Early Bedtime

Bad pic but ready for Bed

 So its 7:30, I put Jaxon in his room for "Bedtime", Me and Jason are gonna eat something and go to bed as well. Jaxon is not liking the fact that its bedtime this early.. I don't know what else to do though, 3am comes really really early.. I hope I am not too exhausted to drive  or find my way home :( I am really not looking forward to this. . 

To Sleep or not to Sleep!

Before mommy woke him

Trying to wake up 

Pretty much fully awake 

So unfortunately Jaxon fell asleep on his own today.. Mean mommy and daddy had to wake him up because I need him to sleep tonight. We have to get up at 3 am to take daddy to work, Jaxon was not a  happy camper. This schedule is going to be very hard for all of us. Our whole life is going to be turned upside down. It is time for daddy to get his license so mommy and Jaxon don't have to get up with him. I don't know how I am gonna make it through this. I have a feeling we are all going to be very tired for a while.. 

Did someone say Chocolate?

our yummy chocolate treats

So we decided to go out to lunch today, We went to "The Buckhorn" which is in the TA truck stop in Troutdale. Super good food, Jason had never been there and it has been quite a few years since I have been there. Jaxon had Spaghetti and Meatballs (which is his new favorite meal), Jason had the fried chicken meal and I had (my favorite) a Reuben and I had homemade clam chowder which was so yummy! Anyway on the way out they have a counter where they sell homemade chocolate truffles and fudge.  We got a few huckleberry, Marrionberry  and raspberry truffles (They were amazing) We also got two chocolate covered caramel and marshmallow bars. I have to say these were my favorite, even though they were super sweet. You cant finish a whole one at once. So therefore I have more for later :)

McDonald's YES!

Jaxon having so much fun 

We spent the early afternoon playing at the McDonalds play place. I think this is one of Jaxon's favorite places. Mommy likes it too, its a free (or cheap) place for Jaxon to work off some energy. He likes playing with the other kids and mommy likes being able to just sit there and have a conversation with daddy :) He had a blast until we had to leave, thats the worst part but we got through it with just a mild melt down.

Bills

So I seriously need to go to PGE today so we still have electricity tomorrow. I wish they understood and had a little leeway for people. You can squeeze blood out of a turnip, ya know? Oh well I gotta do what I gotta do. Hopefully normal full paychecks will start soon and we wont have as much to worry about. After PGE we are gonna head over to my dads house, walk the dog and pick up some cupcakes he made for us.. I love him living close now because he always makes us all sorts of goodies.. Today its Chocolate cupcakes with a whipped peanut butter frosting, which I have to say is probably one of my favorite frosting's of all time.. He also makes a Hazelnut Chocolate Cheesecake that is to die for.. yum yum making myself hungry now :) I guess I should get on with my day and do this more later.. Hope everyone has a wonderful day .

Healthy Dinner

So Jason made pork chops for him and Jaxon for dinner. . I am trying to eat healthier so I made a green salad with a few pieces of chopped up chicken on it and a little cheese. It also had a touch of balsamic vinaigrette on it.  It was very yummy.. I guess eating healthy wont be that bad.  I love fruit and Veggies anyway so this should be easy :) Its being around the food that Jason eats, that's the hard part.

I love you my Jaxon

I felt I absolutely had to post this for all to see! This is dedicated to my son.. Its how I always want our relationship to be :) I love you Jaxon !!

Raspberries

So me and Jaxon are sitting here in bed watching cartoons, We started snacking on some raspberries and we seriously just ate a whole 12oz container of them (Honestly he ate more than me).. They were really really good so I guess its not all bad :)

To top it all off he is asking for more, sometimes I think he has a never ending stomach. He, however is cursed.. or maybe blessed that he hardly gains any weight. I imagine he will grow sooner or later but hopefully his metabolism stays this way through his adult life. I wish I had his metabolism (wouldn't that be wonderful).. I have a feeling we all wish we could just eat whatever we want and not have to pay for it with weight gain :)

Sometimes Life is Frustrating

So really frustrated right now.. Didn't end up making it to the library today, I guess we will try again tomorrow. But Jason's job called him today, Instead of working close to home in Troutdale, which is why he  was hired in the first place. Now he will be working in Swan Island.. Which is way to far away, I don't have the gas for one. He also has to be there at 5:30am every day. So that means I have to get him and Jaxon up at 4am, wow doesn't that sound like fun. I am really not happy with this, but I guess a job is a job but seriously, this is gonna make like hell for a while.. I am gonna need all the strength I can get to make it through this schedule. 

Lunch

Yum! So Jason brought home Safeway Chinese Food for lunch and a corn-dog for Jaxon. I love Chinese food, doesn't matter where it comes from, however my favorite place is Wu's Garden On Cherry park.. The best food ever! So I guess I need to go eat before it gets cold, have a great lunch everyone.. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I am gonna enjoy mine :)

Library Trip (I think)

So today seems to be a very boring day. Jason and Jaxon decided to take a walk to the store, which leaves me, home, alone and in complete silence (this is a very rare occasion).. Unfortunately I know it wont last long. I wish I could just sit here all day and not to anything but that is not what my day has in store for me. I have to go pay some bills (that I cant afford I might add) and daddy told Jaxon we could go to the library today, and Jaxon never forgets so I guess we will be spending time at the library as well. As a child I loved going to and spending time at the library (I still do) However my child doesn't understand the whole "quiet" part of the library. It becomes somewhat embarrassing sometimes but I guess we are still working on it. I understand he is still young, but I guess its more my problem than anything else. I guess its time for me to get ready and eat something. I will let you all know how the library trip turns out.
