We are training our dog. Well, trying to train our dog.
He sits fairly well. Lay down, not so well.
So, instead of working on Sit, then Lay my darling husband decides to start teaching him to ROLL OVER! WTF. You work on ONE command until the dog will do that command at least fairly well then, after he has the one command, you work on a new one. I can think of different ones other than roll over to work on. You know...STAY. I'm sick of the dog already. 
He STILL pees and poops in the house. I know he's a puppy, but he should be able to at least let me know when he has to go potty. I don't expect the dog to hold it all day. Come on!
He STILL pees and poops in the house. I know he's a puppy, but he should be able to at least let me know when he has to go potty. I don't expect the dog to hold it all day. Come on! I didn't want the dog yet. I just had a baby, and he wanted a dog. He spent $800 on the dog and getting it! We went clear to Tennessee to get it! Yet, the damn dog likes me more! It's because I'm with the dog ALL day, and when J comes home, he does nothing. He's starting to work with the dog though, I guess that's a plus.
There is hair everywhere! He's mean to the little dog (mini doxi), jumps on the kids...drives me crazy! Not to mention he chews on things. My aunt let me keep Rock Band here...he just chewed on a drum stick! Not bad, it just has little holes all over, it's still usable. But, it's not mine and it got chewed on so I have to get new ones. She's going to take money from what she owes for the phone to get some. I found some for $7.99...I'm not buying her a freaking $20 set. I'll take $7.99+tax off what she owes. Nothing more, I shouldn't have to pay extra just because she wants the ones that are $18 something and my dog chewed her stick up. She was talking about getting new ones anyway...So this isn't going to be her excuse to get the "good"ones since I'm technically paying for them.
I'll make a totally different post about the lovely place that my husband works at...
So I did a birthday cake with marshmallow fondant. Let me tell you, I had fun beating it when I got pissed at it! LOL. I didn't have corn starch to put down so I use a light coating of Crisco. It made it to soft, and wouldn't work right. Very good stress relief!
Anyway, we bring the cake in the the boys dad is all "it looks awesome." "looks like it took forever" "it's very beautiful". Really over doing the compliments to the point that he was getting kinda creepy with them (he was in my class in HS...so he's already creepy but yeah...).
So, here is the cake...My shapes are not to great because I was free handing most of them and was in a hurry.
It was his 2nd birthday.
This is the stuff that I am going to have to keep practicing with. It was very easy to make! Just mini marshmallows and powdered sugar. It's very sweet!
I'm definitely going to try it again, and hopefully I will give myself more time than I did doing this one. We were an hour late showing up to the cookout that his cousin Amy had at her house the same day as the party. Hehe...oops. It's not like he does not make us late to things that I want to go to!
The hardest part of the cake was getting the blue fondant over the cake. My rolling pin was not a "normal" one, it was half the length and had a ball on one end and was rounded on the other. I don't know what it was used for.
This would b
e a nice little business to start up some day if I become good at it. Right now, it's just fun. I love creating things for other people. Normally I do holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas) at my grandparents. My grandma had me do 2 for her to take to church, then the church paid me to do 3 for them. I'm going to start doing them for my husbands family too. Can't cheat them out of the pretty cakes I do now can I?

I keep telling him that with all the things that I have to plan for the party (since he does not help) that making the 
cake is one of the last things that I want to think about. I would rather buy the thing and only have to worry about when I will go get it. He just does not understand.
My only problem is that I don't have many opportunities to practice. Jer and I don't do cakes to often. My grandma said that she and dad would eat it and to bring it up there. Then mom said that she would take it to work and get their opinions. I might start doing that when we have a little bit of extra cash. That way also if they decide that they like it I might be able to do one for someone she works with if they need a cake for something...Marketing! Yey mom!
**I had another picture of the cake on here but went to spell check and had a word not working right and deleted it and the whole picture deleted too...**
Oh holy Hades I did it now. I am supposed to bake a cake, no big deal right...Well I waited way to long and now, I have to do the fondant, bake the cake, put it together. Meanwhile, go to a baseball game, go to a family gathering, then go to the party. Hopefully the family thing is later in the day tomorrow giving me time to do it. Plus! in the morning I have to go to the farmers market since Saturday morning is the only day that it will be open.
