Fun Day Yesterday :)

Our day started off cute as always. We let Jellybean out for some exercise and she attacked Noah with her little cold wet nose. I'm surprised she loves him. I think he's mean to her, but I guess she's a glutton for punishment. I didn't turn the computer on until bedtime yesterday! I was pretty proud of myself. Today I had to turn it on to look at computers since Josh's is about to die... and you know, one thing leads to another :P Anyway... yesterday was such a nice day we just HAD to go to the zoo. Noah was such a good boy!! I just couldn't believe how well-behaved he was the entire time. He was a little angel. AND he actually ATE FOOD! hahaha... this is a big deal to me. Not only did he eat food, he ate an apple and rice!!! :O I was in shock. I think the lack of TV for him and addition of outside play and mommy time did a lot of good.



My favorite part of the day was when Noah drew his own spiders. I love art and if my son shows even any remote interest in art I get excited. Look how lifelike his little red spiders are! Of course a boy would want to draw spiders... not flowers or rainbows or kitties or people, just big red dots with lines sticking out of them. That's my boy :)

I talked to a mom I met through cafemom on Yahoo yesterday. She has a daughter who is only a month younger than Noah and a 10mo old boy. She seems really fun and laid back and I can't wait to actually hang out with her. We only live like 10 minutes away from each other. In other words... I think I may have made a friend :O A friend?! ME?! I know, shocking. Oh and this weekend I'm taking Noah to see "Shrek the Third" because I am dying to see it. OK I am now going to shut the computer off and walk away. GO ME!

Almost Doesn't Count

We almost ended up with a puppy today. An adorable baby Jack Russell Terrier mix wandered into our yard. He was very sweet, laid back, flea-ridden, dirty, cute, a little broken, good temperament, un-fixed, and very very good with Noah and Emma. I asked the neighbors about him and they showed me where the owner lived. She took him inside and told me how he's driving her crazy because he chews through collars and gets out of the yard (which is because he's a puppy and not an outside breed). She mentioned possibly getting rid of him. Lo and behold he wandered back into our yard not too long after that... interesting. I wanted to adopt him because he was unwanted, but shouldn't have been. He was a very sweet dog. I would have called him Jackie I think :) This brings me to a rant. I know I've posted about the way people around here treat their pets. This is a perfect example. This lady didn't want the puppy anymore so she simply let it go. No collar, no tags

Still Happy!! HOORAY!!

We're still going strong with our happiness levels out here. Yesterday was a little bit rough because Tristan was especially whiney, but today was amazing :) We got our grocery shopping done and even managed to have fun doing that! Noah and I were singing Christmas songs already while Tris and Bren laughed at us. Tristan sometimes piped in with a "all the way" when we were singing Jingle Bells. Noah was cracking up when I sang him the Batman version :D After all that excitement the 2 wee ones went down for their naps and Noah and I gave Bosley a bath with his new tea extract shampoo. He looks and smells so wonderful now :) He was in such a good mood after that too! Noah made a concoction of plum leaves, olives, dirt, and paper which he called "olive a cado". While he was doing his own grocery shopping I was taking some macro shots with my new focus point knowledge. I'm very happy. I thought I loved my camera before! Anyway... We also built a littl

Victim Triangle

Thought I would share this on here since I've shared it with at least 3 people individually at this point.  I've been working on  establishing and maintaining healthy personal boundaries  so any instance in my life where I have unhealthy boundaries have been really obvious.  Still not great at dealing with those instances, but I'm getting better all the time.  While I'm working, this keeps popping up at different times to illustrate my inter/intra-personal communication cycles that need to be broken. https://www.karpmandramatriangle.com/ The hardest part for me has been recovering from taking responsibility for everyone's emotional state.  I would feel immense pressure to involve myself in other peoples' triangles, thinking I had to play the mediator role.  I would get intense feelings of anxiety, thinking about their expectations of me to fix their relationship... or feel it was my duty to point out if I saw an issue (without ever being asked or expected
