Sigh...

I know that my child is a mamma's boy. This is inevitable, obviously. Wyatt is so good with people, he loves everyone, he plays like he is shy and all that cute fun stuff. So obviously at some point my perfect little child would have to have a flaw right? I have now found that flaw.

GYM DAY CARE!! I was so thrilled to upgrade my membership so that I could use the day care while I worked out. It eliminates trying to find someone to watch wyatt... drive him to them, drive back to the gym, then back to get wyat and so on. I think you get the point.

First experience with the day care couldn't have gone better and the second time as well. Few tears were shed and each time I picked him up he was playing with other kids. I was so excited!

The third experience is where it all hit the fan. I signed him in and dropped him off as usual, went to the cinema room (coolest thing ever) and 15 minutes later one of the cute girls had to come find me because "wyatt just won't calm down". Sure enough.. there is my child bawling hysterically. So we signed out and left the gym. And the boy didn't calm down, he cried in the car, he cried when we got home, the whole time I was in the shower... I was so baffled by the whole situation. And it happened again yesterday. I did get a longer work out however, but not by much. I'm just thankful the girls are so nice about it and understanding.

Now I don't know what to do or how to break my child of me. I am now wishing that I would have upgraded six months ago when I first thought about it, so that he was used to being around other kids and having other people watch him. Wyatt is with me 24/7, he is great with other people because, HELLO ASHLEY, you're standing right there! He stops what he is doing just to come give me a hug. Yes... it is adorable, but what happens when he starts going to school? Is he going to be doing his art project and stop to give me a hug and I'm not there and then just lose it? K so over reaction, but i'm kind of freaking out. So.. um any suggestions?

Food for thought...

Have you ever walked out of a grocery store feeling like you just made the worst purchase of your life? Like you wanted to turn around walk back into the store and just tell them you've changed your mind?


In my "time of the month" state of mind (tmi but get over it), I feel that way right now. I'm halfway surprised that I didn't walk out of there with a case of beer. I got in my car, looked down at my purchase and was embarrassed. I'm so glad that I didn't run into someone I knew. And No I am not being dramatic. I even went in the self check out lane! For instance beef jerky, honestly who just buys beef jerky? And totinos pizza, who's only purpose is for a midnight snack. I'm not even going to mention the other things that made their way into my basket. From now on I am going to prohibit myself from making any food purchases in the future during this time.

Just some randoms!

Wyatt turned 1!

Holy Crap I made it a year!
We had a fun birthday party for Wyatt on Saturday. Thanks to everyone who came and all who helped. It meant a lot and was a very special day for us! He loves his gifts and I love that my house is covered in toys! I will post more pictures once I steal them from Kate's camera.

He had such a fun time and the second we put him in his stroller to clean up he was passed out!

It's been booked! We finally got together to plan our friends trip next month. We had dinner at Kylie and Clayton's house and it was a lot of fun. Kylie's dad found an awesome deal in Mesquite at the Oasis resort. So we booked our rooms and I'm super excited. We plan on spending one day in Vegas and probably the other in St George. It's not the fanciest trip in America, but I am so excited to get away!

Oh and I'm addicted to Guitar Hero. I like to think that I'm getting pretty good at it. Shaun might disagree. But it's so fun to play! It's probably a good thing I do not own it myself, or I would NEVER get any sleep!

Rant

You all can blame this one on #3 Countrywide. It's what got my anger rolling! These things all bug me for the time being. So I am going to let em out!

