Glasses?

I still have lots more pictures to post of my family visiting but I just don't feel up to it right now. I've been having problems with my eyes the last couple days. Not sure if it's just because I'm tired or I need glasses. Things have been blurry, I feel like I have to squint or keep blinking to see better. It's driving me crazy. Maybe I'm just going crazy and it's just from being tired because I did an overnight they other night and it has messed up my sleep. I'm off tomorrow so maybe I can get some normal, long, good sleep. And then we'll see how my eyes are doing :)

Visit

I'll upload more later since I'm so forgetful I forgot which one I last uploaded :P

vacation

My sister, brother in law and my nephew headed home today. I already miss them like crazy. It was wonderful having them here for the week and I'm so thankful for the time we got to spend with them. Of course they stayed with us because we have quite a bit of space in our living room, so why pay for a hotel when you can stay somewhere free :) We were hardly even home the past week because there was so much we wanted to make sure we did. Looked at cars of course. Went to peppermill, atlantis, victorian square and the guys went by themselves to gsr one of the days also. Malea and I were tired and Apollo had been cranky so we decided to stay home and relax. We also ate the entire time they were here, lol. Peppermill buffet, bj's, chili's, genghis grill, peg's... I can't even remember them all. We went to wild island Friday and it was so much fun. I'd love to go more but it is kinda boring unless you have a group. The food there was horrible but we all took turns with Apollo so that we could go down some of the big kid slides. Malea and I stayed together while Josh and Joaquin had their fun. For about an hour we were in the lazy river and Apollo ended up falling asleep on his tummy laying on Malea while we were in our floaties and he got a nice little sunburn. Josh and Malea got the worst of the sun. Luckily my shoulders were a little red but not too bad. I didn't use sunblock or tanning oil because my skin has been so sensitive this summer so I didn't want to end up with a rash. So now we have a quiet empty house and I'm not loving it so much :(

New look and not so good look :(

Not sure about my new layout because I wanted something brighter, trying to stay away from the black but I really thought this one was cute... and I'm too lazy and tired to look through any others... Still working on it though. I have a horrible horrible heat rash and I'm not very happy about it because I want to be in the sun so bad but it's so horrible that I have welts on my legs :( I don't know why my skin has been so sensitive to it this year, but I think I might have an allergic reaction to the tanning oil I used and also when I was little I was allergic to my own sweat so that might have something to do with it. Well gotta work in the am, goodnight!

Babysitting

Tonight I got some baby time in :) A girl I work with is from Brooklyn and she and her husband live here with their 2 kids and don't have any family here. They wanted a night out together, so they went to a show and asked if I would watch the kiddos and how could I decline. A 2 year old boy and a 4 month old girl, no problem! :) They were so good for me! Hayden is their little boys name and Halani is their little girls name. They are both just so adorable. Hayden is the smartest little boy for his age. Here's one of his and Josh's conversations. Josh- "It's hot today." Hayden- "I know, tell me about it man." Hayden was not very thrilled with us or his parents when it came time to leave. They asked him if he had fun and he kept saying no. lol Although I know he did. He was happy the whole time, had the wii and the xbox all to himself. He said he wanted to stay here with us but Josh has to work in the morning and we are so ready for sleep. Midnight is not normal for us. lol

fixer upper

Well so far we have put quite a bit of money into the car that we shouldn't have had to. Especially since we paid extra so that these things would be taken care of, but they weren't. But such is life, I guess.
Started out with the dash lights, that was $200 and we got a bose stereo for $40 off ebay and then $150 to get it installed. There have been a few other things that we've fixed up also and still lots more to do.
Have to get the axles replaced, which is a quite a bit of saving.
So hopefully we can get it done sooner than later, and sell it in the future.
We shall see.
Well other than that, not much has been going on. We had 40% off this week and I did a lot more shopping then I had hoped for. I always hope that nothing will fit me so I can just return it all and get my money back. lol yes I'm cheap, I hate spending money! lol I like to pay my bills and then pretend I have no money at all! Which is usually the case anyway. Didn't really do much shopping for myself, mostly Apollo. I'm getting so excited for their visit, I can't wait! Have lots of fun things planned while they are here.
Well it's 10:00 and I'm so sleepy already so I better get off here.

Birthday girl

Happy 1 year anniversary of being 23 to me :) Just sitting here in my clean house with nothing to do. Waiting for Josh to get home from work. He requested the day off but his manager is rude and didn't accept his request. Anyway. When he gets off we are going to eat with his Dad, Mom and sister. Although I don't think his Dad knows it's my birthday. lol Then his dad wants to spend some time with just his kiddos so I will come back home and my cousin Chrissy and maybe my brother Kenny are coming over and we are going to eat pizza and watch family home videos. Sounds like a great birthday to me :)
