The WEEKEND!

Where do I begin.....this weekend lasted awhile cuz i guess i actually did so much lol well more than usual!!
First, i was super excited about getting my new video camera, i LOVE LOVE LOVE! and just got an incredible deal on it, its pretty much brand new!!!!!! Saturday we went to Tanger Outlet and before we left, we decided to TRY to let allie go all day with NO pamper! She wore shorts and panties, no pamper! And omg, my child is potty trained! She is 100% potty trained!!! Martin and I are so excited!!!! NO MORE DIAPERS!!!!!!! ahhhhhhhh She is 2 1/2 and she got it pretty quickly, well idk if its normal, but it took her about 2 full months of finally getting it...i would teach her here and there, but in Febuary, that was it, once she used her last diaper, we werent going to buy anymore. She ran around the house naked but if thats what it takes to get her potty trained, then so be it! Its done!!
Saturday night, when i realized that she is potty trained, i remember promising myself that I would take away the paci, shes going to be 3 in August and I really dont want her to have it at that age, the earlier i take it away, the easier it will be...so she did NOT go to bed until 4am!! she cried and played, cried and played until i had enough and we both went to sleep in my bed and then she was OUT! She woke up a few times looking for the paci but she gave up and then went back to sleep...so it wasnt so bad! Tonight, which is Sunday night, I didnt give her the paci again, i put her down about 2am and she screamed and screamed!!!! About 30 mins later i told her to come lay next to me on the couch and then she asked for her paci and i told her that she was a BIG GIRL NOW! and that paci are for babies. I asked her if she was a baby and she shook her head no, so then i said well no paci...then she just layed down, moved a little bit and about 10 mins later, she was OUT! i coulnt believe it, shes doing so good, im so proud of her! The only thing that i am really worried about is her picking up my bad habit when i was a child.....SUCKING HER THUMB!! She has it in her mouth every once and awhile and i yell at her to take it out, she takes it out immediatly, but im just scared she will start sucking her thumb! I do NOT want her to do that, im going to try my best to not let her do that!!

Okay....so my weekend....friday, martin got home from work at like 2pm, we hung out at the house for awhile, martin went and took a nap for about 2 hours...once he woke up, i went out and got a pedicure, this lady did SUPER great!! she gave me the best massage on my feet too, omg!! But it was $22!!!! i couldnt believe it, i paid a total of $25, idk if ill go back there, if i have a good bit of money, then hell yah ill go becuz that place was awesome and its literally 2 mins away from my house...after i was done there, i went to Cato's and looked for an outfit to wear for Carrie Underwoods concert but i found NOTHING there! That was depressing ughhh, i hate trying on clothes! Then i went back home to get allie and martin, we then went to tanger outlet until about 9pm and then we went to Food depot to get groceries for the week. Then we went home and that was about it for that day. On Saturday Martin got home at about 2pm again and we went to old navy and i still didnt find anything there for the concert, i just got a shirt, $6 it was on sale, and martin got some flip flops, 2 for $5! Then we went to Goodys, they are closing so they had sooo many great sales!!! I got like 3 shirts, martin got a pair of Adidas shorts and allie got a shirt, they didnt have much for little girls, they were running out of everything! We spent like $60 for all the stuff we got and it was a pretty good bit! Then we went to Mo-Joe's to go eat, for FREE! I have been craving their buffalo tenders lately, idk why but they are so good now! lol i guess cuz i havent had them in awhile and i dont work there anymore!
Okay, so then on sunday, me and allie woke up at about 1pm, becuz we went to sleep at 4 something, once we woke up, we really didnt do anything...Daddy called a guy from Craigslist that was selling a 57" Toshiba HD tv for only $450! And the guy told him to come by and get it if he likes it...we finally got a truck from Denise at 6:30 and they went and got it, i also called Pop and asked if i could have his big tv that he had in his spare bedroom and he said yah, come get it! Now daddy has a HUGE ass tv, i LOVE it! And now we have a 42" tv in our living room, its not the best tv cuz its old but it is way bigger than our old 27' we had...we are still wanting a big tv for the living room, and then we'll put pops tv in our bedroom...once i get my tax money back ($600 i think May 2nd, some kind of tax cut we get back) i think we will be looking for a tv on craigslist too and see if we can get a deal like daddy did, i hope we get as lucky as him cuz his tv is HUGE and it looks AWESOME!!!! He said he's never leaving his room! LOL Oh and tonight we cooked out hamburgers, gosh martin knows how to cook a burger!!!!

