My big girl...and eye dr.

Mia is walking! Yay! She amazes me more all.the time. She takes the cute little steps. I'm so proud of my big girl. She will be running before we know it. I know Kenzie can't wait. Those 2 are super close. Kenzie says she won't be annoyed when she is 13 and her sister is 5 and wants to follow her everywhere. Haha. We will see.
The 2 older girls and I went to the eye Dr yesterday. My eyes are bad, as usual, no surprise there. And now my mini-me aka me"83 is taking after me. He said her eyes got pretty worse in past 2 years. He said she is following in my footsteps. No wonder she has been squinting so bad. Even with her glasses on.
Selenas eyes haven't changed much. Just a little bit.2 year ago the Dr said she could wear them just for reading if she wanted. Now she needs them all the time but just barely. He said she can use Kenzies first glasses as a back up. Haha.
So the girls both got to pick some new frames. The lovely gay glasses man was very helpful. He only showed Selena glasses that were harder to.break lol! Did I mention she hasn't had glasses for a few month? She broke them multiple times. I just kept glueing and taping them...till she finally lost a lens. But they both picked out cute frames. Kenzie wanted some more like mine, but they looked big on her face.
I got new frames as well, I'm sure they aren't as cute as the girls. Haha! But since I am blind I had to depend on the opinions of the girls and the glasses man. Haha! But I was assured I looked marvelous! Lmao! Let's hope so.
Anyways, I must and this now, as the Gnome will be here soon.
Talk to you soon.

Mia's 1st Birthday

Well, I can't believe it is finally here. My youngest baby is 1 today. Its amazing how fast this year has gone by. Its amazing how much she has grown and changing in this last year. Wow!
She was born on February 22, 2010 @ 10:23AM. 9lbs, 6oz. Now, on February 22, 2011, she is just under 22lbs. Man, she has grown. :)I am attempting to post pictures, but haven't quite figured it out yet.
We spent a quiet day here at home. I took the day off of work to be here. :) She is napping now, while Daddy is getting my car worked on. Hopefully he is home in a bit so we can do cupcakes. I still need to frost them though.
I figured out the pix, so here they are. Man, she has grown.
Happy 1st birthday to my precious little princess Mia!

Monday

Yup, it is Monday...again. I wish it was Friday, at 2pm. I overslept. Just by 15 minutes. It doesn't seem like a lot, but it really makes a big difference. I don't think I have been to bed before 11 in weeks. I need Mia to start going to bed on time. She is teething though. Her teething = me sleepy at work.
It was a long weekend. Never even got laundry done. Oops! Saturday I had my blood drawn and then we made the 3 hour trek to my mothers house. The girls had Christmas gifts to open. And Selena and Mia had bday gifts. We only stayed a few hours cause its a long drive home. On the way home we stopped at best buy. Got AJ a new phone and we got a laptop.I haven't had a working computer since 2006. So that's exciting. Yesterday we went shopping for things we need for Mia. We won't be doing much for her bday and since she isn't thrilled about wrapping paper, we just got her some things we need. A swinging baby gate and a high chair. She got some new jeans and a t-shirt and shoes. We were supposed to get their pix done, but we missed our appointment. Oops. I am going to try to reschedule that appointment. I already paid, so they better reschedule.

Anyways, I better get off here.
Talk to you tomorrow.

Weekends & bubble gum

It's finally the weekend. Yay! Got a lot planned. We just went to find the kids some matching clothes for pox on Sunday. No luck. Tomorrow we have to go to my mothers. If you know me, you know that's a chore for me. And stressful. But she has Christmas and bday gifts for the kids.3 hour drive each way. Ugh! So that's an all say excursion. And then Sunday the kids have pix. Hopefully Selena smiles normal and Mia doesn't attempt to destroy the props and camera. Hahaha! I am exhausted. I could use a nap. Oh, and tomorrow I have to go to the lab and get blood drawn. My Dr is testing 12 different things in hopes of finding out why my feet are cold. She doesn't think its my circulation. So, hopefully in a few weeks I have some answers.
Anyways, time to go eat. I may blog more later.

Bedtime!

This is my blog about going to bed. I am dedicating it to Liz.:) It is 11:20pm and I really should get to sleep.4:30am comes really fast. I can see my bed from here. My sheets are Orange. So are my pillow cases. AJs pillow cases are green. Lol Don't question it. We also sleep under separate blankets. He is a bed and blanket hog. Let's just say, if I moved Mia's bed away from my side of the bed, I would most likely end up on the floor every nite. Haha! So, I fulfilled my duties and blogged about bed. Haha! I am going to bed now.
See you later.

