mommy confessions.

I would love to say this week has flown by but that really just isn't the case. It has really just drug by.
I confess that.

I can't believe that Declan is already over a week old crazy.

His 1st week went by with me half drugged.

This has been the hardest recovery after having a baby.

New things pop up every day with trying to recover.

I am truly blessed to have 4 healthy children.

All to often I forget to thank God for the blessings that he has given me.

I had to learn to step back this week and release the control a little.

I am actually glad that there is going to be a lot of snow this weekend.

I am so jealous of all the bloggers at Blissdom.

Even more than them being at Blissdom some of them get to see my man. Harry Connick Jr. Life just isn't fair sometimes.

It is almost 9am and I still haven't done the dishes from dinner last night. It is going to be a mess.

You know what else. I have no plans on doing them in the near future.

The kids have been doing great with the baby.

Paisley is very jealous of him. When I feed him a bottle she wants to lay on me with one also.

I am perfectly OK with it.

I am weaning her off of formula during the day. Yes I have lost my mind to start this.

Well that is about it for me. I have a few others but I will keep those to myself. I hope you all have had a great week and take some time to enjoy the little things this weekend.

What's Happening Wednesday

posted by Kandi

Well, this post originally started out being about Andrea. See, this morning she left for the hospital after getting Evan onto the school bus. I anticipated writing about sending her well wishes and luck in the birth of her new little man (name to be revealed later).

Here they are. The vitals everyone wants to know! He weighed over 8 pounds, is 22 inches long and his name is Declan! Love the name!!

So, as I'm writing this message pops up on Twitter the same time my Facebook page alerts me to something as well. Being the super nosey person I am I stopped to look.

Guess what?? He's here!! Really! Talk about a short labor! Wow! Yet again, he IS number 4, so they do tend to be shorter labor times.

That being said, a huge Congratulations to both Andrea and Tom on the birth of their new little boy! Such a blessing and miracle all rolled into one!

ps. I will post the stats and such as I receive the information. Congrats Andrea, love you all very much and I hope Evan has the best day ever now that he has the little brother he's been asking for!!!!

mommy confessions.

Hey there Friday again and somehow I am still here.

I confess that.

I am still here at 38 weeks. Miracle I think not. It is God playing a silly trick on me.

This baby better come out soon. Or I may just have to throw a temper tantrum.

I went to the dr on Wednesday. I had an U/S the baby is 7.7lbs already and sunny side up OH goody. I went to the Chiropractor last night and here is hoping he was able to shift the baby.

I have been working on this post for about 3 hours now. I keep getting interrupted.

I am doing my cooking for the insanely lazy today. IE cooking for my father.

I am tired of hearing people complain about not having money but not willing to make the sacrifices to achieve a goal.

I actually got around to cleaning my house yesterday.

My son is very upset that he can't come visit when the baby is born.

Every day my kids ask if the baby is doing to be here today.

I am not happy with the name that is chosen. Don't get me wrong I LOVE the first name it is the middle name I don't want. But I gave that to Tommy and said I wouldn't complain. So my kids initials will be DAM.

I confronted my hubby the other day about being a complete jerk and he has been better since then.

I have wonderful friends.

My grandmother is having surgery today to remove knot in her breast and 2 lymph nodes that are cancers please pray that her surgeon makes the right choice in radiation and has a steady hand also for fast healing.

My Paisley slept all night last night. YEAH.

That is it for me I hope you have had a wonderful week and continue to have a great weekend.

mommy confessions.

Yup I know I am a little late today. But you will see why in my confessions.

I confesses that.

I am 37 weeks today.

I am just not myself lately. My sweet little Paisley was up until 6:40 am this morning. She started running a temp for no reason. Thank God for Tylenol.

I really thought we had the sleeping thing down with her but I was wrong.

I am still really nervous on how anybody will deal with her while I am in the hospital.

My house is a complete mess. With not getting sleep the last thing I want to do is clean my house. Anybody want to come help me clean? LOL.

I still have NOTHING for the new baby. I did buy a couple outfits for him over the weekend but 2 outfits don't go far.

