1,095 days...

it was 1,095 days ago that we had the privilege to meet the most wonderful little creature...when someone says the third time is the charm, it's true. NoNo is our 3rd child, born in the 3rd month, celebrating his 3rd birthday today; there's just something magical about that. everything about him is wonderful and i'm thankful that i have the opportunity to be his mother (even when he throws himself on the floor kicking and screaming because he can't have cake for breakfast).

Happy Birthday Monkey!!

another 52 weeks...

this is my second attempt at capturing the crazy in our house. 52 weeks, 52 pictures, 52 attempts at capturing our life. it's quite apparent that i need a new camera...

there's no turning back now...

today is March 1st, not that this day has any real significance (well, unless you count the completion of the Hoover Dam back in 1936 or the birth of that little musical cutie Justin Bieber in 1994 - the year i graduated high school). no, this day just marks the beginning of a very crazy  month. i just got off the phone with my specialty pharmacy. one, they wanted to know where to send the giant box of drugs, and two, they wanted to know how i would be paying for that box. after just a few short minutes i had pretty much spent enough for a 5 day all-inclusive vacation, but without the sun, sand, or cocktails. i know this is not going to be a vacation, but now that the box is on it's way, there's no turning back.

for the next month i'll be on a very strict schedule. at first it was a bit overwhelming, but with so many colors, at least it's fun to look at...

now add to that the usual schedule of soccer 5 days a week, baseball, school, and spring break...it's going to be a bit insane. the butterflies have set in...

did we move to Alaska...

something is seriously wrong here. when we moved here i was never expecting this. how is it possible that the weather can be over 100 degrees in August and then drop below 10 in February. if i would have known that i would be stuck in my house (because we can't get the garage door open) for going on 4 days now, i would have never agreed to leave Florida! if i were one who enjoyed the white fluffy frozen water, then i would have moved back to Colorado!

now here comes the best part...i mentioned that we've been beating each other snuggled up in our house for 4 days, which means the kids have not been to school in 4 days, and it's not even a weekend! i love my kids and all, but this is ridiculous!!! i'm not a crafty person, so there's no glue, glitter, scissors, construction paper, or even tape in my house, so, what are the kids doing all day? not eating, because to top off this snow covered crap, we've just about run out of food as well! I QUIT! SUNSHINE COME SAVE ME!
