Happy Fathers Day

Happy Fathers Day to all the wonderful dads out there. Especially my own father, and my husband, wonderful father to Kaylin.
Kaylin made her daddy a stepping stone with her handprints in it. He won't get it until tomorrow since he is working today and we just made it today. I'm kinda behind on things. Woops.
Kaylin totally freaked out when I put her hands in the wet cement. Screaming the whole time and tears running down her face. Poor baby has such a mean mom. It was well worth it, and I cant wait to see what Casey says about it when he sees in in the morning.

I need to vent

So YEA! Our fence is finally being put up. But now we are having major drama with neighbors because of where our property lines really are as opposed to where people think they are. The 'weird' neighbors are okay about everything. The freaky man that does their yardwork actually mowed their lawn and not ours for once. The 'normal' and nice neighbors are kinda being butts about it though. Sorry. The guy who built the house they live in built an extra wide house on a not so wide lot. All the lots on our street are 60 ft wide and I swear the house next to ours is 40 ft wide. No kidding. Our normal neighbors have been mowing about 6 feet our our property since they moved in last year, even after we all measured the both properties to see where the lines really are. So now the posts are set and they are mad. The house they own is only like 6 or 7 ft from their property line. Ours is 14 ft from the propert line. We are having the fence put 6 inches or so INSIDE our line due to city regulations. They are throwing a fit because the posts are so close to their house. Well, too *%#^@(! bad that the guy who built the house built a house too big for the lot it's on!!!!!! They are saying there has to be 16 ft between houses due to city regulations. And there are about 21 or so feet between the houses. Sorry for your inconvenience, but I want my property that I am paying over 1 grand a month for back. I'll let you have a few feet but you can pay me some big bucks for it!!!

I feel better.

pampers deal at CVS

check out www.dealseekingmom.com for a STEAL on pampers starting tomorrow, June 7th at CVS. thanks Tara for the information on the sale.

My freakout

So Casey decided to inform me today that there is an extremely high chance of him being laid off because the City of Spfld is like some $9 MILLION dollars in deficit in the budget. So I'm totally freaking out about this because I NEED health insurance. I'm not so worried about the finances because I can work full time hours and bank some serious cash working per diem, but NOT a SINGLE insurance company is going to give me maternity coverage being pregnant. WTF will I do? Kaylin's birth was over $30,000 because she was a C Section and baby #2 will be the same. Where will I get that kind of money without health insurance??? We will lose EVERYTHING. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Please keep us in your prayers until our lovely mayor figures out what the heck he is doing with the budget.

Update on big girl bed

Well Kaylin has been in her new bed for over a week now and is doing great. She's sleeping later and later in the morning in her room and is almost back to sleeping until 7 30. Now if only I could sleep in with her. Unfortunately I have been up for work at 6 30 all week, so today (my day off) I was up at 6 30. Ugghh. Oh well, I can't have everything. At least she is in her own room FINALLY

Big girl bed

Kaylin's big girl bed was delivered on Tuesday. It's been a rough few days for us all since we got it. She doesn't like to go to sleep in it...she still wants to fall asleep in mommy & daddy's bed WITH mommy. I'm trying to do baby steps to get her used to falling asleep by herself in HER bed, NOT mine. I know with baby #2 he/she WILL NOT be in our bed and will cry it out even if I have to kick Casey out of the house to get him/her there. And I mean falling asleep on his/her own in his/her own bed.
I found the quilt I want for Kaylin's bed, I just have to be patient and wait for it to go on sale. Of course I couldn't find one at Target, or somewhere cheap. No, I had to fall in love with one from Pottery Barn. And of course when I found fell in love with it, it was on sale. But do you think it was on sale the next day when I showed it to Casey to get his approval. Oh, no, that would have been too easy and I refuse to pay full price AND shipping/handling costs to get it to my house. So here I sit waiting, patiently. And let me tell you, pregnant women DO NOT have much patience.
