Tonight

Every day there is someone out there who gets bad news about their own health or the health of someone they love.

Ever click on 'Next Blog' up on top? I did the other day. Most times I just keep clicking and don't stop. But there was a blog that made me stop and actually read. It was of a woman who has a daughter who just turned one years old. Her little girl was born with Down Syndrome. She's a strong woman with a positive out look on life and thanks God for sending her her beautiful perfect little girl.

Today she wrote a new blog. She just found out she has cancer. Cancer. She's married and has small children. A daughter with Down Syndrome. And she just found out she has cancer. Leukemia. And still she's staying positive.

I don't know this woman but my heart aches for her. And I realize how thankful I am with my life. Yes I just received sad news about Dylan. Yes he has a hard time speaking, but he's HEALTHY! He's smart. He's beautiful. He's alive and healthy.

Tonight I am thankful to God. Tonight I'm going to hug and kiss everyone in my little family. Tonight I am thankful for our health. And tonight I pray for this woman and her family.

Mama

My sons one word is "Mama". I'm torn on how I feel about that.

Nothing makes me happier when Dylan comes up to me and says Mama and I know he really means me.

But at the same time... when he calls everything and everyone else Mama it makes me a little sad.

These past few days have been hard on me. I notice more and more how Dylan's struggling every day. And honestly it seems like it's getting worse. I pray that we can start his therapy sessions soon.

Why'd I take a nap?!

The boys and I went over to my parents house to help them paint their kitchen. It went well. Though we didn't get much done. And I sorta fell asleep on the couch during a "break". Thankfully Dylan fell asleep at the same time and my mom let me sleep for a few hours. It was really nice. I haven't taken a nap since... I can't remember when. But now its 10:13 and I'm not even a little tired. That worries me since I'm normally tired at this time and still stay up till 2 a.m. Wonder if I'll see the sun come up this morning? Haha probably not! :)

I'm thinking of watching a movie but I have no idea at all what to watch. Guess I'll just have to sit at the computer and search for a while. Romantic comedy seems good. I started one called Timer but I just couldn't get myself to sit and watch it. I want to craft! I want to knit or crochet! But I don't have a project to work on. Ravelry has some great patters but I really don't feel like spending a lot of money right now. Maybe I should check lion brands site for some free things. Blah blah blah. This is probably the worst blog entry :P Maybe I can find some cute pictures to throw in so that its not a complete waste.

My husband and me

Aidan. Just in case he forgets who he is or gets lost ;)

Family photo (before Dylan)

Aidan sure LOVES hugs from Mommy! Don't know why he's trying to get away ;)

My boys and I. Crazy about these kids!

I had fun going through all these photos. Makes me smile to see everyone changing and growing and remembering the past. I can't wait to see what the future holds for us.

Oops, I forgot a title...

I meant to write a post since I have a few new things to share. Instead I watched a movie with my husband :) Amelie was great! If you haven't seen it, you really should!

Today I was going through the pictures from my cell phone and came across this one. I fell in love with these little boys and made them my new desktop background. Now every time I sit at my computer I go "Awwww". I really do make cute boys (thanks to my husband) but I'd really like for this next one to be a girl. And I say 'this' next one, not as in I'm pregnant right now (I don't think) but we're trying!


Hope everyone had a great Monday!

Sick? Tired? BLAH

I think Aidan's coughing in my face during the night is finally taking its toll on me. I am just exhausted! Right now its at the point where I can hardly keep my eyes open. I don't want the kids to talk to me and I just want to curl up into a ball and sleep. Of course I have a husband who's sleeping and two kids that are wide awake, so a nap is just not something that's going to happen for me :/

I had high hopes of waking up this morning and cleaning house. Even more so since I just saw that show Hoarders. OMG some of those people. I feel soooo sorry for them. I actually had to turn off the show and walk away at some points. I might never watch that show again. So instead of waking up and cleaning, I realized right away that I was exhausted and moody. Very very very moody. Husband said I was a mean person. Hah. That's putting it nicely. So I threw the kids in the bath after breakfast, got ready and headed out the house with no idea where we were going.

Aidan decided Joann's was a good place to start the day so we went in and looked around. Some very cute Halloween papers I might have to go back for. But once there I started getting a nasty back ache and felt little prickles all over my skin. So we ended up not buying anything and rushed out of there.

After that we stopped at Starbucks so I could get some coffee to wake me up. It was very yummy, but it didn't wake me up lol. So off to the library we went. They had tons of craft books there! But almost all of them were old and nothing that I really wanted to take home and look over even more. Except one origami book. Aidan and I are going to try our luck at folding some paper into butterfly's and birds. I'll have to take pictures of our attempts :P

So after the library we decided it was time to go home and clean. Still haven't cleaned :P But really, once I get off this computer I'm going to start. Really... Tho I'd rather be at the beach. Laying on the warm sand and listening to the ocean.

But since I can't stay awake long enough to drive there... being at home with my nose picking boys isn't such a bad thing. As long as they play in their room, not hurt each other, and leave me alone. :)


Uh oh, I hear screaming....
