The Update.

So, I lost access to my blog a few weeks ago. My hotmail, gmail, and facebook were all hacked by some low life with nothing better to do. But I've got all the accounts back now so here is the update!

First of all, my original goal was to lose 36 lbs. I've lost 28 total. :) Since last July ish. So that is going great. :) I had hit a plateau for awhile but it seems I am back on track.

I'm dating someone new. He's amazing. That's all the info you need there. ;)

I finished my Medical Assisting program and externship. Still applying for jobs; and "unemployed" for the first time since I was 15. The free time is soooo strange to me, but its nice to stay home with Ryder. I also watch my friends kiddo's a few times a week, so I guess I don't really get toooo bored. :)

Ryder bug is as happy and healthy as ever! Almost completely potty trained, and LOVING having all this extra time with mommy! He's still adapting to the divorce I think. He's gone through a bossy phase, mean phase, and now a "baby" phase all in the last couple months. A lot of that could just be "terrible two" stuff, but one has to wonder if the divorce has effected him too. Poor kiddo. What a trooper.

That's life in a nut shell. It's beautifully chaotic, blissfully unpredictible, and amazingly still worth my time. ;)

Ryder Man

Ryder is officially 2 1/2! ....as of a couple weeks ago. Just a tad behind. :/

Here is an update on my handsome little man:

Ryder weighs 37 lbs. and is 39 inches tall! His head circumference is 21.5 inches. All three of these stats are above the 95th percentile. :) Still got a tall/stocky boy on my hands. :)

He is still such a laid back kid. He gets along really well with other kids, isn't shy at all like his mom was as a kid, but he is starting to get a bit of a "2-year-old attitude". He knows what mommy says when he's in trouble and gets sent to time-out and now tries to say it back to me. Which lets be honest, is kinda cute...

"Mom, you can't talk to Ryder like dat! You have to be NICE!" The only difference is, he tells me these things when HE doesn't want to do something; Like at naptime, or when he has to try and go potty.

Speaking of Potty. *Rolls Eyes* Who knew potty training would be such a battle!! And I can't really blame the little guy. Between being home, daycare, with grandma, or at daddy's, it's a lot of places to have to get used to using the potty at. But we're still trying!!

As a parent of this amazing little man, I really have no complaints! He's smart, laid back, friendly, outgoing, adaptable, inquisitive, handsome, and so so much fun. I lucked out. :) Ryder Crew- Mommy Loves YOU!!!!!!!

All I need.

There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch, it's bringing me out the dark
Finally I can see you crystal clear
Go 'head and sell me out and I'll lay your shit bare

See how I leave with every piece of you
Don't underestimate the things that I will do.

This is not the place for the details. This is also not a place of "shit talking". All I'm gonna say is yes i'm getting divorced and yes i'm ok with it. Dodged a bullet really. Op! Have I said too much?


Ryder is the only thing I need in my life. I will build a wonderful life for him, and he will always know that he can count on me.
