House work + Sick baby.

These last few days have been busy, busy, busy. Nate and I haven't been feeling all that great. I think the rest of his teeth are starting to come in, and he has an intense case of the sneezes. I haven't been sleeping well lately, which isn't much of a surprise. I haven't gone shopping for a bed yet, so I've been back and forth from the couch to the floor, which doesn't do much good on my back. Oww. I never thought I'd get tired of shopping all the time, but it gets pretty tiring. I'm sooo happy we got our new furniture delivered yesterday. I'm not even going to tell you the price, but it looks really fantastic. We bought the a rug, and a new ceiling fan for the dining room, installed for freeeee. Now all we need is to the get the master bedroom's bathroom toilet and floor fixed and we'd be ALMOST done. The kitchen still needs some work. The stove went out about a week or so ago. No baking for this momma.

 

 

 I think Nate and I are adopting the stray kitty that started coming around the yard. He has no claws or collar, we've been feeding him outside lately, we let him come in for the first time today. He's small, white and brown. We already have Bo, a grey, very fluffy cat. He's a little over three years old. We got him from a shelter right after I found out I was pregnant. Poor kitty was  Bo and Nate are best budies. I'll post pictures of them later, them being together is the cutest thing ever.

 

Nate's fell asleep a few minutes ago. I think I'm going to lay down on the new couch and read "Safe Haven" for a bit..or take a nap, whichever comes first. 

 

Speaking of "Safe Haven", it's a must read. $6.00 or so at Walmart. :).

So, I was talking to my mom earlier about how I started this new blog and I how I was thinking about new ideas to write about and how I was getting really excited. She asked me "Well, what's the blog about?". Yeah, this question stumped me quite a bit. What is my blog supposed to be about? Well, I have been through a lot. I know everybodyyyy says they've been through a lot in their lives, but I really have been through a lot. I mean a lot.

I've been through my parents splitting up (which a lot of kids go through), one parent dealing with drug abuse, the other going to prison for 30 years, then my mother getting remarried. I've dealt sexual abuse from a family member, I've dealt with demons from being addicted to narcotics starting from a young age. I had a child really young, I was sober the entire time I was pregnant, then relapsed after he was born, then got sober again (and stayed sober). I got engaged and planned a wedding to my son's father, then had to deal with getting out of that bad relationship and becoming a single parent. Then I had to deal with dating again, and learning to move on from the past. I'll post about all of those experiences in later entries and hopefully I can help people get through their problems, too. That's one thing I've always wanted to do is help people know that if I can get through all that, then they can, too. It's not easy, but it can happen.

It's Friday. Remember being in High School and all we did was look forward to Friday's because of the weekend? The weekend could mean soo many different things to everybody. Rather it meant getting to stay home and catch up on sleep or homework, or going out with friends all night, or getting away from the annoying teachers. Whatever. I just remember I could never see passed Friday nights. I was a pretty bad kid, I got into partying and drugs at a young age. All clean now though.

What am I doing this particalar Friday? Cleaning the house and shoveling snow. I took my little kiddo out earlier, he seemed to like it. A bunch of cats started ganging up on him, I guess they wanted his body heat. So, I brought him in. I may take him out again later to get some good pictures.
