Yesterday was pretty good. After I got home Vallerie and I went outside and picked up some of the remaining walnuts in the yard. They were all slimey and black... ick. Then Vallerie played on her swing set for a little while.
After we were inside we decided to watch the Smurfs. We all cuddled up on the couch and started watching it. Vallerie sat still for about 20 minutes, and then she was up running around and beating up Eddie and me. Eddie and I finished it. It was not very good. I'm not surprised that Vallerie didn't sit still.
After Vallerie was in bed I read a little and then headed out to get Eddie's game a midnight. While I was waiting I went to Walmart and got some more little wooden animals. I am going to put magnets on them so Vallerie can play with them on the fridge like she does with her other ones.
When I got home, I went to bed. It was late and I needed to get up early.
Today Eddie is going to the license branch and is getting an ID. Not sure if we will do anything after that. I think we are having pork chops for dinner. Yum Yum.

Monday October 29th
This weekend was pretty good.
Friday Eddie had an appointment in Lafayette. After we got that all settled we came home and I went to work (in my office upstairs) It was great, however I did run into some problems, and was on the phone with Tech Support for about 2 hours until I was finally able to work.
Saturday we went to Monticello and did a small amount of Trick or Treating. We went to a co-worker's church and did what they called "Trunk or Treat". It was chilly, so after that we headed to Walmart and got a few things. On our way out Subway gave Vallerie a balloon. Vallerie thought this balloon was the greatest thing in the whole world. She was laughing and playing with it the whole way home, and wanted it during dinner too.
Sunday we stayed home. I cleaned the house a little bit. I also fixed Vallerie's wooden letters from he door, and made some new ornaments to send to my mom.
Friday morning I smoked my last cigarette. So, needless to say everything is a lot more irritating than normal (like how my god damn keys aren't typing every letter I press)... among other things. I hope it gets easier. As the day goes on it isn't as bad, but the morning is the worst!
Tonight I am going to a midnight release for a game Eddie has wanted for a long time. It's a big one, so there's going to be lots of people (dorks) there. There's also going to be a costume contest (which I am not entering). I hope it goes by fast though. I really don't want to be standing in line for hours.

Wednesday October 24th
Yesterday was a pretty good day. After I got home I read a little, then we ate dinner.
After Vallerie was in bed I finished up the Tardis Can coozies I was making and then I read a little more and went to bed.
Not terribly exciting, but it was still a good night.
Working late today, so I still have a little over an hour to go until I can go home.
I was thinking about Vallerie's Halloween bucket. Right now she has a pumpkin and a witch's cauldron. I was thinking of taking one of her Easter buckets and covering it with paper so it looks like a pirate's treasure chest. It shouldn't be too hard, and I think every good pirate needs a treasure chest! So, maybe I will do that tonight, maybe I won't.
I was thinking of going to Boo at the Zoo tomorrow. (With Vallerie and Eddie of course) Not sure how the weather will be. Then I think Saturday we might come to Monticello and trick or treat since that's the day the town is doing it. I guess we will have to see how the rest of the week goes.

Tuesday October 23rd
We had a good weekend. Saturday we went into town and got some groceries. Vallerie wore her new cute Halloween outfit that my aunt got her. She looked so cute! We got some pictures.
Then on Sunday we stayed home and didn't do much. I put Vallerie's Halloween costume on her and she ran around the house in it. Then I put on her bee costume from last year. She thought it was a butterfly and kept calling herself a butterfly. It was cute.
Yesterday I worked from home. It was so nice!
I started working on my ornaments. I have about 14 made, they just need the beads in the middle of each flower. I also finished several can coozies for my co-worker. I still have 2 left to do though. Little details on those.
I started reading The Witching Hour by Anne Rice again. I started where I left off last time which was 1/2 way through. Luckily I didn't need to start over again.
That's about it. I think working from home yesterday chilled me out a little bit. That's a great thing.

