Elyse Post

Just a quick post about Elyse! Things Elyse does.. She says a few "real" words. She calls me momma. She says dadda, baba, YEAH, and she says num num. It's adorable when she says num num because she associates it with food. So, when she is eating she sits there and says num num over and over again. She claps her hands and waves bye bye, only getting her to wave is impossible at times. She has discovered how to throw a real temper tantrum!! I mean, she flings herself back, stiffens up like a board, kicks her legs, and makes tight fists while screaming! She is adorable, but her tantrums ARE NOT! Gotta love this age... She does not crawl, or walk, or stand... She flat out refuses to. I've been meaning to take her to the doctor for these issues. She is almost 14 months old and just rolls around on the floor and sits. I'm not sure if it's a delay,  or if it's because she is plain ol' STUBBORN! It could be both, I don't know, but it is something that I feel needs to be addressed. I just completely HATE taking my kids to the doctor. We are so behind on shots, my baby is still like a seven month old. I need to go in! It feels so wierd that Elyse isn't into everything yet. I'm not complaing, but it's weird to me. She is such a sweet little girl! Is it creepy that I love watching her sleep when I can't? It's not just her, I did it with all the boy's, too. She's just the only one I can see thanks to video monitors :) I am thankful everyday that I was blessed with the best sons and daughter in the whole world! 

Popularity Brings Contempt

I've never been one to have tons of friends. I have always been anything but popular, and I'm okay with that, but lately something has been bugging me. I've always been quiet and kept to myself, and you'd be surprised by how many people do not like this! People don't like quiet people. I used to be cool with this. I always said that if they didn't like me, it was fine because I don't need them, and that I didn't like them either. I guess just lies I told myself to make myself feel better.. I've missed my best girl friend, Ciara so mauch lately. I love my hubby, and I LOVE hanging out with him, but I miss my Ciara. I really miss having a friend who doesn't judge you no matter how retarded you really are. She was always next to me being a retard right along with me. Right now I have my sisters.... That's about it. I love my sisters. I love hanging out with them. They are fun to be with! I feel like my life is missing more friends. Now that my kids have their little friends, I want to be friends with their parents. In all honesty, they don't like me. I just seem to repell people. Poor me, lol! Oh, what can you do? I am who I am, and that just doesn't sit well with people.
