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. :)

Tad and I at Shuckums in PC

This was Christmas 2007..Our first Christmas together.

Tad took me to my first Auburn game, We camped out at Auburn and had the best time:)

This was formal night on the Cruise we went on in May of 2008.

Back to the busy life....

Brayden brought some change to me on Friday afternoon that I guess he wanted to take to the game with him, needless to say it was Mexican money..he did keep it in his pocket all day though.
He thought he should put a bump it in his hair to make it look fuller for the pep rally. haha

Mommy and Brayden playing while Daddy was at work..we have nothing better to do.. :)

Well we have got back into our routine a little bit with me starting back at Troy/Dothan, which is a relief. I've started back to zumba twice a week from missing alot this summer because he being gone, and I've been working really hard at the dance studio. I have almost got everything ready for shoe week, I just need to set everything up now. We are still adjusting to Tad being gone every other week, but it seems to be becoming easier for me. He came home Wednesday night and had to leave again Saturday morning...So, we didn't get to spend a whole lot of time together. We did make it to eat at Howard's and the Football game on Friday. I have missed Howards...its by far my favorite place to eat in Opp. This was Brayden's second football game, I took him to one last year but he was too little to know anything. This year he is older and he loved it! He is turning into a complete mess these days. He said Izzy the other night and of course my mother was soo happy. She has been waiting on that since he started saying PawPaw. I asked him the other day if he wanted to go home and he said "home" it was too cute. He can also say work...Since Tad is gone alot I figured he should know where his daddy is. Everyone asks me what he's getting for Christmas and I guess he's getting a DS and an Ipod since he has to have mine all the time. My little 16 month old is high tech and wants what his mommy has.

This was Brayden at the game on Friday night, the only time he would come to is when somebody would walk by and run into them... :)

He loves to sit in the recliner with the DS with a blanket and a pillow.

The Bottle went Bye Bye!

Brayden is a little over 16 months old and still refuses to drink milk out of anything other than his bottles! I packed all his bottles up and we're putting them in the attack this weekend! So, on Monday night I gave a cup of milk...he spit it out. Therefore, he went to bed without any milk on Monday. I attempted again yesterday after I got home from school...He spit it out again. Then I got to thinking what if I put some strawberry in it now...will he drink it? and YES he did! I was sooo HAPPY :) I've tried strawberry and chocolate before and he still wouldn't drink it, but I guess he decided he was thirsty and that he wasn't getting any juice. He is doing so good now, and I'm so happy that I don't have to wash bottles anymore!! I hated that more than anything. I'm just happy that Brayden has decided it was time to be a big boy and drink milk from his cup even if its strawberry! I have been worried about this for several months that he would not let go of his bottle. He only had one bottle a day and that was at nighttime,so that meant he only had milk one time a day and it was only about 6 oz. When I gave him his milk this morning, he just sort of gave me this "what the world" look and drank it. Maybe he is starting to understand that the bottles are gone and milk only comes in cups now! haha... Now on to the pottytraining...I plan on starting in October with him and hopefully he will do pretty well.
Anyway...Tad left for work yesterday while I was at school so I pretty sad that I didn't get to see him leave. I'm sure I will get use to it though since it will happen every other time he is home. The other times he will have to leave in the morning so he will most likely leave before I even leave for school. We miss him already and wish he was home to play with us! School is going great! I love my classes and my teachers are nice too. My math teacher is special... he is just one of those types of teachers you see on TV. Its hilarious....It takes all I can do not to laugh at him when I'm in class, he is incredibly goofy acting, but he's super nice in helping you with what you don't understand. This time next year I will be getting ready to graduate in Dec. of '11. I'm pretty excited and can't wait. But anyway, this little boy of mine is telling me he needs breakfast so I hope everyone has a great Wednesday!

When Daddy's are In Charge....

They always say that mommy's are for nurture and daddy's are for play...well I have finally believed it! We have been down here at mother and daddy's house all afternoon and Tad, my daddy, and Brayden went to the store(onycha grocery) on the golf cart while I was finishing some homework for tomorrow. While they were gone it started pouring rain which it has on and off all day long. So, they get back and they had gotten Brayden a sucker so we were all outside. Next thing I know Tad and Brayden are running in and out of the garage in the rain. It was funny..I'm surprised Brayden liked it. He loves a bath but doesn't usually care about getting wet like that. So then Tad runs out in the yard in a huge water puddle, and guess who follows him...BRAYDEN! I just knew he was going to fall in that water or either just sit down, but when he bent down on his knees his hiney got soaked! He ran in and out of the water for awhile and then he finally fell down. It was funny! Then all of a sudden my daddy starts laughing and we look at Brayden...He was making his mommy a nice little present in his diaper, which was of course soaked also. Then he started getting grass allover himself and kept saying "eww" so I made him come inside to get a bath and find out just how bad my little present was. Overall, it was really funny! Now I really wonder what goes on when Tad or my daddy have him while I'm at school or dance.Hmm...It really makes me think... :) Here are a few pictures of their fun this afternoon.
