OH HAPPY DAY !!!

Well my day so far is WONDERFUL, even though i got soaked coming in the door for work, its still wonderful!!! Why? you ask is her rainsoaked morning so wonderful ? Weelllll for starters Jody slept from 8:30 last night til 7:30 this morning!!!! So that meant a complete night of uninteruppted sleep, which is just plain awesome in itself. Then this morning when i got ready for work i decided to try once again MY blue jeans.....you know my "fat" jeans, which have not even came close to going all the way over my huge thighs since i had jody, but hey a girls gotta try right? (i have been trying every other day since i came home from hosp to get into these things!!) So i tried, and up they went over the thighs.....nice......over the butt.....even nicer.....holy cow all the way up to my waist!!!! sooooo then of course came the last test.......will they button and zip??? so i held my breath and THEY DID !!!! i couldnt believe it, i have gotten into my fav comfy jeans!!!! early i said they were my "fat " jeans, by that i meant the ones you only really wear at that time of the month, the only ones that feel as comfortable as a pair of sweats, these jeans have been with me for almost 10 years now, and today i love them even more !!! i tell ya theings i get excited about , my jeans !!!!

Remember in an earlier post i talked about how much alex is like me??? well i have proof now, the child bought a book on wed on his way to florida and finished it thursady morning!!! he even uses a reciept for a bookmark!!!

Thanksgiving and all that jazz!!

Well i had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!! About a week before my ex mil called and asked if i was gonna be home for the holiday, i said sure am, why whats up? Well we were thinking about bringing Alex down!! (HELL YEAH!!!) So to make a long story short I had BOTH my boys for Thanksgiving, the best present ever~!! He got here on wed and stayed until sat morning. It really was wonderful. WE got up on t-day and started cooking, i made a pretty good little meal for the four of us. Two kinds of turky breast, my grannys dressing, green beans, white peas and rice and biscuits. For desert we had a pecan pie. It was a really nice meal. After i had everything started we pulled out the christmas tree and started working on it. Jason and Alex assembled and put the lights on the tree, so then all i had to do was put on the ornaments. it turned out sooo nice.......then on friday morning we all got up and got gussied up to go out and take family pictures!!! They turned out absolutely wonderful, cant wait to share them with you!!

Back to Work!!! UGGGHHHH!!!

WEll..... All tooo soon I am back to the grind!! Baby Jody made it here on Sept 30 th 2008 at 12:52 pm. He weighed in at 7lbs 6 oz and 20 1/2 inches long. The surgery went fine and we are both ok. Hard to believe but he is already a month old. He is soo adorable and such a great baby. Never crys unless he needs something. We had some company here while i waas on maternity leave. Jasons mom stayed for about 4-5 days longer than the rest of his family to help us out, and she was a great help!!! I really appreciuated her staying with us. Also my good friend Sarra came and stayed for a week with us. That was really great. See I dont really have any friends here in the fla, so to be able to have a great friend from childhood come and stay for a week was really awesome. Nice to have a alittle girl time and all that. It was a really good visit. We had a lot of fun. mainly just hung out at the house the whole time, but thats what she preferred to do and its what i love to do (esp when i have no clothes that fit AT ALL). We did all go out one night and she let me and jason have a couple of drinks and offered to get up with jody thru the night, which was really nice.. I kinda regretted it afterwords, i had a touch of a hangover after only two drinks, but once i got up and about it was all good. Oh so i get back to work to find out that they have blocked MYSPACE, and all free email accounts, which really FREAKIN SUX ASS!!!! You see i only have computer access at work, so now i have no way besides my blog to update pictures for my family and friends back home. And i cant even email them pics. Kinda had me a little down, but hey what can i do right? OH well !!!

So with that being said now i have to post a but load of pics on here, so enjoy!!!

I've been Tagged!!!

So my sister Mandy tagged me.......So here ya go 7 funky things about me:)

1. I think sometimes that i have ADD......Cannot for the life of me keep my attention on one thing at one time......for instance this am i was carrying on a conversation with my "girls" and also 3 different instant messaging conversations at the same time......crazy!!


2. I come up with off the wall sayings all the time, say them once and never remeber them again.......most cause people to look at me like "what just came outta her mouth?"


