after cleaning and oiling and waxing and getting the wheel all pretty and awesome. It keeps calling for me to come spin. Unlucky for me Nathan wont let me spin. Very distracting to try to learn when the almost 4 year old keeps standing between you and your wheel. :( Maybe after Justin gets home I can get a little time in. Its very frustrating... just when I think I have it something goes wrong.

I'm starting to totally understand why ppl keep telling me that my wheel is not a beginner wheel. Its so fast. I got to play with a couple other wheels this past weekend (a joy and a rose). Its amazing the difference in all three wheels. I'd love to get a different wheel. But no way the budget will allow for that. The one I really have my eye on is $855. That's a lot of money. Not sure I can comfortable drop that much at one time. That's almost as much as my mortgage. The other one that I think I like (but haven't gotten to test drive yet) is $655 or something like that. Again that's a lot of moneys. More than I have just laying around.

good thing fiber is cheap because dear lord we've already spent all our money on the wheels.

Nathan and all his glory.



Picked it out. Then decided it also needed 6 pink candles to go with the 6 pink balloons.



He also really enjoyed eating it!

I stayed up until 7am. I laid down in bed and got up again at 9:30am. I have a feeling its going to be a long day. but oddly enough right now I'm wide awake. Computer has been acting off. I think I need a new power cord. Silly how I'm replacing things on here when I'm pretty sure its about to die. She is reaching her life expectancy. But replacing the $83 hinge and now a $34 power cord is still cheaper than a new computer. Its like hip replacement and a pacemaker. And I'm really hoping that I can squeeze another year (maybe two) out of this computer. She's my first laptop. And although her life didn't start out that nice (she was bought for the x to use for EQ and porn. he tired of her after only 6 months and traded her to me.) she's had a rather nice one. Traveling and helping out a single mother. My first laptop and I'll miss her when she dies.

So the weather was awesome last week. I had the house open and things were good. I was knitting and major progress on a sweater happened. I even managed to turn the heel on the socks I hate. Then the weekend. Saturday I woke up the house was still open. It was gorgeous I showered and got ready for my knitting group. I knew it was suppose to warm up so we closed the house and turned the air on. Justin immediately said "oh it already feels cooler in here". I just looked at him like he was an idiot. It had barely begun to even blow any air at all. Much less cool air. But whatever. I went. I knit. It was good. I came home. It was HOT. The entire weekend was hot. Today is hot. But the promise of cooler air is upon us. Our high right now for tomorrow is listed at 73. How awesome is that! Yep the house will be open again. The fresh air will be filling my house. Everyone will be happy. The cooler air is suppose to last the rest of the week and I'm very pleased by this.

in other more exciting news I no longer have the truck. Yes this is good news. I didn't get the car I really wanted. But the one I got is nice. I'm now the owner (justin the very proud owner) of an 09 Honda Fit. I think I would have liked a civic better but the Fit fit into our budget better. Its small. Much smaller than the truck, but even smaller than the camry. I mean even the civic would have been smaller than the camry. But wow the fit is a lot smaller. Today we put two carseats in it and no way anyone else could fit in the back. In the camry we could squeeze someone else back there. Wouldn't have lasted for a long trip but for local it wasn't bad. I know I was the one in the middle several times. But I have a nice new silver car and not in the truck anymore. I'm happy.

Never take someone for granted
Hold every person close to your heart
Because you might wake up one day
And realize that you've lost a diamond
While you were busy collecting stones...

So last night Justin comes home and says "oh btw I need to get gas in the car". I tell him since someone is coming to look at the car on saturday and seems very interested in buying... and it has almost a full tank of gas... I dont want to give them the car with that much gas in it. I think 1/4 of a tank is more reasonable. So I suggested he drive that one to work this week (or at least a few days). It would save us the money on gas in his car and use up some of what we've already paid for. He told me that sounded like a good idea. So this morning he was all set to take the red car. Until the red car wouldnt' start. He came in and said "baby good thing you told me to take the redcar now I know i need to fix it before saturday. btw I'm taking the truck hope you dont have plans". I said "well actually I do". He cursed and said he'd just get gas. Both of us knowing that he doesn't have time and it will make him late. Not to mention me knowing what our bank account looks like and how we really should put it off at least a week. So he took the truck.

Sesame Street is on its 39th season.

