So I have become obsessed with this little site called Pinterest. I have gotten so many cheap crafty ideas about DIY gifts that I want to go out and buy every single possible thing to make all of them! Right now I'm sticking to moderately easy stuff like mason jars, and CD closet dividers.
Life is going pretty good. My roommate and I seem to be working out pretty well. Kodi and Kayden play extremely well together and she is pretty fun to be around.
Since money is tight, I'm making everyone's gifts this year. Its the thought that counts right?
I drove down to Tulsa to take Kayden to the aquarium there. It was so much freaking fun! It was nice to hang out with dad and Pam too.
School is almost over, and I can't say that I'm real sad about it. I think that I'll pass all my classes but I'm really worried about English. I'm just not doing well in there and I don't know what exactly I'm doing wrong. Little things I can fix but it seems like my papers just aren't flat out what she is looking for. I'll keep trying but hopefully I don't have to re-take it next semester.
Life is wonderful right now :)

Who wants to car shop for me?
Every 16 year old kid who gets to go with their parents to buy their first car is always so excited. Freedom is at the tip of the tongue. Over the past 2 years, I have gotten to feel what the PARENTS feel like on the other end. Its pretty much the opposite. Freedom has ended, your pocketbook is hurting, and you feel nothing but irritation, and annoyance during 95% of the process. The 5% that is OK? Well that's when you're test driving the car and think, I could buy this.
The other 95% consists of them trying to screw you over, take your money, and push you into buying a car that you aren't even 100% sure you want.
They TRY to make you sign these stupid little forms that say "I will buy this car if all terms are agreeable". What the hell does that even mean? Seriously? I think they only give it to me because I'm 20 and a girl. I'm not stupid. I have this thing called a brain that sends signals to me when people are bullshitting me. No I am not going to take less than HALF of the actual trade-in-value. NO I am not going to sign your stupid form, and NO I will not buy this car today. I am going to go home, sleep, run numbers and think.
Hopefully today will be less of a pain in the ass. I'm trying not to get too excited, generally when I do that I end up pissed off and want to go the hell home.
FYI to all cars sales people. Taking 2 and a half hours to gather information that you should ALREADY know about a car tells me your trying to make me sweat so I'll give in and buy the car. Here's some news. I am not stupid, and I have will power. Next time you try and make me sign that stupid form, I'm walking out.
Sincerely, someone who will be smart when she buys cars.

Stupid or not so stupid?
So I may or may not have done something really stupid...
I hate living alone. Its not a secret. So a friend of mine with a little girl needed somewhere to live.
I said she could come live with me. I know having a roommate can be awesome, and horrible all at the same time.
I need the extra money, BAD, and I hate being alone. She needs somewhere to stay for cheap, so this might be a good fit.
I hope we both can keep our end of the deal.
So it could be good. She seems like a low-key person, which I need because I can't do the whole, have tons of friends over constantly. And she has a little girl so her and K can play together. Its short term, but we will see how it goes :)
My mom got married last week. I have very mixed feelings about it all.
I am super excited about Black Friday though! I hope I can get Kayden some kick ass gifts this year!
I already got him a ton of gifts but now its time for serious shopping! I love buying him stuff!
I am way excited for Christmas! Not as excited about Tgiving but I'll post about that later ;)

