To dye for.....hopefully!?!

So its been probably the longest week in existance, so im pretty glad to get to relax finally this weekend. I actually dont have in plans for the first time in weeks, kind of a bummer, but the budget is tight soooo penny pinch we must. I did however spluge at Wal-mart earlier and picked up a box of hair dye and highlight kit, im pretty confident it should turn out good. I just feel like i need a little change to mix it up a bit, make me feel sassy. So i will now proceed with the first step of all over color, and tomorrow will be the cap, i would probably fall asleep with bleach on my hair if i tried to do it all tonight......Wish me luck!

Oh my geez!

So I'm currently on my lunch break, on my iPhone blogging. I'm am totally stoked about this too, how freakin badass is this phone!

Well Sydneys party went over great with a few hitches, but all in all it was great. She LOVED her cake, I mean she tore into that thing so hard she had icing in her bellybutton. I'm so glad that my friends got to come, we are very fortunate we have the friends and family we do, they are so unbelivably supportive of me, I don't think I could survive without them!

This week has been crazy because I have been in training for work all week and away from the office, I miss those girls, howevrr insane we all are, they keep me sane and constantly laughing too! All in all it been a crazy busy week, but I can't wait to get back in the normal groove next week with my kind of crazy people.

To My Sunshine!

So I'm really really excited because today is Sydneys 1st Birthday!!! I cant believe my baby girl has grown sooo much! Im really sappy today because i can't believe that a year ago today i was in the hospital going through labor. It was the happiest day of my life, and I am SO thrilled that she has been such a beacon of light in my life. She really has made me a much better person, and I cant imagine where I would be without her! I owe everything I have accomplished to her, she has been my inspriation! Sydney I love you SO much, and you truley are my sunshine!!! I LOVE YOU!!!

Your my cuppycake....

Sooo this will be my inspiration for Sydney's cupcakes for her birthday party on Saturday. The party is decorated in pink and green with polka dots....all in all SUPER DUPER cute! The treat bags i made up for the party are really really cute also, but i cant put pics up yet, it could ruin the surprise. It may not be very Martha Stewart, but i think i did a pretty good job seeing as I'm not the crafty sister. Big ups to me.....I'm patting myself on the back. I will post TONS of pictures of the final results on the decorations.......I Can't believe this is Sydney's first birthday, this year has gone by SO fast! I think I'm tearing up.....

Soooo i just thought i would post one of THE most ADORABLE picutres of Syd that i have taken in a while.... This picture captures her happy go lucky personality. It just makes me smile soooo big and my heart ache everytime i see it! Gah i love this girl!

I realized after i posted last night i realized i didnt explain what Sydneys part was in the recital on Friday. She will be a clown in the finale, and i will be helping her attempt to tumble....we both might take a tumble in the process. I will post a picture of the great costume my wonderful mother sewed for her!! Im super excited!

Awww i have a new puppy!!!

Sydney's First Cupcake!

OK...so not really....but Sydney sure does a great impression of one i believe. I don't exactly know when i heard this sound for the first time, but i really, really wish it was also the last. I guess she has learned this at daycare, along with the wonderful game...."pop mommy in the face repeatedly", but i really believe she is hitting a high C when she makes it. It is really uncanny how much she sounds like a puppy that has been shut out of its owners bedroom.....however i cant lock Sydney out of the bedroom...shrugs oh-well. I'm not quite sure how i can get her to stop this whining because i don't want her to be one of "those" children...that sounds bad, but its true. I have started trying to discipline the hitting by putting her in a 1 min timeout either in the crib or playpen....this destroys her world!!

In other news.....I'm super nervous about this Friday, really this weekend in general. First and foremost, i have a dance recital on Friday evening.....insert cheers and applause here! This however means i have dance practice Wednesday after work where i will also practice with Sydney for her finale skit (fingers crossed)! Thursday, dress rehearsal starting at 2-6, i might just pass out i believe. Finally the big Day...dum dum dummmmm.........Dance Recital at 6:30 pm & SYDNEY'S FIRST BIRTHDAY!!!!!! (sings happy birthday loudly here!!!)

So after this whole hectic schedule i then have to host Sydney's birthday party....omg this better turn out good because I'm broke because of it! Saturday morning i will roll out of bed at about 6 am to start the morning routine and baking the cupcakes for the party. I will then instruct someone to go gather the balloons at Wilson 5 and dime or they can babysit....I'm hoping they go for babysitting. The deadline is to be at the park shelter no later than 3:15 to decorate. And my wonderful sister Cyndi is making the most adorable banner....what can i say, she's crafty!

Goodness Gracious i hope this doesn't drive me over the edge!

Ahhh a relaxing mothers day.....ha says who?

So i have never blogged before in my life....i really didn't think that i would ever start, but i guess for my own sanity's sake i will vent all of my life's frustrations. Let me start out by introducing myself, I am Heather, and i have a beautiful daughter who will be a year old on May 15. Her name is Sydney and let me say, she is way to much like me! She is stubborn, silly, and even all together frustrating sometimes! Nonetheless i love her with all my heart.

So this devious daughter of mine i believe has it in for me today. See she doesn't realize that it is my first mothers day. Being the day that it is, i was expecting relaxation, pampering, and hopefully a happy baby.....definitely not the case. So she starts off the day by waking mommy up at 4:30, mind you i had a night out last night with one too many drinks, so mommy didn't want to open a eye lid at 4 am let alone make a bottle. So i drag myself to the kitchen, make a bottle and drag myself back to her crib. Lucky me, this bottle gives me an extra 3 hours of sleep, SCORE! Normally i sleep in until 6:10 am on the weekends. So this was a real treat.

We then proceeded to go to breakfast with my mother for mothers day. And of course my daughter flirts with everyone she sees in the line and attempts to pull over the restaurant sign in the process. I don't have the funds to pay for that, so not a good idea. Finally our table is ready, insert sigh of relief here! We get to the table and she would like everything on the table to be on the floor.....she has a secret knack for Feng Shui i guess. And then once the food arrives she wants everything on her face and lap rather than in her mouth. This spread consists of, pancakes....note to self, NEVER pour syrup around a 1 year old again! And hot grits, that disaster was avoided thankfully, and some nice runny eggs that are sure to get in all of the easy to get to crevices. We got out alive and sticky, all is well with the world!

Skip to shopping with mommy.....ahh she needs practice with this! Everything, i mean everything i pick up the girl wants.....honey these pants wont fit you, and you are definitely not chewing on my future clothing....even though I'm sure you will spit up on it some day anyway, but let me break it in a little first please. As i take these pants away from her sticky syrupy grip she wails like i have just put her Miss Rabbit through the shredder. I quickly lower my head, walk into the wind, and leave the store as quickly as possible before i am committed on the scene.

Back at home....SCORE she is asleep in the car seat......ah man someone is weed whacking next door......fingers crossed she stays asleep. And she is awake as i unbuckle her belt, of course. Jump to two hours later....still standing in the crib watching TV and decides to wail anytime she sees in form of life, including the cat, move outside her door. Finally i give in and decide to rock her to sleep and she is out in 5 min. So much for my strong will of her falling asleep on her own, sometimes its more exhausting waiting it out. Now if she is 14 still wanting to be rocked, then ill have some issues....and she might get those funny looks in school too.

She keeps it interesting and me sleep deprived, except for this morning, i got my three extra hours, so i can conquer the world now. muhahhaa.
