Nothing much going on here

Not much going on here. Emmy and I have been really lazy this week for some reason. Em usually wakes up around 7:30am and thats when we get up. But for some reason this week we have been getting up later and later. Today we slept in until 11:30. OMYGOSH!! I couldn't beleive it. I even asked Rich to wake me up this morning to make sure I got up and did the morning chores and our walk. I guess I'm going to have to set all three of my alarms to make sure I get up. I hate mornings if ya can't tell. Emmy and I have decided to start taking walks three times a day. Its all in hope that I loss the weight I have gained. We have more fresh veggies in the house since I have decided to loss the weight, than we ever have had. As of Monday I am going to start getting up before my hubby and go for an hour walk. I know I know I have to actually get up to start doing it. My guess is that once I actually start doing it I will look forward to walking alone. Dont get me wrong, Emmy is fun to walk with but I cant go out for that long with her cus she hates to stay in the stroller. I havent found any place around here that is meant for a mother and child to walk. Thats one of the reasons we go three times a day.
I have great news also! I have enough money saved up to go back home. I am leaving Kansas City on may 19 for Forsyth MT. It is going to take me two days to get up there. Okay okay a day and a half. LOL. I am taking Emmy with me. Rich cant get off work. Plus I dont know where we would stay if he came with me. We are going to spend the night of the 19th with my Uncle and his family. He lives in Nebraska. From there we are going straight through. I'm guessing its going to take me about 13 to 14 hrs to get up there. Thats one of the reasons I'm planning on leaving really really early in the morning of the 20th. To get as many miles in as possible before Emmy wakes up. I really am hoping she is going to turn out to be a good traveler. Otherwise its going to be a really long ride. I have even started a list of all the items I need to pack. I'm even trying to cross off some of them in hopes not to be over loaded. I am going to be taking my moms Escape instead of taking my zx2. And talking of vehicles!! Rich and I are finally going to get a new vehicle in July!! His child support is going to be done and over with for both his son and is grandson. We have decided to get a Dodge Caliber. Its going to be so nice to have a four door vehicle! Anyways its time to fix Emmy lunch and go for our after noon walk. Laterz

WOW...HAVENT BEEN ON HERE IN AWHILE

I KNOW I HAVEN'T BEEN ON HERE FOR AWHILE. I HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN VERY BUSY. EMMY IS NOW 17 MONTHS OLD AND SHE IS GOING 90 MILES AN HOUR. I HAVE ALSO BEEN TAKING CARE OF EVERYTHING IN THE HOUSE INSTEAD OF WAITING TO DO IT ALL ON THE WEEKEND. EMMY AND I HAVE STARTED TO TAKE WALKS EVERYDAY TO HELP RUN OFF HER ENERGY AND FOR ME TO LOSS THE WEIGHT. EMMY HAS DECIDED SHE LIKES THE PLAY PIANO WE GOT HER. SHE PLAYS ON IT MOST OF THE TIME. WHO KNOWS MAYBE I HAVE A PRODIGY ON MY HANDS. LMAO ONE OF EMMYS FAVORITE THINGS TO DO DURING THE DAY IS TO PLAY WITH A BALL WE GOT HER. WE ROLL IT AROUND AND BOUNCE IT AT THE CAT. SHE PLAYS WITH EVIL (THE CAT) ALL THE TIME. I REALLY CANT BELIEVE HOW TOLERANT HE IS OF HER. EMMY HAS ALSO LEARNED TO HOLD MY HAND WHEN WE GO SHOPPING. I CANT BELIEVE HOW MUCH SHE IS GROWING UP. SHE HAS ENOUGH HAIR NOW THAT I CAN PULL IT INTO A PONYTAIL ON TOP OF HER HEAD. SHE LOOKS SOO CUTE WITH IT IN. BUT OF COURSE SHE HATES IT. WE USUALLY WATCH A DISNEY CLASSIC MOVIE IN THE AFTERNOON AND SHE PULLS HER LITTLE ROCKING CHAIR OUT INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE FLOOR. SHE HAS ALSO STARTED TO HELP ME IN THE KITCHEN AT TIMES. LOL. WHEN I MAKE COOKIES SHE STANDS ON HER STEP STOOL AND HELPS ME MEASURE THE INGREDIENTS AND THEN HELPS ME PUSH THE BUTTON TO MAKE IT MIX. OF COURSE HER FAVORITE PART IS TO HELP ME CLEAN UP AFTERWARDS. SHE GETS TO LICK THE BATTER OFF THE BEATERS. LOL

RICH AND I ARE DOING BETTER ALSO. WE ARE ACTUALLY TALKING MORE AND FIGURING OUT WHAT EACH OF US WANTS FROM THE OTHER. OUR SEX LIFE IS ACTUALLY THERE NOW. WE ARE ALSO GETTING CAUGHT UP ON THE BILLS AND THAT IS HELPING A BUNCH. HE ISNT ALWAYS PLAYING HIS XBOX NOW WHEN HE COMES HOME. HE IS NOW PLAYING WITH EMMY AND CUDDLING WITH ME. ITS AWESOME TO EXPERIENCE THE GROWTH OF OUR RELATIONSHIP. I HAVE STOPPED NIT-PICKING AT HIM AND TELLING WHAT HE HAS TO DO. I'VE ACTUALLY STARTED TO ASK AND THEN WHEN HE DOES WHAT I ASKED OF HIM I TELL HIM HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE WHAT HE DID. I HAVE ALSO LEARNED HOW TO COOK. ITS AMAZING WHAT CAN HAPPEN WHEN YOU STAY AT HOME AND LOOK AT ALL THE WEBSITES ON HOW TO COOK. I EVEN BOUGHT THE HOW TO COOK FOR DUMMIES BOOK. LOL I AM ACTUALLY TRYING TO DO THE WHOLE HOUSE WIFE THING. I'M EVEN LOOKING AT TAKING COLLEGE COURSES ONLINE. JUST A FEW AT A TIME THO SO I CAN STILL KEEP UP WITH EVERYTHING HERE.

RICH AND I ARE GOING TO LOOK AT VEHICLES THIS WEEKEND. WE ARE GOING TO GET A NEW(ER) VEHICLE IN JULY. SO WE ARE TEST DRIVING AND LOOKING AHEAD OF TIME SO WE CAN SAFE UP THE MONEY. I AM SO HAPPY TO BE GETTING A GROWN UP CAR. LOL. WE ARE LOOKING FOR A SMALL SUV OR MAYBE JUST A FOUR DOOR CAR. WHO KNOWS, RIGHT NOW WE ARE JUST LOOKING AT WHATS OUT THERE AT THE MOMENT.

I GUESS I SHOULD GET OFF OF HERE. SOUNDS LIKE EMMY HAS WOKE UP. I WILL TRY AND GET ON HERE AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK
