7:46 AM
Sunday night recap:
We ended up going to Pizza Hut for dinner. Vallerie was a sweet little angel the whole time... HOWEVER when we took her out of her car seat, we noticed she was wet on one side. Since we didn't have a change of clothes we decided just to leave her as she was because she was not fussing. So, we ate dinner, had good conversation, and went home. As soon as we got home we went to change Vallerie. There was POOP EVERYWHERE! We didn't notice it was poop through her pants because they had an inner liner that kept it all inside. I suppose that is a good thing? We felt so terrible that she had to be sitting in that for so long. She had on 2 shirts. The under shirt (onesie) was nothing special. Her overshirt (also a onesie, but bigger) was her new, white, panda shirt. Did I mention there was poop everywhere?? So, after we got our little sweetie all cleaned up (I probably used 50 wipes) Eddie took her to eat and I went to the bathroom to try and clean out her clothes. It went pretty well until I came to the white shirt. Got most of it out, but there was still a big stain around the leg. So I whipped out the oxyclean. (By the way oxyclean in open cuts = Mega Ouch) I caked oxyclean on the stain and left for about 10 minutes. When I came back to wash it out, the stain was GONE! I couldn't believe it actually.
Vallerie has now learned how to blow slobber bubbles. It's so cute and gross at the same time. She is also getting really good at raspberries, she was good before, but now she is incorporating more slobber, so they are extra wet.
She did the cutest thing lastnight. I put her to bed, and she was fussy, so I had to keep going in and flipping her onto her back. Finally I decided just to leave her like she was (on her belly at the opposite end of the crib) she started "swimming" and I said "That's not how babies are supposed to sleep" and then put her pacifier in her mouth. As soon as I did that, her head hit the bed with a "thunk" and she was out like a light. It was adorable. I almost woke her up on accident from giggling.
She was a pain in the butt this morning though. She woke up at 4 to eat, I fed her, and the little butthead did not want to go back to sleep. She stayed up for over an hour fussing and flipping in her crib. Needless to say, I did not get much "sleep" before the alarm went off. Eddie actually went into her room and slept on the little couch so he could try and calm her down. I think he was a little ticked, but what could I do? Every time I would crawl back into bed she would cry 5 min later and I would go, "fix her", and do it all over again. He seemed ok this morning when I left though, so maybe it was just irritation from having to stay awake at 4am.
Lastnight after Vallerie went to bed I hopped on the bike. I started out with a goal of 2 miles. Once I hit that pretty easy I said I would go for 3. Then by the time I hit a little over 3 I was at 18minutes, so I decided to go for 20 minutes, and I ended up hitting a little over 4 miles. Very proud of myself. I hope to continue this process. I weighed myself at work today, just so I could measure if it was doing anything, and I actually gained a pound from the last time I weighed myself (sometime last week) It's probably from all the crap food I have been eating.
Now on to today...
I want to bitch about neighbors. On the left side of us, we have a very nice, friendly older couple who are respectful and well, act like normal people should. To our right however, we have asshats. The problem with these people is their little rat dog, oh, and the fact that they have like 50 piles of garbage on their back porch. But, back to the little rat dog. They let it wander around and poop in our yard. Not cool! We don't let our dog go into their yard and take a big dumper wherever she pleases. No, we trained our dog to go in a certain area so we could enjoy our backyard without the fear of stepping in a big steaming pile of shit. It really bothers me how some people have no respect or regard for other peoples property.
Now we move on the the other side of the street. Directly across from us, some new people moved in several months ago. Last Tuesday was garbage day. They decided that they were too lazy, stupid, whatever, to put their empty soda boxes in a garbage bag, or recycle container. They just threw them on the ground. (there was maybe 6 of them) The garbage men did not pick them up and take them away (as they shouldn't have, I mean they aren't there to pick up garbage off the road) Well, our neighbors decided that since the garbage men didn't pick them up, they would just put them in our empty can. Yes! They put their f-ing garbage in our can! Eddie didn't like that, so he went and dumped them back in their yard. Seriously WTF?! Who does that?!
Our road is a little narrow, if 2 cars are coming towards each other, one car has to pull over a bit off the road. One house down from the garbage people, there is a car parked in front of the house. This means, that 1/2 of the road is taken up by this idiot dickface. "but Lauren, what if that is the only place to park?"... It's NOT. There is an EMPTY f-ing driveway 2 feet from this guy to park in!
These are just a few examples of why I hate people. I don't understand how people can be so inconsiderate and just, uncivilized! I know I live in a small town, but really, these people have no common decency. They are straight up hilljacks.
11:48 AM
Bought a pair of pants on my lunch break. They were $15 on sale. I also bought a shirt for $5 (also on sale) I refrained from signing up for a store card. That got me in trouble a couple times. I saw some other stuff that was meh, but I decided not to go crazy. I am hoping to lose weight on this bike, and I would hate to spend a bunch of money on clothes that won't fit. Wishful thinking I suppose. (I do a lot of that)
One of our guys got let go today. I guess his sales weren't too good. It sucks because he was one of the good ones, always happy to take calls and never complained. Why can't the jerks have bad sales? It seems like all the guys that quit or are let go are the ones I actually don't mind interacting with. Oh well, that's how it goes.
Today is going pretty fast. Hoping to have time to stop by the insurance place before I go home so I can sigh a renters insurance agreement. It kind of depends on how Eddie's day is going. If he's desperate for me to come home, then I will have to go tomorrow. I hope he is having a good day. It seems like whenever I call to check in, the baby is asleep, or he is in the middle of something. I can never find the right time to call.