I am worried about being a good mother to my children. I feel like the worst mother of all lately because I am just so tired all the time. I worry that my older kids just aren't getting enough attention (the are regressing a lot) and I worry that Paisley will get lost in the shuffle when the new baby comes.

Tommy and I have NOT been on the best terms all week. He got really pissy with me this week when I went out a few times and did stuff for just me NOT the family and that is normally me. I NEVER do me things it is always something for the family.

I have tons to do the next few days. I really need to get my dads menu together, shop for him and get the cooking done. All before I have this baby.

Mixing groups of friends just isn't a good idea. Just because they are my friends doesn't mean they will mix well. You would think I would have learned along time ago but I didn't.

My ex is sending me messages on Facebook asking why I haven't confirmed him as a friend. Really I just don't feel like it right now. LOL.

I cried yesterday when my washer overflowed all over the laundry room and I still can't do any laundry. HELLO I only have so many maternity clothes.

Despite my worries and hectic week I am excited to be able to meet my little boy very soon.

I hope everybody has a great week. Please keep the Hatian people in your thoughts and prayers. If you feel the calling to help please see Kandi's confessions on ways to help with the Red Cross.

Happy 5th birthday Scarlett

Wow I can’t believe my little girl is 5 today. It is crazy how time flies and how much the kids change. It seams like yesterday we were living at my moms having just had her waiting for our new house to be built. 5 years later we are still waiting for that same house to be finished. HAHA. Scarlett has grown into such a sensitive caring young lady. I am so blessed to have her and all her 1 billion imaginary friends.

For the kids birthdays they get to choose their birthday dinner. What did Scarlett choose you ask. Spaghetti and meatballs, mashed potatoes and gravy, corn and peas. She had ice cream and Hannah Montana cupcakes (it would have been something different but my choices were limited last night at Sams club.

Happy Birthday my sweet sweet Scarlett. I love you more each day and my life is richer having you in it.

Dear Franklin Covey

Dear Franklin Covey.

I have been a devote Franklin Covey user for many years. More than I care to say but I will say that I got my first one as a freshman in high school back in the day it was Franklin Quest. I am sorry to say you have lost me forever. I am sad to say that I went in there with my mother and got the worst service EVER. I was looking at the planners for the PC which I have been looking to invest in for some time. The worker asked me what I wanted it for and I told him what I was planning on using it for his response was unthinkable. What you are a stay at home mom. Mom’s don’t need anything they just stay at home all the time. I have never been so insulted in my life. I replied back to him that a stay at home mom stays busier than he will ever imagine and that he is a complete moron. Needless to say my mom and I walked out of the store empty handed.

I have NEVER been insulted like this in my life. Just because I am a stay at home mom doesn’t mean that I sit around and do nothing all day long. I work harder than most people. My job is 24/7 what is yours? I don’t get sick days do you? I don’t get vacation or personal days either do you. YEAH that is what I thought. I have 3 kids with 1 more on the way. I run a household, do bills, schedule appointments, run errands, take the kids to their activities, help out with my extended family. Just to name a few of the things that I do while I sit at home HA. Just because I don’t get paid to do these things doesn’t make my career choice any less important. Needless to say you can take you little planner enterprise and do whatever you want with it but I will not be buying anymore. For a Christian company you might want to rethink your stance on your views. I am very saddened by this.

Andrea

Mommy Confessions.

Sorry it is late but I honestly thought it was Thursday. I have been out doing some shopping and well I came home to this little tweet from Kandi.
hey @daisiesforu...not meaning to sound silly, but you know today if Friday right?? Just asking....lol
Is that a hint or what.
So onto my confessions. Since well it is Friday. And better late than never.
I confess that...

It is Friday. How did I miss that one.

I need to figure out how to make a back drop for pictures ASAP since the photographer will be here at 1pm tomorrow and not in 2 days.

I am so tired of Christmas shopping. People are INSANE.

For the first time I have been doing a little Christmas shopping online. Man Amazon has had some kick butt deals.

My 6yr has been manipulating me. He came home Friday from school barfing. Since then he has figured out that if he tells me he is sick to his tummy he might not have to do what he is told. NOT working.

