Blahhhhh

So work is really dragging by today. I think it is because I am so ready to get home and get my damn house clean. I have not felt like doing anything at all this week and if you look at my house you can tell. :( So I am really hoping that I get in the cleaning mood sometime tonight. I think tonight at 7 we are going to the Christmas Parade in town. Not really sure if it will be a good time or not but I guess that we will check it out and see. I am really not feeling to great today. I had flippin cramps all night last night. Yes I know TMI. But really I was almost in tears. And no I am not a baby ass that can't handle some pain either. Haha. Oh and when I get off work today I have to go shopping for my brothers b-day gift. I hate going places after I get off work. I just like to go pick up the little one and head to the house. But I am gonna suck it up and go out there with all the crazies. I still have some Christmas shopping to do and I am really not looking forward to it at all. I have to get Abby a few more things, not sure what but I have to figure something out and pretty quick. Next week at work we are doing a secret Santa thing where everyday of the week you bring a little gift for your person. And well, I have to buy all that business this weekend too. I really hate waiting until the last minute to get these things done. And I am tired of stressing over it all. So my plan is to get it all done this weekend and not have to worry with any of it again. Hehe. Yea right, like that will happen. But I really am going to try my best to get as much as I can done. I really hope that I start feeling better so that I can at least try and get a few things done.

Movie Time

I just now watched Eclipse. OMG!!!! I freaking loved it. So now I think that I will have to watch all of them all over this weekend. And I am thinking that I am going to reread the books too. I can't wait for the next movies to come out. Good Stuff all around. Man I really had forgotten about all the hotties in Twilight.  :) That makes me enjoy them even more.

Can I be her just one time??

Ok can I be her just 2 times?:)





YUM!



Can I lick him??

I can't forget him!!

Holy Goodness........;)

Hottie!

Well it is time for bed. Actually it is was past my bed time. I am usually in bed with the chickens. Not tonight tho! I had to watch it.

Oh Yea one more thing I am SOOOOO happy that tomorrow is Friday. Hope that everyone has a wonderful day!!

Hump Day :)

I am glad that I only have two days left in this week. I am ready for the weekend. I think that I say that several times a week. I live for the weekends. I am sure that everyone who is luck enough not to have to work on the weekends thinks the same way.

Got off work about an hour early today and I love that. Went to get my baby girl at my Mommas house and stayed out there for supper since the hubby was working late. We just got home a little bit ago and I am really really excited about spring break. My Step Dad and I got all the info about the vacation that we are taking. :) We were planning on going to Jamaica but since we waited a little bit too late to schedule it they are all booked up on spring break so we have decided to go to Antigua!! I am so excited. It looks so beautiful. I can't wait. The fact that I will be on a beautiful beach with all the free drinks possible makes freak just a little. F.U.N!!!! That is all I can think about. Justin is not going with us because he is scared of flying. :( So Abby and I will be going with my Mom, Step Dad and brothers. So I think that I may just have to P.A.R.T.Y with my lil bros. :) Well I just got of the phone with my Step Dad and he said that he is going to go and set it all up tomorrow. Wow. I am so pumped. I have not been anywhere. And I am being serious. I have been no where. So I am ready to have some fun and see some new sights. I am ready for work in the morning so that I can put in my request to be off for a week!!!I hope that no one else has put in for that time off. That would really suck. But I am sure that it will all work out.

I can't wait to have pictures like these of my own!! Abby and I are going to have a blast. It is now time to save money and I will be on the count down to spring break!!!

