Been Crazy Busy!!!

I have not really done alot of anything worth writing about but yet I seem like i am always to busy to even think anymore

Friday is my B-Day and I told steve Iwould rather be able to go out and do what ever I want then for him to take the time to find me a gift. I have been stuck in the house so much i feel like a hermit and i need to get out, i am hoping to have a girls night out of just go hang out with some friends that i dont get to see alot anymore
what ever i do it will be better then cleaning the house!

Yard Sale, Baby Sitting,and more....

Sat. I had my yard sale and even though I didnt get set up on time and things where a bit stress full it went over very well. I am hopeing to get some one to take Hunter friday night sat. for most of the day so I can do the yard sale again and have time to get more out there and have it set up better in hopes of making some more cash and getting rid of some more junk. I have been a pack rat my whole life and for some reason All the clutter is finly getting to me and driving me crazy!!

I also babysat on Sat. as well, Hunters GF Nevaeh came over for a while, Her and Hunter are Perfect play mates they are both crazy little monkeys. After the yard sale Diane and Larry came over, and we took the kidos out in the play yard and the two of them just had a blast, they got into the same little car togerher and where holding hands, then they huged buy the slide, and then they got into some dirt so they TOOK A BATH TOGETHER. They had so much fun I hope she needs a sitter more often, Hunter is such a PITA when he has no friends to play with.
Oh and larrys sister stoped by with her new baby Ryder, he is SO cute and is SO big, he is the size Hunter was at 2mo's and hes only about 3 weeks old

Speeking of Hunter, He has decided he is going to throw all out temper tantrums every time you say no to him, or he does not get his way. Today he was trying to get into the trash, I took his hand to lead him away while telling him no and he throw himself on the floor and started to kick his feet and hit his hands on the floor!! If this is the start on the terable 2's I may need to get a full time job and tell Steve its time for him to be a SAHD(stay at home daddy).

My next big project after the yard sale is going to be to clean my bedroom and re arange and decorate, I have not really done anything to it sense we moved in and right now our clothes are all over the place, to be honest it looks like the room of some slpoppy kids, The room is very big and I can do so much with it but I have just been so busy playing with Hunter all the time that I never get anything done. I really wish we had the money to put Hunter into day care or send him to a sitter for like 2 hours a day, If i had 2 hours everyday that no one was in the house i could get so much more done, I tend to not do anything when everyone is home. its always been that way I dont know why.

well its bed time for me
its been a long few days

Slacking Off

My house is a MESS!! I have been(and still am) slacking off! I made a list of all the things I have to do today and its SO LONG! I realized that I have been having WAY to much FUN with Hunter the past few weeks. We have been playing kick ball in the when in rains. We have been going for walks and playing out side when its nice out. This child is SPOILED with things to do. I think I wore him out to much though becuase he has cought a cold and its taking a toll on him. His nose is just running and running and his eyes are so watery and he did have PINK EYE but he has been on drops for 2 days and its clearing up. So I have been busy wiping his nose and eyes all day.
I have a mess in every room and clutter on every counter top. I am off to work on the hosue now I already did dishes and cleaned up some of the mess and feed and cleaned Hunter as well Oh and I feed the cats as well.

ANy way NO MORE SLACKING GOT TO GO NOW

Shoe Shopping

Ok so the other week I posted about the shoes I found for Hunter, and know I am able to post links .

1st of all if you if you have ever had to take a toddler with a wide fat foot who happens to be a boy the odds of you finding even one pair of shoes in the store that fits you child are slim to none.

I have found in my shoe shopping adventrures that if you want to buy wide width shoes on a low income Playless Shoes is the place to look.

I found Hunter and I both new shoes and you guessed it THEY MATCH!! I bought both our shoes in the Kids department!!

They are from a band called Smart Fit. Sold at Payless Mine have pink stripes and lace's and Hunters has Navy strips and velcro

Here are some pics they are to cute!!

Yard Sale!!

My friends and I are going to be having a yard sale the next nice weekend we have! I cant wait I hope to clear out a ton of old stuff that is just taking up space. I also hope I make a little bit of money. I need it big time!.

Jiggly wiggly Jello!!!

Hunter Loves JELLO. He thinks its the best stuff ever! last night he had a balst making it wiggle all over. he would poke it and then he would wiggle himself LOL I hope to get some pics of him playing with it up soon it was to funny!

MY SON IS AMAZINGLY SMART!!

Hunter is really starting to show of his smarts! He knows where almost all his body parts are!, He Knows to throw trash away. He brnigs me things he knows should not be on the floor. He is learning more and more words every day. He is a clown and loves to laugh and play. He plays tricks on people and copys everything he see's. He has learned how to put on his own shoes and even gets them on the right feet more then half the time!. He loves to play with older kids becuase they understand how to play "with" him and not just Next to him. He trys to be helpful(but wont pick up his toys) He even yells at the cats when they are scraching at the coutch!