Lazy Sunday
4:10PM
Lastnight after I got home from work, we didn't really do much. After we put the baby to bed, we moved the recliner to the living room, and put the exercise bike together. Eddie did most of the work (Eddie is watching my type this, he said "All you did was hold a bar"), I was helping by not helping him. Eddie and I both tested out the bike by riding a mile. It was fun and kind of rough at the same time. That just shows how out of shape I am.
As for today, Eddie and I were ready to go to church, and his sister called and said that she had to work and her husband was going to the 11AM service, so we just decided to stay home. (We were behind schedule anyway)
Eddie is on the bike right now, saying he's trying to burn off the twinkie he ate earlier. He's so cute lol.
Tonight we are going out to dinner with Eddies sister and family. I don't know where we are going yet. I'm in the mood for something sweet.Maybe I will suggest IHOP. Mmm pancakes. Vallerie is napping now. We'll probably wake her up in a little while to get her ready to go out. Hopefully she cooperates. The last couple times we've went out she hasn't been the best little out to dinner kid. Like when we all went to Logan's a couple weeks ago... it was messy. There were drinks spilled, plates thrown on the floor, not to mention all the peanut shells all over. Maybe tonight will be the night Eddie and I eat a hot meal at the same time!
The weather has warmed up a bit. All the snow is gone again. hopefully for good this time. Now it's just muddy. The dog loves to run through the mud and then come inside like a race horse. I think it's supposed to be in the 50's next week. That will be nice.

Snowy Saturday
7:52 AM
Put Vallerie to bed very late lastnight. Eddie let her have a late nap, so she wasn't ready to sleep at the normal time. She ended up going to bed around 9:30PM which is about 2 1/2 hours later than normal. She was up at the normal time today though (5 minutes after I left the house)
Lastnight I actually got some crafting in. After little baby V went to bed, Eddie played a racing game, and I went upstairs and made a little decorative box. It's not great, and Eddie pointed out some flaws, but at least I tried it. Now I can fix the flaws and make it awesome. I was even thinking of adding a place to put pictures, kind of like those old timey wallet picture holders, that come out in a long line and are folded like an accordion. Maybe I'll mess with it more tonight, we'll have to see.
After my crafting was done, I watched the new episode of Ghost Adventures. It was ok... Their episodes have been getting a little weak in my opinion. Still like the show, but I want more action, less time talking about the place they are investigating, and more time inside the place. Maybe they don't have enough footage, I don't know.
Probably going to buy new pants today. I told Eddie we could get him some too, he said that it was almost summer so he probably wouldn't get any. Oh well I tried. Not sure where I am going to go, I should just go to the place that the others are from and pick up the same pair, or something similar. I probably wouldn't have to even try them on.

