YAY DECEMBER!!

My Heavens it has been a very long month. Emry has grown up a lot this month. He started really crawling. At the moment I'm very mad at him. He's become what I call the Terror. He's broken three keys on my laptop now including the backspace and spacebar. Two keys I use most often. So now I have to hit the key in the exact right spot in order to make it work. LOVE IT! Everything takes twelve times as long to write now. He's also broken the Curtains in our living room. The vinyl kind that came with the apartment. He pulled down the decorative piece that the curtains were laying on top of and then tried to pull the individual blinds down one by one. LOVE IT! I'm going to blame this one thing on him too. He broke my phone. Really I did it with my elbow(Devin tells me daily that they are dangerous and now he's correct). I was getting out of bed and didn't want to step on Emry so I was manuevering awkwardly around him so I wouldn't step on him and ended up using my phone as an elbow support to hoist myself up. LOVE IT! He's also broken several other things around the place and in constantly into EVERYTHING! I do truly love this part. He's so big now and so grown up. He's a brand new kid that has A LOT of opinions.

We had a couple dr visits this month. The first he had an ear infection but went in for a cough that he had for more than three weeks. Never found out what that was but cleared up with the antibiotics for the ear infection. Then about a week later we returned for his well check/sick visit because he once again was broken out bad on his face. He's very allergic to many things and were having a fun time trying to figure out what the many things are. So far its pretty much any and all fruit, and dogs. He also had thresh. Which he in turn gave to me. So many pharmacy visits later we are all better. Except Emry is supposedly teething but I'll never know because he refuses to let me put my finger in his mouth to feel, not to mention attempting to look at it. I think I'll figure it out when he bites me but so far it always feels like he's biting me so once he draws blood i'll know.

We also had a craft fair that we participate in on the 21st. It was fun and definately an experience. We evened out so overall it was an okay day though the three previous nights of no sleep was totally not worth it. Did I mention that during this time I was also doing construction cleaning. I had twelve units at about 7 hours a piece. After it was over I literally had blisters on my palms, every inch of my hands were cracked and bleeding, and my body was the most sore it's ever ever ever been including child birth. I had to saran wrap my hands after putting mounds of lotion on them and stick them in socks for three days before they finally started to heal. Man the check better be worth it!

Devin helped me out a lot during this time and Emry spent a lot of time with Grandma Anderson. Devin has hit what they call 'peak' season so Emry and I won't be seeing too much of him. He'll leave for work around 6 and won't be home until around 7 or 8 if he's lucky. And the bad weather hasn't even hit yet.

Thanksgiving was spent here in Wyoming at the Anderson's trailer. It was a good day. Devin spent most of it cutting wood for more craft projects. I'll be posting a blog devoted to the crafts. I still have a bit left that I need to sell if anyone is interested in taking it off my hands.

I honestly didn't even take many pictures during the last month because I have been so dang busy but Ill put on a few.

That's it for now.

Emry's Awesome hairdo that daddy perfected with shampoo. He's starting to get some more hair!

Emry saying 'ello! He's been chewing on his fingers this last week. That's his christmas present from mommy(blue table). He loves it so much. and yes this is our living room/bedroom now. We moved Emry into the one bedroom to see if it helped when he was sick and it did. He sleeps 11-12 hours again. So he's king of the house now:)

I retyped this blog post title fifteen times and liked nothing so I wrote this....

I'm a dork. Enough Said. Anyway it's been another crazy couple weeks. We're all still pretty sick. I took Emry to the Dr and he was on the verge of having an ear infection so he got antibiotics for that. Though his coughing still has not stopped so I have to give him allergy/asthma medicine. I can't remember which one it is. Hopefully that works. I had about a week and half off from cleaning so it was great to catch up on all the things I lacked on doing around my own house. I got everything cleaned and we actually moved all our furniture around too. We ended up putting Emry in the bedroom so that he wouldnt be in the drafty dining room anymore. We were hoping it would help with him being sick and with his sleeping. It did work. He's back to sleep 11-12 hours. Mom's very happy for sleep again. He's grown a lot in the last two weeks too. I bought him 18 month pajama's that hung off his feet like 4 inches and last night I put them on him again and they fit! He gained about a pound and half in the two weeks too. Big boy. He also started crawling and gets into EVERYTHING now. It's fun. His favorite games are to pull down every single DVD from the entertainment center and if he finds anything like a basket with things inside he pulls every single thing out. His best friend is still the vaccuum but mum doesnt let him play with it ever. Dirty! He's still pulling himself up like crazy. He loves to stand and walk along things and he's attempting to walk in between things now. Usually results in a fall and a smack on the head by whatever object he was going for but hey he's trying! He'll be walking before ya know it. I think I just had a anxiety attack.

For Halloween Emry dressed up as a, you guessed it, a monkey!!!! He was so dang cute. Tray's birthday party was on 29th so we all dressed up. It was fun but man were we ready to get out of our costumes. It was fun to wear though and remenaisse(don't feel like doing spell check)about our special day on the beach. Tray was Elvis! Fun!! Then on Friday, we went to church for the fun and games but we ended up missing the Trunk or Treat which was the only reason we went. We left because it didn't seem like they were going to do it. Nothing seemed organized, but it's probably cuz we got there late and missed all the instruction. Oh well. Then on Saturday out apartments had a pizza party so we chowed down then went home. By this time we were all so sick and decided we should hunker down in the house for the weekend. Oh well.