I LOVE MY LITTLE SMARTY PANTS!!

HUNTER, YOU ARE SO MUCH MORE THEN I EVER DREAMED YOU TO BE!!!!! NEVER CHANGE, STAY DETERMEND TO LEARN AND ALWAYS FOLLOW YOUR HEART!

little (I Lied its long )vent/update

Well i have just be so darn busy! Between house work and trying to keep a social life for Hunter and I. The weather had been just Amazing the past few weeks. so I keep having people with kids come over so hunter has some friends to play with. he is so much more happy when he has kids his age around and kids a little bit older (like under 5)

Got Hunter some new shoes yesterday, Hunter has very wide feet and they are also "thick" so i have to buy him wide sized shoes, and around here unless you want to pay and arm and a leg on toddler shoes that they are going to gorw out of before they have even worn the tread off of them you have to go to PAYLESS SHOES witch is great for me too becuase i also have wide feet and my feet are small so hunter and i now shop in the same store in the same department for our shoes!!!! we now have matching sneckers!! his have blue stropes mine have pink they are the same brand and everything!

(for some reason i can not cut and paste with fire fox right now so i cant post the link)


I have been thinking of baby sitting and thinking of all the stuff i want to get done, and thinking of having a yard sale.

I do really still have a lot of stuff i need to get done, the thing is, is that i could do it myself but i cant watch hunter at the same time and now steve is working late again so i never get anything done!! I HATE IT i think i need to just have some one come over and sit with hunter while i got to town! Gee i have only been saying that for ever. the only few peole i would trust to watch him either have there own kids to deal with or they have live's and they just dont have time. Steves mom is the only one who has ever taking him (well his aunt once or twice) Steve will kill me if i say this but I HATE! how she is with hunter, she gives him things that you would think any mom would know not to give there child and she lets him do things that i would never let him do becuase he could get really hurt! she does things with out checking with me 1st if its ok and then she tells steve that i am to controling of hunter and that i worry to much, HES MY KID AND I CAN RASIE HIM ANY WAY I WANT TO. if i dont want him eating junk food or being left alone in a room with in 8year old boy who was aboused when he was younger and if i dont want him running back and forth on a couch over hard wood floors or being in a car where the window is wide open blowing on him while she is SMOKING and flicking ASHES ON HIM, WTF. Also if i dont want food shoved in his face every five min. so that he shuts up and sits still. I hate it and if i talk to steve and ask her not to do things he throws and fit and says Well i dont see anyone else offering to watch him. Oh and i would rahter not have him being passed around an elderly home full of sick people! they always have colds and the flu and who knows what else.

maybe i have a bit over controling to others but i want to raise my kid (and kids if i have more) to have a healthy life style Steve and I both strougle with our weights and always have. I want hunter to aviod all the junk food and soda and suger filled this and that that i had as a child. I want him to stay the active healthy child that he is! I dont want him to grow up to be over weight and lazy like steve and I. I have been trying hard to get him to love his veggies and drink lots of water and milk. he eats lots of whole grians and freash fruits. he love's PEA's when i was i kid you could not get me to eat anything green unless it was dripping with some sort of dip or butter. i only ate white bread and fatty foods. now i am 60 lbs over weight and wish my parents and tought me better eating habbits and told me to shot off the tv more often.

I would rather not have a breake then have him with some one i disaprove of how she cares forMY CHILD. she always aske me to write her a letter with everything she wants her to do and so i make it very detailed. then i get there and he is sipping of her soda standing on her couch in a room where there is only an 8year old watching him



ggggggrrrrrrrrrrrrr

"Don't like the weather in Maine? Just wait a moment.

I have been gone a bit, Hunter had his one year check up 2 weeks ago he is doing very well and the Dr. was really impressed with him. He got his shots and some blood taking for an Iron and Hemo test. He never even cryed!! He even started to laugh a little when she was pushing the blood out of his finger and into the vile!.


