Our Past Week....

We had a great week! School was good, dance was good, everything was just good...nothing bad! *haha* Tad is home..He came home last Friday because they switched his rig again. Which is a good thing since his new rig is in MS. Shorter drive and less money we have to fork out for gas! Makes me much happier that I don't have to worry about Tad on that long drive anymore to Texas! Anyway, I'm taking an Art Appreciation class online, and I've known for about a month that I had to do a art project due on Wednesday. Well, of course I wait until Wednesday to do it!!! I CAN NOT DRAW I repeat I CAN NOT DRAW!!!! It doesn't matter if I spent a week working on that project I really don't think that it would have been much better than I did it in just a couple of hours. I cannot draw stick people...How in the world am I supposed to draw the Mona Lisa? I mean COME ON!!! I never made higher than a "B" in my high school art class, I think she just felt sorry for me and let me have a B. But Its over and its turned in! Thank goodness!!!! Wednesday night I didn't sleep a wink! So, when it was time for me to get up on Thursday morning for school, I felt horrible. My left ear hurt, I was sleepy, and sneezed my head off about 30 times I think! I made it to school and Math Class was absolutley STRESSFULL. I have never learned to much math within an hour and a half in my whole entire lifetime! I thought my brain was going to explode. So, after math I went to my evolutionary psy. class and the teacher wasn't there so we watched a video on the evolution of diseases. Very interesting I must say! Mother, Gail, and Sam were in Dothan all visiting doctors... So I met them and we went to the mall to shop. None of us really got much...I did get some sandals for $15 at Dillards which are Gianni Bini...I thought that was a steal!:) Friday Mother, Brayden and I went to Lowe's after she got home from work to get some blinds for my house. We have those cheap white blinds that came with our trailor, and Brayden has torn them to pieces! I want some better ones that he wouldn't be able to mess these up. I only bought 2 sets since they are kind of pricey. These will go in our bedroom and we will work our way down to Brayden's room to replacing the blinds. Today, Tad is with Josh Carnley at the Auburn Game...He has been so excited all week long about this game. It started Monday...and by Tuesday morning I was ready for Saturday!haha...But I'm happy that he's getting to go since he hasn't been able to go in the past couple of years. I hope he has a good time and enjoys being around all the Auburn Fans!!!WARRRR EAGGGLLEEE!

This was last Saturday, we were planning on having company for the game that night, so I decided to make cookies and Brayden wanted to help!! :)

He had soo much fun, but wanted to eat all of it!

Brayden had a blast playing outside while Daddy cooked us supper for the Auburn game last weekend!

Brayden doesn't like to get his hands dirty at all...

Pinapples for Breakfast! He wanted this and nothing else!

Brayden Pierce looking like his daddy!

He demanded that he feed himself this morning...Needless to say that we had grits EVERYWHERE!

My sweet Baby Boy was soo sleepy, and had been playing hard that morning!

Aggrevation and much more...

Tad left this morning about 6 and I started missing him as he was pulling out of the yard. I didn't go to school today because I didn't have a babysitter and so Brayden and I got to spend some time together. I took him to Aunt Gail around 2:15 and when Aunt Sam got out of school she picked him up for and took him home. She was going to the Ladies Night Out at Southside I think it was tonight so she brought Brayden and Oki to me at 6:15 to the dance studio. We all know that my week at dance last week was horrible and just from being there today...its going to be a much worse week! I love my girls and I would miss them very much if I weren't there, but I honestly can't take much more. It seems like everything that I do to try and help out that it doesn't matter at all. Well, I've decided to stop trying to go that "extra" mile. I will hopefully be starting my Senior year at Troy in January and I honestly don't know what my schedule will be, and I'm pretty sure that I've got to start putting my foot in the door somewhere for a job after I graduate. When I'm at school and dance during the week I feel like I have NO time for Brayden or Tad. It makes me sad because Tad understands that I'm tired, but Brayden doesn't and I'm just not used to that... The summer was great I only went to school 1 day a week and I didn't have dance...I got to spend so much time with Brayden and Tad and it felt great! Now, I just feel like I'm pretty useless because I've always got to be doing something whether it be for school or its me going that "extra" mile for dance...Brayden's asleep right now and looks soo peaceful...I wish I could sleep like that, I couldn't tell you the last time I have slept all night. The sad thing is Brayden has always slept through the night, maybe the first month of his life he got up once, but that was about it. Stress is just overtaking my life and I hate it...and I feel like I can't get rid of it. On a better note....When Tad comes home next week we are leaving for the beach for 2 days when I get out of school on Thursday and coming home on Saturday! I'm soo excited about having some time with my little family and playing on the beach ;) We thought about staying until Sunday, but I really thought about and Sunday is for being with your church family and being in the most wonderful place...God's House! Thats more important to us than being at the beach an extra day. I'm hoping to take Brayden to the gulfarium while we are down there, probably on Saturday before we come home. He's going to love it, he loves fish and its soo funny when you ask him what a fish says...I'm hoping things will get better this week...all I can do is pray...so I'm praying HARD. Well, I'm going to try and lay down with my precious boy and go to sleep...doubt it....I hope everyone has a good rest of the week! :)

Just another Monday..

