Old Blog from myspace...soon to follow Mother of a 3rd Grader :(


I can't believe that starting tomorrow I will be a mother of a kindergardener. Where did the past 5 years go? My baby is defiantly not a baby anymore. He has become a charming well mannered little man and I couldn't be more proud of him. I thank God for Ethan, for allowing me to become a mother. I thank him for trusting me to raise this precious thing. In someways I feel like I became a mother for more than just the reason of having a baby. I wasn't all that nice before. I was a selfish spoilled stuck up 20 year old girl. Ethan made me into a selfless woman...a mother. A person that I am proud of. I have spent every moment of these past 5 years trying harder than anything ever in my entire life to be sucessful mother. I look at my little boy and I see this child that loves everyone, that realizes peoples emotions and cares about them, I this adorable voice sing songs to me, and his little hand pat my head or wrap around me and I just think, can it get any better? Oh and his laugh, this laugh of a this 5 year old boy fills your entire body with this overwhelming sense of happiness. How does he do that? I don't know but I never want it to end. :)

5 years!!! From cooing in his playpen to crawling to his first steps at mom and hearing him saying Momma for the first time to a kindergardener!

If you are reading this and you have babies at home run to them and hug them and kiss them every chance you get because it goes by so fast. Take it from this Momma of a Kindergadener (!) it goes by sooooo quick.

Current Dining Room Pics

These pics were taken late at night & I took off the shade on the chandelier to help with the light


This is what I sent my sisters about the room: I love the buffet and art over it..love the dining room table and the summer centerpiece..the shelf is what drives me nuts bc I still think it looks too dark. I like the stuff on the top of it but want to switch out some of the stuff on the shelves. I want to put some fun fabric skirt on the first tank to cover the wires (or hope they all go to fishy heaven.) and to the left of the shelf I am going to do a photo gallery mixed it ethan’s pictures and ethan’s artwork. And I still want to replace the chandelier...one of these two.

Checking In

We just came back from a wonderful minivacation to Disney World. We had a wonderful time and it was a nice getaway before our family cruise. I can not believe it is only 3 weeks away and the summer is flying by so quickly. Since coming back we have kinda been hibernating after work. It has been nice but i think we are getting cabin fever and all looking forward to an outdoor weekend.
Fitness: I was doing great until this week. I have had a hard time getting off of vacation mode and back into the gym. I told my gym partner that I needed him to reconfirm to the program on Monday to help me get back on track and he is on board.
TTC: I got my period yesterday which means it was unsucessful last month. Along with the awful cramps I had yesterday I had was hit with a wave of emotion. Disappointment, heartbreak. Should we give up. Should I take these pills that mess w/ my hormones and it is all a waste of time or is it really going to work one day. I want a baby. i want to be able to give that joy to my husband. I'm suppose to go to lunch with my gf who is 9 months prego and I kinda want to avoid it bc I am soooo green with envy.

this little one keeps me going and the love & support from my husband...how blessed we would be to have a second one.

Lampshade???

I need to finish this rehab...I originall thought..rectangle lamp base=retangle lampshade easier said then done.
I can not find a white retangle lampshade locally. Online including shipping it is $45! That is 9x's the amount I paid for the lamp!



Today I came across this picture. rectangle lamp base= drum lampshade??? could it work? This lamp pulled it off...why not mine? Drum Lampshades are easy to come by. I have seen them in walmart & target. I could always return it. Goal this week-finish the darn lamp!