Today's new episode is "Telly's new shoes". With Neil Patrick Harris playing the role of the "shoe fairy". He had an entire song dance scene and everything. very interesting. He was wearing a light colored suit with white wings. I'm sure the mental images are running wild.

apparently there are 721 episodes of sesame street.

We have a three bedroom house. Two are about the same size with different size closets and the third is tiny. When we moved in we took the master and gave Nathan the other big room. At the time we had a pretty large desk, so the third became an "office". Every since we first moved in Nathan has said he didn't like his room. That he wanted the smaller room. At first he wouldn't even sleep in his room. He opted to sleep on the floor in the tiny office. We came extremely close to moving the two rooms. But it made me so sad. That he would have such a tiny room. I didn't think all his toys would fit into the smaller room. I wanted him to have plenty of space to play. I just hated it. So we convienced Nathan to stay in the bigger room. At first it was a real battle. He hated it so much he would throw a fit and cry every night. Eventually he got over that and things seemed fine. We got rid of the desk and got a futon. The room went from "office" to a "family room" of sorts. When Uncle Josh spent a week here he had a place to sleep. It became his room. Nathan referred to is as Uncle Josh's room. Then when Justin's family would come down Uncle Jamison would sleep in there. So it was Uncle Jamison's room. Nathan loved that the futon was down into a bed. And he kept sneaking in there to sleep in Uncle Jamison's room. He started asking if that could be his room again. We asked to make sure it wasn't because of the tv, or the futon. We told him it would mean his bed would move in there and the other stuff would have to move out. He still really wanted it. I reminded Justin that he has always wanted that room. We still waiting like 2 weeks, but last night we switched the rooms. Nathan couldn't be happier. He keeps saying that things look pretty in there and that its so comfy and cozy. This morning he got up and came to tell me that he just had the best sleep ever in his new room.

After we got his room put back together we were left with a mess trying to get everythign to fit the way we wanted in the other room. And Justin says "you know we could make this our room". We talked for a bit more then decided "nah" and just started put things back together. The entire time Justin kept saying "wow I really like this, why didn't we do this to start with". and Nathan kept saying "i love my new room its so comfy". I wanted to kick both of them. Silly boys.

Then I was up there cleaning and putting the rooms together and Nathan was asleep in his new room and Justin had went and gotten on the computer. I got so upset. He was suppose to be helping me. He hadn't even finished any of the task. He doesn't like when I hook up the electronics yet he hadn't done it. And he doesn't like for me to move the heavy stuff, but he wasn't up there with me helping. We got into a pretty good fight about it. Which really sucked since yesterday was our anniversary. Obviously not our wedding anniversary but our other one. We've been together for 3 years.

Nathan's sick. He woke up this morning earlier than normal and came and got into bed with me. I said "Nathan this is way to early... you're going to have to try to sleep a little longer". He said "Mommy I'm just so thirsty". I got him some water and we laid back down. Not long after that he said "Mommy my tummy feels fine" then he threw up all in my bed. I said "oh no your tummy does not feel fine" and we rushed to the bathroom to finish throwing up in the toilet. We just also managed to throw up all down the hallway and in the bathroom floor while we were at it. Not to mention most of it went down the front of him so he was soaked. Pulled the clothes off him. Pulled the stuff off the bed started a load of laundry. Wiped Nathan off and got him clean dry clothes. He threw up some more. Got him to swish some water and then brushed his teeth. Put him into bed. He didn't want me to leave so I laid in his bed with him. He is 3... will turn 4 on October 16th. That's 2 months. In 2 months he will be 4. He was as pale as he has ever been in his entire life. He looked awful. He kept telling me "no mommy I'm not sick. I feel better". Then he would throw up again. He kept saying "I'm thirsty". So he drank a little water, then threw up. A little gatoraid then threw up. He doesn't nap. He stopped napping pretty early. Well sometime around the time we stopped breastfeeding which was between 6-9months. He says "you sleep in the nightsky not the daysky" and he means it. The daysky is for playing and the nightsky is for sleeping. No exceptions. It took me almost 2 hours to convience him that when you are sick and dont feel good that you can "rest" in the day sky and its okay. That its that "rest" that's going to help you get to feeling better. But remember he says he feels ok... that he isn't sick. 2 hours before I could convience him that "yes nathan you really do need to lay down and get some rest so you'll feel better"

So I'm at the foot as his bed. Just watching my little sick guy get some rest, and hopefully his color back.
