Really?!?!?!?! Where the hell did my phone go?

Started off the day with a cup of coffee with my favorite creamer, and since I didn't have a "to go" coffee cup I put it in Tyler's Coca Cola cup because it had a lid. (I even drank the coffee through a straw!)  Started work at the regular time but this time I decided I didn't need to eat before work and was okay for the first couple of hours but I reeeeally needed something to eat it seems like as soon as I found out I'd be going on break late.  :/

Teresa let me go home early today, which was a much needed relief because I had hit my head on a small part of the safe in the manager's office :(. 

Happy Birthday Tyler!!!!!

So today is your birthday, well Happy Birthday to ya!!!

Happy Birthday Tyler!!!  I <3 You!!!

I was not honestly too sure about how today would go being that I had to work an overnight at McDonalds last night and got off around 6:10a.  I still had to finish up Tyler's birthday cake.  It is in the shape of a "2" & "8" stuck together with yellow Peeps around it.  Why yellow Peeps you may ask, well, its Tyler's GOLDEN birthday and a comment was made that he wanted his presents wrapped in golden wrapping paper so I went up and down the aisles of WalMart looking for all yellow objects to use for his b-day cake since I didn't know what to buy for his birthday.  
 
Tyler said that the last time he had a birthday cake in the shape of his age was when he turned 5 :).  It does look pretty cute if I do say so myself. 

Tyler and I (and of course Ethan) went to B-dubs for lunch and walked around Target afterwards for something to do.  Tyler found a game he liked and picked it out as his present.  Also we bought a sippy cup for Bubby, in almost my desperate hopes that he will drink from this and not want to use his bottle anymore.  Please say a prayer!

What big plans do we have for the day may you ask, well, you may ask but it might not seem to exciting to anyone else but I enjoy playing BINGO and Tyler does too (a little bit at least anyway) so we are going to go to Majestic BINGO Hall tonight to get our BINGO on and hopefully win something.  It would make his birthday that much better.

A Mommy:Lost

Phew! We're through another month and its almost Tyler's birthday!!!  The thing though that frustrates the crap out of me is that when I ask Tyler what he wants for his GOLDEN birthday his reply is either "I don't know" or "Let me think about it".  So as of this moment I don't have a thing for Tyler's birthday :(  Before I have to leave for work, I am going to attempt to make him a cake in the shape of a 2 & 8 because Lord knows I am going to probably be pretty sleepy when I get home from working the overnight at McDonalds.

Ummmm, let me see what else...

Finally I was able to spend the weekend (pretty much) down in Carlinville visiting my parents and Ashley & Lexie.  We ate at some yummy places down in Carlinville, one of them Angus Bailey's.  Ethan enjoyed getting to see his cousins and puppies (Burt & Addie).

I do also feel sometimes like a lost Mommy.  Its not that I don't know how to get somewhere its more of how to teach my son different skills such as using a sippy cup.  I know some people have suggested to just simply take away ALL bottles and only offer the sippy cup, well I feel that I have made an honest effort at that avenue but I don't think it works for Ethan.  Yet I do not want to keep offering different types of sippy cups because I don't want to confuse him either.  :(  I am going to only give him a sippy cup during his dinner and maybe I'll pick the right type.
Also, I want to be "guided" into how to give him finger foods.  The little man does not really like anything being put into his mouth except baby food on a spoon.  There are sooooo many things that I just feel so lost about.

Lent has also begun.  I knew pretty much right away that I was wanting to give up Facebook & soda.  My disappointment in myself began on a night when Tyler and I ordered pizza and I practically begged for him to get me soda :(.  While I still have not even looked or tried to see my FB page, I have drank soda on multiple occasions.  It seems like the only time I have been able to give up soda for any such a lengthy time was when I was pregnant with Ethan.
