Yeah, I know. My room looks completly different! It is, I remodeled and cleaned. And I plan to keep it clean! Here is hoping...and hope you enjoyed seeing how i spent my day!!! LOL

Cleaning day....take 4...my room...BEFORE(scary)

This is my room...the worst room of ALL the downstairs(which is mine and Vincents domain...save it be for the laundry room). It was PRETTY bad...wait til you see the after.

I so totally rock at cleaning.

Updated Vincent pics!

Since i know he is really who ya'all want to see, here are some updated pics of him as well! ISNT HE CUTE! I cant believe he is almost 17 months...time is flying so fast!

Any who...back to cleaning. Enjoy! I will post more later.

Mommy pics

Cleaning day, take 3

There was no before pic for my game room...i kinda had it mostly cleaned up last week. But this is where i watch my movies, enjoy my internet, and have a haven when vincent is asleep(and i cant sleep...LOL)

Cleaning day, take 2

Here is Vincents room AFTER the cleaning fairy(aka MOM) hit.

Cleaning day

Today is cleaning day. Here are pictures of Vincents room BEFORE the cleaning. Yeah...pretty bad...ugh...

Divorce still a long way from being finalized, tonite I am thinking of going online and filling out the online form and seeing if Josh can just sign and agree to what we have set and get this crap done.

Then we will work on getting the stupid classes out of the way.

I am 22 now, woot...not a very exciting birthday. I think I have bypassed the excitement. So here I am. 22, soon to be divorced mom of a beautiful baby boy! :-) Guess he isnt so much baby any more...but life just keeps going.

Vincent is 16.5 months old. Man the time goes way too fast.

I will work on loading new pics. :-)

Any who...there is the update for now. More to come.

oops

Sorry its been a while since I updated. Vincent and family returned safely from their trip, but Vincent was sick. He is better now, and now his mommy is sick. Lots of little infections and the dr at the ER said something about endometriosis. So I have a dr. appt set up soon to find out if that is really whats going on...I hope not...I want to have one more kid...but we will see how life goes.

Divorce papers have not been filed yet, I know I know...I just am dragging because im so scared of things getting ugly between Josh and I. Bah...I just want our classes done and get this stuff files.

Im working on it.

I will post pics soon, but for right now im gonna head back to work. Gotta love technical support. I talk to the craziest, funniest people...and cant solve every problem. But its great.

So today my little Vincent is going on a trip with Grandma, Grandpa, Auntie, and his 2 Step-Uncles. They are going to oregon, to go whale watching and have fun...and it gives me 9 days of being single and no child. Im so scared about being alone, but im excited for the chance to relax.

I was joking with my mom that I wont be home most of the time she is gone. But honestly, I am planning on cleaning my room, Vincents room and the game room. Then I will carpet clean(my room has water damage to the carpets due to water leaking. BLAH!).

Once that is done, I will probably work upstairs as well and get the carpets cleaned in the living room. Vincent likes to play with his food(as most toddlers do) and so there are spots all over the living room. LOL.

I cried when leaving home to come to work. I came to work late because I wanted to be able to cuddle my boy for a bit. *sigh*

Any who...have a great day.

http://www.sltrib.com/news/ci_6379794 so I was at the scene of a crime, and the stuff appears in a news story...*sigh* Gotta love drama. Enjoy the story. If you know me you'll know where im involved in all of this.

there, I told you I would post pics.

Well I officially have my own computer now. Now its all up to me to load pics and everything. will probably work on that later.

My computer has a 160 Gb HDD, 2 Gig memory, awesome video and everything. :-)

Thanks to Josh for not hating me, so that he can build it. I didnt want to screw anything up.

My weekend was way too long, but fun. I am going to be dog tired come work tomorrow at six freaking AM. Blah.

Any who...here is an update. I will do more later. Rah.

So now that Josh and I are no longer together, he is being a complete and utter asshole. Wont let me eat alone, because he wants to talk. Then just makes me feel guilty, which is stupid.

