I don't know.....

I probably sat at the desk for two minutes trying to come up with a title. LOL My life has been pretty awesome today. I bounced back today from something I thought was going to be impossible. My life feels normal, I'm not hurting now and I pray that I'm not hurting anyone else anymore. Things are back on track. Life is Good!!!
Can you believe that it has been 17 days since I've had Dr. Pepper? Crazy, I know, I know. I'm so dang proud of myself. It is like a weight has been lifted off of me. I still miss the taste, but I don't feel like I have to have one. But man, they taste sooooo good!! I can actually see that it is helping me. I have more energy, I feel like I can do more, even if I'm actually not doing more. It is a wonderful feeling!
Kaydence is so fighting me on sleeping through the night. She will wake up for no reason and I'll put her nuk back in and she falls back asleep. I think she is just used to getting up often so she has to break those habits. I will help her break those, and then we can both sleep better. She hates cereal! I've tried a few different kinds with not much success. She will eat baby food, but she can't stand cereal. This morning, I added some applesauce to it and she ate it. I tried that this evening, nope, she wanted none of that LOL.
This next week, I'm going to make myself scrap some. I always tell myself that I have other things that are more important so I never scrap. I haven't in months. I am going to try so hard to make a few pages. I'll post some once I get them done.
Adam starts his rotations on Monday. He will work Monday, then be off, then work Wednesday and then be off for 5 days. It is awesome. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. How are we going to deal with each other with that much time together, reguarly? Not just a vacation? I'm already planning that I'll get a day off somewhere in the middle to have some Beka time. Go watch a movie or hide out in Barnes and Noble reading. I like that idea best. I would love to just grab a comfy chair and read for several hours without being asked a million questions.
Night ya'll!!

Awesome Weekend

Man, I had a good weekend. I spent the day yesterday and today with my hubby. We had so much fun. We were everywhere and nowhere at the same time. We ended up in the Woodlands late last night so we stayed at my sister's house for the night. We got up this morning to head home and we decided we didn't want to head home just yet so we ended up getting home around 5 this evening. It was so much dang fun. Yesterday, we pick-nicked at a park and let the kiddos play. Today we found a different park and they played some more. Kaydence loves the swings and I'm amazed by Kameron's imagination. We found out so much about ourselves and our goals that we have. I think we got so much closer. I didn't stress about the past, and in fact, I feel so much better about the future. I can't wait to share some pictures and more stories. I'm getting ready to get Kaydence bathed and in bed. It has been a wonderfuly long weekend and I look forward to some home time the next few days. Can't wait to have lunch with Mugglemom, not sure where we are going yet, but we are going to be doing lunch. I plan on scrapping with some friends this week. Finally done with some other projects and ready to be scrapping!!! Til next time.......

Stress and stress free shopping

I've been so stressed these past 24 hours. It seems like my life will be changed forever and I don't even know how it happened. I can't control others, I can't help people to see things differently and I can't force my opinion on other people. All I can do is be me. I can still love with everything I have and still be the same person that I was. If that doesn't work for some people, that is who I am, I can't change. I can only be me. Good, bad, whatever you use to describe me, that is who I am. "It's all apart of me, that's who I am" I have faults, I have things that I'm sure I should work on, but this is me. Take it or leave it. All I can do now, is pray. Pray for understanding of what happened, pray for guidance to move on and make the right decisions, and pray for everyone involved.

On a different note, I have been hitting up some sales racks like crazy. I bought pants today for Kaydence for .70. .70 for blue jean pants with flowers and different designs on them. I just couldn't walk away from that. They had this clearance bin with nothing over 2 bucks. Well, all of the little jeans her size were a buck. And, they had an additional 30 percent off of clearance. GREAT DEALS!!!!! I also went to Old Navy and shopped in their 75% off clearance. I love clearance. It rocks!!! I probably got like 25 things and didn't spend more then 20 bucks. It was so awesome. A friend of mine, you know who you are, was telling me about Target having a super sale in which they had an additional 75% off of their clearance toys. Tell me that is not a great deal. She showed me some of the stuff she got and good grief, it was awesome!!! When I told my mom about the sales, she told some of her friends and they headed over there right after school to shop for deals. Everybody got some stuff.

Oh Man!

It feels like I am finally making progress. The trash came today and took a bunch of junk and I filled up the trash cans again lol. This feels great. I've been working on my sister's baby shower invitations these past few days also and they are almost complete. I just need some more stamps and am waiting on a few address. It has been two more days without Dr. Pepper and I'm doing good. LOL!
One Tree Hill started again tonight. It hasn't been on in a long time and I was so excited that it was starting up again. I think it is going to be good, I was a little hesitant about it, but after the second hour, I think it will work!
I've been watching the Biggest Losers Couples and I sure wish I was there. I'm voting for the orange team since that is my favorite color! They have been the biggest losers both weeks, so we will see how they go the rest of the show.
I plan on getting in some boxing tomorrow and maybe a little bowling...on the Wii of course! I love that Wii. It's awesome. Some friends of ours have one too and we are gonna get together and play each other. I love bowling and this is so much fun. It gives me and hubby some together time that isn't watching a movie, we are up moving and I think it is awesome!!!!!
Well, it is super late, but I had to finish ironing all of hubbys work clothes and I made him a bunch of breakfast tacos to take to work the rest of the week. He is loving being with Houston. I'm so dang proud of him, its great! Have a great night!

It's Me

Well, it's a whole different year and another chance to change everything you didn't like about last year, well kinda :-) This year, I didn't want to make goals or resolutions that I knew by February, I wouldn't still be doing. Instead, I have commited to a few things that I have to do for me. I'm happy to say that I've been doing them for almost a week now and they are pretty much habbit. I've been dejunking my house. Crap just has to go. It's great. I gave up Dr. Pepper, gasp, gasp, gasp...okay, I'm fine...really. I've been drinking Dr. Pepper forever and I know that it so isn't good for me. I haven't had any since the first. I have a few other things that I'm doing, but if I post them, then they won't mean as much.
On a different note, we got a Wii. In case you didn't know, it's like the best game system ever!! Okay, that is my opinion. I am having so much fun playing it. Boxing is such a workout. Even hubby loves it and I was worried about that. I didn't want him thinking that I just wanted a video game. We've been saving for it for a while now and it sure felt great to get. My mother-in-law gave us a gift card for Christmas so we knew that it would put us closer to our goal and this paycheck, we did it!!!!! Now, we've got to get an extra controler so I can box Adam. (I'm going to practice during the day so I can get him when he gets home) lol!
The kids are doing great! Kaydence can sit up unassisted now. She falls over every once in a while, but for the most part, she is sitting tall. She started having ceral and baby food and man, you should see some of her faces. Kameron is loving golf on the Wii. He thinks that is the coolest thing. He was so excited when he realized that we had one he could play at home. Adam starts his EMT training this week. He will go to school for like two weeks and then he starts a rotation at a firestation. We are excited about that because we have a few trips planned during our five days off periods. It's gonna be great. Well, I hope everyone had a great new year and a wonderful Christmas. I don't know when I'll post again, I'm not very good about it, but I'll try.
