Pictures from The Kings 1st Birthday Party

 And a pic of me and the boy out for his birthday dinner!!! =)

Ramblings to my self

First off I am looking to get any sympathy from anyone, I just feel in my heart to work through something I need to write it down so what better place to do it.

I feel like the memory of my son's 1st birthday is tainted with the the site in my mind of my mother and I "having words" while us and others were trying to clean up after the party. She said to me with a not some nice tone in her voice that there had not been a picture taken with her and the king. Fire instantly shot through me cause I remember having taking several pictures of her and him before his party even started. I looked at her and said " well lets take a picture then" I was a little irritated cause I was tired. I had put this whole thing together and made all the cakes, food and now someone wants to complain about a picture not being taken. It took a lot out of me to just walk away but I did. ( his party was at the fire station where my hubs is vol fire fighter) I walked away in to the kitchen to finish cleaning up so all of us could leave. There were several of my family members that we still there as well as her friend that had come with her. Next thing I know she walks into the kitchen after me tell me that we need to talk , I told her there was nothing to talk about. She asked the few ppl that were in the kitchen to leave so we could talk and so they did and I followed behind them. She followed me AGAIN! I am not one that like confrontation and I just did not want to deal with her. She then tells me that I dont need to talk to her the way I did and such. honestly I really dont remember what all was said between the two of us but the next thing I know the hubs is there and tells her this is not the time or place to be doing this. ( to me it was disrespectful to the king, this was his day , as well as to the other ppl that were still there) I walked outside and talked to a few family members that were outside that she had asked to leave from the kitchen.

 About 15 mins later I go back into the kitchen to again finish up trying to get stuff cleaned up and she comes in there and tell me that when I want to talk like an adult then to call her. If that is how adults talk to her then I have no reason to talk to her. My friends and I dont talk to each other like how she talks to me.

Several things had bothered me before this even went down first off. I had wanted to have my wedding at the country club close to my house and she talked me into having it at the Ruritan Club down by here. I wish I had stood up to her and just had my wedding where I wanted to have it!!! Then at the wedding she was so drunk( I had a dry wedding) and she was crying her eyes out and was such an embarrassment to me! There was no need to be drunk. Anyone that knows my mom know that she is very controlling person. I had planned to just get the ballons blown up for the kings party at the local grocery store but that was not good enough for her. she would not give up about the fact that she had a small tank that she could bring with her and blow the ballons up for the party with that. I knew that that small tank would not take care of all the ballons that I had and what do you know it did not!! So now I have a bunch of ballons that have a number one of them. Then when the king was opening his presents, well me and the hubs were helping him. She stood behind me the whole time controlling the whole thing. I am well over the age of 18 and do not need my mothers help with everything. We still have not talked and it has been well over  a week. I have prayed so much about this and had wondered should I call her but I dont want to talk to her, I feel like there is nothing to say. I was right. I walked away, she is the one that kept coming after me!!! UGH I have been in such a rut and it was starting to show in how I was treating the hubs. I was getting so short with him today and that is not like me. I love my mom dearly but I think she needs to work on her and heal her hurt and anger and then her and I can move on with our relationship. I pray for her everyday that the lord will work in her life and she will turn her life back over to the Lord! I know no matter what that I have the best little boy and hubs that anyone could ask for. Im looking forward to the day that when I think back to the kings birthday that I dont think about what also happened after his party!!!

I love you Mom and always will!

ranting and venting

First off for some reason my cute little signature that I have on here wants to act up and not go to the bottom of the page! UGH so I removed it.

I hate that the hubs gets his man panties in a wad when I get emotional! Like I am over reacting about something. Can't a woman had a moment to cry when she is hurt, scared, or just ticked off. Example: Last night was a rough night, King Henry woke up at 2am so I went out on the couch with him and at some point this am I went back in our bedroom to just get a few moments to close by eyes with out him in my arms. I put him in his crib with Happy Feet on and and he was happy as can be. About 10 mins later the hubs gets up to get him cause he is fussing and brought him into our bed. Well at this time the king thinks its time to play and for me it was time to get up. There were no light on in the bedroom and while walking out into the hall he jerked his head back and hit it on the door frame of our bedroom. I instantly start crying , the king is fussing about it and the hubs keeps saying " he is alright" . I take him in the kitchen and make him a sippy of milk and start heating up his breakfast. The hubs is starting his coffee and Im still crying. I hear him under his breath say" Geez". Like I am over reacting. I felt that it was my fault that the king hit his head. We had a rough night and I was so tired! Anyways I just want time to get over my emotions before being put in the ringer for it!


