Yesterday was a big day.
We signed Vallerie up for Kindergarten! She did a great job with her assessment and was really excited. First day of school is August 11th. That is going to be a rough day (for Eddie and me)
Other than that not much has been going on. Things are great.
A creepy Vallerie story:
Yesterday as I was getting Vallerie ready for bed, I was taking out my contacts and hear her in the bathroom yelling at Dalmo. I walk in and say:
"Vallerie what are you doing?"
"Don't worry mom, I didn't eat Dalmo's salt"
"What? salt?" (Thinking maybe she was eating cat litter...)
"No mom, not salt, soul. I didn't eat Dalmo's soul."
"Uh.... ok..."
"Would you be mad if I did?"
"No... but I would be a little scared!"
"Oh ok, well I didn't so don't worry. Hahahahaha"
So yeah... then she started talking about ghosts and how they eat souls. I was only a little freaked out. She's crazy.

April 6th 2015
We had a pretty good Easter weekend. Saturday we went to the courthouse and hunted eggs. Eddie's sister came with her 2 kids and then we hung out with them at home for a little while.
Eddie and I bought Vallerie some real Lego's. We spent a good 3 hours playing with her. She seems to really like them. Eddie is totally obsessed with them. Lego's are one if his favorite childhood toys, so I have a feeling he and Vallerie are going to make some pretty sweet stuff.
Sunday we went to Eddie's sisters in-laws house to have lunch and hunt eggs with his family. It was a pretty good day, but we were exhausted by the time the day was over.
My sister got me some sweet Easter presents. I got corn socks, gnome salt and pepper shakers and this amazing perfume. It smells so good!
Vallerie made out like a bandit. The Easter bunny and her family was very generous this year. She got candy of course, but also got a stuffed moose, stickers, skylanders, and lots of other little things that I don't feel like naming off.
I washed the curtains yesterday. I was hesitant because they said Dry Clean only. But since they are polyester I thought it would be ok to use the gentle cycle. I think I got the cat pee smell out (for now). Dalmo's been confined to the bathroom again. Eddie said that he thinks he knows why he is peeing on them. There are apparently cats that like to hang out outside our house, so Eddie thinks that Dalmo is marking his territory.
I was informed at work that I would be taking over the financial duties for another brand. I am still doing everything I was before for my current brands, but now since the guy who takes care of it currently is leaving, they decided to just have me do it since there's a hiring freeze, and I already know what I am doing. I'm actually pretty excited. It's fun.

Yesterday I was looking over pictures from last year at this time (April 7th) and noticed something totally weird.
We had gone to the Childrens Museum last year. Vallerie and I were wearing the exact same outfits last year that we did on Sunday. Eddie would have been too, but the shirt he wanted to wear was dirty. That's just crazy!
After work yesterday Eddie wasn't feeling well, so Vallerie and I played with some clay. Actually Vallerie played with clay and I read a book (Gerald's Game) Vallerie made a bee and a ball. The ball is a bunch of colors mixed together. It's pretty. Her bee is... well an abstract bee. But it is totally cute. I didn't snap a picture of it.
After that we had leftovers for dinner and Vallerie slept in our bed. I watched a couple episodes of Orphan Black on Amazon and then went to bed.
I'm not sure what the plan is today. If it's warm enough maybe we'll head over to the park. Yesterday was iffy. A little too chilly (for me) I don't know what the forecast is supposed to be, but I'm sure it's better than it has been. This winter seems to have lasted forever. Guess it's time to take down the Christmas tree. Haha.

We had a pretty good weekend. Saturday was kind of a lazy day. I had a headache most of the day so I just chilled out and watched TV. Vallerie and I worked on her letters a little bit.
She's been learning to spell her name and is doing an amazing job. Eddie and I are so proud of her.
Sunday we went to the Children's Museum. We only stayed for a few hours, but it was a good time. Vallerie had a blast playing in the sand and on the jungle gym thing they have there. She also did an art project with clay. She followed instructions really well. Eddie and I got a glimpse of how she would do in a school setting, and she did excellent. The instructor was asking questions and she was just yelling out the answers. It was pretty cool.
So, since she's fond of clay now we can do some clay stuff at home. Lord knows I have tons of clay to play with. I also learned something totally cool! The clay they used at the museum was kiln clay, but they gave directions on how to bake it in the oven. So... if I ever get back into real clay I don't have to buy a kiln (my dream). I can just make stuff and then oven it. Maybe I'll make 1/2 my dreams come true (making pottery).
After the museum we went out to eat with Eddie's sister Amber and her family. It was decent. Vallerie wasn't being all that cooperative, but it was a good dinner overall.
When we got home I did a bunch of laundry. I am about 1/2 caught up. But at least I now have clothes to wear to work. Yay!
Dalmo's been confined to the bathroom for a few days. I am so sick of him peeing on the curtains. I sprayed some mouthwash mixture on them that I saw online and now the curtains feel sticky and gross. I'll probably just have to wash them. Not what I want to do.

March 25th 2015
I haven't blogged in a long time, so there's no way to know what I have missed talking about.
Here are a few things that are going on.
I got a new job in January. I am now a customer Operations Specialist for Hubner Seed. I am loving it. I feel like I am doing something now and not just a receptionist. I have learned a lot and have taken over all the financial responsibilities for the team. It is awesome.
Vallerie starts school this summer. Eddie and I are pretty excited for her, and also pretty scared. We are hoping she is calm enough for class. We get to register her in a couple weeks.
Vallerie also has been playing with her new best friend from down the street. Her name is Elizabeth. She's a pretty cool kid. Vallerie even had her first (non cousin) sleep over with her (at our house) last week. It went pretty well except Vallerie kept waking up saying Elizabeth was too wiggly. There's another girl down the street who occasionally plays with both Elizabeth and Vallerie. Vallerie doesn't like her as much. They are kind of similar, both wanting to be the boss, so there's some tension there.
Dalmo is being a major pain in the ass. He keeps peeing on the curtains. I can't very well throw them in the wash because they are burgundy and I don't want to ruin them. I think he's just old and cranky. He gets chased by the dog and Vallerie. Most of the time he hangs out in our bedroom (unless he's eating or peeing on the damn curtains)
Eddie has been gaming and streaming (so people can watch him play online) he even got a $10 donation from one of his followers. It was pretty exciting.
That's about all I can remember. I will try and blog more, but I make no promises.
