To Blog or Not to Blog.........

       I love to blog....no doubt about it!! I also love to read and look at other peoples blogs as well!! It's almost comforting at times to see that some of us are going through some of the same kinds of things, that we're not alone. Lately though, I've been asking myself if maybe my blog is BORING???!! I mean, I can't talk about being pregnant, or raising babies......and I really don't want to talk to much about all the heartache I've had to go through with infertility and all the other issues that my body has..so really, what does that leave?!?! What do people want to hear about? I love talking about mostly everything and anything....so should I just keep on continuing with the path that I'm on?!?!?
      I don't think I'll give it up, that's for sure! It's kinda therapeutic.....even if no one is listening or reading!! So even if I'm boring the crap outta people...so be it!!! I'm gonna stick it out...I'm gonna ramble on and on about random life things and I'm gonna keep on reading all about your lives!! So even when you think or know that no one is interested in your ramblings...keep your head up and your fingers typing because maybe, just maybe there will be that one blog that inspires someone, that grabs their attention, that evokes feelings or questions!!!!! Yep.....I'm gonna stick it out and hope that I can at least inspire one person in some small way!!!

God Bless the Sports Bra!!!!

     I'm going to be starting my running clinic next Tuesday and I'm so excited!!! I really need to do this for myself! My body has had a mind of it's own for the last couple of years and it's time to take it back!!! When I signed up, I went on their website to do some reading. I came across an entire area on wearing the proper bra. Now if you're like me and the girls are rather large, you know you're gonna need something pretty dandy to strap them in...especially while running!! So off I went today in search of an amazing, magical "boulder holder"...and low and behold...I FOUND ONE!!!! This is the MOST amazing sports bra ever!!! It is soooooo comfy and has great support!!! I wanted to share this with you as I know how hard it can be sometimes to find just the right fit!!! So here it is.....the amazing bra!!!!

"Memorable Monday"

    Today is supposed to be my second Memorable Monday, but seeing as how I have to go home and fight with the tax people on the phone....*sigh* anyhow, I'm still gonna try and put a happy spin on this (so far) crappy Monday!! I was still contemplating doing the eyebrow wax thing at an actual place, but really???? I'm a little nervous about it! I have visions of having no eyebrows when I leave. So I think that I will just invest in some more wax/sugar for home and go back to my ol' reliable self doing it!! So what now you ask?!?....


     I'm going to go home and make myself an awesome dinner, maybe treat myself to a nice cold bevvy (this is of course, all after my phone calls that I have to make)...then soak in a nice, warm bath maybe with a candle going...then....well....I don't know!!! But it will still be a nice way to end a loooooooong Monday, even if I do have to spend it alone since the Hubs is at work!! BOOOO!!!! Ah well......Just some more time for ME!!!! Hope all you fellow blogsters also get to have some "me" time!!! You deserve it!!!

My little Helper

      So as I mentioned in yesterdays blog, I couldn't wait to clean and organize my house!! The Hubs got up V-E-R-Y early and headed out...(might I mention that I was now wide awake...) so I figured that I may as well get up and start on my cleaning mission. I was trying to be quiet as our girlie was still sleeping, though she could sleep through ANYTHING!!! I started the laundry, did some folding and then sat to check my e-mail. A few minutes later I could hear the familiar sounds of her bed creaking, which usually means that she`s stretching and about to get up!! Sure enough, her feet hit the floor and then I heard her come down the stairs!!
      I was sure that she was going to be disappointed that she was going to have to sit and watch me clean like a maniac while she was waiting for her grandparents to pick her up....but she actually asked me if she could help!!! I wasn`t shocked, as she is always eager to help out, but I just didn`t think she would want to clean on a Sunday morning!!!! She is just so damned cute!! I handed her the paper towels and off she went cleaning our front windows!! I couldn`t resist...I grabbed the camera and snapped these photos!!!!!(She also fed all the crazy birds in our yard after.....doubly cute!!) What a terrific Sunday morning.....just the girls!!!!!!!

Sweet Sundays......