I am planning on doing the fondant tonight. This will be my first attempt. We will see how it goes. Then doing the cake tomorrow. I might bake it tonight too and then just put it together tomorrow. I hope it turns out well!
I was going to make plans with a friend to go to the fair and watch the parade, then DH comes home and tells me that they are getting tickets from work to go to a baseball game. Free is free, and they are paying for our parking PLUS giving us "wizard bucks" to spend. NO problem going to the game!
Well we will see if I survive!
OH YEAH!! Mommymatter.com is doing a givaway with TEAlicious. One lucky winner will get a basket of different teas and such from TEAlicious. Hope I win!!
Well, the lovely ladies at mommymatter helped picke out my title. I'm horrible at coming up with "cool" things. They are so cool! :D
I like it, it fits!
Going to hopefully get a cool banner to put up on it.
Well I'm off to do a Walmart survey. One day I'll get lucky and win the gift card!
Oh lordy, it's been a long while. Let me see. Last time I was here I was still pregnant. I now have a 5 month old baby girl. She is getting BIG. Trying to crawl and play with her big sis and the dogs...which by the way we got another one. He is driving me INSANE!
I'm STILL trying to get the house situated. My mom moved out, and we have the house to ourselves. We are painting the living room right now (will post pictures sometime). Got tired of white walls and paneling. I lived in apartments for 3 years that I couldn't paint the white walls dang it I'm going to do it now!! Next will be the hallway, mainly because there is now permanent marker on the wall. Then probably the girl's room. Going to do that in Dora.
Other than taking care of the family, not a whole lot has gone on. I'm "looking" for at least a part time job that I can work evenings. Not going to swell. The stupid gas station has been out of applications for 2 weeks at least! Drives me nuts. I don't want to drive to far away and spend my check on just gas, that will defeat the purpose of me getting a job!
Well, that's pretty much all that's going on. I'm sure I will have more to write about! It's late, I have to put Jer's work clothes in the dryer before I can go to bed so I thought I'd hop on here.
Oh my it's been a long time since I wrote. Not a whole lot going on, I'm still trying to get things moved around and unpacked from moving in to my mom's house...I feel like I am still not getting anywhere. I'm doing it all by myself basically. Every once and a while my mom helps. I'm 33 weeks pregnant, and shouldn't be doing it all on my own. I don't know what got into me today though. I have done most the dishes, and even rearranged the cupboard to try and get more room for things. This house really needs to get clean before I have this baby, because if not, it's going to look 50 million times worse because I'm going to be busy with a newborn and an almost 3 year old. NO way am I going to be able to do that AND be the only one cleaning.
I'm so tired of doing all alone too...and really tired of being alone. I live with 2 other people, and yet from the time I get up in the morning to about 8 pm (2 hours before I go to bed) I'm alone. It's just me and my 2 year old. My mom has her life, which is fine, but my husband should be here...instead he's hunting. I think it's stupid! I don't get treated like I should. I'm pregnant, carrying HIS child. I am in so much pain but yet can not get any sympathy. It's like I'm supposed to be happy to have this pain, like it's my damn job to carry this child...That I don't deserve to be treated different, or pampered at all. Would it kill him to rub my back? NO! Of course not, but you know what he has to say about my back?? Well, his has been hurting for a long time...WTF?? He's also not carrying an extra 13 pounds out front! HE'S NOT PREGNANT WITH HIS CHILD I AM!!! It just pisses me off! I get treated like shit a lot!!
I could go on and on about it all...it will never change though. I have talked to him, and still it's the same. No point in waisting my breath.
That also makes for other things to not go well in the marriage...if you catch my drift...plus he thinks that he can skip straight to the "main" part and not worry that I'm no where close to being ready for it...what ever. It's all about him when it comes to that. I hardly do anything anymore...just lay there. Why should I do anything for him? He can't do simple things for me to make me feel special, why should I do anything for him??
Ok...I'm done bitching...
