Tuesday....feeling like a Monday.


Well it is Tuesday...but it feels like a Monday!! Blahh. Mondays are no fun!
I had a wonderful 3 day weekend and was still not ready to come back to work, even with the extra day off. We spent most of our weekend outside swimming and hanging out with the fam. It was GREAT!! And now here I am already counting down till Friday!! That is just how I roll I guess. I love my weekends.

My baby brother is now a High School graduate!! So proud of him. He is college bound now. Time just goes by way too fast. I am just so very thankful that he will be staying here for college! I would be lost without seeing him everyday!! He is such a sweetie. Abby just adores Colten and Dalten both! Now it is time for me to put my big girl panties on and get ready for Abby to start school in August. She is still pretty excited about and I am very happy about that. I am sure that she will love it. I think that it will take time for me to get used to the whole "my baby girl is not a baby anymore" thing. Yes, I know that it is going to happen whether I am ready for it to or not! And with my little girl growing up so fast I am ready to have another one. The only thing is my husband is still on the fence about it. :( I am so ready. I just loved being prego. I just loved everything about it. I think that Abby is ready to be a big sister. So wish me luck on talking to my hubby about it. :) If I am not prego by my next birthday then I don't think that I will have anymore. I think that 29 will be my cut off. But who knows. I am just ready right now. It is all just so much fun!!! Maybe sometime soon I will be able to have a post saying that I am prego!!! That would be the greatest!! I am keeping my fingers crossed. :)

The Hubby and I have been doing some major yard work in our back yard! I think that I have been pulling weeds in my sleep. The yard is already looking much much better. I cant wait till we get it all finished and then we will be starting on the front yard, I guess that it is really never ending...but once we get all the major stuff done then it will just be the up keep! And that is easier and not as much work. It is crazy, I actually have been enjoying sitting in the back yard pulling weeds. I am not sure why but I really have been enjoying myself. :) I think I like that I can see the progress that I make at that very moment. There is no waiting around to see what all I have done. I see it right then. It is nice. I guess I like instant gratification. :)

Good Dream

Hey You,

I had a dream about you last night. It felt so real, I woke up and wondered if it had really happen. I have had dreams in the past that felt real but nothing like this. It is like I could feel your touch. You were happy. And I was so happy to see you. Your hug felt amazing. Just to see your smile again brought tears to my eyes. We talked but I could not here what words were spoken. We just stood there holding each other for the entire dream. It really was amazing. I have seen you in my dreams before but this was different. The dreams I have had before seem to be memories that I am reliving. This was not a memory. This was real. It was new. I have no idea where we were or how long we were there but I am lucky....lucky that I got to see your smiling face one more time. I feel ok now. I feel like we had a chance to say goodbye now...or see ya later. Thank you so much for the visit and the dance. You can come back anytime.

                     Miss you like crazy,
                                   Ashley

Happy Tuesday!!

This month has just flown by! I can't believe that my baby brother will graduate from high school this weekend! Wow. I am starting to feel a little bit old with all these things going on....Dalten graduating...Abby starts school in August....ughhh. Change....I am not much of a fan of it.:) But I guess that I better get used to it cause as soon as my baby girl starts school it will be nothing but a bunch of change going on! I am excited for her but sad that she is growing up so fast.

This weather is killing me! My head is hurting and nose is stuffy! Blah! Can it just be one way or the other please!?!?
Hope this day does not draggggggg by like yesterday did:)

I will not bore you with the details....One exciting little tid bit is that my baby girl lost her first tooth this weekend!!! *tear* I will post some pics tonight. She was so excited! It was the cutest thing ever!!! Waiting on this Monday at work to come to an end.....

Mondays really suck! The weekend was not long enough and I am feeling like I got hit by a truck! I don't know if it is allergies or a cold but I feel yucky:(
Gonna head to the chiropractor for lunch today and I am ready. I will probably fall asleep during my therapy.:) It is very relazing and I am already having a hard enough time stayin awake.
Come on Friday!!!

Mother's Day

I had a perfect day today. I spent the day with my Momma and the rest of my family. This is pretty much no different than any other weekend for us but we had a wonderful time. I got two wonderful cards, a new purse and a gift card to Bed Bath and Beyond. :)

Yesterday we went to see my Memaw. Then we decided to head to Quanah to this little shop that my Aunts friend owns and check out what all she had. She has the cutest stuff ever. My Mom and I both got new purses and wallets. I will try and post a pic of the purse I got tomorrow. I love it.

