Avery in her Jeep stroller in Boulder Co.

Monday and the sun is out! so nice after the long rainy weekend but the ground needed it so there is new green sprouts everywhere. Took avery on a walk around the neighborhood this afternoon, my legs got a good workout pushing her in her stroller into the wind. should do that everyday so I'm in shape for turning 29 (birthday is next sunday!) Her bronchial problems have turned into mine now...I feel like i have a pigeon stuck in the back of my throat, a live one that cant decide if it should come up or go down into my lungs. as long as I am able to breath i dont mind the rattle in my chest. its not really that bad and at least Avery is over the worst of hers. can you believe it's been 6 months with her already?! where did the time go? I was just getting used to the pregnancy and now I have a daughter that laughs at me.....She really has the sickest sense of humor. we were playing with her stuffed 'babbit' and was making it hop through the air and flop its ears on Avery's head and she giggled each time. so I changed it to flopping its ears on my head and the baby burst into histerical laughter. I love her Humor, she's really such a funny girl
got to run....these are the last days of having my husband home with us and we're cooking fajitas over at my parents home. Batman says the meat is marinated and we have to go

I wrote something and now its gone, dont have the time to say it twice so i'm going to paraphrase:

I'm only going to have one CHild....Avery's bronchitis is horrible, I couldnt handle another kid getting sick, I'm already catching it from her....

I drempt last night that my mother gave birth to a baby boy. the weird thing is that is was one of those weird pregnancies and she just ended up at the hospital giving birth not realizing that she was with child. so gross and sick to think of my mom but I cant get the image out of my minds eye.

Batman vacumed this morning!

Avery's hair is coming back in! in jus the last 3 days her head is darkening with soft brown baby down. cant wait to do some pigtails.

its raining in Texas so I'm staying indoors and watching it flood around me
happy weekend to everyone

Legal system doesn't work

finally located the home phone and checked the messages....It had been missing since we got back from Co. This weekend. Evidently the jail called and they said Batman needs to turn himself in or else its going to turn into a warrant. He called them back and STILL no one knows what ever happened to his case being filed. If he make the hour and half drive out to the jail to turn himself in (which he did Monday, the date that was designated for him to do his 8 days) they still wont have the proper paper work to admit him. THis is so stupid! And they have the nerve to leave threatening messages at my home?! They can kiss my hairy ass! And Batman needs his dingle berries licked out while their down on their knees. ARHG! I'm so flipping mad right now. I'm happy Batman is home with me though. I had to take Avery in to the Doc this morning. Yesterday she started coughing and running nose...Its clear but there is mucus everywhere. I hate seeing my baby sick. its no fun. this morning she was hacking and coughing so hard, but still no temp. Batman decide between phone calls to the Sheriffs office and the DA to set up Avery an appointment with the Pediatrician for 10:15 we didn't get seen till almost an hour later and the Doctor hooked us up with a nebulizer and script. Avery has the beginning stages of bronchitis, poor thing. She's wiped out right now, missed her lunch time and just is feeling awful. I'm so very thankful for Batman being a good daddy. He really loves us girls and doesn everything in his power to make sure we're ok. so gladd he's here right now helping with this. the stupid jail house needs to go and find murderers, and rapeist that are running around loose instead of trying to mess up the lives of a family man

its all a big joke

we took Batman out to the county jail around 1130 lastnight, he told me not to go in with him and we said our tearful goodbyes in the parking lot. I watched as he walked into the building to turn himself in and I made the hour and a half drive home with Avery asleep in the back seat.
it was nearly 1am before I got to the house and my cell phone was ringing...I had forgotten to take it with me so it had been laying on the couch. Batman was calling to say that he was refused entry to the jail (weirdest thing ever because in the 4 years I have known him, the jail houses are more then eager to take a mug shot) my sister's boyfriend ended up drivin out to pick him up and we talked on the the way and decided that he might as well sleep at home and figure this stuff out in the morning since it was going to be 3 am before he got home.
This morning, he'sbeen on the phone trying to talk with the DA to make sure its not going to turn into a warrant (as long as he turned himself in by Monday midnight he was taking care of his trouble , not getting into extra mess)
THis whole business is a joke.
The county clerks office doesnt have a thing filed on him. the DA doesnt know what's happening and probably in a month or so this is going to catch back up with Batman and he wont be able to drive his BATMOBILE because the offense deals directly with his driveers liscense.
but as for yesterday and then this morning....there is no offense for Batman to turn himself in for
WHat to do? WHat to do?