A Little of This and a Little of That

• First Happy Birthday to my wonderful Baby Brother, Dalten!!!! I love you so much. Dalten turned the big 1 8 today. I am so happy that he is not doing the things that I was at 18!! Thank the Lord for that. I am sure that my Mom is more happy about that than I am!!:) Man I am feeling a bit old today. I have always said that age was just a number and did not mean a thing but I am starting to think that the reason I said that was because I was young. I am only 27 years old and yes I said only...I will be 28 in March and for some reason I thought that I was 26 fixing to be 27. So I am a little disappointed about that. So I really may end up being that girl that has a really hard time with age...I guess only time will tell.
• I have been in a funk this week and I could have possibly been in one last week as well(some may say) Thanks for that Steph. :) Anywho, I am not sure what the deal is. I guess is could be just the normal stress that comes along with the holidays. I wish that is was not so stressful. I love this time of year. Well I think I do. I really don't act like I do. Hell I really don't know anymore. I do know that I don't' like worrying about what gifts to get for certain peeps, that shit wears me out. And I know that it is the thought that counts and that is how I think and believe but you know as well as I do that there are people out there that will bitch and moan about the gift that they received. So RUDE!!! I think that the true meaning of Christmas is so lost in all this money and gift shit. I think that the gifts should just really be for the kids. Santa...for the kids. I just want to make sure that the kiddos have a wonderful Christmas, that is all that matters to me. I will say that I may go a little overboard with buying Abby gifts, but she is my one and only and that is what is most important to me. I mean it is wonderful getting gifts for Christmas as an adult but really I don't feel it is something that HAS to be done. That is just how I feel about it. :) Take it or leave it.
• So I think I got of track a bit with that...Yes I am in a funk and I think that it is a combination of many things. I just hope and pray that it does not stick around for very much longer. Sorry to my co-workers for not being myself the past week...or two(some would say) hehehe. I am going to try and work on this funk and nip it in the bud. Haha. Every time I say or hear that saying I think of marijuana. Yea I know that is random. And probably not a good thing. But really if you want to take care of business, you want to nip it in the BUD!!
• Question.....Why do employers not believe in Christmas bonuses??? That really just amazes me. You would think that most all employers would want to give something to their employees for working hard all year long. Something just to say Merry Christmas!
• Question....Would you rather your employer put together a Christmas party or give a bonus??? I am just curious!:)
• Question....Does your employer give a bonus or Christmas party or both??? I am taking a little personal poll here. :) Thanks.

MONDAY....
Just kinda a blah day today. Work was work and Abby and I have been hanging out together this evening. Justin is working late tonight, which is not that bad since Christmas is right around the corner.:) I am sure that he is tired and ready to be home tho.
I can't believe Christmas is almost here. Wow time has just flown by. I wish the work weeks went by that fast!
Speaking of flying by, did we even have a weekend??? I had planned on getting so many thingsdone this weekend and I did not get anything done. Saturday I think we only left the house one time. My allergies were killing me so I just laid around all day! And thank goodness Abby was game for laying around with me. I think she was still not up to par from being sick last week. I think we are both on the road to recovery!!:)
Hope this week goes by as fast as the weekend did!!

Time to blog??? Why yes, I think I will.

Wow. It has really been forever. I have just been so busy I have not had time to do anything and really I have not felt like doing anything. This week was really long and I was home with a sick lil girl on Monday. :( She is feeling better but still not up to par. And how about some good news for my Friday....Now I am sick and feel like poop. I was feeling pretty bad on Monday and then I was feeling better through the week and of course now that it is Friday I am going to be freaking SICK!! Blahhh. I hate being sick. I have so many things to do around the house this weekend. I really don't have time for all this sickness. But when you are a Mother you don't get sick days. For some unknown reasons the Dads always seem to get one when they are sick. Man that is so not fair. I need to be in my warm bed with lots of good movies, some tissue and lots and lots of medication!! But at the moment I am awake with my daughter and my husband is in bed asleep. Something is not adding up correctly. Ok I vented enough about all that. :)

