Seasonal mama

We have a new baby here in our little family.  He is a little boy.  Cute as a button.  Prefers to be held than laid down.  Spoiled rotten already.  Give up?  Hubby bought me a Yorkshire Terrier for mothers day, my birthday and anniversary.  I have wanted one for a while and I guess he got sick of being pestered about it.  He is 8 weeks old and so sweet that it’s just not even right.  Hubby is even in love with him!  That just doesn’t happen folks!  Our poodle isn’t very fond of him but that will take time.  I’ll try and get a picture of him to post soon.  I hope that everyone is doing well.  We are here.  My throat hurts but I refuse to get sick.  Soccer season starts up soon for the boy so he is on his head ready to play.  He also has T-Ball coming up.  Daughter decided that she wants to play tennis.  We don’t have a tennis team at her school but the high school does.  I happen to have a pretty good contact there so we are checking into it.  She will probably be allowed to play but needs private lessons.  So, between soccer, baseball, tennis, drama club, and everything else I am going to be hopping!  My arm is doing ok, I go back Friday for more x-rays and a checkup.  I will keep you updated!  Have a good week everyone!

Where has the time gone?  Twelve years ago I was oblivious to the life changing things that were about to happen to me.  The labor, the birth, the NICU, the diapers, the crying, and most of all, the disappearance of time.  My baby girl is turning 12.  I’m not happy.  She is in middle school.  I’m not happy.  She likes boys.  I HATE THIS.  Puberty is in full swing.  I can deal with this.  Most of all, I want my baby back.  The little girl who doesn’t kill with her evil glare.  Who doesn’t bite your head off for asking how her day was.  She isn’t on an emotional roller coaster.  That ride done jumped the tracks and is hurtling through space bouncing off every meteor and satellite it comes in contact with.  I can deal with all of that.  I just want to hold her in my arms one more time.  I want to wrap her in a blanket, sit on the porch swing and sing the night away.  I miss the baby years.  Sometimes I don’t know who my child is anymore.  She hates me.  I’m quite sure of this fact.  Especially since she had our families pictures in her room, framed.  Mysteriously, mine got taken out and now there is an empty frame where my picture was.  Sitting beside a picture of her dad and her brother.  Hmph.  I miss the baby steps, the baby smells, the baby problems.  You know, kissing boo boos, finding a cartoon that you can bear to watch.  Now, I have to watch the best I can for everything and pray that God takes care of her when I’m not there.  Soon, she will be driving.  She won’t be here.  Literally.  I will be in this house and she will be gone.  Whenever she wants.  Wherever she wants.  On her own accord.  I miss my baby.  Where has the time gone?

I have recently gotten hooked on Youtube.  I mean tonight.  That recent.  I wanted to put some videos up of music that I like but then I thought, well, what would people think of me?  Now, I normally don’t care but for some reason, I did.  Then, I decided that if you don’t like me because of my taste in music, then you aren’t my friend anyway.  You see, I like all kinds of music, hip hop, pop, country, rap, heavy metal, classical, blues, swing, oldies, but my all time favorite is big hair, heavy metal, 80’s music.  Yep. I love Cinderella, Whitesnake, Guns N Roses, AC/DC, Skid Row.  The list goes on and on.  So, I will put a title of Not for kids on the top of the ones that I wouldn’t let my daughter see to warn you.  Now, I don’t like anything very bad at all, but I also try to keep my daughter sheltered as much as possible.  So if you want to try some of my style music, sit back and ROCK ON!!!!

I am so glad that you gals have been praying for me, I can honestly say that I knew both of you would.  I think that in times of need, we are blessed if we have strong, praying people in our lives to uplift us in prayers.  Thank you both from the bottom of my heart.

We had chicken cacciatore for dinner tonight with pasta.  It was yummy.  I think that is in my top 5 of favorite dishes.  Favorite desserts vary with the season, however, I love fresh fruit!

I am ready for summer.  We haven’t had a good winter because the temps are mainly warm, snows are few and not very heavy at all.  So, I am ready to play outside.  I am thinking of having a butterfly garden this year in a corner of the yard.  I ordered all of the flower magazines I could find online.  I should get my brace off in time to enjoy the summer.  As long as I don’t break it again.  You are at a greater risk within the first year of breaking the bone again than any other time.  We were planning on going back to Disney this year, but I don’t know if we will now.  I would be perfectly fine with not riding anything but hubby didn’t want to go unless I could ride also.  We may be waiting until next year to go back.  That is such a wonderful place that I would live there when hubby retires!

I forgot to tell you that I can take my brace off to bathe.  It feels really good when you first take it off because you can scratch the itchies.  The longer it is off, the more it hurts though.  But boy does it feel good to scratch!  I have bumped my arm several times today so it is hurting more than it has in a few days at least.  Hopefully a good nights rest will cure it.  Until next time, as Paula Deen says, Best dishes from my kitchen to yours!

I wonder if I still have any readers?  I hope so, therefore, I am updating.  Things are going well with my arm.  I didn’t use it enough, so I don’t have use of it but I am working on that.  It hurts to move it very much, but as the old saying goes, no pain, no gain.  Hubby is still having to stay home because I can’t take care of the kids and myself.  He has been really great about it all.  I should have about 13 more weeks of the brace to go.  That sounds like so much when you say it, but at the same time, these past 5 weeks have flown by.  I am still having to sleep on the couch because the muscles don’t have movement, therefore, it hurts to lay in the bed.  I haven’t taken any pain medicine in a while so that is good.  I am able to lay my wrist on the computer table and use my left hand to type.  Woo hoo!  The kids are rotten as ever, that is good.  We have had alot of rain, temperatures in the 60’s, how weird!  I must say that it felt good though.  Well, that is enough for now.  Catch ya later!
