Planning Our First Family Vacation

So it is official we are going away in November.  At first I wasn't sure we were going to be able to pull it off but the husband has been working some extra shifts and seems like everything is falling into place.  Very excting out first family vacation since the baby was about a month old.  Novemeber 10th is our two year anniversary and November 9th is Manny's 27th birthday and he has the whole week off from work.  We are packing up and taking off to Conneticut for the week for some piece and quiet and some much needed alone time with our little munchkin.  We are going to visit a Children's Museum (http://www.steppingstonesmuseum.org/) and the Conneticut Maritime Aquarium (http://www.maritimeaquarium.org/) because Lord knows David loves the fishies.  There will be more information to come as soon as I finish mapping it all out but I am very excited and we are definately looking forward to this.

And it is Almost Monday...Again!!!

Lately it seems like the days are just flying by and I am not even sure where the time goes.  Everyday just seems so routine and then before I know it is Wednesday and Manny is home for two days and then back to reality again.  Tomorrow starts the third week of the fall session of swimming lessons and I am hoping David does better than he has been.  It seems like because he is in the water with all little babies (6 to 12 months) he is acting like them and appears to be afraid of the water and almost hates the entire half an hour.  Im hoping this week is different and that the pool is a little bit warmer.  Unfortunately I am starting the week with what is seeming to be a sinus infection and no over the counter medicine is helping...and this headache is almost unbearable.  I am hoping the baby sleeps well tonight which he should because he was quite tired and I can actually get some rest and feel better.  Good night All and Sweet dreams =)

Sick, Sick, Sick of Being Sick

I am not sure if it is allergies or a cold but something is kicking my butt and seriously hard.  I've tried everything from tylenol cold to tylenol sinus, to tylenol allergy, and even benadryl and nothing is helping.  Im thinking if I could just sleep for about a week without having to do anything else except for maybe go to the bathroom I would feel better but unfortunately that isnt going to happen anytime soon since the husband is working a lot of hours and my little love bug requires a lot of his mother's attention.  Well I am off to bed and hopefully I will feel a bit better tomorrow if not atleast I am use to a stuffy nose, sore throat, and a headache.

Im Back...Finally!!!

Well it has been almost a whole week since I have been able to log into my blog.  I am not exactly sure why but I am pretty sure it has something to do with the fact that I some how managed to download a virus onto the computer...Yes I am a complete idiot.  However I am not that much of an idiot because I was able to get rid of the virus (I hope...hahaha) and can now continue to update my blog regularly.  It feels good to be back and I am sure if I look inside my head I must have tons to write since it has been so long. 

Screw the Insurance Company

In March Manny was in a car accident coming home from work.  Because there was about seven inches of snow on the ground of a state highway mind you, he lost control of the car (a four wheel drive vehicle at that) and crossed onto the other side of the highway and was t-boned by another SUV.  He was found unconscious at the scene and rushed to Rhode Island Hospital into critical care.  I received a call from his work stating that he had been in a car accident and they "didnt know any details but thought he would be ok".  I can honestly say that, so far, in 24 years that is the worst and scariest phone call I could have ever recieved.  I lost it and broke down and begged my father to make it ok and told him he had to take me to Manny.  We arrived at the hospital within the hour not knowing what to expect.  I was horrified when I walked into that room and saw him laying there like a dead body on a metal slat in a morgue.  I ran over to him and he opened his eyes, saw that it was me, and one single tear fell down his cheek...I think that was the point that he realized that he was ok and I was there to take care of him.  I have never been so relieved in my life.  To make a long story short he was released from the hospital with minor injuries and the car was demolished.  Well it is six months later and we went to the hearing on Thursday for the insurance sur-charge appeal and we left there with a woman telling us "it is your responsibility to adjust your vehicles speed to the needs of the road" and we would have an answer in one to two weeks.  Talk about a woman on a power trip...what makes her the one to determine the fate of our insurance bill when she wasnt the one behind the wheel that day nor was she the one in the accident because the state road was unplowed?  Isnt that why those state highway workers get paid so much to plow those roads so things like this dont happen?  It is so Frustrating!!!

A picture of the car after the accident...very scary!!!

First Things First

So I have yet to introduce my wonderful husband into my blog...well really I havent hardly mentioned him since the first couple of posts.  So now is the time to introduce him in order to continue with my next post which is about him.  My husbands name is Manny and he is a wonderful man and I love him with all of my heart and I am very lucky to have found the one person in this world who completes me.  Well enough with the mushy, lovey, dovey, stuff.  Manny is a great guy.  He is a goofy guy and can be quite boring at times but I am convinced that is all men not just him.  He works third shift for the Massachusets DOC as a corrections officer and although his job is not all that difficult he does work hard in order to support me and the baby and I couldnt be more grateful for it. 

Sorry For the Delay in Posting

It has been a couple of days since I have been on and written any posts.  I apologize for the delays in postings but life has been a little hectic the past couple of days.  My wonderful son has decided that his new bedtime is anywhere from 10 to 10:30 pm which makes for one tired Mommy at the end of the night.  Also I have bee suffering from some horrible seasonal allergies and I am going crazy.  I've tried Benadryl and all though that helps it knocks me out and I am left in a complete daze for the rest of the night and i've been livig off of tylenol allergy medicine and Im not even sure it is helping.  Im hoping things will start looking up soon so I can get back on here more often and get more posts up and more people visiting my site.
