Go Astro's

So for family night we went to an Astros game here at the Minute Maid stadium. We bought our tickets from a scalper on the street we paid $10 for tickets right behind first and 11 rows up.
We even ended up on the big screen they caught me doing a really dumb face. Go me!!!
Jessica was just jabbering her little head off and not watching the game when the Astros scored sending the crowd of 30,000 into an uproar. Well Jessica fell out of her chair and Eric and I were usless to help her we were laughing to hard.
Our punishment she has been singing take me out to the ball game all day.

Funny things kids say

Eric was planning a day out with Jessica and he said "what movie do you want to see?" her response, " we just can't see the one about the sock!" Eric "about the sock?" Jessica responds "yeah, because Ivelin (our neighbor) is taking me to that one" I jump in " Jessica do you mean Pippy Long Stocking?" Jessica responds "yeah the one about the sock"
Hey whatever so long as she is happy.
One day Jessica was showing us all that she has learned at school. Standing very tall she points to her left and says that is my left (insert appropiate parental approval aka good job....) and this is my right (again appropiate parental approval).
Then very seriously she adds and this is my south pointing behind her. Hey we thought it was funny.

Family Day

Miniture golfing in the dark. It was really fun even though Eric tried to use Jessica as a T. Hey it was dark

6:30 am comes early

It turns out that none of us love 6:30. I make breakfast and jessica's lunch while they try to get ready. Aren't they cute???

YES!!! I AM that mom!!!

You know what Mom I mean the one who video taped the whole morning. I from waking her up to leaving her in her classroom. You will notice I took a few pictures. Did I cry yes for a minute it's just that she is all that I have and she is growing up so I called my Mom at 7 am her time and we cried together. I had to keep Eric from going to get her too early he was sure that she wasn't having any fun and that we should pull her out of school right away. She came home I bought her flowers and then we all went swimming. I feel like I never see her I drop her off before 8 and pick her up at 3 but I leave for work again by 4 or 5 and then it is time for her to go to bed. Wow this is long anyway I hope everyone is doing well

Her classroom There they go!!

Fashion Icon

Isn't she cute but notice she is missing another tooth We are so proud

First day of School

She is on her way to graduating!!! Think, she won't stop now until she graduates, that my friends is a big deal!!!
Like the uniform?? She was nervous and frankly so was I.. We just finished week 2 and she still likes it so all must be well.

Little Girls Grow Up

So it is official Jessica starts kindergarten tomorrow. Eric gave her a fathers blessing. She can't even think about school it makes her cry she also can't seem to remember her name when some one asks.
As it turns out she is not in the same class as her little friend which was a bit of a stresser. She doesn't know her address and she did in CT she mixes up our phone numbers so she worries that she couldn't find us, if she needed to. I keep telling her that we won't lose her but she is pretty scared about it all.
School starts at 7:50 AM and gets out at 3:00 PM.
I can't tell you how many stores we went to looking for the perfect lunch box. Since she is going to wear a uniform her lunch box and backpack have to be just so cool.

My brother is here kicking it with us.
He just had an interview with LA Fitness for a sales and or management postion. If he chooses to take it he will be living here with us poor soul..
I have to run to work

Zoom Zoom

This really is my new car. Can you believe it???? I will be sweating a lot to pay for it but oddly enough I am ok with that. Come visit I will take you for a ride:)

While awaiting the arrival of our furniture that was en-route via St. Petersburg, we spent a couple of days in Galveston. Galveston is Texas version of happiest place on earth, and approx 25 minute drive from Houston. There are miles of sandy white skinny beaches (read into that however you want), and lots of restaurants to entertain those of us who are not. There is also cruise ships, old towns, museums, and sharks in the free as well as captivity. Well, before we jumped in the gulf of Mexico as live bait, we decided to take a closer look at our predators. Moody Gardens is a fun place to check out a tropical rainforest, and entertaining fish tanks. For dinner we went to RainForest Cafe', which is located on the beachwalk in Galveston. For those who would like to visit us (or if you want to come unbeknown), make Galveston a must see on your trip.

Jessicas New Friend...

