1 more day until Christmas!!

Haha. So, my husband will be home TOMORROW! I have no idea what time, which is driving me INSANE, but I am so over the moon nothing is really bothering me, not even the fact that Killian's room is still a mess and I haven't finished the dishes! I'm sure it will get done before he gets home, and if it doesn't I highly doubt he'll care. So, we're waiting until tomorrow to open our gifts and me and the big boy cannot wait! I'm so excited to see him open his presents. It was a little sad because on Christmas morning I left 4 gifts unwrapped and just put bows on them so the boys could at least get something on Christmas day, but Elliott wouldn't miss out on any actual gift openings. Well, Killian got a Rubik's cube and a Bakugan which he was totally into, but he quickly got this very sad and somewhat disappointed look on his face and he said "Mom, I think Santa forgot my Nintendo DS"......it was a little heartbreaking! But I think it's awesome because he should be even more thrilled to find out that he actually did not forget! Connor got a shape sorter and a spinny thing that he kinda likes but doesn't really care too much about....be quiet Ashley! I know exactly what you're thinking! So anywho, tomorrow should be a really awesome day! I told Elliott that I don't care what time it is, or what mood he's in, he had better run into the house, put on the Christmas jammies and let this boy open his stuff! Well, that's really all for now, and it's 2 am so I think I should probably go crash so I have a buttload of energy for tomorrow. Hope everyone is doing well and everyone had a fabulous holiday! Next up, a drunken post from New Year's! lmao.

Santa's loading up the sleigh!

Ahhhh, I can't believe Christmas is almost here! I have yet to wrap a single present....I know it's bad but the only time to do it is when the kids go to bed and usually I stay up for a little to have some quiet time and then hit the sack myself, lol. I am so excited! Tomorrow Heather and her family are coming over to do cookies for Santa, I have to go to the PX and I need to run to Walmart and finish some stuff around the house, but I did finally get my tree put up! I think it looks really pretty aside from the fact that it doesn't have a topper quite yet. Oh well, it will get one tomorrow :). So Killian is way excited and Connor is in a much better mood lately. My Mother in law made it through her back surgery A-OK and my husband will be home in just a few more days!! I seriously don't think there's much that can pull me from this cloud right now! But for now I need to get so I can make Killian go to sleep so I can finally start to wrap some of these gifts! (Maybe w/ a couple of presents on top of it Connor won't think the tree skirt is a blanket and he'll quit pulling on it! I can't tie the ribbons on the back because the tree is too low to the ground and too close to the window for me to reach, lol). Hope everyone has an awesome Christmas or whatever Holiday you celebrate and a great New Year's!

I'm so excited!

So, I'm in a SUPER good mood! I am so looking forward to this next week, which I have a huge feeling will just fly by! I can't wait until Santa comes! I'm completely done shopping, I think and all that has yet to come in the mail is Killian's Santa gift....a Nintendo DS! He's going to freak out, that is the ONLY thing he has asked for and the only thing he really, really, wants. I just can't wait until he gets it. I have no idea what to put in Connor's stocking! That's the only thing I haven't bought....so I guess I'm a liar and I haven't finished my shopping, but I'm really at a loss as to what to put in a 9 month olds stocking. I think I might do bathtub toys or something. Oh well, I don't have much else to write about, but I do have to finish fluffing my tree, yes I know I put it up like a week and 1/2 ago and still haven't finished fluffing and decorating it....and I have to wrap all of these presents! Oh yeah, and I also LOVE Heather to death! She came and cleaned my carpets for me this evening and they're all one color!!!!!!!!! And it isn't black!!!! lol. Ahhh, the excitement! I feel like a kid waiting for the first day of school! I have no idea how I'm going to sleep tonight! I'd also like to congragulate Bernie on the birth of Slade! He is soooooo cute and he makes the most adorable noises ever! Hope everyone is feeling as great as I am!

Just not good.

So, I found out last Tues. that my Grandmother (on my father's side) passed away Saturday the 29th. I drove to Oklahoma first thing Wednesday morning so I could make the funeral that was at 2 pm that day. It was a very nice service and I'm really glad that through the magic of the internet (Myspace no less) they were able to find me and tell me the news before it was too late for me to make it. It would have been awful not to have been able to go so I'm very grateful for that. I was also abnle to see tons of family that I haven't seen in a LONG time. In a better world we would have gotten together under more happy circumstances, but at least I still got to see them. We made it home around 6 pm. Sunday night and now we're just trying to get readjusted and back in the swing of things. That little out of nowhere trip really threw us for a loop! All of our schedules got messed up not to mention the house that I can't seem to clean because the only time the baby isn't crying is when I'm holding him! He's teething and (apparently) sick w/ something because he's thrown up twice since Saturday. I know it's wierd! He threw up once Saturday morning so we put him on juice for the rest of the day, he did fine Sunday, then he woke up this morning and only drank about 1/4 of his cup, then he went back to sleep for a little while, then he woke up again and still only drank about 1/4 of a cup. I managed to get him to drink about 1/2 of it and the he was just crying and fussy and finally he coughed a few times and just threw up all over me (sorry to be graphic, no other way to explain, lol) so I put him back on juice and he's been fine. He won't eat solids either though so I hope this goes away fast! And if it doesn't I suppose we'll be back at the dr's office. This is just craziness though! The poor fella has 2 front teeth coming and he is just not happy! Hopefully he'll be back to himself soon! Well, that's pretty much it for now. Hope everyone is doing great!
