relaxing bath

I decided to take a nice long hot bath tonight to clear my congestion and help me sleep. I had just settled in with my google reader app on my iPhone so I could catch up on my blogs and look who showed up.


Can't a momma get a little privacy? Oh wait, I forgot I know the answer to that question and it's a big fat "negative ghost rider!"

guilt and other stuff

i am sick. i feel awful. i am coughing up a storm and running a fever. all thanks to my lovely husband who brought this wonderful little bug home from the office. ick! i don't know what is worse though how i feel or the guilt i have for letting my kids watch to much tv so i can lay on the couch. i hate when i turn to tv to entertain my kids but what am i supposed to do? i obviously can't take them anywhere and i have zero energy to come up with something fun and cool to entertain them. so a toy story marathon will have to do today. don't judge. i really am a good mom i just feel like poop in the pants today.

on a happier note something was delivered to our house yesterday.

talking jessie!!

gracie has been asking for her for a long time and in a moment of weakness last week i bought jessie online when i found her on sale. a special gift every now and them isn't really that big of a deal right? i find myself torn between not wanting to spoil my kids and wanting to give them everything their little hearts desire. i of course don't buy them everything they want, corey would kill me. i tell myself it is not that big of a deal, "she is a good girl. she deserves it." plus she is in l.o.v.e. with her new toy.

a little spoiling never hurt anyone. right?

he has barely cried just a tiny bit fussy, moving slow and needing extra snuggles.

which we are all, including sassy, willing to give.

he didn't sleep very well last night. because he slept basically all day yesterday. so i am hoping for a very, very, lllooooonnnnggggg nap today.

happy thursday!

these days

hi friends. things have been very low key around here. lots of staying in jammies late, snuggling on the couch watching toy story 3 and just plain being cozy!twirlthumb
i am sure cabin fever will set in soon but for now we are loving it.

this morning we got up and started our normal tuesday race to get out the door to get sassy to school on time. i had already packed sassy's lunch, made breakfast and poured myself my coffee which i was going to chug down before i got everyone dressed, then a wonderful thing happened, the local news flashed that gracie's school was closed for the day on account of snow! so i warmed my cup of joe to a nice sipping temperature and settled in on the couch with the ipad and good morning america. bliss.

today will be a good day. we will definitely stay cozy for most of the day

but i have promised gracie we will play in the snow. it will be noah's first time out, yay!

i am hoping to post some pictures of our fun later today but we shall see if my littles allow it.

also, say a little prayer for my little noey baby he is having a procedure tomorrow morning :(. he has to have his circumcision redone, ouch!!! my poor little buggy, this will be his third surgery in a year. it just plan stinks. i think he deserves a new "talking buz lightyear" for being such a trooper, what do you think?

happy tuesday!

resolution

i know i am a few days late but you lovely readers will forgive me. i have a two resolutions this year...

  • more sunscreen! no wrinkles or skin cancer in 2011 woot woot!
  • be kinder in my thoughts, words and actions.
part of my be kinder resoulution applies to myself. i really need to work on lowering my expectaions of myself. this doesn't mean that i am not going to coninue to try and be the best wife, mother, friend, daughter, sister etc... i can be but rather allow myself to make mistakes admit that i made them and move on rather then dwell on that imperfection and label myself a failure. i have decided its ok if my dishes don't get put in the dishwasher immediately, if laundry sits in the basket for an extra day or if my kids eat pretzel sticks and fruit snacks for breakfast (sometimes). this is going to be very hard but good challange for me. wish me luck!

happy thursday!

p.s. how cute are these kids?

Hello 2011

hi friends. i've missed you while i was away from blogging. i know, i have said it before (and i will probably say it again) but i am going to try, try, try to be better about posting. i like to blog. it is good for my soul almost like a diary, a very public diary. writing down our memories even if it is just a one sentence blurb or a single picture, will be wonderful to look back on in a few years.

did you have a good christmas? we had a great christmas!


lots of running around, going to bed to late and missing naps but it was wonderful all the same.


i am pretty sure it was harder on me then the kids.


i tried very hard to relax and enjoy myself but there always came a point where i looked at the clock realized it was hours past my kiddies bed time and i would have a panic attack.


then i would give corey the signal to round up the kids before things got ugly.




our new years was wonderfully boring.

it was perfection. it was warm



(warm enough for kids who have been stuck inside for the past month) outside so we played in the circle with our buds until the rain chased us inside for chinese and movies in our cozy basement. perfection.

we are just getting into the groove today after a lengthy break from our schedule. i have to admit it was nice to take sass to school, mop the floors, make dinner and just be regular.


happy tuesday!
