I haven't been writing much in my journal. My life seems so boring compared to everyone else. lol All I ever do is play with Ethan. Nothing exciting to the outside world. I do enjoy reading about other people. I like the communities too. What are some of your favorite communities? What does everyone have planned for Thanksgiving? We're going to my mother in law's house for dinner and I just pray we can get through the night without talking about our financial situation. I would definitely be thankful if she would just keep her nose out of our business. I hope everyone has a good Thanksgiving!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!

My home hair dye turned out great. I ended up having to send Jason to the store to get another box. My hair seemed to soak the first one up real quick, and I didn't get the back done fully. I wish we still had a digital camera. I would sure play model for a day if I could! lol

So that doll I posted on here is sick, right? Jason's friend from work told me about it, and I couldn't believe it. Surely they don't sell those things here in the US right?

I have no clue what to get Ethan for Christmas. We can't afford a whole lot, but we have been putting a little money back for his presents. What are some good toys out there for his age? I don't go shopping much, and hardly ever get to watch TV so I don't know much about all the cool new toys. I really prefer him to have learning or creative play toys. Any ideas?

OH MY GOD! Has anyone else seen this?

Ok so I have a livejournal question. When I look at all my friends' profiles I see they have this title thing at the top. How do you put that there? I went to edit profile but didn't see any place to add one.

I didn't get much sleep last night. I swear is it just my kid, or does anyone else have kids over a year old that still don't sleep through the night? Ethan woke up like 3 times last night. All I have to do is tuck him back in, but still. A full nights sleep would be nice.

I think we are going to go for a hike today. Not really a hike, more like just walking a trail. It's nice outside, so we should definitely get out of the house. Jason never wants to go do this kind of stuff anymore. :( He used to love going for hikes and stuff with me, now he just wants to lay around the house.

Oh! I'm also going to dye my hair today! I'm so excited, it's been way too long since I had some color put in it. I really hope this dye works as well as the salon. I read the directions, it doesn't seem like it will be that hard to do. I'll probably only need Jason's help for the back.

Hi. Here it goes, I'm going to attempt to make my first post. Hopefully I'll get it right. Maybe I'll make some friends soon too, so I won't be basically talking to myself. lol

Today Jason and I took Ethan to the park. Jason sat on the bench the whole time instead of playing with us. I hate it when he does that, but he does work hard so I know he is tired. Ethan and I tried to build a sand castle but the sand at the park has too much other crap in it for it to really pack like sand. After our failed castle we decided to play in the creek. Jason got all uptight about Ethan getting his clothes wet and muddy. I swear sometimes you would think he is the mom and I'm the dad. lol

Later we went to Jason's mom's house for dinner. She makes an awesome chicken casserole! We got to bring the left overs home too. I like Jason's mom, but sometimes I think she feels like our financial problems are all my fault. Jason helped me make the debt we have, but I think she thinks I should be helping pay it off. I'm not ready to go back to work though, and Jason wants me to stay with Ethan until he is school age. I don't like the idea of daycare either, not to mention it's EXPENSIVE! The last thing we need is another bill.

I've been really wanting to dye my hair lately, but didn't dare ask because we need to save money anyway possible. But last night Jason surprised me, and brought home a box of hair dye very close to the color I used to get in the salon. I've never dyed my own hair, but he said he would help. I hope it turns out ok. I cut Jason's hair myself a few weeks ago, and it turned out much better than I expected. I was really nervous, but he said if I messed it up he would just shave his head. I may attempt trimming my own too. Or maybe I should let him try. I don't want to shave my head though, and I'd probably cry if he or I messed up. lol