People that steal my thoughts, wants, desires, comments and such as their own! Be original people! It hurts when you have your heart set on something and then you feel like your thunder is stolen by someone that you really don't like to begin with!

Some people think they can pick up a camera and instantly start a business!PS. your work is not that great!  I love taking pics as a hobby and want NOTHING to do with making it my life. I would be scared I would get burned out on it and not enjoy it anymore. Not to mention I have some great friends that are photographers and are GREAT at what they do!

DON'T bash me for not being a stay at home mom, THANK ME cause its my tax money that is paying your insurance!!!! =)

That is it for now, Vent over! =) Ya'll have a Happy Day!!!

oh yeah ONE more thing... I hate that some people thing I am just a person on the other in of the phone when you call 9-1-1. I have feelings too just like the person that is calling needing help. The FCC has mandated a new radio system for all agencies and my little town in talking of getting rid of our town 911 dispatch center and letting the County handle it. Well if that is the case, I say that there is NO NEED for town police officers too! Anyways, the thought of possible being with out a job one day is on my mind a lot too! 

Again, I forgot.

 yeah I have gone off and done it again, I have forgotten all about my blog. I think this is the third time. Boy where has the time gone. We recently celebrated the boys first birthday and It really went off great... well til the end and we were cleaning everything up. I might go into that at another time. Im going to also try and do a blog with another letter to the boy. He has changed so much. He had his one year well baby visit yesterday. Is it still a baby visit if he is over one. Well his is my baby so, its a baby visit. Anyways the boy is 20 lbs and 30 in long. I think he is going to be tall like my dad.

I am going to try my best to be better about this now that the big party is out of the way and kinda use this blog to let go of some of my feelings. To start with, its sometimes the one that you love the most that let you down.

oh blog how have I forgotten you...

I read blogs daily so I don't know why I have forgotten all about my own. I was reminded last night by text by my favorite cousin. Well she is more like a sister to me since we are 6 months and 6 days apart and our mothers are sisters. People always asked when we were little if we were twins. She truly does mean a lot to me and I wish that she lived closer so that we could hang out all the time.

We even lived in the same house from time to time. There was even a summer that we went to camp together. There are some great memories I have about my favorite cousin Sister!

I don't tell her enough but I love her and I pray for her every day. She deals with things that I know nothing about. I know that she wants a baby some kinda bad and it really tugs at her heart when people are having babies all around her. But I hope she knows that MANY people are praying and that GOD is with her and her hubs every step of the way.

Here is to you my favorite Sister! =) PRAYING HARD FOR YOU!!!

Thank you for being you and for everything that you are!!! =)

Updated pics of our family =)

I have not gotten the proof disc yet of these pics but I am so looking forward to it!

Turkey Cranberry Balls

I converted my very first WW recipe!!! It was a wonderful dinner and the hubs even liked it. Over the weekend we had a get together and one of my friends brought over these delicious sausage balls and I just had to try and make it a ww friendly meal. I also cooked Ronzoni noodles and mixed in some spices along with a can of diced tomatoes. So here goes and with pics too!! =) Enjoy!

1 lb. Ground Turkey

1 pkg. (6 oz.) STOVE TOP Stuffing Mix

3/4 cup Cranberry sauce

1 Egg

1 cup Water



HEAT oven to 325ºF.

COOK meat in large skillet until cooked through, stirring frequently; drain.

Place in large bowl; cool slightly. Stir in stuffing mix.

ADD cranberry sauce, egg and water; mix well. Shape into balls; place on foil-covered baking sheet.

BAKE 20 min. or until done (160ºF).