3. I am a PIG!!!! I wake up thinking about food, go to sleep thinking about food.....I know i am preggers right now, but this is NORMAL for me.....very NORMAL!!!!! If the food in front of me is really really good, no matter how full i am i will continue to eat until i make myself sick unless i make someone take it away......no joke here very serious.....im probably borderline having some kind of a eating disorder.....


4. I have a new addiction, i will kill time all day long at work reading blogs.......random blogs, people i have never nor will never meet in my life......i just find other peoples lives fasinating, very fastenating...


5. BOOKS, I love them!!! My mom got me started when i was like 9 or 10 with a book from the book club thingy they used to send home in elementary school, you know the paper thingys.....it was that book about the boy being raised by the wolves......then she started letting me read her "scary books" stuff by John Saul, Stephen King, Dean Koontz.....yeah at 10-11 yr old i was reading that stuff. I loved them !!! I love to read, Its my worst addiction, sometimes I will read 3 books a week....I have read everything of intrest to me at my local library, its almost a sickness i SWEAR!!! i wont read the same book twice, cant do it.....Oh and I NEVER can remember the names of the book, if you describe a little of what it is about i can tell you if i read it or not, but not by the titles.....


6. I'm kinda a weirdo.......can never really describe myself, i just cant put into words what i think of myself......maybe becuase i never really think about myself? I really dont know, just know the best way to describe is WEIRD!!! Not really a tomboy, not nearly a girly girl, not even really in between.......im just me!!!


7. Make-up........never wear it.....unless it is a special occaison, I used to try to wear it at least once a week to work and try to fix the hair at least once a week......Not so much anymore, I really am lazy when it comes to my appearance, I really would love to be one of those women that get up 2 hours ahead of the time they walk out the door to look "good" and "put together" every day, but i just cannot do it!!! I am NOT a morning person.....Honestly I really have tried, it just doesnt happen, even after 3 years of getting up between 6 and 630 to walk out the door at 8am.....i know you might say well tonya that is 1 1/2 hours of time to get up and get ready, but you have to realize that it takes me an hour alone to just WAKE UP!!! that other 30 min is shower, getting dressed etc.......i know that is sad, but it is me !!!

Well there ya go 7 "funky" facts about me!!! i guess the funkiest part about it all is just me !! enjoy folks !! oh and Sarra you are tagged !!

Mystery solved......What Jody will look like!!!! (lol)

WELL......since i have basically got the "girls" trained fully and i am just sooooo over being at work any more .....ok ok ok.....i admit it I am being lazy as hell from here on out!!!! Anyway today while goofing off, doing what is my new addiction (reading random blogs)...I found this one blog where the lady found this website called makemebabies.com. So i went to check it out. I did one just to see what it would say that Jody will look like. Amazingly it turned out a little like what he might actually look like. What really got me is that they have him having my nose!!! Which for 1. was the first thing i noticed about Alex when he was born 2. it is a very prominent feature of my family. So he probably will have my nose.......just kinda fun to do and look at....it is on the side bar right over there....let me know what you think !!!

HAPPY!! HAPPY !! JOY!! JOY!!!

Well I was given a "friendly reminder" yesterday that it has now been 3 whole weeks since i updated this thing.......lol :). My excuse was that i have been training "my girls" at work to take over what i do while i go and have a baby:). Which considering the huge amount of stuff that is invoilved in my job has been a huge undertaking. I hope no one takes offense to me calling them "my girls", i say it this for a couple of reasons, main one being i am not politically correct in any way shape or form, never have been never will be, i am just an old southern girl, kinda rednecky in some ways and i just found it easier to call them that, the other reason being that they are both 10 years younger than me, so in my book they are still girls. hehehehe, i know they love that , because i constantly give them hell about being so young. (hows that for a run on sentence? ).........

So now that you know what has held me up let me fill you in on the past three weeks!!

For the first two of those weeks nothing exciting or memborable happened at all!! And when i say nothing I mean nothing!!! No exciting news , nothing. Now in the past week or so some exciting stuff has happened, that i have not been able to attend. Really wish i could have been at both events but unfortunately i couldnt :( 1st thing being my youngest nephew, Colin's second birthday. My sister Mandy threw him a big ol birthday bash, really creative i might add. The stuff she did and ideas she came up with i never would have thought about. Honestly that woman is pretty amazing, she is my idol. She has 3 boys, is going to nursing school and her husband of 13 years is in Iraq for a year. How she does it all i will never know. Like I pretty amazing lady right there!!!

