Teensy Update / 9 Months

I realize I haven’t written in…forever. Everytime I update I tell myself: Self, you must update every day now that you’ve caught up. You must make the effort! But it never happens. I never have time and that really sucks. It might sound weird, but I feel like I’m missing so much if I’m not updating. Like, if I want to come back and read about something, it won’t be there :(. I was thinking of just not renewing my domain next month, but I just can’t let it go. I’ve had pixydust.net since, what? 2001? No, I just can’t. I’ve invested too much time. I’d rather just let it collect dust than someone else snatch it up.

Anyway, things’ve been good. I’ll update in more detail later, because I totally have to, but things at work have been great, the kids are all great and Sally had her baby shower last Sunday. It was awesome. I need to update all my pictures (I realized I haven’t updated my pictures since the kids started school August 27th!). Jaylen’s reading rather fluently now for a 5-year-old. He kind of just took off! Eenan’s in Oral Reading now in UIL, aside from Storytelling. Eenan’s filling also fell out on that same darn tooth that it keeps falling out of. Oh yeah, and my molar broke so I gotta get that fixed. Thank God I have Dental!

Alaethia turned 9 months today. I figured if I couldn’t update on everything else, I’d definitely have to find time to update about her 9-month birthday. She’s a doll. Everyone loves her, everyone thinks she’s the cutest thing they’ve ever seen. Her curls are CURLS now. She’s tiny, so she’s still wearing 3-6 months, which makes me happy since she’s got TONS of clothes she received at her baby shower that she didn’t get a chance to wear last winter. She’s trying her hardest to stand without help and she just zooms about in her walker. What else? She’s kind of reverting back to her early months when she’d wake up 2 + times a night. I’d gotten her to wake up only once — at 2:30am — but now she’s waking up at 12, 2 and 4:30. That really sucks since I have to wake up for work at 5:50 :(. I noticed this happens everytime she gets sick. First when she got the Roseola virus and now because of the cold she had.

She still loves her baths, although she still can’t spend too much time in the water because of her Eczema. It’s controlled at least. She does the cutest face when you’re messing with her face, for example, trying to wipe her down or give her medicine. She shuts her little eyes and pouts — it’s too darn cute.

Okay, Mario’s off today since they have a sale starting tomorrow and he has to work on Friday, his day off. The men are bar-b-q’ing outside and I have to drop Rolando, Eenan’s friend, off at home so I shall go now.

Oh yes. And we have a new dog. A white Boxer with Bengal spots on her body. And she’s got a brown and blue eye. She’s kinda weird looking, but she’s cute at the same time LOL.

All I know is: I ain’t picking up poop.

P.S. I can’t believe Dumbledore’s gay! I never imagined him being gay for some reason. Actually I never imagined him having intimate relationships. He was just Dumbledore! I think it’s pretty cool though, that the series had a gay character. I just wish we would have realized this when the story was unfolding, y’know?

P.P.S. MRSA is spreading like wildfire in the Valley. Two middle schools and an elementary have confirmed cases of one student at each with the bacterial infection. I’m so scared of it spreading to my boys’ school or to my workplace!