Friday Oh Friday
10:42AM
Lastnight Eddie and I watched "The Wolfman" It was a pretty good story, but the werewolf mask/costume was horrible. It looked like it came out of the 80's. Eddie said it reminded him of Teen Wolf. I've never seen it, so I couldn't compare. Shortly after I went to bed.
We got snow lastnight. Yes snow. I love snow, but come on! You can't tease me with 60 degree weather then snow the next week, it's just not fair. We got I'd say about 3 inches. They were calling for about 6, so that is good. It's really nice packing snow too. Who knows, maybe I'll build a snowman tomorrow. Next week it's supposed to warm up into the 50's. That will be nice. Nice and muddy!
There's a doggie in the office today. One of our people found her at a gas station running in and out of traffic, so she was brought in to see if we could find the owner. She's a cutie. She's small, like a corgi mix. She's got a collar but no tag, looks well taken care of. Poor little thing, I hope we find her owners.
Today is Friday! I have to work tomorrow, so I can't say that I am too excited. It's only for 4 hours, so it's not that bad, but Saturdays I normally get to sleep in. (8am if I'm lucky, yes that is considered sleeping in) Probably going to do a little furniture rearranging this weekend. Moving the exercise bike into the bedroom, and the recliner into the living room. It would be nice if we could move the tv and couch around, but it's too much of a hassle and there really is no where else to put it.
Had a pest remover come over and check out the bird in our wall. By the time he got there it was gone. He may come back and lay some traps. We didn't hear it today, so maybe it found it's way out... or died. Hell it probably died. Can't wait to deal with the rotting bird in our wall. Yehaw!
I've been re-reading a series of books the last couple months. (The Earth Children Series) I am stuck on the 4th book. I just can't get into it like the last 3. There is one more that is published, and then next month the last book of the series will be published. Before I knew the last book was going to be published I had just started re-reading them. Isn't that weird? The first book came out in like 1982, the year I was born. The author is like 80 years old. Good books though, I would recommend them to anyone.
Vallerie is sitting up on her own, picking toys out of her toy bag and putting the ones she doesn't want back in the bag. It is so cute. I love that little girl so much. She just makes my heart melt, even when she is being a Fussy McFusser. Still not crawling, She is flipping over in her crib at night. Sometimes before I can put a cover on her she is already on her tummy. It's always a surprise to see how she ends up sleeping, and when I get her out of bed in the morning it's always funny to see which side of the crib she is on and what way she is facing.
3:35 PM
Well it's official, I am getting a hole in my pants. I only have a few pair, so this really sucks. I'll probably go buy a new pair next week. Ugh. I really don't like buying clothes. I don't feel like anything looks good, so it's not really a fun time for me.
I have a headache. Took some pills, I hope that helps. I only have a few more hours until I can go home, so that's a good thing.
I wish I had more money. What I would really like is another vehicle, so Eddie could have one while I am at work. Wishful thinking I know. Maybe someday we'll be able to afford it. Only time will tell. For now, maybe I will have Eddie take me to/from work. Doesn't save much $ on gas, but at least he wouldn't be stranded at home.
The doggie at work is gone. She went to the animal hospital here in town, hopefully her owners find her. If not she will be put up for adoption in 5 days. Everywhere else that would have taken her would have had her euthanized in 3 days. There were a couple people who mentioned taking her at work, so even if she doesn't find her owners, she'll probably get a good home. There used to be a little white poodle that ran around our house, he's gone now. I wonder what ever happened to him...
4:05 PM
Doggie found it's owners! They are picking her up at the animal hospital now. It's really good to know. I was worried she wouldn't find them. Yay!
I'm hungry. I wonder what the ol' E is gonna make for dinner... I'm guessing take out lol!
I've been thinking about other things I can make (because I am so speedy on making the things I've thought of before) and I found a cool box template online, and I was also thinking about bookmarks. Maybe I will have time to test some of these ideas out... or maybe not. We'll see I suppose.

