I hate when I get in these moods where I really want to post something but I have no idea what to write about. I have a list of a few things that I wanted to write about, but none of them sounded good at the moment. I had only four things on my list though. There was favoritism (in the workplace), my crappy taste in guys, marriage, and wanting to be wanted. Pretty much nothing good to write about. I'll just write about what people care about, aka my munchkin.
Amelia still isn't feeling well. I know the doctor said that it was teething, but when I talked to other parents, they said their kids didn't act like that. I know Amelia's doctor really sucks. She really doesn't know what she's talking about. But, now, Amelia has had a stuffy/clogged nose every day for about a week. My poor baby. She keeps running a fever, too. She gets medicine every time, but it doesn't really help much. I guess we'll figure it out soon.
In other news, Junior went to the vet today. He has had this nasty sore on his leg that he keeps chewing open. We've tried to take care of it ourselves, but he wouldn't let us. They determined that it was something like when people bite their nails. He has some medicine that should help. Guess we'll see.

Happy First Birthday, Amelia!
Happy Birthday, to you! Happy Birthday, to you! Happy Birthday, dear Amelia. Happy Birthday, to you!
I can't believe it's been a year since you made my life whole. You become more and more perfect as each day passes. I couldn't ask for a better daughter. I love you more than you'll ever know.
A year ago, you were in NICU. You had a breathing tube and a feeding tube. When you were born, the umbilical cord was wrapped around your neck. You weren't supposed to make it. Then again, neither was I. Now look at us. A year later and we're both here. You are the greatest thing to ever happen to me. You are truly Mommy's little miracle.
Happy Birthday, my perfect little angel. Mommy loves you.
Unfortunately, I tried to post this yesterday, but the app on my phone decided it didn't want to work. It's just a day late. Doesn't change anything except the date this was posted.
(written 3/21) Amelia has a doctors appointment today for her one year check up. Sadly, that means shots. But, after that, Mommy is going to get her a milkshake. I think that'll be a nice reward. Besides the fact that she knows how to use a straw, but only will with a milkshake, so I'm going to trick her by putting the milkshake in one of her cups.
Oh, presents... Her Aunt Lyndsey got her some clothes and this adorable little dog toy that sings. Her Aunt Holly got her some clothes, one of which she has already worn. Mommy got her a Lion Piano and the Bounce and Ride Elephant. Nom-Nom(grandma) and Pop Pop(grandpa) got her a block set and this Fisher-Price Bright Beats thing. She absolutely LOVES it. Lastly, Aunt Nikki and Uncle TJ, also, got her a Bounce and Ride Elephant. Looks like we have a back up in case she breaks the first one. That's all for today. We'll see how much she has grown and I'll post it later.

No. No. No. My baby is not turning 1 tomorrow. This is not okay. She's supposed to stay my baby forever. She's supposed to need her mommy forever. If she starts growing up, she won't. I guess it's going to happen regardless, though. Unfortunately, they started calling for snow, so I can't take Amelia to the zoo tomorrow. Thankfully, she didn't understand/know what we were planning so it's not like she'll be upset over it. Instead, we're just baking a cake. Chocolate cake with hot pink icing. I think that'll work pretty well. Guess we'll see. I'll post tomorrow after she gets presents.

