It has been two weeks since I've last posted. I'm sorry. I can't even say I've been busy. Just lazy. And didn't know what to write about. One thing is that Mia has been having horrible separation anxiety. She doesn't even like when I go into another room. I can't even go pee without her freaking out. And then she's had some nasty diarrhea the past couple days. She's, also, cutting 4 teeth at once. My poor baby just hasn't been having any good days lately.
For those that care about my relationship that's been going on. It's great. Tomorrow we'll have been together for a month. Though, it seems like it has been much longer. Which I'm okay with. I really really like him. And he gets along with Mia wonderfully and you can tell she adores him. I like spending time with him, and so does Mia. I love that he is okay with me having a child. Though, he kinda has to be, really. Either way, Erik is pretty awesome and I'm so lucky to be able to call him my boyfriend.
That's pretty much it for right now. Like I said, not much has happened.

Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Today is my dad's 44th birthday. Thanks to me having strep throat and mom having the flu, he decided to actually go to work. That's good though. That means I can work on his surprise. I'm thinking of making him a cake. Sadly, I don't know what his favorite type of cake is. Or if he even has a favorite. I'd say I'd get him a gift, but I don't have any money for that. So, that's a no go. I plan to take Michaila to the store with me to at least get him a card. Even though, I'm not supposed to go out in public for 24 hours after starting my antibiotic for Strep. Though, if I just don't breathe on anyone, it should be okay, right? Probably not, but who really cares. If I get you sick, I'm sorry.
So, as most of you know, my niece, Mackenzie, spent the week with us while her parents were in Texas. I don't know how they can handle that child. She doesn't stop talking. Don't get me wrong, I love that child, but wow. She can talk and talk and talk. I had to leave the house a few times just to calm myself down. Thankfully, I have an amazing boyfriend who came to save me a few times. I think Kenzie is how I got sick. She was complaining about a sore throat, she had a fever, and was throwing up. All common signs of strep for a 4 year old. Either that, or that's how mom got the flu. I could've gotten strep throat from work, knowing my luck. Though, it doesn't hurt right now. I'm actually drinking coffee for the first time in a few days and it tastes so good.
Now, about Mia. The reason for this blog. She is an evil little munchkin with way too much energy. She's still not walking, unfortunately. She has taken a few steps before, like a month ago, but nothing since. When anyone tries to hold her hands and get her to walk, she gets too excited and just starts jumping. She does "walk" around her baby jail, but that's about it. She holds on to the side when she does that, so it doesn't completely count yet. But, she's getting there.

May the fourth be with you.

Yes, I'm a Star Wars nerd. I'm okay with it. Anyway, we have my niece for the week. She got here Monday evening. It's been a very long day and a half so far. VERY LONG. Only like 5 more days to go. On the bright side, it has helped me make a decision that I do not want anymore kids. One is okay. At least, Mia is okay. Unfortunately, my boyfriend wants 3 to 4 kids. That ain't happening. Maybe. Like 10 years from now. Who knows. And, yes, you read that right, I said boyfriend. Surprising, right? A guy who can actually deal with me and not want to kill me. And, he's okay with me having Mia. He actually likes her. She kinda likes him. The jury is still out on that one.
I thought I had more to write about, but I guess not. Though, I'm guessing I'm a bad mom. Mia took the ribbon off her overalls and keeps trying to wrap it around her neck... Thanks sweetheart. Mommy loves you, too. I'll write tomorrow after my psychiatrist appointment and date. Mia will be with us, too! It'll be interesting.