I used the Pampered Chef Med scoop to make the balls and doing that made it 29 balls at 1 pt each! =)

Austin really enjoys being in the kitchen when I am cooking!! =) Maybe he will be a Chef!

I just might even try out some new recipes and post those too! I had some to die for sausage balls over the weekend and I just might make those tomorrow while I am off from work. I found the recipe today and changes a few things to make it WW friendly!! =)

I HATE YOU

new hair growth GRAY HAIR!!! Yeah yeah I know HATE is a very strong word, but I hate this gray hair that seems to taking over my head. Every time that I look in the mirror it seems to get worse! And who has time to color their hair. I surly don't. Well I have not taken the time to. There has been so much going on around the house with remodeling the kitchen and getting the new washer and dryer in that there is no time.... I will make time though. MAYBE the next weekend that I have off from work.......

Holding my boy a little longer tonight

There has been a many tear that has been shed while reading blogs about parents losing little ones and angel babies. It makes me cry to read or even think about the loss of a precious innocent little person that God created but also it brings comfort to know that that little one is in heaven and there in no more suffering or hurt. But along with that baby not hurting any more comes the hurt of the parents and families that loved so much.

Babies being taken to HEAVEN hit home with me last night. There is a couple that I went to school with that lost their 5 week old baby boy yesterday. My heart has been so heavy since finding this out. They are high school sweet hearts, prom king and queen, the couple that everyone looked up to wishing that one day they would have the same kind of love and relationship that these two people had. I do not know the reasons behind the passing of their precious little boy, but I have not been able to shake what is going on in these families lives. I pray for them to find strength in the Lord that one day they will be able to see their little boy again. I pray that this life changing event does not change their faith in GOD.

Tonight I will hold my little boy a little tighter, longer. Look into his eyes and tell him that Daddy and Mommy love him so very much and that if there were to be anything ever to happen to him, that he will see us again one day and that he will be able to set in the lap of his heavenly father! I truly never want to think of something happening to my little boy but there is nothing that says this life here on earth is forever.

There is a lot of hurting hearts tonight for this family and I ask that you could pray for them too!

GOD BLESS

Call the oncall Pediatrician ( Kinda LONG)

You would think that I would have learned my lesson when I had to take King Henry to the hospital in the middle of the night for a high temp when he was less than 3 months old, NOPE I sure didn't! The next time( I hope there is not one) I am going to DEMAND that they call the oncall Pediatrician!!

I am soooo over the ER doctors! The king had gotten over his cold that he had gotten while we were on vacation with out the help of the medicine that his regular doc has given to him. I gave it to him a few times and all it seemed to do was make his running nose, cough and all worse. WHY in the world am I going to give him something that is going to make it worse. so anyways it stated to come back like a week later so I called his doctors office and spoke with the nurse, I told her that I had stopped giving him the stuff that was making it worse and just gave me over the counter cough meds. She told me try the medicine that that docs gave us and to keep taking it cause some crap about it gets worse before it gets better. ok WHATEVER ...So when I got home from work I gave him the meds the doc had given up and in about 5 mins he was coughing so bad that he threw up TWICE! I looked at the hubs and said there is something wrong and rushed off the the ER.

This crazy kid of mine SMILES at EVERYONE!! eats a bottle while we are there and manages to only cough while we are alone in the room not while the doc or nurse is in the room! GO FIGURE! They did an xray and nothing else. NO blood work, no breathing treatment. NOTHING ELSE!!! We sat there for the ER doc to come in and she tells me to continue to give him the cphen that his reg doc gave us and to follow up with is pcp... I just look at her and then ask. " you want me to give him the same medicine that I gave to him that led to us coming here?" she replied "yes" I gave me a this go to hell look and told her " I WILL NOT GIVE MY SON THE SAME MEDS THAT MADE HIM THROW UP!!!!!" I was in tears , how in the world could a doctor in her right mind tell me this!!!!???? She looked at me and told me that because his xray was clear and that she had not heard him cough that she could do nothing else. She also stated him being happy and not "ACTING LIKE ANYTHING WAS WRONG" and he even was able to eat. what the heck, so you are telling me since I have a happy baby that I just need to go home and that there is nothing wrong with him? yep thats what she said and told me that the nurse would come with our papers. That is when I lost it then the nurse came in with our papers for me to sign so we could get out of there. She then told me to continue to give him the same meds and to follow up with him doc. I looked at her and told her I would not and I was NOT going to sign ANYTHING!!! UGH! She got the biggest attitude! I still look back at this experience and I can not believe that it even happened but it did!!

