The dentist.

Eve went to the dentist for the first time.  I was totally nervous that we were going to get yelled at because we waited so long to take her because we never had dental insurance until now.  I also thought we would get yelled at because I thought she had a cavity in every tooth.  Her mouth looked like a mess even though we brush everyday and most days we brush at least twice.  Well she only has one real cavity and one that is really close to being a cavity because of some decay so they are going to scrap part of the tooth and fill it with a sealant.  I know that sounds horrible but in reality the dr. said that he was surprised there wasn't more damage.  Eve has a really tiny mouth and her teeth are really crammed in there and because of this she is going to be prone to tooth decay.  We have to brush and floss 3 times a day and they said we can expect to go see an orthodontist as soon as her permanent teeth come in.  Milo gets to go with her for her next appointment.  That should be interesting since he can't stand people like Dr. touching him.

Eve loved the dentist and is already looking forward to going back.  I am happy she enjoyed it.  I am nervous that when she goes back on Sept 10 for her filling though because she will need to be put under.  For some reason it freaks me out.

10 random facts.

1.  When I was little my mom thought I went missing in the middle of the night but really I was playing in the dark basement.

2.  I fell asleep in a hotel bathtub and flooded my room.

3.  My husband is my life. 

4.  I get touched out easily and need my space.  For some reason when I get like this my husband and kids can not keep their hands off of me.  I think they really just want to see me have a nervous breakdown one day.

5.  I tell my family I have a secret about every five minutes.  The secret is always that I love them. 

6.  I feel like there is often two sides of me and that I am constantly struggling to let both sides show.  I have a crazy fun side and a totally reserved side.  There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of middle ground.

7.  I finally got someone to cut my hair how I wanted it cut.  It is a really dramatic bob cut.  I refer to it as the woman's mullet.  Because if you see me from the front it looks normal and if you see me from the side it looks crazy.  So I am business in the front and party in the back.  It fits my personality.

8.  I feel like I talk about myself a lot when I am around others.  For me it is to let them know I relate to them but sometimes I feel like they think all I think about is me.  This is one of my biggest social fears because really I am much more concerned about others than myself.

9.  I love reggaeton music.

10.  I had a bunch of random jobs growing up.  I sold souvenirs for the Brewers, was a cab dispatcher, worked as a server at a 4 star restaurant, worked on a farm, was a summer camp counselor, and worked in a daycare.  I love the diverse experiences I got growing up and loved that my parents never forced me to get a job so that I could take whatever random job suited my interest at the time.

I was lost and now am found.

I was going to write this huge series of posts about how I was feeling really lost and just riding along in life and then finally I feel like in the last 3 months I have slowly been coming out of my haze and getting back into life but it was long and I am not sure it made any sense so here were some main ideas that tell you how I feel.

I went to an amazing work training.
I like my new school.
I love and adore my husband.
I love and appreciate my kids.
I am living in nirvana.
Life is grand.

A boy who needs some help.

My prayers are with this family as they are on a very difficult journey.

Happy Easter

Life had been crazy & good.

It feels like forever since I have had enough time to even think lately.  We have been busy working opposite shifts, carting Eve to soccer practice, games, CCD classes, and a bunch of playdates.  We are also in the slow process of getting ready to move but like I said it is going SLOW.
We took both kids to the Dr. on Friday and Eve was 33lbs and 40.5 inches and Milo was 19 lbs. 30.5 inches.  I can't believe how big they are getting.  Milo is already wearing 24 month clothes and has 5 teeth.  Eve has been getting so smart and writing lots of words and is just full of questions. 

I really couldn't be happier at the moment unless I could quit my job (which is the only thing causing me true stress right now.) and spending more time with Adam.  Absence truly does make the heart grow fonder because goodness gracious do I miss him like crazy.  My weekends can't come fast enough and stay long enough to spend quality time with him.

It's been awhile.

I don't know why I haven't been posting.  Life has just been busy.  Adam switched to working nights which is nice because it he gets more money for working nights but it sucks because pretty much only see him on the weekends.  I miss him like crazy but know for right now this is what we need to do.  He had an interview this week to change the job from a temporary position to a permanent job.   

Adam sent me on  scavenger hunt for my birthday gift even though my birthday isn't until the end of this month.  He got me a new computer and I love it.  He had to give it to me early because he had 30 days to return it if I didn't like it.  I love it and it is not going anywhere.

Both Eve and Milo have a sinus infection and an ear infection.  We kept Eve out of school all week and she still sounds kind of crappy.  Milo is on the mend.  My children are so different.  Eve is constantly asking for more medicine I have never seen a kid who loves medicine even the kinds that don't taste good.  Milo freaks out every time I pull out the dropper.  They are on the exact same medicine and their reactions are so different.

We started cloth diapering Milo.  Adam was really opposed but I said I didn't care and was going to get some anyway.  I found a program where I could return them within 30 days if I wasn't happy so I figured I could try it and if I didn't like it I could get my money back.  Adam is now officially on board.  Now I just need to get my mom on board and we will be good to go with getting rid of disposables for good.  I will probably make a separate post about it at a later time if anyone is interested. 

 Eve was supposed to have her first soccer game this week but they had to cancel because the fields have been so wet since we have had a ton of rain.  As long as it doesn't keep raining she will have her first practice on Tuesday and then her first game next Saturday.  We are all so excited.

I started an after school tutoring program for the 9th graders at our school.  I had 75 9th graders volunteer to come for an hour after school twice a week.  I am so excited about it but since I have to track all the students it has meant more paper work for me so I have been extra busy at work with it.

So pretty much we have just been busy and by the time I get on the computer each night I am exhausted and can't put a coherent thought together.  We are starting to get a routine down so hopefully life gets a little less hectic.
