Weekend over :(

This weekend went by way too fast! I had so much fun with my sister. I really wish they lived closer or I did at least. For Maddisen's birthday party we went to the gym where she have gymnastics. It was so much fun and Maddie is really good. I made her show me her routine on the bars, bean and vault. She has gotten 1st place on the vault in ever one of her meets so far. Im so proud of her. The car ride home sucked though. Caleb got sick Sunday morning around 6am. He threw up at 6am, 830am and at 10am. I felt so bad for my baby. Its one thing to be sick at home but at someone elses house and in the car. That is no fun. He were about 10 miles to Biggs and he threw up again. I told my dad he will start to cry when he is about to throw up so when I say pull over I mean it. LOL. Well he didnt cry this time. I barely got the cup up to his face in time. When he was done Caleb said, "I didnt even cry that time mom". It was so cute yet so sad because I knew he felt like crap. Anyways, a 6 and a half hour trip took us 7 and a half hours because we had to stop so many times to rinse out the puck cup. I love being away but it is so nice to be home. I filled out my fafsa for fall2011/spring2012 already. I heard they were due March 1st. Oh and does the financial aid cover the summer program???? How do we pay for that? Ugh... so much to do. Oh and as if moving and school, and work and my son wasnt enough, my mom wants me to help her plan my dads 50th surprise birthday party! I think my brain is about to explode! Well when all else fails...... go to bed!

Oregon!!!!!

Im in Oregon! Yay! Gosh I love it here. Maddisen's birthday party is tomorrow at the Gymnastics Acadamy. It should be fun. I might try to bust out some old moves from my gymnastcs days.... or I might just break my back lol. Either way, it will be fun.

American Idol!!!!!!

I am all in on American Idol! I love Jennifer Lopez. She is so real and emotional. Its great to see that she cares and wants these young artists to succeed. I love music! I cant play any instruments and I'm not a very good singer but music is such a big part of my life. I agreed with most of the decisions except the very last one made me a little upset. They had Colton, JC, and Brett and they could only pick one. They chose Brett. He has a great voice but I really thought Colton was more consistent throughout the competition. I have my early favorites but I always seem to change my mind about the third week in. This is the only show I watch on tv. Im just too busy for tv. My mom always asks how I know whats going on in the world if I never watch the news. I have to remind her that there is this great thing called the internet lol. Well on a different note, Im all packed and ready for my mini vacation. I really cant wait to see my sister. I miss her so much and hate that she lives so far away. Part of me wants to drop out of school, quit my job and start over there. I will finish school over there one I get settled because I want to become a teacher sooooo bad. I dont know. God gave us this one life and I want to make the best of it. I dont want to hold back because Im scared it wont work out. I have played it safe for so long. It might be time to take a risk. Well at least not for a while, I am moving in with my brother in 2 weeks!!!! Well I do believe it is time to study for the Anthro test. I think I have realized that this blog thing is more addicting than facebook........ well maybe not, but it is close :)

funny people

I work for a vending company, Im sure I have told you all that. It gets pretty interesting sometimes. I have people call all the time for losing money. Most of the time I will tell them to put a note on the machine with how much they lost and the driver will find you at a work and reimburse the money. Well, today this lady calls and she said the machine gave her her money but it didnt give her the proper amount of change back. I asked if she worked at the college (SCC) and she said no that she was a student. I said well if you give me the time you will be at the building I will send my service tech out to meet you and give you your money back. She said ok thats fine. Then I asked her who much it was. She said, "a nickel". I started laughing. Not purposely because I could get in trouble for being rude. But I couldnt help it. A flippin nickel! Needless to say I didnt even tell the tech about it. Too bad for her. A nickel, come on people! That was the laugh of the day at the office for sure! Well, Im finally going to go to bed before midnight and it feels great! YAY for sleep!

