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!

Turkey Day is gone already!?!?!

So, I can't believe Thanksgiving has already happened! I swear just a few days ago it still seemed like it was forever away! This is so exciting because the faster time flies the quicker my husband will be home! I'm a little disappointed that the plans fell through and (apparently) he will no longer be home for Christmas :(. But, I suppose we can just hold it late.....poor Killian! He's not going to appreciate having to wait to open his presents!! He might understand though. Anyways, I had a fabulous weekend! Heather was generous enough to invite me and the boys over for Thanksgiving with her and her sister and the rest of thier family, and Ms. Ashley. We had fun, I think the best part was watching Ashley try to play guitar hero....haha. Then my Aunt, cousin and her son came to visit Friday! They just left a few hours ago, and we had a great time while they were here. We even managed to finally get my living room rearranged so I'll have the perfect place for my Christmas tree. I think I like it this way a TON better, it seemed so small and kind of dark before and now it looks much better and more open! Well, that's pretty much all that's been happening. I can't wait until next month!

It's been a while.

So, I haven't posted in a while. Well, Megan left today and we had a great time with her while she was here. Her husband was able to fly out and spend 2 days here as well, so that was exciting, especially for Killian who hasn't had any male attention in months. He definitely loved seeing his Aunt and Uncle! (Although he made it quite clear that Chris was his favorite grown up...my belief is because he didn't get on to him for anything, lol.) The kids and I are having a great time. Connor finally popped a fourth tooth! Man was he incredibly fussy the last day and 1/2.....I'm seriously not kidding, I was worried that my perfect baby was changing and not for the better! (How could he get better?? haha.) And Killian is doing awesome in school. He's got his test on word list 9 Friday and hopefully he will pass, then only 2 to go!! I know I blog about these word lists a lot, but that's because they are annoying! I did a little online shopping today and got a killer deal on a coat for Killian. They had fleece lined coats that were normally $60 on sale for $15, and I got him a dinosaur raincoat, umbrella and rain boots that were also on sale hella cheap. Normally just the coat runs $28 and I got all 3 items for $30!! I also did some mad Gymboree shopping, and Ashley can say what she will, but the clothes were effing cute! Connor got basically everything he will need for the rest of winter....but I might go back and get just a few more things that I want that I didn't see before. I also earned some more Gymbucks so life is exciting!! I love shopping, I really might need therapy....NOT retail though, like real therapy, haha. That's pretty much all I've done lately. I'm thinking Friday or Saturday night I'll take the boys to the laser light show at the planetarium. Killian really wants to see the Guitar Hero one. I feel bad because the tiny fair is back in town, and we drive by it almost every time we go somewhere, and he REALLY wants to go, but we went last year and it sucked! It's so small, and he always wants to ride the bigger rides because there aren't many kids rides, and he can't because he's too small, then we leave with him disappointed that he couldn't ride anything else. Also, I would have to ride some rides with him and I have no one to watch Connor while I do that, + I just think it's not worth the money. Ok, enough rambling about the fair! Well, my sister FINALLY got married last Friday (yes, on my birthday....you can tell how much she really loves me!) and I'm super excited for her. They should be getting back from thier honeymoon tomorrow so I'm excited to hear all about it. It was a bummer I wasn't able to make it home for the wedding though. And I just found out my cousin is getting married next month and he and his fiance are planning on trying to start a family in March! That is incredibly exciting because he will make one helluva dad! He's wanted kids for a while now, and I felt a little guilty last time I saw him because his first marriage ended over children (he wanted them, she didn't) and I was pregnant, and it was still a pretty new situation (being a divorcee) for him, so I'm very happy for him and his bride to be! Well, that's about all I have to blog about for now. Hope all is well.

Updates!

I updated some past blogs. I put new pics and in the "Sleepy", ""....Shiners", and "Busy" blogs and I'm currently posting a video of the babies at the bottom of the "Sleepy" blog. I think I also added some to the "Halloween" blog too.....idk, I'm tired! Well, we had a great holiday and I can't wait until Thanksgiving. I'm contemplating going up to OK for that, but we'll see. Then it will only be a few weeks until I finally get to see my husband! I'm so excited, I just can't wait. Even though we had our first "official" phone fight the other day....it was stupid and petty, just nonsense that's irking both of us....speaking of, does anybody want a Saturn SC something or other??....anywho, lol, I know this doesn't make a lick of sense, but the Saturn is one of our topics of disagreement right now. I think the stress is starting to get to him, he's really disliking the location that he's in. I hope there's a remedy to that issue SOON! Not just for him but the people with him and/or in the same boat as him. It's just a bad situation for all involved. Anywho, hopefully he'll be doing better ASAP. That's pretty much it for now, I'm so incredibly tired, we had more Dolch words tonight.....he tests on list 7 tomorrow, then (if he passes) only 4 lists left to learn!! We're over 1/2 way done now! I can't wait for these things to be over, but I can guarantee that as soon as they are, they'll come out with something else that's as equally frustrating and time consuming! Oh well, what can ya do? Kid's gotta get an education, so I guess we'll just be toughing it out for the next 13 years.
