A Week of Flu

How long does it take to get over the flu? Going on a week and still not feeling great. All three of us sick at the same time equals chaos. Thank goodness my is the greatest and come down to help me to de-germify. So its Saturday, I have a clean house - what do I do next? Maybe take a nap? Yep, a nap sounds good.

Almost Christmas

Christmas is almost here. I am trying to take a step back and enjoy the holidays rather then get all worked up about shopping, cooking and cleaning. It is hard to remember the true meaning of Christmas when you are so wrapped up in the chaos. I need to focus of my family, making memories and my faith.

Merry Christmas to all...

Oh Christmas Spirit, Where Are You?

Christmas is almost here. The tree is up, cookies made, spreadsheet created (but so not populated with purchased gifts), but where o where is my Christmas spirit? Every year I tell myself that I will stand back and enjoy the holiday season. But it seems like this year I have not stopped to even think about the season. I have been going through the motions - cookies, ornaments and eating of course, but I have yet to celebrate the true reason for the season.

My goal today and each today until Christmas is to remember why we celebrate Christmas and to enjoy all the blessings in my life. I want to give, I want to surround myself in the love of my family and friends. I want to appreciate how truly blessed I am.

Little Man Going to School

My little man starts Pre-K next week (tears and weeping). I have lived in denial since we received notification of his acceptance, but now the time is drawing near and I have to start preparing myself and Jordi.

My husband has stayed home with Jordi for the last year or so and before that Jordi stayed with a family member, so he has never been in a school or daycare enviroment. I know, I know - he really needs Pre-K. "It will be so good for him." I am not second guessing the decision to send him, I am worried about his adjustment and mine and Kevin's for that matter.

Up until the last few weeks Jordi has refused to stay with anyone but Kevin and me. When he thought he would have to stay somewhere without us he would run to the car and lock the doors (no worries, we had the keys). But he has started staying with my mom at least once a week to get him geared up to be seperated from us.

So I am worried. Very worried. I am expecting a battle the first day. And lots of tears (from everyone). But everyone says "He will be fine after you leave." They don't know my child. He is persistent. What if he cries all day? What if he is scarred for life? What if he doesn't recover from the trauma of being left at school? I know, I'm overracting (as usual), but I am still very, very worried.

I am sorry Mr. Blog...

I am sorry Mr. Blog. I have neglected you over the past few weeks. I apologize to you since I don't have readers to apologize to. I will try and be a better blogger and give you the time and attention you derserve.

Another Year Older

On this day 31 years ago my parents welcomed their little bundle of joy. They kept the bundle's birth a secret until it was announced on the local radio station. Then grandparents were alerted, and the bundle was forever more spoiled with love. And even though the grandparents were deliriously happy with the new bundle of joy, they were still highly pissed at its parents for not letting them know of her arrival.

Today I turn 31. My birthday present to myself is not counting WW points, and I have successfully scarfed down about 100 and I have not yet ate my birthday meal and cake. You only turn 31 once, so you gotta eat it up. Going out tonight for some chicken tenders. I know this sounds crazy, but I avoid chicken tenders (which I love) due to the horrendous amount of points they have. Tonight I shall eat chicken tenders and I may even dip them in ranch.

Now on to bigger and better things. CAKE! My family is making me a cake. Not just any cake, but Better Than Sex Cake. Some of you may doubt that cake could be better than sex, but you just haven't had this cake. I can't wait to eat a piece or two (or maybe three because today is a no points day).

Off We Go

Hi Ho Hi Ho off to see Colie and Tasha we go. Can't wait to spend the weekend at the beach. I NEED A BREAK! I love the sand and the sun, and I can't wait to put my toes in the ocean.
