AYDAN STARTING CRAWLING.....

Well I knew that it was close to that time when he would start crawling. But I never would have thought that he would have taken off like he did. I was in the shower, warm hot shower, Mariano is shaving and he is like look. Sure thing to do when you are in the shower, but we have a glass door in the shower, well I saw Aydan coming through. He got up against the door and was banging. We was shocked. So Aydan spent the next 30 minutes playing 'fetch' with Mom and Dad. We got on video, but he finally got a hold that we were just making him do it. He gave up quickly. So we are eating supper in the living room, which is going to have to stop. Most of the time Aydan has already ate his supper, although he always thinks that he should have some of what we are eating. Even though he is already full. But he will stare at us and just lick his lips, very sad picture. But tonight he realized that he didn't have to stare anymore, he learnt to crawl over to where I was, pull up on the couch (which he did for the first time on Saturday), and grab my plate before I had time to pull it away. Luckily nothing was spilled. But he insisted on having some Salsa de Verde (green sauce) and some sour cream. Which he loved!!! Not trying to sound selfish but I am glad that we were the first one to see him crawling. Because I have thought about that since I am working on how much I am missing out. But he is soon to be 10 months old, and which is sad, I have already cried about that....but it has been 2 weeks since I have cried about leaving Aydan in the mornings. So God is still helping me with that.
Still haven't heard anything about Mariano's immigration. The lawyers have sent everything off so we are just waiting. But you know how the devil is, bringing it to your mind always. But God has proven faithful time and time again and I have faith that he will meet our needs and HE WILL NOT FAIL US.
Aydan is feeling better. Still congested but his appetite has increased to what it was before so I know that his ears are feeling better.
Oh on another note, the other night Mariano handed me Aydan to put to sleep, but I could tell that Aydan wasn't ready to go to bed. So I grabbed a toy for him to play with while I was reading my favorite Series. Anyways, of course Aydan didn't want his toy, he wanted my book. Which the book belonged to the Library so I wanted to take care of it. So I told him 'no' a few times and took his hand off of the book, and then he wanted to try and tare the pages, so after saying no a few times, I smacked his hand. Didn't phase him that he was to stop. So I popped his hand again, well Mariano gets off the couch comes over and grabs him and says that he will hold him so that I can read and he doesn't get popped. Talk about furious!!! I was like hello I am trying to discipline him and here Mariano comes and gets him. So I told Mariano that by doing that Aydan will learn that when Mommy corrects him that Daddy will come and make things alright. Mariano was like no, that's not it, Aydan is just too young to get spankings. I was shocked because Aydan is at the age when he will be getting into things and he needs to be told. So that is in the air, although I have started discipline I don't think that I need to back down. As for Mariano, who I thought would be the tough one with discipline, is the exact opposite. So we were on the same page before Aydan came along about our discipline techniques, but I guess they went up in smoke.
Inventory is this week, instead of a counter I have been 'promoted' to an auditor. I just looked at my boss and told him anything concerning inventory was no promotion unless you wanted to tell me that I had those days off. Unfortunately he does though, he did already have his vacation time in before they announced the dates. I just hope I get to go to the Haiti Mission thing on Friday night. Last year they messed up and everyone had to go and help recount the Warehouse in Drexel. They worked on Saturday too so I am not too happy about that.
Mariano has informed me that it is time to go to bed...Aydan is asleep, I just kind of got up from my hour nap so really not sleepy but I need to go anyways....but maybe I will get another post in this week...grin!!!

I know, I know....

