Happy Holidays

I hope everyone is able to spend quality time with family and friends. Enjoy this special time.

Travel Suggestions

My D.Da and I are taking a trip in 2009. Beachy, beautiful, relaxing. The extent of my "vacationing" consists of CanCun (13 years ago) and Surfside Beach, Texas so I need suggestions. We are thinking Hawaii, Jamaica, basically looking into any options. SO....if you (or someone you know) have been somewhere that fits the bill, send the info my way please!

Monday, Monday, Monday

I didn’t sleep well last night and therefore I’m feeling it today. I am irritable, grumpy, tired, blah….and just in a funk. I had bad dreams all night – dreamt about my lovey, blanket sucking dog Hunter and about having migraines so intense I couldn’t stand up. I was cold, yet I woke up soaking wet, covered in sweat. That’s always a good feeling….did I pee on myself or sweat for hours? It was the latter.

Just when I think I’m “in control” of any aspect of my life - WHAM…something else. I try not to be so pessimistic but there are definite times that’s all I’ve got. Like now.

Today is my D.Da’s birthday. He’s the big 3-0!

Grow up already

I wish some people would grow up and begin taking responsibilty for their own actions.

In my head today...

My brother is very ill from his diabetes & polycystic kidney disease. His kidneys are not functioning properly and dialysis is in his very near future. My sister was recently diagnosed with thyroid cancer and is scheduled to begin treatment in the next few weeks. Things like this remind me to be thankful for my own health and pray for those who are all near and dear to me

Damn.....BUSTED!

Thanks Kim.e!

I Wish***

* I wish I had a healthy family
* I wish I were photogenic
* I wish Dr. Phil and Super Nanny would both come to my house
* I wish people were more forgiving

Turkey Day is over

The Thanksgiving holidays were jam packed with activities and plans. I began my holidays a day early on Wednesday because I forgot to make any childcare alternatives. By Saturday my kids were going stir crazy. Dalton spent the night with friends twice over the week but little Mason and Rylan were just dying to go somewhere, do something, anything....Granted, we did some fun things. Thanksgiving Eve (ha ha) we went to Gay & Rusty's and got to hold and love on little Brycen. Thanksgiving Day we went to D.Da's parents at Cedar Creek Lake and spent the day, then I took them to their cousins where they spent time with that side of the family and spent the night. Friday was rainy and pretty much a lazy day, although we did get the tree (thanks ray & shannon for thinking of us), get it put up and began decorating the house. Saturday we went to the ICE exhibit at the Gaylord Texan, which was quite amazing. Yesterday I tried to finish setting out christmas decor and put away the boxes. See -- busy. Today...EXHAUSTED! I couldn't sleep last night -- mind was racing, and I think the last time I looked at the clock, it was 1:30 am. Back on track today, but tired nonetheless. Gotta grab a bite to eat, now I need fuel to keep going.