I got my new computer in the mail. I know it is going to cost me for my hubby buying me one and not him. I hate to know how much it will cost me.

He gave me the guilt trip today saying he bought me a new computer so I could play Sims 3. Yes I know I am a dork but I love the game. I just didn't want to drop $50 on it. So I made him split it with me.

I may beat my dog is he pees on my bed or my shower curtain 1 more time.

I really need to check on our pig. I haven't seen him in a couple days.

I am not as active as I used to. Just running to 2 stores wore me out. Am I really that old? NAH I am sure it is just being 8 months pregnant and dragging around a 9 month old and 4 yr old.

I didn't realize I was classified as middle age until the other day a friend said something about us being middle age. How the heck did that one get by me. It really makes me sad. I still think of myself in my early 20's.

Our night out on Saturday didn't turn out the way we had planned. We had a great evening with friends with just a small amount of drama. We walked in the door and my phone rang asking where I was the baby needed to come home. Not a shocker to me she isn't an away from home sleeper. My hubby ran and got her and she went right to bed. She just needed her mommy.

I love rocking my babies. It brings peace to my day. It doesn't matter what else is going on in the house I can tone it out and just rock her. God has truely blessed me with my kids.

I need to remember that more often.

That is about it for me. I hope everyone else has a great Friday and weekend.

Mommy Confessions.

Since it is Friday and well Kandi and I both somehow let last Friday slip thru out mind we had better not forget today.
So here goes.
I confess.

That I was busy shopping last Friday well not really I took my sweet time heading out and meet up with friends for breakfast and then went shopping.

I still have tons of shopping to do. I really have no clue what to get the kids.

I finally got Scarlett a Zhu Zhu pet. Thank goodness for my mom's friend who works at Target.

That going Dept free is really hard. It sucks. I see my friends buying and doing what ever they want and we can't it sucks. But this should be the last pay period before the sun is shining again.

My life will be so much easier once all dept is paid off.

I am so frustrated that I can't figure out how to get involved in doing more product reviews and giveaways.

I am down to 3 boxes of cereal. I so need to head to the grocery store.

I have let Evan buy lunch at school 3 days this week because I haven't gone to the grocery store.

I am really looking forward to our yearly Christmas dinner with friends. We are going to benihana for dinner. Kandi you better be there.

I have no clue what to get Tommy for Christmas. The other day he had the nerve to tell me he wanted the Columbo series. I bought this for him 2 years ago and he just sold it over the summer. I laughed and said go buy it yourself then.

Tomorrow night will be the first time in 9 months that Tommy and I have been completely kid free. My mom is keeping all 3 kids. This will probobly be the last time in a long long time.

I really hate the look of disappointment in my kids face. Today Evan handed me a paper from school wanting help for the Christmas party. I really want to help I just can't with the 2 girls. I told him I couldn't but I would send cookies or cupcakes. He started crying saying but you helped all the time last year. It really broke my heart. Isn't the benifet of being a stay at home mom getting to help at the school?

Scarlett is so excited to go see OZ tonight at the Dayton Convention Center. My mom is taking her. She is going to wear her Dorthy outfit with ruby red slippers. She can't stop talking about it.

My niece is home she came home on Monday. Thank you for all the prayers that you have sent our way.

I am 31 weeks. I am measuring 3 weeks ahead. My dr said to be prepared to go between 36 and 37 weeks and I have NOTHING for the baby.

I have been a big huge slacker on my family blog. I really need to update it.

Evan lost another tooth. My mom pulled it out. Teeth coming out make me want to vomit. The tooth fairy only have a $5 on her so that is what he got. OUCH.

While putting the tree up on Sunday I broke 2 of my orniments and 1 precious moments. If you know me I am a freak about my tree. I only like certain things that match on my tree. And I have some orniments that I spent WAY to much money on several years ago. Those were the 2 I broke. Tommy can fix them. Evan started crying When I asked him why he said because you love those so much. I tried to explain to him that things happen and they can be fixed when deep down I wanted to cry to.

Well that is about it for me I hope you have a great week and take time to enjoy your family.

New Verizon Droid.

