Random Nonsense

I don't really have a purpose of blogging tonight...other than I feel like I need to.

Sounds exciting huh.

So, let me apologize for anything in advance that might come out of my mouth tonight. :-)

Ever feel lost? Like you don't know where you are going? But you know you have to keep moving forward? That's kind of how I have felt today.

and trust me, I have MANY reasons to be happy.
I remind myself of them D.A.I.L.Y
(many times a day)

But sometimes you just wonder what's going on, and
what's the point

I am sure the weather attributes to a lot of this
also a sick kid who isn't letting me get much sleep


I do a lot of thinking
which I usually try not to do, because I don't like diving too far into this head of mine

but sometimes, you just have to

there are a lot of things I am going to work harder on.
and some things that I am really going to try and let go

no matter how painful it may be
no matter how many tears are shed
because that's what I want to do right now

Curl up and have a good cry



but know that for now, I am alive and surviving each day

and I have one CUTE little boy :-)

And my mood will pick up soon, don't you worry :-)

Potty Training?

I think I might officially be crazy.
Why?
We are trying to potty train.
YIKES!
He's growing too fast.
But I can't tell you how excited I will be once he is OUT of diapers!

He is currently standing here wearing nothing but Mickey Mouse underwear.
And I can't tell you how cute he looks. :-)
How grown up he looks. :-(
And since I put them on him, he has actually told me when he needs to go to the bathroom!
can it really be easier than I thought?
I am sure there are going to be LOTS of accidents.
And I am sure we are going to have a hard time.
But HEY
We've got to start somewhere. :-)

And why not start at the beginning

This weekend

This weekend I am staying with this wonderful lady.


She is my Great Grandmother. She is a funny lady. She went and had her hair done, and wouldn't let me forget that we were going to take her picture. So I had to make sure that I got those pictures in. I love this picture of the two of us. It's a good one to have. :-)
That and I LOVE the frost that shows up on the trees from the fog up here. And actually I think it is smog, but it puts this frost on the trees, and I love the frost.

Anyway. My grandparents are out of town, so I am up with Wendy and my mom and we are putting in a joint effort to watch my great grandma. It's going to be fun. :-)

My Boy

My boy is growing up. I know I've told you all this before. But he's growing up. He enjoys having his picture taken now. (And as you can see from the photo below, he is starting to pose for me)
I love it.

This little boy means the WORLD to me. He is the highlight of my life. He is the reason I get up every day, and the reason I do what I can to provide for him. He is a sweetheart, and will melt your heart with his "I love you's" and his hugs and kisses. He is my life.
I've been going through a rough patch, and I feel SO lucky to have this little guy in my life. He makes everything worth it. Sometimes I don't think so, but in the big picture, he does.

I love his face.
I love his cute toes.
I love the way he tickles me in the morning to get me to wake up.
I love the way he looks at me and say's "I love you".
I love the way that he snuggles me when I'm scared.
I just love him.

And somehow, when I look at him. I know everything is going to be ok.


Enjoy :-)

Still here

I know I haven't posted a whole lot. But I thought I would let you know that I am still here. And still doing well. We are alive.

We are going to a special Ward Conference tomorrow, and I am very excited. I will try to update you when we are done.

I am still at Bath and Body Works. Turns out my seasonal job is extended longer. Which is good. It will really help out. Sam is still working at the Ranch, and we are trying to find him a job in his field. Hopefully we will be able to find one soon. :-)

I've been doing a lot of thinking, and I have some AMAZING friends and family who have helped me figure out things that I need to do in my life. I am glad to say that I will be a better person because of this. And I hope that I can do what I can to relay what's been going on. So, I will be updating soon.
Promise.

New do

Bubba got his hair cut today. Last time we cut his hair, he HATED it! Meaning, he BAWLED the whole time. Needless to say, we didn't want to try again. I was cutting Sam's hair and he was interested. He wanted us to cut his. He sat there and let us cut it.
No fit. No bawling. Nothing.
GREAT! So, then he went to have a bath afterwards. He ended up standing up in the tub after we told him not to, and slipping. He fell and hit his head against the edge of the tub. Poor boy. He cried for a second, but then was done. I think it gave him a headache though, because randomly he would look at me and say "ow" and point to his head. Poor boy. He has received MANY kisses today. He was playing peek-a-boo with me today. Love him!

Trying to figure out how to get to me and get my camera



He got Grandpa's camera instead. :-)

More peek-a-boo

LOVE the B&W ones as well.