The weather had been crazy! Two weeks ago I woke up and there ws a foot of snow on the ground, about a week after I woke up to lake front property! and then today i wake up and the sun is so bright and it got up to the 80's and was very muggy out. With weather like this my house is a wreck we go from digging out shorts so puting on snow suits back to shorts agian and and rubber boots for a few days in there know i have no idea what i should pack back up the shorts of the snow suits LOL

Steve is going back to work today he found out that he is ok and does not need surgery. He was told it was "just a pulled muscle" but he still seems to be very sore after two weeks of not working. So he is till taking an esay and hopfully things get back to the norm.

still broke still have no car and still dont know what the hell to do about it becuase things are just not working out right now for me to get a job unless we put hunter in day care and what the hell would be the point of me working if i am only going to be making enough to pay for the damn day care! I just wish i had a sitter that i didnt have to pay an arm and leg for and some one who i trusted in my house bucuase i would rather have some one here then have to pack him up every day.

there are so many things around the house that NEED to get done and it so hard for me to get anything done NO ONE will help me and if i ask for it it seems like i am pulling teeth, I cant even get anyone to just keep hunter out of my way so i can get things done! I have yard work to do
i have a storrage room that needs to be totally cleared out and it is so packed full of just JUNK that needs to be gotting rid of. My bed room is a total wrack and hunters room has got a new carpet half put in and the only thing in his room right now is his bed and the rest of it is in my room making my room even more of a wrack. the whole house needs to be cleaned from top to bottom and i dont even have time to do it. its like if hunter is awake i have to watch him but if he is sleeping i know i will be to load and wake him if i start pulling all kinds of things out of the storrage room AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH it never ends!!!!!

Been Busy

I have been busy the past week and well be for another week so i wont be posting to may new blogs for a little while.

Babies in the Sun!!

So today I have decided that I am going to organize a Play Group at my house out side at least once a mo. in the summer. I have gotting so many wonderfull toys from either yard sales last summer or freecycle and a few hand me downs from friends, and I have more on the way, Puls we bought a pool and we have a swing set (the one I used as a child!) So my yard is starting to look like a day care (lol). I Have already got about 5 people with kids under age 3 (most under 2) that want to do this for sure and a few more who will come when they can!! I hope this works out becuasae I think it will be so much fun for everyone!

Shopping Fun!!

Yesterday Hunter and I went down to Kittery with my mom and went shoping in all the outlets. We got Hunter 2 outfits for the summer. It was a long day but we had fun and Hunter was so good all day even being stuck in the stroller he just enjoyed the day.

Today was the 1st day in a long time i got to go shopping for a little girl!! It was so fun! I didnt know what to do everything was so cute but then I decided to get her 2 outfits and a pair of sandles for her to play in this summer. there where so many other things i wanted to get her but I wanted to get her a few things instead of one so I went with the lower cost "play clothes"
they are really cute pink and blue striped shirts with little matching shorts and the sandles match everything just right! Maybe I will find pics online

The Stay Clean Diaper Bag!!

My DH2B's Mother got me a diaper bag a while ago that I didn't really think I would like. It had a layer of clear plastic over the whole bag so I thought it looked kinda tacky. After looking at it over and over again saying to my self that bag is just the right size shape and with that plastic on it if it got dirty I would just have to wipe it off. So I started using it, I loved it, It was perfect. I asked her where she got it because I wanted to see if they came in other colors. She told me she had gotten it online from Wal-Mart and that it was on sale for only $10. So I went to walmart.com and I saw they had a few other colors but they where not on sale but I really like the bag so I got one more anyway.

I was thinking that a lot of mommy's who like to go out alot and take those kido's to the sandboxes and beach and other dirty kid places you may want to look into one of these bags. they are from a brand called Trend Lab Here is a like of a few http://shopping.yahoo.com/s:Diapers:4168-Brand=Trend%20Lab:70605-Type=Diaper%20Bags Now Know that this is not the price I paid and that I am sure with a few min. of online shopping you can find them for $30 and less for all the different colors. I will look for a better link to post so that I can cut your search time. here is one from target http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/ref=br_1_5/601-1386520-7446517?ie=UTF8&frombrowse=1&asin=B000I0TDU0

SWIMMING FUN!!!

I went to Target yesterday and got Hunter the cutest swim Shorts. They where only $5.99 and so worth it. They have a built in waterproof cloth diaper and the shorts them self are made with 50+ SPF protection!! they also had t-shirts and hats with 50+SPF.

I have been trying to find a link with a pic and the closest thing i have found is on ebay

http://cgi.ebay.com/NWT-Boys-3-piece-swim-set-by-Wee-Wave-size-13-18-lbs_W0QQitemZ200093620123QQcategoryZ103063QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD4VQQcmdZViewItem#ebayphotohosting
(i think i will take my own pic's and post them)

they also make swim diapaers and shirts and hats and seem to be the same price on ebay as target! I think i am going to go back and get one more pair of short if they have any is size left they where going fast


oh and this is a link to a site on the back of the swim shorts its about healthy swimming (like where not to swim and why and all kinds of stuff like that) http://www.cdc.gov/healthyswimming/

Joined a few groups today

Today I joined a few online free cycle groups in my area and a mommy group. I thought that seeing how I have a ton of spring cleaning to do and a lot of good stuff that needs new homes if my yard sale idea fails I can always give it away by Freecycling.

