Phillies vs Yankees!

Bill's boss Mike bought tickets for the Yankees vs. Phillies at the new Yankee Stadium. It was a lot of fun. 13 of us went and Mike paid for pretty much everything. He said he just wanted to show them that he appreciates his management team. Everyone we went with was Yankee fans and of course since Bill is from Philadelphia we wore Phillies shirts! It was a great game. Phillies won 4-3 in extra innings.



On the way home we stopped in Jersey to get gas and were talking about where to eat. Mike said since we were gonna be getting home late he would rather get fast food and keep on the road. Everyone was okay with it except Tracy who was in the bathroom and didn't get to voice her opinion. Since we were leading we stopped at this steak house since it was the first place we saw. Bill looks over and sees a guy that appears to be dead with his head on the steering wheel and truck still running. The guys go over to check it out and the guy had a syringe in his hand and a tow rope in his lap. So we go in and tell the manager who calls 911. Guy ended up waking up but I'm pretty sure he was going to jail for shootin up in the back parking lot!

All in all the day was a lot of fun but extremely long!

No-win situation..

Alyssa, I have to say, I'm slightly jealous of your life and your family and how well things are going for you (jealous but also super happy for you, you deserve it!). Lately, Bill and I just don't get along.. I sometimes wonder if him moving here wasn't the best idea. We don't have anything in common, and we don't do anything together. Days off he spends in the garage doing whatever to the jeep, so regardless if Bill's off or at work I have to have my mom or Daleann (my friends mom that watches Evan for me) watch Evan if I need to do something or go somewhere without him. I guess I imagined that when he moved here it would be like a fairytale and its just not. So this is my little bitchfest because I need to vent..

Daleann keeps Evan on Friday nights because usually both of us work late and than have to be back to work early the next day and it gives us a break which is nice! So last night I got out early and Nicole and I went to Applebees and ate. A couple of my friends called to see if I wanted to go out so I text Bill and told him to just let me know when he would be done with work and I would call a taxi and come home.. so he texted me at about 1030 and I said I would grab a cab and he told me not to worry about it, just don't be out until 3am. So I hangout a little longer and at 1230 I call a cab and go home. Normally, he would get mad because I would go to afterhours or whatever but I went home BEFORE the bar closed in an attempt to not make him mad. Apparently my attempt didn't work because he was still mad. For what I'm not really sure but he was!


Every year Bill does a fishing tournament the first weekend in June with his friend Steve. So he's been talking about it lately because it's coming up.. (please tell me if this is out of line): I tell him that since his parents don't see Evan a whole lot and he's going to be in Williamsport anyways why not ask his parents if they would want to watch Evan that weekend. I'll be at work anyways most of the time and it would give my parents a break since they have one or both of the grandkids pretty much every day. He says that his parents work on Friday and he's going down Thursday night so it wouldn't work. However, his sister lives 5 mins from them and doesn't work and offers all the time for Evan or all three of us to stay at her house. So I suggest that maybe she could watch Evan Thursday night and Friday until his parents are done work. Then he gets defensive and thinks that I have big plans for that weekend or something and thats why I want them both gone. Clearly, he's allowed a weekend alone and I am not.


He washes work clothes only... when asked to HELP me do the dishes he refuses.. and completely doesn't understand that school is like having a second job therefore I cannot possibly take care of Evan, pick up after both of them, and clean the house all by myself.. oh and still get the piles of homework done! This probably being the reason why I failed my class this semester (fill ya in on that one another time).


This one is definitely the topping on the cake...
About a month ago I found emails from his ex Jade. Yes the crazy one that keyed my car and made my life hell the whole time I was pregnant. He told her that he only moved here because she left him and he had no other choice.


I know you're probably like this guy is a flaming douchebag and you need to get away but I don't know what to do anymore. I wanna give up.

Happy Mom's Day to me!

Bill and I went and got a couple's massage yesterday for mother's day. It was nice to do something just the two of us- even though we didnt really talk or anything! Quietness was nice... and the massage was amazing!

Cock-a-doodle-doo

For those of you who didn't know.. Bill is from Philadelphia- therefore, he is a huuuge eagles fan. Evan's new favorite word is "cock-a-doodle-doo" and every time we go outside he points to this tin rooster thing on the neighbors porch and says "cock-a-doodle-doo" over and over. How does this have to deal with the fact that Bill's from Philly?? well.. Evan thinks it's funny to point to eagles stuff and say "cock-a-doodle-doo" as Bill repeatedly trys to explain to him that its an eagle not a rooster! I told Bill that he has to tell Evan what a eagle says and his response? " I don't know what an eagle says!" It's quite hilarious!

Trav's Birthday

Last Sunday we went to Lock Haven for a little birthday party for Bill's son, Travis who turned 9 on the 9th. When we were making plans for the party I decided that I wanted to make Trav's birthday cake. So I decided on a two layer funfetti cake with chocolate frosting and then decorated it.. after making the cake I remembered that Travis is in the stage where something that is his favorite today he will probably hate tomorrow. So I was really unsure if he would even like it.

We get down to Bill's parents and all the kids play outside all day and we kind of just relax before heading to Bill's sister Gwen's for dinner and cake. Travis hadn't seen the cake all day, and as dumb as this sounds I was nervous because I kept thinking that he would hate the cake lol. But anyways, we finally get the cake out and he said that it looked good but when Sandy (Bill's stepmom) tells Trav that I made it he ran lol... later he said that "rainbow cake" is his new favorite so I guess I did all right!

The cake I made for Travis

Evan's girlfriend Lexi

So my best friend's fiance has a two year old little girl, Lexi. Lately, Nicole has been bringing Lexi over to play with Evan and Lexi was always really shy and didn't really want anything to do with Evan. Evan on the other hand followed her around like a little puppy.

So the other day Nicole brings Lexi over and Evan gets in this pop-up hamper because he likes to play peek-a-boo. and Lexi wants to get in it too. So both the kids are in the hamper.. Next thing we know they both sit down and are popping out of it yelling peek-a-boo! It was really cute. Now Lexi likes to play with Evan, and when Nicole wants to leave she doesn't want to.

These next pics are of Evan and my nephew Cameron..

Cam wasn't happy when my sister dropped him off, so Evan's trying to make him feel better by showing him his toys

Evan actually posed for a picture. Normally you have to sneak attack him with the camera!

Day of Nothing..

Today the three of us got up and around, Bill left for work, and Evan and I did pretty much nothing. It was nice. No school, no work. Just me and the little guy. Days like today make me wish I didn't have to work or go to school...

A little bit about me..

My name is Rachael. I live in a little town called Painted Post with my boyfriend, Bill, and our son, Evan. I work at Tag's as a server, and go to Corning Community College for nursing.

Bill and I met when I was going to school at Lycoming College in Williamsport, PA. To make a long story short- I moved home when I was pregnant and Bill moved here this past August. So far, things are going well. We have our little arguements, but who doesn't?

I can't cook- that's probably why I date one. lol. And I'm very picky when it comes to food. I love pizza, seafood, and hot sauce!

I love music in general.. but my favorites are most country (especially kenny chesney), and dave matthews band. But my zune contains a little bit of everything from OAR to Red Hot Chili Peppers.