I really thought that I was going to have to say goodbye to Verizon. While I LOVE their service. I so badly wanted an Iphone. My contract was up and my old orange envy was dead. It would just turn off for no reason or ring 2 days after someone called. I loved the messages that would come up oh about 2 months after they were left. It was just long overdue to say good bye. While I will miss being able to find my phone in the dark while I am driving down the road it was time for an upgrade.
After doing tons of research I found out that verizon had released their version of the Iphone. I researched and fell in love. I headed out Wednesday to get me a new Motorola Droid. They had 2 versions of it but the other one which was cheaper didn't have a keyboard and well I am to old to be using a freaking touch screan to much my fingers just don't work like that. I LOVE this phone. It ended up only costing my $15 more a month to get this phone since I was paying for VCast on my old phone and didn't know it and honestly I don't even know what it does. The new droid has some great apps to help the coupon shopper out there. It also has this app that you scan the bar code and it pops up where the cheapest place to buy it. My dream phone. It is taking some serious getting used to but it is so much fun playing around with it right now. So if you are in the market for a new phone and you are with Verizon I would so get this. It is totally worth it. Plus the fact that it has a twitter and facebook app along with my email is linked up to it oh and lets not forget internet and a GPS built in for no extra charge. Can you tell I love this phone. It also doesn't hurt that I got a pink case for it either.

Where did the past week or so go?

Sorry about the lack of blogging on our part. I can only speak for myself since I have been so busy I haven't even had time to talk to Kandi. I am assuming she has been pretty busy herself.
For those of you that have been asking and praying for my sister the prayers have been felt. My mom flew out to Vegas on Wednesday to help my out my brother in law out with the visits between hospitals. With the H1N1 going around neither hospital was allowing children to visit so he was unable to visit the baby or my sister. My mom was on a plane out there and my sister called and said she was released and on her way to visit the baby. Prayer answered. My mom got there and was able to visit with the baby in NICU also. My brother in law was able to breathe and take a moment to get his bearings again. The baby is doing wonderful she is still in the hospital. She is up to 4lbs now. She has to drink 40 at each feeding for 12 hrs before she can come home. She is in a crib and doing great. She does have a name I just have no clue how to spell it. Her middle name is Schyler and that is what she is going by. You say it like you would Skyler. Not sure where the spelling comes from but I am far from being a person to knock names. Hopefully she will be home soon.
I had Thanksgiving at my house this year. My family is spread out across the US so we don't have big gatherings. My dad came over along with my grandparents. YES my grandmother came over. I was shocked I really didn't think she would come but she did. Lets just say you could cut the tension with a knife. It was great that the kids spent some time with them. My grandpa acted like he hadn't ate for days. He ate 4 helpings without getting up from the table. Tons of food and leftovers to be had. The best part of Thanksgiving.
This past year we have had so many things to be Thankful for. It is sad that it takes 1 day of gorging to rememeber to be Thankful for the many blessings that we have. My family has had many blessing. Paisley started our year off. She truely has been such a joy. It is funny that with each child I have I think that I couldn't get any luckier but then the next one comes and I do. My brother in law returned from a tour in Iraq and Afghanistan safely. We found out we are expecting #4 that was a huge shock but as less than 2 months left we are blessed. These are just a few of my many blessings. Trust me there are more.
These are just a few of the updates in my house. I will write a few more posts to let you know the rest.
Have a great week back to the grind. I am pretty happy to have Tommy back to work and Evan back at school.

Mommy Confessions.

Who thinks this week has been really slow. I DO I DO. I swear it really felt like it has gone on and on.
With that out of my system we can get on with our Mommy Confessions.

I confess...

That God is such a loving God. He brought my little niece into the world on Thursday with odds not looking well. But as of now she is 100%

That I am so relived that my sister and her baby are doing great.

That my hubby thinks I understand all this computer talk. I DON'T.

That I really don't care what kind of internet service we have.

That I think it is insane to pay $380 per month to have internet service.

I can't wait to go shopping on Black Friday even if I am not alone this year.

That I am dreaming way to much about either an I Phone or an I touch. I so want one.

My house is for the most part clean. I know impressive.

That despite Paisley being a fuss box this week she is so darn cute.