I also found a GREAT drink!! (alcoholic drink) Its Bacardi Strawberry, i think thats the name, they have it at mojoes and now i get that everytime im up there, it is soooo good! Not to strong at all.

Misty called me today and gave me the best news!!! A friend of hers offered her a 7 day 6 night hotel for free!!!! Its a 2 bedroom penthouse suite, right on the ocean in Myrtle Beach, SC! She asked if i wanted to go and i was like omg yah!!! I just had to ask martin to see what he thought about it and he was like...GO! haha im so excited, i think we will have a blast, it will be me, allie, misty and her kids, martin cant go cuz of work and polo can go too cuz of work...i wish martin could go, i really want him there, but he cant miss work right now, especially for a week, its too early to take a vacation, he hasnt even worked with Denise for a year yet, so we cant ask for that too soon! I just cant wait to go, i hope we have fun, im sure we will!

Allie is taking a nap right now, well not really, shes still moving but she better get her butt to sleep lol

Today ive been online almost all day looking for a camcorder, i found one on Craigslist that i like but she still hasnt written me back yet, im waiting on her, i hope she writes me soon!! I dont want to do ebay again cuz im scared ill get another bad one, but it looks like i dont have any other choice,well i do....but that means i will have to wait and i want one NOW! lol im so impatient, i wish i wasnt like that but i am...

Carrie's concert is NEXT WEEK!!! Gosh im so excited, its 7 days away, i cant wait!!!! im bringing extra batteries, im not missing a minute! We're going to be on the floor, so we are going to be super close! I have been listening to Kieth Urban's cd almost every single day and i now love his cd, his music is really good! I never really cared for him and i thought i would be bored during his half of the concert but now ill love it cuz i know all of the songs! i just cant wait to go!!!!

Long time no see

Right now I am watching The Biggest Loser Finale and Allie is cleaning up the living room, I can't believe it! lol i told her to pick up her toys, NOW! and she's doing it!! she's such a good girl!!! =]

Well, so much has happened throughout these past few weeks...Big Brother still sucks this season and they are casting a new season for the summer which airs in July, so I hope it will be way better than this suck ass one!!!!

Lately I have been talking to Pop more, I bought some tomatoes for him this past Sunday and when i dropped them off, he was ecstatic...Martin and I also went to see him saturday night and Allie gave him his very first hug and kiss, she is finally warming up to him =] And today we went to burger king and i called him and he met us over there with his chair (its electric) and he was thrilled to eat with us, he gets excited over the smallest things lol but its good to see him happy!

Martin is also working extra hard lately, his last check was $680! thats a big improvement, compared to $300! So it looks as if things are getting better for us! I hardly ever seen him anymore, he works about 12 hour days and comes home to eat and then he's in the bed! But we still have our weekends together and plus, the money is great too! lol
We just got a new living room set!! We got it April 5th, its a sectional and its beautiful!!! We got it at Badcock, my dad got approved there and thats the only way we got to get it, i love it! the old furniture was starting to stink really bad and it was sooooo uncomfortable! it was terrible! so we def. made a big upgrade haha



I ordered a new DVD camcorder, so im excited about getting that!! I haven't had a camcorder in about 6 months, ive been using my digital camera and uploading all of allie's videos onto youtube, i really need a camcorder bad!!! I'm missing so many memories of allie that should have been filmed! BUT i always have my camera, lol so i dont really miss a moment!
My mim-maw had to have surgery and everyone was scared that she had cancer but it was pallops (sp?), thank god! So they went and took them all out and she is now fine! Thats a huge relief and thank god she is still here with us for hopefully many more years to come!

About Martins papers and his AOS, we still dont know if he will be approved or not, we havent heard anything...they received my dads birth certificate April 4th cuz he is our co-sponsor but we still havent heard anything yet...we're hoping he gets his EAD card (work permit) SOON! And we hear an APPROVAL this month!!! We can only hope!

I also haven't been able to write in my blog as much lately cuz my laptop had problem after problem and I had to keep sending it to HP! Gosh i was so irritated but i finally got it back and it seems like my computer is back to normal *knock on wood* I hope it stays like this for awhile!

I guess thats it...i will try to write back more and more, i really want to keep up with this! Soooooo byeeeebyeeee!!!