I'm just thrilled that he's home with me right now and we're getting along in the love department so I'm a happy woman.
three cheers for staying out of jail
hiphip horrah!
hiphip horrah!
hiphip HorRAH!!!

THIs is the day

Its monday and sometime today Batman has to turn himself in......not a very happy day in my head or heart. I tried to get some assistance with the baby last night since I'm going to be the only one with her for the next 8 days. It sucks because Hes still in bed right now and the baby is wanting to play, I'm letting her yell from her crib for a few while I take a minute to catch you all up on our trip.
we left early last saturday and arrived Sunday morning in Boulder. theres a resturant in Boulder called the BUFF that serves 99 cent mimosas and bloody marys with awsome breakfast skillets. we stopped and rewarded ourselves for making the long drive and with a baby. Avery was such a good traveler, sleeping most of the way. she still woke up from midnight till 2am and played with me in the back seat of the truck. we drive a hondaridgeline thanks to my dad and it made the trip such fun. once we finished with breakfast at the BUff, we drove into Nederland, a small mountain comunity about 15 miles northeast of Boulder and we met up with Batmans childhood friend Nathan and his son Dakota. I hadnt seen these folks in over 2 years and they really hadnt changed alot exept that Dakota is into TRansformers now

ok, Avery is really mad, I'll finish this later.
maybe Batman should get up and spend some time with his daughter before he's gone for over a week. I mean he has 8 days to sleep while he's locked up......sleeping is the only thing to do in jail or at least thats what i heard.
wish me luck on today. its deffinately going to be a challange

I survived Colorado

and minus degree temps. !!!! I will talk more about it soon but for right now I'm sleepy. we drove straight through the night and let avery sleep.
Batman wants me to tell you all that he went snowboarding....notice how i said HE went snowboarding instead of WE. I chickened out bad and ended up crying like a baby i was so scared. Badtime on the slopes but the trip was nice. We 've been getting along so nicely , I guess there's something about being in Colorado that makes BAtman happy.
ok , I'm going to try and hit the bed while Avery is taking her morning nap...hope its long enough to catch up on some rest.
Its freazing in here, i want my toes under the blankets and FAST :)
have lots of pictures to show, I'll post more later

We're leaving Sunday morning for Boulder Colorado and will be returning sometime the following weekend....batman went to court and set up the time to turn himself in for monday the 20th (oh, and on top of him having to get locked up....he also has to pay over $700 to them) Josanna will be flying up to help me drive avery down to Houston on Wednesday so next week might be lite on the blogging. I'll check in when I can.
I am doing everything in my power to help make this a fun trip. I even went out yesterday with batman and picked up some winter gear for on the mountain and was talking like I'[m going snowboarding with him.....Have i lost my mind? I hate going down hill. I've skied crosscontry up in Wisconsin back when I was 10 years old but that was in the woods with my uncle, I'm petrified of the ski lift....I don't want to freak out on it because Batman has absolutely no tolerance for that, I think i will just have to throw myself off the mountainside and he can find my twisted body at the bottom of the slope. I'm not a downhill sorta girl....i can go up stairs just fine but I've fallen going down. I have such a fear, could it be from the moment i broke my ankle as a toddler going down the steps into my parents basement? (big breath) and what about Avery? Batman says he will guarantee a babysitter for her whenever we are snowboarding.
I've been dreaming alot about surfing, maybe in preparation for this trip. Wish it was surfing, the sun, the water, the current of the waves, now that is my idea of a fun time. Not this freezing your ass off taking a machine that rides you to the top of a mountain only for you to slide down it. (ok, robyn, good attitude, good attitude) He said if i shave my armpits that we can have sex! I'm so irritated with him that I haven't been grooming myself, I figure if he's not touching me, then why on earth should i be clean and trim. this marriage is the worst idea mankind has ever come up with. they say sex stops when you have a kid and I've heard others say , it stops after you get married, well this year has been a very dry year and I've done both of those things in the last 5 months. Maybe Batman would realize that my attitude would GREATly improve if the loving got underway......he just doesn't get it. maybe I'll shave my armpits today and see what happens. dont mean to gross any of you out, sorry if i have. these are the things that have been bother ing me for several months now. I probably have said too much so if you are reading this Nate......(batmans friends up in Co.) dont you dare mention a word of it to him. and you should have left that comment about my breast being on here alone. I was nursing Avery in that picture so deal with the image of a working teat.

