Just one more day

Karly is 5 months and 9 days old today.
She rolls over, plays with her toes, smiles all the time, blow raspberries, and laughs. She is perfect! two and half month ago i was facing the scariest moments of my life and they FOREVER changed me. Dr's told me my child would most likely need a very invasive skull surgery, and that was the best case scenario. Years of physical therapy, possible repeat surgeries, and plastic surgery was our future. God stepped in and intervened and we got out of it with a baby and a slightly lumpy head! If he had not i would be preparing right now to put her through the first of multiple surgeries. This is the age my friends lost her sweet boy after a seemly simple surgery. I look back and all the feelings of " I SIMPLY CANNOT DO THIS GOD, I WILL NOT" screamed with clenched teeth and teary eyes come back! I vow to NEVER take for granted, I have my perfect baby and she is healthy and i love her more than words. I don't have to. God swooped in a saved the day. And everyday from that day forward i will remain thankful. One more day i get with my beautiful family. One more day i get to instill in my children a thankful, obedient, god like spirit! One more i day to try to make my heavenly daddy proud...

Price Check on Tampons-Super Plus- Sented!

So why is it when you are sleep deprived, at your wits end, and grouchy the world seems to go out of their way to step on your toes? Or is it that we just notice the stepping on of the toes more when we are in a weakened state? Really did the lady turn around and scowl at me for no reason-was the brand new male checker just as embarassed as i was when the super plus tampons didn't ring up right- Did the person who cut me off then slam on the brakes and go under the speed limit then stop for a bus before the red blinking lights came on... no there's no excuses for that dude... - My point is... Why does it seems like people go out of their way to irritate you when you are having a down day?

New funny kid story

Kendra this morning was playing with her bathing suit cover-up, its a tub top and skirt, and i was laying beside her on the ground. She said "mama come here, close yours eyes" So i closed them. She put the tub top over my head as i was giggling and made it into a blind fold. I could see through it a bit and saw her make a little fist, real back, "Close yours eyes mama" and punch me right in the nose... ~July 2009


Kendra was out by the pool with my Dad when she hopped onto the first step. My dad said "Kendra you can't get in the pool, you have to ask first" She yelled "ASK!" ~July 2009

Kendra was feeling a bit feisty the other day. She ran up to her brother and began wailing on him. Hitting him with her hand and every time her hand came in contact with her brothers chest she said "NEE NEE SORRY" "NEE NEE SORRY" "NEE NEE SORRY" (Kendi calls herself "Nee nee") Apparently she was killing two birds with one stone! ~July 2009

Kendra was playing out side my parents house. It is gated off to keep little ones away from the pool. She was on the porch and Diesel (my brother huge American Bull Dog) was on the pool side of the fence. Suddenly she runs back into the house with a giant slobbery arm and a big scratch on her chest, she was screaming and crying hysterically. She points at her chest and screams "Diesel scratched my booby" My mom gave her a sympathetic look trying to hide her smile and giggles, when Kendra ran out the door to the gate looked diesel in the eye and began to stomp her foot, finger pointed, scowl on her face and tell him off "diesel you don't huwt my booby, you don't cratch my booby diesel bad boy!" ~July 2009

Aidan and Kendra either play nicely together in the car, fight in the car, or play alone. Most of the time they fight! The other day they were playing quietly by there selves, Aidan had a transformer Kendi had a Tinkerbell, who she calls Belle-belle. Quietly Aidan started singing the transformer song "transformers, robots in disguise" i turned and smiled at him because he is just so cute when Kendra started to sing "belle belle belle belle in disguise" to the tune of the transformers song . ~June 2009

when i grow up

When i grow up i am going to invent Nannies that give Mommies sick days!!!! This morning i was preparing dinner (crock pot chicken spaghetti) barfing in the sink while holding three month old Karly. THen kendra comes in an starts rambling off the things she wants to eat and between that and the raw chicken i loose it... ihead for the sink and hope its clear cuz THAR SHE BLOWS>... When kendi grabs my leg and sits on my foot. I CRANE my neck and stretch my body and pull my leg with all my might! It all ended well... except for my poor coffee which came back up with a vengeance. So ... back to my original thought... I am going to invent Nannies that are covered under your insurance to come in when mommies are sick and daddies are at work. They come in and be mommy for the day, week, month whatever the DR orders... Don't steal my idea... I'm so gonna patent it!

I'm simply giddy!

Giddy.... Giddy... Giddy...........GIDDY
