Promotion!

Matt just got a promotion, big surprise to all of us. We knew that there was a lot of talk about Matt's future with Hillcrest, but we thought it would be a while. Well, yesterday he calls to tell me the good and the bad news.
Bad News: He will no longer be the Stroke Coordinator :(
Good News: He will be the Stroke Coordinator's boss!
He went into a meeting with his boss and his boss' boss and they want to make him some title that I have no idea how to repeat or really explain. All I know is there is a raise and he will have people under him. I am so proud of him. He is really working his way up in Hillcrest.
Our big hope now is that he can quit Providence and maybe TOSA. We just have to play the game with our credit card company, you know the one where they screw you and you take it. Well we are hoping to make that game stop and start playing another one where we don't get screwed at all.
Adelaide really needs daddy to be home. On his last weekend off, he threw on some scrubs to work out in the garage in and she threw the biggest fit because she thought he was going to work. This morning she smacked his shoes and told him no. When he went to tell her bye, she ran away screaming no. It is soo sad :( Not to mention we are about to have another baby and having daddy home would be the greatest thing ever.
Anyways... My husband rocks!

Wake Up Call

I just need to vent a little bit.
I am going to start calling and texting people at 6am, when they are asleep. Because I am kinda tired of people thinking that they should call or text me at 11pm, 2am, etc... I give a big exception to my little brothers or friends in need of a shoulder. But to people who think that it is a good time to text "how are you doing?" All I have to say is "I was sleeping like a little baby until you decided that this was a good time to wake me up and piss me off."
So, here's to the next person that wakes me up with a call or a text, because I will be waking your ass up next.
Sorry, it's just happened a little too much lately.

Sandra Blanchard

Seriously, will I ever get used to the name change?
It's only been 2 months but it's weird. I just sent myself an e-mail, so in my inbox it showed Sandra Blanchard and the name looked so foreign to me. I still refer to myself as Sandra Smith on accident. Matt has jokingly threatened to divorce me so I can keep Smith as my last name, since I appear to like it so much. The only thing that isn't too weird is writing it because I have been practicing for the past 5 years.
It's just kooky!

Malorie's 15th Birthday Party

My youngest sister had her 15th birthday party yesterday and I was super jealous. She had a boy/girl dance, with a DJ, and all the works. The only parties I had were sleep-overs (we grew up with different parents though). It was so funny to see them all interact. You had the boys on one side and the girls on another. Girls dancing with girls, everyone sharing little secrets about each other, the shy kids in the corner. I wish I could relive those days, but at the same time I am so glad they are over.
Adelaide had an absolute blast. She danced and played the entire night. She even found herself a little 15 year old boy she slow danced with, it was sooo cute. I got to teach Matt how to two-step and we had a cute family dance with the three of us. The best part of the whole night was of course 5 minutes after leaving when we looked in the backseat and little Addie was passed out snoring. She even slept through putting on a diaper and pj's.

My youngest brother, Mason and I. He was upset cause his smile wasn't that cute, whatever he is adorable.

Adelaide was seriously the center of attention.

Happy Birthday To Me!

Yesterday was just about the best birthday I have ever had. The whole day was easy and peaceful.
Matt and I got up early (before Adelaide) and spent time together. Matt and Adelaide spent the whole morning singing "Happy Birthday" to me. Adelaide and I did some grocery shopping and she was a very, very good girl. We all went out to lunch together at On the Border and I got my fajita and queso action on. Matt took off the afternoon to spend with us. He helped me clean the house up while Adelaide napped. For dinner Matt made me steak and shrimp and we had strawberry cheesecake for my "birthday cake." Of course Adelaide went to bed peacefully and I got to have some cuddle time with Matt. Let's not forget that my little brother made sure my message me Happy Birthday at 12:02am, I got tons of loving Happy B-day messages from my awesome friends and family.
Still birthday related is my cool present. I bought a sewing machine, technically it is my birthday present from Matt. I have made some cute burp cloths for the new baby. today I finished a dress for Adelaide and I am super proud of myself.

YAY, my life is PIMP!

30 Something

Matt and I went to JoAnn Fabrics today and while we are picking out a pattern to make scrubs a young lady walks up to us.
"You look like you are in the age group I am polling, 30 something right?"
WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!
Matt will be 30 in September, so not too insulting for him to hear but she was talking to me. I am 26, 27 on Tuesday but I am not "30 something." It's fine if somebody thinks I am 30, but "30 something?" What age do I look like exactly? I was severly insulted and she looked like she was 23 or so, not too much younger than me.
Of course I was nice, "no, I'm in my 20's" and I answered her question. But still...
