Not much has been happening the last couple days.
Vallerie got into the fridge and ate a few handfuls of brownies before Eddie stopped her.
Eddie and I watched a movie called Wanderlust, it was weird. Not bad, but just kinda weird.
Vallerie is doing great in her bed. Every night we read her a story. She really likes Splat the cat. I think that may be her go to story. Eddie reads it the best though.
Um... I can't think of anything else really. We didn't win the powerball 550 million jackpot. We "won" $4, but I converted it into scratch offs and they were losers. Oh well.

Monday November 26th
I haven't blogged in about 2 weeks. There's been a lot going on and I just didn't have the time.
On Tuesday the 13th my grandfather fell at the dentist. He went to the hospital in Indy. My mom, sister and cousin all came to Indiana.
We all visited him in the hospital on Wednesday. He was conscious, but on sedatives and had a breathing tube in so he couldn't talk, he was trying so hard to say something to my aunt. On Thursday we visited him again, but this time he was not so good. We stayed for a while that day and the family decided to take his breathing tube out on Friday so he could try and talk. As my mom and I were close to home we got a call to turn around and go back to the hospital. His heart, kidneys, and liver were failing. His blood pressure was getting so low they had to pump him full of meds to keep it up. We got there in time for them to take out his breathing tube. He passed away quietly.
My only regrets are that he didn't get to see Vallerie again, and that we will never know what he was trying to say to my aunt on Wednesday. I also wish I would have listened to Eddie more. He was always suggesting that we go over to my gpa's house, but I never wanted to. I always had some stupid excuse.
Today is the first day I have been back to work in about 2 weeks. We had a "normal" Thanksgiving. Eddie made his first turkey and we had his sister, her husband, and their baby over for lunch. Everything was delicious. We got our dining room table the day before, but when Eddie was assembling it we saw that there was a huge ding on the side. The furniture place is supposed to call us to schedule getting a replacement. Thanksgiving night Vallerie and I went to my uncle's house and had dinner with the rest of the family.
Yesterday Eddie and Vallerie put up the Christmas tree, and I decorated it. I think it looks pretty good. Eddie said that this morning when Vallerie got up and walked in the room, her eyes got really big and she said "WOW"... or something to that effect. I wish I could have been there to see it.
We also took Vallerie's crib apart and she is now in a big girl bed. She has been doing good so far. We haven't noticed her getting up in the middle of the night. There is a baby gate in front of her door, so if she does get up, she won't get out. Normally she will open her door in the morning, and yell "Good Morning" or yell for her daddy. (It's pretty cute) My mom bought her a super cute bed set. It's got candy on it, and it matches her room really well.
That's all I can remember. I know a lot of other things went on, but really they don't seem too important at this point.

Tuesday November 13th
Got some really terrible news yesterday. My grandpa is dying.
He fell at the dentist and got knocked unconscious and then stopped breathing. The dentist did CPR and then he got taken to the hospital. While he was there they found a brain aneurysm. He was supposed to have emergency surgery, but the doctors decided that it wouldn't do him any good. So, we don't know how long he will live. He is in Indianapolis now. I will probably go see him today or tomorrow. My cousin flew in from CA and my mom and sister may drive in soon too.
While all this was happening, I went to the midnight release of Call of Duty Black Ops 2. (video game). There were probably 200 people in line. I was # 120. It was a decent distraction from what was happening with my gpa. I got home at about 1am.
Tomorrow and Thursday I am going to work from home.
That's all there is to say right now... I am very sad.

Monday November 12th
We had a great weekend!
Friday night I went and bought Halo 4 for the xbox. This was a gift to myself. Eddie and I played it all night and then when we got up on Saturday we played it too.
Saturday I went to the store and got some cat food. While I was there I looked around for some Christmas presents. I found a couple things for Vallerie, nothing too exciting. I did however find a really cool plastic pony for $5. I was going to buy it, but I guess I set it down in the store when I was looking at something else, because when I got home it wasn't in my bags or on my receipt.
Sunday I went into town to exchange Vallerie's stick horse that had corroded batteries, and I did a little shopping too. I went to Walmart and got some things. We're going to convert Vallerie's crib into a real little bed next week (Thanksgiving Vacation) and I wanted to get some sheets, but I didn't find anything I liked. I did get her a pillow. Maybe the pillow will make her want to get rid of that dang dog she sleeps on.
I also went to the dollar store and got Vallerie some little toys. Eddie was not happy with the amount I spent there, so he was a little irritated at me when I got home. I really don't care though. I think I did good, and Vallerie's Christmas shopping is just about done. There's only one mote thing I want to get her.
After Vallerie was in bed Eddie and I played some more Halo and then we watched The Woman in Black. It was kind of stupid. It had the Harry Potter kid in it though.

