2007 ened and 2008 began with my life just in a mess. I felt like I was just going thru the motions trying to hold it all together. I can now say as today I can finally say the fog has lifted and things are about 5000% better.
Now my main problem is the upstairs neighbors from hell. They have 2 little boys who they allow to run nonstop untill 11 pm some nights. I tried talking the wife and all I got was this blank stare from her while the 2 boys wrestled behind her. I filed a complaint with the office and the husband lied and said that the boys are in bed by 9 pm. Tonight I had to call security on them for loud music. I got tired of waiting for a call back and jsut beat on the ceiling. Even Holli is complaining and wants me to go to the office to complain again.
Part of me wants to be an adult and work the the apartment staff to solve this problem. Theo ther part of me wants to go thru the apartment beating on my celing with a broom so they can get a taste of their own medicine. I really need to look into renting a townhome or house in the fall.
Other than that Holli suppose to be staying with my Mom for 3 days. My Mom usually flakes out on me so I am waiting for the call when she tells me she is sick and can't do it or she keeps Holli on Sunday and asks me to pick her up on Monday. My Dad wanted her this week also, but I did not feel like driving to Itasca in the middle of the week to pick her up. Now if I could get her Dad to get his head out of his ass and be a part of her life.
Well that's about it for now.
living life one fabulous day at a time!

2007 Update - October
Hello I am updating from the past year and then hope to move on to regular posts at the end of each month
Well it’s officially fall, but not really here in Texas. We are having some cool morning, but the afternoons are still in the low 80’s My daughter wore long sleeves and a coat to school this morning, but will need shorts when she gets home.
I am a little behind in updates so here it goes. I will have to add pictures later. My digital camera has decided to go kaput so I am doing old school and now have to have pictures developed and loaded to a CD. The one thing that I am actually in the 21st century about and it has died.

Holli had her dance performance. She is in a pre-intermediate class and I can really see how much she has learned from her beginners class. I also got to see the competitive, perfectionist side in her even more. She got an answer wrong when Miss Jasmine asked her a question so after that she was bound and determined to get every answer and show each step the rest of the class.

Fall Carnival at her school. It was small and personable. Holli had a great time because she got to wear her official Cinderella costume and not last year’s Tinkerbell costume she had to wear to school earlier. She loved the bounce house the best. I did not think she would ever leave so I gave her tickets to someone else

We had a Fall Carnival at our apartment complex and I won a cake. They tried to give me the monstrosity of a cake. It was a large jack o latern, but I passed on it and got a little loaf cake. We had a great time. The evening was marred by vandals who decided to slash tires in our area. Thank God my tires were not one of the cars, but I feel so sorry for the others. Some people had all 4 tires slashed on their cars.

Princess Cinderella officially reigned in our home. She wore her costume to school and they visited a nursing home that morning and the evening we went to the carnival at Prestonwood Church – OMG that is a big church. I did not realize that it actually cost money, I am so glad I brought some money. I bought a book of tickets and had a blast.
Holli did the bounce house and we rode the train together, but her most fun was getting to join the kids on stage from PCA and sing the closing song to High School Musical 2 All for one something… She loved being on stage and afterwards I could not get her to do anything else. She wanted to hang out around the stage in case she got to go back up there. She is also so sweet to the little ones. I know she wants a little sister so whenever she sees a little girl around 2-3 she takes extra time to talk to them. She even gets down to their level and talks to them. One of the Moms at the Carnival told me she was willing to rent her daughter out if I wanted to take her home. Lol. We left the carnival before the crowds started to appear and grabbed some Chick Fil A. We were sitting on the couch eating and Holli lays her head on my shoulder and goes Mommy I had so much fun tonight. Thank you for taking me to the Festival. I love you. That was so sweet. All I could think was That’s why I keep you around little girl.

The Best Weekend
I spent this weekend with two of my very dear friends. I met them on my Mommy Board and have known them for over year. Aisha is such a sweetie and the first time I met her I felt like I had known her for years. Kim and I have gotten closer now that she lives so close to me and not another state.
I spent the night with Kim so we could head out early. We had such a good time chatting the night away. We then loaded up the kids in her van, thank God for the in car DVD player. Holli was actually a little quiet until Kim's son wanted to watch Spiderman and then she woke and decided to chat away.
Kim and I drove to Houston for Aisha's daughter's 5th birthday party. After the party we went to Aisha house and chatted away and then Aisha made us Paula Deens' BBQ meatloaf and Mashed Potatos. That food was Slap yo Mama Good. We then spent the night and woke up the the most wonderful breakfast complete with Oprah's favorite preserves, Baby Norah was sitting at the table with us and yelling as we each buttered up our biscuits. I told Aisha, Norah is telling you she wants a biscuit. Aisha finally relented and gave her part of hers and Norah gave her the biggest smile and looking like - That's what I'm talking about.
The kiddos had such a great time playing together. Aisha said that the Diva should be in management but I think that was her nice way of say Holli is a tad bit bossy. She kept going Kid's after we eat dinner, we are going to play a game and then we are going to watch a movie etc
Aisha husband is the best. I he is so funny and they make such a terrific team.
We got home around 9pm and Holli and I were so tired. We immediatley crash. After sleeping with me for 2 nights in a row I heard little footsteps heading my way and getting into bed with me. Now I have to think of a new bribe to get her back into her bed, but it was so worth it to spend time with Kim and Aisha.