So today Josh knew we have a family reunion to go to, and was trying to say vincent cant go because its his night. But this has been informed to him for a couple weeks. I got mad, and then he HAD to come home on lunch(take note im driving) and grab his stuff.

OH! And he never had his license the entire time we are together, and he freaking calls the DMV NOW and finds he only has to pay 30 dollars and his drivers license will be reinstated. So he is just NOW going to get his damn license, and start driving. ARGH!

He also works out now, doesnt get on the game as much, yadda yadda yadda. So apparently being married to me is so miserable he had to make my life miserable. EFFING A!

So I am doing my best to be the nice one, and he is being an ass. I am ready to hit something, but dont want to hurt myself. Good freaking god.

thanks for reading. I can breath now.

So yesterday I was able to take my sister in law home, but she fainted before getting out the doors of the hospital. It took 3 hours to do what I thought was going to be only 30 minutes. *sigh*

I hope she is ok. She had to have a total of 3 blood transfusions, and now that her milk has come in and its extremly painful we have a lot to worry about. Well...I really shouldnt worry. But if you know anything about me, you will know that I take on more worry than I should.

So her little guy is fine, thriving. Itty bitty and all that jazz. Brooke is looking pretty darn good for having just had a kid. I just hope she stays alive...its been pretty scary.

Josh keeps saying he wants to work things out, and I am not sure I do. This would be his 3rd chance, and I just dont think I can go thru this all over again. I worry that if I give him another chance, I will feel like I wasted myself to another year of just trying.

He thinks he is ready to quit playing so many video games, start working out, finally get his license...I love this guy. I really do. I just dont know...so please do not post any judgements of him. I am just trying to get some of the stuff off my mind...and it really isnt working...*sigh*

So tomorrow I will be helping my friend with her flower arrangements for her wedding. The wedding planner had to skip out, and I guess I got a little of my mom in me and know how to arrange flowers a little bit. So we will see how that goes. My friend gets married saturday, so I will also help get stuff set up. Her reception doesnt start until 6, and I will probably be there until 11 or 12. But it will be worth it...she knows how to party it up. LOL

I am excited. So any who...if you cant tell I have ADD with the fact that my transitions do not exist and there are at least 3 topics of conversations still going on in my head...yeah...dangit!

Have a good day!

Poor little Vincent(or is it poor mommy and grandma and grandpa?).

He was up most of the night just crying and moaning. I think he is popping out a molar, and he is one miserable little snot.

I couldnt get to sleep until 11:30. I might need to invest in Tylenol PM. But I couldnt relax. So I took a hot bath, go to sleep. My mom was the one who had to wake me up and hand me my little guy and he was just crying and whining. He didnt go back to sleep for a good hour. And he slept for maybe 2 hours and woke up screaming again. I cuddled him and tried my darndest to console him.

So I am here, at work, about to take the final test for the job. RAH! I hope this tooth pops out soon so that everyone in the house can sleep again.

My sister in law might not be getting out of the hospital today, she had to have 2 transfusions of blood because she is clotting and bleeding horribly. I am so scared. I hope everything goes ok with her. Her little guy is so cute. I will try posting pics and all that jazz soon.

So there is your new update. Go me...im trying to get back into the blogging way. HOORAH!

omg, the weekend

So I went to my friends bachelorette party at Area 51(club) and it was so much fun. I had 2 mixed drinks and 2 shots. I was still in control of myself, and danced my butt off! :-)

The sad part tho...I got home around 4am and fell asleep. Aparently my sister in laws water broke around 9am, and she was calling me to come. I was supposed to be in the delivery room with her. She finally found a ride to the hospital, and called me again. I get there not even 30 minutes after she calls and they already had cut her open and had the baby out.

I missed everything...and im bawling in the lobby feeling like a failure when I was supposed to be there holding Brookes hand(plus...headache didnt help...bah). But after that Brooke was wheeled into the recovery room, I told her I was so sorry and she said it was fine. She is glad that I was able to finally have fun and relax with all the stress going on in my life.