Thursday Thoughts...
8:10 AM
This morning I had hoped would not be too eventful. Woke up at 4AM, fed Vallerie, went back to bed until 6AM. While walking to the bathroom I stubbed my toe on the highchair. I hate stepping on and running into things on the floor. Especially when I am not fully awake.
I was getting ready, and all was good. I thought to myself, wow this is going to be a pretty smooth morning.
WRONG! As soon as I walked out of the bathroom, I smelled shit. Guess who decided to poop in her crate?? Ding ding ding! THE DOG! I swear I should rename this blog "That F-ing Dog"
I have no clue why she decided to poo this morning. Maybe she thought she needed to top what she did the last couple days? I don't know what her problem is. She has a routine, she is normally well behaved and follows the rules. This week though, I don't know what has gotten into her.
We have something in our wall, or we did yesterday, I sure hope it is gone. Eddie said that all day the little critter (we think it's a squirrel) was running in the ceiling, then by the time I got home it was in the wall in a corner (close to the outside) I didn't hear it after we got home from Valleries doctors appt, so maybe it got out. I sure hope so. If not we'll have to call the landlord. Eddie hates doing it, he thinks he is bothering him. I try and remind him that we only call when we really need something. We just don't want to be one of those annoying renters.
After drawing my picture yesterday (previous post) I thought about putting some of my old drawings on here. Maybe 1 a day? I have notebooks full of that stuff. Eddie thinks they are funny. Maybe I'll try it out, or at least ask Eddie if I should. He's always pretty honest with me. (I like that)
11:38 AM
The critter in our wall is not a squirrel, it is a bird. Eddie is calling around to find someone to remove it. The good thing is, that since it is a bird it probably won't be a recurring problem.
I sent out an email at work asking for exterminator suggestions, all I got back was "use a shotgun" go figure. (*sigh* men)
Saw a cool tutorial online for paper globes. They are on my list of things to try out.
Supposed to snow tonight 4-6in. Snow! Last week it was 60 degrees, I don't know what is going on. Must be that damn global warming. Maybe I'll get a snow day tomorrow. Wouldn't matter if I did, I have to work on Saturday.
I'm hungry. Should I wait until I get home to eat or should I get something now... Maybe I'll call Eddie and see what his dinner thoughts are. That could help me decide.

What the Fudge Wednesday
9:20 AM
This morning after waking up at 5:00AM to feed Vallerie I stumbled into the bathroom (still 1/2 asleep) only to step in an ice cold puddle of dog pee. There really is nothing like starting your morning in a puddle of pee let me tell you.
Last night Eddie and I ended up watching Devil (yay I won!) it was ok. We made predictions as to which person was the devil. Eddie won. I wasn't surprised. He is awesome at figuring out movies. I was really hoping I could win the guessing game this time, but I should have known not to mess with a pro.
Shortly after the movie I went to bed, Eddie started to watch The Expendables, but he ended up falling asleep. Guess I'm not off the hook in watching it. Oh well.
Back to the dog... that dirty stinkin dog! After the pee incident, I put her in her crate. She then decided she was going to barf, (probably that diaper she ate yesterday) as I was getting stuff to clean it up, she decided she was going to save me the trouble and eat it. Yes, she ate her own barf. OMG I almost threw up right there on the floor. So, I bitched at her a little bit then went back to bed for an hour.
Left the house without jewelry today, I always feel better when I at least have earrings on. Maybe I'll make some out of paperclips. Just kidding.
1:17 PM
I drew a little picture...
7:27pm
Just finished putting Vallerie to bed. She is so cute. When the dog sneezes she just starts laughing. Neither Eddie or I can make her laugh like that, we're jealous! She is sitting unsupported for quite a while at a time, Our little sweetheart is really growing up.
Took her to the doctor today, nothing wrong with her, she just has dry skin patches. We basically looked like idiots asking the doctor about it, but we were concerned. First baby... we know nothing.
Had chicken, mac, and taters for dinner. It was yummy. Not sure what I am going to do for the rest of my evening, but it's not going to be too terribly exciting. I'll probably end up watching tv until I fall asleep.
My bike came today. Eddie said he would put it together tomorrow. Maybe I will get to help?