Monday October 15th
We had a nice weekend.
Friday after I got home we stayed home and didn't do much. I got off work at 6pm, so by the time I got home and settled in it was dinner and Vallerie bed time.
Saturday we went grocery shopping at Walmart, and we also went and got Vallerie's Halloween costume. She picked out a pirate. It's a pretty pirate. It's got like this cute little pink and black tutu dress. We got her a hook too. She played with that all weekend. Saying Arrr and hooking things. It was cute.
While we were in the store she found a plastic clever, and was chopping Eddie and I with it. She then proceeded to try and chop other people with it. Luckily I stopped her from chopping this nice lady walking by us. She also found a pair of big glasses (like clowns wear) and kept putting those on and looking at people. She got a lot of giggles from strangers. She was not scared this year like she was last year which was good.
Saturday night I played the Sims for a little while. I made our family. Then Eddie and I watched Snow White and the Huntsman. It was decent. Not great, but not horrible. One of the better Netflix movies's we've gotten I suppose.
Sunday was cleaning day. I got all the laundry done! It's been piling up for about 2 weeks, so I was happy to get it all clean. I was folding Vallerie's laundry, and she saw her bunny outfit that my mom got her. She immedieately wanted it on. So, I put it on her. She started hopping around and would not take off the hood (with bunny ears) all day. Her head was sweating, but she did not want it off. It was pretty cute. After her nap I did the dishes and Vallerie hopped around the house. After I was done and Eddie was cooking dinner Vallerie layed on our bed and watched Gumby on the laptop. She was so cute. She's growing up too fast!
After we ate, and Vallerie was in bed, I watched some tv and crocheted Vallerie a little hat. It's nothing special, but it was with varigated yarn, so it's simple, but cute. Eddie thought it was adorable. (He's my best critic) The I started on another hat for Vallerie. This one is going to be a panda hat. I got the base done, now all I have to do is the black parts. (Ears, eyes, and trim) I should be able to do that tonight.
Vallerie has had a runny nose all weekend, and she has passed her cold on to me. I am hoping it's not that bad of a cold. Vallerie doesn't have any other symptoms (that I can see) other than the runny nose. I however have a sore throat, and a headache.
Tomorrow is my moms birthday. I hope her presents get there today or tomorrow. That would be nice.
I have a dentist appointment tomorrow. I know I have cavities. I can barely eat sweets (maybe that's a good thing) but lately I haven't been able to tolerate hot or cold on one side of my mouth. I don't like going to the dentist, but at least they can fix me up. I just hope they don't yell at me. I don't take very good care of my teeth.

Friday October 12th
I am SO glad it's Friday!
Yesterday after I got home, Vallerie did some painting. She painted some pictures and some rocks. I took pictures and video. It was fun. Then she was super messy so she took a little bath.
After that we hung out in the living room and she watched Umi Zoomi and I finished up the bee hats I was making for my sisters friend.
After Vallerie was in bed, I made a birthday present for my mom and then watched some tv. Then I went to bed.
I was hoping to work from home on Monday, but apparently my computer doesn't have the software stuff on there to do it. So, I have to wait until Monday when the IT guy can fix it. I really really wanted to work from home that day! Arg! I am glad that I tested it out at work because I would have been super pissed if I would have tried it Monday morning at home (after NOT getting ready) and then having to get ready and come into the office.
Not sure what our weekend plans are. We need to get groceries and Vallerie still needs her Halloween costume, so we will probably do that.
I might make Vallerie some more hats. The pumpkin hat I made her is good, but there's too much green at the top, so I will probably make her a new one and maybe give the one she has to one of her cousins.

Thursday October 11th
Yesterday after I got home we went into town and saw Eddie's mom. She seems to be doing fine after her surgery.
Then we stopped by McDonald's and got dinner. It was probably 8:30 when we got home.
Talked to my mom on the phone.
I watched some netflix and Eddie played some games on the xbox.
Been a little irritated at work lately. Since we are working for multiple companies they all expect us to work miracles. One in particular said that we were sending too many calls to them from customers that want to make payments. (really?!) Now we are responsible for taking their Credit Card info and FAXING that info to them. If that's not bad enough (you know cc info all over the place who knows if someone can get their hands on it) if the customer wants to know what their balance is, we have no way of knowing what it is! It just really pisses me off that we're expected to do this but don't have the information or the systems we need to accurately do it. On top of that there are... people... that might be able to get that information, but they don't.
I was thinking of quitting smoking, but the way things are going, I doubt that will happen any time soon. I just want to go home and crawl into bed and stay there.

Wednesday October 10th
I think I forgot to blog yesterday.
Lets see... Monday night I crocheted 2 bee hats and finished Vallerie's pumpkin hat. I have more work to do on the bee hats though.
Yesterday after I got home (from a kinda crappy day) Vallerie and I watched some tv and then after she went to bed I watched Cabin in the Woods. It was a really crappy movie. No one should ever see it.
Then I went to bed.
The landlord called some people to come fix our floor. They have been over twice already and they are coming back in a week. I don't know what the problem is.
Also, the work from home program has started back up. There are a couple catches though. We only get 35 days from October to May to work from home. That's about 1 1/2 a week. And there has to be someone in the office for the early shift and the late shift. I was really hoping to use my days at home for my late shifts because I don't like driving at night, and I really enjoy putting Vallerie to bed, but that isn't going to happen. I mean there could be an occasional day where I work a late shift with someone who is in the office, but it sure isn't going to happen very often. I guess I can't complain, I mean it's not like last year, but at least we have that option now. I should be a lot happier than I am.

