Life Update

O my goodness. I have not updated in so long and I am so sorry. I promised to get better and really was trying but my computer crashed and I love blogging from it. Because doing it on my phone my thumbs cramp because my phone is so small. (iPhone 5c) It's extremely late and I am fixing to go to bed. Then as I was making a Facebook post I thought to myself why not make a blog about my post. I am going to update you guys on life in general as soon as I get my new computer. But for now I am going to paste my status to Facebook. 

    "The last two nights for sure Henry has been great at going to sleep and staying asleep at night. I think a lot because when I would get up in the middle of the night hed be laying on the couch and before heading back to bed, I always make sure he's snuggled to his blankie. Just to let him know he isn't alone. Tonight I'm finally getting ready to conk out and before I do, I always go to the bathroom. Low and behold Henry is right on my heels.  Wide awake and follows me. Then I go to the bedroom and he starts barking. So I fix his blanket behind the couch and snuggle him .he barks again. I said Henry James it's night night lay down. He lays down. It's amazing in a few short weeks he understands his new family. And honestly besides a few mishaps he really is a great dog."

Nope haven't had a baby yet. I'm sure the first line for ya but we have gotten a puppy. When we get him he was 8 weeks old. He is from what the previous owner has said for sure blueheeler and believed to be a mix with rotwaller.  Before we got him he didn't actually have a name but the lady said her husband has always called him Henry. So we kept the name Henry and his name is Henry James. And as stated from my FB post he really is a great dog. When we got him he was already potty trained to a puppy pad. But when he gets excited he still has accidents. Nothing major that oxi-clean can't fix.  But before going to bed I wanted to update those that do follow my blog and I am going to make it habit to post more I promise. 

Down below will be a picture of our sweet Henry and Ryleigh of course. Aren't they gorgeous?  

Why does it matter?

       You know people during the month of November write out what they are thankful for on Facebook. In a way to acknowledge and do something in honor for Thanksgiving. Well then you have negative Nancy's that complain because they should be thankful all year for this stuff not just November. No shit Sherlock, let people do as they feel without receiving backlash for doing it. To be honest I didn't do the thankful post this year mainly because I kept telling myself I was going to do it and before I knew it we are damn near to Thanksgiving.  

Remember my mentions of negative Nancy's a.k.a Debbie Downers. Well for some reason or another I haven't seen a lot of the Thankful post or downgrades from those who do them. But sweet georgia peach, I have never in my life seen so many people have a damn opinion  toward others for putting up their Christmas Tree, bringing out elf on the shelf, or any Christmas Decor before Thanksgiving.  

I put my tree up 4 days early this year and made a post about it. Then seen a status from a friend not even 10 minutes after mine saying, "Does anyone believing in waiting until after thanksgiving  to celebrate Christmas? Eat the Turkey before putting your tree up. Damn!! Well I added the cute picture below....

With the following status...

1. I am aware that Thanksgiving is 4 days away. 

2. I enjoy making my children happy, they have asked for a week, when can we put up the tree & when will our elves come to visit. 

3. Although my tree is up and elves are out doesn't mean I forgot what holiday is next. 

4. What gets me is a lot of people who get so worked up over people putting Christmas out before Thanksgiving are   usually the same people "Black Friday" pre-sale shopping on Thursday. Guess what it's still Thanksgiving. So you better watch it a day has 24 hours in it. So technically thanksgiving isn't over until midnight. Sorry ya gotta miss them pre sales at 6 pm thanksgiving day. 

5. One last thing, I wish people would understand the elf on the shelf isn't a disciplinary tool. Granted a lot of people including me as seen how great my children act when their elves return, but it holds a whole lot more. Like at 6:30 am when my children wake up running through the house hoping to find their elves. It's the smile on their face.  The happiness to see what the elves are up to while they are sleeping.

Therefor, let it be. Worry about you. 

That Time Of Year Again...

That time of year again where my world feels like it is crashing down before me. Is it truely what I want or is it something that just happens. To be honest it isn't what I want but it happens. I suffer with season depression. To be honest some years are better than others. However, I started feeling the affects of it starting today. The cold brisk air reminded me snow and ice is on its way.  I hate snow and Ice, I hate not being able to come and go as you please when there's no way out of the driveway because your car sits low to the ground and ya have snow rifts as high as your thighs ( I am 5'6) so you can imagine that one.  However, I love thanksgiving and Christmas. I love family time.  But I still deal with the seasonal depression. I still ache but with that being said. I am doing my best to actually enjoy this years ending. Hopefully there will be more to come. In Following Days. 

Five hours to be up and still no sleep.

