The future…..
Today as I work my way to pick up little man, I put in my favorite CD…..let me rephrase, ONE of my favorite CDs…..IDLEWILD by OutKast. I love all the songs but my favorite is Morris Brown.
Now ANY music lover, band geek, or even those who like the movie ’Drumline’ alike knows that morris brown is a famous Marching Band. I do love them but my favorite Marching Band is A&T…hehehe GO AGGIES Here is a video of Morris Brown In Action: 
Well, the song Outkast did has sweet visions and remixes of some awesome Marching Band Drumming and sounds. I got to thinking about my life an how much I actually miss being a part of the band in high school. My junior year of high school was the best year, 1995. At that time, it was an awesome thing to be in the band and there were several of the ‘popular’ kids that were involved. It was a great experiance that I had and I miss it much.
I started to realize that my hopes are not over, just yet. LM is only 16 months old and he already loves music. When music comes onto the TV, he automatically either starts to dance or turns and watching the TV until it was over. As soon as I had the thought of missing band, I realized that maybe, JUST maybe, my son will take over my musical talents and passion and want to be a part of the band.
Sad thing is, my band of 295 has dwindled to probably no MORE then 50 people if that. I do plan, however, to be a part of the music program and see what I can do to help bring it back around. I do feel band is a MAJOR part of a child’s life and they should want to be a part of it.
More rantling later. For now enjoy Morris Brown by outkast

Growing up =(
Well, as much as I hate to say this, my LM is growing up. Last weekend when we went to Babies-r-Us we were torn between a toddler bed or a couch I liked that open into a sleeping bag style bed. Being he loves the movie CARS it was only fitting that I get him a couch of the same movie. It was cute, and he uses it daily. He actually likes it better with it out like he’s sitting on the bed…lol Here is a photo & link. It’s of Toy Story but they don’t have on online of CARS. Here is the link also: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3963932
Well, with that we purchased a new baby gate, toddler sides, and a few other things. When we got home, we found out the baby gates doesn’t get small enough for our doors. Keep in mind we are in a 1952 made house which the doors are 30″ wide instead of bigger. GREAT and the crib broken down into the toddler bed is not big enough for the sides and it’s TOO high for my child. Odd right?
So this past weekend we decided to go back and return these items and get a car seat that we wanted for him, it’s a 3-n-1 and goes up to a backless booster. I LOVE it, and it’s higher then the one he has now and will fit his ever growing self way up until he is 100lbs. It also has received a 4 1/2 stars out of 5 and is considered the “caddy” of car seats. We figured they had a sale and against our return we would pay nothing for it. It’s the Graco Natutilus, LOVE IT Website here: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3980774 Photo:
Well, apparently they did not stock up for their sale OR they wanted to get rid of their stuff quickly. They were out. They offered to let us order it online at one of their computers but we were not allowed to use the discounts for that store. My thought is being they didn’t have it, they should honor it. None the less we passed and ended up buying LM some more items. A Pop Corn Popper, A Toodles, and some mega blocks (photos here) 
(no not the pink one but that is only picture that will show.
I will share in another post what happened later that day. None the less a great weekend and LM is happy =)

Melding Blogs
Being that I can no longer talk about my work as freely as I want because my job now has confidential agreements that I signed. I like my job and want to KEEP it and refuse to do anything to hinder it.
So this means I am going to merge my mommy blog “Just Another Girl With Tattoos“ With this one. I will not be posting everything here, so be prepared. It will mostly still be mommy stuff, but still be fun and enjoyable, I hope.
I hope people don’t freek, but I hope it doesn’t get confusing, but it may 
But that is how I roll..heh
Whoa, things have changed…..
Well, it’s been a while since I wrote, I have had a lot going on. *looking* I see my last update was Sep ’09. Well, Xmas was good, New Year was better and I GOT A NEW JOB. That’s right, my job in the automotive industry has officialy become my hobby again!! I’m SO happy for several reasons. I am at a GOOD job with GREAT benefits, I am actually getting paid, I don’t have to worry about the stress as I did working for dad. There is A LOT in and out of working with dad that I don’t have to worry about anymore.
I am officially working for the county. In my deep subconscience need to help people, I have gotten on with the county. I have my foot in the door and feel that this is a GIANT step for me in the RIGHT direction. I AM so excited and for the first time in MANY years I am actually EAGER to go to school.
More as it happens. I plan on writing more for my mommy side, being my work in now confidential information, that will be few and far between.
PEACE

