Lonely Weekend
myjaxon January 19th, 2008
It’s really quiet this weekend. Ian is off visiting with his Nana, so there is no one here running around (yes, he’s starting to run, however, not well) jabbering. All of his toys are put away and I don’t have to make a single meal if I don’t want to. Jesse can fend for himself. It’s kind of odd. When mom first asked if she could have Ian for a weekend, I was really excited. I would take him down on Friday while Jesse was at work, we’d have the weekend to ourselves and then on Monday, while Jesse was at work, I would have the entire apartment to myself. Do you know when the last time was that I had the entire place to myself? I was about 20 lbs heavier with Ian kicking my bladder. It’s been a year since I had any time to myself, with no one wanting attention. Granted, Jesse doesn’t require that much attention and we can sit in the same room for hours without talking, but it’s just not the same.
Needless to say, my glorious plans were not going to happen. Mom’s car isn’t working so we’re meeting halfway on Monday instead and Jesse was planning on working from home since he has a skin doctor appointment. <sigh> It was a great dream while it lasted.
Anyway, so far, it’s been a nice relaxing weekend. I’m hoping to get the office cleaned up and some other chores, as well as figure out what we’re going to do for Ian’s first birthday. I can’t wait until we get a house and we can actually have it at our own place. The apartment is too small, so we’re trying to find someplace that will give Ian a place to play, but still be a good place for lunch. I think we have it narrowed down to a couple of places, but I want to check them out before I make any final decisions.
Overall, nothing much is going on with me at the moment. Between Ian and Jesse, I really don’t have that much time for myself. My time usually comes in the form of reading or tooling around online.
QUICK UPDATE: Not 5 minutes after publishing this, Jesse asked me to make HIM chocolate milk since I do it so much better than him. It’s not like there is a specific science to pouring milk into the maker and adding the cocoa powder. And people wonder why I say I have two kids at home. 
Oh Shiny!!
myjaxon December 5th, 2007
It’s so shiny! I received my Christmas present a little early this year. It was a laptop. It’s an IBM ThinkPad T61. Its so shiny and new and it’s all mine. Now I can be on the internet or doing other things I want to do while I’m in the living room. It’ll be nice. Right now, well, before tonight, the only computer I really have access to is in the office (a desktop) and it’s kind of hard to get in there during the day while Ian is up. The office is as baby proofed as we’re able to do right now, but not really. Ian can still get into a lot of trouble in here, so I don’t like both of us in here at the same time. So that meant I was only in here after he went to bed. That also means I was in the office while Jesse was home. We weren’t spending all that much time together. But that’s all going to change now. Jaxon (my old computer) died a while ago and I’ve been using Draccus since and we’ve been saying the next computer we’re buying would be a laptop, well, now I have it. The new computers name is Stabby. Can you guess who named it. Either way, I’m ecstatic that I have a laptop. Now I’m going to go play with it.

Jesse’s Novel
myjaxon November 23rd, 2007
Jesse finished his novel! He still has a few scenes he wants to add and a couple of edits, but his novel – Sinblade – is finished. For those of you who haven’t heard by now, Jesse was competing in the NaNoWriMo challenge. Basically, he had to write 50,000 words in the month of November without any editing and he did it. I’m so excited for him!
And here’s a couple of family photos that were taken recently:
Ian is Pippin!
myjaxon October 20th, 2007
Ian’s first Halloween is almost here and he has already gone trick or treating! Yes I have dressed Ian up this year. He’s going to wait one more year before going trick or treating with his father around the neighborhood, but we just had to go to the grandparents. We have to say thank you to Aunt Trish for making his adorable costume. Ian went as Pippin from Lord of the Rings: Return of the King.
Ian wasn’t alone in this getup either. Ian and Chris were in it together as hobbits. They were so adorable in their costumes. Trish even made the eleven capes. The whole ensemble came out beautifully and I can’t believe that my little man actually looks good in a tunic. Ian will be able to wear it one more time when we go to Jesse’s work Halloween party.
These are the original outfits for Ian and CJ’s costume:
