Roll in the Cuteness!

I have a cute boy and he is loved soooooooo loved even in his short 4 months of life.

Blessings

I have many blessings in my life and was feeling very blessed today when my Father took my son into his arms..... gave him his name and a beautiful blessing, while the other blessings in my life sat around me and watched.

Our little man all ready to get blessed!

3 Months

Here are a few cute pics of my boy now that he's 3 months... Yes I used on in the header it was just SOOOOOO cute

Running on......

NOthing,

Where does my time go and how do I handle it? I have no idea but man, oh man is it catching up with me!

Since Shea started school I have been under sleep deprivation. I know you all are thinking well yea you have a 3 months old... I was handling the lack of sleep semi-well until this whole school thing started.

Because of the feeding schedule I have gone back to work at nights, because I can't leave the house before Kevin gets home I always close (11pm-1am depending). Then comes the last feeding of the night and calming the baby to sleep (hopefully for 5 to 6 hours). After that I crash so hard into that pillow I can't remember if I kissed Kevin goodnight. Too late to think about that cause I'm dead to the world until 530am when the baby is up ready to eat. Oh but don't get to relaxed Ang cause 745am you have to drag a very sleepy 5 year old out of bed for school (She used to sleep til 9). Don't forget to make her lunch, pack her backpack, do her hair, and get her in the driveway for her Dad to get at 8:25.

Now comes the jealousy part... Seeing mommy's out for dinner in their mommy groups, hearing about book clubs (I used to have time to read). Hearing about family dinners, and seeing couples on tv talking in bed and kissing goodnight. (we used to do that!)

P.s.....

Here's the run down

530am feed baby boy

730am get up and start making lunch

745am get Shea out of bed (or should I say drag)

825am get Shea to school... run back up stair and feed the baby.

900am dress, feed, and play with the 3 year old who is missing her sister like crazy

SOMETIME between feedings and showing Ava attention I must shower and be ready for pick up and work.

1245pm pick Shea up from school

GET those errands done (but be home to give the baby a nap and yes feed him again)

500pm fix the girls dinner, lay out pj's, and make a bottle

530pm Go to work and serve everyone else (but don't expect more than 10% people tip like crap in this recession)

Work til..... 11ish

12am change diaper, feed baby, clean bottles, get baby asleep, bush teeth, put on sleep ware, and the Crash finally comes at about 2am...... start it over at 530 or 6 if I'm really lucky.

Sorry for the rant I'm sure all of you are just as tired and are thinking Whah Whah stop crying about it and get on with your day!

School on the Brain

Warning: I've got school on the brain and so it will be invading my blog now

We went to the school tonight to meet the teacher and see Shea's new classroom. Very odd there's another girl in her class with the same name, however it's spelled like I've never seen before Shae (no I'm not dyslexic that's how's it's spelled).
Also I'm freaking out a little about a boy in the class named Phoenix who is built like a football player, a head taller than all the kids (seriously he looks 7), has a Mohawk (not a big deal so does Kevin), and has both ears pierced with gaged hoops! I feel a bit like he's the classic movie bully (O'Doyal RULES!)

Anyway that's my rant. I'll know more after Thursday when Shea has her first day..... wish me luck I have butterfly's in my tummy (and have since 4pm today).

Day at "The Garden"

My amazing sis-in-law Shannon took us to "The Garden" today.
It's a big garden for kids were they get to water plants and enjoy what mother nature has to offer.

There was a Coi pond

and lil garden play house

Big sun Flower maze

And lil garden boxes marked things lil "pizza garden" with all the veggies to make pizza and a "butterfly garden" with flowers that were swarming with butterfly's. We had a great time.

Thanks Shannon, Kendyl, Adalyn, and Virginia for a great day!!