Jessica has spent much time in the pool. Our apartment complex does not have a lot of children. However, Morgan happens to be Jessicas age, and they will both start kindergarten at the same school.
By the way, the previous picture was taken on the 4th of July. It was raining, and we went to the Astrodome, where the worlds largest indoor carneval was hosted.

Still alive and well

Things are going wonderful!! I did an official Cowgirl Up!! My furniture is here finaly!!!
I am working at LA Fitness and a private pilates studio and LA is considering me for the aerobics coordinator position. That means that I would not only get paid for each class but I would also get a salary. Yeah me!!! clap clap clap
Right now I teach 7 classes a week. But I have to take a bunch too to qualify to be a coordinator I will be attending or teaching 17 classes a week holy crap that is a lot of sweat.
Eric and Jessica spend a lot of time at the pool and now it looks like Eric going to get job that would be fun
I will post pictures soon

Houston we have landed

In case you were wondering I may never quit using NASA terms. Heck I LIVE in houston.
Well after a long and prblem filled flight we made it. I am trying to be totally up beat and happy but I am camping in my apartment.
Our stuff hasn't even left new jersey yet. So it is paper everything no dressers and that is a little rough.
To add insult to injury Jessicas tooth started to hurt last night meaning we only have a day or two to qualify for state aid and get her to a dentist. We aren't holding our breath.
I have to wonder with all of the complications did we choose the wrong place to move too. Please I need to have friendly advice.
This my friends is me falling apart.

Houston prepare for an invasion

Jessica and I are flying out tomorow. We leave at 8 am to get to the airport for our 1:34pm flight. So the move will finally begin!!

Goodbye Alley

If you read my previous posts you know that Alley wasn't doing very well here. She continued to throw up no matter what I tried. She was happy outside though, in the apartment she was scared a lot, but she was a different cat outside. She loved it when she wasn't sick. She was loosing her hair and I just couldn't make her stay any longer for my sake. So I took her down to the vet to see what they thought and that is when I put her down. I mean I am the one that held her and preped her (I used to work for the vet). I couldn't do the shot I was an emotional wreck as it was.
Probly the hardest thing I have had to do in a long time. I have never had to make the call I always went a long when my parents did.

It's a BABY TOOTH

So my darling little star of a daughter has some serious oral trouble. First we find out she has 7 count them 7 cavities (somebody wasn't brushing very well) That was going to cost us a whopping $484.oo. Hell-o !!
Then they get in there to find out that she actually needs a root canal. That will cost well lets add it up
971.99 - surgical center
500-600 - anastesiologist
383.00 - dentist
484.00 - other cavities
=
--------------------
What the #$%@!!!$%^( #$#$%^&*($
Then to beat all when her lip was asleep she bit it. I mean Hard. Almost clear through. Guess what happened next? Wait for it,..... yes folks it is now INFECTED!!!
So why not pull it?? My thoughts exactly. The permanent tooth under it wont show up until she is 12, we need to save room for the real one coming in.
Heaven help us.

GOOD &@!!%^**

Ok so I can swear on my own freaking blog. It took me for freaking ever to figure out that my brother in law changed my password too.
So now I have a ton to catch up on.
We went to Salt Lake and saw Becca and Andy, Macy and Kate played with Jessica and they all had a good time. We were actually there for eric's concert which was really good not that I am byassed. I was thrilled to think that maybe Kate remembered me.
So sad news turns out that I am the worst person that have a pet. I brought Alley you know my cat with no teeth and too many toes and yup she is deaf.
I was affraid that the flight and change might be to much for her and it seems that might be the case. No matter what I feed her she throws up all of the time she is losing her hair in clumps. I am trying to give her pepcid because that is what worked in CT but so far it isn't working. But when she isn't pucking she really seems to enjoy her time outside. Even though she won't walk on the grass. She sleeps on the hoods of my parents cars. She also pucks there OOPS. I will take her into a vet before I head to TX but I will not be bringing Jessica just in case the vet isn't going to say this is totaly normal.

I have my blog back

I was helping my brother in law set up a blog and some how combined the two but they are seperate now.