looking ahead

Im super excited to go to Bend this weekend. My sister and her hubby and their 4 kiddos are in Bend. My niece is turning 7 on the 27th so we are headed down there for her birthday. Im excited to spend time with her and the other kids. Since they live 6 and a half hours away, I dont get to see them very often. Especially now with school, I use my weekends to catch up on school work. But I think getting out of town for a few days will be a much needed break. I was also looking ahead at some assignments for school and noticed I have an exam for Anthropology 311 that I have to do by the 26th. Ummm... I have no idea what to study for this thing! I was just thinking about reviewing the chapter we read and hoping for the best LOL. I also got a great phone call today. One of my best friends called me. It was great to hear her voice and just laugh and not talk about my drama mamma life. She lives in Menifee California and I have not seen her in almost 2 years. Her husband is in the Marines so she is there not by choice. Talking to her made me feel a lot better. She asked me what was going on in my life, I told her the gist of it and she just listened. She didnt judge me or tell me to suck it up. Sometimes I miss high school just because of my friends. There was 5 of us that were together all the time. I just miss hanging out with them all the time. We all said our kids would grow up best friends like us but that isnt going to happen. Tosha is in California, Katie is in North Carolina, Krystin is in Virginia and Michelle is in Moscow Id. But I do have to say thank goodness for Facebook because we chat and can talk all 5 of us back in forth. They are trying to convince me to get skype now. haha I probably will end up getting it although Im not very up on the technology wagon. All in all it was a much better day. I fell like my bed is finally calling my name though.

emotionally exhausted

I envy the people who have civil encounters with their child's other parent. This has been such an emotional couple of days. Im behind on homework, I cant sleep, and to top it off when Im stressed out I eat! I have been treating this blog like a journal that I can express my thoughts and feelings. I hope no one is offended by my posts. I feel that the blog has been my vice this last month or so. I honestly feel bi-polar. One day I will be happy and have energy to take on all the challenges the day holds, and the next day I have to literally crawl to the bathroom to take a shower and get ready for work. Im trying to hard to stay positive but I just cant seem to keep up the facade for more than a day. This might sound a little cliche but if I didn't have Caleb I don't think I would do anything that I am doing right now. I don't think I would have the drive to go to school, and I don't think I would think much about my future. He is defiantly my driving force for everything I do. Today Caleb wanted to have popcorn and watch a movie. So he climbed on the counter and grabbed two bowls for us. He told me he wanted the one that said chicken soup on it. I said "ok but you have to be really careful because that bowl used to be your Great-Grandpa's popcorn bowl and that is very special to me. You would have loved him Caleb. He was a great man. He used to work on cars and big logging trucks." Caleb said,"Mom I will be so careful. Can I work on big trucks when I get big like my Great-Grandpa?" I told him yes and sent him to the living room with his popcorn. I started to cry. It was so sweet and I wish he could have known his Great-Grandpa. I feel like an emotional wreck lately. Like on the way to work the other day I heard they Carrie Underwood song "Temporary Home" and I started bawling when I was singing to it. What the heck is wrong with me! Well I better get some other homework done. Have not even started my Anthropology homework that was due Saturday.

So Caleb went with his dad this Saturday and I had made plans to go into Spokane to hang out with some friends. Around 7 I got a text message from Caleb's dad. "You need to come get your fucking kid right now." Very next text because I hadnt text him back yet. "And Im not kidding". I text back, "John Im already in Spokane, its your weekend figure it out." I woke up this morning to a text saying, Come get him, Im done. I said fine John, Im on my way. When I picked Caleb up I didnt say one word to him. Caleb came running up to me and didnt even say good-bye to his dad. When we got in the car I told Caleb he didnt have to go back to his dads and he said ok. He paused then said thank you mom. It broke my heart. I have to send my child to a place where he isnt wanted. He only takes Caleb because he doesnt want to look like a dead beat dad to his wife. I dont know what goes on over there and I know that if his dad did anything bad to him he would tell me but I cant send him over there if he isnt going to be loved and treated right. So I have made up my mind. Im going to the courthouse and suing John for the daycare he is supposed to pay, Im also taking his rights away. Im done. I cant have my baby being mistreated. I hope this is the right decision but I dont know what else to do. Im trying to have my sons father in his life but its not good for Caleb to feel like a burden.  