My time its 8 minutes until 1 am. I know your thinking good God almighty woman you have to be up in five and half hours.  That's right I do, I mean how lovely would it be that the kids get up quietly, dress themselves, feed them breakfast.  (which in all honesty mine eat at school if they chose to. I now award me horrible mom of the year because I don't wake up every single morning to fix my kids a breakfast. To be honest they chose to eat at school. )   Oh back to daydreaming,  brush their hair and teeth,  gather/make sure they have everything, and then wake me up when it's time to take them.  So what's keeping me awake you may ask? Well it's honestly a number off things. 1. The major thing is my pinched sciatic nerve.  I had a wreck my senior year of high school and fracture my tailbone. Over the years the bottom of my spine which some refer to as your tailbone has curved and looks like a hook.  Which also puts pressure on my sciatic nerve. My son also when I was pregnant laid on my nerve. (Thank You Son*insert sarcasim*) 

2. Not as major but important. Cluttered mind,stressful mind, and it won't shut off. I'm in the process of "fall purging". I fall clean and purge, nor spring. Don't ask why, it just works for us better. Don't get me wrong I do spring clean as well just not in depth. However, I'm tired of the clutter. But trying to do it all by yourself gets tiresome (no pun intended). But I lay in bed thinking, what I might do next and then bam, I am up writing a blog post. Before u know it, it's late and I'm needing my brain to shut up at least for 5 hours. Instead I will drag tomorrow and get little to nothing done. Which leads me back to square one. Ugh !!!!!

3. On top of all of that I also suffer from insomnia. I am sure ya could figure that out when I said my brain doesn't shut off when it should. No further details to explain. 

Now I will try this whole bed thing one more time. 

Adios Amigos/amigas.

Growing Up..

It is something that from the time we are born we are taught. We aren't taught how to "grow up" but we do just that. The things we are taught are for us to take with us when we venture away from our parents. When life takes full force and we become an adult. However there are people out there that just never get that memo. I am no saint but I am human. I do use curse words. When I was younger and going through the "growing up" stage yeah I cursed liked a sailor. As I have become an adult and grew up. I learned that ya can get your point across without being a raging lunatic (well sometimes not all the time.) You know the E Card that floats around Facebook that says, "Why does mommy have to become a raging lunatic before anything gets done?" Yep can't say that I haven't ever done that but back to being a grown up. Some people never do. Then you look at the parents and you can see why but not always.  But into more detail of where this is going, once you have kids and eventually grow up because not everyone is fully mature when they have their first child. But the does should come where you realize life is so much more happier without the unnessacary drama. Right? Well back to where I said not always.  

When you are a grown woman looking to manipulate people so in the end you can make yourself seem as you are the victim. Isn't just wrong but shows how much attention you crave. Be a woman face facts and realize you are in the wrong. There is no need trying to tear a small family like town down just so you can get off. It gets old after a long while. No after the first day. Well needless to say this year is almost over and the drama I have been bring into has gonna on started in March of this year. But in the end it shows your mentality and just how childish a person really is. When a person changes their number to get rid of the harassment and you wait months until the initial fight was over to start more again unnessacary drama to get your fix is childish. To involve people in it that barely even know who you are to get a rise out of me is childish. To lie and say you didn't get your add whooped by someone that wasn't me as well as 15 times smaller than you, then get on Facebook and claim the poor pitiful me I tried to kill myself and no one cares. Is again childish because it shows in that situation that ya can't come to terms with getting your ass whooped because others finally figured you out.  But then blame me and say I am the one getting the story wrong and spreading "lies" when I can't help I was told ya got your ass whooped. But doesn't mean I was saying anything about it. 

But last but not least lets explain the true childish side of this person and her manipulation. She's in her late 20s a child my daughters age but she coaches her child to go to school and bully the people she's mad at children. Who from the grown up parents children had no clue anything was going on. 

Again just venting because in the last week I have been a raging lunatic sailor but in the end I am still the grown up in the situation.  My 6 year is more grown up than the grown woman I am referring to. Now that's sad. 

But after the venting I am heading to bed. Hope to get a great nights sleep. :) 

Ps. If there is any grammar or misspelled words, sorry it's almost 2 am and I've been up since 7 so I am tired typing most of this with one eye closed. :) 

Happy Birthday To You

Happy Birthday to everyone that has had or will have a birthday in October. Who's birthday do I celebrate in October, you may ask? Let me start with my baby girl turned 10. Yes, big ten year on our hands.  She had a last minute birthday party that she enjoyed so much.  Ten days later is my daddies birthday. He turned 60 this year. He has always told me that the day he turned 50, ten years ago he received the best present ever in which was Ryleigh.  Five days after my dads birthday (which is today) is Ken's birthday. He turned the big 34 today. He has enjoyed it by going outside teaching our son how to shoot deer in the "butt"! (Don't worry all Brayden has is a small children BB gun, he isn't allowed to touch it without adult supervision.) he took Brayden out to where Ken has been hunting to check to see if his "salt rocks" have been messed with. Then went skeet shooting with what might as well be our brother in law. And finally tomorrow the 26th is my sisters birthday. Whom will be the big 38 (she will probably hunt me down for enclosing her age) but hey she still looks young. 

October is the month we have that literally is the most obnoxious month when trying to budget.  It's everyone we loves birthday month. But on top of it all my baby cousin had her baby October 21st. Woohooooo Lordy help me. 

Do you have a huge month that every other day your celebrating a birthday? 

October is ours....

What's yours? 

Hope you enjoy reading this post. Come back now. 

Carnival in the Cold...

This past weekend was one of our local towns annual carnivals. As well as the annual huge parade that my daughter participates in for her dance class.  Needless today this is the first year in six years that we've done this parade that the temperature was devastatingly cold. It wasn't just a cool morning and hot afternoon. I don't think the temp made it past 50 on top of misting rain.  Cold weather didn't stop my babies enjoying their time. Mines the one in the red in re picture below.
