Wow~over a month since my last blog

So much has happened in the last month. I had a wonderful massage from a wonderful person, who just so happens to be my husband's girlfriend...haha...not really! I went on a tiny retail therapy binge which I think ticked off Cass, but he was nice and NEVER said anything! Love him! And I had surgery to repair 2 hernias that I had acquired during my pregnancies. Which, of course, was the biggest event of the month. I went in for surgery on the 25th of Feb, which was really not a big deal. I remember this funny guy transporting me into the room for surgery and some man telling me to breathe deeply and then I was at home! Ha! Gotta love those drugs! Then I stayed home-which I loved! And now I'm antisocial b/c I loved being at home by myself all that time.
So, today I'm back at work. Still in pain, but I've gotta get the bills paid and get some stuff done here so everyone else that works here can pay their bills, too!
But, with all this going on I feel like I've gotten lost somewhere. I'm not as happy as I was. Almost like that surgeon removed part of my soul. I feel empty at times...which should not be how it is. I know that I am blessed with so much, but I still feel like I am lacking something. Maybe it's my lack of human contact. Hopefully that will get better with my return to the office.

On a better note: Eden started walking this weekend!! She is so cute, too! She's so proud of herself and I love how Easton is so excited for her to "be big"! Kids are the best! Easton was such a trouble-maker this weekend. He was just crazy on Saturday, then Sunday he woke me up playing with my phone. I think he sent a few crazy texts...who knows?? Then he decided to wear big boy "undawear" and we went outside and he squatted and peed in the carport and then announced to everyone (including the new neighbor) that he peed in his undawear! And after he got in trouble at dinner for throwing a fit for "yogret" before he ate his dinner and got sent to his room, he snuck out and got the remote to the TV (OH-we got Direct TV, too!) and did something to the satellite that it took us forever to figure out!! Thank GOD we got it fixed b/c it was Desperate Housewives night and I was definitely feeling like a desperate housewife!

So....maybe my blogs will be more frequent. Maybe I will remember things to put on here. Ahhh...I can use my fancy new phone (that I forgot to mention that I also got this month) and send myself reminders to blog! :o)

Peace & Love Y'all!

Blaaaahhhh...

In my last post I talked about what a horrible week it had been...well, it only got worse. I'm past all that now and have decided to not worry about the past, but now everyone is sick! Eden has double ear infections, Cass has what I think is bronchitis, I have a sore throat and a migraine, and Easton is snotty and MEAN! Ok-so the mean part isn't a sickness, but seriously...

He's just now telling me that he needs to go potty-he JUST pooped in his pull-up, but we'll see what happens. It's days like these that make me want to crawl in a hole and never come out. But, we'll make it through. Today is a yucky, cloudy day and I gave everyone Benadryl for their snots :) and we can take a nap in a little bit! :) Currently, we are watching that Japanese game show on G4 and it is cracking me up!

Oh-I get to go to the library today! It's one of my favorite places! I love the smell of the books and the quiet hush of pages flipping... :) So calming! K-y'all have a good day! I'm off for a nap and then some studying to help Cass with school. Yes-I am a great wife! ;) (heehee)

Peace & Love y'all!

What a Week (and it's only Tuesday!)

Okay...it's been a while. This is NOT at all how I expected my blogging to go. I had hoped to have time to post every day, but it's not looking so good for that! :)

Eden's birthday party was a success! She was so good! It was all because she was the center of attention! Little diva! Haha! She got tons of summer clothes which is just what she needed. Easton did much better than expected. All morning he was getting ready for "EE's and my birthday party"! But, once it started, I think he understood better. And then-right after the party it started snowing! It was so cool b/c about a week after we brought her home from the hospital we had flurries, too!

Easton has been a typical 2 year old so far this week. He told me Sunday that I could not cut his fingernails because-"I don't have fingers, or hands. I a water snake!" Where in the world do they come up with this stuff?? Then today he was getting in trouble for sitting on the table and just turned his little head and started singing Jingle Bells as loud as he could!! Haha! It's so hard to discipline him b/c he just cracks me up!! But, between him and Cass I am always laughing. They are two of the most important people in my life right now b/c laughter is a necessity.

Things have been crazy at my office for about a month now. It's been really stressful and I'm not really sure what my plans are for the future. I have, however, in the last week been completely broken down and asked God to just take control. I have always been such a control freak and I just have to let this go. I am in no way control of my life right now-if I wanted to be or not! So-HE will lead me in the right direction and I will take the time to listen to what that direction may be.

We have also had a tragedy this week. Cass's cousin, Todd, passed away this morning from apparent complications from cirrhosis. We're not exactly sure what happened, but he was bleeding internally and were unable to stop it. I feel really bad for Cass's aunt (Maxine). Todd was her only child and she spent so much of her time doing for him that I worry that she won't have anything to occupy that time and will get depressed.

So-it's only Tuesday and I'm exhausted. We have a long week ahead, but the Lord will see us through. Personally, I'm praying for warmer weather. Anything below 50 degrees should be illegal! :) Haha!


*afterthought* i'll try to post pictures sometime this week. i'll have to figure it out! :) Peace & Love!
