Just for Lindy

Ok so last weekend was Addison's birthday party and we had seperate parties one at my Dad's and one at my Mom's but I will post pictures when I get them bc pictures tell the story much better than me.

So are whole moving situation is going NOWHERE! I wish it was because we recently found that someone had unscrewed our floodlights, which is so creepy. Right now we are in the process of making sure EVERYTHING is covered under insurance. So basically if anyone needs any advice on how to deal with greedy insurance companies hit me up. The most important thing is to make sure you have pictures and/or receipts for anything valuable. Lesson learned the hardway.

I got my score back for the first part of the CPA exam that I took and I missed it by 1 point!! One point! After I take the second section (Auditing) I am going to retake it and kick it's booty!! I would not normally share something like this for creepers to see but most people have to take the CPA exam multiple times it is one of the hardest licensing exams there is, so missing it by one point ain't so bad. Plus the first part is the longest and hardest. I really want to knock it out of the park because next year I would LIKE to have baby number 2!!! Yes Ladies and Gents it is true. In order for this baby to happen I would need several things to happen one, find a new home, two pass the majority of the CPA exam I think I could handle one section during the beginning but after the 6th month not so sure, and one other but that is a change I can not give away right now. Although I am not so sure how Addison would handle this new baby, she is not a brat and doesn't demand everyone's attention but she does get jealous. About a month ago her MeMe took another baby at her daycare who at the time was 8 weeks old. She has gotten over some of her jealousy but if she wants her MeMe and she is holding the baby, once MeMe puts he baby down Addison will seriously try to get to the baby I guess to smack him. We never really find out because we don't let her in his close space. He was a premie and is still little so she would probably hurt him. Then at her first birthday I was holding Hadley, Jillian (Martin) Griffith's baby and Jillian was holding Addison and let's just say she gave Hadley the glare and whined till I took her back. It is beyond amazing the emotions and things that Addison copies and she is only 12 months old.
That amazingness is what has put me in my current personal struggle. I never in a million years thought that I would want to be a stay at home Mom but I do. I always thought that I would get my degree and be a "career" woman because I never wanted to rely on anyone for money or support. However being a mother seriously changes your life in ways that you could not ever imagine. I love my little Princess with all my heart and I do not want to miss a second of her life. However I have bills to pay and will not be able to be a stay at home until the economy seriously picks up, we are a two income household.

Thoughts Running

Well after seeing two of my friend's blogs I thought this was an excellent idea so that everyone who I do not talk too or get to see often can keep up with my family! I am not going to go back and catch everyone up but go forward! This concept is how I came up with the title of the blog. I find myself always looking forward to the future or always looking to tomorrow. Now that I have Addison I find myself living in the present more or at least wanting to live in the present. She is constantly learning and growing and she is never the exact same as she was yesterday because she is learning something new and with each tomorrow she grows bigger. It saddens me that she will never be the same again that she is only one once and because of this realization I have forced myself to live in the moment.

That all being said as of today I am studying for the second part of the CPA exam, Auditing, it is not as large as the first one I took (Financial) so I will take this one in October. Studying 30 hours in all of my spare time when Addison is sleeping is getting old fast. Oh Addison is not only walking now she is running so I can not get anything done while she is awake. It is amazing how much energy she has I wish I had a 1/4 of it! Recently Dan's truck was broken into again, they threw a brick through the window and several valuable items were stolen, and they also broke into our cabinents under the carport that were locked, and stole tools. So the search has begun for us to find a new home, we are planning to rent our home out until the market turns around. A lot of homes in our neighborhood our rentals and our neighborhood is going south fast. There were a few other incidents where we felt threatened so we are really praying that something changes soon. We looked at two houses to purchase when looking for a place to rent this weekend but their owners want more than they are worth, but who doesn't. Anyone who can is holding out until the market turns around.

Addison cried for her MeMe, Latressa who keeps her during the day when I picked her up today. It was the first time and it was bittersweet. Addison is saying Mama, Dada, Baba, Duck, Blue, Yellow, Meme, Baby, Dog, Yes, No, Ball, Pop, and she will try to repeat anything you say but it doesn't always come out correctly.
