Riley now walks. which is awesome, I don't have to carry her as much. She's been staying with her daddy and really enjoys it. Well at least I think so everytime I put the phone rings she yells "dada" LOL. She can also drink out of a straw, to you that doesn't seem to difficult. But tell me this, when was the last time you've seen a 1year old drink out of a straw?

as for me, work is great and life is good. I like having money, I mean who doesn't. This past month I've have an extra $1000 after all of my bills which is awesome. Oh and my job shorted me on my check and I didn't even catch it until 4 days later. so I get another check tomorrow plus my friend owe's me another $100. So I guess I have no excuses to put some money into my savings.

that's all folks.

love ya.

this past week has been crazy Riley turned 1 and had a cool party. (and she wasn't afraid of the clown lol) I went to Fall out boy concert which was fucking amazing. Had a freaking awesome 2 story hotel suite for 5 days and got drunk a few times. My sister came from Hawaii for RJ's birthday party, which was really nice seeing as I have to fly 6to7 hours to see her. there is so much to post my I have so little energy. Today was just awful at work all I heard were complaints. I'm pooped, so night night everyone.



My Princess is now one.........

alwyas,

Another one of my cell phones just bit the dust........well at least I think so. The Screen is frozen and I'm hoping that sprint can fix it cause my treo is not insured cause it's still new, and now I know why they don't offer any insurance on it just yet. I guess it's trial and error. haha

Riley turns 1 in 8 days, It's crazy how fast this year has gone by. Shit next thing you know I'm posting about my babies first day of kindergarten. Scary to think that far ahead in life. Everything seems to be going well, except for this whole party planning ordeal.

In other news Riley is getting her 3rd tooth. It's so funny to see her smile, she is just so freakin cute. oh yeah my booboo is a flirt, I think she has a thing for older men, like 21 years or older....haha she does this bashful smile that catches everyones attention. She thinks she's cute but I know what she's doing. Like mother like daughter, but I sure that my intentions are in a different manner lol.

My booboo is asleep right now and I think that I should join her shortly. Night Night everyone sleep tight.

Riley is spending the night with Brandt, and I'm still trying to get used to it, but she's doing just fine.........I MISS MY RJ!!!! I just dont know if I'll get any sleep tonight.

well anyway he's how my day started............I woke up to Riley giving me kisses, wet ones at that. got her ready and her daddy came and got her. To my surprise he shows me his new ink (tattoo) he has Riley in huge letters from his elbow to his wrist. I know he's a proud dad geez lol. I then kissed her off and finished getting ready for work. Stopped for some starbucks on the way to work. Clocked in @ 8:58am then all hell broke loose. We have jewish people staying @ the hotel and today was there sabbath so the couldn't use any thing that was electronic. There for they could not open or close the doors......haha we had to run back and forth to lock/unlock their doors when the went to/left their rooms. Then no one could check in until 4 and everyone decides to come in @ 10am. today was rough.

after work I went over to rosie's job and had a few drinks and gambled a little. Hey what do you know I win $500 dollars. I gamble maybe 30 dollars every couple of months, nothing too crazy but I have done well in the past but today must have been my lucky day. I always win a few bucks here and there, but I know not to push my luck.

Now I'm home and I am trying to go to bed, but I'm finding it hard to sleep without my Riley. I don't think I'm ready for this just yet.

Riley has spent the past few days with her dad, and they really seem to enjoy eachothers company. The first couple of days I was freaked out, but now I'm slowly starting to get used to the idea. Plus Brandt does such a great job with her. So far so good.

maybe I should get back to work........instead of surfing the net and drinking starbucks hahaha.

So yesterday Brandt (Riley's dad) called me, and as a shock to me he was eager to see Riley. I happened to have yesterday and today off, but I had plans so I told him to come over today, which he did. He was so sweet to her, and he was asking all kinds of questions, and then the big one. He asked if it would be okay if he would watch her on the weekends when I'm at work. He doesn't like the idea of Riley having to go to daycare 5 days a week. Plus he was pretty upset about the whole incident with her having an allergic reaction and ending up in the ER (which i will get into detail shortly). of course I said yeah, I mean he is her father and all. but I have this feeling in the pit of my stomach, he has no experience with taking care of a child all by himself. His mom will help him get the hang of it. but you can't blame me for being a worry wart. *sighs* he's getting everything ready for this weekend....I know it's so soon, He's so excited about it. He's going to buy her another carseat for his car and another crib for his house. He's baby proofing his house for the next few days lol, I told him good luck cause she climes everywhere. I don't know how well this will go, I'll keep you updated. he reassured me that we will work something out, and I can't help to look past everything and believe him, but I must admit I'm not letting my guard down.