Daycare

Little man is supposed to wear glasses. He doesnt like to but he has an astigmatism in both eyes and they want to try to correct it before he gets into school. If it is corrected he wont need glasses anymore. So since Caleb is working with the kindergarteners I told him that if he wants to see his work he needs to wear his glasses. So he put them on and he was pretty excited about it. When we got to the school I noticed a note on the door saying that they are closed on Monday. I was thinking, Thats weird what the heck is so special about Monday. Well I guess daycares think that all of us work at banks or in schools and get presidents day off. What the heck! Seriously I need to find a babysitter on a Monday because you people think that presidents day is like flippin Christmas. I work for a vending company, people still want their snacks! So I have been freaking out trying to find a sitter and my boss said, hey Shelbey has Monday off from school. Do you want me to ask her if she would want to watch Caleb? Hello life saver! But this brings up a big debate for me. Why do daycares close on holidays like presidents day and Martin Luther King day. People still have to work. Seems they are just going to loose money by closing. I can see that they closed the school but to close the daycare part is a little ridiculous. Oh well, no point in being mad about it, but I will be damned if I have to pay for a day when they closed when I have to pay another babysitter to watch my son. It would be like paying twice for daycare.
Well on a better note, my mom is coming over Saturday to help me clean my house and throw away crap I dont need at my brothers house.My mom is an organizational queen. She also believes if you dont love it, toss it! I also found a storage unit in Post Falls for $40.00 a month and if I pay for the first 2 months I get the third free! Im starting to get really excited about the move. Especially since my neighbors above me decided to get a flippin puppy. Ugh.... I love animals but they are not meant to be in apartments. I can hear it yappin at all hours of the night! Well, I dont think I have anything else to say, Im glad tomorrow if Friday though. Im so done with work!

Facebook stalkers

Her name is Chantel and she is the reason why my sons father and I are not married right now. She tries to be my friend but I cant like her after what she did. I dont hold a grudge but I dont have to like her either. Well last night I posted on Facebook that I was moving. I got a text from her today saying,"Umm... where you moving to?" I said Im moving in with my brother to help him pay his mortgage. She said oh nice. Then I went on Facebook and saw that a number of my friends had asked where I was moving. I said, :Im moving in with Matt. It will be fun. He has a fenced backyard for Caleb to play and it will be good for Caleb to have a male role model in his life. Well she thought I was talking about John(Calebs dad). I wasnt. I was simply implying at home where Caleb lives there are no males around for him to look up to. She freaked out and told me that Caleb has a male influence, his dad and that I shouldnt bash him on facebook. And that I bitch about John not taking Caleb and then bitch when he does take him. I tried to be nice but she pissed me off. The argument went on for a while then I finally just ignored her. I dont even have my sons fathers phone number because she freaks out if we talk. I have to text or call her if I have anything to say about Caleb. Anyways that is why I need to watch what I say on facebook even if I wasnt saying anything bad about anyone, people take things the wrong way because of there own insecurities.I just think it is funny that she cares so much about my life. Guess its because hers sucks.

So it is official, I put my 30 day notice in to leave my apartment today. It is a little bittersweet. I love my place. It is mine! I have worked so hard to get where I am. March 1st it will be two years that I have lived here. I feel bad for taking Caleb from the only home he has ever known. Guess its a good thing he his only 3. My brother called me today and asked if I had looked into a storage unit. Since he has his own washer and dryer, kitchen table, desk, ect. I have to get a storage unit. But he wants to use my couches so we are putting his in the storage. Maybe that will make it feel like home. I also called Time Warner to cancel my internet and the stupid lady, who spoke a lick of  English, told me she was turning off my internet on Feb 18th. I was a little rude at this point because she didnt listen to a word I said. I told her March 15th to turn if off and she thought I said Feb 15th.  I was not in the mood for ignorant people today. After explaining to her for the 3rd time, she finally figured it out. I also have to make it to the Post Office sometime to fill out a change of address. GOD I HATE MOVING! There is so much to do! Im hoping that when Caleb and I move in my brother will slow down on the drinking. He promised no parties. Hopefully he complies. And he said he told Melinda if she is going to do her laundry at the house she has top buy her own laundry soap. I was like hell ya she will. I dont take kindly to people who take advantage of my family and I will not hold my tongue if I see it happening to my brother. Oh gosh I see a fight already. Crap! Ok Im done rambling.
On a better note! Im so happy to say that Caleb, who is only 3 remember, got moved up to the Kindergarten class today. He goes to a daycare/private school, and they said he is bored with the 2 and 3 year olds. He is so far ahead of them cognitively and emotionally that he acts out because he is not being challenged. Well they told me this about 2 weeks ago and he has been in with the pre-k class. Well today Mindi, the kindergarten teacher in the AM class told me that Caleb has been with the Kindergarteners since Monday. She said that Gabe, Caleb's stepbrother, (Yuck I hate saying that), and Caleb fight all the time and it is a struggle to get them to behave. She said Gabe will tease Caleb and Caleb will get mad and punch him. LOL I shouldnt laugh but it is a little finny. Well they decided that the best thing would be to move Caleb up with the Kindergarteners. I asked her why she didnt move Gabe up because he is a year older than Caleb. She said, because Caleb is more advanced than Gabe in all areas. This makes me feel great! I guess I am doing something right as a parent. Wow! My son will be in Kindergarten 2 years in a row but he will be learning so much more! I totally have bragging rights right about.... NOW :)
Oh and Carly, I have not talked to church guy yet. Im a sissy lala. LOL. I will make an effort to sit near him in church(not making it obvious of course) and I will leave after communion like he does. Maybe he will strick up the convo :)

Valentines day!