Thanksgiving was wonderful. We went to my Dad's house for lunch that day and visited for a while and ate some great food then we went to my Memaw's house. I absolutely love going to my Memaw's house! I just love being out in the country with no one around or miles and miles, it's like I don't have a care in the world for the time that I am out there. I am such a country girl at heart. I would love nothing more than to live in the country on a farm!!! That would be so wonderful. Maybe some day I will be able to have that. :) I love the simple things. It's make life so much easier that way.  Back to Thanksgiving...All my fam was there and we had the best time together. I love when we all get together. Abby loves getting to spend time with everyone and she is always the center of attention...and she likes it just a little bit. I have the best family in the whole world. I am not kidding. I just love each and everyone of them so much.  I can't wait till Christmas! It is almost here and Abby and I are both more than ready. Well I still have some shopping to do but other than that I am ready. :)

So I have been reading a book that my friend Stephanie let me borrow and I just can't stop thinking about it!!

I am almost finished with it. I just love it. This is a great book for anyone to ready. It is really inspirational!! Last night after Abby and Justin were asleep, I was laying in bed ready and just balling my eyes out. :( It just really makes you think about things in your life and what is most important to you. I suggest that you ready this if you have not. I am not a reader at all and I will read this again!! Good stuff.  I think that I am fixing to crawl into bed and get all cozy and finish it now.

Thank God This Is A Short Week

I woke up this morning ready to take on this day and the rest of my work week but it did not take long for me to change my mind about all of that. :( I still can't really put my finger on what made my day so damn crazy but it was and I am glad that I am at home relaxing. :) I hope that tomorrow is a better and less crazy day. I guess because it is a short work week for me, I have more to do. I am not sure but I am ready to do it and get it all over with. I am ready to see my fam, eat good food and watch some great football!!

I just seen the greatest thing ever. I want this!!! This is so me. And I would love a purse like this as well. Thanks to Micaela for posting this link on your blog. I love it. I think that I will end up having to buy that for myself!! Other than that there are some other really cute things.

I think that I am in need of some alone time!!! Seriously. I am going a little crazy. I need a glass, ok maybe a bottle of wine and a hot bath with no baby girl and no husband!!!! Is that really too much to ask for??? I think that I deserve a night alone. Man that would be so wonderful. I guess that I will have to talk to my Mom and see what I can do!! Anyone have any suggestions on some good wine?? Let me know!! And I will go and buy a case of two!!! :)

As I was looking through pics that had to do with wine and bubble baths I found this cute one and thought that I would share it too!!



So I was just looking at ways to relax at home and found a few things that I thought that I would share. And maybe I will have time to try a few out.....I hope.

Keep a daily journal. Journaling has long been a way for people to "dump" their problems. It doesn't have to be anything fancy. Just grab a notebook and start writing. Taking ten or fifteen minutes at the end of the day to write out your thoughts can be helpful in releasing stress you'd ordinarily keep pent up inside.

I do that on here. Not everyday but almost. And it is nice just to sit and type. But I think that I need more. And really there is only so much that you want any and everyone to know. :) And who wants to read all about Debbie Downer??
 
Painting is a great way to relax. Watercolors are especially recommended because there is no "right" way to use them. Allow your mind to relax as you move the brush over the paper and paint away your stress. Think and paint like a child, by letting the colors flow and mix together.


I don't really think that I am very creative and I am not sure how well this would work relaxing me with my 4 year old around. Hehe.

Escape into a different world with a good book. The fictional world can be a great way to escape from the pressures of motherhood for half an hour or so.

I have never been much of a reader until Steph turned me on to Twilight and I feel in love. I think that I was more relaxed while reading all the books. I will just have find something that I can get into!

Lavender, vanilla, sandalwood and spearmint are soothing scents to look for when purchasing special candles. The simple act of lighting a candle creates a soothing environment for you to relax in.


I am surprised not to see Xanax on this list!:) Hehe. That is what I tend to use when I am all stressed out and can't relax. ;)

Now that I am all educated on how to relax at home, I guess that I will go and clean up and see what my baby girl is getting into. She can't sit still for five minutes. And she is being very quite at the moment and no good ever comes form that. Wish me luck!!
