Last day of school

The girls last day of preschool was yesterday.  We have a celebration this morning.  They are going to sing songs and there will be pictures posted of the entire school year.  I'm a sap.  I cry over everything.  I know I'll be crying today when I see my little girls up on that stage.  I'm so proud of them.  SO proud to be their mommy.  This past year and a half has been pretty amazing.  We settled into our new life fabulously.  Moved into our little two bedroom apartment.  And we recently got our first family pet!  A cat named Solomon.  He's pretty rad.  A bit of an a hole, but rad,  I'm excited for this summer.  Filled with family and friends.  Boating and picnics and playgrounds and golf!!  Matt is an avid golfer and he has been teaching me.  I'm not too bad at it either and actually love it!  So yes, our summer will be filled with golfing when the girls are at their dad's house.  Well, this will be a short post since we need to get ready for the celebration!!  Have a wonderful Wednesday all!

New life for the girls and I

It's been so long since I have been on here.  So much has changed.  The girls dad and I have since divorced and the girls are now 5!!!  Life has been so good for us.  We have many friends and family and I have started dating someone I went to high school with.  I haven't seen him in 18 years and all of a sudden, almost two months after I moved into my mothers home, he friend requested me on Facebook.  I accepted and we've been inseparable ever since!  He is the best thing that has ever happened to the girls and I.  No, I'm not trying to replace their dad but he is so hands on with them and loves them and me unconditionally.  It feels good to know someone truly loves me and for the first time in my life, I believe it.  He helps me with the girls and our home.  We moved in together a few months ago.  I love the little home we created.  It's perfect for us.  The girls love him and they have transitioned beautifully!  No problems what so ever during the divorce.  I'm so proud of the life I've created for the girls and I.  I am so excited and thankful to get another chance at love.  And who knows, maybe another chance to have a baby!  We have talked about it.  He would like to have a child of his own but totally understands my "flaws" and will be happy with whatever happens.  He thinks of my daughters as his and honestly, so do I.  They are in amazing hands when they are with him.  So, yeah, a lot has happened in the last two years.  Maybe I'll continue this blog.  Maybe I'll cancel it to close this chapter in my life.  Not sure yet.  I came across my blog this morning and read a few posts and forgot about a lot of it.  It's nice to have it to read.  I hope everyone is doing well.  I miss blogging and think it would be therapeutic to start up again.  Anywho, I'm rambling.  Time to go and drink my tea.  Cheers!

New blog!

Hey ya'll!!!

So, I started a new blog!  I love fashion and beauty.  I love to do makeup and I love to buy it!  lol  I did the makeup on everyone in my cousin's wedding last month and I really enjoyed it.  I can honestly say that I was pretty proud of myself.  Everyone looked beautiful.  So, because of that, I have decided to start a YouTube channel and a new blog about all things beauty!  I spend a lot of time on YouTube researching makeup tutorials and anything related to fashion, makeup and hair.  I really feel this is my calling and I would love if you guys/gals would come over and follow my new blog!  I will have tutorials, reviews and tons of other stuff!  I hope to see you over there!

Take care,

Another Baby?

I actually just talked to hubby about having another baby and he didn't say no.  This doesn't mean it's definite.  But the fact that he didn't say no is amazing.  I told him I would only transfer one embryo so that we could have a singleton.  Again, this is a dream right now but hubby is not saying no to me like he was last year.  Please pray that his heart changes.  Again, it is all up to God.  If I am meant to have another baby, it will happen.  :)  Feeling giddy right now.  Hope all is well with everyone.

A big congratulations to Mo and Will.  Many years of infertility and she won!!!  She was induced this morning.  Waiting for the blog post that announces the birth of their little girl!  So exciting!

My baby girls are getting so big!  I can't believe they will be three in three short months!!!  Let's hope they have a baby brother or sister on the way next year.  He he

Infant stage again.......

And queue scene....

Putting girls to bed. Mia is freaking out like she has been the last few nights. She refuses to lay down. I leave the room. She yells for me while crying. My heart breaks. I go in and take her out of her crib and proceed to rock her. She passes out within five minutes. I stand up and lay her in her bed. She wakes and holds onto my neck like a monkey. I hold her while

 standing and rocking. She falls asleep within five minutes. I lay her in her bed. She wakes and puts me in another choke hold. I hold her. repeat. Choke hold. So I do the unthinkable. I climb into her crib with her and lay there like a packed sardine. My leg starts cramping. Mia is snoring. I grab both sides of the crib to hoist myself up. I'm stuck. Mia's legs are on mine. What do I do? I start to panic. I prop myself up slowly. Mia moves. I stop breathing. Mia snores. I sit up. Mia yells for me. I exhale and tell her I'm there. She tells me to lay down. I tell her I'm to big for her bed. She's silent. I try to slowly stand up. My legs are numb now. Mia freaks. I jump out of the crib and Mia is now standing up. I tell her I'll lay down with her while putting my head against hers. She's too smart and knows better. Dang. I then fold my whole body over and lay my head on her pillow while my feet are in the air/touching the ground. (Hey, I'm short) Mia starts snoring. I slowly lift myself up. Stop. Listen. Nothing. Silence. I walk out of the room about 45 minutes later. Silence. Nothing. I gave in. Mia won this time. Sleeping Mia=exhausted mommy from all this Tom foolery.

End scene.

YUCKY SPIDER!!!!!!!

Picture this....  I'm nestled in my bed.  I have been asleep for a good four hours.  It's nice and comfy.  And then out of nowhere, I hear a shreak!  I wake to hear Mia screaming.  She is known to talk in her sleep so I laid there for a minute because I thought for sure she would go back to sleep.  Nope.  MOMMY!!!!!!  I jump out of bed and sprint to their bedroom.  I think I ran into a few things since I did it in the dark!  You see, all four kids were at our house last night so I didn't want to disturb everyone's slumber that I so wish I was included in.  But I wasn't.  And neither was Miss Mia.  I ran into the room to see her sitting in the corner of her crib.  As soon as she sees me she starts screaming, "MOMMY, YUCKY SPIDER!!!!!"  I'm pretty sure baby girl had a bad dream since she can't see spiders in the dark.  I try to explain to a two year old the best that I could that there wasn't a spider in her bed and that it was only a bad dream.  Yeah, she wasn't having it.  I picked her up and rocked her until I thought she was asleep and attempted to lay her back down.  She freaked out!  "NO MOMMY!!!!!  NO!!!!!"  By then I hear a little voice behind me, "Mommy?"  I didn't answer because I knew what that meant.  House party at 3am!!!  No thanks.  Miss Sam went back to sleep or else I think she did because I never heard from her again.  As I'm trying to calm Mia down I hear, "What's going on??"  It's hubby.  I tell him she thinks there is a spider in her bed.  He grabs her and says,. let's go to bed.  Needless to say, I had little feet in my back all night.  We do not co sleep so this never happens.  I must admit though, I liked having my baby girl next to me.

What was funny is that as we laid them down for their nap today, she freaked out again and hubby had to turn the light on and show her there were no spiders.  This is all my fault.  I am deathly afraid of spiders.  She has seen me freak before so I'm sure that's where she gets it from.  Hopefully we don't go through this again tonight.  I'd like a good nights sleep.  I'm sure she would too.

So, any funny "bad dream" stories you'd like to share?

God bless,
