Kenna's Party

McKenna's birthday party is this Saturday at 5:30... so for those of you who REALLY want to come and party it up St. George/Dora style, come on over! It's at my house and Adam, Betsy and Max will be there, and so will cake and ice cream. :) We're having a fiesta, so there will be a pinata, empenadas, toquitos and games. Come shake your booty (as Kenna calls it), and get sick on sugar!
btw-if anyone has any ideas on what I should get for my soon to be 3 year old, I would really appreciate it. I have no clue!

Classes, classes... so many classes

I can tell you already that math, english and CSI are going to kick my butt. Even though Kundalini Yoga did kick my butt tonight (I did have to take some pain reliever when I got home), the professor is freaking awesome and she's making it fun. It's also nice knowing how to erase the world out of my mind for 2 hours once a week and only focus on myself. :) Then I have my Managing Stress class that's also once a week... TOTALLY looking forward to that one! Let's just say that I'm going to have to say goodbye to my social life for the next 3 months, and the only reason that mom and dad will be seeing me is because I'm rushing Kenna in and out of their home. Also, the only reason Lee will be seeing me is because he's helping me either with Kenna so I can do my homework, or he's helping with my homework. What a nice guy. BTW-we did make up. (just in case you're accidently out of the loop.) I know it's been on and off, on and off... but he knows that I'm not rushing anything because of it, and we're having fun. Besides, it's his turn to sit on the side lines and wait for me to have time for him. Mom agreed. :)

Total Anxiety

Okay... so, here's the thing: School starts next week, and I'm taking half hard classes and half easy classes. So you'd think that I'd be completely cool with the whole thing, right? Well... today I noticed that I'm already freaking out a little bit that it starts, and also that I have to take math all over again. Not to mention that I've already failed this math class and I have to take it all over again.. then I have to take an english class that doesn't even count towards my credit for graduating. Can we say, "totally lame"? Plus... this might sound like i'm a total girl, which I am, but I'm also not at all close to the weight that I wanted to be at before school started again. Sad, I know! Anyway.. I'll keep you all updated on how it goes, although I don't think I'll be on the computer nearly as much once it starts. All the homework that I'm going to have, and keeping after Kenna is already going to take up 19 hours out of my day.
Anxiety stricken!!

NO MORE DIAPERS!

So, can you tell that I'm excited? For the past 3 days, McKenna has worn panties, and only has had 2 accidents. All day today, even at work and all through Costco, she didn't make one mistake!! It's so nice to say, "do you need to use the potty?" before we go anywhere, instead of having to check her diaper and changing it if it's wet. I can hear mom cheering because when school starts next week, she won't need to change Kenna's diapers anymore!!

Karen, you jealous? :)

Singing in the Rain... but not really

Today it stormed, and it was awesome! It was raining, lightning and thundering and it smelled so good! Kenna and I were outside and then Kaysha's kids came over and wanted us to go to their house and hang out. So we stayed outside for at least an hour just talking and enjoying the quiet before the school phaze starts up next week.

Major Ventage

I know everyone has bad days, bad weekends, or bad weeks... and it's kinda been that way for me this past week. Can I just say, boys are totally lame. I'm seriously thinking that I'm just not meant to be with anyone, and I'm accepting that I just might not get married. It's not worth the heartache, the frustration, the time or the energy to put everything you have into a relationship that you thought was going great for the most part, and then all of a sudden, the person that's in the relationship with you is scared of any type of commitment, and breaks up with you and says, "let's keep dating with out the b/f, g/f title". Excuse me? I just wasted 7 months and hundreds of kisses on someone who just wants to "date" and keep it at that? No thank you. I've been through enough these past 4 years to keep taking steps that just lead backward. I'm done. Guys are lame.
Period.
The End.

Kenna's Nose

The nurse asked if the teddy needed a hat too, and Kenna said yes.
Being such a big girl while waiting for the doctor.
After a 2 hour nap, she came and laid on the couch with me, and then passed out again!
Isn't she cute?

McKenna and I went to the surgical center this morning at 6:30 so that she could get her nose fixed so that it would stop causing nose bleeds. We went to the Dr. yesterday, which was really an appt. for me, and near the end of it, it turned towards Kenna. I went in to get my ears checked because I've had ear infections in both ears for nearly a year and 1/2, and my normal doctor didn't really know what to do for me, so it seemed. So I went to an ear, nose & throat doctor to get checked.. and he gave me some things to help. I then asked him a question that I thought I would get a simple answer for and then be out the door, but after 20 minutes of him checking McKenna's nose and me filling out paper work, we had set an appt. for her for the next morning to get her nose bleeding nostrils fixed. :( I was pretty much a nervous reck the rest of the day! Mostly just because they had to put her under in order to do the procedure.

Anyway, after an hour and 1/2, she was a little groggy from waking up and we were sent home. (Kenna was going to Grandma's and after dropping her off, I was headed to work.) The doctor told me ahead of time what they do, and he said that normally they'll only find one blood vessel that causes the nose bleeds, or often times they won't find any. They found 5 in hers. Needless to say, the nurses and the doctor all said that she set the bar for the other patients for that day because she did such a good job.

That's my girl!