So I walked out crying more and more, we followed up with his regular doc the next day..... what do you know.. King Henry has an ear infection. OMGOODNESS! And they did not catch it at the hospital! PS: doc said that an ear infection can come on in a matter of hours so that it is possible that the King did not have this when we were at the hospital. But I believe in my heart that he did have it. I KNEW SOMTHING WAS WRONG!

How things can chance in less than two months...

Where has the time gone? My boy is now way closer to being a 1 year old then a newborn! WOW It is like you wake up and he is crawling! He self feeds and get frustrated doing it cause he can not get the food fast enough to his mouth. When he crawls he wants to walk or stand so bad that he crawls with his left foot flat on the floor. crazy kid. He does this funny thing with his bink and you just can not help but laugh. That boy has a personality like his daddy! But is very independent like me and has the best time just playing with his toys. He loves to give open mouth kisses and they are some of the sloppiest kisses I have ever had but the best that can top any kiss from the hubs! =) The boy went from eating anything you would put in front of him to only wanting sweet pot and any kind of fruit! I tried mixing it with other foods that I know he will eat but he is TOO smart! Where is the little boy that I brought home from the hospital?
Austin is no longer on zantac for his acid reflux and he is 100% switched over to milk based formula, no more stinky soy formula! yay!

The boy will not drink out of sippy cup for NOTHING! you would think I learned my lesson of going out and buy up a bunch of things that he will not use when I did the same thing when trying to figure out bottles that he would drink from. NOPE! There in our cabinet is 3 types of sippy cups that King Henry will NOT drink from.

The King also went of his first trip to the beach since I was laying low from blogging. He LOVES a pool! I should really thing about getting one to put out on our deck. oh yeah, that will be one more thing around the house that I will have to keep up with. I will jump right on it.

SN: Does everyone get the weird " why do you have to bother me?" look when u ask for someone to do something VERY simple for you? UGH that crap drives me NUTS!

ANYWAYS about the king , for the first time in his life he put his feet in the cold waters of the Atlanic Ocean. It def will not be his last time! He had a blast and even came back with a cold and that ended up turning into an ear infection! ugh! This reminds me of another blog post that I need to do.... I will leave u with this, I took the King to the hospital because he coughed so much to the point that he threw up. ( to me, something was just not right) While at the hospital the boy smiles, laughs , eats a bottle and flirts with all the nurses. End of story we walk out of there with me in tears and him still coughing! UGH Happy Day. you just might another post out of me today..... MIGHT

Ramblings to my Son♥

Dear Austin McHenry,

In your short 6 months you have taught me so much and have even managed to pluck the "S" key off my laptop , and I noticed that you plucked the "CTRL" key off your Daddy's keyboard too! LOL Maybe you will be a computer junkie! :) Austin you have truly taught me so much about life. I know now that time NEVER stands still even as much as I would like for it to sometimes. You have grown up so much in such a short time, Mommy has a hard time even picturing how you looked in my arms the evening we brought you home from the hospital. You are such a joy to have around! No matter what is going on in my life that might be trying to get me down, all I have to do is look over at you and you give me the biggest smile! In the right light you can even see your two bottom teeth that are starting to show through. You have a smile that brightens the world! Even your Great PawPaw says that you smile all the time just like your momma did when she was your age! I'm so glad that you got to meet your Great PawPaw and Great Nannie. I hope for you to see them a lot. No day is promised on this earth and PawPaw is a very weak man. He has lived his life and is ready to go home to the Lord. I talk to you about the Lord a lot. I know that you don't really understand what it is I am saying but I know that you have a heart for GOD! God LOVES you very much Austin! And so does EVERYONE in your life!