1:17 PM
I drew a little picture...
Going to leave in about an hour to go pick up Eddie and Vallerie and take V to her doctors appt. Nothing major, she's got some skin irritations that we want to check out, and we also have some questions about how she should be progressing.
I think my exercise bike will come today. I am excited! Hopefully if it does come, it can be assembled and I can use it tonight. That would be fantastic!
Mailing out a package to my sister at her new apartment. It has lots of good stuff. I would list it all, but she may be reading this, and well I don't want to give away the surprise. It started out as a small box of stuff, then I went to the store and bought more, see, the store is closing and everything was 75% off. I just couldn't resist! It's too bad too, because it was a good little store. I bought toe socks there to make sock monsters. Now where will I find cheap long socks? Oh well. Better get back to work. Lots to do and only a little time to do it Yipes!
7:27pm
Just finished putting Vallerie to bed. She is so cute. When the dog sneezes she just starts laughing. Neither Eddie or I can make her laugh like that, we're jealous! She is sitting unsupported for quite a while at a time, Our little sweetheart is really growing up.
Took her to the doctor today, nothing wrong with her, she just has dry skin patches. We basically looked like idiots asking the doctor about it, but we were concerned. First baby... we know nothing.
Had chicken, mac, and taters for dinner. It was yummy. Not sure what I am going to do for the rest of my evening, but it's not going to be too terribly exciting. I'll probably end up watching tv until I fall asleep.
My bike came today. Eddie said he would put it together tomorrow. Maybe I will get to help?

Tired on a Tuesday
8:35 AM
I am sleepy today. Vallerie woke up a few times lastnight on her tummy, we put her to bed on her back, but somehow the little stinker flips over in the middle of the night and then decides she doesn't like it, and starts crying. So super mom comes to the rescue to flip her over. She did that 3 times lastnight. The 3rd time it was about 3:45am and I decided just to feed her since she normally gets up between 4am and 5am to eat anyway. She slept soundly until I left this morning. Eddie says she has a mommy tracker that goes off as soon as I leave. Apparently she wakes up about 5 minutes after I am gone, no matter what time I leave. Hehe
The dog decided she was going to try and be sneaky and get up in the middle of the night and eat the bathroom trash. Too bad she left evidence all over the floor...We really need to get a trashcan with a lid for in there. Or a dog who doesn't think garbage is delicious. It's weird though, she never has gotten into the kitchen trash, which has much better tasting stuff. Maybe it's because the bathroom one is so much lower, she can eat out of it like a trough. She really likes to eat baby wipes and the things I use to clean my face. Those must taste like rainbows and sunshine to her. Drives me insane!
I bought an exercise bike last week. I am hoping it comes soon, I really need to lose like a million pounds before vacation. I feel gross in winter clothes, there is no way in hell I am going to the beach looking like this. I will stay in the hotel the whole time if I have to.
Hoped to make some things lastnight on my cricut, but I fell asleep a little while after eating, normally I am all fired up to do that stuff when I get home from work, but I have to wait until Vallerie goes to bed, by that time I am hungry. Then after dinner is made and eaten I am done for the day, and want to relax and go to bed. Weekends aren't much better because I like to give Eddie a break from taking care of her. I am hoping that once Vallerie gets a little older she can entertain herself a little more, and I can take her upstairs with me when I craft. Right now she is good for about 15 minutes then wants us to play with her, which is fine, I love being around my baby, but it would be nice to have a little time to myself during the day.
12:14 PM
Today is going by pretty fast. I like that. After work I need to go to the insurance place and sign a renters insurance form. Knowing my luck the house will be burnt down before I get home.
Having no home internet is really a pain. I can't check home email or FB messages at work, and I can get online with my PS3, but really, have you ever tried writing an email through the playstation network? It's horrible, not to mention FB isn't working properly on there, so I'm not even sure if I can see messages that way. Not that I get a lot, but normally when I do, they are important.
I am waiting on a chick that bought some earrings on my etsy shop to get back to me. She was unsatisfied with them, and I asked her why. Very curious to see what she was expecting. She did email me yesterday, but it was a freaking spam letter asking me to visit a website to buy a laptop for $1250USD. Really who the hell says "I paid $1250USD"... No one! Very annoying, especially since the damn PS3 froze twice when I was trying to read the email.
7:20PM
Just finished dinner. McDonalds... healthy stuff I know. While we were out getting dinner we forgot to put the dog in her crate. We were only gone 30minutes. In that time, she decided to go in the babys room and eat a diaper. Not sure if it was used or not, I don't think it was however, because we have a trashcan with a lid in her room. We have a very smart dog, but I swear she is the dumbest smart dog in the world. As soon as I called her into the babys room she bypassed me and went straight to her bad girl crate in the bathroom. She knew exactly what she did, yet it didnt stop her from doing it in the first place.
The cat decided that a towel in front of the back door was a perfect place to use the restroom, so he's on the bad pet list today too. I don't know whats wrong with these stinkin animals in the house.
I think Eddie and I are going to watch a movie soon. Either The Expendables or Devil. I want to see Devil and Eddie wants to see the other, I wonder who will win that battle.
He was so cute, I got home and he said that he wanted me to have time to myself (he discovered the blog lol) and I just had to smile. He really is a thoughtful wonderful man. I didn't take him up on his offer though. He just seemed so tired and ready to relax. Unfortunately, he hasn't had time to relax yet today. We just put Vallerie to sleep, so now is the time. Doubt I will get any crafting in, but that is ok. I will take snuggle time with Eddie over anything else.
Here's wishing for a great tomorrow.
Goodnight!

