...sickness is almost completely gone! Thankfully. Michael got sick right before Christmas so by Christmas day I was getting sick. I'm just now feeling completely normal again except for a slightly runny nose. The flu-ish part lasted for 3 or 4 days. By New Years I was feeling human again and it seemed I just had a cold or allergies perhaps. But ( Read more... )

...Weird...almost time to have two kids! And I've realized that anytime I bring my husband somewhere to hang out with my friends I feel like the odd one out. My own fault though I'm sure. We had a pretty great Christmas but I came down with the flu so I've been pretty blah. Michael bought me a necklace! A delicate heart on a delicate chain with a ( Read more... )

Trying to decide about one of Michael's presents. I want to give him something big this year if I get enough money...I've been thinking about two different options. Both are in the Seattle area. One would be getting to ride and actually fly a helicopter (the airplanes are all way more expensive-plus his best friend is a flight instructor so I think ( Read more... )

I got that dress-up dress in the mail today and it is GORGEOUS!!!!!!!!! I am SOOOOO excited to give it to her now! I don't know how I'm going to be able to wait until Christmas! Lol! I got a pair of little dress-up shoes to go with it too. They're red with a little picture of Snow White on them. But they go really well with the dress (I figured if ( Read more... )

It's just been one of those days...one of those weeks really. Every second seems to be a millenium. I have nothing to make crafts with with Rachel and it's too early to start decorating. I've washed the cat and mopped the floor already. So now I'm on here to make a list of things that will help pass the time ( Read more... )

I can't believe that tomorrow Rachel will be 16 months old!! She's getting so old! She asleep right now in her big girl toddler bed with her Disney Princess comforter over her and her head on a pillow holding her Pooh bear... It was so funny! Rachel can say so many words and can talk in two-three word sentences and I've even heard her just recently ( Read more... )

a Christmas present that I bought for Rachel online just now! :-) I'm putting together a few things to start a dress-up collection for her. I have a couple crowns that were a dollar each and am going to buy a fairy wand at Target for a couple dollars. I have some shoes I'll just let her have. She has her Halloween costume already and a bigger ( Read more... )

...if I like that wedding ring or not...now that I see the picture it looks different to me. Sometimes I think I like it and some times I'm not so sure. It does look bigger than it is in real life...at least to me it does. Argh! This is going to drive me insane until the rings come in and I can see if I like them or not. It's a different style than ( Read more... )

So Rachel woke up around 2am. Now she won't go back to sleep. But she's not what so frustrating. It's my husband. He had me stay with her while he got some cold milk and when he got back he was mad at me because I didn't leave right away and let him take over. I was just putting her back in bed when she got out and telling her she needed to stay in ( Read more... )

God please help me get through this!!!! I can't do it alone and You're the only one who doesn't leave me.

...Jess passed away.
