Life is Good

I just wanted to say it.
There is a part of me that doesn't want to even acknowledge that "life is good" right now. Because in my life the bottom always drops out and I always expect it.
But this time it seems different.I just have a feeling that it will get even better.
That is not something I used to believe. What do I get when I don't want anything? Nothing.
It pays to have dreams. It pays to appreciate what you have while you have it instead of always looking at what could happen.

What I want, I know I will get. I'm not afraid of failure. I am not afraid of the future. I am not afraid to live. I have been thru tough stuff and survived, so life goes on.

Frickin Snow

Big crummy blizzard. Why can't it just snow on the grass? There are multiple 3 foot snow drifts in my driveway. I tried to shovel the first one for an hour and only knocked out half of it and made my arm sore in the process. Frick, Frick, Frick.

My baby boy Spiderman turns 4 on Monday. I guess that makes him not a baby. Hard to imagine that 4 years ago I was trying to have a baby. We are taking a trip back to Kansas this weekend to let the rest of the family see him for his birthday.

Also occurring this weekend is my first act as Maid of Honor for my sister's wedding. I get to pick out the bridesmaid dresses. The wedding is 7-07-07 and not much is ready. At least she has the dress so after that everything just falls into place right?

Well busy weekend ahead, so I am off to pack and feed Superman his babyfood. Hope for no more snow during our trip!!

This will be my first try at an online scrapbook crop. If you are a scrapbooker head on over there this weekend.


Well I tried to make it blinkie, but I am too dumb. But here is the link anyway.
Memories From Scrap Cyber Crop

All the goodness of RANDOMNESS

Randomness
1. Its supposed to rain tomorrow then slight snow this weekend.

2. There goes my plan to walk to the park with Aidan this weekend.

3. Re-runs of Dharma and Greg are always cool. Even if I have seen them all at least twice.

4. My baby is 6 months old TODAY. He got his immunizations Tuesday and has his well baby check on Friday.


5. Friday is also the day my big baby gets his physical so he can go to preschool.

6. I think I may cry. See 4 and 5.

7. I need to find a job that I won't hate and that won't keep me from being around my babies.

8. I don't want it to snow.

9. Went to a birthday dinner with some of my friends Monday. Now there are none under 40 except me. We went to a restaurant where you can make your own steaks. I was the only one who cooked my own. It was darn good too. I rule!



10. I scrapped my brains out and I don't think my layouts were as good as the design team. Why did they make me guest designer again? No Clue.

11. There is always more.....More to say, more to clean, more to worry about, more to teach, and more to learn.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Well its been a while since I posted last, but it seems like time flew by so quickly. We went back to KS for the holidays. I think we had a great time. We stayed with my dad and stepmom and it was nice. My dad dressed up as Santa and the kids got to "catch" him putting presents under the tree. Spiderman was a little upset when Santa gave him a tractor. He's not big on trucks and tractors. He didnt know that Santa was going to leave him the superheroes he wanted after he went to bed. So since he didnt get one thing he wanted at that time, he wasnt as excited as we hoped he would be. Superman however, was very good with Santa. He loved his little toy and wasn't scared of Santa at all.
















We saw pretty much all of our family which took 4 days itself. Its crazy to have such a big family.

Batman and I went 3 wheeling with my dad and got in a wreck. It was rainy and muddy and we were going up a hill and got stuck and then the thing just flipped over backwards on us. I was on the back and Batman was driving. I hit my head and shoulder and Batman dislocated his kneecap. We took him to the ER cause I could see straight and walk okay so I didn't need help. Batman got a pain shot and since that was the night we were going to celebrate New Years Eve and our Anniversary we thought it best not to drive anywhere or drink anything. I was in bed at 12:15 AM on the first day of this year. We ate some of our wedding cake to celebrate our anniversary and then watched some movies with the kids.

I can't say I have any resolutions for this year. I am probably going to find a job and get my butt and thighs into shape again. I guess I want to get caught up on my scrapbooking. Maybe I will get my work published this year. I am just happy being with my sweet husband and my incredible kids.
Hope a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year was had by all!!

