Is June over already?

Oh Spanish... Why do I loathe thee? I should be doing Spanish homework. No. Thank. You.

I am such a procrastinator about EVERYTHING! Why is that? I have been working on this Tech stool for literally weeks and am still not done... I think I am so ADD that I just get bored so easily and have to move on to the next thing. There are so many great/creative ideas and thoughts going on in this little head of mine that I feel like if I dont pick up and leave my current project to start the next I will forget about it, and then it will never get started. What is worse is that I have 54,865 started projects and finish like 50% of them!

Thank you cards from one of my showers and wedding, are sitting on my desk in front of me... ALL written and complete, just not addressed or stamped... this is one example... This very blog is an example of me starting something without finishing something else. This idea came to me when I was supposed to be cleaning the bedroom... guess what? The bedroom never got finished.

Lately I have just been keeping myself busy to not feel alone. Cody has been at work literally everyday all day. Its exhausting... I didn't picture marriage this way. But... Tonight we watched one of "our shows" together thats been on DVR for 2 weeks now, and we went to have dinner together... We tried to go to Olive Garden but it was a 35 minute wait at 6:00 for 2 people... even the bar was full.... who sits at a bar to eat? So we opted for a more healthy choice... but not without leaving with this little gem of a purchase...

Oh Yea! So after we purchased the most delicious salad dressing in the world we went to Jason's Deli, where I asked Cody if I could take it in and use it and he replied "Absolutely not!"... I had ranch instead. He doesn't get my humor entirely... and alwasy ask why I am so loud?

While we were there, there was a pregnant woman about to pop! I asked Cody what he was going to do when I was that pregnant one day... here's our convo...

Me: Will you think my pregnant belly is cool?

Cody: I dunno?

Me: Well I will think it is so cool.

Cody: Stop staring at her belly! Yea your belly might be cool.

Me: Im not staring Im just looking at it!

Cody: Thats staring!

Me: Look at her poor back, its curved because her belly is so big... are you going to talk to my belly!?

Cody: Emily, I dont know just please quit staring, why do you always stare?

Me: (Completely ignoring him) Well I will definitely talk to the belly!

I don't know how he puts up with me! I am so happy we got to spend tonight together, even if it is just The Challenge and Jason's Deli! I wouldnt take it any other way! It gets hard him never being home and then wanting to go to bed right when he gets home, but I love him none the less! He is the greatest man I know... besides my daddy!

Well... Until Next Time!

Growing up is for the Birds.... but I kinda LIKE it!

Well... For starters yesterday I babysat 4 little girls for 8 hours... you're probably thinking who would leave their children with Emily? But I am here to toot my own horn and say it went pretty damn well!

Thursday evening when I remembered I committed to these shenanigans I was thinking oh crap why did I do this? I hate waking up early!! But I slipped on my big girl panties and kept my word!

Upon arriving it was quiet in the house and I was thinking "Am I about to be ambushed?" but turns out, all were still sleeping beauties. About ten minutes later the first ferrell child arrived out of her bedroom wiping the sleep from her eyes. She is so tan and has the blondest hair and it just looks like she runs around naked all day to be that tan... and trust me... she does. Shortly after... the other three were awake and raring to go....

I should have gotten a coffee.

So we went outside and "we" played on the swing set... Do people under the age of 10 not realize were in Texas and its flippin' HOT!? So in a bind (My bind being I'm hot... like thats a real bind...) I decided hey.. you know whats a great idea? Taking four babies under the age of seven to Wal- Mart... but it happened.

After my gut turning with worry maneuvering through the parking lot with four little girls we FINALLY made it inside. We (Or I) decided that sidewalk chalk would be our purchase... who knew their were 15 different varieties of sidewalk chalk to bamboozle me and four babies? So we (They) sat in the Crayola aisle arguing about chalk for a good five minutes... the littlest (two years old, also the "ferrell" child) likes to just mimic the others, just for the sake of being included in an argument. So I make and executive decision and get "washable" chalk... 16 colors... isn't all chalk washable... if not Crayola was really sold on the idea of advertising the ability of this chalks washiness...

