My first Award

Kristin from The Way it is gave me this friend award. This is my first award and I'm thrilled that she thought of me. Thank you Kristin!!! Your awesome!

"These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers. Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award."
So now I have to pick eight bloggers to give this award to....and I love each of them!
Vodka Mom

The Mommy
Jillene

Deb
Tonya

That was hard....I have a ton of other bloggy friends that I could have listed too... Ugh, now the guilt kicks in.

New Love in my life

My love for you grew quickly, almost too quickly but regardless it is real as any other love. When we first met I didn't believe you....you promised so much but I have been disappointed before and didn't want to let my guard down. Truthfully, I thought you were too extravagant for my taste. But now I am so glad I took a chance on you and now I am so satisfied....I honestly cannot put into words how happy you have made me.
If my house were on fire I would run back in to get you.....honestly. (Of course I would get my kids out first but your next!)

So now your all wondering what I feel so strongly about? Here it is....






Yes...I'm in love with a hairbrush. My old brush was so worn and melted that it just couldn't help me anymore. Yes, I said melted....from the hairdryer. I was trying to find a replacement but they don't make them anymore. The closest thing I found was this Revlon Silver lined brush. It was expensive and if it hadn't been on sale then I wouldn't have bought it. Anyway, back to the love.....I tried it today for the first time. I used it while drying my hair as usual and it gave me incredible results. It looks like I used a flat iron...no kidding. No frizzies, no waves, no nothing....just smooth hair. I would Hug and kiss this brush if I didn't think it would hurt.

My Christmas List

Just in Case Santa really is watching...I am posting my Christmas list.

The first thing I want is sleep....I want a completely quiet house until like 11am...seriously, just once or twice. Please.

Next on my list is a maid. And I dont want one to come just once but on a regular basis. Pretty please.

Third on my list is books....I have a long list of books I would love to have and to go along with those books I would like some quiet alone time. Thats right....I want the book and the time to read it too. Call me selfish.

Fourth is for Hubby and all my friends to read 3:16 by Max Lucado. Seriously...everyone NEEDS to read this book.

My next request is a simple one....

And lastly....what Domestic Goddess doesnt love jewelry. If Santa brought me this ring I would be such a good girl, I promise. Please dont make me beg...again. Santa...can you hear me??

Lazy

Well, today was another one of those typical days where I was busy all day and have nothing to show for it. Hubby still thinks I do nothing and let the boys run wild. OK, whatever....but here is what happened while I was being lazy today....

First some oven fairys came and made Shinky Dinks...isnt it amazing!


Then the paint fairys came and made some cute spin art pictures...and dont forget how those fairys scrubbed and cleaned the spin art machine squeeky clean afterwards.


And finally some cute little Elfs came by to make Christmas ornaments. Wow...that must have taken quite awhile...but I'm only speculating since I didnt really DO anything today.


But to give Hubby a little bit of credit he did call me from work earlier and said not to cook tonight. He found some McD's coupons and is treating us to dinner. I was thrilled! Not because we are eating McD's but because I dont have to cook or clean up.....you know, cause Im so tired from doing nothing all day.

Bad Timing

Just a little hint to any and all doctors who may stumble across my little blog. It is NEVER...I repeat NEVER, OK to wish a patient "Happy Birthday" when her legs are in stirrups and your head is lower than the sheet on her knees (if you know what I mean). That was the CREEPIEST thing that ever happen to me, seriously. Two things that I know now....I will never be able to bare all my girlie parts to another doctor without thinking of my Birthday and that I will never think of my Birthday without stirrups...How sad.




On another note....we had a nice time with C last night. We had chicken tacos for dinner and then ice cream cake, yum! You can see how he spent his birthday at his Dad's if you go here, this is C's step mom Tonya's blog. She is really cool and creative. And she takes awesome pictures :D

The pictures I posted are of our Christmas tree and train. We used to buy real trees every Christmas. I love real trees but when J was born we decided it was safer to have a small artifical tree that we could put higher up, so he couldnt pull it down. Now the little tree just works out because of the train table. Hopefully someday we will have a big, giant real tree again.

The Day After

Wow...Yesterday was incredible. From the homemade cards I got from the kids and Hubby, to Ice Cream at my mother-in-laws, to all the birthday wishes I got from my bloggy friends. We also got to decorate our Christmas tree which is always a special time. I have to say that it was one of the BEST and most special Birthdays I have ever had. Thank you again, for making my birthday wish come true!

Today is a happy/sad day for me because my oldest is turning 17 today. He will be getting his drivers license and begining a new chapter of his life. We are picking him up after school and bringing him here for dinner, gifts and ice cream cake. I still cant believe my first baby is getting so old.

On another note I have to tell you about the train. Yes, the train. My Hubby and kids are all train freaks. We spend vacations going to ride trains and look at trains. We have trains in every room....Thomas trains, train pillows, train ornament, train cups....you get the hint. But Christmas time takes it to new level. Hubby puts up the train table....and sets up one of the many train sets he has. I love to see how happy those trains make him and the boys. Seeing the joy in their faces is enough to make me forget the one thing I hate the most....listening to the trains on the track. It is the loudest, most annoying sound. You can't hear yourself think. So the entire month of December I will spend in a loud fog of train sounds. I really need to ask for ear plugs for my next birthday....just so I can prepare for the month long deafness that the train will bring.

I hope everyone has a great Monday!