THINGS THAT I HAVE LEARNED HAVING YOU IN MY LIFE:

*Babies like to sing and talk during praise time at church, and it does not stop when the preacher is preaching! :)
*That some other mommas in the world are not nice! Sue me if you like! I proudly formula feed and I am finally at peace with that.
*It takes well over an hour to get us ready to go ANYWHERE! (even to the grocery store for eggs)
*Sophie the Giraffe is the best $15 that I have spent on a toy!
*Make up is OVER RATED! I think I have wore make up 3 times since you have been born.
*Petty things that used to matter , just DON'T anymore.
*Its OK to ask for advice from other moms, but in the end I am still your Mom and knows what is best for you.
*When bottle feeding start with the cheap bottles. ( you will save lots of money that way)
*Anyone can talk about you but they better NOT talk about my beautiful little boy!!!!
*You can get a bargain! I still have not bought diapers with out a coupon since you were born!

I could go on and on with this list

I Love you my wonderful Booga Butt! You complete my life and everything in me! It still hurts to sit here at work and your not in arms reach! But I do it for you little man! Momma LOVES YOU SOOOO VERY MUCH!!!!

UGGGHHHHH

I'm not a 100% sure if this is the same article that was read by the person that brought it to my attention, but It definatly struck a cord in me!

http://www.wgntv.com/lifestyle/parenting/sc-fam-0408-part-time-20100411,0,4620769.story


I work hard to provide for my DS! I want for him to NEVER want for anything that he may need! I also dont work you average Mon-Fri 9-5 , but I put in 80 hrs every two weeks. My first week I look 5 12 hr shifts(Mon,Tues, Fri, Sat, & Sun) and the 2nd week I work Wed 12 hrs and Thurs is only 8 hrs. So does that mean bc of this Australian study that my son is not going to be healthy?? I dont think so! He is as healthy as can be!

Mind you this statement was posted on a persons facebook status and I looked up the acticle to read and found this one. Something else is the person that posted their status is a stay at home mom that sells Pampered Chef on the side.

I whole heartedly feel that it would be so nice to work from home or not work at all! But then again going to work is like the Mommy free time and getting paid for it! I feel that I have a very rewarding career and I really enjoy it and love the fact that I don't work Mon-Fri.

I guess that means my kid is going to be fat because Im not home with him all the time... oh well. That does not mean that I live love him any different.

I guess sometimes you have to eat your words...

I just said last week that it was nice to have a break from cooking....

Well Wednesday night my stove just cut OFF!!! I was in the middle of baking some yummy smelling chicken, and it just shut off! I then called the place where I got the stove because I had not even had it for two months! They then told me to bring it back and then could send it off. I immediately asked to speak with a manager! The manager was really nice and told me she was sorry that I was having problems with and that I would have to have an appointment set up with GE to come out and take a look at it. I then called GE, they told me it would be April 1st before someone could come out!!! UUUGGGHHH I asked for another Manager! She told me she would take care of it and would call me back in 24 hrs.

The next morning they called back from GE with the name of the repair company and number and told me that the repair company would be calling me to set up a time to come out! I was really wanting them to be local and come out like YESTERDAY! I had a cake to bake for a bible study that night but I had already worked it out so that I could go to my in-laws house and use their oven.

The repair company had not called me so I called them.... They then told me that they could not get someone out to look at the stove til April 1st!!!! UGGGGGGHH AGAIN!

To me this is not a very funny April fools joke LOL ! So we have been eating out. Pizza, McDonalds, Mexican(that was pretty good) but I just wanted that BBQ CHICKEN!!!

Anyways vent over with ... There is nothing that I can do about the stove so here is a picture of the Hubs and DS from his 4 month check up....

Wonderful Weekend...

... Well its not over just yet but DH is playing his guitar for LO so, Mommas got some down time to blog! Wow never blogged while sitting on my couch, this sure is a lot better then the chair at work!

I told my boss the other day it would be nice to dispatch from home, but I could see it now. I would go to tone a rescue call out and LO would start hollering! He does that A LOT NOW!!!