We had our Sunday brunch this morning with the fam and then Abby, Dalten and Pops headed out to Meme's house to get the pool ready and start on lunch. I came home and hung out for a little bit then Justin and I went to the store to get a few things and headed that way too. Dalten had to patcch a couple of holes in the pool so they had just really started filling it up. But as soon as I got there with Abby's swimming suit she was ready to get in and play. Dalten, being the wonderful uncle that he is got in there with her and played with her. Poor Bella was so hot, so we decided to put her in there and see if she liked it. OMG, she loved it. They will be buying her a pool tomorrow I am sure. She was so excited. Here are some pics that I took of them playing today. :)

My Momma and Baby Girl



















As you can see they had a blast. I a very very good weekend and I am sad that it has to come to an end.
Back to life...work in the morning.

Fishing Trip:)

Today Abby and her Uncle Dalten went fishing. She was so excited to go just the two of them. I did run up there for a few minutes to take some pics of them. :)

My Lil Baby Girl

Love this one

And this one too

Aww. I love them both so much!

He is taking care of all the business and she is kicking back. That's my girl.




I am so blessed with such a wonderful family!

I love Fridays

Oh my goodness!
I just love the fact that today is Friday and that I am off work for two whole days. Love it love it love it! We don't really have any big whooo hawww plans but I still just love the weekends.

Not sure what we are going to do for my Momma yet. She usually will give me some ideas on what she wants or needs but not this year. So I am leaning towards taking her to get a pedi sometime this weekend. That is something that we can both enjoy and have a little time with just the two of us. It sounds like a good plan to me. :)

I think that us girls (Abby, my Mom and I) are going to get up pretty early and go and see my Memaw for Mother's Day in the morning. She will be leaving for Austin early Sunday morning to watch Ryan (Moose) play golf! He is really good and is going to state this year. *so proud* We want to make sure that we get a chance to celebrate with her so we will be spending sometime with her tomorrow. I love going to her house. It is out in the middle of no where, outside of a little country town and it is wonderful. Her house is beautiful, she is beautiful. It will just be good time for all there. On the drive to her house once we get to a certain point it is almost like a weight is lifted off my shoulders. Its crazy. I just feel at peace there. No worries. Very peaceful. Which is something I could use a lot of right now.

I want to move out in the country so bad. I just love it. I have pretty much lived in the country all my life and I want to be back there so much. Some day soon I will be back where I belong. I want to be able to go outside in the early morning and drink coffee on the swing in my tee and panties and not have to worry about anyone or anything. That is the life.

My brother is a senior is high school this year and it is getting close to graduation. I am getting all freaked out just thinking about it. Why you may ask?? Well because that means that I am getting old and the main thing is that Abby my little baby girl will be starting school in August. I think that she is more ready than I am. Actually I know that she is more ready than I am. I am not ready at all. You have the parents who are like-my kid is starting school, its no big deal, and then you have me-I am so happy for her but at the same time her starting school means that she is grwoing up and I am just not ready for that! I am sure that after the first year or two of her being in school I will get used to the idea... Haha. But really I am very excited for her and all that she is about to expierence.  My brother will start college right away, which is so great. I had planned on taking a semester off from school and just chiling and guess what here I am today and I never went. Dalten is different. He has his head on straight. He is very very good at school. All of that stuff come wvery easy to him. I know that he will do great in college and just be great at life. Enought about that or I will be tearing up. :)

I don't want to speak to early or anything but I think that I may be out of my funk! Yipee! Or maybe it is just because it is Friday and I am so ready for the weekend. I have a bottle of Parrott Bay and some pineapple juice waiting on me to drink er' up! Let's hope that the Doc that is working this afternoon is balls to the wall ready to get outta here like I am!

Happy Friday to all!!

Fill in the Blank Friday!!!

Happy Friday!!!

Fill in the blank time!

Link up here to play along!


1. What I love most about my home is:

It is mine. I can change things anytime that I want to. I love being there.

2. I'm excited because:

Today is Friday and Payday!!!

3. My preferred method for blowing off steam when I'm frustrated is:

I usually go and sit in my big old chair in my laundry room, smoke a cig and vent to my Momma either on the phone or in person.

4. Currently I am craving:

The past week or so I have been eating pickles like crazy. I am not sure why but I would really love to have one right now. I have been eating like 2 or more a day. Nuts.

5. The thing I love most about my mom is:

She is the shit! I love and admire so many things about her. She has never been selfish one time my whole life. She is always doing for others while thinking of herself last. She is the most wonderful Mother, Best Friend and Grandmother EVER!!!!!

6. If I was going to write a book about my life, the title would be:

The Perfect Mess

7. If I were to eat one thing for the rest of eternity it would be:

At this moment it would be pickles that I can not live without. But really I go through phases where I eat the same things over and over again for a couple of weeks and then I get so tired of them I almost never want to eat them again. Yea, it is crazy but its what I do.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL THE MOMMAS OUT THERE!!

Good Evening

I actually am feeling a little bit better today. I think that just maybe I am on my way back to being ummmm, well normal I guess.

