Ramblings

We will be done with the Army in May and cannot wait for it. Ready to be around our family and being able to have the kids, mostly Keylan, get to know everyone. Shiana was around everyone for almost 2 years before we moved here. Keylan has been around everyone for a month and a half in almost 18 months, so sadly he does not know everyone all that well. So with that idea in my mind I have been looking at houses. I am ready for my family to have a house to call home, not an apartment. I have nothing against apartments since they have been my home for the last 4 years 8 months, but we need more space and a yard. I want to be able to paint and decorate the kids rooms and not have to worry about re-painting them or deposits. I want to decorate the kids bathroom and ours and the other rooms. There will be a yard with outside toys that the kids can go out and play when they want, instead of playing on concrete or rocks. I am already planning or coming up with decorating ideas for all the rooms and I love it but I hate it. The prices make me sad, but we are planning on saving our tax refund and travel money. 

But, before we can get a house, we prefer both of us to have a job. I am not stressed about me getting a job at the moment. I can take the summer off and get adjusted and Shiana ready for Kindergarten, then I plan on looking. I only want to work bout 20 hours a week, enough to pay for groceries and daycare for Keylan. I think that is going to be the hard part. Shiana had her time with mommy by herself and I feel that he deserves the same, so if we can manage it I might be able to do that. But if we need the extra money I will get a job. Hopefully Jeremy has an easy time getting a job, at the moment 2 places are in mind, so we do not have to stress as much.

On another note, Keylan has been peeing in the potty at least once a day =) I feel a huge accomplishment there, at the same age Shiana was not even doing that. So hopefully, maybe by his birthday he will be potty trained. I am also going to get Shiana more organized and doing things on her own. I am making up a "chore" chart with making her bed, picking toys and her room up and brushing her teeth. It is also a fight to get her to put her clothes on so we are going to get an organizer for the back of her door so I can set out clothes for the week, including pajamas. 

But that is the end of my ramblings and I feel better writing everything out. I love writing what I want, lol.
