I am in need of

some help. I am VERY frustrated right now and I do not know what to do!! Katie has been VERY FRUSTRATING and I have no clue how to go about changing things. She hardly ever listens to me. Gets into things over and over again. And just will not leave her sister alone and she has this thing of now going into her room and waking her up. Which was kind of fine two weeks ago but now Emmy is in a big girl bed so here they both come into my room at 630 in the morning. Then Emmy is very grouchy and won't go back to sleep. Then to top it all off I feel she is not getting enough sleep so that is making her grouchy on top of it all. She talks back. She sounds like a 13 year old sometimes. I am sorry I keep rambling. I am just at a very aggravated point right now. I have tried time outs, taking stuff away. I am just at a loss right now!! Any suggestions?? I know a lot of it has to be because she is 3 and it is the age but this bad!!??!!??

Hate being sick!!

I feel like a freight train has run over me. I got the stupid flu!! Yuck!! Because I called it stupid it is going to beat me up some more. ;-) When I got home from work on Thursday I started feeling very achy. Also more tired then I already had been feeling for the last two days. So my friend called me to let me know that she had gotten me some stuff for Emmy and I told her I thought I had it. She said I have a flu test if want to take it. I said please. She works at a Drs Office. Yup came back positive. She had some tamiflu with her so I started it and called my dr and got the rest of the doses I needed to get rid of this mess. I feel bad because I worked with the 2 year olds at work on Tuesday and Thursday. I sure hope no one gets this crud. I do not wish it on my worst enemy. I really hope that Gary and the girl's do not get this mess. Today I still feel very bad!! I just want to sleep and I can barely talk my throat is so sore. So it is not looking good for me tonight when we normally go to my parent’s house. I guess I will send Gary and the girls. I am going back to the couch and hope the girls won’t attack me there. Hee hee:-D

Katie's first trip to the dentist

She was such a good girl! Wendy, our dental hygienist said she was the best three year old that she has had in her chair. She got to do the sucker thing herself. She had a very good time. She was not happy though when the dentist came in so she would not let him look at her. He said hopefully next time he will get to see in her mouth. Gary came and surprised us by coming and then we went and had pizza for lunch. Katie's favorite food!! It was a nice afternoon! Here are some cute pictures.


We had so much fun!!

Gary and I got back from Vegas on Monday. We met Jen, my best friend from Florida. She had meetings for work there so we thought we would meet up. It was the first time in ten years that we have had a chance to be together without something going on. Like a wedding or a baptism. We went to Hoover dam, the strip, and downtown. How Gary and I got there was an experience in it's self. Hee hee We fly standby and there was absolutely no flights going to Vegas so we found the closest airports to Vegas. This happens to be Burbank CA going and then Ontario, CA on the way back. Once we go to California we drove four to five hours through the Mojave desert to get there and then three to four hours back. The drive was very pretty the mountains are gorgeous!! Here are some pictures of the trip that I took.

Happy 3rd Birthday My Baby Girl

I can not belive how fast three years has gone!! Katie turned 3 on Sunday. She is turning into a lovely little girl. She has a mind of her own which is nice sometimes but other times it is a bit frustrating but it is fun to see what she does next!! I am so blessed to be her Mommy!! It has been a great pleasure to be there when she needs me and to help her grow into a strong little person! I remember the day we came home from the hopital as if it were yesterday. That sweet little baby in my arms is growing up so fast that it is hard to keep up with her sometimes. The things she learns and knows just amaze me with every new days that goes by. This saying says it all.

A baby girl...
one of the most beautiful miracles in life,
one of the greatest joys we can ever know,
and one of the reasons why
there is a little extra sunshine, laughter and happiness
in your world today.

