Hello World!

2011-02-14T19:13:00.004-05:00

Well long time no write...blog world. It has been an interesting couple of weeks. My girls have been really sick. It has been horrible. Today I was home again with Katie. Katie has had super high fevers. About 2 weeks ago, she had the stomach flu. Needless to say..I am tired of my family being sick.

Today is Valentines Day and my Valentine got me a card. Hubby needs to step up. Lol.

Well I hope everyone in my blog world is staying healthy.

Till next time...

New Movies :)

2009-07-12T19:13:00.002-04:00

I watched some new movies this weekend and they were quite good. I watched Seven Pounds

Which was a real tear-jerker! :( But was good, none the less.

The next was Paul Blart: Mall Cop

Paul Blart- Very Funny!

Next was, Push

Push was good, good action, but a little hard to follow.

I would recommend them all, judge for yourself.

I ordered from www.fusionbeads.com for the first time. My findings are pictured above. I'm very pleased with what I got and super fast shipping!

I used my points from my bank and was able to get the above items from a jewelry line I love! It's called fresh- and you can find their line at Michaels or at Amazon.com. The link to Amazon is below. For Michaels, you are not able to purchase anything from their website, you can only buy their items in the store. :(

I love the store, It is so awesome, I could spend hours in there.

Great love story movie! I love Reese Witherspoon. And Mark is so cute!

Juno

Such a silly movie, but so funny! I loved it. The things that Juno says, so funny. I love the "barfing" the in urn part.

13 going on 30

I love Jennifer Garner, she is so lovable. And I just love this movie, I love how it ends. I also love the 80's throw back.

Joe Dirt

OMG!! So funny! There are so many parts in this movie that I love. I love the "carney" part and I love the dog on the porch. It's just so funny!! A must see!

My children amaze me everyday and make me laugh everyday. Their word of today, well phrase of today was "You are freaking me out". This cracked me up. We had lunch together and I was in the van sitting next to Katie, I was very afraid that Katie was going to spill her milk on me (she has a knack for that sort of thing ;) ) and I said to her "Katie be very careful, if you spill your milk on me, Mommy will have to go back to work with wet pants". Emma piped up and said "Yeah, then everyone will laugh at you and it will freak everyone out" I just thought that was so cute. :)

New Ones!

2009-06-13T01:06:00.001-04:00

I'll try to post a picture later.

Good

2009-06-03T19:50:00.002-04:00

I went to a CME for work this week and learned a lot of Billing and Coding, which was awesome. I also got to go bead shopping, which of course was even better!! I have created three new necklaces, please let me know what you think!

Oh, I almost forgot, I had a necklace approved and posted on beadage.com-- I am very excited about this!!!!!!!

Here is a link to view it! Peace+ Beads = Happiness

The claw

2009-05-31T10:34:00.003-04:00

I think I am suffering from the claw syndrome. My hand is almost in the shape of a claw from beading all day yesterday. But the creative juices were following, so I was going to use it while I had it. I made about three necklaces yesterday, I have posted pictures of them. I'm very happy with how they turned out.

I am heading to my parents today to visit, so that should be fun. Maybe I can find some more inspirations. Wish me luck!

Inspired

2009-05-30T10:22:00.003-04:00

I am truly feeling inspired when it comes to my necklaces. I was so excited yesterday to take the money I earned from selling my 15 necklaces and buy new stuff, It was so much fun. The gears in my head were just turning and turning. So I can't wait to come up with a whole new set of necklaces. It is almost like someone is paying me to do my hobby :).

Peace

2009-05-28T22:06:00.002-04:00

Peace This is one of my favorite necklaces that sold today. :)

Sold

2009-05-28T18:37:00.004-04:00

Well today I sold my necklaces for the first time. And I have to say I did not anticipate feeling the way I feel. It's very strange. I have no problem making necklaces and giving them to people, but to sell them, it's a whole another ball game. It is bizarre, but in the same sense exciting. I am excited that someone liked my work enough to purchase it. The lady I sold them to owns a store in town and she purchased 13 of the 17 necklaces that she was presented with. She will then in turn mark them up and sell them in her store. I think that, that is the part that bothers me. Because my tag had to be removed from them, so I really

in turn get no credit for them.
I'm hoping that in time this feeling will pass.

What a view?

2009-03-01T11:08:00.001-05:00

This is the view out my front door. This picture was taken today, March 1st, 2009 @ about 10 am.

Doesn't look much like spring? Brr!

Nostalgic

2009-03-01T11:01:00.003-05:00

Today is March 1st 2009. I'm hoping that with March there will be warmer weather. My oldest child, Easton, will be 6yrs old in 5 days. I'm feel a little nostalgic. I can't believe how fast my family is growing up. It's just very hard to believe. I have been blessed with the flu last week. My whole family has been sick. It has not been a fun couple of weeks. Everyone had strep throat and then Katie got an ear infection. So I'm hoping with warmer weather, maybe less germs?

