A Day In My Life...

2008-07-03T16:34:00.000-07:00

So...I thought I would share with you a "typical" day around here...just so you can get to know me.

I had a great agenda planned...work on my website all day in between every day Mommy life, send out a HUGE sale newsletter, place my bead order and work on my website again while the little "angel" slept. Well...as you can see from this picture he was obviously NOT taking a nap when I thought he was. What is that all over him you ask? Powder? NOPE! Lotion? NOPE! Flour? NOPE! It's diaper rash cream...and I mean the greasy kind, whole jar GONE. YEP...not a joy I tell ya.

Of course as any Mommy would I had to snap a few pictures to capture this "kodak moment". I threw him in the bath and scrubbed, scrubbed, and scrubbed....what did I end up with? One soft, greasy headed 2 year old that thinks it's hilarious!

So...being a WAHM is great, but there are also those days when you wish you worked OUTSIDE the home and left this kind of mess to a babysitter. LOL...

AND...notice the broken wood blind in the background? Yep...another day, another story.

Lots of new items coming...

2008-07-02T21:25:00.001-07:00

But, here is a favorite of mine. I soooooooo need a baby girl, she would be rotten I tell you! This bracelet is so girly and I just love the way it turned out. Of course it's named POSH PRINCESS, because every little girl needs something this precious. Pearls, crystal, silver...what is there not to love?

There are more though, lots of girls jewelry, some Mommy jewelry including engraved jewerly that you will absolutely LOVE!

Drop me a line and let me know what you think!

Happy Easter

2008-03-23T16:05:00.000-07:00

Hope all of you have a great Easter. I did! Today was also my Moms birthday so she was here with us for the weekend. G and L had a great time seeing what the Easter Bunny brought them and the egg hunt.............let's just say that poor L only had 3 eggs in his basket. Where were the rest you ask? Well, one guess....yep, in G's basket, it was overflowing! They had a great time putting all the change they collected from their eggs into the piggy bank. After that we ate breakfast, got ready and went to eat at Pappasito's for Moms birthday. It was great...not so great for the diet, but oh well...tomorrow is another day right? The boys saw the Easter Bunny there too, got MORE chocolate *yeah, they need that alright* and even took a picture with him and Mommy too. Why was I in the picture? Well...because L decided to be "velcro baby" and not leave my side. He was not scared of the bunny, went right up to him actually to grab a quick egg out of the basket, but when it came to the picture....he only wanted me.

All in all...a great relaxing day!

When it rains it pours...

2008-03-11T13:11:00.000-07:00

Ok...I mainly use this blog for "business" and fun freebies. Well, today I need to vent...my poor babies are so sick. The DRAMA started Friday when I went to G's *my oldest son* school to give him some medicine b/c he was having problems with his allergies/asthma. I walk into the cafeteria and he turns around to look at me and his right eye is full of nasty yellow/green gunk...OMG it's PINK EYE! So, I take him home and start him on antibiotics ASAP. Then he starts to get a fever, not just a little 99.5 fever, but it was over 103 and all he wanted was to go to sleep...and he did, after Tylenol of course.

Now it's Saturday...both kids are now running fever and G still has a nasty eye. Thankfully L *my youngest* doesn't have pink eye yet. So...we deal with the fevers all through the day and into the night. Meanwhile G's asthma is not too hot...so he is pumped full of steroids.

Sunday...G wanted to go fishing BAD and had been waiting all week. So...he goes and all hell breaks loose...he is stung by a wasp *he is allergic* and my husband doesn't have the epipen, but does have benadryl and gives him a dose...then come the ant bites...and worse yet, a tick on his "well you know". Pink eye has now started in the other eye and the asthma is still bad. BUT...after all that he caught a HUGE catfish and was so happy.......made it all worth it. L now mind you is still running fevers and has so much snot that I had to open another box of kleenex. BUT...no sign of pink eye.

Now yesterday...both boys have fevers, coughing and a sore throat! So I pack them in the car...drive to the doc *an hour away* while they poke a HUGE qtip down their throats to give me the news I already knew.....STREP, BOTH OF THEM! Nice....

So, they are on antibiotics and G continues having problems with asthma today. He has stayed home from school now 2 days and I am not too sure if he will be going tomorrow either. He has lost his voice *not such a bad thing* and L is getting that way.....you mean I am going to have some quiet??????

My husband and I have not slept in days...we are beat.

Thanks for the vent....back to your regularly scheduled program.......................LOL!

So...now that taxes are done and orders have slowed a bit, as they usually do this time of year, I can play on my blog. YAY!
