What a big day!!

Miss Journey met her new doctor today. She is a very healthy young princess. Poor thing had to get five shots but once she started breathing again she calmed down quickly. She was treated to McDonald's and I suffered through it! :-)

Then she had to go to the dentist. This was her 1st visit to the dentist so I had no idea what to expect. She did great!

Her legs are sore tonight but otherwise she seems okay.

Nana and Papa came over for dinner. Well, they came over to mow, paint a bookcase, steam clean carpet and eat dinner. Nana and Papa rock!

Summer Days

What a difference a weekend makes! We had a great time with some new friends (Mackenzie and Saleen)!

Thanks Nana and Papa for letting everyone stay with you all afternoon on Saturday!

What Happened to Peace, Love and Smile?

Yesterday was all smiles! What a difference a day makes.

Last night, she asked if she could take her shower this morning. Well, we've not done that before so I told her that it would have to be a short shower and that she had to promise to have a good attitude about it. She agreed and went to bed.

Well, let's just say the promise was forgotten around 6:30 am! She had a huge meltdown over getting out of the shower. She refused to get dressed so I had to dress her. I'll just say, after 10 minutes of kicking and screaming I was ready to send Missy Girl to daycare in a towel.

After a 5-minute time out, she regained her senses and got ready. As we were leaving, she asked if she could check on her plants. I said that she couldn't because we were running late and asked if she knew why we were running late. She said it was because she had a bad attitude.

I agreed with her and then asked, "What do you think my answer will be the next time you ask to take your shower in the morning?". She replied, "I'm guessing no." I'm just glad I was in the front seat so she couldn't see me laughing.

I was telling my mom about it and she said that she wanted to take Journey to Kelsey's volleyball scrimmage on Friday and that I should go out to dinner with a friend for some "me" time. I quickly said, well if you want her to spend the night I'm okay with that too.

She was fine with that so "ME" time here I come. Hey, don't judge me! LOL

Oh the joys of mommyhood! All you mom's are probably laughing and saying "Welcome to the Hood"!

Thanks again for your prayers....I sure do need them! LOL

Well, she's officially enrolled in school. She's going to be a Panda (school mascot). When I told her I was going to enroll her today, she said "Oh no, I can't write my ABC's yet". I of course told her she better get busy and she said "You Got That Right!".



Her shirt today said Peace, Love and Smile so this is her interpretation of her shirt. So, Peace Out!

Ballantyne 2010 at OneTrueMedia.com


We had a great time at Ballantyne. This was our first overnight trip so I wasn't sure what to expect. She went to bed much later but seemed to do okay with it. She's been very tired this week but I think she's just about caught up on her sleep. It is hard to put her to bed any earlier without buying black out shades for the windows. :-)

July 9th was the big day that I was given legal custody of Miss Journey. I will be signing her up for school tomorrow. How exciting? I think she will like it although the first few days of her getting comfortable with a new environment should be interesting for sure!

Happy 4th of July

Journey and I don't have anything major planned for the weekend yet it seems like every minute is full. She's going to the Lazy 5 Ranch today with her daycare and she was really excited about that. She said she wanted to pet the animals. I don't know if she thinks they will all be like Sophie or what b/c at Tweetsie she thought the animals were "gross" and wouldn't feed them at all. Which meant I had to feed them and all I can say is GROSS! Like mother like daughter huh?








She's had a busy week. She stayed with Ella on Monday and her mom (Pam) took them to SciWorks in Winston, Chick-fil-a and then swimming. Tuesday she stayed with Alaina and her mom (Melissa) took them to the park, Chick-fil-a and made several crafts with them. She is so adaptable and makes friends easily. Again, just like her mom!








I'm sure I'll take a few pictures over the weekend. We are going swimming with Rebekah and Sarah on Sunday and having a cookout. On Monday, we are meeting Delphia and Jackie at Village Tavern to remember our dear Tammy. She's never met Delphia so I know that will be fun.
Meeting Miss Jackie for the first time was a blast!








She's already told me (many many times) that she doesn't like fireworks so I'm thinking we won't go see any fireworks displays. I try to avoid meltdowns whenever possible.