Monday October 8th
We had a good (but busy) weekend.
Friday after work we went into Monticello to Walmart. We got some groceries and other things. One of the things was some new light bulbs for the bathroom. They are 100 watt energy savers (daylight)... they are BRIGHT. There's 4 of them above the mirror.
Saturday we were supposed to go to a corn maze/pumpkin patch with Eddie's family. It rained all day Friday, and it was cold, so we decided to skip it. We invited everyone over (14 people!) and we had a really late lunch, and carved pumpkins in the dining room. It was pretty fun. Eddie even invited his brother and his wife. Everyone was so shocked when his brother came in. (They had been fighting, and weren't talking to each other)
After everyone left, we headed over to my uncle's house and had dinner with everyone (including my cousin). Vallerie was entertaining my aunt and cousin by showing off her knowledge of colors and some shapes. The most impressive was when Vallerie knew what a trapezoid was. She still has trouble with square and rectangle, but she definitely knows circle, triangle, oval, trapezoid, and diamond. My aunt got her this super cute little Halloween outfit. We're going to get some pictures of Vallerie in it and send them to people.
Sunday we stayed home and cleaned the house. Then I mowed the yard. After Vallerie was bathed and in bed Eddie and I did our own thing for a while and then we decided to watch a movie. It was called Life Happens. I watched all of it. (it sucked) and Eddie fell asleep like 10 minutes in. Oh well.
Today has been busy. I wish it was time to go home. I want to see my family, and I need to finish up those dang bee hats I promised to make.

Friday October 5th
Yesterday after I got home we went in to town and visited Eddie's mom. She had her gallbladder removed, so we wanted to check in. She seems to be doing ok. Her sister is there helping her.
After that we went to the VFW in Delphi to try and catch dinner, but by the time we got there they were done. We did get some left over food though. Vallerie was playing with the arcade machine. She kept yelling that there were dinosaurs on the screen. Really, it was an Alien Vs Predator game, so I guess the Aliens were what looked like dinosaurs to her. My Grandpa kept wanting to give her quarters so she could actually play, but I kept telling him not to give her any.
Then we went home and ate. Vallerie went to bed and Eddie played some games. I watched a couple episodes of Dr. Who and started crocheting Vallerie's pumpkin hat. I really don;t think I will get 4 done by tomorrow afternoon. Vallerie my be the only one with a pumpkin hat.
Busy day today. Hoping it goes by fast. I want to go home and be with my family.

Thursday October 4th
Yesterday after I got home I got ready and went to my 2nd? cousins viewing. There were a lot of people there. I didn't stay too long and I mostly hid in the back with my cousin.
Then Eddie and I played some Angry Birds and Vallerie ate dinner and went to bed.
Eddie and I watched the movie Friends with Kids. I don't think Eddie liked it, but I thought it was ok. Then we went to bed.
Vallerie took a stuffed animal to bed with her that when you press the feet it plays songs. She was up this morning at 5am pushing the buttons on it. I don't know what time Eddie got her out of bed. I think she will have an early nap today.
It's already turning out to be a crappy day. Bounced a check for the first time and our router/modem is acting up so I have to try and fix it when get home.
We're going to visit Eddie's mom after work. She had gallbladder surgery yesterday. Then we're going to a funeral reception dinner.
I was hoping to make all the kids pumpkin hats for our adventure on Saturday, but I probably won't get them all done in time. I would have to make 4. Oh well.

Wednesday October 3rd
I haven't posted in a while. My mom visited, so I was busy!
While my mom was here we did a little shopping at Once Upon a Child. We took some of Vallerie's old clothes in and got a little money for them. My mom bought Vallerie some winter items. We also went to Hobby Lobby. I got some yarn. Then we ran around town to all the hardware stores so my mom could find a little lampshade for this candle things she has. She finally found one at Lowes.
It's been a busy week at work. I have been putting in orders and figuring average bag pricing. It's pretty exciting actually. I like doing that stuff a lot more than calling people.
Saturday is going to be a big day. We're going to a corn maze/pumpkin patch with Eddie's family and all the kids are going to get pumpkins. It's going to be super fun I am excited.
