Somebody Stop Me!

I have gained stink'in 26 pounds, not ounces guys, pounds! Dang it! If you get a chance to read "O" magazine this month, make sure you read the article about mindlessly loosing weight as quickly as you mindlessly gained it. It's pretty cool! So, this week I am trying to remember to eat low fat, low carb, low sodium, high fiber, protein filled, small, frequent, baked meals on smaller plates, while chewing more to aid in the digestion process. NO PROBLEM!

We went to my mother-in-laws house last night to ride 4-wheelers. @#*?^*!  It dropped like a GAZILLION degrees from the time we left Orange Beach to the time we got to her house. So, being completely ill prepared, I was FREEZ'IN! So, graciously, my mother-in-law said she would try to find me something I could fit into.@#*?^*!  She found the most GOSH AWEFUL, FREAK'IN OUTDATED, FLIPPIN NAPPY A.., HUMONGOUS 5FT. LONG ROYAL BLUE PIMP DADDY CLOAK! I LOOKED LIKE SUPERWOMAN GONE BAD ON A 4-WHEELER!

ALL ABOUT CORPORATE

Well, it's time to talk business!  For those of you who don't know, I am a Registered Nut, o.k., Nurse. However, since they don't pay enough to cover the million dollar homes in the area in which we live, I had to make some drastic moves. Now I own an Advertising business, a Nanny service, and in order to sale some outrageously expensive chocolate, I am selling Mary Kay products just so I can offer a CHOCOLATE AND FACIAL PARTY! So, I should be signing 3 advertising contracts this week-so excited! I'm accepting nanny applications this week and having a CHOCOLATE AND FACIAL PARTY!-on Tuesday night. Anyone want to join?

Kaylie & Cody are good. CRA-Z-NESS! Well, Kaylie brought up the topic of death. She was highly emotional-lots of tears, sniffles, and snot. Kaylie was asking about what would happen to them if I died, etc. I assurred her that daddy would take very good care of them.  Well, Cody, my "thinker" of the two, asked about what would happen if dad and I both were to die, I comforted him and told him that Mimi & papa Jim would take very good care of them and they would get to go to lots of yard sales! Cody said, "Well, I don't have their number".

I love seeing them learn in school! I just tend to forget how quickly they are learning, especially in spelling. Mike and I arrived at home and Mike said "I smell P-O-T!" coming from the neighbors house. Kaylie said, P-O-T , POT!

Laykin is growing daily, she will turn 1 year this month on the 21st. I can't believe it! She is defending herself well against Kaylie & Cody!

Time flies

It's 4:02 a.m. and I cannot sleep. I have thousands of things running through my head. Yesterday morning I got Kaylie up for school and into the bath. I noticed that she had to bend her legs in order to lay all the way down in the tub. She also asked me to step out of the bathroom so she could have some privacy. I teared up. Every week without fail some stranger passes me by and encourages me to "enjoy every minute, they grow up fast". They are right, they do. However, for the life of me I cannot make time stand still, not even for a second. Thankfully I have little Laykin who has become the spitting image of Kaylie when she was this age to help bridge the gap. 

Jen and Andy I cannot wait to see that little Olivia again, and you guys of course. "Enjoy every minute, they grow up fast!" ha -Mom and Dad came to Kaylie's soccer game last night. It was so good to see them! Kaylie's team won!

This is red ribbon week. I had an opportunity to speak to my mothers 5th grade class this week. I was amazed at the hands that were held up when asked if they knew what "meth" was-then story after story came. Continue to pray for the children whom are innocently stuck in the cross fire of drug use and distribution.

Oprah's show with Magic Johnson and his wife regarding his life with HIV encouraged me not to ever have sex again! 

Another day!

We surrived another morning! Cody wet the bed. Kaylie and Cody faught in the tub this morning over who got to sit closest to the water faucet. Cody's entire morning was ruined b'cause I didn't tie his shoes in "double-triple" knots. Like, what is that anyway???  Laykin busted her lip in the tub. Kids were late for school. I gained 5 pounds. Maybe tomorrow morning will be better! This morning on the travel channel a fabulous new kids amusement park in China was being advertised. Their brag line at the end of the advertisement was that super-star Michael Jackson had actuallly visited there-twice!  Shocker!

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF KAYLIE, CODY, & LAYKIN

Allow me to tell you about my ever-so intriguing children. Kaylie is a 6yr old very ACTIVE little girl. She's amazingly confident, yet extremely clumsey (She doesn't know she's clumsey, so we'll keep that our secret!!!) She's sassy and very chic!  She and my son, Cody (5 yrs old) go to war frequently. Cody is the youngest obvious case of OCD I've ever seen. Everything has to be just right! He has to have his collar buttoned to the top, his bowl must be filled at least 3/4 full, he likes snap or hooked shorts, and hates wrinkles in his socks! Pray for me! He also says what he wants, when he wants! We were at Target the other day returning an item and the cashier says "Return?" and Cody replies, "Retard!" Again, pray for me!  Then there is sweet and adorable Laykin. She is 9mths old and just tries to stay out of the cross-fire between Kaylie and Cody. She feels lucky on days when they spoil her by giving her secret 'taste test', teaching her soccer by trying to have her head butt the ball, and playing hide and seek by covering her up with wool blankets while "moms not watching". Pray for Laykin
