We made her push it since she wouldn't sit in it!
Hello..? chickens?
This past week has been very eventful! Last Saturday we went with both sets of g'parents to the Audubon Zoo! It was a beautiful day! Everyone had a wonderful time! Who knew they sold beer at the Zoo! That was a wonderful discovery. (Even if it was not very cold!) Sunday we took Tay to pick out a pumpkin. I would say to the pumpkin patch but apparently in every other town, there is a pumpkin patch with hay rides, games, and goats! Huh?
Monday I locked my keys in my car and while the Pop-A-Lock guy was opening the door, Tay took a tumble down the steps onto her head! Yeah don't we just love Mondays!? Later that night Husband and I woke up to food poisoning! I am only going to say "Thank God we have 2 bathrooms" and Tay did not eat what we did! She went to school on Tuesday and husband and I had the day off together in bed, but not in a good way! I was so sick I just wanted to die! I finally could eat today! I might become a vegetarian for a while! It was that bad!
November is going to be a BUSY month for us!
Ok....We are going to Baton Rouge this weekend to watch (cross your fingers) LSU beat Georgia and help Sissy celebrate her 30th B-Day! It should be FUN!
I am so looking forward to next weekend! Not only is it Halloween but we are going to be taking Taylor to H'burg for the first time! It should be lots of fun!
Really must go to bed..Will post more tomorrow! And tell you all about the trip to the zoo!
Thanks for caring,

Alright this is definite payback for the three LONG months of colic! I will absolutely make sure every prom date gets a good look at these! Background-We saw this at O.N. last year after Halloween for $5.99, how could we say no!? We did not know that A. she would love it so much and B. that it would fit her.(it is size 6-12 mos-who's baby is that big besides P.M! HA)
I wish someone had told me...
"Lighten up and stop taking yourself quite so seriously!"
As my daughter is changing every single day I need to sit back and enjoy the now moments! The hardest part for me is to stop constantly worrying about the future and live in the present. And by the future I don't mean when Tay's in college I am talking about 2 hours from now! "What is she gonna wear to bed, Is she going to go right to sleep or is she going to fight us-again-, when will she ever sleep in her own bed, and then this leads to beating my self up for being a lazy mom because I would rather all of us get sleep than fight putting Tay in her own bed. Then I question is it laziness or an excuse because I secretly LOVE having her cuddle with me at night! *SIGH*
Every once in a while I can kinda step outside myself and notice that the times I am laughing the loudest and smiling the biggest are the times that I am truly focused on what is going on directly in front of me and not what is to come later on down the road! The funny thing is the times that I am truly present are the times that I remember the most. When I let my mind wander to my "to do list" then I am not capturing the precious moments that I will remember later on in life! OK..I am done being hard on myself....But I will make an honest effort to be more PRESENT in my everyday life!

I really have no idea how to get these pictures to all line up, like everyone else in the world seems to know how to do! HELP!!
Balloon Festival!!
I get an hour lunch break everyday. During my lunch break I will either pick up fast food, usually Wendy's because the line at Mcd's is RIDICULOUS, or I make something at home; But I always go home on my lunch break. This in "my time" to catch up on all my TV shows that I DVR! I love my DVR! So today I decide to watch an old episode of Oprah. (a little background- i use to LOVE Oprah, before I had Taylor I Tivoed Oprah everyday and watched it as soon as I could. I just don't have the time and alot of her shows do not interest me anymore, I digress...) So on this particular episode they are talking of ethical and sticky situations....what to do? You know, do you tell your friend that their husband made a pass at you, that kinda stuff. Well, long story short, (too late) a mother was talking about her 12 year old son who is receiving texts from a 12 year old girl who is saying that she loves him and misses him and would like to go to 2nd base with him and that she would even give him a BJ if he wants. WHAT!!! Remember they are 12. OK the crazy thing is that this mother is wondering if she should call the girl's mother or not! ABSO_FUCKING_LUTELY!!!! If my daughter was 12 TWELVE and was talking like this I would hope that out of concern for my child that someone would clue me in as to what was going on under my own nose! What is this world coming to when 12 year olds are texting about BJs?!?!?
~Now that is off my chest...I just want to give a quick update on Taylor...
She has become quite the little helper! Everyday after school her teachers write a little note about how she's doing. Usually it reads "Taylor bit three kids today," or "Taylor swung at the teacher today," or the one she's been getting alot lately "Taylor did not listen well today" ANYWAY....when I picked her up on Friday it said and I quote "Taylor likes to be the boss and in charge!" Well no shit she is my child and she is oldest, what did you expect! If I heard it once I heard it 1 million times growing up "K already has one mother she doesn't need another!" Ha.
So today it read "Taylor loves to help pick up and put things back where they belong, she is a big help to us" WHA, WHA, WHAT? My child picks up...I have no idea where she gets this from!
Taylor has two stuffed animals that must do everything that she does-Elmo and Pooh! Yesterday we were playing with her blocks on the floor and Elmo and Pooh were each sitting on pillows "watching" us play. Well Taylor decided that they also needed to join in the fun and play with the blocks as well. Yes, i have pics and will post them as soon as I download them. Today they got to color with us! I wonder what they will do tomorrow...?

