It's Cold

Oh, baby it's cold outside!

Ray's Party

Ray's work threw him a little baby shower today at work. I giggle because he hates being the center of attention, even if it was for an unbelievably generous, sweet celebration. We are very lucky to be surrounded by such incredible support and love from family, friends, and even coworkers.

December Moments

More Babies?!

Maddy says it's twins.

Chocolates

"Mom!! Take my picture and send it to Santa! This is what I want."

Oh Christmas Tree

Here's to better mommy moods brought on by beautiful lights and afternoons spent with my sweet little girl.

Towel Has Been Thrown

Today I am officially done. Done with what? Oh, just done.

It was a typical work and doctor appointment filled day, but something just has me in a BAD mood. Maybe it's the extra 35lbs that all seems to be entirely in my stomach, or the candy I had to pass up for the hundredth time, or the kidney stone that still seems to be SOMEWHERE inside of me. But I am having a woe is me day. Which I could typically get through quietly and quickly. BUT, Not today. Maddy is awesome, and being a 5-yr old just wants to play and talk and dance and jump. Today all those things... Everything has me irritated. When Ray got home I think I may have snapped. Poor Maddy. Poor Ray. 

This is what I hear from the dining room as I am feverishly trying to steam clean the marker off the couch... And calling it a gosh darn couch. 

Maddy: "daddy, will you play with me? This is crazy. I'm not talking to mom. This is crazy."

So, my question is... Will I feel normal again?! Tonight is another entry in my Mom of the Year diary. Ugh, I think I need to sleep this off or eat a sugar-free Klondike bar. :)