I know that I am very much behind. But since I have been getting home later in the evenings, I really don't have much time to do anything. Since gas is high now, well it has been for awhile, I try not going to the library everyday. Besides now @ the library, you have to 'reserve' a computer unless you are lucky and they aren't full. But I have been reading the First Born Series by Karen Kingsbury so I usually do that on my lunch break.
Well I have my first "Santa" talk today. A lady at work had her granddaughter's picture taken with Santa and she was showing her off. She is really cute but her expression was hilarious. Almost like she didn't' know to cry or not. Her name is Scottlynn. Not for sure on the spelling but they combined her Mom and Dad's name together, I like it very much. Have to keep that in mind. But anyway she asked if I was going to take Aydan, and I told her know. She first thought that we didn't celebrate Christmas at all. So we got into a discussion, she didn't' call it lying but never really came out and said what it was she was calling it. I mean hello, you tell her Santa came down the chimney, for one you don't have one, so you have to make up another idea, then he left all the gifts. I just told her I am teaching my child not to lie, so why lie to him about something that will not make a hill of beans anyways. We didn't argue but you know it felt awkward. But she is the type not to let things bother her, so I am glad it was her but I know that they are others that are going to be asking the same thing.
Work is going good. Things are starting to pick up, so I am not looking at the walls anymore. We had two people, who had leaves they had to go on, so they are starting to pick up some. Then one of our, take that back our only supplier is shutting down. So we went into 'jibees' trying to find someone else. But we are going to be able to get the biggest part of their inventory from their warehouse, which will hold us awhile. So we have been given more time. My boss flew up to Conn. yesterday to make arrangements. My corporate manager left today to go back to France. Really couldn't understand hardly anything he said. Really didn't' like to hear him speak. I am glad that I wasn't the one listening to him going over a 72 page contract with one of our freight companies. I was in there for one hour,had enough, luckily found a good enough reason to get out. Not everyone was too happy about that. Did get a free lunch, it was really good.
We are getting ready for Holidays!?!?! I am excited and disappointed at the same time. Since I have been working @ Saft, I have always gotten two weeks off for Christmas/New Year's, but that was only the production floor. The office only get the Paid Holidays off unless you have vacation time to take. STINKS!?!?! But I used all of my vacation time during my maternity leave because I really didn't plan on being at Saft this long. Hopefully not for too much longer either. Although it would be sad to train me, and then I leave! But Aydan has my heart!!!
So we got another package from the Immigration lawyers. Hadn't had time to fill them out, or really even look at them. But I think they have sent all original documents off and they were just giving up a copy of what they sent, at least I hope so because I am tired of digging stuff up trying to find stuff. That makes alot of since, right!
Well I need to go and get my chapter read for the night, got to find out if John Baxter gets in touch with Dayne Matthews, his biological son whom he has never met. Very interesting book, you MUST READ!?!?!

First day on the job by myself...

Well for the most part it went okay. I am kind of wondering how they are going to combine two jobs into one, because I only know one job (reception) and it kept me busy all day long. Although they do say that Monday's are more hectic. So I think I will be so busy it won't be funny. But I still enjoy. So it is good because I can take some time off, as long as I have someone covering the phones for me, which so far has been good but I don't know how long that will last. I can make my time up during the week as well. So Aydan has been sick for three weeks. We took him to the doctor he had an ear ache. He was congested as well so while he was on the antibotic he was fine. Last thursday was his last day on the medicine. So the cold part came right back. So we took him again today to the doctor because he started getting a cough and he was getting deeper. The diagnoses was RSV. That horrible ugly word. He is contagious, although the doctor said the worse part was over and that he would probably be congested maybe one or two more weeks. After that then if the symptoms still are present to bring him back in again. Another $33.00. Part of having a child though. But he has another medicine so hopefully this will help him...

SATURDAY...

Well I am believing now that it is Saturday night that I finally got a Saturday off. Not too much overtime going on in the office, we are allowed 4 hours but no more than that, we have to have our Boss's signature. But my first week of my new job was really quick and great. They are combining two jobs into one, which I am not for sure how things might go with that. Anyways, the lady that is to train me her dad had surgery a week ago Friday, but he isn't recovering too well from it, so she was out all week. The next lady got the flu and was out for three days, then my boss took Friday off to go to Ohio to go hunting. So next week will be rough because they will have to catch up and train me at the same time. I have my own office, need some tips on decorating it. I didn't take anything in there while the other lady was there, but so far I have a 5x7 picture frame of Mariano, Aydan, and me. I am looking for like a flower arrangement to go on the filing cabinets. There is two real flowers, but they are likely to die by the end of next week because I dont' have a green thumb. Not too much into flowers anyways, so I am kind of wondering about that. Kind of excited because I have never got to do this.
So how is my Saturday going? Didn't go to bed until 2:00 AM Saturday morning because I was up watching Smallville. Finished the last Season. Went to bed, Aydan has a cold so he was up every hour with breathing problems. Never thought to turn on the Humidifier, so poor thing suffered until 5:00 this morning, Mariano had to work 6-11 so he woke Aydan up. Aydan thought that it was a great time to talk so last we looked at the clock it was after 6. He took a bottle then so I thought yea, 11:00 here we come. YEA RIGHT! 8:30 and he was ready to go full blast. I tried a couple of toys in the bed but he wasn't satisfied, I even shut the curtains to make it a little more darker in the room, didn't work. Mom and Dad's room is like pitch dark so I thought maybe that would help. Sometimes he doesn't wake up at Mom's til 11, but that has never worked for us. Although I would like to give it a try. Got the laundry completed for the week, until next weekend, kitchen cleaned up. Didn't get around to vacuming and mopping, probably tomorrow or the next day, then if not then, the next day, you know how it goes. Na seriously needs to be done. We all got our baths out of the way with tonight, and we get AN EXTRA HOUR OF SLEEP TIME, HOORAY!!! Sleep is so much of a hobby for me.
Well until next time...need to study for Sunday School, pray, brush teeth, read a little in my book, and the SNOOZE.
