I'm so glad that tomorrow is my off day. Getting up at 5:50-6am has taken a while to get used too. I'm used to getting up later, as is April. But I have to say I'm loving it. I get up and I get out the door and do my hours and then I have the rest of the day free. I love it. I get to work and spend time doing my thing, and then come home and spend time with my baby.
I got some veggies for a yummy new recipe thing I'm going to try tomorrow. Actually I'm going to just throw a bunch of stuff together and see how it goes... I'm not one for recipes. Some of the veggies I got were organic which should make it even better. I'm going to crock pot it for most of the day most likely. I can't wait... I got some yummy tortillas today also that are super healthy. They're pretty good too. Had a nice turkey wrap earlier today. It''s been awhile since I've had one of those.
Overall the past few days have been pretty good. Time seems to be moving faster this week for some reason. April has started saying a ton of new things this week. Out of no where. Thinking about that reminds me how much work I have to do on her baby book and her scrap book, and her photo album. I am almost dreading it in a way because I'm so far behind lol. But once I drag everything out, and dive into it, I love it.

Chaos
The title says it all. Today has been crazy. This morning we went over to Jason's moms house. He tore down the shelving in the garage that she didn't want there anymore. The people who put it up way back in the day sure knew how to build shelving.. that thing was solid. Milford is having a big trash day and Jason is trying to get everything done in time. April and Shaw were crazy and all over the place today.
I got my new plates today for my car. Even though my birthday was last week.... I didn't drive a whole lot, but I don't do things that would get me pulled over anyways... I went and got new plates because the fees for the personalized plates have gone up to 79 for me to renew... so I spent the 64 this year to get new plates and then next year it'll only be about 54. I knew they were going up. I held out as long as I could but they aren't worth that much money. When I first got them they were only 60... they have gone up 20 bucks.
Thursday April went and stayed with her grandma up in Troy. I worked pretty much the whole weekend but working in the mornings allows me to have the rest of the day.... Friday I went to the k9 and wine event for work. That was pretty cool. Got to sit around and laugh and talk to some nice people. Saturday as soon as I got home from work we basically walked out the door... we headed down to West Virginia. We found a new place and hiked for awhile. Didn't care too much for it though. But that's what we do... we like to go out and find new places... Shaw did awesome. We let her off leash most of the hike and she did great. We would walk so far and then turn around so we wouldn't get lost and she would follow the trail back that we took and she was always right on key. One point we switched which way we going back and it was so hard to break her from wanting to go the original way... she would run ahead and sit and wait for us. She's a great dog.
Sunday after I got off work we headed up to grandmas. We had a family get together. Since there are a few birthdays all around the same time we usually wait and do them all together. My sister got me this really nice photo coaster set. It's really cute. I can't wait to get some pictures in them. I got a few gift cards and then some cash.. It was a pretty fun day. Had some good food. Had plenty of leftovers to bring home too. The girls had a blast with Shaw. She did great also staying in the yard and listening. I was really pleased.
This week it's back to work and who knows what else.... this coming weekend is a working weekend for Jason out at the farm. The last weekend of this month is our last horse show. Then we're done for the season.
April is making progress with her vocab. Of course she knows the word no. She's got that down good. She is learning her body parts pretty well. She can tell you where everything is on her face, her belly, and her hand and her feet. She's pretty funny. She knows what open and close means. She's my little girl and I'm so glad to have her back.
I'm debating if I want to get a tattoo or not. Since both my sisters have one, and my mom is going to get one I might get one too. Maybe when my mom goes I might go with her... I dunno. I'm a big baby sometimes. But I really do want one.
Ok that's it for now. Need to get off here and get some stuff done, even though I know I'm gonna end up not getting off and staying on here playing and being lazy... oh well.

Free time
April is with her grandma this weekend. My mom called a week or so back and we worked it out so that when they came down to Cincy for my sister's doctor appointment they would swing by and pick her up. Sunday we're meeting at my grandma's for birthdays. So I'll get her back then. I get to go through the clothes... I guess she has some bins of clothing for April. She usually stocks up and then I go through and pull out what she can wear. It's going to be hard this winter getting pants that fit her. She still has the waist size of 18 months, but the length of 24 months. Heck I have a few skirts that are 12 months that she still wears. Shirt sizes for her are in between 24 month and 3t.. I pulled out most of her fall stuff and she's not too bad off so far. The pants though are what concern me. I have plenty, I just don't know if they are going to fit.
Since I'm baby free tonight I'm going to go an even for CT. Working afternoons I never got to go to any of the events, and now that I'm on am shifts I can. It's in Mason Montgomery and it's at a high end pet store I guess. I'm taking Shaw. There is going to be drinks, and snacks provided by Claudaghs (spelling?) Irish pub. I'm pretty excited to go. We're going to have service dogs there.
Well that's it for now... gotta get ready to head out.