Probably the last post of the year!

Superman loves his Sweet Potatoes! Only 5 months old and he is already sitting at the table with us and eating his food like a big boy. They grow up so fast! Last night he spit out the bananas instantly, but the night before the Sweet Potatoes went down quick. He ate the whole little jar. He is a rolly poly now. He rolls onto his back as soon as I put him down on his belly. He has had a fever a couple days this week. We are pretty sure its caused by the teething. Poor little guy.

We are leaving for the holidays tomorrow. We wont be back until the new year. 400 miles away and the weather better be great. I mailed out Christmas cards a bit late this year. If the mail wasn't so slow I would have gotten the pictures sooner and had them done to be sent out on time. Oh well, at least I got them out.

Now to finish the home made presents and hand deliver the neighborhood cards and get the oil changed and we are gone.

We should get to go out for our anniversary this year since we will be home with family and hopefully someone will want to babysit. I think New Years Eve is a great anniversary. We have had a great first married year. We haven't had any fights, just a couple tiny arguments. I am so lucky to be married to my hubby. He is a great father and such a sweet guy. He has been so supportive of me during the cancer and the pregnancy. I love that he is my rock. I probably would have sunken into the bed and who knows what else if he hadn't kept me strong. I love you more than ever baby. Who knew that we would end up here when we started dating 9 years ago?
I love you I love you I love you! More than yesterday, less than tomorrow.......

We wish everying that reads this blog a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

More to add..

To my wishlist for Christmas this year.
I saw this little tripod and I just think it is so cute.

I also want a good family picture. But that's something I will have to work on myself.

How do you get nice presents for your huge family with less than $50 to spend total? With the medical bills and the car repairs we had to pay for, we barely have the money to get to KS. That's our gift to our family for Christmas this year, they get to see us...but they really just want to see the boys. That's fine with us, I would rather see my kids get lots of cool stuff than me get anything.

I am going to crop tonight. Hopefully get a lot of good scrapbooking done. I am also back to blond today. I have hair that changes color with the seasons. LOL I had red since before Halloween, but I didn't feel very Julia Roberts so now I am back to normal. If people are going to be taking pictures of me at Christmas time, I want them to be of my in my normal color. That way it also looks like Spiderman belongs in our family cause his hair is the only light blond. I'm going for the same color as his, but we will see. I will have to post pics like tomorrow or sometime. Naturally mine is dark golden blond, but I think its going to be a bit lighter this time since I had to bleach and then tint. Things I have learned over the years of coloring. I think I started in high school and have been about every color. I went purplish black for Halloween one year in college. I was the dark angel and I couldn't very well be dark with blond hair. My roommate was a white angel. We won the group contest that year too. It wasn't so great the year before when we both went as Britney Spears. Funny, but not a winner.
Back to hair coloring!
Have a good Weekend!

Sweet

Going to crop with my friends tonight. Yay!
Here's something I made this week.

Its the beginning of a whole 8x8 album I am making of all the things we did last summer. This summer we didnt do any fun things cause Mama was a pregnant cow. LOL

Hope you all have a great weekend!

Winter Winter Winter

SIGH!! The snow is here. Well its been here since Thursday night.
Hey, don't you want a play by play??