HNT _ bathing beauties!

its halfnekkid THursday again and i thought i would share with you Avery's bathtime (once again) its her favorite time to play. and yes, i get in the tub with her still. I fear an attack from her to my tits so i wear a bikini top. just dont want to be in the tub all slippery wet and her decide that its dinner time.



if you dont know what half nekkid thursday is all about, go and check out osbasso;s link in my list of friends on the right.

We are going on our trip (now called the Family Vacation) to Colorado and instead of it being a tremendous 10 excursion, I convince Batman that Avery and I would be much happier if it was simply 5 days...... I think this might actually work out now. I dedicated myself by purchasing some hiking boots today and feel pretty prepared for the Family Vacation. Don't know what i need as far as warm clothes for my baby but hopefully we can figure that out before we leave.

Dinner with Josanna was fun. we met up with her out in Los Collinas and then hung out in her hotel room for awhile. it was hilarious because I had given her a picture of her and Avery at the Wedding, one that she had asked me for a copy of and I put it in a frame and gave it to her on the drive back to the hotel...i guess it must have been too dark in the truck because when we got out and were walking through the lobby, josanna flips out and laughs at herself saying that she didnt recognize her and avery in the photo.....she had thought it was just some pretty model that the manufacturer had used in the frame , isnt that nuts to not recognize your own face? I guess her holding Avery and How much Avery has changed in the last 2 months is confusing. I dont know, sometimes my friends and I can be a bit ditzy. Love Josanna so much and I'm planning for sure to go down and hang with her in Houston while Batman is in THE CAVE doing his 8 days.

pics for nate dog!

mom is getting back from florida today. she hasnt seen avery since the wedding 2 months ago...I know she's going to throw a fit over how much avery has changed and why didnt i stop it from happening..I'm so excited about having mom back. I hope things settle back into normal for my family. ever since avery was born in sept. and my papa joe died, there has been ongoing travel back and forth from Tx. to Florida and now I just want my family to find a groove again.

my longtime Best girlfriend Josanna is in town today and tomorrow,,,!!!!!I'm happy we get to see each other and go for dinner tonight. it will be a greatly needed relief to see her smiling face afterwhat my marriage is going through right now.
the weekend was rough, we went out , had a babysitter for Avery and BAtman and I ran around funkytown and I was trying to make an effort to be sweet and complimentary towards my husband. Saturday morning I did my best to seduce him and was told the same answer I always am in regards to having sex ; "Later...robyn." "when later?" "just not rightnow" (I'm getting to be used to this and rarely try it anymore, its very sad) we havent found out when later is in almost 3 weeks now but he was happy to learn that his incometax return is going to be almost tripple what he's gotten in years past. um, I think at least a grand should go to me and AVery since we're the reason his return is as large as it is.....ironic that he goes and gets his taxes done right before he plans to leave for Colorado dont you think?
anyway, Batman and I finally talked a little bit lastnight about how everything is failing in our relationship and it felt good to finally hear him talk about his feelings. granted it was after a huge yelling match but Batman kinda expressed himself and I got to see a different perspective on our problems instead of only seeing my own problems or unhappiness. it felt better in a way because I've missed comunicating with him, even if it was 'a fight' at least I could hear his voice and know his mind instead of trying to read it all the time. I swear i must be wear ing his forhead thin trying to pear into what goes on in his head....
but Josanna is here and I see her tonight!!! she's already talking about me coming down to visit her in Houston for when I'm spending THE TIME AWAY from Batman. she's such a great girlfriend and I love her so very much

so I just ate 10 pieces of bacon and I'm wondering how long its gonna be till i get sick. it was turkey bacon and the packaging said something about 55% less fat so really it was like only eating 5 pieces of normal bacon. I know I'm a glutton. I eat for comfort sake and i've been feeling so lonely and down in the dumps. every day is the same here, and I have anxiety about facing tomorrow, i just dont want to have another 'today' I spend all my time with Avery and EVERY moment of her day requires me to clap my hands like a sillly monkey and brighten her day and I dont have much to brighten mine. I mean , yes, my daughter is amazing (i wish she could expand her vocabulary and be polite when she needs something instead of hitting me and screaming for it) daily diapers of different colors are our excitement around here, and I like to get into Avery 's closet and dress her but that only irritates my baby. so no fun for mommy.
...just stick another piece of bacon in my mouth and count the seconds it takes to melt

