I sit here, feeling my little Caleb Gene move around in my tummy (it's always a strange feeling), listening to Corban watch his beloved Dora count something on a castle, and I can't but help the feeling of "What's gonna happen?"
The year started alittle rough with the news of my Grandpa. I don't know why, but I didn't even tell anyone that he passed. Not any of my friends, or my cousin's on my Mom's side. Maybe it was the whole concept of "getting over it". Maybe I thought that if I talked about it all the time, or with a bunch of people, then it would be harder to work through it on my own in my head. Anyway! On with other things.
I have 22 days until this little boy is born. Well, it could happen before that, but I'm kinda doubtin' it. Chris's Dad (Big Chris) , and his lady friend (Leanne) is supposed to come visit that same week. I think that Grama Sue will be happy to have more adults for Corban! I havn't met Big Chris yet, but I"m looking forward to it.
I'm apprehensive about the Baby Shower this Saturday. It's day after tomorrow, and there has been no concret plans, RSVP'S, or even a schedule of what will be happening. I know that Nanci is planning it, but it's here at my appartment, and I'm anxious to know how many women will be here. It wouldn't be so bad if I wasn't always feeling like I should take the riens, and do it all myself.
I think that Corban has a few too many food allergy's, and we've discovered that he may be a sleep walker! We woke up thise morning with him gone from his bed! Totally scary until we saw where he went. He walked himself, and his blankie into the living room, and behind my chair, next to the lamp that we keep on during the night. He then laid down, and went back to sleep. Before this, almost everynight, he would get up from his bed, walk into the living room, turn around, and come into our room, and cry until Chris would get up, take him to a chair, and then he would fall right back to sleep. After last night, we think he may just sleep walk. Makes me really glad that we don't have any stairs!
Chris is doing awesome at Walmart. If he keeps his profits up in his department, it'll be the first time in the history of Walmart Meat dept. has kept a profit this long. Quite a big thing! It's been shown more then once that the Meat Dept isn't for profit, it's to bring in customers, and make the rest of the profit making dept's look good. So, for Chris to make a more then 20% profit consistantly is AWESOME! I'm so proud of him!
Life is just flowing by. Soon we will have 2 children, and hopefully not far away from Chris looking at trianing for a promotion. Chris wants to transfer to another store, and for our kids, I don't blame him! It's so hard to get time outside! I believe that kids NEED outside time. My nephews and niece get it, I want my boys to get it too.
Okay, I have to give Corban a bath now. Then it's off to the races! I have lot's to do today, and not enough energy to do it in!
My love

New Year
Okay, so Nanc, and Shadow, you have inspired me to actually do a blog on this year, and my goals that I'm striving for before the 1st of next year.
Well, first and formost I'm going to have this baby, and try to be the best Mom I can be. There are going to be SOO many changes this year, just thinking about it makes my head spin!
So,
1) Have Baby, Heal fast, and get back into full active life.
2) Get back into the cleaning, organizing, and cooking that I did before getting prego.
3) When/If Chris is transfered to another town, don't panic, just take care of my children, and do what I can to prepare to leaving Juneau.
4) Keep this ever so much healthier eating habits. K, I know that after a while I did get back into Carbs, and sugars, this time I resolve to not! Or, if I do, use much more restraint then I did before.
5) Aquire and keep a LARGE savings, and make smarter choices to $$ matters.
6) After Caleb is born, and I'm no longer breast feeding, I WILL NOT go back to smoking, no matter how stressed, and hormone ampped out I get!
7) If Chris ever goes back to smoking, I will do everything I can not to kill him, but no promises.
8) Enchorage Chris, and all of us to continue to go to church, but not be a pestering brat when he's not up to it.
9) I will no longer be a stepping stool for those people that I've always cared about, but never cared enough for me. For those that I make all attempts to contact, call, and invite to things, when they refuse, don't show, or take for granted that I"m just there, I will let them go. All of the peole to take me for granted NEVER ASSUME THEY WILL LOSE ME. But they will. Too many years have been spent waiting for others outside of my Family to even simply call me back. I won't anymore. Polite, and curtious is what I'll be, but I'll no longer put myself out there for others to use when it's only merely convient for them, and to be conviently absent when it is that I need them. It hurts too much to be used in such a way, and my energy is better spent on my Children. Even if that means that I eventually say good bye to almost everyone, so be it. It may not make much sense, and that's okay.
10) When a "friend" drops me, I'll walk away too.
11) No matter how much family hurts me, I still love them, and when they become "unwierd", and stop hurting me, I'm here. Family is different then "friends"
12) I'll stop thinking others are as considerate as I am.
13) I will work on my physical health, and enchorage my husband to work on his.
14) Clutter will not live in my home!
15) I will watch LESS TV, and listen to more music, and make my Children do so as well.
16) I will use every impliment I can to help my children grow, and learn as much as they can. Bring on the books, and foriegn language video's!
17) I will strive to not only define myself as a good person, but as a better person for my Family.
18) I will continue to strive to be a standing persona that my children can look up to someday. I will enchorage and support my Husband to do that same.
19) I will expose my children to the wonders of outdoors, playing, hiking, and being out in it!
and last, but not least
20) I vow that all of my goals will not be accomplished in this order, but rather as a constant self awareness, and believe that I can, and are doing them.
Okay, so there's my long list. I think that they are ALL do-able.