Monday Monkey lives for the Weekend part 2
Wow. So I get home today, and it turns out the our back up computer has a virus. That is just fantastic. My luck is just so awesome.
Getting ready to eat dinner now, prepared by my fantastic boyfriend.
Baby is asleep. All is good... for now

12:30PM
So far today has been ok. I'm feeling a little ill, not sure why. I was feeling worse earlier, so hopefully as the day goes on I will feel better.
I am hoping I will have time to do a little crafting tonight. I would love to get some cupcake toppers made. I also need to make a card for my mom to give to her boss for her birthday.
Hopefully my good home computer gets fixed soon so I can take pics and upload them. I also need need NEED to get the ones that are on there (if they can be saved) onto a disc. I am so mad to myself for not backing them up. I kept telling myself to do it. I am so lazy, I hate it. I will just be devastated if I lose all of them. There are pictures from about 6 years of Eddie and me, and then baby pictures of Vallerie. Trying to stay positive, but it is hard. It seems like nothing ever goes right when I want it to. That's why I try not to get my hopes up for anything. It seems like I always get let down when I do.
So I just got a call from Eddie, now apparently our other home computer's internet is not working. He tried to update to IE8 and now, it wont go online. Something about opening ports. Oh why couldn't he have just left it alone, it was working just fine. *sigh* You see? This is my life. When something shitty can happen guess what, it happens to me. Do I deserve it? Most of the time I don't think I do. Oh well, it's just a minor thing, no need to get all worked up about it right?
Gonna go have a quick smoke then get back to work. Lunch time is over.

Over the weekend...
Saturday:
Stayed home all day. Was feeling very lazy. Did a small amount of laundry, I should have done more. Played a little bit of Little Big Planet, got stuck on a level. I'll have to have Eddie help me beat it. Vallerie was cute like always, tried to get her to crawl, but no dice. Soon hopefully.
Sunday:
Went to the mall and ate at Applebees with Eddie's sister, bro-in law, and their 2 kids. Saw a friend/boss/coworker there. She was with her hubby and grand kids. Vallerie was a little fussy, but that's normal for her. I don't think Eddie and I have eaten a hot full meal when she's been out with us. We take turns entertaining her while the other one eats. She wore her adorable new crochet hat. I had chicken tenders, and Eddie had Tillapia....
After we ate, we stopped in Old Navy. They have such cute (and a tad expensive) baby clothes. Bought Vallerie some cute pants with ruffles on the butt, and a pink sweater. (Both on clearance) I also bought my niece a light up yo yo and a wind up caterpillar, but I told her she could only have them if she was good. I gave them to her dad so he could decide when she was good enough to get them.
Came home and hung out with the kid until bed time. Got a video of her trying to crawl, she looks like she is trying to swim. It is adorably cute and funny.
Watched the end of Inception (fell asleep the 1st time) I was very disappointed. I hate when movies leave you hanging like that. I would have gone with either him being in a dream or not being in a dream. Why couldn't they just pick one. Arg. Fell asleep shortly after...

Today
This is my first blog, and my first post! Kind of excited, but I'm really not sure if anyone will care enough to read it.
Oh well!
Oh well!