We had a great weekend! On Friday, Tad and I spent some time together...We went grocery shopping at Wal-Mart and then had lunch at Howard's...YUMMY! After lunch, He went and played golf with our Sunday School teacher Brother Ralph, and I went and picked up Brayden and did some errands around town. Thank goodness Brayden was feeling much better! He woke me up at 1:30 Thursday morning burning up...his temp. wasn't that high but he did NOT feel good at all. I didn't go to school on Thursday since he was sick and I don't like to leave him when he's sick. I did have to go to dance that afternoon, but I wasn't away from him very long! Anyway, Tad helped Will Mack on the race car Friday night, so Tiffany came over to see us and we had a good time talking and catching up since I don't see her for a month when Traveler is home. Tiffany, Brayden and I went to Dothan Saturday shopping and had lunch at Chili's...one of my very favorite places to eat because its soo good and soo cheap! Neither one of us bought much, but what we bought was on sale! :) I love to bargain shop! I got Brayden the cutest little Brown jacket for $5 at Old Navy, it reminds me of the jacket I wanted to buy from the Kellys Kids catalog! Sunday we went to church and started our Revival, and of course it was GREAT! If you can make it this week you def. should! I'm not sure if we're going tonight simply because Tad has to leave bright and early in the morning to go back to work, and I have to work the other 2 nights. :( I'm hoping this week while he is gone will go by pretty fast since when he comes home we are going to the BEACH for a couple of days! I'm so excited and going to the beach before it turns cold on us! My mother and I are also having a yard sale October 2, so we've got to get busy getting things together for it. Overall, everythings going really good in the Tisdale household! I did have a bad week at dance and I really hope that it gets better this week. School, Dance, being a mommy, and being a wife is really a FULL TIME job! I love spending time with my family and being able to see them all the time and I LOVE living so close to everyone. :) I hope everyone has a blessed week and don't work to hard! *haha* :)

Letting it Out...

This will be VERY short...but I just want to say that people should have respect. And it really upsets me on how some people treat their elders, and it doesn't even seem to bother them. I may lose respect for someone, but I will NEVER disrespect them to their face. I don't want to do that and God doesn't want me to do that either. I guess I'm very oldfashioned and maybe believe in a lot of differnt things that some, but I know what the right thing to do is! I don't understand why people always want to be on top of things and want everyone to know everything about them...People amaze me everyday and thats one reason my major is psychology is to figure out all these questions that I have and the things that I do not understand why humans do things for. I also don't care to live my life by thinking that I have to "keep up with the Jones"everyone knows that saying and alot live by it.... For whoever reads this and is a social climber, I'm sorry that you feel that you need to be that way! I'm having a really hard time with some issues right now and just don't quite understand some things, but maybe in time I will. As for right now, I know God is by my side and is going to watch over me and help do the RIGHT THING! I'm not trying to offend anyone, but I just needed to get this off my chest!

Happy 2 year Anniversary!

Yesterday was Our 2 year Anniversary, and Tad was at work since his schedule got changed. Which is okay, I wasn't bummed about it since he will be home on Wednesday morning. We have been through alot the past 2 years and it sure hasn't been the easiest 2 years either. Through it all we still are together and love each other so much and have the sweetiest and cutest little boy together. Nobody ever said marriage was easy and it's def. NOT! Everything needs work and hard work at that, but we've managed it and got through it. I know that God put us together for a reason, but I have yet to figure out why he put to stubborn hard headed people together! haha... We are both only children and I will admit that we are both spoiled rotten...and will probably never change. I can already tell through Brayden that he is going to be way worse than Tad and I put together! Thats okay though:) I love Tad with all my heart and he makes me so happy that he works so hard for Brayden and I so that I don't have to get a "real" job until after I finish college. He has to be the best husband...He cooks...He MOPS...He vaccums...He cuts grass..and lots more. I like to cook but he seems to like it more than I do so I just let him do it for me. The whole mopping the floors...I've never done so he does it for me...I think he thinks I will make a mess or something :) Overall, he's a lot of help around the house, but when it comes to a dirty diaper he hands Brayden to me... :) He says it makes him sick, or either he will change it but he needs my assistance! haha... Tad and I didn't have a wedding..we just did the reception deal which was really nice. I do want a wedding one day when we renew our vows maybe at our 5 yr anniversary or something. I just want to experience finding the "right" dress with my momma! I think every girl should experience that if they are able too. We got married Sept.5 '08 and had our reception Oct. 25 '08. Tad and I were married 8 months before Brayden arrived..so we didn't get that whole honeymooners feel really. Thats okay...we didn't need it..Brayden is so much better. :)