Poor Brooke...all cut and bruised and drugged. She had a scheduled C-section set up for Thursday the 12th, since this is her 9th kid and she had a previous C-section with her last one, and one c-section prior. They didnt want to risk the uterus rupturing.

So I guess they put a rush on the c-section and I missed it...*sigh*

Then I went to the nursery to look in the window at cute little Eli Dane Andrews, and he is just so itty bitty...hooked up to oxygen making sure his lungs are good. I wander back to Brooke and bawl all over again. He was born @ 11:46am. 6lbs exactly and 17". Just this little thing....So precious.

Brooke got her tubes tied while they were in there, since this was her 9th(and i said NINTH) and final child.

So any who...life is crazy right now. I did NOT hook up with anyone at the club, I was there for the Bachelorette party and I am just freshly single. I am NOT doing rebound, and im not hooking up with some dude from the club. Go me...drinking and no nookie! I am a good girl! LOL

And soon I will be posting even more, as soon as I build my computer that should be in the next week or so. Woo...

Any who...signing off now. Mom, stepdad and Vincent are hiking somewhere and I need to get my room and the downstairs cleaned up so I can start fresh and new with my life. Hoorah!

yeah...life sucks...

I am glad for those of you who still check in on this blog. I know I really should update more, but between school, work, parenting and life I have been overwhelmed.

Josh and I are getting a divorce. No rush on divorce, but he is going to be completly moved out by this weekend. It is an amicable split, and we are still going to be friends. So far, we have talked and agree on all the terms to this. So it should be cut and dry.

I feel numb tho, and have a hard time getting hungry. Josh said that we should be done on Monday....it was hard to focus in school...

I have taken the rest of this term off, but will go back for the next term starting September 10th. There is no way im letting my education get away from me. I just need time to adjust to being single again.

*sigh* I have not been single for more than 2 weeks since I was 15...I feel lost and alone. It sucks. But I am grateful to have my friends and family, and im still going to be good friends with my sister in law Brooke and Bianca. I got too close to them to dissapear now.

So yeah, i dont hate the male species. I dont hate Josh. It just makes more sense to leave now while we can remain buddies....then to drag it longer and potentially hate eachother.

So there...I updated. Now...back to training(job)

So to those of you who still look at this...i am so sorry I have not updated in so long. Between being the only working person in my little family(josh is unemployeed), school full time, growing baby...I have not updated. But at least its only been a month this time as opposed to like 5! LOL

Vincent loves giving our family kitty SIMBA big hugs and kisses. He also says "Hi Kitty" which is adorable.

He runs now, so i better start getting my butt in gear and excersize so i can keep up with him.

Oh, about the pics. I have always had 2 tats(well since I was 18) and the sun was just touched up. My great friend Brandy did the tats....THANKS TWISM!!!! You friggin rawk!

So I am totally in love with how it turned out, and am stoked to get it colored in when im healed up from this(about a month). IT will look awesome!

She used a real gun. The one on my lowerback was actually a guitar string, empty pen and little electric car motor...lets just say its a jailhouse set up...and it turned out pretty good(and no...I have never been to jail, prison...heck...never been arrested...just knew a few people who have had a "harder" life)

I am going to let TWISM finish the sun and POSSIBLY(since this started out as the whole plan when I was 18) do the Moon on my other shoulder, with a few stars around it.

I hear my mother groaning as we speak...LOL. But I just dont want to have this only done half way. I figure I started it, I might as well finish it...famous last words.

I know my son will probably grow up and rebel just like I did. But I waited til I was 18 for my tat. So while it is permanent, and I might grow out of it in 30 years...its a personal choice and I will tell him he can do whatever he wants to do to his body...just after he is 18 and moved out.

