Back from Vacation

Well we have reached that sad time when vacation is over and we get back to reality. I was ready for it. The baby was good but had her moments and it’s hard dealing with a squirming baby (especially when it rains lol). But we had a real good time. Much needed I say.

Friday we just stayed at the hotel and it was alot of fun. So much to do and its always fun staying on Disney property. Saturday we went to Animal Kingdom where it was sooooooo hot and there were soooooo many people. We didn’t get to go on much and while in a show it started to storm so when we got out it was pouring. That pretty much decided that we were going back to the hotel.

That night Rob and I took the kids to a fancy restaurant for our Anniversary dinner. Best food I have had in a long time (well, besides Rob’s steaks & chicken) and it was a very enjoyable experience. The baby was good and the other two kids didn’t fight. The waiter was on top of the ball and very friendly. Overall a very nice time. Very relaxed now. Back to reality……

Now we have to buckle down and get going. We will be moving August 1st so I need to get on the ball here and get packing. And have Big A & Little A’s birthday parties in the middle. Oh well I can do it I am super mom right?!?

Anyway I am back and will be popping on here and there regularly again. Need to finish SYTYCD on the DVR so will post that tomorrow. 

 

Vacation & 10 Wonderful Years

I feel like a little kid right now. Tomorrow we go on our mini vacation to Disney. I always get excited going to Disney for a couple of reasons.

1- I feel the magic every time I go to any of their parks. I get those butterfly feelings in my stomach that tend to make me revert back to being a kid.

2- I love seeing all that magic through my children’s eyes. Little A will be seeing this for the first time and she has such a personality now that I am excited to see how she is going to react. She flips out when watching The Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and sees Mickey on the TV, so I can’t wait to see what happens in real life

So on our mini vacation Rob & I will hit our 10 year Anniversary. In hitting that mark I am reflecting on what a good man my hubby is. I made a perfect choice in him and he has given me the one thing that means the most to me and that is a family. My husband and my kids are my life and I love them all greatly!!!!!!!!! So here’s to relaxing and enjoying ourselves and our kids and here’s to 10 wonderful, magical years married to my best friend. 

 

Wow life can come at you fast……

Yesterday started out normal, well normal if you consider a baby waking you at 3am and not going back to sleep, normal for me. My sister usually calls everyday at 8am but my phone rang at 7:15. Turns out she was in the hospital and needed me to watch her babies so she could have surgery for a ruptured hernia. Well duh! I can watch your kids.

So I had a mini day care going here yesterday. My 3 and her 2, what a mad house. But I made it through with little more than a headache and thankfully my sister is gonna be ok.

But it made me stop and think. Life can really throw you for a loop sometimes. I mean you sit here and think of all the things you need to accomplish in a day and when something happens it all comes to a screeching halt. I for one really wish we didn’t have to pack our days full of things that need to get done, when you do life passes you by.

Ok enough of my ramblings. A saying I saw awhile ago is perfect for now. It is:

Your alive…… so live.

 

Time flies by……..

Wow, as I sit here I am hit with the fact that my kids are really growing up and they seem to be going at light speed. Almost a year ago I had my Little A and it seems just like yesterday (heck my back still hurts like it was yesterday lol). My Big A will be turning 9 and it seems like just yesterday she was running around at the age of 2 asking for me to turn the light "on-on".

But the realization that really takes the cake is my son. My 15 year old son who just passed his driver’s test for his permit. I was so proud of him and at the same time I am petrified. Where did all this time go? I am amazed at what we have all be through and we all came out ok.

It’s times like these that I can’t help but sit back and reflect on the good parenting job Rob & I have done. And it hasn’t been easy, but I am happy, very happy. I love my kids, I love my husband and all is right with the world. 

 

A Little Better

Well that flu really sucked. I feel a little better (knock wood) and I hope to get my energy back soon. At least my eyes don’t feel like they are on fire anymore. This bout was real bad and I wonder if it is like this across the country or if it is localized to Florida, alot of people I have talked to here say it’s been bad.

My daughters are still sick just not as bad as before. My son was lucky and only got a cough for a few days so I have been making him stay away from everyone else. It looks like we all will be better before our Anniversary vacation. (knock wood again)

So I am back with the blogging program now. Stay tuned……

 

Sick As A Dog

Ugh, I knew it was coming but I now have full blown what the kids have. I want to curl up in a little ball with the covers over my head and take my Nyquil and go to sleep, but I can’t. I have never felt this bad before (I probably say that every time I get sick which isn’t often) but my eyes feel like they are on fire. I have never felt that before. LOL

Will get back into the swing of posting more when I feel better. Now it’s off to the couch to listen to my daughter scream cause she isn’t feeling well. A mother’s work is never done…..

 

Ahhhh Saturdays…….

The only relaxing day in our household. We like to call it steak and wine night because we always have steak and we experiment with different wines to see what we like. But boy does it feel good to just kick back. Today is a little stressed as the baby isn’t feeling too well and for the last 3 days has run a small fever but at least she has been happy during the whole time. My foot is feeling a tad bit better as well so we are all looking forward to a nice quiet relaxing day (lol I say this as the baby starts to cry) I am off for the day hope you all have a relaxing day as well