Anyways back to the weekend! I live for weekends off! Friday LO had his 4 month shots! I will write this to remind myself to never make his apt on a friday again! It took us for ever to get out of there. We were almost there for two hrs! He got 2 shots and was told me could start solids!!! WOOOHOOO! I was kinda iffy about when I wanted to start.

Friday evening we had a dinner date with some of my HS girl friends. One of them is 5 months PG and she loves to hold LO as much as she can! Momma even got a break to eat with out holding LO! That was NICE!!!!!

Saturday: not much of anything during the day. Of yeah I went to the Pharmacy to pick up LOs Zantac and my BC. The lady rang it up and told me $48. something, I looked at her and asked her" for WHAT????" my BC was $35!!! I told the lady, I will go with out have sex b4 I pay that amount of money! The lady laughed! DH DIDN'T!!! LOL I came home and then found a $15 coupon for my BC! I think the hubs was very happy to print that coupon! =)

We lost a very dear friend of ours last Oct, and his parents had his memorial service Saturday afternoon. DH said that is was very nice. I didnt get to go bc DS was still really fussy from his shots the day before! Today, I found a video of our friend on an old phone sd card! The hubs really enjoyed seeing that after such a touching memorial yesterday! RIP Lennie!

Saturday evening we went out to eat with a family that we will also be vacationing the same week at the beach! It was nice to get out with a couple that was a baby thats only a few months older then DS ! I think DS has a girlfriend now! Hubs took a video of the two of them talking to eachother!




Sunday: Church this morning! and now RELAXING!!!!!!!!!!

later on dinner with my family for my step moms birthday!

WE NORMALLY DONT EAT OUT THIS MUCH!! but Ive kinda enjoyed the break of not cooking!

=)

4 Months

My baby boy is 4 months already! Where has the time gone? I would post a picture that I took of him yesterday on his 4 month birthday but I can't seem to find my camera cord! UGH! oh well! Once I finally figure out where it is, I will post a pic of his cute little self!

LO has had a stuffy nose and I guess decided yesterday that the time to get was at 430 in the morning! Needless to say I was waiting around to go to work at 6 am! Im so not used to getting up that early!

I snapped a few pics of LO with the real camera and then pulled out my cell to take a video of him to send to DH. About twenty secs into the video he decided it was time to spit up! UGH! I looked at him and told him " I bought this onesie for you to where today and your wearing it!"

I took him in his room and had to change his pants cause the were wet all over, I still dont know how get got it on the back side of his pants.

I later loaded him up and took him off the sitters house! I really hate that he had to be away from me for over 12 hrs today!!! Well its that way alot of the time on the days that I work! I thank GOD that I only work 5 days one week and 2 the next week! This week is my 2 day week! WOOOHOOO!

But on a happy note: I will be getting his 3 month pics back soon. They were taken more at 31/2 months because I was trying to get a handle on his cradle cap but I have come to terms with that is not going to happen with all his hair that he was! The pic on the post is taken by the wonderful Cynthia of Gressit Photograpy! You can find her by click on LO's new born pic on the right side of my blog!!! Check her out!

Dream Car

I don't really have a dream car in mind, just that it has to have a sunroof!!

In my dreams, I dream of LO in the back seat playing his air guitar. The music up and the windows down and the sunroof open! A girl can dream can't she! =) The hubs has been after me for a while about getting a new car(one with 4 drs) but I am just not ready for it yet! My car has been paid off for almost a year now and I like spending that extra money on the LO. I know that I should really be putting it in the bank for a down payment.

About a month ago I was having some problems with my cute little car that I love so much. The hubs was ready to sell it right then and there! A part that was so simple and only cost about $15 was giving him the hardest time. Later that evening he go on the net and started looking for a new vehicle for me. I stood beside him while he was customizing it to my liking. WOW that price jumped up a lot from the base price that the vehicle was listed for! A Chevy Malibu with a sunroof is now what I see in my dreams!

Now with the uncertainty of the hubs job it will def have to wait!

