Mother's Day

Well I've been sick with a nasty cold the past few days, but today I woke up feeling much better! I can taste things and breathe through my nose (sometimes). Josh, unfortunately had to work from 6pm yesterday until 6am today. Then he came home and was writing out counseling statements until 9. He's sleeping now. He made sure there was fresh coffee for me this morning before he passed out.

Tristan's gift to me was the 3rd night in a row of not waking ONCE. He sleeps from at least 8-8 now (knocks on wood). Noah told me Happy Mother's Day this morning and gave me a huge hug. He helped me with the dishes and we made french toast on my new griddle. It can fit 9-12 pieces at a time!! WOOOO! Tristan enjoyed every bite (and did a lot of laughing and coughing)... yeah he only has 2 teeth, but he wants real food!! He hasn't choked yet. Noah ate 2 whole pieces of french toast, not a speck was left. He is a breakfast kind of guy. I've been enjoying my babies, relishing in the fact that I am a mother. On Mother's Day... I am celebrating by being a mom. Imagine that ;)

This is my first Mother's Day with Josh home... it sucks they work him to death. I told him yesterday not to worry about it because I'm not his mother haha. He responded "no, but you're the mother of my children." good answer, babe. Josh will probably be angry when he wakes up and finds out that I did dishes and vacuumed, but I am so happy that I feel better today and the mess was KILLING me! I spent most of yesterday in bed while Josh watched the boys. If I wasn't in bed I was on the couch, being grumpy. I figure I had my break yesterday and being annoyed or upset about Mother's Day is really pointless. Many more to go! :)

I at least want to go to the jeweler and have them add Tristan's birthstone to my necklace. I have mine, Josh's, Noah's, and now we need Tristan's. They're not going to be open today most likely, but I can find out what his birthstone is at least :) Thanks, Google! (It's a sapphire... OoOOoOOoOOOooo). Well if anything of consequence happens today I'm sure I'll update again.

To all my friends with absent husbands I'd like to give a big Happy Mother's Day!! You're strong women and wonderful mothers and no one will ever be able to understand how much you sacrifice, except for others like you :) To all those single moms I'd like to say WOW, woman. I don't know how you do it. You amaze and inspire me every day.

Septembers birthstone is one of my favorites! I think the blue sapphire is so purdy! I have two (October), pink tourmaline *bleh* and opal! I like opal, so it's good I've got two because pink tourmaline is a little too pink.
Happy Mother's Day!!

Still Happy!! HOORAY!!

We're still going strong with our happiness levels out here. Yesterday was a little bit rough because Tristan was especially whiney, but today was amazing :) We got our grocery shopping done and even managed to have fun doing that! Noah and I were singing Christmas songs already while Tris and Bren laughed at us. Tristan sometimes piped in with a "all the way" when we were singing Jingle Bells. Noah was cracking up when I sang him the Batman version :D After all that excitement the 2 wee ones went down for their naps and Noah and I gave Bosley a bath with his new tea extract shampoo. He looks and smells so wonderful now :) He was in such a good mood after that too! Noah made a concoction of plum leaves, olives, dirt, and paper which he called "olive a cado". While he was doing his own grocery shopping I was taking some macro shots with my new focus point knowledge. I'm very happy. I thought I loved my camera before! Anyway... We also built a littl...

Almost Doesn't Count

We almost ended up with a puppy today. An adorable baby Jack Russell Terrier mix wandered into our yard. He was very sweet, laid back, flea-ridden, dirty, cute, a little broken, good temperament, un-fixed, and very very good with Noah and Emma. I asked the neighbors about him and they showed me where the owner lived. She took him inside and told me how he's driving her crazy because he chews through collars and gets out of the yard (which is because he's a puppy and not an outside breed). She mentioned possibly getting rid of him. Lo and behold he wandered back into our yard not too long after that... interesting. I wanted to adopt him because he was unwanted, but shouldn't have been. He was a very sweet dog. I would have called him Jackie I think :) This brings me to a rant. I know I've posted about the way people around here treat their pets. This is a perfect example. This lady didn't want the puppy anymore so she simply let it go. No collar, no tags...

Project 365: Jan 16 - 20

Tuesday, January 16th - more snow and a cotton candy sunset. It wasn't much, but the ice beneath and timing of the snow itself  meant a snow day for the kids! Now that they're teenagers, that precious time is spent catching up on sleep, which makes working from home pretty easy for me. Wednesday, January 17th - the morning light changes throughout the year as the earth moves around the sun. In winter, it peeks in through my living room window and spotlights the entertainment center in warm light.  Thursday, January 18th - Braved the inch of ice on the ground to attend a legislative reception in Annapolis with my coworkers/friends. We spent the day networking, laughing, and planning to save our little section of the Chesapeake Bay watershed here in Southern Maryland. Friday, January 19th - Jug Bay snow day!!! The weather report called for snow to begin falling as school was supposed to just be getting started, so they announced cl...