The other event that I missed was Colinda's little girls 2nd birthday party. She also like my sister went all out. They had crafts and go fishing and games and pinatas etc etc etc. I swear if i only had an ounce of their creativity, i just dont even know what i would do, I guess some pretty amazing things !!! lol ........AND last but not least the most exciting news is that my doctors office called me on monday and scheduled my c-section !!!! whoooo hoooo hip hip hooray!!! It is scheduled for sept 30th at noon.........can we say EXCITED!!!! Cannot wait !!! I hope that doesnt souind too horrible, But i am just not a happy pregnant woman. If there was a way i could have avoided the whole 9 months of pregnancy and him just be here, believe me i would have. This pregnancy wasnt near as bad as my first, but still i am just not a plesant person to be around. Hell i think i almost lost my job over it and my "attitude". So i will be sooo very happy when the 3oth gets here. Never thought i would be happy about being cut open, but i say HELLZ YEAHZ!!!! BRING IT ON!!! I think that is about all i have to say about that.......lol. I really cannot think of anything more to say for now, so i will leave you with a picture or two of the bday boy and girl.....amybe a fat one of meself:) enjoy peoples......!!!! ehehehehehh......See ya'll in another 3 weeks lol

Part 2 of the baby shower story

Well yesterday i did not have time to finish the post on my baby shower, sorry!!! So here is the conclusion to that.

As i was saying Colinda set the whole thing up with a little help from Kristen her brothers girlfriend, and they really did a great job as you can see from the pictures. We had a nice turn out it was just family. My mom, jasons mom and sister, my granny and colindas mom, it was really nice and intimate. I loved every aspect of it. They did this one game where i was blindfolded and had to change the diaper on a teddy bear. I was thinking to myself ok no prob here i can handle this!!! Well as you can imagine, nothing is ever as it seems........as soon as i started to change the diaper they started squirting me with a water gun!!! It was absolutely Hilarious!!!! Me being the trooper i am continued to change the diaper with no prob, yea me !!

Below you will find a video of the incident in question !!! All in all it turned out really great and we all had a wonderful time, cant say thank you enough colinda and kirsten you are two great and wonderful women!!!

Surprise baby shower.....

So this is a really over due blog, but seeing as how I really just started blogging here it is.

I went home to Georgia the first week in July to spend time with my oldest son Alex for his summer vacation. While there the pretty blode above (who has been my best friend for 28 years) had decided to throw me a Surprise Baby Shower !!! How sweet is that? I mean really I am soooo Blessed to have a friend like that!!!

MINI ME???

So last night I call and talk to my son Alex ( he lives in GA with his dad), it was his first day back to school and i wanted to know how the day went. So I asked him how was the first day back? "Well I had a really horrible day today!!!" I said I'm sorry to hear that son, what happened to make your day so bad? " WELL to start off with I had to wait an hour on my bus to get here!!!!" I said sorry to hear that, what eles happened? Well that was pretty much it. IT was all i could do not to burst out in laughter. I mean if you know me, you know I am not a morning person, and you also know that the tiniest thing will set me off some days ESPECIALLY if it happens first thing in the morning, IT WILL ruin my entire day!!! So to hear that from my 10 year old, and it being so close to something i would say or how i would react to the same situation, is just so funny to me..........It really is crazy how much our offspring can be sooo much like us or so unlike us........I personally love it, needless to he is not a morning person either, never has been, never will be, JUST LIKE ME !!!! lol I love it , I love my mini me !!!!

Does everyone have a case of the "Mondays" today?

So it seems to me that everyone today is crabby crabby crabby!!! Which when you are already a little bit on the hormonal side and have no patience left whatsoever just makes life that much more unbearable, and makes me that more likely to nut up

my first time

Well, where do i begin? I guess i could start by telling you a bit about myself hmmm...well i am 31 years old, I am a mother to a 10 year old boy and 7 months pregnant with my second son. I am engaged to my boyfriend of 4 years, and i work in the accts recivable dept of an electronics company. I dont have a very exciting life, actually nothing really ever happens.......so I really dont know why i am starting this blog, other than the fact that my sister keeps bugging me about starting one!!! lol and besides i have a sick addiction to reading random blogs wheni am bored at work. so for now i guess that is it, like i said nothing exciting going on here, just ready to have this baby and meet my little Jody Thomas Oliver!!!!
