Running on everything but the treadmill.

Up at 6:20am Mon-Fri. 2 cups of coffee drank before 8 am. A full throttle energy drink downed by 10am. Lunch ( if I remember) is eaten by 1:40pm. And the only reason I eat is because my son gets out of school at 1:30 and he comes home and has a snack. That's when it dawns on me to eat. Dinner by 6-6:30 everyday. No exceptions unless we are attending a school function. Showers take up the 8 o' clock hour and everyone is in bed by 9:00pm. Except Fridays. Im flexible on Fridays. Only because my Fridays are cray! Jaxon to piano at 2:50pm. Jessie picked up from school at 3:00pm dropped off at piano by 3:30. Get Jaxon in the car and Jill picked up by 3:40pm. Turn around and pick up Jessie who's piano lessons end at 4:00. 3 school zones at 20mph. Traffic like I'm driving thru Dallas/Fort Worth at 9 in the morning. Kids are never late to lessons or are they waiting on me to pick them up. I am always waiting on them. This schedule is why I pray for a dry - iceless winter. But I doubt that will be the case. Its already -27 and snowing in Wyoming. WTH? Its the first weekend of Oct. 
Saturday I am up by 8-8:30. Because the kids have no sense of what sleeping in is. "Lets wake up at stupid early on a Saturday and eat cereal really loud like zoo animals. That wont make mom mad at all!" And by the "I am up at 8:30", that's the time I decide to drag my ass out of bed. I've been laying in bed since 10 after 7. Looking at Facebook wondering when some mom friends of mine had time to hit up the bar on a Friday night. Or have a date night with their hubby. Or get to sit down all stress-free looking curled up watching movies with their kids. My kids stink on Fridays. They are the last thing I am curling up with. (Remember, I'm flexible on Fridays....no showers and late bed times. Makes my wine intake flow better when I let them do what they want.) 
Sundays I am up by 8:00am and getting the younger 2 ready for church. They go with my grandma every Sunday. Its just my job to get them cleaned up from the weekend and put them in their Sunday Best. Then its off to Orchestra practice for the older one. That's 2 1/2 hours long and thank goodness i don't have to stay. But I have a car that is literally running on luck and prayer and a good hefty push from my guardian angel. Cause the gas gauge always tells me I'm empty no matter how many 30 dollar bills I stuck in the thing that week and my power steering pump is out. Giving me very sore arms by the end of the day. My husband is gone anywhere from 14-21 days out of the month and that's when everything decides to look me in the eyes and laugh. Knowing its me against the world while hes away.  O and I'm also the house mom to 9 new puppies our Java had on Sept 16. So I have to take extra care of her and keep bedding washed daily cause new puppies smell and I will be damned if my house stinks worse than smelly kids. 

 Happy Friday!

Back to reality....

Our trip to Austin was a blast! I have decided that if we are ever able to return there, that I need to be in alot better shape!!! I was soooo tired and sore...from walking mind you!! I would lose 10lbs from all the walking and sweating and then gain 15 every time I ate!! There was never a dull moment on this little vacation of ours...we made the most of everyday. We were glad to return home to our chunky monkey though!! And glad to announce that he has stopped sucking his thumb since he has left aunt Jennifer's!! I wish could have taken a picture of how tired she looked when we got home, because I knew this would kick her tail!! But her watching them all for us (Jaxon plus the cat and dog) was greatly appreciated and I hope nothing scared her away!! Pictures and great stories behind them coming soon....probably this Sunday because we get the computer Saturday but we are going to the local Harley Davidson Party and I won't really want to mess with the computer after picking it...

a million and one....

i have always had an interest in photography. i have always wanted to carry a camera with me every where i go. And most of the time i think i will just remember what my eyes see. Forever. And i don't always remember. I want to capture things, in case one day, my son wants to see the world the way i saw the world. the way i saw him growing up. that is really all i have done is capture him over the years. but i have always wanted to turn that hobby into a part time job. a job that allows me to help families capture what they cant. moms aren't always in the pictures. so i want to make it my job and have moms in the pictures with their families.  I started my business in October of 2014 and since then I have captured a wedding, beautiful children, families, an engagement session and of course the countless pictures of my kids. we took Jill's 8th grade pics to a whole new level this year. and i cant wait to capture her high school years. i have 2 more weddings, an engagement...

Im going to take a break!

This potty training business is for the birds! "He will go when he is ready" is all people keep telling me. My response ..."He does go when hes ready...in his diaper!!" Maybe if we just take a break and not rush it, it will all fall together. Like him sleeping without being bundled, going to nap or bed without a bottle, feeding himself his food with his own silverware. All the other milestones in between that he did when ..."he was ready" Going to the potty is a big deal for kids. This little adventure has been stressful on him. Not just me and Josh. I mean...hes constantly having to take off his pants and diaper, either sit on the little potty or put his seat on the big potty, sit down and get comfortable, make sure everything is aiming where it needs to be.....for nothing! He laughs the whole time he is on there. Except if the seat is really cold. That doesn't make him laugh at all. So for now we are on a break from going to the bathroom all at on...