Batman went to work last Monday and was told that they wanted him to fly back to Kansas to work in the plant there for a few days. They also said they had room for the baby and I. Since Spiderman went back to KS with my mom, then Superman got to take his first flight. We got rained on in a tiny little prop plane so we had to land half an hour from the airport in our town and wait for the weather to get better so we could land in our own airport. So our 1.5hour flight took 4 hours.
Then we got put up in a hotel that his work paid for, which was cool because we didn't want to choose which of our family to stay with and piss someone off. They did however, give us the crappy work van to drive around town while we were there instead of a cool rental. That thing is going to die...soon. We went to dinner with my dad and step mom on Monday night and Superman came down with a fever. He cried for a bit, but was really good throughout the ordeal. His first fever/cold and he really was a Superman.
We were supposed to fly back on Wednesday, but apparently it was storming up here in IL so he thought it best to wait until the afternoon. Then in KS that afternoon it was raining ice. Thats a good time. The pilot's son, who is the copilot, said he didn't want to take off at that time. So our flight was pushed until the next day. We were already at my Dad's playing board games and we had checked out of the hotel so we just decided to stay there in the warmth. My sister and her fiancee came over and we sucked them into the board gaming. I love the board games. My dad and stepmom are all about them. Batman isn't really a fan, unless its just me and him. We were having fun playing Sequence while it was pouring down ice and the temperature was falling as well. Oddly enough we were awoken Thursday morning with a phone call from the pilot saying he wanted to take off in the next hour. So we rushed to shove everything back into the suitcase and get the baby bundled. My step mom unfroze her car and drove us to the Airport. Its a tiny Airport, not like we had to fight any traffic or lose luggage. We were the only ones there.
So we take off safely and land safely back in IL. Our little car is at the airport here and it is frozen. It has no heater by the way. So we scrape and scrape and the temperature is 20 degrees out there. The baby is covered with every blanket I took with us for him and he is super warm inside his little car seat. No complaints from him.
We finally get it thawed and make it home and Batman has to go to work. Then at about 3pm Thursday it starts the raining of ice here. I called Batman and told him to get home before it gets too bad. Well he calls and wants me to come get him at about 430pm. So I get us all in the Durango and surprise...the heater in there doesn't work. Its like our vehicles are passing a disease to each other. The car got the STD first and gave it to the Durango. It was putting out air so I thought it would get us to pick up Batman. Well I got half a mile down the road and had to stop and scrape the window. I made it to Walmart and called Batman to tell him he was SOL and had to make the car work. So I hung out at walmart and picked up some windshield Heet and a few other things and called my scrapping friend's husband to tell him to just come tow the Durango. It needed a new water pump and belt and window motor anyway so we told him to just fix all of it. Bye Bye Christmas!!

Then after we went to bed Thursday it started snowing and didnt stop until noon Friday. Batman got a free day home from work cause the city sent out an emergency message saying to not park on the streets and to stay where you are and not drive anywhere. Yeah ice under a foot of snow is not good right? So finally Saturday it was getting cleared off so we braved the trek to Walmart cause we were about out of toilet paper I had forgotten to get when I was there 2 days earlier. There was so much traffic, I was a bit freaked out. Looked like lots of stupid people needed toilet paper. Then on Sunday we took Spiderman out to play in the snow. It was still powder and crazy cold. So here are some shots of our snow day.
Stay WARM peeps!!!

Yes, thats my kid throwing snow at my face. He soon started crying cause the cold snow was all over his face.Yes, that's my fabulous husband throwing snow directly at me, holding the camera. We were both shocked that I actually captured the snowball in the air. BTW, is it actually a snowball, I think its too big to be called that. Its a snowblock or something bigger sounding.

Cute stuff Saturday

Saturday is picture day since I don't have much time to share today. So here's some cute stuff.

 

Woo Hoo its Friday!

Well Mario didnt win Dancing With the Stars. He maybe wasn't as entertaining or funny as Emmitt Smith, but I think his footwork and Dance moves were much better. He is just so cute.
He sure entertained me this whole season and every week he just got better and better. I am dying to know if he and Karina are dating now. I think they should and they will be a great couple.

Tuesday's Nip/Tuck was bland. It was kinda funny to see how everyone could end up in the future, but I didnt get to see Christian's ass and that is all that matters.

I have to go watch Gray's Anatomy and ER that I Tivo'd last night. Don't spoil it for me, I am dying to watch as it is. The same goes for Medium and the new show DayBreak. I have a lot to catch up on.

We have a busy weekend coming up. Batman's best friend is coming up to hang with us for the weekend. I dont know if he will be here tonight or tomorrow.