     I am really looking forward to tomorrow!!! Although I also hate Sundays as much as Mondays I just have this feeling that it's going to be a very productive, beautiful day!! The hubs has to go out in the morning and Grandma and Grandpa are picking up our girlie (a.k.a....their grand-girlie) to take her out to get her birthday present (btw..there will be a future blog about her celebration and the decor..)..and me???? I'm going to do some cleaning and organizing!! Sounds pretty dull, eh? But for real??? I CAN-NOT-WAIT!!! My house is so in need of some organization, cleaning and just some plain ol' TLC!!! My laundry needs to be done and the Laundry Room really needs to be organized!! I've been on the go non stop all week and I had a fall last Saturday that really took its' toll on my back, so I wasn't really up to doing much after my almost 10 hour days at work!!!! So tomorrow will be my "catch-up" day!!


      I may go out quickly and treat myself to a decaf vanilla latte from Starbucks to start my day....(this is a rare thing for me to do as I can hardly justify paying that much for a coffee....but once in a while..you just gotta do it!!!!) I am going to try and enjoy every minute of cleaning and organizing.....a clean house is what makes me happy!!! I may also think of how I'm going to spend my "Memorable Monday"...( I was thinking about getting my brows waxed as I usually do them myself but am tiring quickly of this...)..totally NOT exciting, but worthwhile!! We'll see how that turns out!!! So here's to looking forward to a wonderful Sunday...can't wait to wake with the sunrise and a latte..(and our beautiful girlie!!!!)

A letter to my two loves.....

    To my Husband and our sweet little Girlie,
                      There will never be enough words to describe just how much I love and adore the two of you. I never thought that I'd be so lucky to have two such wonderful and amazing people in my life. My world is a brighter and happier place with you in it and I can't imagine it being any different!!
                   To my sweet little girl......You are so amazing, smart, funny, beautiful, talented and caring, and that's just to start. I remember falling in love with you the minute I met you, and I'll never forget it. I love that you never give up, that you are independant and feisty and that you still like to cuddle once and awhile!!! You are making so many people proud of you each and everyday and I know that you will continue to do so as the years go on because that's just who you are! We love you so, so much and embrace each and every day, month and year that go by with you in it. xoxo
  
                    To my husband.......where do I even start with you?!?! You made me feel beautiful and special from the minute we met. (oh how I remember that day....I'll never forget!!) It truly was love at first sight for the both of us and I couldn't stop thinking about you!! I love that you think I'm sexy when I'm in your t-shirts and my hair is piled up on top of my head...and that you love me with OR without my makeup on. The fact that you put your trust in me to be a part of your daughters life means the most though.....she is my world and I would give my life for her. I can't wait to celebrate our 1 year wedding anniversary this coming May....it may be a small thing, but I still can't wait!!! I can't imagine you not being here..(I'm sad when your gone away for a week!!). You are my world and sometimes even my backbone, my strength and my confidence. I love you more than any words can ever express and I thank you for all that you have given me and shared with me. xoxo

What a beautiful morning......snowblowing!!!

      Say WHAT??!!! Yeah, you read it right!! I had a thouroughly enjoyable morning this morning snowblowing!! And that was at 6:50am!! It's beautiful out there today..(o.k....we could ALL do without the white stuff) but may as well make the best of it!!! I have about 1.5hrs of snow removal where I'm working right now and normally??? I'd dread coming to work after a huge snowfall. Today was different and not for any particular reason....maybe it was the sun rising and the birds chirping that brightened my mood! Either way,  I just couldn't complain!! Yesterday however, was a TOTAL disaster. Not only would the snow not stop, but the fire alarm went off....SO not what you want happening in the middle of a blizzard!!! Then a little boy kept going and throwing stuff in the toilet...little did he know that he would get busted doing it!!! Now I have a little helper doing "community service" for me! hehe!!

      I'm hoping that this sunshine will stay with us for awhile, it really does wonders for your mood...and your skin to!!!Spring will show its' face when it's ready.....lets all keep our fingers crossed that it will be sooner rather then later!!! So for now, let's just try and enjoy what we've got, even if it is the "white stuff" and take joy out of the smaller things like sunrises and chirping birds!
