Check yoself, before you wreck yoself...

Today started out like any normal day off, lazy. I decided to FINALLY go change my name on my Social Security Card from Skiles to Barnett, and be 100% legal. The office is out in Denton, about 30 minutes away, so I grabbed directions and headed out with Sawyer in tow. I managed to get myself majorly lost on the way there, less than an hour before the office closed. I would've been SO mad if I wouldn't have made it in there! At this point I had my older iPhone, which SUCKED, and wouldn't load the maps, so I couldn't get myself un-lost. I called Kerry, who was at work, and he couldn't talk, so I had to wait around for my phone to work. I finally got myself back on track, and come to find out, the office was right by the freakin' mall which I can EASILY find!! I made it to the office though, and went in and got helped right away. Did I mention that I had put this off for almost 2 years because of horror stories I'd heard about being there all day waiting in line? So there was my silver lining. We got the job done and were leaving, when someone hit me. Yeah, I was in my first ever car wreck. Not my fault by the way. I was FREAKING OUT though..the lady hit Sawyer's door. As if my first crash wasn't scary enough, she hit MY FREAKING BABY!!!! I was shaking, tried to shut my car off without putting it in park, and couldn't hardly focus enough to get his door open. Luckily my car was old and was still made out of metal, unlike the fiberglass crap now, so it didn't dent the door to the inside of the car, so he was 100% fine. Dude slept through it. SLEPT THROUGH A CAR WRECK. Wow. I was a crying mess though, called Kerry who rushed over from Grapevine (probably close to an hour's drive), and we left my car parked at the mall. The lady who hit me had a granddaughter close to my age, and a great grandson close to Sawyer's..she was sweet, but SHE FREAKING HIT MY CAR WITH MY BABY IN IT. It all worked out though, THANK YOU GOD!! Did I mention that God is soso good?? =]

My cute, reliable car.

My poor, poor car.

I think I can, I think I can...

This is where the posts are going to start getting a little sketchy, I stopped writing notes because Kerry said he was giving up on catching up the blog. Sad, sad day. A bunch of people started blogging after us though and they're still going, so I feel like I'd be letting people down if we stop. Not to mention, we write about/put up pictures of Sawyer, and that helps our out-of-towners stay in his loop. So today, we'll celebrate the fact that I decided to revive the blog for you, and that it's 2 days from my birthday. =D

I thought his little chicken legs were funny. ^.^

T.V. babysitter..oops. =/

Exorcist

Well this journal entry starts off with a fun gem that I jotted down: "Projectile vomit at 5 am." Pretty awesome if I do say so myself, and a good way to follow up the poopsplosion the day before. I fed Sawyer when he woke up, and we usually go back to bed, but I remember burping him, hearing a cough/choke, flipping him forward to beat his back, and then, "the burp". You know, the burp that hits RIGHT before you're about to hurl..scariest thing ever when it's not you. It's like a roman candle, unpredictable, and you don't want to be at the other end of it. =/ Me, being me, yelled for Kerry when it splatted all over the carpet. xD Man, my husband loves me! <-- Following that, I had written that he does school for fun, which makes him a weirdo. He does..he has chemistry books and a giant calculator that he'll pull out for something to do. I'll never understand what makes it enjoyable, but I guess that's where the phrase 'To each their own' came from. ;]

Mommy's smiley boy. =]

Playing with daddy's snow owl, Archimedes, that's bigger than his head..literally.

Poop Harbor

Today, March 21st, a date which will live in infamy..wait, that's not right. =P I woke up like normal, to Sawyer jabbering away in his crib. Like normal, I went in to get him, and I swear when I walked through the door to his room I heard the "reeet reeet reet" music from Psycho. He'd had a blowout and it was ALL OVER his bed. Sheets, sleep wedge, blanket, stuffed bear, mattress pad..everything. Funfunfunfun. He loves to play in his bed, but I don't like playing in his poop..just sayin'. When he got home from work though, Kerry made homemade chocolate cookies, so it mostly evened out. ;] Yes ladies, I got a man that cooks..good. =D

After all that poop, I kinda had him watch himself..I think I had something similar to radiation poisoning. =/

I still love this little boy though. =]

If both of us work, usually Sawyer will go to his baby sitter, Stephanie. (Different from our friend, Stephanie, by the way.) She'd promised to pick up a shift for a co-worker a couple weeks back, so she couldn't take him. I don't really know anyone here (sad, because I've lived here longer than Kerry), so Kerry asked some of his old co-workers, and came up with Suzanne. She quit Walmart to watch kids, so it was perfect. She came over to our house (Sawyer's first time at home with a sitter) and spent the day with him. I guess he didn't let her get much homework done, and peed a lot. Yup, sounds like my boy. Haha. We also got back the deposit from our old apartment. Out of probably close to $500, we got back $180. Wow, thanks. Kerry let me keep it though, so I'm now on the hunt for some normal jeans that fit. =] Weight wise I can fit into my pre-pregnancy pants, but surprise surprise, my hips are bigger. Sigh. I'm too freakin' tall for a lady evidently, so I can't find anything that fits. So, I'm still in maternity jeans. =[ Not totally bad though, they're super comfortable, and it kinda feels like wearing sweats all the time. ;]

New onesie from Aunt Nita and Uncle Tatum. I <3 turtles like mommy!

Umm, yeah..he'd just gotten a bath, and then drooled everywhere. Thanks guy, thanks.

Fruit salad, yummy yummy.

Today is my older sister, LeeAnn's, birthday. I think she went out to dinner with her husband, so I'm sure she had an awesome day..just wanted to give her a quick shoutout. =] Our main goal of the day was to go grocery shopping, as we'd reached the point where everything that's left in the cabinets/fridge would only get eating if there was an emergency..tuna, ramen noodles (those are always delicious though), cream corn, pickles, and maybe some stale chips. If I remember right we didn't go until late though, so it was even more of a beating than normal. And I'm sure we were hungry when we headed out, so we probably ended up getting more than we needed. The only thing worse than shopping on and empty stomach, is shopping on an empty stomach when you're pregnant. ;]

The boy got hungry, whaddya gonna do?

Sawyer is peekin' atcha.

Rock Chalk Jayhawk, Go KU!!

Stephanie got out of the hospital today, so we enjoyed some fettuccine at their house. Always a delicious meal, and the boys cooked it, so it was even better. =] We watched some basketball with dinner, and can I just say that my March Madness bracket freakin SUCKED?!? I'm usually awesome at it, and I pick based on my favorite teams, homestate loyalty, and how jazzy the team name sounds. Awesome criteria, I know. I had KU winning, obviously, (they lost, I know..shutup!) and then the other team I picked for the championship game got out in the second round I think. Crap! Oh well, there's always next year I guess. And I'll never stop repping KU, they're my homies! And really, if the president picks them you know you're good. ;]

Gotta start him out early with the gear. =]

A family that cheers together, is awesome. Yes, I made that up. ^.^