so back to the whole daycare thing.........The other day while I was at work I got a phone call from RJ's daycare saying that they had given her peanutbutter and she was having an allergic reaction, so I closed out and was on my way out the door when I called them back and another girl said that she was in bad shape and was breathing funny, so I yelled at them to "call the fucking ambulance" I rushed down there to find the fire men hoovering around her, I was balling my eyes out. I had never seen her like that she had hives all over her body even on her tongue, I was furious. Who the hell give an 11month old with only one tooth a peanut butter cheese cracker? everyone know that peanuts are the 3 most food that people are allergic too, plus my child has one tooth she could have choke. There are too many details so I'll just make it short. I went down to the daycare the next day and they made it out to be my fault. They are now giving me attitude, but not for long.

it's guess that's all for now............wow I started off happy and ended on a bad note.

there are times when you just want to slap some common sense in to someone but you end up being afraid of the thought that you might contract their stupidity through any sort of contact with them. And then you get over it. It's like a vicious circle that will never end.

I'm not like that, I just tend to sit back and watch others get enraged by the actions of other people. Although it has nothing to do with them personally they tend to take it to the heart. In my line of work you will run in to people who will be 3 inches in front of your face yelling at the top of their lungs telling you what a piece of shit you are in so many words. I let them know that they look like a dumbass, but I do it with a pleasant attitude, and a smile on my face. People get so upset by that, sometimes I have to go to the back and giggle a little. what are they going to do tell my boss that I told them to have a nice day? I've always been able to hold up under pressure, it comes natural to me.

After work I head over to pick Riley up, by the time I get to her daycare, my stress level is back to normal. It's sort of like my work day didnt' even happen. We went through a few new people who had to be moved to a different department away from the general public, or just plain got fired. Let me tell you the hotel business is not for everyone. I think I might have a new career goal in life, to someday run a hotel/casino. What do you think?

So hope everyone is doing well.

life is good from my end. Riley is getting so big and she has a tooth lol just one for right now. she is also slowly but surely learning to walk. I can't believe that her first birthday is less than 2 months away already. I still don't know what the theme is going to be but the place is picked out already. I can't wait.

nothing too cool going on with me, work is great, my health is satisfactory lol and my stress level is fairly low. hahaha. I'm pretty sure that covers all of the bases.

oh yeah I had an IUD (look it up if you don't know what that is) put in the other day, so whoohooo no more babies for 5 years. so now I don't have to worry about pills or patches, or shots. now I can't go celebrate......lol!!!

Lately I haven't been sleeping well, all I can think about is this whole stupid court thing between me and Brandt. From day one I have been the one to take care of Riley, Everything from providing for her to comforting her when she just wants attention. My daughter is my life, I have never wanted anything more than to be a good mother to her. Everything I do is for her, she's not even a year old yet and she is the boss of me.....lol Since the day she was born, I have never made a decision without acknowledging her best interest even when it is not necessary. Brandt has never done any of these things. I don't what is running through his head right now. I mean, I wish I did. Sometimes I just want to pick up the phone and call him, but my pride gets in the way. Plus now that we have this child support issue going on I think that it's best for us not to make things any worse than they are. I'm not saying that we should be together, but we should still make decisions concerning RJ together. I know he has a big heart, and won't be angry with me forever. I just wish he would grow up and not punish RJ for things that I have done.

In other news: Work is going well, I love working mornings, I get off @ 3pm ish so I have the rest of the day to run errands. Which is awesome because I can really enjoy my days off. I also went back to my natural hair color which everyone seems to love. LOL I havent had my natural hair color in like 6 years haha. I kind of like it, plus I don't have to worry about my roots showing and having to maintain it as often. between styling my hair to getting my nails done, and applying make-up IT'S TOUGH BEING A GIRL! Thank goodness that I don't have to worry about my boo-boo dealing with that nonsense for at least a few years LOL.

speaking of my boo-boo I got her a turtle from Build a Bear who's name is Boo-Boo JR. Riley loves that freaking thing. She will play with if for hours in her crib. It's so funny because I'll watch her from the door way and she will kiss it and hug it, even talk to it. In fact she's sleeping with on it right now.

I guess that's all the ranting I can do for now, I'm getting sleepy and plus Riley has a Doctors appointment tomorrow. Night night .
