a little somethin somethin

I have had major blogger block and haven't really cared to post anything. I started one the other night, but of course it didn't save! Yuck! So here's a little something for those of you who are interested in my so called life.

I am looking for a second job.. y i p p i e. Although the financial burden has added a few gray hairs to my head and I'm not even joking. Like visible, upfront and center gray hairs. So I need to put an end to the madness. Wish me luck, however I'm pretty sure I'll find something pretty quickly.

My cute little man has had and still has pneumonia, which wasn't fun and a little scary for me. Wyatt has always been very healthy so it was kinda a big deal. When I told my brother he started to cry which then in turn made me cry. But all is well, I'm just a big boob. Ask around, it's true. But back to my child, he's doing much better. He still has a cough and probably will for about 3 weeks. I first took him to the instacare, so once his pediatrician received his chest x rays he called me to make sure everything was okay. He wasn't planning on the x ray being as bad as it was.. yikes.. so I'm happy that he's getting better and we can move on! Going back to work after working from home for a full week was a bit of an adjustment. Wyatt wouldn't talk or look at Jenn for like three days, it was weird.

My camera is still lost, and I'm baffled I have NO clue as to where it would go, unless someone stole it. Hopefully one day I'll find it, because it would make this next little part of my blog a little easier to understand (unless you've been in my home). Yesterday I went to preview one of our new listings with my boss. It's a newer home with all the upgrades and all the fancy stuff that is pretty much in EVERY home that was built in the last 2 - 3 years. It was way nice but had the coolest accent walls. I thought that someone had taken the time to actually paint them, but they were WALLPAPER! This cool modern wallpaper and I'm totally doing it in my house. Right now I have 3 brown walls and the rest are that silvery blue that's pretty popular now (if you've been in Restoration Hardware it was the color of their walls awhile back, not sure anymore). So I am going to paint two of the walls back to the blue, which I think my mom will be happy with and on the brown wall that the sliding glass door is on I am going to find a really pretty brown wallpaper. I'm really excited! Call me crazy but you'd have to see how cool to believe it. Below are a few I thought were kinda cute, but I'm not really sure what direction I want to go in. Hmm.. decisions decisions, but I think my favorite one is the last one!







Kinda fun.. and that's pretty much all I've got. Hope all is well with everyone!

so long.. farewell...

he did it! it's gone! and i'm starting to see that i'm the one that makes a big deal out of things. i was so terrified to make bedtime hard because it's been so easy. but once again i was proved wrong and it seems to be easier than ever. his binkie is the next to go, it's not even that important to him.. mainly just me. there is a slot on the side of my desk that you can run all the chords through and hook up the power strip and whatnot. well wyatt has decided that this is where his binkies should go and another one has been layed to rest today. i could never figure out where he was putting his binkies when we were at work until i caught him in the act. he knows that he's not getting them back either. my desk weighs about 500 lbs and i'm not lifting it up to get them. at this point i'm sure there are about a dozen in there. i'm just hoping that my keys don't fall victim next!

bottomless pit

wyatt can not get enough food in him today and i can not get it to him fast enough! i guess that's an okay thing since he is a growing boy! he is now in a size 6 diaper and size 7 shoe. what 20 month old is in a size 6? i know people that have or have tried to potty train this young and i don't know how they do it. wyatt pee's so much at night, i would constantly be cleaning sheets and changing his bed! the thought is nice, i'd just like to know how it can actually be achieved.

wyatt is making some big changes in his little life. he no longer has a bottle at naptime or at bedtime. he gets a small one before bed but he has to drink it on the couch. and he's doing really well. i was so affraid we would have meltdowns and tantrums, but so far so good. kristen was even able to get him to take a nap in a big boy bed when she watched him. crazy! i've been thinking about converting his crib but think i will wait until he's actually 2. it's fun in the morning listening to him yell at me to get him out. in the morning it sounds like he's saying mum instead of just mom, it's really cute.

he also has added a few things to his vocabulary and sign language. He says no more, la la (ella), ball, car, uck (which is either truck or look, he's usually pointing when he says it, sometimes at trucks and sometimes at random things), who is that (which he's said before) and mmmmnono(banana). and of course words that I can not yet translate. It's fun listening to him though! he also has a few new signs. giraffe, banana, cheese, cookie, grandma and mom.

he really is such a good kid i'm lucky. we are still working on the hitting but i am happy to say that his head butting is pretty much done with. he has a hard head and i was always the victim! just last night i checked on him before i headed to bed and just thought how crazy it is that i'm a mom. you would think after almost 2 years it would settle in, but sometimes it just blows my mind. i'm so grateful that i have wyatt and i wouldn't change anything! well maybe the lack of money.

my idol

Wyatt is so stinkin cute. I've lost my camera and haven't been able to catch the funny things he has been doing lately. My favorite one has to be while watching American Idol. He loves to watch it, he dances, sings and claps for everyone. It's so funny to watch and is almost more entertaining than the show itself. Hopefully I find my camera soon and can catch his moves on tape!

killer

satan strikes again.. aka that stupid dog, aka jack. and this time i wasn't so lucky. my bosses dog hates me, i'm not really sure why. it may be a territorial thing or just because he's satan. i haven't figured it out. and lucky won't have to again. last wednesday my boss, her kids, wyatt and i decided to go to dinner. everyone was running around getting things cleaned up and getting ready to go. jenn's son went outside in the garage to feed the dog and a few minutes later i grabbed wyatt and started to head to our car. at that same moment jenn decided to check on her son and the dog as she opened the door she noticed the garage door open and satans tail disappearing around the corner.. in my direction. also in that same moment his head popped around the corner and our eyes locked and i knew i was in trouble. i semi turned, opened the door and literally threw wyatt inside and shut the door. according to jenn before i shut the door i told wyatt everything was okay(she was coming back through the house to the front door hoping to stop jack before he got to me). i don't remember much besides opening the door and then screaming. it literally happened so fast! jenn's son was trying to get satan off me and by the time jenn got to the front door and satan saw her it obviously was too late. terrifying? yes. i sat on her porch for a few more seconds and then realized that i better get back in the house before killer decided to strike again. i had no idea where he had gone or who had him at this point. i was in so much shock and tried to calm down enough to calm wyatt down. i'm positive that he was just more upset that i made him go back inside and he was fine after i calmed down myself. however my leg was killing me, i checked my pants and they weren't torn or ripped anywhere so i sat there for a little bit longer kind of in a fog. finally i went to the bathroom to clean my hand off that was bleeding and to asses the damage to me leg. when i finally saw my leg i wanted to cry but was still in so much shock that no tears surfaced. jenn's husband left his work dinner to come home and after a look at my leg we were off to the insta care where i had a super cute doctor and received about a dozen stitches. so needless to say i will most likely be terrified of german shepherds for the rest of my life! the funny thing is that i am probably more of a dog person than anyone in that family. i feel bad for her middle daughter because she was really attached to her dog. but if the dog didn't go, you can bet i would have. so my leg hurts and is really bruised. i will have to get the pictures that my mom took of it yesterday. it's quite different from the pictures below.

i think this is where he first got me, it was by far the deepest and has a majority of stitches

this one is up just above the first one and still pretty knarly.

i am so grateful that i was able to get wyatt back in the house. he would have been majorly traumatized and terrified of dogs for the rest of his life i'm sure. jenn's neighborhood is always really quiet, but at that moment there were a bunch of girls across the street hanging out and a lady walking her two dogs who screamed, picked up her dogs and ran. it was scary to say the least. ugh!