Got off work and went to the chiropractor. That was nice. I have not noticed any major changes yet but he said that since my back is so messed up it will take a few weeks for me to notice a difference in how I feel. There is hope.....I hope. He has faith. I am ready to get to the point where he said that I would be giddy! It takes time and I have never been really good with the whole waiting game. But I am not going to stop going just yet. It does feel pretty amazing while I am in there. It is pretty relaxing. I could really get used to going twice a week for about 45 minutes just for the quite time that I get. I am not used to that business. I am enjoying it..

After my appointment I headed to get my baby girl and then we headed to the soft ball field to watch Makayla (my neice) play. They did not play so hot at first but finally they got it together and looked like pros out there. Makayla got a home run! It was so freaking great. She was so damn excited and so were we! We were all going crazy! So proud of her!!! They ended up losing the game but it was still a great game.

Well it is time to turn on the Rangers game. :) I hope that they win tonight like they did last night!! Good stuff!

Yaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy, for tomorrow being Friday!!!

Random Thoughts

~ Hope my friend is feeling better she was sick today:(

~ Time is going by too fast for me when it come to my baby girl growing up but too slow when it comes to being Friday!

~ I am not sure what it is about watching a good UFC fight that just makes me feel better! Hot guys....fighting...sweating...bleeding..if it is a good fight! I just love it!

~ The Rangers seem to be in a funk like me, they really need to figure something out! I am hoping tonight they kick some ass!

~ I think that my two most favorite places to relax are my Moms back patio and my laundry room..alone.

~ I am planning out my next tattoo, it won't be too much longer and I can't wait!

~ My favorite part of the day is laying in bed with my baby girl and talking to her about her day. She is always full of stories...she cracks me up.

Seem to being feeling a little better about things today. Looking forward to my chiropractor appointment today. Ready to see what I have going on and get it fixed. He seems to think that he can hook me up and make me feel better. I hope so! He told me brother yesterday that by the time he got finished with me I would be "giddy" because I would feel so much better. I am not sure about the giddy part but we will see.
Easy and smooth day at work today. Just waiting on 430 so that I can get the heck outta dodge! I am always counting down the day while at work!
Have a good Tuesday!!

Cut Short

Well as I said yesterday, I had planned on being Miss Positive.....yea didn't last very long. I think that the plan was all wrong. You should not start things on Mondays! Mondays are bad enough within their selves let alone having to try to accomplish something else. Today was a big fail on the positivity business! Oh well. No biggie. I am over it.

Time..how much time does it take?? That is the question that a lot of people seem be asking lately. There is no answer for that. Time will never make you stop missing them.

I think about you during the day. I dream about you at night. Your always on my mind. I feel consumed. Can't focus. Running in the woods and getting no where. I know that there is an end but it is just not in my sight. I will always fight for you. This is a fight I will not give up. I never gave up on you before and I will not now! There is always hope! I believed in you! I believe in you now! Everlasting love.

End to the weekend...

This is the part of the weekend I hate the most....the ending!

Preparing for another work week and not excited about it.

Laying in the bed with my sweet baby girl watching cartoons before lights out. If I have to end this weekend..this is how I want to do it. :)

So I have mentioned that the past few weeks I have been in a funk and really I am not sure that I am over it yet. My plan for this week is to start it on a positive note and hope that it continues for a few days. Ad I said hope. My attitude has been pretty much no good so I have got to try and get back on the right track. It is nuts what a rush of emotions will do to you. It has for sure got me all outta wack!

Go back to the Dr tomorrow for them to check my blood pressure. I have been on a blood pressure med for two weeks and it really seems to be helping and I am very excited about it. Now if he could only give me a pill to "de funk" me!!!!;)

Sunday Goodness

I loved waking up this morning at 5 to the lightening, thunder and rain! It was wonderful. I looked up the radar on the IPad and then went back to sleep. For some reason when it is raining I sleep so much better! Ended up sleeping till about 10:30! That was very nice. Not very often that Abby sleeps in that late. So it was a very nice start to my Sunday!!

Busted ass yesterday after we got home from A wedding and cleaned this house from top to bottom! I was freaking worn out by the time that I got it all done. I am still working on all the laundry. Just a few more loads and I will be all done. :) In between loads I am laying in the bed watching the Ranger game. This is the best lazy day I have had in a while and I am loving every bit of it!

Got to see my Dad yesterday. It has been forever since we have got to see him so it was good to see him. He brought Abby her Easter stuff and she was loving that. I have not seem him since before my birthday and he was asking me what I wanted for my B-day and I told him that I wanted tickets to to a Ranger game. So he told me to pick out what game I wanted to go to and he would take care of it! I am so excited. I have never been to a MLB game before! I cant wait! Not sure if I am going to see if my hubby wants to go or someone else! He is not much of a baseball fan. So I guess I will have to see what he thinks about it! And I need to get busy deciding what game I want to go to!:)

Back to work in the am, not really excited about it. This has been a. Nice weekend and I have enjoyed it very much. I just wish that it did not have to come to an end.