Puppies & Moose

So, as some of you know, we here at my work have been positive our supervisor is insane. But yesterday we were pretty much proven to be correct.
We all think she has an imaginary husband, with an imaginary heart condition. And an imaginary brother she cares for, who has imaginary autisim. She printed some info about chemotherapy so we would see it and feel sorry for her. She faked a family death to get a reaction. And the list could go on.
So, the most recent story is about her new puppy. Now mind you, she already had 2 puppies. So, we have these classified ads at work, and this puppy was for sale. She told everyone she bought the puppy. But couldn't come up with any pictures other then the one she printed off of the ad. Lol!
So, I was like, bring in a pic of all the dogs together. And she finally did, 2 weeks later...
She shows me this picture of her dog that she has had for a year...with another dog in the picture. Now, the year old dog is tilting her head, tongue hanging out, just being a normal dog. The new dog is...


Stuffed!


OMG! She needs some real help. Lmao! 3 of us saw the picture and 3 of us thought it was stuffed. If it looks like a duck, and it quacks like a duck...its probably a duck, kwim???
So, we say your dog looks stuffed. Lol And she says don't talk about my baby that way. And then Ben says hey, get a picture of the dog walking around. And she got pissed. She said, in an angry-insane voice I will not take a picture of her walking! I will take a picture of her sitting only!
Whoa! Wtf? Crazy!!!!!!!!!!
So, that's the story behind the pic of the moose on my Facebook page. Lol! In case anyone was wondering.
Time to get back to work.
See you later.

TGIF!!!

Good morning! Well, here we are. Day 3, blog 3. So far, so good.:)
What shall we talk about today?
Oh, I know! My favorite topic. My kids. My girls! <3
First off is Selena. My oldest. She just turned 11 on Feb.6. Man, time sure has flown. Seems like just yesterday she was my itty bitty preemie baby. Falling out of preemie clothes because they were to big. Now, here she is, 11 years old. And mean as can be. Lol! A few years ago she was diagnosed with O.D.D.( Oppositional Defiance Disorder) and man is she hard to handle some days. She can't have sugar or caffeine she becomes a ticking time bomb. I fear the teen years. Lol! But I love her and wouldn't trade her for anything. She is awesome. She is in 5th grade. And is a great big sister.
Then there is McKenzie. My Kenzie. Man I love that girl. Lol! She is my mini-me, through and though. We had a hard time binding when she was born, but you could never tell now. She is funny. And smart. Has her moms attitude. Lol! She is 9, born Sept.14, and in 3rd grade. She is a great little sister and a great big sister. She hates to make anyone angry and will cry at the drop of a hat.
Lastly is my shnoogie wugums. :) My little Miss Mia! Haha! She is 11 months old. Will be 1 on Feb.22. She is such an awesome baby. She is definetly a little fire cracker. She knows what she wants. And knows how to make you understand. Haha! She is smart. Talks already and crawls like she is winning a race. Can't take her anywhere without someone stopping us to tell her how beautiful she is. She just gives them her award winning smile.
Well, that's about it. I could tell you about my honey.:) But I think he needs a full page to himself and his craziness.
So now I will say goodbye.
See you tomorrow.

Thursday...

So, I was thinking, maybe I will blog while I'm at work. It not like I have anything else to do here.:)
So, I just made a Dr appt, finally, to find out what is wrong. I've been freezing for months now. My feet feel like ice cubes. So, we will see whats up, next Tuesday at 4pm. Hopefully its nothing serious and an easy fix. Guess that is a good day to pick up my blood pressure meds as well since I will be there. I have been taking them faithfully since AJ went into the hoapital in November. After 10 year of just taking them when I remembered. Which was, maybe, once a month...after almost losing AJ, it kinda sunk in just how serious this is. So now I am all over those pills. We are gonna be buying a blood pressure monitor for the house soon, too. I figure I can be bothered to take 1 pill a day, if AJ can take up to 7 pills 3 time a day. Almost Liau.g him really helped...was but true. He is still very sick. He has Congestive Heart Failure, CHF. It's scarey. We eat a lot different now. We never added salt to food, but now we also watch the amount in all the food we buy. It is a big life style change.
Anyways, I am glad it is almost Friday. I love the weekend. Next Wednesday I will find out if my tax refund will be in my bank on next Friday. I am so excited. I am finally getting a laptop and probably a new (to me) car. AJ is going to find me the car I've always wanted. I'm getting a VW Bug. Now, who is gonna teach me to drive a stick? Lol! I haven't drove a stick since I was 15.
Well, I guess I better get off here and do something productive while I am at work...like charge my phone before my break. Haha.
See you later.

Okay, I am starting this blog today and we will see if I stick with it. If you know me, I'm sure it won't surprise you if this is also the last blog due to me forgetting about it...or more likely...forgetting my password. Haha! But I am gonna try. Really I am!!
So now I just need some stuff to talk about. My favorite topic is my Mia. She is awesome. As are other 2 girls, Selena & Kenzie. All 3 of whom are in bed by 8pm tonite. Yup, even Mia. So I am using my "me" time to start this blog. And watching Minute To Win It.
Anyways, this is short, but hey, its a start. Are you tomorrow!