Having a holiday where people feel obligated to buy their significant other something special puts too much pressure on relationships. I guess I only think this because I envy the people who are in love. Tonight I went to dinner with my friend Brandon. We have both been broken and beat down by past relationships and felt the need to go to dinner to vent about how much we hate the people who have hurt us and to make sure that we realize we are better off without them. Brandon and I met on a dating website(yes laugh if you must). We were both pressured to go on this from friends and through this we became very good friends. I enjoy having him around and I think I keep him around because I see some potential in him for the future. I think that us building our friendship and trying to mend our broken hearts together is helping both of us become stronger people. It is nice to have someone who understands me and wants to hear about my problems and fears. I know Im not emotionally ready to be in a relationship but it doesnt stop me from wanting one. I want to graduate from college and have a steady teaching job before I commit myself to anyone. I have put my goals on hold for far too long and it is time to think about me for once. So to sum it up, Im bitter and jealous of all the people who are in love and think this is a special day. Hopefully next year I will find it special as well, but until then, I have Caleb to be my special Valentine not just on February 14th, but every day of the year.

moving!

Ok I really prayed about what to do and I have decided Caleb and I are moving in with my 23 year old brother Matt. He really needs help financially and I want to help him out. Besides, it will save me about $100 a month, Caleb will have a steady male influence in his life, and I will have a garage to park my car in! And no crazy neighbors whose POT smell seeps through the vent in my bathroom! So as if school, work, and Caleb isnt enough, now I get to throw moving in the mix. I also have to get a storage unit because my stuff will not fit in his house with his stuff. It will be worth it though. He will get help with the mortgage and I get a house! Not mine but still a house! Im excited for this new adventure and hope it will work out. My brothers mean so much to me and I just cant sit back and watch his struggle anymore.

On a totally different tangent, Caleb was a little hellion today! I took him to the falls park in Post Falls today and as we were leaving he starts running up the road to where the parking lot is. Mind you, it was a very nice day today so it was very busy. I told him about 5 times to stop and he proceeded to the parking lot. I realized he wasnt going to stop so I start running after him. He ran his little ass all the way to my car. As soon as I got to my car I swatted him hard on the butt. I usually dont spank but I was furious! How could he just not listen to me. I put him in the carseat and tried to tell him why I was so mad. I told him(in a load voice) that he could have been hit by a car. I was so upset I was crying. And to make it worse, we were on our way to my parents house for the usual sunday night family dinner. Now both of us are crying. I dont know what to do. He has not been listening to me lately and Im getting so frustrated. I do timeouts, I send him to his room, and I even made him stand in the corner with his nose pointed to it. I hate spanking, not that Im against it by any means because I think kids need a swat once in a while. But as the main way to discipline I dont want to do it. I just dont want to spank him. Im at my whits ends with him right now. Im trying so hard to be the best mom I can be. It is just hard being a single parent period! Im hoping it gets better because most of the time he is good, but lately, we are butting heads.

Serious decisions

So I am in a bit of a dilemma. My little brother was engaged and him and his EX fiance bought a house together. Well, 2 months before the wedding she decided she wasnt ready and left him. He has a great job but his mortgage is $1100 a month plus his other bills he is treading in high water. His bills are $200.00 more a month than his income and that is not including gas to get to and from work. So our littlest brother, who is 19 and a freshman in college at NIC decided to move in and pay $250 a month for rent. Well, they got along till my brother who owns the house got a girlfriend who mooches off of Matt. She is super nice but she is a full time student at NIC as well and she practically lives with Matt. She eats all their food, does her laundry there and showers there too. This all costs Matt more money and Michael, our littlest brother is getting irritated with her being a free loader. So Michael told Matt he was moving out because Melinda was a free loader and he is sick of her eating all their food and basically living there for free. Michael is moving back in with our parents. So, I feel bad for Matt. He is broke and he needs to catch a break. I told him that Caleb and I would move in for $500 a month but that there will be some serious rules! NO PARTIES!!!! Matt it 22 and has parties at his house. If I move in they cant happen. Im not sure if it is a good idea to move in. I want to help him out. When me and Calebs dad broke up I had nothing and he helped me out a lot. I feel like I should return the favor. I mean he is my brother and I dont want him to struggle like I did. But I also hope this doesnt ruin our relationship. I have been really thinking about it and praying about it. Im just not sure if I want to have to move Caleb from the only home he has ever known and also what if I cant handle Melinda being there all the time.Im not the type to hold my tongue. I will tell her where to go if she pisses me off. Ugh..... this is a serious decision!

