Hello again

Hello there...do you remember me? I used to post here frequently but I've been away. Obsessed. Addicted. Completely involved with someone else. Someone who does not exist.

You see I have been introduced to this...addiction.. and until it's complete I'm stuck like glue. I've been reading the Twilight Series books and loving them. I'm on the last one and I will be finished very soon. I think I may morn this! Seriously, the characters of this story effect every part of my day. I have to know what is coming next. I admit, I was never a reader. Never. Now is a different story. I love that I can completely escape reality for what seems like moments only to look up and it's been hours that I have lived in this....fairy tale. Surprisingly my husband has been fine with it, he has only hidden the book one time. My kids on the other hand, get irritated with me at times because I'm not getting what they want fast enough but all in all, every one is fine. Fed, bathed, played with, happy. I.love.it.

Kinley woke up feeling bad this morning. I usually am greeted by a huge toothy smile trying to pull up on her crib and babbling at me, this morning she was laying down, covered in crusty mess and trying to breathe. Holding her blankie. Eyes red. She did smile when I talked to her and reached to pick her up but she quickly rested her head on my shoulder. Poor girl. I felt so terrible for her. Seems to be only her nose but I know that can make you feel really crummy at times. I hope she is better this afternoon. My sugar bear.

The boys are fine. I guess. For now anyway. They have been arguing over EVERY LITTLE THING and it is making me CRAZY!!! Caleb is trying his best to make my head explode, I know it. Yes, we will get past this but SHEESH! They yell, scream, tug, hit, push and cry for whatever it is they are fighting over. Makes me insane. I have started putting them in time out and taking the toy away completely but this does not seem to work. They come out of time out, apologize to each other and immediately start yelling and crying again when they realize the toy has been taken away.

Anyhoo, I'm good and Hubs is great. They are installing blinds in my house as we speak. I'm excited to see. That's all for now!

This and that...

Kinley got her ears pierced and looks super cute! I love them. Yes - she cried and yes - I felt like a horrible mother for inflicting unnecessary pain on my sweet baby girl BUT, said and done I'm glad I did it. And she is too, i just know it!! Hubs came home and told me our jeweler was going to market and would bring home princess cut diamonds for her pretty little ears. He said, "princess cut for my little princess". Awwwwww, sweet Daddy. He has always wanted a little girl to buy jewelry for, I guess it's not as much fun to buy for your wife and the mother of your children. *insert jealous snarl* I just told him they had better be tiny or I wont let her wear them. Her lobes are sooooo small. My pretty princess!!!

Cohen is doing super with his potty business. Although, yesterday he pooped and instead of telling me he was outside and pulled down his pants, took off his pull-up and dumped out the poop. Caleb came running in to inform me. He just told me " Nasty, Mommy!" Silly kid. He is getting the picture. I'm just glad it wasn't on the living room floor!

Caleb is great too. We are going to visit my sister for her birthday and he is soooo excited. We are stopping in Fredericksburg at the wildseed farms to visit the butterfly farm. I'm excited too!! I just hope they don't throw us out for Cohen squashing them. You know him and bugs....they don't mix. He LOVES to stomp on the poor unsuspecting creatures.

This will be our first family trip together. I'm excited. Pray for us! Three kids, in a car, for 4 hours. This could get ugly. Thankfully my MIL is letting us use her suburban and she is taking my Tahoe for the weekend. MUCH more room, and she has a DVD player. SUPER!!!

What is up...

I SO wanted to blog last night but my internet bites so I didn't bother. After work I went to Sassy Fox to get an outfit I found on Friday, they didn't have it. Just my luck. I was so disappointed. I looked around and found another one I loved too. Tried it on and the sleeves were uneven which I thought was weird. I brought this to the lady's attention so she got another one to compare and it was definitely wrong. I tried the medium and it was way too big. I was so bummed because it was SUPER cute.

Depressed, I went down to J. Wilde's and it was horrible. It was like walking into 1972. I thought for a second I walked into a vintage shop or something. I found NOTHING. Went to the Carriage...no thanks. Sucks when I can't satisfy my need for something new and cute.

Anyway, I had to go grocery shopping and I think every person in town was there and their main goal was to piss me off. Family reunion in the middle of every stinking isle. Grandma on her motorized cart, slow as freaking Christmas. I HATED IT. All I wanted to do was go home, feel sorry for myself, and eat cake batter for dinner.

What is wrong with me?!?!?!

My evening did get much better, thank the Lord!!! My afternoon was VERY weird and NO I'm NOT pregnant!!!! Thanks for asking...

Kinley

My sweet yiddle girl gets her ears pierced today!!! EEEK! I am so nervous, its' crazy. I have wanted to have this done for so long but always chickened out. I found out that her Pediatrician does it so I was very excited! I hope he does a good job!!! I dressed her super cute this morning and have my camera in the diaper bag. This is going to be a scrapbook page!!! Oh, I hope she does ok. I'm thinking of getting my second set done again this afternoon, just so I KNOW what she is feeling. I sound ridiculous I'm sure...

Yay for Cohen!!!!

He is trying so hard to grow up on me! Stinker! Last night he told me he needed to potty so I followed him to my bathroom where HE took off his pj bottoms and his diaper, I put him up on the potty then he said.....'cose door Mommy, go way'. So I did. I left it cracked opened a hair so I could see him and he went pee pee!!!! YAY! I made such a big deal out of it and was smiling from ear to ear! I loved it.
Where the need for privacy come in at the ripe old age of 2 years and 3 months I don't know. I was a bit blown back by that but excited for him at the same time. Such a big boy. I'm buying him mini m&m's today to reward him each time he uses the potty.
Saturday he did the same routine but he climbed on my potty before I got there so I didn't see him go, not sure if he did but he was excited so maybe so. We have THREE toilets in my house and both boys have designated MINE as theirs. We all know how messy little boys can be and that is why I was excited that they would have their own. Didn't quite work out that way...

TGIF!!!

I am so glad it is Friday! I get to sleep past 630am tomorrow....hopefully! My sisters are coming to town for an event, but I'm glad I will get to see them some of the time!! I miss them. Things have been very busy for us this week. Our dear friends father passed away Sunday and it has been utter chaos ever since. It was very unexpected.

It has made all of us look at our lives and what is most important. My mom was the same age as our friends dad. Which scares the living crap out of me! Are we really to that age that our parents start dying?!?!? When did that happen? I'm not ready for all this. Hubs and I are meeting with the lawyer next week to do our will. Our Will. What?!? Scary. I have the hardest time thinking about death. I hear people talk all the time about how they are not afraid to die because they will be in a better place and all that jazz. Well I realize that and I'm thankful for that but on the same token...I want my mom and Dad. I want my husband. I am not ready for them to 'move on'. Selfish, Yes. I admit that. I need them. I am not strong enough. Not by a long shot. We will miss you Benjie!!

My family is doing well! Yes it is Friday and the past two, I have had a child get sick by the evening, one hospitalized. I am beginning to DREAD Fridays. We will see if today breaks that horrible trend. Let's pray!!!! I sent everyone to day care this morning happy and healthy, I hope I get them back the same way!!! Bubba is great and I am great too!

Sleeping Beauty

I don't have much time at the moment but I wanted to post a picture of my sleeping beauty. She was at her sitter and fell asleep on the Andy doll. She was sucking her thumb and drooling so when her sitter went to straighten her legs, after taking a picture of course, she raised her head to see Angie. Well, Angie saw blue on her cheek and panicked but quickly realized it was the blue dye from Andy's pants that looked like a bruise. Anyway, just wanted you to see my little miss noodle, she is SOOO limber!!