Long over due upate
It seems I have not posted in a while. There has been quite a bit going on. LM is growing like a weed and I have been developing myself spiritually at which point I have been keeping up with that on my other blog. www.holisticempath.com I feel it is best to keep sides of someone seperate. That way it keeps people from not wanting to read due to my opinions all over.
I did not realize how difficult, loving, caring, wonderful being a mom truly is. I am so excited about being a mother considering I would have never thought about it. I am so grateful and thankful for everything in my life.
I hope that everyone can experience. More to come I am being distracted by King of the Hill

6 Month Checkup
Well, today was check up day. He is 18.19 lbs, 27.5 inches long, and is HEAVY. His nose started running a few days ago but it is nothing serious. Doc feels it is a head cold that is associated with his teeth coming in. Let’s hope so.
All I can say is he has come a LONG way from when he was in the hospital.
I love my Little man.

Writing is less stress
When it comes to writing, I am finding that I am thinking about it more then doing it. I will not take into consideration that even though I am not working as much as I use to, if any at all, that is also a reason I am not writing as much as I should.
I had previously been talking to a guy who has a car website that I want to write for. It’s very difficult to offer ‘examples’ when there are no examples to give. Everything I know is in my head, my knowledge, my thoughts, my opinions. I have several blogs I need to maintain and keep up with yet I do not.
I have been SO stressed and SO worked up over the new baby. I am scared to coddle him TOO much or not enough. I want him to go ahead and walk, talk yet I want him to remain a baby.
I am hoping that having this mini laptop, I will write every night prior to bed.
We will see.

Anything with a Drive Thru please…..
I was picking up my lil man yesterday and figured I would swing by and pick something up to eat considering hubby was out of town. I considered chinese and my favorite chinese place would require me to order, wait, and take him out with the car seat and walk in for a total of 2 minutes and then come back out. So I opt’d for the drive thru. then I had an epiphany.
Many single working moms only have this option being it is harder to try to go home and cook when you can just swing by the drive thru. Now, I am referring to when the kids are non walking, first months of their life when they basically travel in the car seat and you carrying their ever so getting heavier ass.
It also made me realize why so many are not healthy. Many try SO hard to work out and be a better them but with a kid or even several kids running around, I can see where it would be an issue.
I also realized that even though your priorities change, you should not neglect yourself. Whether it be time with the hubby, yourself personally, or even just YOU time which EVERY WOMAN NEEDS.
I have to admit that I put lil man first above everything else and I need to stop that. I am mentally working on it.
I feel that my current journey personally is going to put everything else into places for me and I am excited about it all.
To ALL the mothers out there. do NOT neglect your ‘ME’ time. it will show up later and you may go postal on everyone. Than again, if you decide to, let me give you my list and have at it. I promise it’s not long…lmao

It’s starting…..
In attempts to find out information about infants, I constantly do research online. It can be a blessing and a curse. At times, the information makes sense and I am able to tell what is going on instead of spending money going to the doctor. The curse is not every child is the same, so you get many different answers and I don’t know what is right. Perfect Example: When do babies start teething.
I have found out, however, that at 4 months old, he has gotten his first tooth. Everywhere is saying 6 months but noooo. I have abseil day and night so I should be ok. I hope it doesn’t hurt him too bad but being he has never experienced it before, any reactions would not surprise me.
Ever since Mikey has been sick, it’s very difficult to try to know the difference between normal baby things and serious issues. It’s a blessing he survived but then again it ruined my thoughts on normal baby things. Again, why I am always online looking at things.
I’m sitting here watching my hubby holding my son, looking too cute and I hope he can sleep through the night. Both of them…..lol