I have been feeling so productive the past few days. I hope I keep this up!!

So proud of myself

Poor Sleepy Baby

Today Hunter was having his afternoon snack and he fell asleep as soon as he was done. LOL Poor kid:( oh well gives me time to do online window shopping.

WOW I feel good for once

I have been feeling down for a while just getting stressed out over everything. but now that the weather is getitng nice my spirt is lifting. I have been getting more motivated to do things. I feel good when I am getting things done. I am so glad that the weather is getting nice. I hate the winter!

now if I could get other poeole to help me do the big projects LOL

ok sorry run on

"Chomp Chomp" "Chomp Chomp"

This is crazy today I was tryitng to clean Hunters thooth and got a good look at all his teeth. He now has almost one full tooth on top and the stub of another right next to it. Then on the bottom he has one that is just starting to brake the gums and there is one right next to it that you can see but it is under the gums. I am still amazed at how well he is doing with all of this he seems to be fine and in no pain what so ever. I am so happy for him. He is going to have such a cute smile!! My baby boy is growing up. Before I know it he will need a hair cut :( .

What Happened To Nap Time?

Hunter, who just turned one a mounth ago, has cut back big time on his napping. He is now down to one 1hr nap a day. He has never been a big napper (or sleeper for that matter) but boy am a missing my "alone" time! I guess I have to be thankfull though becuase he is now sleeping through the night almost every night. I think we only had to get up one night in the past 3 weeks!

What happend to my baby?

Down with Myspace

I will no longer be using myspace for anything other then getting ahold of people. I am so sick of changing my password everytime I log in. All the spam a hackers is just getting to be way to much for me to keep up with. So for know on the only place you will get updates and new pics will be here. Also I really want to make this a fun blog and with Hunter being the ball of energy that he is I just dont have time for all this internet stuff!! If you do send me messages and stuff through myspace I will get them and read them. I am just not going to do anything more or new to my profile.

Thats all for now.

TEETH!!!!

Hunter is getting some TEETH!!! He started to get his 1st tooth about a week after his 1st b-day, and now he is working on 3. He seems to not be in any pain from them and he has been sleeping fine and everything. I am so thankful for this and I hope I didn't just jix us. Hunter will hardly let us look at them so I dont know if I will ever get a pic but maybe after hr falls alseep I can try? HMMM we well see.

WAHOO TEETH!!

Fun in the Sun

We got Hunter a sand box yesterday and it is so cute!!!

The one we got is the same as the pic but the colors are different Hunter's is Purple and the lid is yellow. Now I have to finish getting the yard set up once all this snow melts and then we can get some sand and fill it!! Oh and then I am going to have to go shopping for little dump trucks and buckets and all that stuff.

I never knew how much fun having a kid would be I mean really you get to go shopping for toys all the time and you get to play all day. THIS IS THE LIFE!!.(but dont forget that it is a also a ton of work at well.)

ALSO my friend and I are going to each put in $10 and get this pool for the kido's for the summer it looks like they will have a blast in it!!
this is the link for it in case anyone else things there kido's will love it.

We are going to have so much fun this summer!!!
I cant wait!!!!

Some Hunter Pics.

His hair is getitng long and I am not ready to cut it yet. Poor kid. LOL

He Really likes Pickles

On his New Bike he got for his B-day.

What do you do to get yourslef to stop being lazy?

Ever sense Hunter was born I just dont have any energy. My mind goes a mile a min. with things I want and should do but I just cant seem to get the energy to get up and do them.

maybe I just need to invest in a ton of red bull and or an expresso machine.

Babies Everywhere

Today Hunter went to a B-day Party and I think he had a blast there where tons of babies and they had a little ball pit set up and he was going to town in there. The Brithday boy was the son of some old highschool friends. He was such a cuite pie and he has the biggest smile. I forgot my camara but I am sure I can get my hands on some pics from the party of all the babies playing in the ball pit.

For know though This is an Intro.

For those of you who know me you may still want to keep reading.

My name is Rene', I am a 23 year old stay at home mom. I live with my SO(significant other)Steve, and our son Hunter. Hunter just turned one on Feb. 28th. I never knew how amazing childern really are untill Hunter was born. He as changed my life in so many ways and I hope he keeps me changing for the better. I have done a lot of things in my life that I cant really say I regret but I wish I had made one good choice for every bad one I had made.
Hunter is amazing in every way, he learnd to walk by the time he was 8.5mo's old and he is just doing so much. he can say a bunch of words but only I really know what he is saying but soon they will be clear.

well off I go to do mommy things hope I have time to make a blog every day!