Zumba

Have any of you done Zumba? Well it is a Latina dance workout video with extremely beautiful women who look like they eat nothing! Anyways, my mom and I are doing it at her work. It is so much fun but I have not coordination! I wonder how the hell I was a cheerleader for so many years?! It sure is fun though and I think I get a better workout laughing at myself and my mom.

Before Zumba, I picked Caleb up from daycare, brace yourself, another Caleb story HAHA! So he gets in the car and starts singing, "Peter built the Church on the Rock of Our Faith....." I chime in and start singing with him. He asks me, Mom what is faith? I said well your faith is what you believe in. Like we believe in God and Jesus. He said oh and dropped the subject for a little bit. Then He said, Mom do you know who Peter is? Me, trying to remember, say yes he is one of Jesus' disciples. Caleb: "No he isnt mom, he is Gods friend. I just said ok and dropped it. Not even a minute later he said, "Mom Im telling Teacher Mindi that you called Peter a disciple!" I laughed so hard I started crying! The thinks that boy says cracks me up!

.

blonde moments

I have a pretty laid back job. I have about and hour and a half to two hours of down time everyday at work. So I use my time to do some reading for school. I was doing my reading for the week for my SS 350 class, which I do not like by the way. Well I got really busy really fast with all the drivers coming in and I left my book on my desk at work. Great flippin job Ashley! The assignment was due tonight and I couldnt do it because I had no book! Tell that to a college professor. Im sure they will understand! NOT! Ugh....
Then after I pick Caleb up from daycare I realize that I need to get gas so I pull into the Exxon on Spokane Street and go to get my debit card. I grab my wallet and look inside to see that it is not there. My first thought is, Wow how drunk did I get Saturday night. Where the heck could it be! So I get back in the car and drive home frantic to find it. I tore my purse apart and nothing, looked in the jeans I wore Saturday night and nothing. I finally decided that to pull all the clothes out of the dryer and look in all the pockets of my jeans. As I was pulling every last article of clothing out, there is was all warm and clean, on the bottom of the dryer. THANK YOU GOD! Not that there is much money on the card anyways, I was more worried about getting to work without running out of gas!
Well, although my assignment will be a day late, and I will have to get up early just to get gas in the morning, Im happy to say that my precious angel is finally sleeping in his own bed tonight :) And that I will be going to bed at a decent time tonight. Oh and Carly, because I know you will read this, I took the pill after I had dinner and we are golden! I didnt throw up! Woohoo!!!!!!!!! Oh and your comments make my day!

mixed feelings about today

So every time Caleb comes back from his dad's he sleeps with me for about 4 days. Awesome right?! Anyways, he hogs the bed and moves around so much. Needless to say I didn't sleep very well. Then, my work decided to switch insurance companies and the birth control I was on is not covered by this new insurance. So I have to take the pill again. I hate taking it because it makes me sick. Well I decided this morning that I would eat some yogurt and take a shower and then take the pill. Well that was a bad idea. I was throwing up all morning. I felt like crap but cant go home on a monday because we are super busy and the drivers come in late on Monday's. And this pill is a very low hormone dose. Sorry this might be a little too much information but Im running out of ideas here. This new insurance company sucks and I think they only cover the pill. Grrrr.....
On a good note I started Zumba today! Woohoo bye bye bulge! Im only 5 2" so my goal wight is 110. I think it is feasible. Oh and when I went to Walla Walla this weekend, one of my cousins friends, who is soooooo hott by the way, wrote me on fb today and gave me his number and he said he had a great time and I need to come visit again :) hehehe so I grabbed what little bit of courage I have and wrote him back and I gave him my number. Not that Im getting my hopes up since he lives two and a half hours away, long distance things never work Im sure. But oh well, no harm in chatting it up over texts and facebook :)

Awesome weekend!!!!!

