Just An Update!!!

Hey there you guys!! It's been a minute since I've posted and I haven't updated on anything from the past couple weeks. So here are the updates.

1. I got the tests back fro, the amniocentesis that I had to get this morning. So far I am having a healthy baby boy.....who is a little on the small side. My test results came back abnormal for spinal defects but I am happy to report that there are no spinal defects, no chromosomal abnormalities.....nothing. The only thing that is a concern is that he is about 2 to 3 weeks behind in development size. This probably has everything to do with my high blood pressure. i am taking steps to take better care of myself to let little man have some growing room.

2. I MOVED!!!!! Boo Thang and I are no longer living with his mother and are currently getting settled into out new townhouse. I am so thankful for all the blessings that have been given to me over the past couple of months. It was past time for us to strike out on our own again and get back to the business of.....us

That's the long and short of it!!

Tuesday Randoms

1. I know I haven't blogged in a LONG time! Still trying to get adjusted to working 8 hours and having a life after I clock out. It's the struggle. All That time being unemployed has greatly put me at a disadvantage. Did I say that the pay is absolutely friggin awesome?!?! I've never made this much money in one pay period in my entire life! I'm not even getting commision yet! I can also see how a person would get stuck there.....gotta make sure I remember what I'm here for.

2. If I've said it before, I've said it a million times.....I'M READY TO MOVE! Looking at my take home, we're set to go by the end of next month.

3. Relationships are ahrd....ESPECIALLY when you've been together for a long time. Communication seems to be a struggle. People get too comfortable. Troubled times have shown me that there is no one else that I'd rather go though this stuff with than Boo Thang. (Even though I'm sure we'd like to strangle each other sometimes!)

4. One day Daddy is in love with his wife, the next day I'm supposed to draw up his divorce papers (this is another post in itself). I've decided that I no longer want to be involved or kept abreast of the foolishness....because that is exactly what it is. Some folks need to grow the hell up.

Happy Tuesday!!

First Steps

I have moved!!! YES!!!!

The past month has been a flurry of packing, moving and getting things in order to move. I intentionally stopped blogging so that I can get into a less busy head space. I am officially a resident of Madison County….and that feels pretty good. Around my last couple of days left in Oxford, I realized  that I have lived in Oxford for the past 10 years. I moved into Crosby Hall at Ole Miss on June 27, 2001. That was the beginning of the second summer session before my freshman year. I never left. Something about Oxford connected with me. I guess that was because my hometown is the size of a small village. Anything that was a little bigger was better for me. Went to undergrad there. Went to law school there. Then started spinning my wheels there. Great town for a student…..not that great for anyone else there.

I've been here almost 3 weeks and it is still kinda weird to call anywhere else home. These are familiar surroundings but I've only visited. I am still trying to get out and bump around to make myself more at home. The job search has also began. I may have a job next week….but that is the subject for another post if and when I get the job.

There is also a change with Boo Thang and I. Over the past few days, he has been the most affectionate guy. I have the urge to just reach out and ask him what he did, lol. He's excited that he got to take me home with him. Can't be mad at that. We were stuck in a little rut and the change of scenery has done us good….in 3 weeks lol. 

HOWEVER (and what is a happy post without a "but") I am SO ready to move, lol. We are staying with Boo Thang's mother and stepdad until we save enough money to move out. I feel like that we have instantly stepped into the role of children. I love his mother to death, but it is so obvious that the absence of children has her happy that we are there. I don't have any problems, but Boo Thang is seriously annoyed. When he's annoyed, I'm annoyed. (It just happens like that sometimes.) I haven't lived at home with my parents for more than a summer in the past ten years, so I understand how much of a culture shock this is for him. All the more reason to get on up, get it together and move on out. It's going to work itself out though....or y'all will hear about it.
