Christmas and Thanksgiving

So I got on the computer to start writing my Christmas letter....I feel unmotivated to do this. I don't know why....I usually really enjoy writing the letter. I am always excited for Christmas cards (and I am, but more just the picture card...finally found the perfect picture and ordered them yesterday!) but for some reason I am just not feeling the letter part right now. I guess that means don't sit and write it today because it would probably not sound too cheery! Weird.

Anyway, I am excited for Thanksgiving. I love getting together with family and shopping the day after with my mom. This year I told C he is keeping TC home with him.....sorry dad, no day off this year! However, how AM has acted the past 3 times I have taken her to a store....I am nervous for her joining us as well. She has thrown a screaming fit and been dragged out of the store the past 3 times....the first I don't remember, the second was Target and the third was the mall. So embarrassing. We'll see how Friday goes.



Saturday we have pictures for the kids. I am really excited about this. I've put it off for way too long. I was going to get some over the summer, in between TC turning 1 and AM turning 3. Now it will have to be more of a 1 1/2 and almost 3 1/2.....oops. Oh well, they will be cute. I am going to laugh though if TC makes his usual face when I get the camera out and say "Cheeeeese". Here it is.... The first one is a perfect recap. Sometimes he does keep his eyes open, but he smooshes his face and nose up. Don't worry I happen to get one with him not so scrunched up for the Christmas Card pic :) Let's hope he is somewhat normal for the picture people.

Hope you all have a Happy Thanksgiving! I will try to motivate myself for letter writing.....

Much better week!

So this week was 100x better than last week. Jeez, I don't know if I could've handled another one, so it was good. Plus it flew by, which I was not expecting! Tonight is New Moon. SOOOO EXICTED! I can't even believe we are going to see it :) And when I say we....it's C's 22 yr old cousin, her boyfriend and me and thank goodness Jenny! I would be such an old third wheel if Jenny wasn't going with us :) So, I bought a bottle of wine called Old Moon a long time ago when I was first reading the Twilight series and I was saving it for when New Moon came out. I can't believe it's here and I get to open the bottle tonight for a glass before we go! FUN!

I am also glad this came so close to the holidays because I am ready for the holidays, but I get really excited for them and I don't like waiting for them to get here. So it was something to look forward to before Thanksgiving came, which will now be here in record time.

I also LOVE VAMPIRE DIARIES. Seriously...this blog post will be my ode to the teenager in me :)

(I hate this, but just in case I thought it was the polite thing to do)

SPOILER ALERT ahhahaha

Last weekend I spent every spare second watching every Vampire Diaries episode online in order. Luckily I didn't get a virus because there were some pretty shady websites that had the shows on there. Anyway, I watched them all, even the more recent ones I had seen. So I was all caught up for last night which was an awesome episode because I was very excited when she said she loved him and they did it :) HAHA But then she left and I was like stupid girl. I can't wait to see what will happen next. Obviously Stefan will save her, or maybe Damon. Whom I like a lot...he is fun, bad but fun.

Okay, should I even bore you with the old person life stuff I have going on? Hmmm, not much there anyway....just the usual, married, housework, kids, kid stuff. And C laughs because I love teenage vampire love stories.....sometimes it's just a lot more interesting than real life :)

This weekend is going to be a good one- tonight the move, OBVIOUSLY. Tomorrow we are getting our decorations out and trying to get started since we are having C's fam over on the 29th for a housewarming. We would usually decorate that weekend, so we have to get started now...I'm sure it won't take long. We have this huge house now and hardly any decorations at all.

Then C is going out with his brother and his friends to see cousin Kasey's fight, which last time was soooo much fun, but very expensive, so we thought just one of us could go this time. And obviously I'm not going to a fight by myself :) Although I'm sure I could get into some fun trouble, but I'll let C do that. The boys are not driving, luckily responsible older brother got them a hotel and a car service so I don't have to stress about C being dumb. He would kill me for writing that, but I don't care. I hate stressing about drunk drivers out there, especially if I may know them. Anyway, so I will be here with the kids and I invited grandma down for the night so we'll have a fun afternoon/evening at home. It sounds good to me.

And then the short week with the holidays starting and I'm excited. I really love the holidays...seriously my favorite time. Until summer comes, which I am very ready for by the time the yucky winter is driving me crazy.

Okay, not that I need it, but going to pour myself another cup of coffee....the movie isn't until 10....which is bedtime for me.....so I will be having some caffeine throughout the day I think.

Have a good day and wonderful weekend.

Better

It was 5 minutes of sadness, but life will be normal again. I'm okay, just needed to vent-thanks cyberspace for listening :)

Off to make lunch for the kiddies. They are so cute and I love them and that makes me happy.

Finally need to talk

It's been awhile since I've been on here. I think about it often but of course life takes over and I don't have time to talk about it, any spare second I would rather spend not thinking about all my life's issues. I got on here because I was at my computer and then I get a call back from my husband. So to start out this week has been very hard with the kids.....I'm sure part of it is because I'm pms-ing and I have been very irritable and then of course it's so frustrating I have cried like 3 times. I have been telling myself every night I need more patience, I need to be better the next day. Mind you my 3 yr old has been waking up whining, whining all day, all night, about everything. Everything else is a fight-whether it's getting dressed (even though it was her idea to get dressed at that exact minute, then she doesn't want to actually do it when you're there with the clothes....ugh), brushing teeth, hair, going to the bathroom even was a fight! So beyond that, the fighting, crying, screaming, I woke up today hoping it would be better. It was. It started out pretty good, the kids have been getting along for the most part (minus a few small fights which is hardly anything compared). I was happy it was Friday, I was thinking for the first time all week, maybe C will come home in a good mood because it's been a lot of silent dinners. I chalk it up to him being stressed at work and me at home. He gets home says things I think are mean. Then we're both annoyed and go to bed. It's been a great week. So, today I'm thinking great, we can enjoy the evening, we had talked about going out to dinner. Then he calls me and says he is going out for a beer after work. I say go ahead, it's no big deal. I mean in all reality he never does this, so it's good, go, have a good time. See you later. But on the other hand I am so sad. I am lonely and it's been a really rough week and I thought maybe we could all go out and do something and here I am now stuck with the fact that I will be home by myself with the kids for even longer than normal. I'm miserable now, I'm crying. I'm sad. I need something. I don't know what. I'm glad my kids are being good because it is making my life easier. But I'm sure I spoke too soon. And I'm sure everything will get better. My day will look up, or at least my weekend will..at some point.
