Been a while...

Well this has been a week.....

Let's start with , my DH has to get an emergency passport, which cost's more than we have in the bank until he get's paid again, my brake line in my car rusted through, my daughter is going to nursery school next month, to try and help her with her speech delay.

We are going up north for the weekend for a wedding, the funny thing about looking for a dress: I am in the dressing room, where outside of it, I hear my daughter tell the sales lady, as she see's a bin full of bra's...." My mommy put's her boobies in those", and then proceeds to scream at the top of her voice " I have to poop". I am mortified, while being upset I can't find anything to fit right!! It is funny now, but embarrassing while it was happening.

I am so stressed out this week, with everything going on. Sometimes it really does feel like it is too much. It seems like there is NEVER enough money for what we need. My husband works really hard to allow me to stay home. And most times there is enough, just not this week when EVERYTHING is going to SH**.

Toddler Troubles... or as she would say.. BIG GIRL

Well this week has been trying my patience. First, not one but both of our computer a/c adapter's went out, so for 4 days I was without a computer, which i could deal with, but how am I supposed to pay my bills.. LOL snail mail??? I don't even remember the last time I bought stamps!!!

On top of that, my beautiful daughter... has decided it was a good time to start "hitting"! It really throws my husband and myself off, because she is such a sweet natured, caring little 3 1/2 year old. And doesn't have a mean bone in her body. I can deal with tantrums, and door slamming.. LOL but the hitting, is not cool. We don't spank in this household ( not that i disagree with it, for other's... but have tried really hard to make it a rule in our house). The only time she has gotten a swat on the toosh, was when she ran towards the road. So in other words, i don't know where the hitting comes from!!!!!

We have tried the "talking to", "time out", and "disappointed, sad look" ways of dealing with it, and it doesn't phase her....

I nanny, for other family's and when this happens with other kids, I can deal with it, and they listen... but not my Darling Daughter...

HELP!! if anyone has any advise, please let me know.

Make it go away...

Ok so because of genetics.. not because I did not take care of them, at the age of 31, a week ago, i had all my teeth pulled and got dentures. It is an emotional ride.. let me tell you. I wanted them, because I have gotten my teeth fixed, spent so much money, to always end up having them pulled. 

Because of other factors as well... when I was pregnant, with my beautiful daughter, I found out I had cervical cancer. It was a miracle i even got pregnant, but just in time, my cancer was at stage 3 .. the next to the last stage of cervical cancer. I knew this would be my only chance to have a baby, so i decided to go along with the pregnancy, and decide what to do later. So my baby girl saved my life, and took my teeth at the same time.  =D she took all the calcium from my teeth from the inside out. I would give my life for her, and happy to give her my teeth, so she would be healthy. 

So back to the dentures, I am getting used to them. Still unable to eat real food that isn't soft like baby food. However I did not have a problem speaking, like they said I would. But now that a week later my jaw isn't the size of a grapefruit.... they are loose. And I have what they call sore spots...They are like giant canker  sore that every time you move your mouth a piece of hard plastic rubs it's sharp edges along. 

So god willing they will put what they call a soft liner in them to make them fit better and not hurt so bad on my still healing gums where I had all of my teeth pulled.........

All i want is something solid, like a french fry.. is that so much to ask? Especially after this is costing as much as a car?????


Today... is just a day...

It is a day full of stay at home duties... laundry, play dough, pet shops, and dishes... 
I always find it much more satisfying to play with my daughter, than doing dishes. It is a rainy day filled with toys and movies. Hopping that I will get a break when my baby girl takes a nap to do the things that need to be done. If she decides today is a good day for a nap.. LOL

Tomorrow I will head to Flint for yet another dentist appointment, god willing, they get rid of the sore spots!!! But hopefully I will get to see my beautiful nephew Logan, and my sister! \

I think next week i will be returning to nanny duties... and in two weeks we are supposed to go to Joe's aunts cabin for a family get together, and two weeks from that a wedding in Alpena. Abbie is so social, she would love to do both. We (my husband and I) are trying to decide if we are going to do both, we want to, but are also trying to watch money... more now than lately because we want to move closer to my family in the Flint area.!!! So we are either going to upset one side of the family, or decide to do both.. still up in the air. 

The rain is wonderful, and would be more perfect if I could take a nap!

My First

This is my first of hopefully many blogs to come. I am just getting the hang of this new blogging thing. Well, not really new to everyone else but new to me.

I am a 31 year old, wife, and mother from Shelby Twp., Michigan. I am a stay at home mom, who nanny's 3 days a week, durring the school year. It is the best job, and the worst. The best, because i can take my 3 year old daughter with me, and the worst because I am exhausted watching other people's kids!! My husband works really hard so that I can stay home with my daughter, she will be my only one, so i don't want to miss a thing! (more on that later)

That is just a little about me...... stay tuned for more to come! :)
