Twas the eve before Turkey Day.

Twas the night before thanksgiving, and all threw the house
Not a creature was stirring not even my louse.
The turkey was thawing in the sink full of water.
My dreams were filled with why even bother.
The alarm blared its a quarter to four.
I ran for my bathrobe and tiptoed to the door.

I grabbed butter and pepper and salt and lots of spice
People think I am crazy staring and even the mice.
Preheat the oven and open the door.
Tom turkey is baking and I hit the floor.

Ten hours later at six minutes to four
I get to the table all tired and wore.
We bow our heads and say grace.
The turkey is now gone without a trace.

Corn on the plates, the mashed potatos fly.
I turn my head and question why.
I shake my head and proudly exclaim...
Hope you all have a great Thanksgiving Turkey day.

Short but sweet a great day to be mom.

Today was nippy. We shivered so the kids and I had to pull out our winter gear. It is crazy that tomorrow it is supposed to be in the high 60's. I bundled them up and had to brave the 2 day week my daughter is facing. I cannot wait until thursday! I cannot wait until we have the aroma of turkey wafting in the air and my kids around the table and carving into our delicious golden turkey. I love thanksgiving and I know Christmas will follow. Ro and I have talked. We decided santa is bringing a simple Christmas this year. One big gift. 30 or less and then a couple of smaller gifts.

We have so much to be thankful for. I have a friend on a board of mine. Her name is Krista. She is a very sweet lady who has suffered through 3 miscarriages. When I get angry at my children I think of her. I realize some people would give anything to have my babies if they could. My board has started a fund for her on site to help with fertility treatments. So far they have raised 900 for her. I pray every night for her and I know she will be blessed soon with a gorgeous child and this baby will be loved by lots of cyber aunties. If you are curious here is her story. She will touch you like she has touched me. If you have something extra donate to her. I wish I did but for now I can only lift prayers to God for her. The paypal address is Kristadeservesababy@yahoo.com. Good Luck Krista! I hope we see your big fat positive soon!

Here are some pictures of my baby. My reason for living and the reason I breath. Thank you god for my wonderful miracles.

Is this really my son?

Today we went to King Soopers and bought our turkey. I was looking at 17 lbs most. Big Ro really surprised me when he picked out our 22 lb tom turkey. I really do not mind it at all. I love thanksgiving it puts me in such a good mood. Here is our menu.

Turkey
Ham (nevermind I am not paying 50 for a ham on top of turkey)
Stuffing
Mashed Potatos & Gravy
Green Beans & Bacon
Sweet Potatos
Corn
Pumpkin Pie
Apple Pie
Rolls & Butter

That is it so far.

Today went to a chinese buffett. I really was worried that lil Ro would not let us eat again. But surprisingly he did. He ate and we finished a meal together. Who switched my son with a clone seriously? I took him to the bathroom once and that was it. Happier days ahead seriously! Not much going on lately. Trying to get the apartment back in order. That itself is an all day task.

Woo Hoo Go Bucks!

Yes I know. I know we are not National Champs. We did not have our best season ever but it was so sweet to see that first touchdown go to the bucks. It was barely 1015 here and I was screaming and carrying on so loud my neighbors probably considered calling the cops. I even cleaned my house first thing so we could just relax and watch the game. We have no clue if and what bowl we make it too but ya know with the Michigan loss today life is just a little sweeter. Go Bucks I may be in CO but my heart is still there with you all every season I am gone and as my Lil Ro says Go Books!

Yep you know it

We cannot go a day without some kind of excitement. Ha Ha. Today was a pretty good day. We went to dinner and tried a place called Culvers Frozen Yogurt and Butterburgers. It was soo good and they were so nice. I cannot believe that I actually got to enjoy a meal. LiL Ro was disciplined a couple of times but he actually ate too. Then Big Ro wanted to see his friend Peter. He dropped us off at K-Mart and I was so happy. I found a new carseat for Lil Ro for $20.00. Score it is a Cosco Scenera and was manufactured in 3-10-2008. We will get lots of use for that money! No more switching cars. I am so excited. Love my bargain highs. Not much went on but it was exciting for us. Hope you all had great days!

My awesome friend

She makes the nicest holiday cards and she also makes lots of announcements. She is having a holiday card give away but hurry. It ends tomorrow!

Oh Yes the Joys Of ParentHood

Today was very interesting. I got my magazine Parents and could not put it down. It had an article and the mom reminded me alot of myself. She was a yeller. She did not realize it until it was almost too late. What I decided is by her example to start deyellifying my life. For one when I yell I get dizzy. My blood pressure goes up and I get even more frusturated. I now hold my breath and count to ten and then whisper to the children what I want. Surprisingly lil Ro stops screaming to hear what I had to say. Hopefully we can make this work.

I had to call Poison Control this evening. When I was checking out ebay I heard screaming from the kitchen. My Lil Ro decided to pour the whole dish soap on his head. He did not injest any but his eyes were very swollen and he was covered. I had to irrigate his eyes for 15 minutes in the shower but I felt so bad during that time. Thank goodness he is ok today. He is still feeling a little down and I am still a little tired but I blame the cold. If it would just snow a little it would make it all alright. I guess I ranted enough tonight. Hope you all had a great day.

I have no clue whats going on with me

On monday we went to our favorite taco shop. I got up in the middle of the night and I got sick. I do not mean just a little sick. I mean all over the bathroom. It had to be the food. I woke up today and ate some cheerios. Again I was sick. I took some tylenol and laid back down. I have no fever just lots of nausea. Big Ro asked me what made me sick. It makes me mad as I have no clue whatsoever. I know I know it could be anything. I am feeling slightly better but I am going back to bed right now.

Big Ro went to our friends and helped him with a computer. I am going to bed now. Hopefully tomorrow I feel lots better.

Its a beautiful Day! A Beee-you-tee-full day!

Today did not feel like November at all. The kids were driving me batty and we really needed to get out and test that car to the Max. We have a gorgeous state park here called 11 Mile Resevior. We love to drive up here and talk and figure out what is going through our minds. We had a very interesting talk about life and what is going on. The drive is around 45 minutes. While we are there we find a pronghorn antelope. He looks lost but we leave him be and he scurrys off into the mountains once again. Big Ro and I are going to go back to camp out this spring and see if we like it. We are going to hit up second hand stores to find some gear. Wish us luck and enjoy the pics of our day out.

Just a normal Saturday! Wish it was Sunday!

Same day different stuff. Today I am very proud of me. I bought lunch and dinner for a whopping 11.00. For lunch we had cold cut sandwiches and for dinner we had spaghetti with ground turkey and cheese with meat sauce. It was slow but it was nice. We just chilled. I am avoidingbeing online as my kiddos need me. I am sure tomorrow will be more exciting just wait and see.
