An actual post

I'm actually blogging this morning..surprised :) The internet was down yesterday so I was cut off from the real world for 24 hours. I tell ya there are days I feel like these four walls are closing in on me. This morning I have to take Allie to the doctor. We got way behind with our checkups before Christmas...I had originally scheduled her 6 month checkup for the Friday after Thanksgiving and then it hit me that it was Black Friday and of course that would never work so I had to reschedule it. Therefore here we are and we are just now getting back. We are very behind!!! Shame on me I know. I'll post later about her stats and of course her adorable pictures!



This little one right here has been the drama in our house. I took him to the doctor and he's been diagnosed with abdominal headaches and migraines. It's been crazy with him since we now have an entire list of foods we have to avoid. I'll post more about that later too.



Here's Lucas. He's the number 44. He is playing his first season of basketball this year and I am amazed at how much he has improved. He's having alot of fun with it although I still enjoy baseball more...shhh don't tell :)



My power ranger..I tell ya this boy amazes me with something new everyday! I can't get enough of him. He's at that stage that everything amazes him and he is continually doing something new and adorable every time you turn around. I just want to pause him and keep him right where he is right now for a few more years!



Here's my princess! This was the first time I gave her applesauce. I believe she thought it was alittle bitter,don't you? I am alittle obsessed with her but I'll admit I can't help it. She's just absolutely beautiful!

Once again..

I said I was going to catch up this week and I am sitting here on Friday morning feeling more behind than ever. The internet was down yesterday so that was one post I didn't get done and I still haven't caught up with all of you. I had to take Jacob to the doctor yesterday..that's another post..I'm hoping to get that one on tomorrow morning. Let's just say that today's Friday and we won't be having our weekend pizza night. He's okay but looks like we're embarking on a new life around here. Allie hasn't been sleeping very much at all so that's leaving one very tired and for when she sleeps it's in our bed one very sore me! I honestly wanted to get up and take a picture last night...David had 2/3 of the bed..Allie was spread out and comfortable which was REALLY what mattered and I had my pillow turned sideways and was on about 6 inches of bed. I woke David up and asked him "what's wrong with this picture?" My body is feeling it and it isn't pleasant not to mention that 3 hours of sleep a night isn't getting me very far.

I still need to post pictures from Christmas so I'm going to try to do that this weekend. Heck I could say I am just going to catch up on everything and there might be a ton of posts from me this weekend but we all know that in all likelihood that won't be happening so I won't say it :) then if something amazing happens we'll all be surprised.

This picture has become one of my favorites..it was taken at the annual Christmas parade in our town. I had my mom take it and I told her to just click,click and click some more. When I get other people to take picture that's what I have to do most of the time in order to make sure I get something I can use :) Any of you feeling my pain out there? Gotta love them for trying though!

What a difference a month makes!

30 days ago today I thought there was absolutely no hope. I thought that I was going to have to find a way to make it through life by myself. 30 days later I have hope. David has been sober for 30 days today! There are still tough days that I go through. I read books about it and there are moments I sit and just scream at the book. There are many things I don't understand and that make absolutely no sense to me at all. I still have times when I can't see the positives regardless of how I view the picture but most of the time I am trying very hard to stay hopeful and positive. He's trying and it is very clear how serious he is about staying sober this time. I am in awe of what he is doing. I am thankful more than anything...30 days without alcohol have been glorious! It is such a relief to not have it. So here we are 30 days later in a completely different boat than where we were 30 days ago. Without a doubt the fight isn't over but for the moment I have hope and that is what matters.

Not Me Monday

It's been a while since I've participated in Not Me Monday. Heck what am I saying..it's been a while since I've done anything pertaining to blogging. I'm trying to work my way back into it..those of you that have gotten behind before know how overwhelming it can be to catch up with everyone.

Now for my Not Me's..let's see if I can get back into this.

I did not take one of Caleb's Christmas presents that he didn't open and rewrap it for his birthday. I mean heck...I did not buy him so many things that by the end he wasn't even interested in opening anymore.

I did not take cupcakes from his birthday and get rid of them by simply licking frosting off the top. I know it's the New Year and I am absolutely focusing on eating healthier and losing the rest of my baby weight this year.

I did not buy 2 bags of peanut butter m & m's this weekend at target and eat both bags within 24 hours.

I do not HEART target...and I definitely could not spend the entire day there if given the chance.

I do not still have Christmas presents piled up in the living room that haven't been put away yet. We don't buy so much for Christmas for our kids that it takes us days..heck it's been a week now to get everything put away.

Whew..that was kinda fun!!! I have to say that I have missed all of you terribly and am so excited(no I did not say dreading ;) catching up with all of you!!!! So beware I'm coming..I'll be catching up with everyone during the week...please don't be mad..I will get around to commenting..I'm just going to take it one blog at a time right now. Now go ahead and head over to MckMama's and check out some more Not Me Monday fun!

New Look for the New Year

I haven't been around lately so this week is going to be catch up for me on my blog and everyone elses. My goal is to post everyday while trying to catch up with all of you throughout the week. Although I haven't been around I have missed bloggy world trememdously.

To start the new year off I have a brand new look!!! Thanks to Amanda who crafted my new look for my blog I finally have that old bland template off of my page :) Thank you so much Amanda!!!! If any of you out there are looking for a new look right now head over to Amanda's page and leave her a comment to see if she might be interested in working on it. She isn't doing them full time yet I don't believe but I do think she likes alittle project now and then. She was amazing at keeping in touch with me and anything I asked she was more than happy to oblige(which wasn't always easy I'm sure) :) I just love this girl!!