Less than a week until my baby turns one. I don't think I'll be able to handle this. What happened to staying my baby forever? I guess one isn't so bad. Its when she gets older than that. Thankfully, it's only the first year that goes by really quickly. I'm hoping the rest of the time will go a little slower.
So, little miss Amelia has really started becoming a bad little baby. She no longer listens to me, like she used to. And now she does this pinching thing. She pinches as hard as she can. She also bites. When I'm nursing. Imagine that. Breastfeeding and then you get bit. She keeps doing it to the point of blood. Sadly, correcting it isn't working. I'll yell "Ouch" and "ow" and she just smiles and laughs. Then she'll do it again. No matter how many times I yell, she just smiles and laughs. My child is evil. I mean, she knows when it hurts and she just laughs about it. If anyone reads this who breastfeeds, please, give me some advice. I don't want to stop breastfeeding, but I can't handle the biting.
Something that doesn't deal with the munchkin or Asperger's. The time change. Does everyone have the time change? You know, Daylight Savings? Like does Canada do daylight savings? Mexico? England? Australia? I know this is stuff I should've learned in school, but let's face it. It's been almost 6 years, like I remember?
Also, lastly, I've been applying to some new jobs. I've applied for a bank teller job, an admin assistant job, and a kennel worker job. The kennel worker job would be taking care of all the animals and cleaning up and being like a receptionist. That would be absolutely amazing for me. But then the issue becomes, I'd want to bring home all the animals. Guess we'll see what happens.

One day
I constantly think of my future lately. I'm not sure if it's because Amelia is getting older or because I am and I feel like time is running out. I keep getting told "go live your life", "you're too young to not have a life", "go out and meet someone, make some friends", "you're too pretty to be single", "don't worry, you'll find a guy soon"... for awhile, I really didn't listen. I'm 23. I've got the love of my life, my daughter. I've got a job. I've got a wonderful family. And I have a roof over my head. I don't need anything else. I don't need to go make friends. I don't need to meet some guy. There is more to life than being pretty. But, you know what. I should take some of that advice. I don't do anything besides go to work or be home with Amelia. I only have a handful of friends. Amelia needs a father. And I actually am pretty, but smart, too! I have no idea what brought all this on. Maybe it's that I keep having dreams about getting married. Maybe it's that my best friend is getting ready to move into this beautiful house with her husband and son. Maybe it's that I want to stop feeling like a burden on my family. Who knows. Whatever it is, I'm okay with it. Maybe I'm actually growing up, it was bound to happen eventually, right? My only problem with all this, I don't like failure. With my track record, I'm never going to get married. I'm not going to move into my own beautiful house. Mia won't get a father. I tell everyone else that they need to have a positive outlook on their life, but no matter how hard I try, I just see everything I'm up against and very depressed. Think about it. I have Asperger's. I'm a single mom. I work in retail. No college. Never goes out unless it's work. It's just not going to happen. This post started off so good, but as I was typing, my thoughts just started coming. I know what I want in life, I just need to make it happen.

March 6, 2016
I can't believe it's already March. I don't like it. Only 2 weeks until my baby turns 1. This year flew by a little too quickly. Everyone said it would, but I was really hoping it wouldn't. She's supposed to stay my baby forever. Though, according to the people at WIC, she'll be little forever. She's in the 21st percentile for height. We knew she was doomed from the start. I mean, hello, have you seen me?!
We changed plans for her birthday. Still the zoo, but now the Baltimore zoo. They have a little more than the National Zoo. The only down side to the Baltimore Zoo is that it costs $18 per person. But, I heard that the National Zoo makes you pay $25 for parking. The Baltimore Zoo has free parking. I, also, got Amelia and I new outfits to wear to the Zoo. We both have Elephant dresses. It'll be cute. And, the best part of the Baltimore Zoo... They have a Dik-Dik!!! I've always wanted to see one.
I'm thinking of either doing the Adopt an Animal or the Breakfast with Animals for Amelia. The adoption is $75 and I can get immediately, and it includes 2 tickets and a stuffed animal. The Breakfast isn't until September and costs $65. But, you get a once in a lifetime experience. I don't think you can pet the animal or get that close to them. Decisions, decisions. I guess I have time to figure it out.
They're calling for rain the day we go to the zoo and the temperature, for Harpers Ferry, is 59 degrees. I think it's going to be about the same in Baltimore as well. Oh well. A little rain won't hurt. It also says that it's is morning showers. Hopefully, it'll stop raining by the time we get there. Guess we'll find out.