We are also thinking about getting into the new Lord of the Rings MMO if it ever comes out. We already play World of Warcraft and we are waiting until January to see if we will buy the expansion. It is a great game. Batman started playing it when it came out and then he got me to play finally and we spend a couple evenings a week playing with people from all over the world. I am a kickass player too thanks to Batman.
Well time for lunch. Have a good weekend! I dont know if I will get a chance to blog if we have company, but I'll try!

4 months

My baby is four months old. He had his check up today and weighed 14 pounds and 13 ounces. He is also now 25 inches tall. Big difference from 6 pounds, 11 ounces and 18 inches.

He is rolling over like crazy right now. Just from front to back so far, but he is close to going both ways.
My kids are just so cute, if I do say so myself and I have to share them with you yet again.

Superman feels Sucky

Well Arik got his immunizations yesterday. Sometimes I wonder if it is really important to put our babies thru all this pain. Is it really necessary?
He has been kinda grumpy today and refuses to sleep much. He did good and was all tough and didnt cry until the third shot. So insane that they do one at a time. He got a total of four.
He is needing comforting again so I will leave you with a pic of him for today. Tomorrow I will let you know if I am happy with the results of the last Dancing with the Stars episode of the season. And Arik's 4 month check up is tomorrow too, so I'll update you later!

Some of my Christmas wishlist

Every time we go to the store or every time there is a toy commercial on TV, Spiderman says, "Mommy can I have that?" about practically everything. I always tell him to put it on his christmas list and ask Santa. Its my turn to tell santa what I want.

oops I did it again

Maybe my goal will be to post at least every other day since I am not too good at the every day thing.
Well my sisters are all coming up here for Thanksgiving. And my one sister is bringing her fiancee and his 3 kids and my mom is also coming. She may be bringing her new fiancee too, I dont know yet. So that means I have to plan a dinner for 12 people. I cooked dinner 2 years ago for 5 people and that was pretty easy. Just one turkey fed everyone and the rest of the stuff wasnt too hard.
So I need some help. Send me your favorite big recipie for side dishes. I dont want to have to make 3 green bean casseroles and 10 pounds of mashed potatoes. What to do?

Housing gripe

Oops I forgot to post yesterday. Dang. Someone give me their thyroid so I can remember stuff please!?
Well we have been in our new duplex for over two months now and still haven't gotten our deposit back from our old apartment. Rumor has it that in the state of IL, your deposit must be postmarked within 30 days of your moveout. If any money is withheld, the leasing company is required to itemize all damages and provide you with copies of all bills or receipts. If they do not refund your money or provide you with an itemize statement of how it was applied, they are required to return the entire deposit under Illinois law.

So we never liked this apartment manager anyway and I called at the beginning of October which was one month after we moved out and told them that I hadn't gotten our deposit back. The assistant manager said she had to check with the main office and she would call me back. Well 2 weeks later I called back after not hearing anything. Again she told me that the main office hadn't told her anything so she would check with them again and get back to me. Then, Halloween day I called again cause no one called me back AGAIN. This time I got to talk to the "fat bitch" aka the manager. She said she thinks the hold up is because we didnt turn in a 30 day notice. But she isnt sure so she has to talk to the main office and check our file to know for sure. And of course she will call me back. Well over a week later she has not called back. So now I think I will call her and tell her that I know what the law says. I am also looking for a housing authority or something to talk to about this.
A six hundred dollar deposit is not something that we can just let slide. Especially now that the surgery and all the doctor bill from this c-bomb are coming in.

Off to a good start

Batman ordered me the Paint Shop Pro X that I have been wanting. Hopefully, when it gets here I will be motivated to get a ton of use out of it. Can I just say that Amazon.com rocks?! We got it from there and it was super cheap. It better have the right CD key and definitely not be opened previously. You never know.

Here is a scrapbook Layout I did recently that I really like.

NaBloPoMo

I don't know if its possible, but I am going to try to take part in National Blog Posting Month.

I will have to post on this blog of mine every day this month. I am starting 7 days late in the month so I will go 7 days into December just to be fair with myself.