1. Truck Drivers. You all are a bunch of idiots and I think you should only be able to drive in the slow lane. And I applaud Mr red titan truck, he refused to get out of the way and even when honked at, turned on his blinker but didn't get in the other lane for about 3 minutes. It was awesome and made me smile.
2. The stare down. You know when someone is tailing you; because apparently they have somewhere better to be; and when they pass you in a fit of rage they give you the stare down. Come on really? Get over yourself. See ya at the next red light jack @ss!
3. Countrywide. There are no words to explain the hatred I feel for this company right now. In the real estate industry, dealing with short sales it never fun. Some banks are easier to work with than others. But being told that our file was "accidentally closed out on May 15th" and that we should have resubmitted everything back then makes me want to reach through the phone and literally choke someone. I have been dealing with this group of idiots for 8 freaking months and for the past three months all I have had is smoke blown up my @! *trying to breathe* Ridiculous I tell you. I have now been on the phone for 43 minutes and am being transferred YET again. I hate them.
4. Taco Bell on 1700 W 12600 S. There is no reason one should wait 20 + minutes in a drive thru or lobby just to get a taco. NO REASON. They have one person who runs the drivet hru window and the lobby and he is slower than tar! And I'm pretty sure he rode the short bus to school, not that there is anything wrong with that. But get the poor kid some help!
5. My neighbors music. Should one really have to listen to your music through the ceiling at 2 in the morning? Green day was cool and all... back in 8th grade. I don't want to have to listen to it all night and sing it in my sleep. And dear neighbor, do you ever sleep?! Plus your dad is creepy.
6. Pestering. I guess that's the right word... We will call you Carl. I know you mean well, I really do. And I appreciate your concern and support. But when you go running with me (which I'm pretty sure I'll never let you come again) be nice. Telling me I'm a wuss doesn't help, and after the fifth time up the bleachers please don't laugh and ask me if I'm tired. Of course my @ is tired! We just did a mile and now were doing bleachers... yup pretty sure I'm getting tired. Stop laughing at me jerk. I'm having flashbacks of soccer practice with my dad.
7. Bachelorette. Jesse really? Sister come on. Jesse is a nice guy and sometimes looks kinda cute. But he is that boyfriend that EVERY girl has had. You think he's totally cool for about 2 weeks, until you wake up. He snowboards... yup. I hope Jason is the next Bachelor. He's cute!

I think that is it for now. Thanks!

Party Time, Excellent!

ONE!
My baby is no longer a baby.
Wyatt's birthday is on July 12th (Next Saturday). We will be having a small party with cake and ice cream in the afternoon. I haven't pinned down all the details, because just today it dawned on me that in deed, his birthday is in one week. It has gone by so fast! He is so funny and he even waved at me today while my mom was holding him. Aw! Anyway, I will get all the details put together and would love for everyone to come if you can! If you can e-mail me gibbsashleyj@gmail.com or call me. I'm not going to post all the details on my blog. I don't want his birthday turning into some weird creep stalker fest. So that's the plan! Next Saturday!

Wyatt Sargent

My little man will be turning ONE in seventeen days! I called him Sarge the other day and my mom said that everyone called her Sarge in high school. Not sure she really enjoyed it though! He is so dang funny and easy going.

I really need a vacation! Wyatt and I are going to St George in August with my friends, but I feel like that is a century away! I have this totally bad attitude lately at work that will hopefully be cured once I am away and work free!

This may be too much information, so I apologize right now. But I have discovered a new thing that I absolutely can not stand and it's the sound of men peeing. Honestly it is the loudest thing ever! I had to plug my ears this morning because I could hear my bosses husband peeing. I can't stand it. I hate it so much I would actually put it in the top 5 hates of my life.

Turn on the fan for heaven sakes!

So here I am eating string cheese. Wyatt is sleeping. My boss is at a closing. And I pretty much would just like to take a nap. Which I just might do. I am running on no caffeine for TWO days now. Which ya! But holy cow I'm about to crash. Anyway... I think that's pretty much all I have to say. Sorry Mike, nothing too exciting or provocative!

How can you tell?

So, I hate dating. I think it's the worst thing in america. I don't understand why you can't just be like "Hey you, I like you" and they say "Ya, I like you too" and then you just get married. I don't see what the problem with that would be. Honestly!

Okay, so I do see what the problem with that would me. The divorce rate would be even higher than it is now. But really why does it have to be so hard? Do I make it hard? And how can you really tell a guy is into you and for all the right reasons? I am such an impatient person when it comes to this kind of thing. Especially if I like the other person. I don't want to be too over bearing, say stupid things that girls say; which CLEARLY I've already done. "Dont Hate" is all he had to say to my stupid girl text! *sigh*

So all you smug marrieds out there well and single ladies that have more of a life than I do. How can you tell if he's into you? And how do I not read into every stupid thing he says to me? I'm going crazy as you can tell. This is the sort of thing that makes me want to pull my hair out!

Help?!

Even if you don't really know who I am and are just a passer by, or a blog stalker, or a friend of a friend... Your advice is welcomed!
