10 Things to Smile About (inspired by Things I Can’t Say)

Mama's Losin' It
This post is inspired by Mama Kat for me. She is over at Mama's Losin' It! And I am so thankful to be back in Blog land!! I have missed everyone and all of your posts!! So to start off...
1. When my Hubby works nights, my boys usually end up in bed with me. It makes me smile to have cuddles even though it is my two boys, and the two dogs!
2. Walks make me smile! The boys, Hubby and I love going on walks!
3.My Hubby makes me smile. When I do get to put some make-up on his head sure does turn pretty quick!
4. I smile at short attention spans! Teething babys are hard to deal with at times, but shiny new objects buy you a couple of minutes to get something done. So, when your Husband asks what you did that day you can say I moved the laundry from the dryer to the bed! Oh Yeah!
5. Smiling because my 8 month old is getting all of his teeth at once! Ok, that is exaggerating, but they are coming in quick and that means once they are in mama will finally be able to sleep again!
6. I smile at the scale now! Not to much, but just enough to keep coaxing it down! And here is a shameless plug. I love the Melaleuca Access bars. They taste so sinfully good. And they still help me loose the weight! Yay Baby!
7. No more cats! I know I am mean! But I have to smile at no more messes from the cats! Walking into my sons room and finding a bean bag full of pee is no fun! What do you do? Because your kid is the first one in there to point it out to you and you go into slow mo while your kid manages to fall into the puddle!
8. I am smiling at funny situations!! I will have to go into more details about a particular Wal-Mart Poop story! Lets just say my Hubby doesn't deal well with poop! ha ha!
9. Maleleuca makes me smile! I know it's a shameless plug, since I am selling it. But it has changed my life. The vitamins are amazing. It feels like functioning is possible. There for a while it seemed like the coffee wasn't even working!
10. The thing I am most thankful for is SCHOOL!! Yay! My Weezer is finally five and that mean he is in school and When the Waffers is napping so am I!! Yay! I know I already said yay but I just had to put another one in! Yay! and maybe one more! LOL!
Thank You for reading!

New Beginings and Limbo

I has been almost a year since I last blogged...I can't believe it has been that long! But I am wanting to get back into this again. I really enjoyed it when I did do it.  My husband and I decided to make a dramatic change by moving to Colorado from Wyoming. The stupid thing about this decision was that I was 8 months pregnant. And if I can suggest any thing to a pregnant woman is that you do not ever, ever want the stress of packing up a house and trying to get your fat butt to your new location. But I did have a bright idea about all this...My parents offered to let my son and I (full blown cranky, pregnant) to stay with them until my other son was born. But money is a little tighter than I expected so we are aiming for the 9th of February. Only 7 weeks after my son was born. My 5 year old is really having a hard time with this transition. I thought to stay at my parents and then go to colorado would make it easier on him...it seems to be the opposite. My once sweet little boy is now still sweet to everyone else, but becomes a little monster once he comes home to my parents house. And I don't think it is entirely the new baby he is having a hard time with, but the fact that his Dad isn't here. Staying here has been really nice, but I hate not having my stuff about me and I feel like I am in limbo! It's frustrating!
It's kind of funny how different pregnancies and afterwards can be. It was really funny...once I got home I was really engorged and then the next day I wasn't! I thought I had lost my milk!! I was so upset. With my first son I breast fed for 6 weeks(I was going through a divorce and just couldn't do it for very long), but my body never wanted to heal and then I was engorged the whole time. I thought that was how it was suppose to be...Rock hard boobies, so sexy! Didn't realize things went to feeling alittle normal, softness wise. To bad they wont go down a size! It seems like they just keep getting bigger! LOL!
Well that is what is happening this week. Hope your week is going well!