Hopefully I will be able to get through Easton's birthday on Friday, with little tears. It would be sadness and joy :)

More Upbeat

2008-06-10T21:33:00.000-04:00

So the first two blogs I posted were kind of cranky and depressing, so I thought I need to upbeat the tempo a little.
I am amazed everyday how funny my children are. The honesty of the thoughts and expressions of how they are feel, is sometimes shocking, but in a way refreshing.
To live you life thru the eyes of you children is a truly wonderful thing!
My 4yr old had a doctor's appointment last week, her 4yr well child exam. On the way home is was trying to show me the stickers she had gotten, "for being such a great patient". She kept saying, "Mom look at this one, it has a butterfly" and "Mom look this one has a birdie".
So after about three times of me turning around to look at her in the backseat and try to drive at the same time. I said "Honey I have to watch the road now, Momma can't turn around anymore". She replied, "Is it cause you don't want to hit anybody?" I said yes. "And you don't want to get in trouble by a policeman?" I said yes. "And you don't want to go to jail?" I said yes, that's right. She said "But Momma, they feed you there", "But you don't get a lot of drinkies"
That just cracked me up. She has told me before, when she was three, that my shoes didn't match my pants. And she said "Momma, are you going to wear those pants to work?"
Can you imagine a three year old saying that? Anyway I could go on for pages about the things my children have said!

my babies

Ugh!! So Frustrating!

2008-06-08T22:51:00.003-04:00

So I was browsing tonight in blogs located on blogspot and found some very frustrating blogs. I was searching blogs about fibromyalgia.
The part that was frustrating is that there was blogs basically denouncing fibromyalgia. Stating that is all in people's heads and how they leach off the government and how they are always requesting pain meds. And what was the most interesting points is that, most of them were written by medical professionals!! The people that SHOULD know better. To generalize that way is ludicrous. I have fibromyalgia, I work 40hrs a week. I receive no money from the government whatsoever, Yes I have pain everyday of my life. But I'm not a drug seeker. I work in a medical office and I know how drug seeking behaviour is perceived. So I have hardly asked for anything for pain (twice in the past year...and yes I only got a 30 day supply), for fear that people would perceive me the exact way that was described in those blogs. The nurses and doctors at my work know that I'm not a drug seeker, but still the fear of that stigma is there. And I guess with good reason.
Can you possibly imagine having pain every single day of your life? Do people realize that at some point EVERYDAY, every part of my body hurts. Every single part of my body. Can you possible even come close to imagining what that is like.
It's unfortunate that people can stand on the other side of the fence and judge how someone is feeling, because they are a judgemental a**hole. It must be nice to be "holier than thou".

Today

2008-06-08T12:23:00.000-04:00

Have you ever felt tired of being tired?? Actually in my case I don't think even tired is an appropriate enough word. Exhausted doesn't even do it! I wish sometimes that I would have had a crystal ball about three-four years ago. I have three children. Son (5), Daughter (4) and Daughter (2).
Now back to the crystal ball, I think that if I had known that I would develop all these health problems that I currently have, maybe I wouldn't have had three children or maybe had them, but not so close together. But then instantly I feel extremely guilty. I feel guilty because I realize that I wouldn't have my three babies that I love so much.
I have a demyelinating disease of the brain and fibromyalgia (among many more...IBS, Raynard's..and the list goes on).
One of my big obstacles is that the demyelinating disease and the fibro symptoms can be very similar, so it's hard to know which one is causes my symptoms.
So from one of them I experience daily "exhaustion" (still not a good enough word!!). Exhaustion so bad that when I try to cut up my children's food, my muscles burn in my arms, the burning pain you get while exercising. I have to pause, wait and start again.
How pathetic that must sound, But it's the reality of my life!
My husband and I work opposite shifts at our jobs, which is awesome for keeping daycare costs done, but is not helpful for me. I work M-F- 8-5pm and he works M, W, Sat and Sun. So I never get a break....ever!! Everyone at work is like Hey!, it's Friday. I'm secretly thinking....hmmm, which is more exhausting...being at work or taking care of my children.
We are not by any means in a financial position to hire someone to help me. We live in a small town, so there is no other jobs for my husband, that would give him the opportunity to be home on the weekends.
So back to my original statement. Have you ever being tired of being tired?
Every weekend, I don't allow myself to sit down. Because if I sit down, I'm afraid I will fall asleep and my children would be unattended. So Saturday and Sunday, I work and keep myself busy all weekend long. How sad is that?
I have no idea what the possible resolution for my.....("what word could I use?") life..?? would be. I wonder how long can I possibly do this? See that crystal ball would come in handy again!
Well I believe that my children are dismantling my house as we speak, so I must go for now.