Now I've been cleaning again and have tons and tons to do. Oh I have been working on my many many projects as well and have actually sold quite a few on ebay! Yay for more business! It's so exciting!

K picture time.

Some More Projects

Here's a couple more projects I've been working on to sell at the show we're doing here in November.

I can do this custom to your favorite person instead of George Strait. I'm thinking of doing one that says If you're not God or Miley Sirus, DO NOT ENTER! all pink and girly for doors to girls room? I'm going to sell them for $5 if anyone wants one they will make great christmas presents!!

This is a girls night light. The picture is from a cell phone so it didn't show it the best that I would like it to but general picture I'm going to sell these for $15. I can do different things with the girls too like princess themed, animals, etc

And a boys night Light. Again $15 if anyone wants to get one for christmas presents. I can pretty much put any figure on the outside of the nightlight. I would do the inside a little more colorful and unique that would match the figure. Like elephants, bears, giraff, lion, monkey, boat, pretty much anything you like.

I am also going to do some christmas themed ones that I'll put pictures up after I make them. I'm way excited to make them!

STARTING TO CRAWL!!!!

Emry was over sucking on the door like he randomly does on his adventures around the house. He started to cry and I looked up and this was what he was doing!!!!! I screamed and grabbed the camera. Mean Mom

It's a little long but the ending was just too cute to cut off.

Another Week Gone...

This post is boring. I've been so entirely busy these last two weeks. I feel like I couldn't even stop to breath. I've had a ton of apartments to clean as well as shopping for one of my clients to get some things the previous client had taken from the apartment. After twelve hours of work on a one bedroom, I must say Sunday was awesome! To sit and do nothing for a whole day, wow. Actually after cleaning up everyone elses grime, mess, and germs I got sick. So I spent Sunday in bed and in the bathroom. Not fun. AND!!! Now Emry is sick. Poor little guy. He's got snot constantly running down his face and a fever. I thought maybe this was a sign that he was gonna start to teeth since he's been tricking us for months now, but his boogies are green so sickness it is. Hopefully he feels better soon. So after all the cleaning this week and last week. I can say I'm done for at lease a few days. Sad to say that doesn't mean I'm really done. Now I get to clean for free. My own house :( I've neglected it for awhile now. And Devin too. I finally made him dinner last night for the first time in two weeks. It was just a chicken casserole but man it was sooooooo sooooo good. Apparently I was depriving myself of some good food too. So now it's on to Utah I think. I still haven't made up my mind and I'm supposed to leave today. But the laundry isn't done and the house isn't clean and I can't pack till those things are done so it'll probably be tomorrow before I leave. My mom's gonna be sad. Okay I think I'm rambling now. New things for us............Devin is still slaving away with Fedex and is still trying to break into his own business. He thought he had someone that wanted his product but when he went back to confirm it, he apparently was talking to someone not important who thought that he was and didn't have any authority to make any decisions. Suffice to say the Owner enjoys giving away free things instead of making people buy it themselves. FINE! So Devin's still venturing out to find somewhere else. I think I got one more job with cleaning the apartments here after they are built and before people move in. This job will pay a little better but its way more extensive because I have to clean up construction mess and I have to do twelve units in about three days I think. So I gotta find a place for Emry while I work those. YAY!! I'm very excited that the cleaning business is taking off. It's nice to have it though I wasn't expecting it so I wasn't prepared for it. Hence the dirty house and Emry being neglected play time. Which is why I'm so excited to have a day off! Play time with Emry!!!!! His favorite game right now is Peek-boo.....that's what he calls it. It's so awesome that he's mimicking our sounds and man do they sound like words. He's also say good. When Devin said well, good- to nothing being in the fridge. He's also said oh crap, after mom said it to him throwing up. LOL bad mommy. It was soooo funny! He Says Hi! all the time and I just can't get enought of his little laught. Man I love my kid!!! He's getting so freaking big now! I'm taking him to get weighed today so we'll see how big my big boy is. I'm sorry to who's reading this. Here's a pic.

Mommy's new diaper bag.

Like I said, long week and I forgot to take some pictures. Next time.....

So YAY! but so LAME!!

Well I have exciting news which for some reason has made me sweat! I feel like I've been waiting all day long again for Devin to ask me to marry him. You know the anxiety in your stomach, sweaty pits, the so dang excited that you can't get your sentences out without feeling like your gonna scream with joy in the middle of a word kind of stuff. Well I started cleaning for the Apartments we live in when tenants move out to make the apt ready for new tenants. Its been fun and some easy extra money for me. Well yesterday when I went to return some keys from cleaning one of the girls asked me if I would be interested in.....and I said yes before she even got her sentence out. There was some laughter and she said she would give my number to the clients. Well today I got the call from Marriott. I will be cleaning the apartments that they have rented for their clients that periodically stay here. It's honestly like an extended stay in a hotel suite that has a kitchen and washer and dryer type thing. I even get to put out Marriott toiletries for the clients! I can't believe I am so excited! Not because I get to clean nasty toilets but because I have my own business!!!!! Going to college seems unreal now since I'm a stay at home mom with no real hope of finding a good job out here in Wyoming so I might as well find a job that I get to have my kid with me since I'm a wimp and can't handle working full time and putting him in daycare. I think it's a fair trade. I'm super excited to have money to save up!!! Yay for Mommy Cleaners!!! Told you this blog was lame....yet you were still enticed to read it....it's all part of my mystical powers and charm :)
