Christmas is coming...HOORAY!!!

John wants a Playstation 3 and everytime I call him he answeres the phone by saying, "Hello and thank you for calling Best Buy where we have lots of PS3's in stock so come on in and buy one for your loving husband." Seriously....it's every time I call him. Pretty funny huh? John has been working pretty hard this entire year helping me out at the store. He has been great at letting me have time to spend with Addy.

Speaking of Addy. She can wave Bye Bye now and she knows what it means. She says Hi and waves aas well. We are sooooo proud. She still won't crawl though. She has too much going on for that crawling business. She just tries to poull up on everything. We are looking forward to her opening presents on Christmas. It's so much fun shopping for the family.

Things have finally slowed down at the store. I am so tired of all the last minute shippers wanting their packages to their destination before Christmas. Only because they all say...How Much?!? It's gonna cost me that much!!! To whick I reply with a smile..." you shouldn't have waited so long." They smirk at me and still pay the $80 it costs to ship. Tell me...please...someone...what's the point in complaining if you are going to ship it any way. Sorry...I'm better now that I got to vent.

Anyway...hope you all have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Lots of Love, Mer

Update for Jody's sake (he he)

Sooooooooo. Addison is trying to firgure out how to crawl. She rocked back and forth on the knees and arms this morning (10/26) for the first time. It was pretty cool to see. For those of you who are not aware....Addison had problems pooping in the begining and we finally think she figured it out. (hooray) We have been wondering why everyone says diapers are so expensive considering our little bundle of love never shits. :) Addy started waking up in the middle of the night again and I came to find out that this has been going on and her daddy (sucker) has been getting up and feeding her. Needless to say...he is in BIG trouble. I try to listen to what the doctor says. I turned the monitor off and let her cry, but ohhhhh nooooo not her daddy. She has him wrapped around her little finger.

As for young Spychaj. Well....he is pretty much the same. He still likes pizza and drinking beer. He does have a new hobby though. (please see picture) He likes to watch football whilst taking long, hot, relaxing bubble baths. We have this battery powered ghetto TV that he puts on the bathroom counter and he sits in the tub with his cucumber melon scented bubble bath and soaks. Yes ladies and getntlemen I think he might be gay.

And finally as far as I go. I was suffering from bad headaches for about 5 weeks strait. The doc said they were "muscle contraction" headaches. I got paranoid because nothing was working (medicine). So I had an MRI scheduled, but the doc insisted it wasn't "medically neccesary." I didn't feel like paying the $1200.00 it was going to cost me so I decided to just deal with it. I didn't really think I was that stressed out. So to cope with the stress I created a personality. I decided I am Meredith when I am at work and MOM at home. Meredith can deal with the bills and work and MOM can sit back and appreciate everything she has. (a house, a car, a daughter, a business.....the American Dream) It's working, because when I wake up at 3 am and start thinking about work as I am sure a bunch of us do.....I stop myself and picture Addison and my husband and how truly happy they both make me. I haven't pattented the whole multiple personality idea (yet) so feel free to create your own. (ha ha ha) I know NUTCASE right???

Seriously though. The Spychaj family is doing great. We are having everyone over this weekend for a pre Thanksgiving dinner. I am making the turkey and dressing. You guys bring what you want.

Ok Jody.....was that a good enough update?

Where r they now???

I know I'll turn her picture later



Well John and I decided to move outside the "bubble" and now live in..( I am sad to say) Good ole' Tomball, TX. (side note:...when reading Tomball, TX you must say it in a thick back woods texas accent) :) Okay so we are ready for Christmas to approach not only for the business, but for Addy too. I can't wait to spend all that money on gifts just to watch her play with the boxes the gifts came in.

On a lighter note and to show a little less of my cynical side. Things really are going well for John and I. He asked me the other day if we were living the "American Dream." Hmmmmm let's see John works all of about 20 hours a week and I work about 30 hours. We have a house and our 1 out 2.5 kids. I'd say we are doing all right.




John and I have started a new business venture. We now do marketing and promotional items for small to large businesses. So if anyone needs their logo on absolutely anything...let me know.

Addison has found her feet. She tries to suck on her toes and rolls from her back to her stomach. The doctor said she has never heard a baby talk as much as Addison does. Do you think she gets that from me??? So this is Addy at the store...she doesn't know I am recording her with my phone at first...but then she sees me and stops.
Ok this is enough for now.
