Our living nightmare in #4204

From a time when I was very very little I can remember being laid up in bed for several days at a time each time I was so unfortunate to be stung by a bee. With that said I am horrified of these little creatures as well as horribly allergic to them. When we moved into our apartment back in March we noticed that there were several wasps living in the blinds and we immediately reported this to management well before we ever even moved in. They said that pest control would come out and take care of it and we were satisfied. About two months ago we noticed again that we were once again getting friendly visitors to which I again immediately reported it to the management. Now don't get me wrong we have a can of hornet spray ready because these pesky little creatures like to pop in when hubby isn't home and I have to face them myself. We have tried to take care of getting rid of the nest and things of that nature... but if you want my honest opinion, I think they are living in my walls. Two nights ago 10-17-08 I came home and found one wasp in Little Bits room and two by the backdoor so I again reported it to the apartment management. Last night 10-19-2008 we found three little wasps one on the ceiling and two by the back door. I guess with it getting cooler outside they are looking for warmth because today was the icing on the cake..... we found ELEVEN...yes count them......ELEVEN.....I wanna know what my legal rights are to move out of this place for fear of my safety. What if I stepped on one going in the middle of the night to check on little bits or heaven for bid one end up in bed with us and I roll over on it. Did I mention that it is difficult for me to breath even when I get stung not to mention the enormous swelling I experience.....What are my rights???? I must know. I am going tomorrow to DEMAND an action plan....

Life has been a little less crazy!

Hubby and I just got back from a really quick trip to San Antonio. Little bits loves to sit and listen to her great-grandma...surprising I know. We had a great time. We drove down in Hubby's in order to be able to bring some family heirloom furniture home and there is not a CD player in Hubby's truck. We were really dreading the six hour trip without music. The radio works but out of town you never can find a station that really works for ya. We had an awesome time. It was a fantastic opportunity for us to talk and regroup. We, in six hours, designed our new home, named our next three children, picked several career paths for LB (only time will tell if she will pick any of those herself), and we talked about how we fell in love and what brought us together and what keeps us together. It was an awesome time for us to remember what the Lord has in store for our lives, and to acknowledge we don't always pick our next move. Sometimes our Heavenly Father picks it for us, we just have to accepting of what He has to offer. Anyways that is a completely different blog. The fact is the entire family had a great time.

Hubby just started his new job and LOVES it.... I am very excited. He has needed this change for quite some time. His other team members are awesome, honest and NOT in trouble with the law.

LB is fully potty trained now. We put her in a pull up in the car on the way to SA but she never went potty in it. I think that classifies as potty trained. She loves to tell people. "I potty trained; no accidents."
She really is the light of our life. I will upload some pictures soon. She begged me for a week to cut her hair after mommy got her haircut so we took her down to get it cut and it is A.D.O.R.A.B.L.E. She has a new fascination with Dora the Explorer and has put wiggles to the side. Thank you very much!!!! One can only take so much Anthony, Murray, Greg, Jeff and Sam.....oh and in LB terms "dorfy the dinosaur."

With Hubby working nights he needs days to sleep. Anyone wanna go to the park???

i am desperatly trying to figure out how to allow comments... help anyone... sundberg.b@gmail.com

Thanks

At last...

For months now hubby has been working for a company that has really been testing his standards. They tend to not do business legitimately. This problem presented itself early on and we have been praying for a change and nothing. To make a long story short hubby and I decided that we needed to start devoting ourselves to things that we had been lacking on, like couple scripture study and prayer. This hasn't proved easy for us. Hubby has been working 55-60 hours a week. Sometimes at night all hubby can do is get through the front door before crashing where he stands; but nonetheless we have been trying. Last week we noticed that we had been doing so much better spiritually together and better as a couple in general. Isn't it amazing what will happen if we follow the guidance of our spiritual leaders. Hubby has since been able to find a new job and will start on the 22. This new job will enable hubby to go back to school and finish his start to a nursing degree. We love each of you that have offered up your love and support..

