Birthday, New Apartment.... tired...

Love this picture. Other than that, not loving very much. I love living out "on my own" again, but i do not enjoy still having no job, being frustrated with a lot of things, not knowing answers to things, not having all my furniture, and fighting with people.

My bithday went alright but my roomate's boyfriend decided that 3 hours before my party he should break up with her. And so most of my party became about making sure she was okay. Which is fine I'm not a diva, but I just want one year where everything is about me. LOL. I guess next year when I turn 25 right? Ick, 25..... blah. Oh my goodness its coming fast. Alright, well I am tired. So nighty night!

We have the internet!!

So Larry JUST fixed my computer to get the internet again, though I shouldn't stay on too long, since Megs just fell asleep sitting in her chair since I'm sorta on her bed...

Pics of the apartment to come, as we get it more sit up...

Still need most of our furniture.

Yucky day.

Busy Busy Busy

In 2 days we get keys to our apartment. I am nervous, excited, feeling unprepared.... I just want to go now and paint paint paint!!!!!!!! I am so so so super excited!!! And I am hopefully going to get a job soon! My birthday is a week away and I get to spend it with friends! Which is awesome!! Really not much to say, just a lot to do, and will update ASAP with pics of the apartment!!

Oh say does that star spangled banner yet waaaaaave....

I hope everyone had a wonderful Independence Day!!!! Ours was fabulous. Becca was so good all day, took a long nap, and then once Meghan got off work we got ready and drove to pick up friends and head to the river. We parked in an alright location and walked down to the river front. We picked an AWESOME spot to sit (except for the darn ants!!!) and we listened to the music and talked. Then Larry joined us, and Logan and her brothers, and also Amy and Kris. Once it got dark and the fireworks started, Becca clung to me, but before that, she was all about anyone but me. She made a new friend with the little boy who was next to us who was so so so cute!!! Becca LOVED the fireworks!!!!! I can't wait for next year when she ooohs and aaahhhs. She clapped at most of them before the big ones started and she was clinging to me but she was still super interested. We tried to cover her ears but her response to that seemed to be "get off me it's part of the experience woman!!!"

On another note, Becca has learned to say "NO!!" not only that but it's "NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!" while wildly shaking her head. It's actually funny, but of course I had to NOT laugh so that she doesn't continue to do it. Kind of like ignoring her temper tantrums. This mom thing is getting easier, and yet I know it's about to get a WHOLE LOT TOUGHER too. Today I filled out my petition for revisal of our court stuff so that I can move (as if Brett's going to say "no Patty, do not move only 8 minutes away with our daughter. How dare you!") And tomorrow, more job applications (even though by next week I should be hearing from the place I am waiting for).

I would post pictures, but my computer is being as mean to me as my homosexual exboyfriend douchebag. :)

Until next time...

Confused Beyond Belief & More Adventures in Potty Training

Potty Training, day 5. We have still yet to actually pee on the potty again, although she knows when she has to go. Last night I had her in her big girl panties, and she ran to the bathroom 4 times. I went with her, helped her pull her panties down, she sat on the toilet for a few mintues then got up and pulled her pants up. After the 4th time, we were sitting in the living room and she just peed and then stood up and said "Uh-oh" and tried to take her panties off. The kid may not be a genius, but she's catching on to this stuff pretty quick. Now it's just a matter of getting her to go pee in the potty.

In other Becca news, she is doing really well finally adjusting to being dropped off at school and spending time with Daddy. She stayed the night Tuesday with him and he said she did really good, only really whined a couple times and slept through the night. Now if only she would continuously sleep through the night at home. As for her temper tantrums, I have started to completely ignore them. I find that she gives up faster that way, and I think I will continue to do this when she throws tantrums.

As for the confused part, I don't want to post too much because I don't know who reads this. All I know is that I have feelings for someone and I can't make them go away. And I need to make them go away because this person is taken and I can't have them. But I have so much fun with them that it just makes me wonder more.

Also... we get keys in 16 days!!