I love you so much Katelyn Elizabeth!!
My have you grown!! Just Born

I am so tired

Part of it is my fault for going to bed at midnight however........My almost three year old, wonderful daughter that I love to pieces, decided that she wanted to sleep with me at 12:55am. Well I told her to go to bed numerous times over a period of a few hours. I heard her finally lay down next to my bed and I thought she went to sleep. Well at around 3am she comes to me and says "Mommy, Emmy is awake." I go what?!?!?! I can see the end of the house from my side of the bed so I look down that way and see Emmy's door wide open with the light on and all of the lights on in the house. I go what is going on Katie WHY did you wake up Emmy and turn on all of the lights in the house?? She said "god was bowling" I said it is not going to bother you if you go to sleep so please go to bed!! We were having a pretty good storm. Put her back to bed and then attempt to get Emmy back to sleep. Haa haa what a joke!! She thought it was play time! Gary comes to that end of the house and he gets her to calm down and go back to sleep. I am so happy that she will do that with him but not me lately! I can get her to lay down the first time but if she wakes up any other time, Gary has to put her to sleep. I guess I am glad that she is really becoming a Daddy's girl but it is hard when you have been the one that she wants and now she doesn't. So I finally get to bed, and go to sleep around 4am until my alarm clock goes off at 630am and I hit the snooze button until 7. So I am sleepy!! On a good note I did go to the gym this morning. I am hoping I keep it up again!

The Nap

This is so cute and so me!!

The Nap
Rhonda Headley, Council Coordinator
Recently one morning, my husband and I found ourselves in the midst of some intriguing circumstances. The girls were away, he didn’t have to be at work for three more hours, we had no pressing demands on our time, and we were home alone. Whatever could we do with ourselves? With a twinkle in our eyes and our hearts skipping a beat, we let out the dog, turned off the phone and ran to the bedroom. The flannel sheets enveloped us, we spooned, and we immediately ... lost consciousness. That’s right. We napped! And I do not mean that as a euphemism for anything else but hard-core sleeping. In fact, two-and-a-half hours later, we awoke stiffened in our spoon positions. We hadn’t moved an inch. My husband had serious sheet prints on his face, and I think I detected a small pool of drool on my pillow. That nap was sheer ecstasy and easily one for the record book!

I have always craved sleep. I am a Queen Napper. In college, I would schedule classes with just enough time between to slip back to the dorm and doze awhile. Later when I was a substitute teacher during the day, I would rush home to take a quick siesta, and then go to my second job as a restaurant server. Even now, on Sundays, I dream about taking luxurious naps while my husband and kids ignore me.

However, I never knew “tired” until I became a parent. The midnight feedings, the worry, the nightmares (theirs and mine), the calls for water and back-scratches (no kidding), and a dog with no bladder control whatsoever have marred my sleep more times than you can imagine. I actually find myself daydreaming about sleep.

So if you call my house during the day and you know I’m not at work, just leave a message. I’m probably taking advantage of the best guilty pleasure (besides chocolate): I’m napping!

Prayer From a Mother's Heart
Dear God, teach my child the value of rest.

Motivation

I have got too get motivated to start working out again. I was doing so well and then the holidays started and then everything went down hill. Well I guess a few other things happened as well. I had very minor surgery and then less than a week later I flipped Gary's truck so I guess there is a little more to the story. I am fine now I just need to get going. I have a yoga and Pilates videos that are great and my treadmill that are calling my name as we speak. I have about 50 lbs to loose before I even think about trying to have another baby. I know pregnancy is going to be hard when I am 50lbs lighter as it would be right now but I think it will be easer if I feel good about myself, and right now that is not happening!!! I guess the impending pregnancy is my motivation and just feeling good about me as well. So I leave this as I will find my motivation today and will at least do one of the videos. We will see. Hee hee

No more monkey's jumping on the bed

Tonight before the girl's go to bed I hear Katie singing. She is singing the song no more monkey's jumping on the bed coming from her room. So I get the camera just in case it is a good picture moment. The girls are on her bed. I am not sure if they were jumping on it but more than likly they were. They see me a give me these cute little grins. It was so cute!! Here are some pics.
















Then Katie desided that she was wanting a picture of her laying in bed.

Well

I am new with this whole blogging thing at least on here. So I have been looking at other blogs so I can see what different and cool stuff to do on them so I will be putting some new stuff on here when I get a chance. So far this stuff is pretty cool!

I love this short movie from Disney!! It is so cool and the fact that it has my name in it just makes it greater!!! Here it is if anyone wants to watch it. So I thought that my blog should have the name "Susie, the Little Blue Coupe".
