Loss of someone close (old from myspace)

Loss of someone close -

t's never fun to think about the mortality of someone you love and share your life with. Today I was smacked in the face with it. I knew marrying Timothy meant that I would probably be faced with many life changing decisions. It was something that made me wonder if loving someone was worth the risk of losing them. I made the choice to love him dispite his health risks and I have tried hard to make his life full. When he woke me up this morning and told me that he had another blood clot and needed to go talk to the doctor I was blown over. I was mad because he didn't take his medicine like he was supposed to or made out a will or any of that other "dying" stuff. More than that though I was scared. Scared that I would not have many more chances to tell my husband what he had ment to me. Scared that we'd never be old toghther. Scared that he'd never get the chance to see our daughters have children. Yesterday we had a great day but it could have been one of the last days I sat on the coutch talking to him about all the crazy things we did while he was at work. I relized that I need to tell him I love him and how much he has changed my life all the time everyday. Timothy is my world, He saved me. When people say live everyday like it is the last. It's from experiance. You never know when you'll be able to tell your loved one you love them again. Say it often and with feeling.

Chickens with their head's cut off!!

We went to Nana's house today to celebrate the birthday of one of the girl's Aunts. It was a blast.  It was such a nice day that I talked the girls into going bike riding in front of Nana's house. By the way I have fallen in love with Grumpa's bike it was a Electra Townie. Since i finsihed growing and developed knee problems I haven't been able to ride bikes but let me tell you I found a bike that was MADE for me. now to just convince Tim I need a 1,000 bike! Not gonna happen but I can dream right? Anyways after the girls got bored i suggested that we teach Nanna and our Aunt how to play Chicken in the middle. We had so much fun!! We made a new rule that you have to dance like a chicken when you get stuck in the middle. It added a whole new element of fun and laughter to the nonsisical game that is Chicken In The Middle. We were so loud laughing and joking with one another that Grumpa even came out to see what was going on. Auntie's BF came and ate dinner with us and Tim and I enjoyed watching him get grilled by Grumpa and tortured by the girls. So far he's taking it well.. we'll will just have to see where his intentions lay. But it was a great day and a good start to the week!

Craft fairs and wisescrappers

So this has been a CRAZY week! The WHO club had their 1st Craft fair and my boss went out of town for the weekend. Whoo!! So since Thursday I have been headed to the Church to help set up for the craft fair then off to work at the Shop. Full and busy days but FULL! People at the shop are starting to get used to me being there and well maybe i'm getting used to everything and loosining up a bit. Which ever it is people that come in are sticking around and visiting.  I am having even more of a blast. I've been working on these homemade Christmas Orniamanets and having a blast doing it. I also have an idea for a star ornimant. I'm soo excited. It is so hard from me to stay OUT of the shop! hahah. Anyways I have been working full time the past few days and my house REALLY shows it... So i suppose I ought to clean house this week and get it back to where I want it to be cause goodness only knows Tim might be a great husband and father but he is a BAD housekeeper :) but that is another vent for another day! Have a Blessed Sunday! ROLL TIDE!

Bike rides, babies, and books

Yesterday babygirl and I got a little restless to get out in the beautiful day and have a picnic. So I got the bright idea to load up her trike and her baby (the puppy Indiana) and a picnic lunch and head to the walking park that we frequent in the spring and fall. Once the weather is just perfect. We drove around the corner and oh my goodness they have changed our simple little creek walk into a park!! There was a playground, picnic shelters and frisbee golf it was amazing! I couldn't have been more than 3 months since we had been there!! Well babygirl was sooo excited that she could actually ride her bike here like a big girl and went zooming off to our favorite spot. It's right by the creek in an area where the water is just shallow enough to wade and look for frogs and minnows. She would ride a little then call to her baby to come and run beside her. Indiana who has never been for a walk in the park before was just as excited as babygirl all the new sights and sounds!! She had to stop and smell them all. We got to our spot first thing babygirl did was take off her shoes and call Indiana to come wading with her. they splashed and threw rocks and explored...in the areas mommy hoped wouldn't have snakes. Once they got bored we sat down and started eatting our special lunch. Babygirl decided to share some of her's with Indie (who looked hungry) and she broke off a peice.. well indie being a dog took half her sandwhich instead. babygirl fell over laughing. It was a great time. Soon it was over and we had to go to the book fair at Sister's school. We drop baby off back at the house and turned around to head for the school. We sign in and head into the library as we look around I see a few familar OLDER faces and realize we are there the sam time Eldest's class!! I whisper to babygirl that this was sissy's class go see if you can find her. Eldest was leaning down helping a friend find a book..babygirl walked very quietly and stood beside her waiting to be noticed. Eldest looked down then got this confused look on her face as to say who are you then she realised it was her sister and she said where is mommy and started looking around laughing. It was great! We all got a ton of new books which are always an awesome thing.Sometimes its hard to remember that its the little things that make us the happiest.

