I'm Moving

I've made a decision. As soon as school let's out in 16 weeks, I'm packing up my stuff and I'm out of here.

I miss the lake so much that my heart aches. Almost every song that I hear reminds me of it. If I eat anything that we ate this past summer I think of the lake. I miss waking up and giving Natalie her bottle on the front porch as the sun comes up. I miss watching the sun go down as the water calms down for for the evening and turns into a glass-like state. I can't wait to have the boat dock rock me to sleep.

I miss the jet skis and laying out on the back of the boat. I can't wait to watch Noah play on the edge of our land and splash in the water. I can't wait to swim with him off the boat dock.

Natalie will be walking this year so she can play in the water too!

Possum Kingdom is my get away, my release. After the May days are gone so am I. If you want to find me then head to PK!

P.S. ACDC rocked our faces off!

What the Doc Says...

Well, I got the results back from my lab and the doctor says I'm normal, at least my blood is anyway. The only thing is that she wants me to go on a low dose anti-depressant for stress. Don't get me wrong, many people take these drugs and they help them out a lot. I just know of too many people that have been changed in a negative why because of them. I have made the decision to deal with my stress without drugs.

Natalie stopped throwing up over the weekend but she was diagnosed with RSV on Monday. The doctor thinks she may have caught it in the hospital last week. Now we have to give her breathing treatments every three to four hours. She's much better today though.

I'm looking forward to my weekend of freedom in Dallas.

Have a great evening.

Exhausted!

This is Natalie on New Years Day at nine months old!

My head feels like a ten pound bowling ball right now. I'm so tired that my head could fall on this keyboard and I think I'd sleep.


I think this all started on Sunday. Natalie started throwing up Sunday night. My parents usually help us a whole lot but they are on a cruise, so I had to stay home from work with her. I HATE missing work. Anyway, she continued to throw up and by Wednesday night my pediatrician sent us to the hospital for IV fluids. The thought of needles makes my head spin and having them hold down my daughter and put one in her tiny hand was much worse. I cried too.


Anyway, she seems to be doing better so I hope that we are over the worst of that mess.

As for me, I had to go get my blood drawn yesterday. I've lost almost fifteen pounds in less than a month and I'm not dieting or working out. My size fours are falling off of me. I'm also losing my hair, and walking around in a zombie like state. My mom thinks I might have a thyroid issue so I'm getting it checked out. I should know the results of that next week.

I have to put things in perspective and remember that God is the Captain of my ship and he's not going to lead me into a storm that he can't bring me out of.


I do have several things that I'm looking forward to. A week from today I'll be seeing ACDC! The second best band ever, next to Aerosmith. I'm looking forward to seeing my "Dallas" friends and having a weekend away. Then Jeffery and I will have our ten year anniversary on February the sixth. Noah's birthday party is the first weekend in March and Natalie's is the first weekend in April, and then of course there's our CRUISE over spring break.

Hopefully I can keep myself and everyone else well so I can enjoy these things.


Oh, and since Christmas I have given in and started reading the Twilight series. My kids at school are all over that stuff! I'm just finishing the third book. Needless to say I'm addicted!


I hope you all have a good weekend!

Not Well Thought Out

Well, I feel like such a slacker! I was off for two weeks and didn't get a post in. I really want to post some more pictures of the kids but blogspot doesn't make it easy. If you have myspace or facebook check them out there.
Anyway, I'm back at work today and I have six minutes left in my conference. I just thought I'd let everyone know that we did have an awesome Christmas. Noah was so much fun! Yesterday as we were driving down the road he said "What's wrong?"
I responded with "What's wrong with what baby?"
He said "Where are all the Christmas lights?"
It was so sad. It makes me want to do it all over again just for him.

January sucks. Jeffery has inventory and he has to work a lot and there's just not a whole lot going on. We have our cruise in two months so at least we are getting closer to that. The kids are not ready to be back. It's going to take a few weeks to get everyone back in the swing of things. I'm sad to say that I'm already ready for summer!

Well, this was quick and not well thought out. I hope everyone has a great day. I have two minutes left of freedom.
