Old?

I had My 10 year class reunion last night. Pete and I had a very good time, yet it was strange to see how much everyone had changed. I surely do not feel as if I have been out of school that long. It is odd to think back then everything happening in your life was so important. Yet when you look back on it it was so small compared to the things going on in My life now.

Friends and loves were important to your life. Now I can not imagine those things being so in the front of My mind. Now My children are the top things.

I drank far to much but had a wonderful time. I loved seeing old friends and those that said they were going to turn out to be everything, yet have turned out just like everyone else.

Mom kept the babies. They both loved being with her. It is nice to go away every so often and not have to worry about them!

Blessings,

Taking a breath

Things around here have been so busy. Running here and running there with never a chance to just take a breath.

My grandfathers estate sale is this weekend and even as I sit here and type this I get sick to my tummy. It is so sad that myself and my family have to stand there with a bunch of strangers and bid on things that were my grandmothers because some people in my family are just complete asses.

These are the times that all I can do is just be thankful that I am close to those in my family that I am and teach my babies to not be that way. To not gossip about others or alienate simply because you think that those rumors are true.

I will let you know what the outcome is. Although I am guessing that it will not be good.

Blessings,
The Mom

Rain, Rain go away!

It is pouring down rain here today! The perfect day to just nap your life away!

It seems lately we have been too busy to breathe. Yet the kids have been having a blast. I remember when I was young and my parents trying to fit all the fun stuff in before the school year began again. Seems we are doing just that.

The weekend turned out to be lovely. Spent time going through old slides of my grandma saturday with my parents and spending the evening with them, spent sunday at our friends with the kids swimming and eating wayyyy to much.

Hannah has been going through a very smartmouthed stage. I know how to believe for those that think she is the perfect angel! Thankfully Pete and I are nipping it in the bud before it gets out of control. I figured this would come with the teenage years, not yet. Although everyone told me that once she started school it would start and oh how it has! I won't go into great detail (wouldn't want to ruin her rep with those that think of her as pefect) lets just say it is trying My patience! I really should not complain too much as she reminds me of myself!

Ethan is teething which is causing his whole attitude and demenor to be off kilter. Usually he is very laid back and goes with the flow, these days he is fighting the flow and trying to go in the other direction.

Even through all of this they are still just both precious and each and everyday I look at them and wonder how I got so lucky!

Blessings Kids!

Battle of the Wills

At this very moment I am having a battle of the wills between My son and Myself.

Who do you think will win?

He has become quite the momma's boy. And although it is wonderful he HAS to nap when it is nap time. I do not mean these little 15 minute naps in between. So at this very moment he is wrapped tightly, fed and dry. Laying in his crib screaming his beautiful lungs out.

At least it is easier this time around. The first it killed Me to hear Bean cry.. now... cry away my son... cry away!

Blessings,
The Mom

A long time

I know that I have not posted in a while. Things around here have been anything but great.

Petes mom is in ICU with blood clots in her lungs. She is thankfully getting better but this has been so hard on P and I. He is miserable and I am tired of being the rock and pulling everything together. It has been very hard on both of us and the kids as well. Running everyday has made it near impossible to get anything done.

Bean on the other hand went to her first amusement park on wednesday. Pete and I took a break from everything and took her. She LOVED it. Watching her was wonderful. She had such a blast.

I promise to sit later and really write. Not much time this morning but wanted to update.