We finally get up the register while the oldest is still questioning my ability to say no to 3D... I assure her it's not really 3D... the glasses werent even blue and red.... she didn't believe me... I wouldn't believe me either! So then low and behold is a whole  rack of candy... they were fifty cents to a dollar so after a good two seconds of them hounding me about candy I give in, I knew that was a battle I would never win! So of course for my lack of back bone I'm almost sure God told them to get the gooiest stickiest candy ever known to man... and they did.

When we got back in the bus... I mean expedition... The baby of the group informed me that my new husband was her new boyfriend and she wanted to see him... So we headed over to Mark Dean's and I picked up four lemonades (put it on my tab..) Cody was busy with paying delivery guys so we didn't end up seeing him, but the lemonade and candy had her occupied so we were good!

Finally we head back home, and we made lunch, played with chalk, ate lunch, watched Tangled, and then I took them swimming at my mom's. I'm happy to report there were no drownings, no fights, only a few bossy comments to one another, and they had a great time!

I realize that after wiping snot, finding pizza behind one of their ears (a good two hours after lunch), and being treated like a constant jungle gym... My baby fever is stronger than ever. Their mother asked me if it was good birth control and it was quite the opposite. I loved every minute of it, I never thought of myself as motherly but after yesterday I can't stop thinking about the love a parent must feel from a child. While we were swimming one of the middle girls told me "This was the best day, you're my best friend ever" it melted my heart! I just cant wait to have my own... but I will be having to... Thanks for nothing Cody Dean!

After that eventful day (8 hours of it...) The bar that I worked at before Cody let me be a stay at home doggy mom (My cousin's bar) called and guilt-tripped me into working... I used to LOVE bar life... LOVE it... but now after working from 10pm-2am and being there until 3:30am... I realized... the idiot drunks that once made for good entertainment, now only confuse me, make me nervous, and work my nerves. If you cant make it to the zoo this summer because of the heat, just head behind the bar at 1:45am sober... I think God knew I was struggling with not working, so he presented me with this opportunity of work again to remind me of how much I don't belong in that kind of atmosphere anymore...  I don't know if it is like this for everyone else but with age I become more and more worrisome and nervous about everything... 

Maybe it is the realization of consequences, and thinking about things more thoroughly. As a child/teenager I was careless and just looking for fun, and now getting older I am a nervous damn wreck all the time! I think it was good that my first babysitting experience was not until I was 23... Maybe if it were before then I would realize how much I liked caring for babies... and that couldn't have turned out well...

Well... Until next time...

My First Blog.... Here goes nothing...

So this is my first blog...

I wanted something to fill my time at night because Cody is an early bird, and I am a night owl... I can never get to sleep at a decent hour... Ive always fought sleep, I think my mind just runs wild when I finally settle down at night... I guess I will never be the one to get the worm!

I also felt that this would be a great way to document the ups and downs of our first year of marriage! Hopefully its mostly ups, but adjusting to married life has not been the easiest thing for me so far. Cody wants me to focus on school and getting to the grand day of graduation! It seems so far away but next May I will be a college grad! AT LAST!

In the mean time I am jobless and semi-bored, by choice I guess... Not having my "own" money, and solely relying on another person just hasn't settled with me yet... its taking some getting used to, but I feel like I am almost there. So many people have said, "I would love to not work!" but its not all its cracked up to be! Trust me!

Aside from being bored, I love to write, always have! One of the reasons I am super excited about this blog... that and because I get to talk about Myself!! Cody thinks this blog is silly and "doesnt want his name being thrown around with all of our business..." Ha, he is such a little old man. Cody is an old soul. He is super traditional, and that is one of many reasons I love him. He doesn't let anyone compromise his beliefs, AND he puts up with my crazy ass... can I say ass on my blog?

I'm almost at a loss for words right now... nothing to exciting happened today... So I don't feel like I have anything to write about...

My Day consisted of....
Waking up...
Letting the dogs out (We are babysitting Cody's parents house and dogs)
Going to Clase de Espanol!
Going to get a steroid shot... right in the hiney... (Sinus Infection.... bleh!)

These were some of the shoes I saw in the doctors office, probably because I am the only patient in that office that is under 60... I do not tell lies!

Coming back home...
Working on the Tech stool ... (A little side Bizzzz... I can paint anything on a stool if anyone is interested!)

Then going to eat at Boorays with two of my favs... Mal and Cody!

Now I am just working on this... I want it to be fun for me, and fun for others to read... any blogger's suggestions out there!? Fill me in!

Until Next Time!
