Last night I really wanted to RIP my hair out! Elijah woke up at two a.m screaming. I tried to feed him, I changed his diaper, I cuddled him but he would not stop screaming and crying!!! I was soooo overwhelmed the only thing I could do was hold him while I was crying thinking that a job away form my child sounds great right about now. I never thought I would feel that way. I was so lost in what I thought I knew and what I did know about parenting. I have younger siblings and lots of nieces and nephews, so I had a pretty good idea of what to expect as a parent. Boy was I wrong or what. I would like to blame it on the fact that back then I was a teenager and could handle the chaos and late nights. So needless to say I was up until three a.m crying with my baby until we both fell asleep. Then the cycle started itself over at six-thirty a.m.
I watch my niece Leah when Charlene goes to work on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Well, Today Elijah had been really fussy like he has been for the last week because he has been teething. And Leah had been fussy because she could sense that I was overwhelmed with Elijah. I was so thankful when mom came home and helped me with Leah while I tried to make my Elijah happy. By the way Elijah loves homemade turkey noodle soup!
Mom and I went to Boise to do some grocery shopping because its supposed to snow tomorrow. It was nice to get a break form my teething, not so smiley, grumpy little boy, but when we got home it was wonderful to see his sleepy little face. so I snuggled with him for a few moments then put him down to sleep for the night.

Snow! Teething! Fevers! Cooking! Not Moving...
11-27-10 down to 11-23-10
Hmmm! Where do I begin? Well its been snowing ALL day! Oh how I do enjoy the snow, but i am not as huge of a fan of the icy snowy roads. On the bright side it is going to be awesome when Charlene, Kristin and I go snowboarding!!!
I am riding over to my sister's house tonight while Shawn goies to work. I am going to play games and enjoy time with my cousin Tiffany and her boyfriend Travis, my cousin Shyanna, and my sister's friend Sarah and of course my sister! They are all wonderful people and a blast being aroud!
Hopefully Elijah will get some sleep tonight and finally start feeling better.
We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I made a Green Bean Casserole. it was mighty tasty! We played games and had a blast laughing and enjoying the company of family!
Elijah has been trying to cut his top teeth. he has been running a fever of 99.5 - 102. He has been sooo uncomfortable and sometimes I feel a little overwhelmed. It is difficult for me because my hubbo works nights and is sleeping through the day. So most days I am the only one taking care of Elijah which makes me feel like I am a single parent sometimes. Okay okay I will stop complaining now. This is not what this blog is about.
Shawn & I have decided not to move into the little place that we were looking at. Looks like we are going to have to stick it our where we area at for a while longer! Not my favorite thing, but there certainly are a lot worse things out there.

Cleaning, laundry, kids, cooking, more cleaning
Not much to blog tonight!
Today, I put laundry that I washed, dried, and folded yesterday away. I put the dishes in the dishwasher so it could do the washing AND rinsing while I made dinner, which consist of:
Homemade Sloppy Joes
Baked Potatoes
Mixed Veggies
I am not a fan of Sloppy Joes, but a friend of my sisters gave me a recipe and let me tell you it was delicious!

Today was a day full of all different kinds of emotions!
For those of you that don't know Shawn and I have been offered a home to rent for fairly cheap! Well turns out this home is really super nice and the rent is even cheaper then we have imagined! Our GOD is an awesome GOD! Although we have been offered this home and we are really excited for it and our step into the world, there are a few people in our lives that don't think this is the step we need to take. Shawn and I have been praying about this for a super long time and we feel this is our chance to strive!!
I talked to my dad on the phone today and he has been informed that he will have to be flown to Seattle to have Surgery on his heart. They will be putting stents, a small, expandable tube used for inserting in a blocked vessel, in his heart to open his arteries more. I have tears of sadness, not because he is having surgery, but simply because I am soooo worried about him. I pray that someone can go with him and that if someone could go with him my little sister Ginnetta can go with him so that way he knows that he doesn't have to go through this speed bump alone. Although, if no one is able to go with him, I know that he will not be alone because he has the one and only God Almighty to be with him and protect him.
Oh and I might add that Elijah is officially my half grown toddler! He is now 6 months old!!!

A Trip to the Store!
I was doing my usual on the computer aka Facebook, Myspace, and searching the web when my hubby wanted me to run to the store to get him a Mountain Dew. Of course I was thinking in my head 'Do I really have to run to the store for you?' But, because I love my husband and want to make him happy I run, or rather drive to the store to get him a Mountain Dew. When I get there I say hello to Dellis, She is the owner of the store and a very sweet lady. About a week or so ago she had offered me a job two nights a week. After Shawn and I pray about it and with much debate we decided that it would be a wonderful idea to take the job. Now Dellis also has a home for rent and has offered it to Shawn and I, for really cheap I may add! I am so excited! This is a big step for me, because I am so ready to be the wife and mom that I want to be and this is just and extra boost to get to where I want to be!
