So, where do I start? I can't even remember when I last posted, so I had to take a look. Seems I've been mia for 5 days. So since Wednesday night.
I started getting sick Thursday afternoon, then I had business take over, so that of course comes first. Friday night was our marriage group/seminar at our church, Saturday I was SWAMPED all day at work, Sunday I was swamped, and today OH man was a swamped day. =)
So, lets go ALL the way back to Thursday and recant what I can remember, which may not be much. I am sick so that seems to jar my memory. Plus I've been told I don't pay attention when I'm sick and can be quite demanding and not so loving. =(
Thursday: All I can remember about Thursday is Jayden started some thing new. He started moving his hands in the crawling motions! YAY! So proud of him. Very shortly he will be crawling full speed and force ahead. I'm excited about this! I just KNOW when he figures this whole independence freedom thing out on his own that he will be so much more happier with the whole independence thing. It makes me sad though, because he might not want to snuggle and cuddle with his mama! I want him to snuggle and cuddle with me as long as possible!
Friday was pretty good. Jayden and I all played all day long. He has become quite the jibber jabber. He just TALKS and talks and talks. Well in baby talk that is. lol. It's so cute. I keep waiting for him to say mama again. I still swear he said mama, and Scott still things he said mama also.
Friday night Scott and I had our first night at the 8 week Marriage Group/Seminar. I was SO excited to go! I had totally different thoughts about it, but it turns out it is SO much more than we had anticipated. We learned about PINK and BLUE. lol. If you want to know what I'm talking about check out this youtube clip, it's on Love and Respect.

All in all it was a good night.
Saturday, well, Saturday's are my work heavy days. I worked ALL day. Even when I got home from work, I had to work on my business. I finished some marketing things.
I then went on to finish next weeks homework. I LOVE being a week ahead in homework. Makes it SO much easier. I'm not stressing to get things done.
Sunday, well We went to church as usual. I can't say how PHENOMENAL church was on Sunday. I wish that I could broadcast the sermons here for ya'll.
It's amazing knowing that when I get to Heaven, that all the questions I have, will no longer be questions. I will know all I need to know when I get there! I will have NO more questions! How amazing is that?!!!!!!
I wish I could go into detail about the sermon, however, I don't have my notes, and I don't want to mess it up. My head is still not right with all the antibiotics and the pain meds, and the steroids I was given.
If you are interested just ask me and I will give you the info.
Anyways, Onto today.
I had a pregnancy photo shoot for Rebbecca and Simon EARLY this morning. We met at the Estrella Mountains park to get a nice early sunrise photo shoot for the sweet couple. =) It was AMAZING the lighting, and all. The wind was a tad annoying. But it actually worked semi in our favor. The shots were AMAZING! I can't wait to share!
Then I spent the rest of the day at my college. I had to finish up financial aid info for next semester, I had to delegate if I wanted them to hold the remaining of my financial aid for this past school year, roll it over to the 2011-2012 school year, or if I wanted them to cut me a check. Then I had to take some tests, SUCKED, but they actually got rescheduled until Wednesday. Then I had to finalize my schedule for summer semester. I started to finalize things for the fall semester, and needed to talk to my academic advisor. Well, apparently Mondays are the day they go to meetings. So I guess I will save talking to my advisor until Wednesday, unless of course he choses to call me back after the phone message I sent him.
I put my books on hold, so that financial aid can pay for them. We ran to Walmart to pick up some school supplies. Scott found the shirt that he has been wanting in his size. The Jesse James ones, they look a lot like the dickie Shirts. Well, he bought a blue on on Saturday. He found a black one today at Walmart, and was all excited because it was in his size and only 9 bucks. We get up to the checkout counter to check out and they wouldn't sale him the shirt. Something about clearance items being removed from the shelves can't be sold after so many days. Well, they should be a little more UP on it with removing discontinued items from the shelfs.It's not fair to the consumer to find something and only get to check out and find out they can't buy it. This is actually the third time it has happened to us. The other items in the past were a pregnancy test, no big deal we just got a different type, and a pair of shorts for Jayden. Oh well, we just got a different pair. But when it happened to Scott, and seeing how disappointed he was, I opted to try and talk to the manager.
We had to wait like a MILLION years for her to finally mosey herself over, she wouldn't even listen to us, all she did was repeat what the other lady had said. This made me so frustrated. I told her to shut up for a moment. That Scott and I were adults. That she as the retailer had an OBLIGATION to hear us out, BEFORE she blabbed on. She needed to care and commit to us. I told her that her floor manager and herself had been very unprofessional and had terrible customer service. The cashier however, excellent customer service. The poor girl tried so hard to get it to be sold. The lady FINALLY apologized and listened to us. I told her what was going on, and that we had JUST purchased that SAME shirt in a different color at another walmart on Saturday. She again said she couldn't sale it to us. Without explanations or anything.
So then, I checked somethings out online. It turns out the lady we spoke to was simply another floor manager. I got a hold of the ACTUAL store manager, Happy Hollinsworth. I spoke to him for nearly a half hour. I explained to him what was going on, what his incompetent employees did, I told him how they had terrible customer service skills, and that I was displeased that such uncaring individuals could be managers. He listened to me very closely, he acknowledged that the way we were treated was not acceptable.
In the end, he apologized to us. He gave us a 50 dollar gift certificate to Walmart to spend as we see fit for the troubles and issues. He will be speaking to the two "managers" for their nonprofessional attitudes and activities.. He explained to us what the deal was with the shirt. Turns out it's NOT being discontinued. It's being temporarily recalled by the company because of some dye issues. They are making it better, and the company expects to have those shirts back out on the market in about a month. Scott and I would have been plenty satisfied hearing that from one of the floor managers, if they had told us that in a more professional manner.
In any case, we came home, I got to work on some school stuff and homework. Just trying to stay ahead of the curve. Then we played with baby boy. Man he ATE a LOT tonight!!!! OMG! What a little piggy I have.
OH, OMG! I forgot to tell you! You will NOT believe how we found Jayden this morning when we woke up. I went downstairs to start my coffee, and start my daily routine. Scott had gotten up to use the restroom.
I walk in to see Jayden standing up in his crib, hands holding on to the top rails, and gnawing away on his top rails. lol.
I call to Scott and I say: "You need to come see what your son is doing."
He walks in to see him up in his crib. Jayden got excited to see Daddy walk in, and when Scott laughed it startled him, and he ended up letting go and falling sort of backwards/sidewards into his stuff animals.
It was just too funny and priceless. =) I'm SURE glad that I lowed his crib,well had hubby lower it.
Anyways, got news on my mom today. It's not looking good. At least this is what I was told. I'm sort of upset about it all right now, some family members is saying she is lying and making it all up, and no ones stories match up. I honestly do not know who to believe. I know she is sick, I know it is cancer, I've seen and heard it with my own eyes and ears. This I know is truth. I have spoken to her doctors. Now either SHE or other people are lying to me on the exact extent of the severeness. Either way it makes me mad. I know my mother is going through a lot emotionally, but it doesn't make it easier thinking I'm being lied to. It makes me look like a fool, because I'm upset over something that may or may not be true.
I have tried to contact my mother to confront her, and of course, she never answers her phone. So I just don't know what to think right now. I'm waiting for someone I can trust to tell me the truth. I may be waiting a long time.
I just can't live in limbo, or be in complete pain and on edge that my mom might or might not be dying. Yes I know it's cancer, I know she is dying, just not how severe or how fast she is dying.
Anyways, I don't want to think or talk any more about that.
I'm actually quite tired, and my meds are kicking in, so I will talk to ya'll later. Goodnight.
