I haven't been on top of these things lately, but I am sure your all dying to know more about me!!!!
I was tagged by my friend Jacie to blog about my top 10 pet peeves.
Here it goes........

1. Slow Drivers
2. People not using their turn signal
3. The clicking of a writing pen, the ones that have the spring loaded ink. Jeff will sit and continuously click it while he's thinking. Drives me crazy!
4. People slamming doors
5. Talking on the phone when there isn't anything to talk about
6. Dirty ears! I always have to clean my ears when I get out of the shower.
7. People touching my feet
8. I have a hard time with people who confide in you and ask for your help and opinion, but do the complete opposite, but they totally agreed with you the whole time your giving your two cents. (not sure if this is considered a pet peeve, but this one is the worst for me.)
9. Not making my bed
10. I have to shower everyday, A MUST!
11. Not having enough strength to open containers. I get so pissed, I sometimes wish I could throw the damn things at the wall.

That was kind of hard!

Jackson Vs. Window

Last night was interesting to say the least. I was in doing the dishes and my friend Lindsey was in our spare/computer room looking up the weather. Her son Owen and Jackson were jumping on the bed and Jackson decides to bang his head on the window. She said he only did it a couple of times and the last one was so hard that Jackson broke it!

He is fine and the child didn't even cry. She brought him out to me and he had a little piece of glass in his forehead, but no tears and a gooses egg on his hair line.

I really don't know what to say about this, but just wanted to share. I am glad that he wasn't hurt and I'm sure I would feel a lot different then I do now, but what a lesson.

2 hours after his accident! How can you stay mad at that face!

Do I see a problem child here?

First Day of School

Thursday morning and we are ready for MDO class! Jackson attended his first day of school yesterday. It's called a Moms Day Out Class, it was more for me but also for him. It was from 9-3 and they got to play, do arts and crafts, eat lunch, take a nap and play some more. He had a really good time, but they did say he cried for the first 45 minutes, he kept saying Momma Dada!

When I went to pick him up yesterday they were on their way out to the play yard. I talked to one of the teachers and she said he did really well, he didn't eat much of his lunch but had a couple servings of apple sauce. Which is surprising because he won't eat apple sauce for me.

They then took a nap after lunch and it's just like nap time when I was in school. A little cot and a sheet. She said he cried up until 1:45 and finally fell asleep! He got up at 2:15 and was the last to wake up. He isn't very good at the sleep thing lately, but I am very proud of him for his efforts!

I do have to say that yesterday was a good day, but I missed him terribly. I found myself looking at the clock every five minutes, but I managed!

Kids

I tell you! I turn my back for 2 minutes and this is what he decides to do! I'm not kidding, I called a friend to see if she wanted to meet at the gym and as I hang up, I don't hear Jackson anywhere. So naturally I call his name and there's no answer. So I start looking in every room! This is what I find! He is standing in our sink and playing with my face soap. This isn't the first time he's done this, but it is the last. As you can see I don't have much around the sink and that's because of him.

January

First thing, sorry I haven't posted! There really hasn't been anything exciting this month!
When we got home from California, we spent the first week trying to catch up on sleep and just re cooping.

Jeff is finally done with all of his check rides! He did his first cross country flight to Shreveport and Batonrouge Louisiana this month. Now he is pretty relaxed and waiting for Track Select. Which isn't that big of a deal for us since he already knows what plane he's going to.

Jackson started sleeping by himself this month! Yeah!!!! This was my task for the month and we succeeded! I now just read to him and simply give him a kiss and say goodnight! It took a week for it to be perfected, but in time! He is talking up a storm and the newest word that he says is Tank wu (thank you) it is so darn cute! Grandma B got him to say "please" when she was here in October and I always wondered when those 2 words would come next. we are also working on our ABC's and 123's. If I say A he says, ABC!

Me on the other hand, I've just been working with Jackson and waiting for Jeff to finish his T6 training. This month has been so rewarding for me as a Mom. I have been so patient with Jackson and the persistence that I have put in to teaching him new things has really paid off. I truly see why people decide to have another kid at this age. He is truly a good kid! Other then that, I am just waiting for our next trip to California!

I talked to Jeff about New Years Resolutions and if he was going to make any. He said he doesn't believe in them because they are always broken. Well, I thought of a few things and thought I would share them with you.
*Read 5 books this year
*Attend the Gym at least twice a week
*Get organized

Those seem to be ones that I could do and for crying out loud I read 4 books in October, so why can't I read 5 in 1 year!
I don't have any pictures to share, but check back soon! Jackson has a big date on Thursday! He is attending his first class at the Child Development Center here on base. It's from 9-3 and they will feed him lunch, snacks and he will take a nap! I will post that later in the week!