PS. this new job is overnights... any coping ideas???? comment away

Pretty Princess or Playful Tomboy???

Little bits seems a bit confused these days. After our recent visit to the dentist(thats a whole different blog), little bits has become potty trained; not that those two things are connected in anyway except for the way that I am about to explain. You see when little bits started potty training she instantly started insisting on wearing dresses everywhere we go. Yes that includes the PARK. I suppose she finds it easier and I definitely do so I am not really complaining. Needless to say I have been very excited because little bits is finally interested in something girly that I didn't press upon her. YEA!!!!! My confusion is this.....she begs me to brush her teeth to stay cavity free (you see the visit to the dentist connection) only so she can fill her mouth with water and S.P.I.T. I guess she is the perfect fit..... pretty princess with a twist of reality!!!! She keeps us busy!!

What an adventure!!!

1.5 hour drive to Dallas = $20.00
2 tickets into the park = $42.00
Watching a 2 yr old at an aquarium= $$PRICELESS$$
Pictures don't do our family trip to the Dallas Aquarium justice. Little bits was totally enthralled by all the exhibits. She loved the sharks the best. It took us nearly four hours to go through the entire building. Hubby and I watched Little bits in amazement as she ran up and down the walkways yelling, "Momma come here! Look at this." Daddy was a good sport; he usually likes to keep tabs on Little bits at all times but she was just way to excited. At the seal tank daddy put Little bits right up against the glass and got a very cute picture of the seal.


Towards the end of the trip Little bits started gettinga little fussy but after we fed her (who would have thought a kid would get hungry) she was much better. Enjoy the pictures posted. CHECK BACK SOON FOR A SLIDE SHOW POSITNG OF THE PICTURES

ITS BEEN FOREVER

It is obvious that my once a week goal did NOT happen. I am going to post a lot over the next several days. Starting with our most recent news then I will do catch up posts this coming week. Congratulations are in order for Hubby. Hubby just got asked to take an Assistant Manager position with RAC and has accepted!!!! I am so proud of all his accomplishments. He is working really hard to make sure that his family is supported. I just had the opportunity to interview with MHMR of Grayson county in the ECI, Early Childhood Intervention, Program. The best part of that is that it will enable me to spend more time with little bits and be home in the evenings to take care of my family. If I get this job, we will most likely be purchasing a home in April. I have my second interview on Tuesday. Please pray for our family. :)

In other news little bits sent her pacifiers to the angels today. She says she is "sure Pepaw is taking care of them." Pepaw is how she refers to my father. She has never met him but upon seeing a picture of him for the first time named him Pepaw. We attached Little Bit's pacifier to a bouquet of balloons and sent them to Pepaw. Below are the photos. Little bits was ok with sending the pacifier's off until she realized she couldn't reach them and neither could mommy. We tried twice to send the balloons off. The first time they got caught in the trees, so we tried again. I think the pictures might actually be at the top. Until next time!!! We love you ;)

Chiropractic Wellness

So, in efforts to get our soon to be two year old healthy, we have started regular chiropractic care. Little bits doesn't seem to mind the table or the doctor at all but she doesn't care much for the adjustments...that is yet!! Hubby and I both go in for evaluations next week. We hear that it can be much healthier to try holistic approaches so Hubby and I are doing a lot of research. Our goal... to get healthy. The time is late and I am fading fast, but that is just our quick update.

Our Little Family

The hubby and I decided to start a blog to get away from all the drama of other sites we have tried using to keep our families in touch. There is hubby, me and little bits. We like to live the simple life and enjoy catching random snapshots of each other that have a story to tell. I have finally finihed up my last semester in school, hubby is working all the time and way stressed out and little bits is trying to keep up with all the chaos. My intentions when I first started this blog were to post weekly; however, I have been doing good to get in once a month and even that has only been recently. We love to watch movies together,build blocks and name our 100 plus babies. We are the coolest.kids.on.the.block!