I have the cutest kid ever.
There's always that one moment every once in a while, well actually like every day, that you're like "holy crap I'm a mom, that is my kid, and I love him so much."
I had 2 of those yesterday and one this morning.
I picked up Kayden's dinosaur costume from my sisters yesterday. I go get Kayden from daycare, he was smiling and laughing when I picked him up. I kissed him all over, and started to put his costume on. Seriously, CUTEST kid ever.
We get to his GiGi's house, I let him out of the car, and he starts running to her. Moment #1. It took my breath away of how cute he was. I almost cried. On Halloween haha.
His GiGi took him to a few houses to trick-or-treat, she dumped half her candy bowl into his basket, then we headed to see daddy.
Kayden kept pointing to him behind the counter and got super pissed cuz I wouldn't let him down to go get "dada". As soon as Kevin picked him up Kayden latched on like his life depended on it. Made my heart melt. Kinda makes me jealous when he gets like that with his daddy. But on the other hand, I'm glad they are so crazy about each other.
So we get to my moms, load up, and head out to Edmond. We're all taking pics and all that jazz, then we start the trick or treating.
My holy crap moment #2 of the night was shortly after we had started trick-or-treating. He started RUNNING to the doors of these houses, playing with all their decorations, and taking candy and trying to go into strangers houses. That was the cutest thing ever. He was so into it and everyone thought he was the cutest thing.
He passed out about 2 minutes after we got in the car. We got home, I changed his diaper, and he cuddled with mommy and passed out again.
About 3 or 4 days a week I have this same oh crap moment at the same time every day.
Kayden will wake up in a great mood, but he won't wanna get out of bed. He wants to cuddle. These are my oh crap moments.
He latches on to me, snuggles up real close, and "pats" me on my head or something.
He gives me tons of kisses and lots of hugs. Those are the best "oh crap" moments.
He has also started doing this thing, were he runs behind me, latches onto my legs and cries when he sees someone he doesn't know. He gets so scared LOL.
It melts my heart.
Kayden had a great Halloween. I gave him M&M's after breakfast. So I'm sure Kevin is grateful for the sugar high.
I love my stinky bear SO stinkin much.
He's the greatest kid ever.

Halloweeeeeeen Weekend
Its Halloween weekend already! Wow time flies way too fast.
Saturday we had Mr. Blue's birthday party. Kayden had a blast! He kept getting super pissed at me because I wouldn't let him swim by himself. He will be such a good swimmer though! He already kicks his legs really well!
Sunday we went to my sisters for lunch, games and pumpkin carving. I had to leave early because I had a horrible migraine. I don't think I've ever had one that bad.
We got home, I fed Kayden, and we went to bed at 7:30. He woke up a lot because we went to bed early but I felt SO much better when we woke up this morning.
Today is my last assessment at the LI. I'm grateful for a little bit of money. Of course its going straight to bills but its better than nothing.
Tonight we're going trick-or-treating. Kayden is going as spider man. I didn't prepare much for his outfit. He won't remember anyways and I'm broke. So we're taking what we can get :) I'm sure he'll have a blast though :)
I'm hoping tomorrow is still a good day. Going to bed that early felt SO good. I think I'll do it again tomorrow.
I love my stinky bear so much. He is getting so big and is such an amazing person. <3

Halloween Weekend!
Life is good.
This is Kayden's first Halloween where he can trick or treat!
I think he's going as a dinosaur. Costumes are so expensive. Plus he doesn't care what he's going as.
Tonight I think we are going trunk or treating at church, then tomorrow is Mr. Blue's birthday! Woot Woot!
Kayden loves to swim and loves his cousins so it will be a blast.
Monday I think we are going trick or treating with Charly & Jeff. It will be a blast. Hopefully it won't be too cold.
Tuesday I have an open house at work which should be interesting. I hope we get a lot of potential clients.
I'm missing my baby boy, so I'm happy its Friday so that I can spend a lot of time with him.
I think Sunday we will just play games, and eat and read books at Charly's house. I just wanna cuddle and watch movies with him, but he's too much of an explorer for that.
I have 4 papers, 4 discussion questions, 6 tests, and a billion other things to do that I've been procrastinating on but oh well. I'll get it done. Hopefully I'll get a better grade on my next English paper. I'm not doing so hot in that one.
Other than all that, life is good. My bills are paid once again this month which is always an accomplishment.
I have a lot to be grateful for. I need a lot but I have a lot and am grateful for everything.
Most of all I have my son, who is the most amazing person on the planet.