Otherwise its my house, my rules. And after the other shoulder is done(IF it gets done) thats all im getting. I love tattoos, but dont want them overrunning me...because I am "Conservative" katie to those who know me at work...and most are just struck dumb when they see my tattoo. Its quite funny actually...But hey. I get to have my naughty katie side....its always fun!

Any who...it is quite late. I am up waiting for the dryer to buzz. Hopefully it happens soon. Gotta love laundry.

And Vincent was, at his year check up....34" and 23lbs. Tall and skinny. 99th percentile and then average(weight). So yah....trying hard to remember to post on the blog...forgive me for being behind!

Thanks for keeping up with me! :-)

OMFG! I go thru all the work to set up a new blog and everything...all I had to do was verify something that blogger had sent me and it would work. Can you say BLONDE MOMENT! *sigh*

Finally...an update since NOVEMBER! Cheese and Rice this freaking blows monkey butt. UGH!

Any who...I guess I am(hopefully, cross your fingers) back to this blog. We shall see how well this works.

Any who...Vincent and Gramma and Grandpa and Aunt Sarah are all in southern utah for easter...im having an easter weekend...ITS AWESOME!

I cant wait til I get this house clean tomorrow, and then just sleep all day sunday because I have the day off. Stupid school didnt give me the day before easter off, so I have to miss easter. But because I had the time approved for being off before I started school...I was not about to back out then. So Joshie and I have the day together. Woot!

Any who, gotta get to bed.

At one point I was rocking the blog. Lately I have just been sucking. Sorry!

Vincent has 2 teeth now! So cute! He also has both ears infected, and one eardrum burst. He has a follow up on the 15th of December to see how it has healed. I have a strong feeling that he may need to get tubes because this is the 2nd diagnosed ear infection...but I think he had 1 inbetween. So he is 7 months and 3 ear infections. RAH!

Poor little bugger. So cute! So sick! :-(

I got a new phone today. Its a pink verizon RAZR phone. I like it. It was free! :-)

Any who...thats the update for now.

He is screaming while in Dwaines(Grandpa) arm. Gotta go rescue him.

Night.

Sorry I havnt updated in a bit. The monitor in the living room decided to die, and its rare that I can get on my parents computer. I need to get my laptop back here and get that thing up and running so I can update more.

Vincent HAS TEETH!!! He just cut 2 teeth on the bottom today. I am grateful he got 2 at once, it cuts down on the time dealing with him whine because they come in faster...woot!

He stands so much too, and has started "walking" while holding on to things. I swear, at 7 months he is going on 20! UGH! I now understand why my mom kept telling me to calm down and let the growing up happen later.

I would never trade Vincent for the world, but I now understand that there was so much more I could have done. Oh well. I have the cutest little baby in the world. Maybe(and this is a definant maybe) I will have another kid down the row. But now that I actually am raising one...I almost think 1 is enough. LOL.

I have been working at gamestop for a month now. Not too many hours, but it is fun and I am enjoying it.

I also am still in training for my other job. Its customer service related, and its fun. The training is extremly boring, but perhaps the fact that it starts at 6am is why I fall asleep...LOL

I cant wait to get on the phones and get the ball rolling.

Soon my insurance will be set up as well, and then I will get vincent all caught up on his vaccinations. I have been a little slow on that...yes.. slap my wrists. I am getting it taken care of ASAP.

Any who, my sister is wanting on the computer, and I should get to bed. 5am gets here WAY too fast! UGH!

Hope to get comments...I love knowing that people read this stuff!

new pic of me! I will load pics of vincent later. But I think I look pretty darn nifty if I do say so myself!

Happy Halloween

Vincent is just too darn cute for words. I just did some dark makeup and put red hair gel in my hair...woot! Happy halloween!

the one with vincent in the highchair was taken at my parents. The others are of vincent when he was at Josh's house overnight. SEE! He does stand up! And chew things to bits! Gosh he is so freaking cute! I love that kid so much...it amazes me how fast he is growing.
