Finishing My List

I posted a post a few days ago and I made a little list of things I want to talk about. Well, instead of forgetting about it I just need to do it.. It will feel so good.

First I will say that my day was better. I went to work, cooked dinner, took the boys on the walk and then watched a movie with Malik and ate some icecream. Now it is 12:30 at night and I am ready to hit the sack. I am hoping that my tomorrow will be alright. I open so I will have the evening to get stuff done...

Here is my list:
Our Golf Cart
Our vacation
Our big change at the store
Organization
Child Proofing
Mike's Parents
My sister
Malik staying with us

Golf Cart:: I was so excited about Mike bringing home the golf cart. I took Alex on a ride everynight and it was so much fun!!! Mike told me he was going to try and pay his dad payments and then never talked to him about it before it sold. I am sad we did not get to buy it. I would love to have one considering we live in a tiny town where everyone drives them around. Oh well, our day will come.

Our Vacation: VACATION?? Where?? When?? It is a word I wish I heard more often. I feel like our vacation went so very fast. I enjoyed it so much which is really all that matters. I had 8 days at home with my husband and baby so I could not have asked for more!! It was great!!

Our Big Change at the Store: We are considering moving stores.. We need more room. We are also getting a POS system that is AWESOME.. It is going to help us with EVERYTHING.. I cannot wait to get really organized and have things ELECTRONICALLY filed away.

Organization:: Well, just when I thought I had EVERYTHING organized and under control my little sister moved in and I had to move it all around and start all over. Although I would not trade it, I just need to learn how to deal with our situation now. I want to rearrange the living room everyday.. he he.
I also did ALL My dishes a couple of days ago and I have kept them up everyday. I have been doing a load every evening. It feels good. I just realize that with Me, Mike, Alex, Malik and Emily trying to keep the living room clean is IMPOSSIBLE. I clean it at night and by the next evening it is trashed. I just don't feel like I can keep up with it.

Child (Alex) Proofing: Alex has a MAGIC way of finding the smallest things ANYWHERE. I mean he has found things in this house I never even knew where there. He scopes out the area and goes for anything he can put into his mouth. He has also started opening cabinets and drawers. I have to get some of those plastic clips for everything. He is so darn smart and loves to learn about everything. I just love him so much!!!

My Sister: Emily is beautiful, smart and wonderful. I love her and I appreciate the person she is becomming. She is having to learn who she is and how to cope. We are getting through everything one step at a time. I am learning things about myself and also learning how to cope along with her. She teaches me new things everyday. It is hard to have someone move in your home with you. I am just glad she respects me.. I love knowing she is safe and happy here.

Mike's Parents: I love them!! I don't know what I would do without them. Alex loves them SOOOO much. Everytime he sees them she just SCREAMS and SCREAMS his little excited screams. He knows where we are as soon as we pull in the driveway. It is amazing!! I know they are always there for me and It makes me feel good to know that. They are the first people I call when Alex does something funny or learns something new. It is great to have them!! I appreciate everything they do for us.. Alex is so lucky to have them!!

Malik: WOW he is with us for 9 days and it is harder than I EVER thought it would be. Two boys wanting my ATTENTION 24/7.. The last time I had him Alex was not born and he had my 100% attention. Now he has to share and he does NOT like it. He is amazing and cute and I LOVE HIM SO MUCH. I would keep him for 100 days if I could. I just never realized how much work 2 children are. I also feel bad for Alex cause he wants all my attention too and I just have to share myself. I am NOT ready for another baby. I want to enjoy my baby boy as long as I can!! It was the cutest thing. Malik and Alex were laying in bed with me and Malik leaned over and kissed Alex on the head and said "Alex, you my best friend. I love you".. Moments like that make all the hard times not so hard. Alex gets so excited when he sees Malik and I love that. They really do love eachother.
I miss my sister Anne. I am used to talking to her 5 times a day at least and I have not got to talk to her for 5 days. It is killing me. I just wish she could call and let us know she is ok and having fun.
Alright, I am going to bed now!! I will post again tomorrow!!!
