Updates

Just thought I would post a quick synopsis of the happenings in our neck of the woods. :-)

Eston has been working non-stop, to the point of excessive. They are so short-handed...but thankfully 3 more people have been hired so everybody should be getting some relief. I've been busy taking care of Will almost by myself and it's exhausting but I love being home with him instead of working. He's getting SO BIG! At his appointment a couple weeks ago, he weighed 16 lbs and measured 26 1/2 inches long. He's working so hard on sitting up. It's so funny to watch. Sadly, he's still trying to roll onto his stomach....in his sleep. It's waking him up! Not fun! But he's getting there!

We've also been making plans to do some remodeling. I had an idea about a new pantry that will be AWESOME! We just need the time to get it done! The only thing that isn't fun right now is that we have to replace our a/c. *SIGH* Money out the window but it has to be done. And of course...during the hottest part of the year. :-) Life happens!

I've had a few people requesting diaper cakes and baby mums! I'm looking forward to make some more beautiful items. I really need to start charging lol.

Vacation soon!!! September is going to be here before we know it! I am so excited about going to Tennessee! :-D A week in the mountains is just what I need! :-) Maybe next year it'll be the beach... Hmm...

That's about all for now! :-)

Diaper Cakes

Diaper cakes!! The one with lady bugs is the one I made last night for my friend Tara. There are several pictures of this one to show the detail. The second cake is the one I made for my friend Amber last August. That was the first one I made!

What a Week...

This has been a very long and hard week. I'm sick like crazy...thank you allergies...but the only benefit is that I no longer have tonsils to make it worse. So I'm managing but it sure makes taking care of a teething baby even harder! Will is a bit sick too but apparently not enough for the pediatrician to think he needs to be seen. I can't say that I'm too pleased with this doctor. I'm not being a paranoid parent...I know what chest and sinus congestion sounds like! He's sick...that's all there is to it. So tomorrow, I'm back to calling around for an opening with any doctor to get Will some medicine. This is one of those times when you just want to pull your hair out. Thankfully Will is a very happy baby...so when he's fussy it's nothing that can't be handled.

So between Will and I both being sick...and him teething, it's been for a long week. But we were still able to go to Target to get the weekly dose of diapers, formula, and pet food. Will sat up in the shopping cart for the first time!

He's getting so big! Next time I'll remember to take the shopping cart cover that I have for him. this was just a trial run because he was getting fidgety in the car seat. He's almost mastered rolling over...and soon, he'll be sitting up. I'm just looking forward to him holding his bottle. That will really help me out!

Don't you hate it when you have to wait on people? I do. Especially when they say "I'll be over on Tuesday at 5:30," then it's Tuesday...about 6:30...and they finally call and say that they forgot... Yeah...this really irritates me. This has happened to me all week by the same person, 4 days in a row. That just really ruined my week because I made the stupid mistake of waiting around on this person. *Sigh* Never again. It feels like I've wasted this whole week.

On the other hand, I'm busy trying to figure out the student loan process. I have no idea exactly where to start. But sadly, I need the loans to finish my degree! I just can't keep paying out of pocket. UT Tyler isn't exactly expensive, but it's not cheap. I want to take as many online classes as I can though...because right now, I don't want to be too far away from home.

So that's what is going on in the Parson household this week. Mom is staying with us tomorrow night and we're doing some shopping and getting pedicures on Tuesday! Can't wait!
