Garage Sale Day

Today we had our Garage sale at Katie's!
Zander hung out with my mom for 6 whole hours (thats the longest I've been away from him since Micah and I's wedding)!
Then we went to Waterbabies together, all I can say is I'm pooped.
Sort of worried about bringing Zander to the sale tommarow, I don't want him to run around, but I'm thinking I'll stick him in one of Katie's playpens and see how long that lasts!lol
Chiropractor appt tommarow! I am sooooo needing that

Is it Friday yet??

Zander had a doctor appt today. He's 17lbs and 28 1/2 inches tall. He's doing great (well child check-up)!
I offically HATE TEXT MESSAGES! lol enough said about that I'm not going to bother with the story. My cell phone is a pile. Debating if its worth it to drive all the way home to just get my spare phone(I have the tuck because my car is a pile and the truck is a gas suck). This one is only working if I have it on Speakerphone!AGGGH!
Garage Sale day is tommarow! Should be exciting. hoping to get rid of a bunch of stuff! I just want my stuff gone!lol! Thinking we'll just stay at my parents' house (again) tonite.
Its almost been a week since I've cut myself off for 2 weeks from Facebook, and its going good. I don't miss it as much as I thought I would. Really! And its amazing how much more time I've spent with Zander at my parents while I'm a thier house. Facebook can really be a time suck!
Zander is outside with his Grandpa now, he's starting to be a Grandpa's boy, its really cute.
The first thing he said when we woke up this morning was "Boppa" (thats what he calls my dad).
I should go, just got back from getting stuff to make homemade taco's for supper

Just another Manic Monday

Zander and I went to Waterbabies this morning-
then late this afternoon we went to Katie's to help set up for our Garage Sale on Wednesday! I think its all set up now! It was kinda fun-to hang out. Zander played with the older kids and now he is pooped out sleeping in his carseat (I didn't want to wake him up) Zander lost his camo hat though-but i'm sure we'll find it. Anyone who reads this should come to our sale (hmm I'm not sure is ANYONE reads this)
But its this Wednesday 8am-7pm at my friend Katie Simmons' house on Tupper Rd. All kinds of stuff from Baby Stuff, Kids Clothes,a Generator, Ice Augers, A boat motor, Duck decoys, Carseats, Strollers, and lots more!
I guess my brother got a house-when I got back to my parents' house tonite he had already been here and taken a bunch of stuff. I wonder when he'll bother to tell me. lol...never.
Well I think I should try to take a shower before my son wakes up because I am filthy dirty!
Oh-Micah's New Job-still waiting for the DOT Background test to come back,

Childrens Fair

Micah and I took Zander to the Children's Fair in Grand Rapids today!
It was pretty fun. Micah got a bit cranky with all the people and Zander got a bit fussy after we did lead testing but overall it was fun and I hope we will go again next year. Maybe we'll skip the Pancake Breakfast next year though-that was a super long line.
I took cute pics so I'll post them soon.
Now for the rest of the day we're at my parents'-my dad is suppose to have a fish fry and then we're goona go the the YMCA for open swim.
Getting more excited about Micah getting his new job!
We're just waiting for his drug test (which there is NO WORRIES there),
and for his DOT Background test (which will come back fine too), so we just gotta wait!
Looking forward to being a normal family where I'll feel like I'll have my hubby home during the week

Thursday :)

Good News-its looking like Micah may be getting a different/better job where he'll actually be home every night! Yay! We should know more Friday!
I got an e-mail today that kind of ticked me off, about Poor Cale (my brother), I am so sick of his drama!  He's so into his own life these days its annoying so I offically give up calling him, he can call me when he wants something (whats new thats the only time he talks). Enough about that-its getting so old.
Had a wonderful time Garage Saling with my mom and Zander yesterday, and Garage Saling with my Mom, Dad and Zander today!
Made Enchiladas for lunch, yummy!
Zander is playing outside in the Garden with his Grandpa! I never dreamed he'd be such a good Grandpa. Zander is lucky to have him in his life!
Micah comes home tonite! Yay! Haven't seen him since 2am Monday, this working out of town is getting really old too, so I am praying he will offically get this new job! And I think he'd really like it!
Its been 24 hours since I've been on Facebook and already I'm getting more E-mail and Phone calls and Text messages (I like the phone calls better! lol).

2 weeks off

Seems like since I've been on Facebook, a lot of Family and Friends rarely call or even e-mail me. Everything is through facebook, and it feels like I've lost a lot of real contact with people. Its sort of annoying to tell you the truth. I don't have the internet at home so it is annoying to have to Check Facebook whenever I talk to them and they are like-look on facebook. It can be a good thing to stay in touch with people, however it feels like a lot of my friends are more of online only friends-and that bugs me too. So I have decided to take a couple weeks off of facebook-plus I'll have more time with Zander and my parents when I'm at thier house instead of being online checking out what everyone else is doing!
So if people want to contact me they can call, e-mail me or even send me some good ol snail mail!
Hopefully I won't get more text messages because personally, I hate text conversations. If you need to send 1 text to tell me something-fine-otherwise pick up the damn phone and call. Its much easier to talk on the phone when you have a toddler than it is to text!
If your not a phone person-come over!
I havent had a friend or any family come visit me at my house since January!
Yep-thats a long time, a couple of Micah's friends and his dad have come but still-I don't want my only friends to be online so I"m doing this as a trial. I'm not going to delete my Facebook account, but I'd like it to be something I check occasionally!
