Must be kidding me

I am sick again this week. This time with a nasty stomach bug. I really am so over this and have definitely used up my mommy sick days. I went in to the doctor today and they are running tests and treating me for salmonella poisoning. More later...

Happy Birthday, babe!

Happy Birthday to the hottest 36 year old!

Clear-er head

Last week was a terrible week for my migraines, and I mean terrible. This seems to happen about every 3 months or so and I don't know if it is hormones or stress, but whatever it is it is downright annoying! This one lasted just about 5 days and sent me to the doctor for a shot of painkillers on Friday to break the cycle. This week has started off much better and I have been trying to just relax, let thing slide off and not get wound so tight about the little things (we'll see how long that lasts).

Tomorrow is Frank's birthday and the kids and I are really looking forward to celebrating with him. I took them to buy him something over the weekend and they were very cute with their selections. Tomorrow we will also be having cheesecake feast(not fest) from Cheesecake Therapy which is Frank's favorite dessert place, yum!!!

Circus!

The circus on Saturday afternoon was awesome!! A BIG thanks to my parents for taking us and spoiling the kids rotten! We had a wonderful time and I am still trying to figure out where to get a pair of cool stilts to walk around the house it! ; )

Mmmmm October!

I LOVE October! It is my most favorite month and time of year. It's when summer ends in CO, the leaves change, sweaters and pants come back out and it's time to make soup and chili!! We also celebrate Frank's birthday and Halloween! Tomorrow we are going to the circus and we are all very excited. We haven't been to the big Ringling Bros. circus in over 5 years, and Megan has never been. I am sure we will all be stuff with circus goodness by then end of the day.

Fall...I love it!!

Baby Blues

Is it really possible to have baby blues when your kids are 4 and 6? I am kinda thinkin' it is, but it is a different sort of Baby Blues. It's more of the oh, where have the days gone when my little one use to smell so sweet, coo and look at me with all the love in the world. I am reminiscing because I saw and got to hold a friend's 8 day old baby today. She is the sweetest little thing and Thomas was even on the TV. It made me more than a little nostalgic for those days that I just left behind. It's amazing how quickly they pass by and now my sweet things are growing more and more independent with each passing day. For today, I gave that sweet baby girl an extra snuggle and knew that this mom had 2 very sweet babies as well, they are just much older now.

I'm getting over my blues just sitting here thinking about Mitch as a newborn and all of the endless crying nights. He still isn't much of one to go to bed on time but at least he doesn't cry all night long anymore!

Mitch 'O Lantern

This year for Halloween Mitch will be sporting the "scary Jack 'o lantern" look!!

He is such a goofy kid!