That I called our old gas company to come get their tank that was smelling up my house. I wasn't to nice it has been sitting her for over a month. About 15 min later I went to the end of the drive and was telling Tommy about my conversation with them and realized they had came and got it already. OPPS...

I really feel like I should call and say I am sorry but that just isn't going to happen.

That I am avoiding my car because that mouse freaks me out.

Well that is about it for me. I hope everyone has a great weekend.

Mommy Confessions.

Wow what a week I am pretty darn happy to see Friday how about you? Lets just say it has been a very BUSY week.
So onto Mommy Confessions.

I confess.....

That like I said I am way to happy to see Friday here.

That I feel awful today. My cough seams to be getting worse. Maybe it is time to head to the Dr.

That Evan getting pink eye this week makes my skin crawl. While I know what causes it I can't help but think EW dirty people get pink eye. I KNOW THIS ISN'T true. I didn't say there was logic in my thinking.

That last night I went with my mom to visit one of her co-works who had a stroke 2 1/2 months ago. I couldn't help but think what a strong man this is to learn all that he has to learn over again and he still has a smile. What an inspiration.

That while I was there it really reminded me of how lucky I really am. My family is healthy and happy.

That while my kids drive me nuts 99% of the time and may lead me to a nervous breakdown one day. I wouldn't change it for the world. I am the LUCKIEST mommy in the world.

That I cried yesterday when my little dog got sick for the 2nd day in a row on my carpet and my little spot bot wouldn't work.

That I was giddy when the lady at bissel figured out what was wrong with it and got it working again. (this spot bot is in my top 3 things I own in my house.)

That I am trying not to loose focus of the holidays. It is so hard to remember that Christmas isn't about the gifts and all of that it is about the birth of my Lord Jesus. I hope that I can be an example to my children and that they can realize this also.

That I had so much bitterness last night as I was talking with my mom about her having to take out a mortgage on her home that she paid off in 95 because she loaned my cousin so much money and he hasn't paid a dime back. I really want to just call him and tell him what he has done to my mom.

That I was even more bitter because people take NO responsibility for their dept. The people that file bankruptcy and don't learn and continue to do the same thing aren't being punished We are. We are working our tail off to become dept free and others are screwing the credit card companies and banks and they in return screw the good people. It just really sucks. (sorry more on that soap box later I am sure)

That the 14 anniversary of my grandpa's death was this week. I miss him so. He was such a great man. I was so blessed to have him in my life. God is such a great God that he placed a reminder of him everyday in my life. My husband. Tommy is so much like him. I see so much of him in Tommy. It is amazing how my grandpa never had the chance to meet Tommy but I know he would love him.

Those are my confessions for the week. I hope everybody is quickly getting over the YUCKS. Take a few minuets to remember what you are thankful for. Life is really so short. Make sure you tell someone you love them.

Mommy Confessions.

Wow it is Friday already. Time for another addition of the latest and greatest MOMMY CONFESSIONS.

I confess that....

It isn't really Friday. It is Thursday night and well I need to write this tonight or it will not get posted.

I am attempting to head out of town. I am going up to Amish country with Scarlett and my mom. Mom is going for a quilt shop hop. I am going because I have been dying to go to Amish country.

I hate quilting.

Wookie may not last to much longer. He keeps looking at me and barking it is driving me nuts.

I am very nervous to leave Paisley with Tommy for the weekend. He has never had to take care of her fully. He forgets to turn on the moniter, buckle her in. He is just a clueless man.

I really wish he would have agreed to watch all 3 kids so I could have a kid free weekend but I am grateful that he is at least watching 2 of them.

I really wish I had an Iphone. It sucks that AT&T has a monopoly on them.

I have a birthday party to go to and I am giving the kid a $5 game to give to the bday boy.

Kandi has been gone a really long time.

I am so done being pregnant. Last night I had the worst ingestion that I have ever had in my life.

I was craving reeces pieces today. Anybody that knows me knows I HATE peanut butter I can't even stand the smell. If people eat it I make them brush their teeth.

Scarlett is so excited to go to the hotel.