Friday November 9th
Yesterday was pretty good. After I got home we didn't do much really. I went to Pizza King and got some dinner. I even called in the order myself!
After we ate and Vallerie was in bed Eddie and I watched 3 episodes of The Walking Dead. I love that show! We still have 1 left on the TIVO, but we're going to wait until we record the next episode to watch it.
Vallerie has been a real jumping bean lately. She doesn't really walk around the house, she hops. It's really cute.
This weekend should be pretty mellow. Nothing planned. YAY! I might go to Toys R Us and exchange Vallerie's stick horse, but that's about it. Maybe look for a cabinet to store towels in. Not really sure.

Thursday November 8th
Tuesday after work we went Christmas shopping with Vallerie. We went to the dollar store and she picked out presents for the family. It was fun. This year she actually walked around and picked up things she liked and put them in the shopping cart. We had to guide her a little. When we first walked in there was a display of fake flowers, and if it was up to her, everyone would have gotten fake flowers.
Yesterday was a pretty good day. I worked from home, so it was a more relaxing day. I got some more ornaments made. I have about 9 to send to my mom. I will probably mail them next week. I have several others to finish up first.
After I got off of work I watched the last episode of season 2 of The Walking Dead. Now Eddie and I can start watching season 3 together. Then I watched a couple episodes of Dr. Who and went to bed.

Tusday November 6th
Yesterday when I got home we had to rush out of the house to get something paid for Eddie. We got that done and then we dropped little pumpkin off at Eddie's moms house and Eddie and I went shopping!
We went to Toys R US and got Vallerie most of her Christmas presents. Eddie saw some plastic power tools and thought those were super cool, so we got those, and some other things as well. We also got a train that we'll put under the tree on Christmas Eve. I think she will like it. We will still probably get her some more stuff, but I think for the most part she is good.
I think today we are going out to get the other kids presents. Not sure what we'll get them, but we have a few ideas.
I am super tired today. I think that the cold meds I take at night really make me tired the next day.
I was thinking about selling some of my paper ornaments online. I will send some to my mom of course, but I have a feeling that I will have a ton left over and not know what to do with them. Maybe some of the girls at work will want some, who knows. They are really fun to make (and I just bought some new beads!) so that's not a problem.

Monday November 5th
This weekend was a little busy.
Saturday we went out and were going to do some Christmas shopping, but didn't have time. We looked for dining room tables and by the time we were done looking, Vallerie was ready to go home. She was at her gmas house and her cousins had to leave, so after they left she was not happy.
Sunday we stayed home and cleaned a little bit. We're all sick with colds,so it was a slow clean. I went to the store and got some liquids (juice, milk, tea) and I popped over to the cereal isle. Guess what I found... ALPHABITS! I was super happy. I bought them of course. When I got home Vallerie saw them and said "Super Why", Yes, they had the Super Why characters on the box. She's so smart.
I also made apple crisp for the first time. We had some apples that needed to be eaten, so I made the crisp. It was really easy, and Eddie and I thought it was great. Vallerie just ate the apples.
I think that we will go out and try to do some more shopping today, but who knows. I think we're going to get the 7yr olds easy bake ovens. I was telling Eddie that I remember getting his sister an easy bake oven when she was 8. It was a little weird to think that we have been together that long and I knew his sister when she was as old as her step daughter.
I was thinking about toys for Vallerie. She really likes Umizoomi. They have some toys, so I think we might get those for her.

Thursday November 1st
Yesterday was pretty awesome.
Eddie and I had a car appt at noon, so I worked a split shift. After work we got Vallerie dressed up in her Halloween costume and went over to my Grandpas house.
My Aunt and Gpa were there and we had a good time. My Gpa made up a cute little story about being the Pumpkin Man. Vallerie didn't really pay attention to it, but I thought it was cute. She got some good candy and a few little extras too.
Then we went over to Eddie's sisters to go trick or treating. It was pretty fun. Vallerie walked the whole time. She did get a little fussy at the end, but I think she was cold, tired, and hungry. She got some pretty good loot though.
After we got home we fed Vallerie and put her to bed. I made a couple more ornaments and watched the Walking Dead on Netflix. Then I went to bed.
Today has been super busy. Eddie had a couple errands to do in town this morning, so we did those and then made a quick trip to Hobby Lobby. I got some paper and was going to get the super awesome pink chandelier for Vallerie's room, but Eddie noticed that it was not a light fixture, it was a hanging light with a cord, so that won't work. Now we are going to look at other stores to see if they have what I actually want.
I am working late today so I have a long time until I can go home. It already feels like I have put in a full days work, and that was before I even set foot in the office.
