spring cleaning day
Tomorow is our spring clean day which we need becuase when we moved in the old owners left so much stuff behind. I was able to clean out the garage and reorganize somethings. I put out a lot of large things like Jades old bunkbed (which from the move was missing all the screws and sean had thrown out the slide a few years ago) Jades old bike, DVD rack, a bar stool, a old hanging lamp and a couple of car seats and then a ton of bagged stuff.
Well the roofers left some boxed stuff out and it was rainning, so I went and moved the two boxes to under the porch and I would say half of our pile is gone. It is great. I love to know that even though we couldn’t use or didn’t need the stuff, someone does and they didn’t feel scared to take it. I wish I would of seen them becuase the bed had these really cool tent things that were in the grabage bag next to the pile. But I know they didn’t want to be seen. My MIL tried to take a rocking chair that was in someones garbage pile and when she got the nerve up to actualy take it, it was gone. So no baby rocker yet, but we still have s few months.
INVADED!
Ok so the first sign of the invasion was the monster spider in the kitchen a few days ago. I made myself believe that it was dead….(even though I really knew it wasn’t) The mouse poop in the spoon drawer and the closer I looked today EVERYWHERE in my kitchen…. Back to the spider, I picked jade up from the bus and walked in the front door and I was headed to the bathroom upstairs and noticed the spider sitting atop of the stair case glearing at me. ok maybe not really… So I knew it was my chance to “take care”of it. Jade (thinking the spider is dead) tries running past me while doing the pee-pee dance. I stood in front of the stairs and directed him down stairs (trilevel house) I killed the spider and sent it outside hopefully to never see it again. (karma)
Last night I was sitting on the chair diligantly working on Aubreys blanket. I looked up to see a GIANT raccoon staring at me. So I got calies attention and I thought she would scare it and the thing would run away. No not really. The raccoon could of cared less about the dog. I watched the raccoon as it curiously looked though the glass. I noticed that it wasn’t walking on its back foot, so I was like it’s hurt needs some sort of attention, but who do I call??? 911??? No, she didn’t care. While I was trying to figure out this stupid raccoon’s problem, I looked out the window again and it was gone. I sat back down and saw something moving on the lattice outside….It was the raccoon. Somehow this stupid thing climbed on top of the balcony and was hanging out. After seeing that I could of cared less about it’s stupid foot. Appearently it is not bother it. Two hours later it was gone.
I let Calie out to use the bathroom and she went to the bushes and she found a rat.
Today after Jades baseball game (he got his second run today) I was going to put a liner in the garbage can and a little tiny mouse was stuck in the garbage. AUGH. Do I kill it or let it go???? This isn’t a spider, I can’t just kill the mouse. So I left it in the garbage and thought about it. I ended up take the garbage outside and the little mouse was let go. I know that it probably will end up inside the house again, but we are going to put decon out.
As of now, this is everything, but I think I am done. All these little varmens can hang out at someone else place. (from what my neighbor said, the mice in her house hang out behind the dishwasher and she catches them and then lets them go again. SOMEONE needs to kill these little things, or we are going to keep getting them….)
SPIDER!!!!
So I am sitting down stairs typing an email to Heather, Seans sister, and Jade jumps down the stairs screaming. I thought he saw a mouse (which I found dropings in our spoon drawer….) But oh he saw a spider that he said was as big as his Alvin and the Chickmunks CD. I was like calm down, there is no spider in the house that big. SO I asked him to show me (which I HATE spiders, but I need to be calm so I don’t escalate the situation) and sure enough this spider WAS HUGE. I didn’t want to step on it, becuase it would of gone everywhere and so I asked Jade to go and get something to squirt it with. Three objects later, I went to spray it and it was GONE! I couldn’t believe it. Finally it ran out of its hiding place and I sprayed hair spray at it and then it was gone again. Deep into the crack of the dish washer. UGH. Probably to double in size and take over my kitchen. The next time I see that thing, I am sure it is going to be the size of the Spider in Lord of the Rings.
Finding a “cup”
I took Jade tonight to find a cup at Big 5 and the guy kept asking me all sorts of questions, I had no clue. Poor Jade was just standing there and I asked him if he want a cup that had special underwear or one that had straps. LOL. He just looked at me and was like stop talking and just grabbed the underwear one. I asked if he needed to try it on and he was looked at it and then thought and was like no, were good. Oh the things that Dad’s need to do. But we made it through it. We even picked up a few extra items.
Crocheting Class
On Sat. I went to the class and learne how to do it. I called grandma today and got the pattern for the blankets. Which is a really good thing I did, because it is one she sorta made up. I am going to go to the store tomorrow and get some flannel and make a test blanket.
I also found a really cute quilt that I want to make for the baby. At the store there was a home made one and the lady wanted 70 for it. I think I can make one, way cheaper then that. So to keep my mind off sean being gone the next three weeks, I am going to break in my sewing machine that I have never used.
Jades First Game
Well tonight was Jades first baseball game. He did so great. It was funny to watch him in Soccer because they really had no clue what they were doing and sorta goofed off in the back field, but he was really focused and enjoyed playing. The first time he was up at bat he swung at all the pitches, but he tried and when the said he was out, he was pretty upset and started to cry, but Stephanie went over there and talked to him. Then when he was up at bat again, he hit the ball and got to first. He was so excited. He help get a guy out on first by catching the ball and tossing it to second.
After the five inning game it was out to ice cream. (Even though it was freezing and almost rainning, but hey, got to celebrate…right?) The game ended in a tie, 8-8 which was really good because the biys were way ahead and then somehow the other team came back. Jades team caught up and showed they weren’t going to give up.
His next game is on Wed. The only thing we forgot was his cup. which ment that he could be catcher, so we will get it figured out by then…..I hope Jade knows how to wear one…..LOL.. oh to be a boy,.
Christmas party
My Unit has a Christmas Party every year, so we decided to go and this is the picture that was taken. Sean didn’t see the clothes that I had laid out for Jade when he was getting dresses. 
: (
And it Starts!!!!
OK, So being in the Military and being Female, if you get pregnant when you have to get counciled. During the counciling, you have the option of being seperated from the service. With Sean deploying and with all the Jade things and with the baby on the way, I have decided that I will be seperated from the service.
All of which is no secret to anyone that I work with and around during my drill weekends. Today I was approached by the Chief of Staff, (he is the bosses,bosses boss) about my plans and where I wish to end up. My unit as a whole is disestablishing and so everyone needs to find homes anyways. But my job in the military is also going away, so I need to find a new job also.
But anyways, so before I could tell the COS what my plan was, he told me what my plan was. I mean everything sounds really good on paper, but I really truely have to think about my family. I will not depoly (since you never know) leaving a baby and jade. That is not my idea of what a mom should do (if she doesn’t HAVE to be in the military.)
Parrots or Pirates?
-
- Rotan Island
Our Second stop on the trip was the Rotan Islands. It is part of Hondurs and one of my favorite countries. Sean and I thought that it would be fun for Jade to hang out with monkeys and birds. Well we had fun with the animals. Jade didn’t really care for any of it until we got to the pirates cave. The cave reminded me of something that a knock of disneyland would of had. But the day was for Jade and he got to be a “pirate”
Toilet Problems??
Jade has had a recent more reoccuring problem with the toilet. For some reason….. HE clogs his toilet weekly. I don’t understand. But I was in the middle of writting my first blogg and I heard him taking the lid of the toilet, I asked him if it was clogged and he said, “I was just checking??” Checking in the tank??? Hmm…So he thought that the tank contained all the “stuff” LOL…Oh geez.
