Life on Christmas Eve

Well it's the holiday. My sister is fussing because the outside decorations aren't done, the leaves we raked are still in piles, the pretzels are not enough to feed 22 snacking people, and our kid (16 months) keeps making a mess. She's 20 almost 21. I yelled and said she can either take my help which I was doing (up at 5 making cookies for them too) or I'll leave it. So I left her to do it all and watched dr who. Totally cool lol. Well anyway, happy holidays

Today

Today my husband and I got a new bed. It was free. I had to get the oil changed and while there I talked to a lady who was telling me about her sons problems. I gave her a coupon for 5 dollars off next formula purchase and also 5.50 worth of coupons for her next purchase. I gave our tree and some decorations that never make it on the tree when it's up to a family who had nothing. It felt great.

New craft :) happy mommy

crazy

holy crap its been a roller coaster of emotions. I got on the antidepressant and have been able to do so much more than when i was not on it.  I however, have still had my moments where i just need a break.  I got the help of one of z's girlfriends to watch him for two hours twice a week or so so that i could have some time to me. 
I have been doing nanowrimo, but i have fallen behind.  it is hard with a kiddo.  out of the 50 k words i need by the 30th, i am only at 23k.  oh well the important thing is that i started it!! :) it is a great novel in my opinion.

VOTE and other things

Today, I had the luxury of sleeping until noon. yea my kid actually slept for that long!!  8 pm to noon. OK so on to the important things.  I made a list of things to do: laundry, litterbox, dishes, trash, vote, mail out a payment for a bill, our bedroom, and try a new recipe. 
Anyways, i did a load of laundry, and some dishes while z played.  I gathered up all the trash and put it in the right spot so garrett could take it out when he got home.  z and i got dressed and mailed out our payment, went to the thrift store, and voted.  We also went to subway for lunch and i loved his excitement over cheetos. 
the new recipe was called tomato basil pasta nest.  I accidentally burned the sauce because i had to stop cooking and rescue a library book from an untimely death by one year old.  Was still pretty good though, dinner not the book.  poor thing.
When garrett got home, i did another load of dishes and he did another load of laundry.  He did the litterbox and took out the trash.
So, TADA!!

Also, i have participated in NanoWrimo again this year and i am at 4165 words out of 50k.  getting there!

wreath

i made this wreath today.  while it isnt the best in the world, i enjoy it.

Disaster

Kiddo won't eat. He's being clingy. He wants held. Not taking to time out very well either :/
