Update...

Ok, I finally decided to sit down and do a "REAL" update.

Here's the rundown of my life:

1)CJ - CJ continues to be a joy and I am in awe as I watch him grow and learn. I just can't believe that we "made" him. I love him soo much and I am really just focusing on trying to provide for him and his future and making sure that he grows up to be a responsible, caring and spiritual young man. He is 100% boy! He runs everywhere and just loves going up & down the stairs @ home. He couldn't make his appt. @ Olan Mills last Saturday b/c he has a scar on his cheek from where he fell in the driveway and a big scar on his hand from where he fell in the driveway again the next day, so I rescheduled for 08/04/07. He is still in the bed with us, although I plan to work on that this weekend. He was sick this week. We initially thought his fever was due to teething but after a trip to the pediatrician and another 104F temp, and yet anouther trip to the pediatrician, we found out that he had roseola. I swear children and their little childhood ailments. I guess I have many more of these little things to look forward to. I decided to start early looking at stuff for his Christmas. I really wanted to get him the V-Smile baby last year, the box says ages 9-36 months, but I'm wondering if that will be too baby-ish for him. Maybe not, then I want to get him a playcastle by little tikes. We'll see, but I am gonna start next month on my x-mas shopping so that no one gets left out this year, due to "budget restrictions." Also on my to do list is to nix that dang pacifier. BUt he's down to 2 that haven't been trashed yet, due to him biting holes in them. He found two latex ones that he would not use previously (he liked the silicone ones) and b/c thats all he had, he's using them now. So I keep telling myself that after he bites through these then no more! Hopefully I'll have the willpower and I can stand my ground.

2)Corey- Corey's doing well. Sometimes I wonder about him and if he's really happy. He gets frustrated with his job a lot and I try to tell him that everytime you get frustrated just hopping from job to job, won't solve the problem. Maybe its the industry you're in period. So my suggestion was to take some time and think about what you really have a passion for and try to pursue that. Hell, we only live once! Corey really has a passion for history and politics: two things that I could care less about. I think he'd make an excellent teacher. He has a history degree from GA Southern, so I figured he should just go back to school get his master's and a teaching certificate and go from there. He hasn't done the research yet to decide which program he'd like to do. Other than that, there are my usual gripes: that he doesn't help around the house as much as I'd like, he's stubborn and did I mention he's stubborn. But I love him all the same. We're going to Orlando next month, so I'm excited about that. This will be our first trip ANYWHERE out of town, SANS CJ, so I'm also really concerned about that as well! But I know we need to be ALONE! I wonder sometimes if he misses the sexual dynamic that was there before the baby! I miss is too, but I'm sooo freakin tired these days! I feel bad, but then when I think on all the things he could do to take some of the pressure off of me, then I think he should blame himself. But I know that I have changed alot since the baby, but its not just the baby, its work and not being so careless about my responsibilities now that i have someone who depends on me, then taking care of the household stuff and having to think and plan for 3 people, it really takes its toll on me. So we could definitely use the mini-vaca....

Then there's...

3) ME - I'm currently in the process of trying to get another position @ the Marriott Marquis. This job would be a step in the right direction for my career and my goals with this company. I want to be an event manager and this job would give me a lot more knowledge of the industry and what leads up to the group being assigned to the event manager. Right now, I want to use the experience that I get from Marriott and start my own Event Management business. I don't want to say firm, b/c that sounds a lot bigger than what my plans are. I want to have the flexiblity to set my own schedule and take CJ to school myself, make his field trips, etc and work from home, if it happens that I become bigger than I ever imagined: Yippee!!!! But one step at a time. I need to learn more stuff and get licensed to be a wedding planner. I want to do specialize in : theme weddings and kids' parties and boutique baby showers (no traditional stuff here). So my second interview is today @ 4PM. Then its off to pickup CJ, cook some turkey burgers for dinner and put up the clothes I folded last night. This weekend, CJ & I are headed to the country (Crawfordville, GA - my dad's hometown) to get ready for my Aunt's birthday party that I'm helping him plan - notice a trend here? So I just have to get some last minute decorations before we leave Friday. I'm looking forward to it b/c I get to see my papa and I haven't seen him since March. But I really need to get a moment to myself inspite of everything that's going on. I feel like there's so much stuff that I want to be doing, but I don't have enough time: I wish I went out more with my friends, more with corey, wish i did more stuff by myself and had more time for myself, and more time to do everything that i want to with CJ, but I guess it will all ust work itself out. But in other news, I'm loving the house. Not too big, not too small! When I post pics though, they will be on facebook (gotta love the simple upload thinger) we just got it painted last week, so little by little, i'll be ready to have people over!

So that's what I'm thinking now, hope all my LJ buddies haven't forgotten about me!
