6 years ago today

At this very moment I turned my head to the left, looked at the clock it said 6:28pm and then I heard my son cry for the very first time. At 6:29 I turned my head to the right and there he was, covered in all the goopy-ness that newborns have, looking a little swollen with a coned shaped head. The very first thing out of my mouth was, "Star, he has really big balls." Yea, things 19-year-old moms say jeez.

Nyx, God(dess) of Night, I couldn't think or picture naming him anything else. Although technically it is a girls name I felt it was perfect for him. He had these beautiful puckered up apple red lips, spotchy pink cheeks and a tightly clenched fist. My heart gave a deep sigh of relief when he came out chunky (9lbs. 3.3ounces and 21" long) with his agpar scores 9 respectively it was the like the world started all over again just for us.

In a way it really did. I changed everything in my life when I realized I was pregnant. I stopped doing drugs, cigarettes, and drinking cold turkey and never looked backed. I quit partying and focus on my (our) future and I worked very hard to reach my goals. I learned to take responsibilty for all my actions. I took initiative to move ahead in life. I gave us a fresh new start.

But no matter what with every passing year I really can't believe how much time as gone by, how much we have grown, the memories we continue to build, or simply the fact that you aren't tiny baby anymore.

*Sigh*

Boy I'm feeling old.

Halloween 2009

Halloween is truly one of my favorite holidays of the year. It's up there with my birthday (yes it's a holiday to me) and Christmas. It's a great time to dress up and pretend to be someone else. A time to just be a kid again. I'm sure you can dress up and pretend when you are older, but then you just get strange looks and people don't talk to you lol.

Though this year was a bit high strung and stressed, thanks to J. But I think with me spilling so much of my personal life lately I will be keeping some things to be self for a while. In the end of it all we had a great time.

We carved two pumpkins, Autobots and Decepticons. That was an adventure, usually I have Preston helping me, but he couldn't take off from work early so it was just me and the kiddo. I'd have to say we did a damn good job.

The only festivity we didn't partake in was decorating the home. With us trying to clean out our storage units, unpack boxes, and sort things for a garage sale we had no room for decorations. It was ok though Nyx didn't seem too bothered by that. It was the pumpkins he really wanted.

After carving the pumpkins we decided to check out the festivities happening in the mall. They had arts and crafts tables set up, a pirate (fish pond)game, a haunted house and a performance of Thriller in the food court. We did them all. With Nyx's favorite being the Thriller performance, we sat through two shows of it. Mine was the haunted house. The set up was ok I guess it was better than previous years, but it being Nyx's first time was what I loved about it. He started off excited, then as we went through he got a little scared, and then once we were out he was Joe Cool "It wasn't that scary." But when asked if he wanted to do it again he quickly replied "No." lol.

The most awkward part of our trick or treating? Have to be the fact that Preston, Nyx, and I also had J. with us. No fighting or bickering happened, but I swear J. always amazes me on how he survives everyday. Yet alone the fact that I have to leave my son in his hands every weekend. :|

Nyx dressed up as Bakugan Dan. It was really cute and his favorite part of his costume was the gloves. I think it's the whole Micheal Jackson thing. I'm quite surprised he didn't choose to be M.J. in the first place. Amazingly, this is the first time his costume actually fit him perfectly too. Since he is on the small size his costumes are usually hanging off of him. :)

I dressed up as Chun Li from, yes, Street Fighter. Initially I wanted to be her, but the moment I put in my order I was second guessing myself. I really wanted to be the Baroness from G.I. Joe, but for the life of me couldn't find her costume. Then I wanted to be the Mad Hatter, but Hope and Monique already had claims to her. Then I fell in love with The Queen of Hearts expect her costume was $164. I then ordered Ms. Krueger outfit. When that outfit came in and Nyx saw it, jealousy overcame him. He's starting to get into the whole Horror movie genre and loves Freddy and Jason. I was literally ordered to be Chun Li and that next year we will dress up as the Krueger family.

So Chun Li it was. I actually ended up loving it. Since this makeup addiction is taking over me I actually went with Jen @ FrmHeadtoToe's Snowy Ice Princess tutorial to complete Chun Li's look. But I made a few changes to it. I used much less sparkle and didn't add NYX's (the cosmetics not to be confused with my son lol) purple I stuck with mainly The Body Shop's 01 palette. I have to say I loved the end result.

So that sums up our Halloweeen, now I shall drown you in pictures. :D
