SHUT UP!

LMAO.... I was in the kitchen and Evey walks in smiles and says "SHUT UP!" not like your talking to much shut up but like no way! shut up! She's 2 people... she was watching the princess diaries earlier that day and theres a part where she very loudly goes "SHUT UP!" because she's told something shocking (i think). Evey promptly turned and went back to the living room, I was kinda dumbfounded, of course I told her that wasn't nice but how do you explain thats only okay sometimes??????? Later that night she decided to take off her poopy diaper in front of the couch and she somehow managed to scale the couch without getting poop on it and when she landed behind the couch she landed on her bum (thank goodness we have a steam cleaner) I walked in the room right before she was about to get on her new bouncing pony! That would have been a disaster! Oh the joys of potty training haha. She never ceases to amaze me! till next time...

Christmas Eve/Christmas

Christmas Eve we had family over and opened a few presents, as you can see Evey was very interested in her presents lol. Then after she fell asleep we put the train under the tree so we could turn it on once she woke up Christmas morning with all her presents underneath. She was so excited to see the train, and she got on her tricycle and started honking her horn lol

till next time

Merry Christmas Eve Eve...

Here is the Christmas card winner!

We liked her hair in this picture and she is smiling! Some of the others actually had her crying bc she wanted to watch Phineas n Ferb on Disney while we were torturing her for a picture haha.. we gave up on having Lucy in the picture. I'm sooo ready for Christmas Eve! We are going to hang out at home Christmas Eve and the family is going to drop by if they can. Christmas day will just be us at home for a relaxing non-eventful day, I have to work Christmas night :-( btw I think it is bullshit that holiday pay stops at 7pm...wtf, we have to give up big plans Christmas day to work Christmas night and we don't even get paid extra for it...yet thanksgiving and Christmas Eve get paid time and a half? who the hell decided Christmas stops at 7pm? probably some salary paid asshole who's never worked night shift at a hospital on a holiday. So if ur fulltime you have to work 3/5 holidays(thanksgiving,christmas eve, christmas day, new years eve, new years day) part time 2/5 days. (thank goodness I'm part time) but if they are mandatory holidays why do we only get paid for a select number of them? sniff sniff I smell bullshit! ok sorry enough bahumbugging. This will probably be the last post till after Christmas so I hope everyone has a safe and blessed merry Christmas! till next time...

20 HOUR DAYS SUCK ASS! I worked agency today 8a-4p and I was on call tonight and lo and behold I got called in...wtf. Who called in? Who did it? lol Then tomorrow morning after work I have to run errands and turn in more paperwork to my agency to work at the VA..it really is ridiculous, they want your first born child and your left arm before they let you work there. But the money is worth it,so its taken months but I've filled out the f*ing paperwork. Then I have a 0930 appointment with cadillac because there is a recall on my car so we will see what kind of loaner I get. Do you think they'll let me ask for the 2 door sports cadi? Haha I think not. Since I'm on that side of town I may as well stop in and get the gift cards I need for Christmas. I'm tired now and still have a good 20 hrs before I see my bed...probably longer than that because I will get home miday and want to see Evey. I haven't worked a 60 hr work week since before I had Evelyn.... should be interesting. Till next time Baahumbug!

I hope they are this sweet during Christmas pictures.

HOW CUTE IS THAT! There has been a little jealousy between the two of them but for the most part they love eachother.

Still working on potty training Lucy, no poop in the house but she still piddles once in a while. As for potty training the 2yr old...ha.. she's always done things on her time table and always will! ( Anyone remember me being out of work for 10 1/2 months because my stubborn little baby REFUSED to drink from a bottle!) Honestly though I'm not really gonna worry about it till after the new year. I'm sooo excited we put up our Christmas lights outside! Will post pictures later! Thats all for now, till next time
