Nesting? I think yes!

So yesterday was a busy one for me. When I got up I decided that I was going to do my hair and makeup (I usually just put it up in a bun and throw on some eyeliner) After I did I felt so good about myself that I decided It is probably going to become and every day occurrence. (I did it today too). It definitely gives me the confidence boost I need. Damien had early release from school so he was home around 1:30. When he got home I had him do his homework and let him play Xbox for a little bit. I know, I know!!! I am trying to cut him down on it but I figured he has been doing pretty good in school so why not reward him. As I was sitting at the computer messing around I looked at the desk and realized all the clutter...ok i didn't just realize it I have known about it but it really started to bug me then. (Nesting maybe?) So I logged off Facebook and started cleaning off the desk...taking everything off of it and wiping it all down and reorganizing and throwing things away that we really didn't need..2 hours later I was finally done...YES 2 HOURS!! Now that I had done that my energy was all up and I was in a zone, a cleaning zone. So I went to the kitchen and warmed up some leftover spaghetti for Damien for dinner. (My fiance was at work and I wasn't that hungry so no need in making a big dinner) After he ate that I had him get his pajamas on and brush his teeth. I put a movie on for him in the living room and went to do the kitchen...I did the dishes wiped down all the counters and the stove. cleaned the table and swept the floor. When the dishes were dry I put them away and in the process of doing that I organized the pots/pans cupboard and the Tupperware cupboard..I wonder how long it is going to stay that way? Prob not too long. By now it was about 6pm..Now I am a night person, I have never been a morning person. So I don't know if I have been bit by the nesting bug or if I was just amped up from cleaning for 3 hours, but I went into my bedroom and decided to tackle the paperwork. My fiance keeps all his in a box and I have mine in an accordion folder. We recently got a filing cabinet but we don't have any hanging folders for it yet so I haven't put the papers in there. I also had a stack of papers that i have just been tossing in my room that I hadn't gone through. So I went through those and sorted them into like piles. I opened my fiances paperwork box and OMG!!!! He tries to organize it but every time he does he gets halfway through then stops. It is funny because he is a very clean guy, he will clean the house from top to bottom but when it comes to his paperwork, nope lol. So I spent an hour going through all his paperwork and organizing it and putting it all in folders and everything. I had to stop at one point to put Damien to bed. Finally after I had a pile of garbage on the floor and all the paperwork organized I was done! It was now 9pm. I knew my love would be home from work soon so I needed to wind down a bit. I washed my face put my hair up and threw on some comfy clothes. I grabbed a bowl of fruit and a book and curled up in bed and read till he got home. I tell you what I slept great last night. And to think I still have some more organizing and stuff to do. I will get it all done. Yep I believe I have officially been bitten by the nesting bug!. Until next time :)

Coupons, baby clothes and spaghetti.

Wow, yesterday was a busy one. I am getting back into couponing and spent all day clipping and organizing all my coupons. I made a coupon book with a 3 ring binder and some baseball card sleeves. I was up till almost 10 pm looking at different ad's and putting e-coupons on my loyalty cards. Damien was very wired yesterday, I think I am going to have to call his doctor and get his medication adjusted again. I tell you what sometimes having a child with ADHD is a full time job all in its own. But I will keep working with him and hopefully things will get better. We will see how he is tonight when he gets home. On the good side of things though my amazing fiance has been at his new job for only a week and yesterday they gave him a promotion up to store manager and gave him a 60% pay increase!!! That is awesome news, I want in the worst way to stay a SAHM and take care of the kids and the housework and if things keep going like this for him at his new job then that wish will eventually come true. I also got to talk to Trinidee on the phone, she is so silly. She can say her full name now, she giggled and said it was a funny name. I told her that is was a beautiful name and she said I was right that it was a beautiful name. I love hearing her giggle and tell me all kinds of silly little 4 year old stories. It amazes me how quick she is growing. I can't wait to have her back with me where she belongs. My day will come and I will have the last laugh. Today I got even more coupons given to me by a family member, it made me feel like a kid on Christmas morning. So now I have to go and clip all those and reorganize and look at more deals.

This couponing thing can get a bit tiring but I refuse to give up! I also was able to get a bunch of baby clothes for little Mikey, I can't beleive that there are only 17 weeks left until I am going to be holding my little monkey. And that is if I go all the way to 40 weeks..we shall see..My favorite thing I got him was a little onsie that says daddys helper with a little toolbelt on it..I cant wait to see him in it.

Well wanted to give you a quick update on what I have been doing for the past 24 hours. Nothing too exciting as you can see. Damien should be home in an hour, I am going to sit him down to do his homework and then maybe take him to the library. I still have to cut my moms hair sometime before the day is out. Been saying I was going to do that for weeks now..oops! And then I have to make spaghetti for dinner, I swear if we could we would have spaghetti every night in this family. Its quick easy and tastes good. Well until next time! Have a good one :)

Ah, the beginning....

So here I am, everyone is still in bed. Well not everyone, my son Damien is at school. He is 8 and in the 3rd grade. Oh the joys of 8-year-olds. Anywho, I have been debating on writing a blog for quite some time now. I love to write and I always need a place to vent. I am great at giving advice but not too great at taking my own advice. This morning I woke up and I sat at the computer and was like well lets get this started then. I am going to use the oppurtunity to introduce myself and tell you a bit about what is to come in my blog. Lets get started shall we?..My name is Dawnielle and I am a mother of 2 children, expecting my third. I had my son when I was 17, yeah I know I was young but I managed. I was a high school dropout and so I got my GED before he was born. I then started hair school and meet my daughters father. Still I was young and naive so I spent 5 years with him. 5 years of cheating and emotional abuse. I had my daughter when I was 21. Her name is Trinidee, she will be 5 in April. She currently lives with her father but that is a long story and a whole other blog post for a future date. I am now with an amazing man that treats me right and gives me the world. We are expecting our son in May. We are very excited. He was kind of an oops but we couldn't be happier. We are naming him after daddy so he is going to be Michael James III. So that is me in a nut shell. As you can see, when I write my posts I am not going to be all grammatically correct or anything. I am writing it as if I am sitting in front of you talking to you. This blog is going to be about my every day life. My struggles and my successes, I am also going to be giving advice. Like I said I am great at giving it but not good at taking it. So if you need advice post an anonymous comment (if you want to stay anonymous) and at the end of each week I will write a blog answering your questions. This is my first blog so bare with me here as it may come off to a rocky start, but I promise as it goes we will laugh together and sometimes cry together. You never know you may even learn a thing or 2. Well that is it for now. I need more coffee...Have a good day :)