Well I must be off. I still need to pack and all that stuff. I am going to miss the kids something awful and I guess Tommy to.
Do you have any confessions you want to share. We would love to hear them.

Have a great and safe weekend I heard we are going to have wonderful weather.

Mommy Confessions.

Wow where has this week gone. Oh yeah I have slept it away.

I confess that....

I have slept more this week than I have in the past 10 years.

No matter how much I sleep I still need more.

Tommy doesn't understand that I am sick. He isn't pitching in to help me.

My house looks like a complete train wreck. Anybody want to come help clean.

I have had a very short fuse this week with everyone.d

Not 1 single load of laundry has been done this week. Nor has a bed been made or toilet been scrubbed. NOTHING has been done. Boy am I going to pay the price for that.

I must make pumpkin cookies today. Not sure if I am going to the party or not just kinda depends on how I am feeling.

I really miss helping out with Evan's class this year. He asked me the other day if I could just leave the other 2 with someone so I could come up and read to his class. I feel really bad.

I will miss Kandi while she is on her trip next week. I am also jealous I want to come to.

Well that is it for me. It has been pretty boring here. With me feeling like death reheated a few times.

On a side note I have been very lucky to have such great friends emailing me and calling to check on me offering to bring stuff here all week long. Thanks so much. Also my kids have really been great taking care of mommy. Evan even felt my head yesterday and goes "Mommy your head is hot you need to go lay down" It really wasn't hot it was just really sweet.d

Hope everyone has a great week.

What happened Wednesday.

What happened Wednesday is here at last. Sorry about the delay but I will let you know in this post why.
What happened to Andrea.
My house has been so sick. This crap seams to be passing from person to person. Just when it reaches the last person you think you are in the clear but nope. It starts all over again. I have felt like death warmed over the past few days. My sweet little Scarlett has been such a mommies little helper. She would get me stuff that I needed and just let me rest. With the urging of my OB to take some Robitussin I am feeling a little better. Lets just say I can lift my head up with out wanting to pass out.
I have personally been able to keep Clorox and Lysol in business the past week in a half. Thank God for my stock pile of it. Though I think I may be needing to find some more sales to stock up again. (Why didn't I buy stocks in this)
Here is hoping your house is getting better also. What happened to my nice healthy family? Maybe a hazmat sprayer thing to kill the germs at my door will help. I didn't think so either so I guess some hot tea and rest will be in the cards for me.

Mommy Confessions.

Well Once again Kandi has beat me...Man what is going on. So let the confessions roll..

I confess..

That I am more exhausted beyond words. Some days it takes all the strength that I have to get out of bed.

Paisley hasn't been feeling to well and has been staying up till Oh around 2 am. Yeah fun times.

Paisley is also cutting a total of 6 more teeth. Poor baby can't cut a break. Neither can I.

That the kids pediatrician freaked me out yesterday when she said my number is on her desk to call me. She is worried about the new baby. (Paisley was born transverse) She wants an ultrasound ever week once I hit 36 weeks. Due to the amount of bruising that Paisley and I both had from her birth.

That I am truely scared that I will have another birth like hers.

That I found out a friend of mine is expecting her 2nd child. Her oldest will be 1 in Jan. I had to secretly chuckle.

That so many of my friends kids are sick it has put me into panic mode. I don't want to leave the house at all. I wish I could just lock up the kids and refuse to allow them to leave.

I was over joyed when the Dr said Paisley's ears looked perfect (the older 2 ALWAYS had ear infections.)

My father is still driving me nuts about a crock pot.

I really just feel like kicking him most of the time.

My father called me on Sunday saying he was basically dying and I ignored him. It is that time of the year (that is a whole other post. Every year around Halloween it starts in)

My sister made it to Vegas and I actually kinda miss talking to her every day even though she drives me bonkers.

That Clorox and Lysol are my best friends right now. Do you think it would hurt if I make a Clorox thing that sprays people down and sanitizes them when they walk into the door.

Well that is enough for me. I hope everybody has a great week ahead and all the sicknesses go away. We have had so many friends that have been sick and their kids have been sick. You have been in our thoughts and prayers all week long.

Mommy Confessions.

Welcome and happy Friday.With snow flurries in our forecast for the day. Let the Mommy Confessions begin.