oh and one more depressing thought is how beautiful the Turkey is...I wandered over to PETA on line and accidentally watched a video (scarred my brain) dont do it, I 'm warning you, but ever since then I've been working towards being a vegetarian or at least cutting down to eliminate meat at somepoint.... its been close to two weeks now, maybe thats part of my loneliness, I 'm missing the meat.
dont know, I'm just disappointed in helping destory such magnificent animals.... yup, I think I'm starting to get ill
````````````````````````````
ok, for those of you who dont get why I'm in a slump when I get to stay home with my beautiful daughter all day..... I'm facing her daddy having to get locked up for 8 days here pretty soon. there's been a dark shadow over me ever since we learned about it and theirs nothing we can do, except pick the date Batman wants to surrender and do his time and then it really will be just me and Avery 24 hours a day for 8 days. i'm kinda freaked about it. my girlfriend has offered to stay with me, I havent said a word of this to my parents so if your reading this mom or dad, talk to Batman about it. the courts were wanting 60 days of jail time and we talked them down to 10 and he gets credit for the two days he sat originally ...I'm just so fed up with the whole court drama, Batman wants to head out to Colorado for his birthday and I say he needs to get this court shit taken care of before he plans to play " But then I'll be in jail on my birthday?" (you got yourself into this mess, its time to act like a grownup and do the responsible thing here) only I'm not allowed to voice my opinion. I'm just suppose to grin and bear it

Today my site meter reads 13,200 visits and thats been since june when I first got it set up . I think I should reward myself today, who would have thought that there are that many people that come and read my complaints and ramblings. actually I am pretty sure its the pictures of Avery that everyone keeps coming back for :)

yes, I have the most precious little girl, God has blessed me beyond any understanding. I'm so thankful for her health and marvel over how incrediblly smart Avery is. I wonder if there was a meter that could count how many times in a day I tell her that I love her, how many it would be.....I think I've passed 15times just this morning.
we get up in the morning and she giggles and smiles when she recognizes my face leaning over her crib. She slamms her feet into her mattress making it bounce and laughs with excitement knowing that her day is about to get started with her favorite mommy. I love my daughter (does that count as 16times now?) when I reach into her crib and pull her to my chest to get her out, my sweet Daughter knows how to give hugs and snuggles into my neck. I have made a new girlfriend this past week with the wife of a guy that works with Batman and they have a daughter Alexis that is a few weeks younger than Avery and the first time Kim held Avery, she was so touched that my daughter knew how to give hugs and was being affectionate to a new woman...I think Avery sensed that she was a mommy too and the fact that Kim is an attractive woman always makes babies behave funny. Have you ever noticed that a pretty person is welcomed so much quicker than say, someone who is not so attractive? even animals behave in this way, something about our brains , I dont agree with better treatment based on outward appearance and I hope Im able to teach my daughter that. but in the same mind set, I hope I'm able to teach Avery to not be so careless and blind when it comes to befriending people. I have been so dumb at times and do not know how to judge people, therefore I've befriended some of the wrong sorts of people and paid greatly in the end....i'm still learning to be a better judge of character and rely heavily on Batmans guidance. Anyway, enought about me.
My daughter is terrific and I kiss her way too much.... I want her slobber all over my face because I have a theory that's what keeps your skin soft and youthful.

Todays agenda since Batman is off work is to get Avery's and my name changed....at the hospital I was irritated with Batman for hogging the birth certificate papers and I refused to recognize him as her daddy and now we need to get that remedied. She currently has my maiden name and now that Batman and I are married, we really need to update names and such. I'm halfway reluctant about the name change and recommended that Batman just switch his name to match ours..... 2 out of 3 of our family members already match and we're living off of my daddy right now so why not have Batman switch to our family name? he wasnt that cool with the idea and I guess I should follow the rules of history and switch my name out to join my husband...guess that would keep the peace
wish me luck and if I'm having to get my drivers license redone, pray the picture turns out alright lol
