lazy ....

I feel like I've been lazy lately. I took a sick day yesterday and now I'm taking a half day tomorrow (personal leave) but I have no motivation at all to keep working. I just like going but don't feel like planning much of anything haha jk I do plan stuff it's just more laid back than at the beginning of the year. We get out June 8th so we're only a few weeks away! I wish I could post some cool pictures, but for some reason my computer can't read my camera all of a sudden ... I saw everyone's cute posts and it's fun to see how everyone's doing. I miss being home with my baby and can't wait to stay home for the summer. Who knows what my plans are after that, but I know that I'll be able to enjoy our time together. And I'm SO FRUSTRATED because none of my pictures will load on this stupid thing! Anyone having problems with that? EVerything seems fine until I exit out of the picture screen and look at my post and it's a bunch of jumbly letters! UGH! help me ... Anyways I have adorable pictures of Kylee playing in the backyard with her cute polka dot swimsuit and holding the hose. And I have another picture of her eating dirt in the garden and then gagging on it haha. SHe is running around everywhere and discovering new things. She's still on the verge of talking, she says "bye bye," and sometimes sounds like she can say "I love you." I've noticed how particular she is, she wants things her way (wonder who she's like in that respect?)THe weather's getting nicer and we've been spending more time at the parks and taking walks. Kylee is picking up so many things and today she copied what I did ... I was leaning against the kitchen counter eating my snack and she took her snack and leaned against the cabinets it was sooo cute! K so I figured out what I can do ... I can post them as gadgets, just can't put them inside my posts for some reason ... annoying! Tell me how to fix it.

cleaning .. and possible remodel

Kylee is getting so close to talking now. She mimics most words she hears and I know it's just a matter of a few weeks before she says her first real word. This is a really fun age for her to be at. She understands everything I say and is picking up things I didn't even know she noticed.This weekend I feel like I got a lot done. I cleaned the house and organized the dreaded office. It was so messy with all of Matt's junk that he was going to "take care of" but I got it off the floor. Now all we have to do is paint in here ... it's still boring white. My job for the summer is to redo the kitchen. I will still be getting paid over 12 months as a teacher, but don't have to work a majority of the summer. What I really want to do is put in tile floors (replace the thin planks of orange colored wood) paint the cabinets white and put some brushed nickel knobs on them, paint it a light pale color, and last and best of all put in black speckled granite or possibly quartz. I can't wait! I get excited just thinking about how it would turn out. The kitchen is one of the big selling points on this house and that would be a great thing to do for a quick sale when the time comes (2 years or so ...)I have just about 2 months left at school and then welcome summer! Check out the hilarious video of Kylee at the bottom ...

The new business

We have talked about this so many times before, but have now decided to start a wedding and events planning business. Cindy and Michelle and I are going into business together! We have yet to come up with a name, but are already rolling with the all the things we want to do and achieve. So if you have anybody you know that is planning on getting married, a reunion, a business party, whatever! give them my information! The first 3 weddings/events we do will be at a greatly discounted price to get our name out there! We did four weddings this past year together, some of them being planned in 6+ months, some just 2 weeks of time. You may email me personally at any time at sunkist_ag@hotmail.com (I know I need to change it to something more professional ... that's from when I was a teenager!) Remember there will be a large discount to the first three weddings/events done this year!