I think on Fridays I am going to do just a small random thoughts posting. I always have these random questions and thoughts that I would like to ask peeps about, but when I actually talk with someone I forget all about them. Shaun has had enough with my random thoughts.
Today is my first time posting for the Writer's Workshop! Yes, I am a virgin-not for long!
I have LOTS of things that I fear. I have been dubbed Nervous Nelly because I constantly worry about EVERYTHING. Here goes... (In no particular order)
1. I fear losing a loved one in a horrific and tragic way.
2. I fear that I will NEVER get over self-esteem issues steaming from younger years.
3. I fear that I will pass those issues on to my daughter and she will not grow up to be the self assured, confident woman that I know she can be.
4. I fear that I will never realize that I am good enough!
5. I FEAR riding in airplanes. I am a HUGE control freak and I have absolutely ZERO control in a plane and it scares the sh** out of me!
6. I fear being buried alive.
7. I fear being forgotten. I always get lost in the crowd. I guess I need to work on a bigger personality! *shrug*
8. I fear that if D does not stop smoking she will not see T grow up!
9. I fear being too honest with myself.....who knows what I may discover.
10.I fear rejection.
I could have gone into detail regarding each one but I figured I did not want to have a therapy session at work! H might think somethings up if I am crying while typing! (Is that a country song? "Crying while typing" Ha) There, it is out there and I cannot take it back! I hope I did not bring everyone down today with my admissions. But they are very honest and heartfelt. Don't judge too harshly!
Thanks for caring,

It has been a week since my last entry and I really should have great, brilliant and witty things to say....but i really do not!
Saturday night Shaun and i went across the Lake to a wedding party for one of his many cousins! We had a ton of FUN! Still trying to download some pics. Don't worry to much T, I'll keep the pics PG-13!
This party has cemented for me the fact that I am OLD! I am not gonna go into very much detail because it will only depress me that much more. But when you are in a bar and you are older than most of the patrons by at least 10years it is time to retire! Or when you don't recognize the songs that are playing and your the only one that doesn't know all the words to said song it is time to retire! I know in reality that I am not technically OLD, but there are certain times in everyones life as they are getting older when they look in the "mirror" and see themselves as others see them and not how they feel. I sho did feel like I was 20 again dancing at Jamaica Joe's but in reality I am an almost 32 year old MOM!
We took Taylor to a Birthday party Sunday at one of those indoor play areas. She had a BLAST!! I don't think she even knew that there was a B-Day party going on, but she had fun on the slides! She kept yelling for "KASHE" to come and play with her in the play zone.
Taylor's word of the day is "ready." She has figured out has to put the two syllables together to make the word. She's only said it 9,oo0 times since coming home from school. (ready to go to bed, ready to eat raisins, ready to watch Barney, ready to watch Little Bear-you get the idea).
In case you also have facebook, I am excited to say that we were able to find the tights we needed to complete Taylor's outfit for Halloween. I am not going to say what she will be, you will just have to wait! We are going to be in H'burg for Halloween/Homecoming and we are so excited! It is going to be Tyalor's first time tailgating! It should be VERY interesting! I am apologizing now to everyone because only THE LORD knows how she is gonna behave or should I say misbehave! Ha.
Thanks for caring,
