Connor And The Cold

This poor kid just can't catch a break! He has a cold now and he's miserable. Poor guy! I have to constantly suck snot out his nose and it's NASTY because it doesn't just suck it up into the bulb, it drags it out the nose so there's this big snot string you have to grab with a tissue after. EWWW!!! It's really gross! THANK YOU again to Kortney for his humidifyer too!! It's helping him a lot right now!
Also, today might be the day we say good-bye to Shelby. We have decided we can't keep her anymore. Even though Connor has a cold now, he's been congested pretty much since we got her and we're too paranoid that he's allergic to her. If he is, it's very mild and probably isn't a big deal, but we just can't run that risk anyway. There's a nice sounding family coming to see her today so we'll see if they take her home.

A Kiss For You, And You, And You, And You,......

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY!

A Little About The Wedding

We went to the wedding on saturday for Chip and Ellen. It was very casual. Not even the bride wore even a skirt. Everyone was in jeans and T-shirts. It was held in their basement. Personally I think that's pretty funny. John laughed too at that, so I know I can. They wanted to go as cheap and simple as they could. Which is never really a bad thing. I would never have wanted a wedding like that, but I can see how they would. What was stupid though is even though it was an extremely casual non-formal event, it was still a wedding and Ellen's older girls didn't even come. The only people there were me, John, and Alex, Pam and her boyfriend Jim (who were perfoming the ceremony), Chip and Ellen of course, and Ellen's two younger girls who still live at home. There were no decorations to signify it was a wedding either. If you weren't there to see it take place, you'd never have a clue it happened. Chip and Ellen didn't even seem to care much that it happened. It was very odd.

Pam did a fairly nice job however at perfoming it. She made it sound very elegant and official, despite that everything else made it look and feel non-official. Well, whatever makes them happy. And... TAH DAH!! I actually REMEMBERED my camera this time! Here's a few pics I got.

My Big Red Neck Weddin'

I thought this cartoon was too funny not to put on too.

Not mine, but Chip's (John's brother). Let me be the first to congratulate Chip on getting married this saturday! This came as a really big shock to all of us. Chip has never wanted to settle down before. Well, I guess Ellen is too good to let go so he's not. But this is without a doubt the true meaning of red neck! Their wedding is a T-shirt and jeans event. Pam, (John and Chip's mom) will be performing the ceremony. No, she's not licensed. But guess who is.... ELLEN!! The bride is also going to be the minister at her own wedding! I'm sorry, but I am just.. I mean... WOW. That's going to look a bit odd on the marriage certificate don't you think?

*This picture isn't really them

Bathtub Wars

The Weekly Struggle to get Alex to take a bath has been, to say the least, irritating.
I know some kids just don't want to. But when you're 9 you kind of have to. Otherwise it's just gross. I just needed to vent this out a little. I'm not used to an older kid refusing to be clean. Anyone know how to get her to take them?

TOTALLY UNFAIR!!!

Can you believe this??!!.. I got FIRED!!! I am SOOOOO MAD at my former "cool" boss! argh! He didn't even have a good reason for it! I can't believe the crap he gave me to justify it. He hired me for only 2 or 3 days a week right? Well get this... he said "well, we really need someone who can work more hours and I just don't see this job as being a priority for you." WHAT THE CRAP IS THAT!! I said well, if you wanted someone to work more then why did you hire me in the first place?? He goes, we hoped maybe things would be a little different. OH MY GOSH. I want to kick him! I am just so mad right now!!! It's a good thing I didn't really need this job to begin with!

What Now?

I just finished reading Eclipse. I'm sad now that there's nothing more to read! :( I heard rumors of a fourth book coming out in the fall? Has anyone else heard about that? I can't wait! Argh! I don't want to wait! It's just like when Lord of The Rings came out. I never read the books, so I HATED the cliff hanger ending every time! And I had to wait and wait for the next movie to come out. *sigh* Oh well. I can always re-read them! Mom..hurry up and finish them!

*I didn't realize the picture came up so small and I don't know how to take them off yet once I put them on.