I confess.

That I was completely lost yesterday without my computer working.

That my computer died while I was making these Cinnamon rolls.

That I found my D in the in the kitchen? My hubby reattached it and now I have a D that comes up all the time.

That my sister is leaving today. Is it wrong for me to be excited about it.

That my grandpa has a Dr apt today and the house is going to be empty. You know what that means. My grandma is going to come and accuse me of something. I feel it in the day.

That my sister is leaving today. No more baby sitting for her to take a nap.

I had a freak out Mommy moment last night. Evan came home from school and his head was warm. I freaked out. But he is perfectly fine. I just pray it stays that way.

That my sister is leaving today.

That I hate it when people use the bathroom right after I clean it.

That my sister should have left at 5 am this morning but is still here.

That Evan was running last week with a pencil, I told him to stop and as soon as I told him you know what happened. So we went to the Dr on Monday for shots and well she had to pull the rest of it out.

That a huge weight will be lifted today since my sister is leaving today.

I had a wonderful time at the OAMM thing on Saturday. It was so great to meet all these lovely woman that I read their blogs and get to talk to them and make so many new friends.

Did I mention my sister is leaving today?

That Paisley not only has 1 freaking huge tooth coming in there is 2 coming in. Poor baby she doesn't just get 1 at a time it is always 2.

That my sister is leaving today.

That Tommy and I had to cancel our trip to Graceland. I had tears running down my face when we decided but I know it is for the long term goal of being dept free. Instead we are hitting a double feature at the movies tomorrow and out to dinner Kid free. First time since before Paisley was born.

While I love my sister dearly. We are 2 totally different people. From the way we look to the way we act. We haven't lived together since I was in the 6th grade. I disagree with the way she does things and have had to bite my tongue for the past several months just to keep peace. It will be so nice to get back to the way things were BA (before Aye)

Any confessions that you have? How has your week gone?
Turn on the fireplace and grab a cup of hot tea and enjoy your weekend.

Harry Connick Jr giveaway

As many of you know I am a HUGE Harry Connick Jr fan. Me being a fan goes way back. Way before Will and Grace, Hope Floats and even before Memphis Bell. I am a huge fan of all of his work especially his music. I love it. I remember the first time I heard him I fell in love. Then the first time I saw I saw an angel. He is oh so sexy. I always have a count down when he has a new CD comes out then I buy it early in the morning that day. The funny thing is this time I haven't even gotten it myself yet. I have heard it several times. I listened to it the week before it came out online. LOVE this CD. It also has one of my favorite songs on it. Can't Help Falling in Love. (Yeah I am a big Elvis fan also) Anyways I came across a blog today that is doing a giveaway for Harry Connick Jr's new Cd. There are several ways to win. Try 1 or try them all. If you win I so want to know. Good luck.
Please go here for your chance to win.

Mommy Confessions.

I confess.....

I really just want to go back to bed and pull the blankets over my head and pretend I have no responsibilities in life.

I was relieved when the gas people wanted to reschedual the drop off of the new tank today. My basement is a mess. (this isn't my job I didn't want a play room built down there.)

I think that I over did it yesterday.

That my 6 yr old is in the other room arguing with Paisley about her looking at her. Yes Scarlett is yelling at a baby for looking at her. OH this is going to be a fun day.

That my sister talked me into just using my credit card and not cash this pay period and see how much reward points or cash I could earn.

I don't like the above statement to well.

I have only had $10 in cash this whole week in a half.

My sisters birthday is today and I really don't want to spend it with her. Is that wrong?

That she is only here for 1 more week. It is kinda bitter sweet.

My Dad is really frustrating me this week.

That I didn't get the mommy award 2 days in a row this week. 1 day I forgot about Evan getting off the bus. The next day I threw his homework in the trash and had to go thru the yucky trash to find it.

That Kandi got an earful the other night. I was so pissed at Tommy I really wanted to beat him upside the head for always being in the man room. He thinks he can do whatever he wants and not pay attention to what is going on in the house.

I am so glad that I have the kids that I do. I love them dearly and love watching them grow into the independent people that they are.
