On Tuesday Tristen got up SUPER early and after going through our morning routine I finally pushed myself to make a change. I had heard of this Toddler Time thing this place does 6 days a week from 9:30-11:30. So I packed us in the car and gave myself no time to think about it or find a reason not to go. Tristen fell asleep on the way there of course, so when I pulled into the parking lot I sat there for about 5 minutes fighting my reservations. Screw it, I'am here, If I dont go now I'll never go. We go inside and there is 1 mom and one 2 year old girl. There was sooo much stuff for him to play with so I let Tristen go for it.Mean.jpg)
while the other mom made light conversation,"How old is he"?"He's so cute"," Don't worry others will be here soon" .. bla bla bla.. Soon more mommy's and babies began to pile in. I want to say about 5 mom's total and 7 kids ranging in age .. mostly all older.. Long story short- It was like high school. Very Clicky. The 3 moms stuck together talking loudly about how much money they had just spent.(GROSS). The one mom I thought would be the snob ended up being the nice one... That the other girls didn't talk to and the one I thought looked close to my age and on the cool side was TOO COOL for anyone.. I only stayed a hour but made the excuse that I planned leave in a hour.. Not that I think anyone cared!But I think Tristen had fun with the toys and watching the other children but I on the other hand.. DON'T think I'll be making friends there.. But with winter coming and us not being able to go for walks, Im sure I'll make the effort to try again.. For his sake not mine!Wednesday started with me randomly going through Tristens clothes and hardly finding anything that fits.. He has like, jeans and oneies but NO Jammies..He has 2 pairs that are warm and fit.. He refuses to sleep with blankets too, So he has to have the super warm ones with feet ones.. So off to find Jammies! and this is how we spend our Wednesday.. lol. He now has 2 new jammies that are 3 sizes too big! but at least hes warm! Thursday Miss Mercy and Keenan came to visit.Rich had some extra tires for her car and, as always saved the day..Thanks hunny!! We once again shared some laughs and foods.. They got to watch the many wonders of Tristen..
He found one of those musical birthday cards.. and dance like no other when he opens it's and the song SO the best.... "She's a Brick House.."! Funniest shit ever.. But he was really up and down with his mood. He would cr
y every time Mercy put her hat on.lol.. Then he was more than ecstatic to see her dog but freaked out when the dog "talked"lol.. I think he's going through major teeth stuff right now.. but who knows.

I think he's going through major teeth stuff right now.. but who knows. Speaking of dogs our friend Kevin ( He was Rich's best man) got a pup of his our since he moved out to Florida and has been on the lonely side.. He took his new lil pup to the vet only to find his hips were all inverted and needed thousands of dollars in surgery = (
or the dog wouldn't be able to walk once he reached a certain weight. The vet said he would do it Pro-bono but he wanted to
keep the dog.. So sad.. I feel so bad for Kevin talk about High - Lo.
Anyhow a couple weeks back a girl contacted me on myspace saying she just moved to Tahoe and had no mommy friends.She has a son 3 weeks younger than Tristen.I told her I don't live there anymore but if your ever this way!? Not expecting
anything after than conversation she said she was coming to Carson in 2 days if I wanted to meet up.. Sure. Right? Couldnt be bad. We were meeting at wal-mart all else fails.. Im at wal-mart. So Friday comes and....We ended up walking around forever! Eating lunch at Chilli's and venturing off the the Halloween store!! All and all I MADE A MOMMY FRIEND!! And Tristen has a new buddy named Tyler..
TWO LITTLE PIMPS!
I am really happy about that considering my first attempt at making mommy friends!
Today I spent the day pulling out Halloween stuff and playing alot with Tristen he was in a wonderful mood.Thee absoulte best part of today was I'am pretty sush he finally relized HE can make his momma laugh. I had put a wig on him and of course it made me crack up but then he pulls it off, looks at me and tries to put it on again.. and again.. Totally cracking me up.. Then later out of nowhere he learns this I can drink my juice with no hands trick!

I like the "trick"!! Although that is probably the only time that a mom wants to hear "look mom, no hands!" Haha!
I am glad that you are making mommy friends, I know that must be tough, hell, I can't even make my own friends, much less having to match up with a mom and a baby! Good work! Just stay persistant and be the wonderful person that you are and the friends will come!
I appreciate the blurb on the pup, I really do. It was a sad day in Kevin land, but I know that it is for the best somehow someway. So it will work out.
Anyway Ellisssss I love you all and I am sure I will talk to you soon.

OMG girl, first of all, I totaly know how you feel about being the new girl in town, at these play things for the lil' ones. That is totaly how I felt for along time at the one up here on tuesdays, and that actually never got better (sorry to burst the bubble haha) but after a while it bothered me less, and more and more moms talked to me, and I started to see that no matter how much money other moms had, or how many of them knew each other or, or had jobs, or didn't have jobs, or what their husbands did...whatever ya know, my kid was just as good if not better then their kids. Now don't get me wrong, I don't judge children like that, or anyone really, but they acted soooo high and mighty like "Ohhhh Susie can ONLY use THIS lotion, OMG I went ALL over town trying to find a polo in 100% cotten and I refuse to shop at Walmart" i'm like *caugh* "I love that store :)" It was always hard. There was so many judgmental moms there, but then there were alot of moms there too that seemed just as outa place as me, but simply wanted a structured area for their lil' ones to socialise and play. The hardest thing was, like Tristen, at the time Dylan was the youngest besides like one mother who brougth a 3 month old. They were constantly asking when he was going to walk, talk more etc. It was so hard cause other kids would take things from him, and not really play with him cause he couldn't keep up, so I felt like this weird mom fallowing him around showing him things to do and keeping him safe while other moms were able to let their 18-24 month old kids run wild. But this year he's older, so when I'm brave enough to take him back, I'll see if it pans out different, and maybe since I'm a returning mommy I won't be such a newbie anymore *crosses fingers* So hang in there!
Also, I totaly know what you mean about the PJ's thing. Dylan pretty much has to wear warm pj's with feet year round cause Tahoe nights are just too cold and he kicks off all his covers :( Their harder to find then one would think too, I went to walmart and Cosco yesterday and dug through piles of packs of Gerber Fleece footie jams, with NO luck finding a 2T or 24 months (at least that didn't have pink butterflies on them ;) I buy up as many of them as I can find when I do find them to last all year.
And last but not least, glad you found a new mommy friend, YAY! AND AND AND I LOVE THE VIDEO OF HIM W? THE CUP!!! NICE TRICK LITTLE MAN!
OMG, that viseo is the funniest thing EVER!!!! I gotta learn that!! I am really glad you are trying the new things, I think it's great! And i was spying on your myspace the other day and figured out the mew mommy friend thing, thats cool. I miss you!! like, whaaaa!
Hi Ang! I have a question about the Mommy n baby play group you went to. The moms that were all snotty, were they OLDER mothers? In my experiences, a lot of old ass mothers tend to be that way. I don't like it at all. Just wondering! Oh, and please let Tristen wear that little wig everyday! I love it!