THE dream

The other morning Tim and I get up and see some sheets piled in the hallway in front of the girls bedroom. We just kind of discounted it never knowing why they do the things they do. Later that evening we tell the girls they need to pick them up and either fold them and put them in their room or the laundry room if they are dirty. Well one of our potty trained daughters says they are pee-pee sheets, She had an accident the night before. Tim and I sent the other girls to thier room to talk to this one. We ask why she didn't get up if she needed to go potty. Well she gets her story face on and starts with well I was sleeping and I had this dream... Tim and I CRACK up laughing and say okay no need to go on we know where this is going. She looks at us funny and we assure her that EVERONE has had that dream at least once in thier lives. We have ALL been suckered by that one before. Not to worry just remember if at any point in a dream you see a potty WAKE UP!! Poor child. But i think we have all been there before. mortaly embarrased by that stupid dream.

The tooth fairy mishap

I think I mentioned a few days ago that Eldest lost her 1st molar . Well I'll just re tell the story since I have discovered new info that REALLY caps the whole thing off. Last Wednesday I was at the school hanging out talking to other moms about the field trip when Eldest came giggling out of the nurses office and ran smack into me we both laughed and she told me she lost her tooth finally. Fast Foward to later that night... the girls are all tucked up in their beds and I remind the Tooth Fairy not to fall asleep on the couch before making the swap.  I went to bed and read for a bit then got up and reminded the Tooth Fairy again not to fall asleep. Morning comes Tim ran out the door because he was running late..seems he fell asleep in his chair playing TRAVIAN and woke up late. While Im getting the girls ready for school I ask Eldest how much money the Tooth Fairy left her. She looks up at me and says "well I think the Tooth Fairy went to mommy's house by mistake since I lost almost all my other teeth over at her house."CRAP. I just smile and say i bet you're right i'll call her today to check and she can leave a note for the Tooth Fairy. After I get to work I call Eldest's mother and explain what happened. She just laughs knowing that this particular Tooth Fairy has a tendecy to fall asleep at the drop of a hat. She promices to call Eldest and let her know the Tooth Fairy did indeed come to her house and she will let the Tooth Fairy know she made a mistake. Later that night I made sure the Tooth Fairy placed the money and took the tooth. As far as I knew everything was over until a few days later when I asked Eldest what happened with the Tooth Fairy and if she ever came. Apparently that night when daddy was "checking" on the girls Eldest woke up while he was in the room. He asked her if the Tooth Fairy had come (now you have to realize Eldest is a little like her daddy and has a tendency to sleep walk) she looked under her pillow found the money and quickly hid it in her secrect hiding place so her sisters would not find her money. Then when she woke up the next morning She not remembering ANY OF THIS came out of the girls room very upset that the Tooth Fairy took her tooth but didn't leave her any money!! He looked at her and started laughing and told her that she had hid the money in her secrect hiding place go check in there. She runs back and checks finding her money. She finally remembered getting up and hiding it. Gotta love kids :))

Everyone has a Monday

Your precious angels arn't fighting, they are fed or in the process of eatting, getting dressed or in the process of, lunches were assembled all is well with the world. I was so joyful!! Babygirl and I decided to run our errands early so we could have more time to spend together cleaning the house and playing. Things were going well Walmart wasn't very crowded our favorite lady was in the fabric section. We tried to stop by the Thrift Shop but it wasnt open for another 30 min... to short a time to go home to long to sit and wait.... well I guess I can drive around maybe get some gas. Okay drive around and wait... it finally opens we look around.. they don't have any pants in little girl sizes.. dang it!!! However we did find some other clothes that we needed like some cute little sweaters and some dress-up clothes.SCORE!!!! We run to Home Depot and discover the most AWESOME chirstmas hat EVER!!
