Moving Time!

Well it finally happened. Reddin and I have sold our house and it looks like we are moving. We have passed the 10 day inspection period, so it is now time to pack, and hope everything goes as planned. We have to be out by November 28th, which leaves us about two weeks. I tried to start packing on Monday, but did not even know where to start, so hopefully I will get more accomplished today.

I think we are slowly going to be moving stuff to my brother's house (which is where we are going to be living until we find our own place). I am so grateful to have family and friends that are so willing to help. I think it is going to be fun living with my brother for Christmas. When we ask Payton if she wants to move in with Uncle Brian she always says, "Yes". I am sad to leave all my friends that live close, but I know this is the right thing to do for our family, and I plan to still visit this side of town often.

It is good to be home!

Payton and I got home on Halloween, and I think both of us were glad to be home. We had a great time on our trip, but we both really missed daddy. I also think I moved Payton around a little too much, which did not make her happy. We spend three night in Oakley Kansas, two nights in Denver, one night in Colorado Springs, and then another two nights in Denver. I always love getting to see my family, but by the end of the trip Payton was in such a bad mood I could not wait to get home. We did not a lot of fun stuff on our trip, and when I can get my computer to work again I will post pictures. We went through a corn maze, looked a pumpkins, went swimming in an indoor pool, went shopping, ate good food, and sat around a talked. Overall, we had a great time. I really do wish my extended family lived closer, but at least I get to see them a few times a year.

Tagged!

So for the first time every I have been tagged, thanks to Amberly. I think the rules are to post six things about yourself. I do not have a lot of time, because I am on vacation, but here it goes.

1. I love to travel, and I am currently visiting my family in Denver, and we are having a great time. Payton is really enjoying playing with my cousin's kids, but she misses her dad, and so do I.

2. I am a big Disney fan. I love Disneyland and Disneyworld. We just got back from Disneyland a few months ago and we are going to Disneyworld in a few months. I do not think I will ever get sick of going to Disneyland or Disneyworld (after all it is the happiest place on earth).

3. I do not like red meat, I am a chicken and turkey girl, but on this trip I have had fried chicken three days in a row and I am ready for a change.

4. I love to swim, I really wish I had a heated swimming pool in my backyard so I could swim year round. I also wish I lived closer to my gym so I could use that pool, but maybe someday.

5. I worry too much. I worry about everything and I wish I didn't but I think it is genetic. I think I would enjoy life a little bit more if I was not always worried that someone was going to get hurt.

6. I do not like to be alone. I enjoy peace and quite, but for the most part I try to avoid being home alone. I do not know why, but I always scare myself when I am home by myself (I know it is sad)

So Sad!!!

Payton and I did not have the greatest of days yesterday; in fact we have not had a very good week. We started potty training and she is doing good, but I think that change and maybe something in the water has put Payton in an unpleasant mood, which is something I struggle with. Anyway yesterday, we had several potty accidents, and several crying fits (she really did not want anything to do with me yesterday), and I just couldn't figure out what was wrong with her. Well Reddin knew I needed a break so he had his parents watch Payton so we could go to a movie. We had a good time and when we got back from our date, we got a good report. They said Payton was great, no accidents, and happy as could be (don't you just love when your kids are always better for other people). Anyways I decided just to mark it off as another day in hopes that the next one would be better, but on our way home Payton got sick (so sad). I felt so bad, that is probably why she had so many accidents and why she was in a bad mood, because she did not feel well. I felt horrible, I tried to clean her up the best that I could, but I just wanted to hold her. She slept through the night, but today she has a fever and just wants to cuddle. I am so glad that I am her mom. I know we have hard days, but they are worth it, especially on days like today, when all she wants is to be close to mom and dad.

So Cute

Yesterday morning when I went to get Payton out of bed, she decided that she had to give everything in her crib a kiss first. She kissed her new Ariel pillow, and then had to turn it over and kiss both Flounder and Sebastian. After that I took the pillow away and she proceeded to kiss the Winnie-the-pooh that is on her sheets. I thought it was so cute, but when I asked for my hug and kiss she refused. I guess I just cannot compete with all the Disney characters that accompany her to sleep.

Things I have come to accept

- I love sweets and potato chips way to much, which is probably why I am not losing any weight (not that I am really trying to, but it would be nice).
- My house will sell when it is suppose to
- My car is getting old , which is probably why it keeps breaking
- Payton is growing up way to fast, which is why I am thankful I get to stay home with her everyday
- I am always going to be tired in the morning, so I just need to deal with it and get out of bed.
- It is okay if everything does not go the way I want it to
- Money does not grow on tree, which is why I need to stick to my weekly budget.
- Heavenly father has a plan for me, if I do not know what it is yet.

Kids are so fun!

Today Payton was playing in her room, and after a while she came running out to show Reddin what she found. She said, "look daddy hand socks." Reddin turned to me and asked me it that is what I told her they were called and I said no, I promise she came up with that on her own. I am so proud of her, because she put them on all by herself and she came up with a pretty good name for them. Later I did tell her they were called gloves and she said, "oh", but continued to call them hand sock (I actually like the name). I am so grateful for Payton, because on a daily basis she makes me laugh, and proud, because she learns something new everyday. Also if I have not said it lately I really love being a mom it is the best job in the world.
