IT'S FINALLY FRIDAY!!!!

It's Finally Friday.....for me this means the hubby will be home for the next 3 days (cause he has monday off for President's Day). I will have help with the kids and I won't be by myself for about 12-13 hours each day. Valentines Day is this weekend and our Anniversary is this week, Abbigail's birthday is next week (scary she's already 1!!!!) and in a way it is upsetting to me. We were supposed to close on our house next week. Unfortunately because the sellers were greedy and we could not come to an agreement on the new price of the house I decided to walk away from it. I had had enough of their BS and seemed like their never ending counter offers. So now we are back at square one looking for another house for our family. We saw one the other day that seemed perfect, it came with all the appliances, 4 rooms, 3 bathrooms, a loft, on a quiet street, but it didn't feel like a home to me. It used to be a corporate owned home and that is exactly how if felt. I just couldn't picture our family living there. I know there has to be a house out there that is right for us.
So aside from the house hunt I was finally able to get in and see my PCM to get referrals to start seeing a new neurologist and dermatologist out here. My PCM is a smart man. When he asked me what my last CT scan looked like I told him my last neurologist never ordered one. He kinda gave me a dumbfounded look and ordered one on the spot along with a bunch of blood work to see if we can get down to what is causing my migraines. Especially since my medication has stopped working.
So some update on the kiddos.....Abby will be 1 on the 25th....my how time flies!! She currently has 4 teeth with a 5th that has just broken thru within the last 2 days. She has become dangerous!! Now that she has teeth she knows how to use them! She got tired of Thomas moving her around the other day and she ended up biting his leg...left a nice set of dental impressions and a pretty nice bruise behind as well. I guess he didn't learn his lesson because the following day he was taking her toys and she started going after him with her mouth wide open. It was pretty funny. But I do NOT condone biting in my house. She comes after me or her daddy we bite back :-) hopefully she will learn and stop. We finally got Abby wearing shoes, size 5. Big Foot!!

We also ended up getting Abby a big girl car seat. She was getting too big for her infant seat and I could tell really hated sitting in it for long periods of time. She is definitely much happier now that she has leg room and is enjoying having a cup holder for her bottle and toys just like her big brother!

Now that the weather is supposed to warm up this weekend and hopefully from here on out I plan on getting out more with the kiddos and finding things to do. Thomas likes to drive down Las Vegas Blvd and look at the Eiffel Tower at the Paris hotel and at the Sphinx and pyramid from the Luxor. Maybe one day when it is a little warmer out and not too crowded I'll take the kiddos and go walk the strip and go watch the water show and other little entertainment things they do down there. Anywho, if anyone has any ideas for this to do in vegas just let me know!!! Hope everyone has a great Valentines Day!!!
Until Next Time...

Giving It A Shot....

Ok, so here's my first blog...gotta find some kind of outlet for me since I haven't made any friends here yet and I'm in our apartment pretty much all day with the kiddos. We've been in Vegas for almost a month now. My first impression of the place besides being completely blown away by the 360 degree mountain views was not all the glitz and lights, but how dirty it is!!! And when I say dirty I don't mean like strippers and prostitutes dirty. There are some places that are nicer than others, and I am glad that we will be moving from our temporary apartment soon because it is in the part of town that is dirty. Being here almost a month we have had pretty much either cold weather or it's been raining. I'm not one who likes being cold so I'm not really liking the weather. Plus I thought moving might help my headaches, LOL, they have made them worse and my medication has pretty much had no effect on them. Can't wait to meet my new neurologist in a few weeks. I hope I can last. I don't know how other military wives feel after a move because this is my first move, but I feel like I'm in limbo! Like I don't really have anywhere to call home just yet. Abilene was finally feeling like home and now that we've moved Vegas just dosen't feel like it yet. I guess it will just take a lot of time.
Actually got out today and drove around with the kiddos, mostly to pay the bills. There is something about dropping off bills rather than mailing them that I enjoy doing. I also got intouch with spouse from the group that my husband works with. Looking forward to meeting and getting to know the women who call themselves "The Lady Samauris". They don't have an officers spouses club out here and I have not been able to find a MOPS group to join so it's been kind of hard for me to meet other women and makes friends as of yet. "Baby steps" I keep telling myself. I'm putting my job search on hold yet again :-( My family comes first and I'll find a job when the time is right. Or I'll just go back to school and finish my RN if I can't find a job that works with our family schedule. But I refuse to let my education go to waste, I've worked to hard for it.
Well I guess this will be the end of my first post, my hubby just came out half asleep seeing if I was coming to bed. I intend to use this blog to keep friends and family updated on things going on in Vegas and what ever else I find interesting. If anyone has any suggestions of things to do in Vegas (besides casinos!) please let me know! Maybe it will end up being one of our outings.
Hope everyone reading this is well.
Until Next Time My Friends.....
