I cannot believe my little guy turned 18 months old yesterday. It is absolutely amazing to watch him learn and talk and climb. The downside is that being a boy he has to climb on things that aren't safe. Or he gets excited and runs so fast he falls and hurts himself. Tonight has been all of those things all rolled into one. It has been just the two of us all day. I really needed it. I have been working so much trying to get money for Christmas and Dusty's birthday... It has been hard. I only see Corbin it seems on days when Dusty is working and me and Dusty are never home at the same time. I hate it. So tonight... Corbin went up the stairs lightening quick. I ran up after him and he had already found some change and had a quarter in his mouth and a penny in his hand. So I was worried he had swallowed some. He is breathing just fine so I'm sure within a day or two if he did swallow some I will be seeing it again in his diaper. Then a little bit later he was running around, fell on the highchair and his mouth was bloody. Apparently when he fell he hit his lip on his teeth and barely cut the inside of his lip. Then he was trying to climb on top of the upside down laundry basket and he fell and hit his head on the tile. This kid is going to give me a heart attack. He was crying and when I picked him up I kept saying "love you" and he said "lub oooo". Cutest thing ever. He makes my day. No matter what kind of crap I am dealing with it doesn't matter as long as I have Corbin and Dusty.
Thing have been good. Really good. I have been able to work enough that we are going to have an amazing Christmas. We have goals and there is not a doubt in my mind we can meet them. We owe NO bills til January. Things are pretty great. Dusty continues to be an amazing husband, and Corbin is perfect.
We have decided we will be getting pregnant.... In March of 2012. We want to wait so we have time for Dusty to get his vacation hours all saved up so he can take the 3 months off with me. We want to have a large $ amount in our savings. We want to be debt free (besides our mortgage) when the baby comes. I am glad that we decided to wait. I am really enjoying my time with Corbin. I love being able to give him all of the attention. When we have another one I know we won't favor one over the other. It won't matter what they like to do, what teams they like, how they dress, if they play sports or if they want to be a ballerina... They will always always always be equals. I had to deal with being the oldest. It was not fun. My sister got away with everything and got whatever she wanted and still to this day I feel like the outcast. That will never happen to my kids.
I found out tonight that I will be getting trained to be a supervisor at my work! I am very excited because it gives me the chance to get more shifts and to make more money. I have wanted this for a long time and I am so glad it is finally happening. If I am going to be there as long as I want to be I want to move up. I don't want to put in all the time and not go anywhere. I don't want to be just an agent my whole skywest career. I want to have opportunity. I love the company and I want a chance to prove myself. I can't wait... That starts Friday!
I am excited to get my Christmas shopping DONE. I wanted to be done already. I wanted to be able to put all my money on black friday into buying Corbin toys and Dusty presents. That isn't exactly how it worked out. Plus we have to buy a damn Christmas tree this year. Even with that I know we will still have an amazing Christmas. I am so excited to have Christmas just the 3 of us... sitting by our own tree, in our own house. I am really looking forward to hanging home all day with Corbin and Dusty.
Of course before Christmas shopping we have Thanksgiving. Normally one of my favorite holidays but this year won't be the same. I'm not going to see my family in Tooele so that is a real bummer and it is starting to sound like I am going to miss the dinner anyways because I work til 6. Sucks. I thought something would get changed or something would work out but that isn't happening so far. I will get off work and come home to go to bed early to be out all day shopping the next day. I am going out at 4 a.m.! I know its crazy but its the only way to Christmas shop. If you are paying more than $7 for a dvd... you are getting robbed! If you have never been I would highly recommend it!