Saturday I left for Walla Walla. I got to my cousins house and we drank a little and watched the UFC fights, which are boring by the way. Then we hit the town. It was a great time! A much needed break. When I got home today I watched the second half of the Super Bowl with my parents. Good Job Packers! I used to like the Steelers but I strongly dislike that Ben dude! I finally got home around 8 and the rude texts started coming. Caleb was with his dad this weekend and he was supposed to have him Saturday night and Sunday night. Well, John obviously cant handle a crying child. Caleb was crying for me and John being the compassionate person that he is, told me to come get my son. So at 9pm Im driving all the way on the other side of Post Falls to pick up my baby. My poor baby says to me, Mommy I was crying and John just left me. Part of me wanted to find him and kick his ass and the other part of me wanted to laugh because he called him John, not dad. HAHA  So I picked Caleb up and John's wife says, sorry, he is really tired and misses you. I wanted to say, No shit dumb ass! Its 9 at night. Duh he is tired! Then we get in the car and Caleb says mommy I missed you. Talk about a total change in my mood. I love having him and Im really getting tired of sharing my son with someone who doesnt even care about him. He only takes Caleb because his wife tells him he should. I try not to dwell on them and let them get to me because that means that they won and I feel like I would be letting them control me. I really just want Caleb to have a good normal life. I dont think thats too much to want. Well I think its time to go lay in bed with my little man.

So much to say!

Ok so first off I want to say that this weekend is going to be so much fun!!!!!!!!! My son is going to his dad and stepmoms house Saturday and Sunday night so Im taking a road trip to Walla Walla to see my cousin :) Im super excited!

Today is my little brothers 23rd birthday! He is such a great brother. He has been through a lot in the last year and a half and I think he is finally figuring himself out which makes me so happy and proud of him. He just bought a house, has a great girlfriend, and a great job as a journeyman. He also let our little brother move in with him. Things are good :)

So Caleb, oh Caleb. haha. Ok so this morning I was putting him in his car seat to take him to my moms because I had to go to work. He said. "Mom, when Im 25 Im going to be the boss just like you." I said, "What makes you think Im the boss?" Caleb: "Because you tell me what to do all the time and you tell me I have to go to school." Me: "Well yes I guess I am the boss but I think your more like my best friend." Caleb: "Well best friends dont wake them up to go to school if they dont want to go." I just busted up laughing. He is smarter than I realize.
Another funny Caleb story. My mom was watching him today and she told me he was getting out of line and not listening so she gave him one swat on the butt. Caleb looked at her and said, Grandma thats rude to spank, my mom doesnt spank me! haha again I laughed hysterically!

My niece Maddisen, who is 6, has a gymnastics meet in Vancouver tomorrow. I wish I lived closer to her. This is her first year competing and she is doing great! Im so proud of her!

Gosh today was a good day and Im looking forward to the weekend. New adventures and Im loving my family more and more these days. Guess Im more appreciative the older I get. Gosh with this new Ashley maybe I will get the guts to ask the guy from church his name! hahahaha maybe :)

Good things

This week and weekend was full of good news. First, my sister called from Portland where my niece had her 2nd ever gymnastics meet. She placed first on the vault, 3rd on the bars, 5th on the floor and 6th on the beam. She got 4th all around out of 25 girls and she is only 6 years old :) So proud of her! Then on monday night my aunt, who lives in Seattle calls and asks if Caleb can be her ring bearer in her wedding this July! I was so excited that she wanted him in the wedding! Then of course I filled my taxes and realized that I can pay off all my bills with my tax return so that was a relief and my cousin is getting married in August! Im so happy for everyone in my family and feel so proud to be apart of their Journeys.
Oh and tonight(another Caleb story). I started putting Caleb to bed at 730 because he has a dentist appointment at 7 am. He is not a morning person by the way. He finally laid down at 815 and when I walked by his room at 9 he was reading a book and telling the story in his own words. It was so cute. How do I tell him to go to bed when he is reading?! I asked him to please put the book away and go to sleep because we have to wake up early and he said, "But mom Im getting smart." I told him he can get smart at school in the morning and he said,"Im already smart in school, I want to be smart at home." I just smiled and said good night. He is seriously the reason I wake up in the morning. I really need to write a journal of all the cute things Caleb says, I could publish it and be rich!!!!!! haha