Best Friends For Life

This blog post is dedicated to my BFFL cause she is the one that reminded me that I had blogged in a while. Well I had started on one and that's as far as it has gotten... I decided to do a "Bucket List" on things that I want to do before I kick the bucket. I am not ready to publish that post just yet.

So on to my BF, She is the best and has the most adorable twin girls that are the apple of her eye! They are SOOO much like her its unreal! ( I don't want to give real names so...) Lets call them Fallon and Marie, they are like the little girls that I never had! I have wanted a little girl forever, but I would not change my little prince charming that is at home with his Daddy right now while I am working! I would do anything for those two girls! I enjoy checking out the clothes racks when I go shopping, to see if I can find any good steals for them! Fallon is going to look adorable at the beach this summer with her little cherry bathing suit on.( her momma loves cherries so its in her blood!) And Marie is such the mothering type! At the precious age of two she already makes sure that my little price charming has his bink in his mouth at all times! And it cracks me up when Fallon comes right behind her and takes it out of his mouth. :)

Well back to the subject at hand.

My BFFL is the best we have been there for each other through so much! Weddings , Births, Funerals.... Her Dad(RIP) is the one that introduced us to each other! I used to work with him and he told me not long after meeting him that I reminded him of his daughter that was away at college. He missed her A LOT! Her Dad was a hoot! I loved him very much he was the person that would do ANYTHING for ANYONE!! I meet my Bffl when she came home from college for summer break. She got a job with us. She wanted to go back to college but it just wasn't in the cards. ( I have always believed that things happen for a reason, and I think that God wanted her to stay home and not go back, he has a master plan) Any ways... We were inseparable, we lived together several times, vistited her old college( that was the best weekend ever, I had NEVER experienced going to a college away from home) She was there to support me when I was scared of anyone else supporting me( she knows what I am talking about) There was even a time that I don't like to think about that we did not talk to each other! :( I wish that I had been there at the hospital when the girls were born, but it happened so fast she had no time to call! She was there for when my prince came into the world! This BFFL of mine wanted to be there for my so bad that she got friends of hers to bring her to the hospital cause her car was broken! We even go to church together! There is only one way for our friendship to be any better... to light beside each other!!!!!

I thank God for her EVERYDAY!!! She is the best and deserves the BEST!


I look forward to all the wonderful memories ahead of her and I! Can't wait for our vacation to the beach this summer!

Night on the town

DH and I are going out for the first time with out LO. I wasn't too sure it was even going to happen since at first this morning he was going to have to work til 9pm. I thought to myself " I am off the hook! I don't have to leave my LO at home now."
Well that went out the window real quick, he found someone to work for him. :( Don't get me wrong I know that DH and I need time alone and it will be nice to get out and show my inability to dance and all. I have to be strong, LO will be sleeping anyways! Gosh I hope he doesn't wake up like he did last night! My mom is staying with him so I know that he will be fine. Just the thought of being away from him makes me want to see him so bad right now!!!

But it was all made better by his sitter! She is the BEST! I love the fact that I can text her anytime to see how he is doing and she even sends me pics! Here is a pic of him at her house today. I can tell from the smile on his face he is in great hands! These pictures of him sure does brighten up my 12 hr shifts! :)

Giving it a shot!

I have really enjoyed reading other blogs so I thought I would give it a try. I am by NO means a professional writer. I misspell words a lot! :) I have a wonderful little boy that is 3 months old and he is my world. Married to my wonderful husband of almost a year. I thank GOD for them both everyday! I am a Child of GOD, but I am not perfect!

A little bit about me, I enjoy having a camera in my hands. I hope to have a nice camera one day! I am a 911 dispatcher for my small town,I love it! I only have to work 7 days in a two week time. I wish there was a way for me to be a SAHM but its just not in the cards right now. There are too many things that we want/need to do to our house right now and my income helps out with that.

I have a passion for cooking. my pants size reveals that! I some times wish that I had gone to culinary school right after high school. I also have a dream of opening a bakery one day! There is a beautiful store front in my small little town that I think would be perfect for it!

I wish that I had started this blog when I found out I was having LO but you can only live in the present....
