0323. I'd like to be a size 18 or 16 by the time Reggie and I decide to have kids or December of this year...which ever comes first. LOL

Our New house. I love it. :) oh and our focus

My very sexy man :)

again here he is :)

The dog that belongs to the family that I work for. Lizzy is soooo cute :) I wish i could bring her home :)

Me and my baby Acheron. Ash for short.

Ash giving me kisses

A creative endeavor with ash...i missed his face >., but it still looks wicked.

Our baby Mace :)

he's so cute

Reggie's baby Boots :) my tuxedo kitty

Our christmas lights :) pretty good for packing tape holding them up :)

believe it or not this is also our christmas lights :)

again our christmas lights.

The mother in me...

So this new job is WONDERFUL! I couldn't ask for a better job. I feel bad though because I'm not able to teach them as much as I'd like due to their attention span but I'll take what I can get from two Toddler Boys in their Terrible 2s and 3s. Today was better than Monday though. Monday they pushed and pushed and pushed my buttons but I made it through and today was like cake and they were the boys I always babysit. I love them so much. There is only one problem....My wow is suffering. I know I know...I shouldn't care about a game LOL but it sucks because I have 5 hours to myself to have the computer but tonight and last night I'm so exhausted that I'm crashing in my food! I managed to stay awake to visit with family last night but passed out at midnight. And to night whew I'm making mistakes left and right while typing because my eyes are drooping.

This job has also made me aware of just how much I'm ready for mother hood as well as just how much I"m not ready, if that makes any sense to anyone but me. I love the taking care of the boys. Its so rewarding and wonderful but by golly I have so much trouble keeping up with them. Its not even the patience thing. I've got that down pat. But I really have to work on my health first and fore most. Its killing me running around playing tickle monster but then again I'm also working to keep myself from sliding on the hard wood floor so its alot more energy. Thats another blessing in disguise. I"m going to lose sooooo much weight at this job. Not just from the high energy activities but also because I'm eating more than once a day :). No more sumo wrassler diet for me :) I've already lost 20 lbs since christmas by just slowing down when I eat and actually chewing my food. Also I"ve started to cut back on my caffinated beverages and sugar intake.

There is something else that I've decided. Reggie and I are waiting till i can be a stay at home mom. There is no way I could do the mom thing and work. Two boys, or rather children, is more work than an 8 hour retail job sheesh. But I've gotten them to where all i have to do is start counting and they stop what they are doing that they know is bad :). I'm going to enjoy this job till april :). Whish me luck with 1, 2 buckle my shoe and 10 little indians tomorrow :) oh and the loverly joy of making pizza with them. Gonna teach them ovals with it. Or maybe we could make an octagon pizza. Daniel is doing so well with that shape :) I think its his favorite. he points it out everywhere. LOL

Anyway I'm going to bed now. I'm sure this blog makes not sense to anyone but me but hey i'm tired and thats my exuse...whats yours *giggle* jk

You know you are an insomniac when...

when you have to get up at 6 am and its 3 am and you aren't even remotely sleepy. *sigh* Well I guess I can post a smidget of a blog :)

I'll post some pictures of reggie and I this christmas. Hopefully we'll have enough to set aside soon for some professional pics. We haven't even gotten our engagement photos yet...I'm hoping we can go to a decent place for pictures and get some more poses than the normal ones they do at wally world. Don't get me wrong I've had some beautiful pictures at walmart but...I want some extrodinarily good pictures for these ones since they will be our first professional ones together. :) Anyway here are some we took with Reggie's phone....


No we're not drunk..Actually I was in a bad mood when we took these and this was his way of actually getting me to smile in a picture...how sweet huh :)


Me trying to actually look decent ina photo. My hair looks like crap :*(

The love of my life :) He's the best man I have ever been with :)

Our cute little tree. Its so pretty you can't really tell here. I wish we had a digi camera.



I had too much free time LOL

I thought this one turned out nice :) and its his favorite movie too so now he's my jedi master :)

Anxiousness

Well I start my new job bright and early tomorrow morning. I'm so excited. I can't wait. But thats not what I wanted to blog about...dun dun dun. I just found out that there is a tenth night world book that might have been published in 2006 called Strange fate by LJ smith and I can't find it anywhere. If by chance someone stumbles across this blog and knows of a place to find it or knows if the 2006 date never followed through let me know. I"m soooooooo P.O.ed right now. I want to know who makes it out of the apoclolyps if anyone does. GRRRR... don't you hate that about series when they stop abruptly? *sigh*


Oh and natalie thanks for the comment. Its making me think. I did read it and it helped alot thank you.

Merry Christmas!!!
Happy Yule!!
Merry Winter Solstice!

Hope all of you have a wonderful day!

Thoughts...

So I was thinking. Yes I know, not something I do a lot. (jk inside joke with my fiance.) And I realized just how many people I've known through out my 22 years of existence and then I realized just how many of those people I still know and talk to to day. I started thinking about all the people I thought I would have in my life forever and just how fleeting their moment in the movie of my life was. I started thinking of old friends who haven't taken the time to find me online, old boyfriends, and old enemies. I started thinking alot about that phrase "what if" a lot as well. Its really amazing when you follow that thought through to think of how your life would have changed. If I hadn't moved to Georgia, would I have ever met my fiance? Or would I have made a life with someone in Utah? Or would I have grown old next to my best friend as old betty's with 100 cats to keep us company? So many out comes to think about. There are so many people in my life that I'm greatful for and so many things I wouldn't change. There are also people who were in my life who I some times think about and wonder how they are and what they are doing. Its just a sobering thought when you think about it. All the friends I had in College that I thought would be in my life for years really only lasted a year or two. I managed to get away from my college expirence with one friend. When I was in Highschool and Jr. High I coudln't even begin to count the number of friends I had that I thought were close to me, and now I can count on one hand. (Tia you are on that hand don't worry :) and Natalie I'd like to think that you are there too. I wish I knew you and your family better. And I'll say this again for the hundreth time. Copeland is way too cute for his own good :)) I guess this all comes from being alone where I am. I don't have anyone to go out with and have a girls night out. I guess I could go out with Reggie's friend Lizzy but then I usually feel like she's just doing him a favor. Its just really lonely here. Maybe I should join a book club or some thing when we get on our feet. Who knows. Maybe I'm just destined to be by myself save for my family. Which hoping its in gods plan will start expanding next year. I really hope Reggie can find a goooooood job. Here's hoping next Christmas I'm writing about my pregnancy.

Merry Christmas to all who actually read this and Have a wonderful new year.
