My own Personal Sanity Ambassador

This afternoon I am convinced that my little man is an angel sent directly from heaven. I swear I'm not one of "those moms" that thinks that there kid is absolutely perfect in every way . . . (I know he is) seriously though . . . .

He has been sent directly from the Big Man Upstairs (God). His mission is pure and simple. Keep me sane, keep me humble, keep me focused on what really matters in life. This is done through a variety of ways, but mainly he keeps me completely out of my own way. 

This morning I awoke after only getting a few hours of shut eye.(thanks to ridiculous sleep issues) His internal alarm clock is pretty precise and is turning out to be down to the minute. I laid in bed, hearing him fuss, hoping and praying that he would settle back down and allow me to catch a few more minutes of sleep. No such luck . . . the full on crying began. . . .my last attempt at staying in bed was wishful thinking that hubs would get up and sneak out quietly from the room . . . ha.

Instead I get an "babe, the baby is awake". ..  I know he's awake silly man...I was waiting for you to get him. My last straw was going to the bathroom before getting little man . . . thinking that now that hubs is obviously awake, he'll surely get him and then I can sneak from the bathroom back under my sheets. Again . . . I'm wrong. . . . the day continues much like this . . .. I am not trying to avoid my child . . . but simply in one of those "funky" moods that is screaming for some peace and quiet, alone time.

Throughout the day, at the precise moment that I am about to snap, say something witchy, or act rudely little man whips me back into focus and out of the witchy woman that was over taking my mind.

Seriously I can not count how many times his amazing smile, adorable laugh, or general cuteness saved me from saying, doing, and even sometimes thinking some horrible things today. (okay not thinking, I still thought everything  I wanted to say or do, but I should get some credit for not actually doing them)

Siesta Sundays

Today is an emotional day for me. Not really sure why, I am sure its hormones and the craziness that is the balancing act of my life. My heart is missing my family back home in New Jersey. We recently lost our family dog Toby. He was an awesome dog. The first real "family" pet we had. Sure we had guine pigs,, bunny rabbits, gecko's . . . but Toby was the first pet that we all shared. We each went through different ownership periods with him. But most definitely my little sister C. is the animal lover in our family. . . my all time favorite memory is her curling up in Toby's crate because she was convinced he was lonely. It is how I will forever remember Toby and one of the million reasons why I love my little sister C. We love you Toby. . . thanks for being an amazing pup!!!

Wordless wednesday


Okay not so much wordless ... but definitely a picture :o)Little man finally got the memo about enjoying car rides... he used to scream like bloody murder from the second his bum hit the seat until we are arrived at our destination. . . . . now ... (so as long as he is fed, dry, and "happy") he is a good road tripper.... he finally fell asleep the other day in the car... I just kept driving ... cherishing the moment that we were both finally happy in the car

Tackle it Tuesday

Tuesdays Tackle It day.... ugh... where to start . . . . .seriously, let me think. . . . . .

. . . . . . .


 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Okay so I've made lists like a crazy woman since moving, decided that if my life is going to be in any kind of order, I've gotta start checking it off one by one.

I have gotten so list crazy that I need a list for my lists.... ridiculous!!!!

My own person list is the focus for today.... I have a few things that seriously need attention....

1: was to get my "relax, rejuvinate, recharge, and study/work space" set up because today I start school ! I'm all set to go so that is one thing with a big old check mark next to it...

2. Little man should be napping in his room during the day if there is ever a chance of me being okay with him sleeping in there some night during his life time ... but honestly... I just love having him close to me.... I would probably end up sleeping on the floor in his room if he wasn't in here with us .. so ... that will wait... moving that over to the "get around to it sometime" list

3.  Started the low carb/low suger/ cut the crap out of my life diet today... went to the store, bought lots of stuff...lets see how long this one lasts . .  . I really am committed to loosing weight, and more importantly getting healthy .. . . so... we'll see how that goes

4. Ahh and I also have decided that after little man goes to sleep I am done ... clocking out... no more "work" for me... I shall use that time as "ME TIME" to do whatever the heck I want... but what that doesn't mean is laundry, dishes, bottles, sweeping, mopping, dusting. . . . everyone clocks out and I need to also!!!

So... this is my tackle it Tuesday. .. . anything your tackling today???
