I'm blaming you

Biggie is free! I had the brilliant idea to take your advice. I'm going to open the screen and show Biggie how his story ends. Well it didn't work out like that, because I am a chicken. Now Biggie is out and roaming around free. He jumped from the grill to the door and almost made me hurt myself. I tried to spray him with cleaner and all that did was piss him off. So now I have a spider that I have made extremely mad roaming free, and he can jump long distances...peachy!

80's day for cheer. Not the best thing in the world but I think I did ok for finding out about it 2 hours before practice. Had she given me more notice that she was having a theme day at practice I could have planned better. But I still think she looked cute.

I was going to wait until Christmas to give these to them, but I couldn't help it. I wanted to give it to them now. How cute are they!? They love them.

So church tonight was good. Lily and Christian really seem to enjoy going to Awanas. Another plus is we eat dinner at church so I don't have to cook :-D

I love you and I miss you! Have a good day.

National Coffee Day!

Now...if I had nothing better to do I totally would have hit every dunkin donuts near us and gotten my free iced coffee from every single one (there are 3) BUT! I didn't I only got one. And it was so so good! It was also very much needed.

Today started out so good and then I don't know what happened. I feel like I just got really stressed out. I'm thinking about shaving the dog...will that stop him from shedding? It is seriously all I can think about, but I really don't want to clean up the mess. But if it will make him stop shedding...I may take him to Petco to be groomed. Just recently I have an unusual hate for all the animal hair...it drives me crazy! The rest of the house looks like a war zone...but the floors gets vacuumed and mopped at least 4 times a week. No one is allowed to wear socks in the house anymore because if I see dog hair on them I freak out...and don't even get me started on the couch. These can't be normal feelings. Poor Lily....I freaked out on her today because I hadn't had a chance to vacuum yet and she got dressed for dance and sat on the floor with her tights on. NOOOOOOOOO they were covered in fur, then I felt bad because I yelled at her and made her take them off and then we were late for dance so we just didn't go. It was bad.

But I am flat exhausted tonight and have A LOT to do tomorrow since it is my "day off". I hope I get to talk to you soon. I miss you so much! I love you!

4 months and 1 day

I cant believe she is 4 months already. She has gotten so big from that tiny little thing we brought home. 

You should see her with the kids. She loves them so much. She is so quiet most of the day...she will talk but she uses her inside voice. As soon as we get the kids from school she is in the back squealing and talking to them so loud. And you should hear if she is trying to get their attention. She's funny.

 Baby selfie. Mondays are busy busy days.

I was able to make some baby food for the week, in the back is apple juice from the apples. That apple juice is so amazingly good.

I am going to get some peaches tomorrow and make peaches for her as well. 

O so I have officially been told I am a mom I don't get nice things. LOL. I was looking at a cardigan online, it was really cute. Anyway, not the point. So I ask Christian which color he likes. He says "I like the black but not for you" I said well which one do you like for me "you don't need that, it is too pretty for you. You have 3 pairs of pants and these mom shirts you're good" O...ok then...thanks for crushing my spirits...RUDE!

Update on the dog bed...guess who's sleeping in the dog bed tonight. ME! No JK. Whiskey got in it all by himself and is passed out. YAY! And he can't throw it around. He tried this morning and it is too heavy...WINNING!

But I love you baby! I miss you a lot tonight! Have a good day.

Whatever happened to lazy Sundays?

I am going to start with the most disappointing part of the day. Whiskey got a new bed. I was so excited for him to see his new bed. He was so excited when it got here....rolling all in it, laying in it. Well now it is bedtime and I moved his old bed out of the bedroom because I am throwing it away tomorrow. Well he followed me all the way out of the room looking at me like I was crazy for taking his bed. Then I put the new one in the room...and he looks at it and walks into the bathroom to sleep. Really...Really dog?!

Hopefully he warms up to his new bed because it isn't going anywhere. I dont think he will be able to tear this one up. At least I hope he won't be able to tear this one up.

Well after church today we had a birthday party. There were so many kids there. It was slightly overwhelming. They had a cake walk, and a pinata. Every pinata Christian has ever encountered he has crushed. So Christian broke the pinata...and...won the cake walk. So we came home with 3 bags full of candy and a huge freaking cake! But I think everyone had a lot of fun. Christian's coach was there and loved on Addison the whole day. He rocked her to sleep and then passed out on the coach with her. It was funny. Pretty sure Mason went home exhausted! Everyone was tired.

Can you believe Addison is already 4 months. :( She is getting so big.

Her jammies are 3-6 months, and fit her just perfectly. She went to bed again right at 8. She is doing really good sleeping through the night. Now if I could just get to bed earlier I think I wouldn't feel so exhausted all the time.

I am going to the gym late tomorrow...from 1030-1130...incase you got a chance to call.

I love you baby! I miss you so much. I can't wait until you are home and I can just lay with you and have you here. Goodnight!

Stupid phone!

Well I have a lot of videos and pictures from today to share with you, but my stupid phone died while I was trying to upload all of them

That's how I feel about that. LOL

Today's game was stressful. Poor Addison has had a really rough week. She is usually a trooper when it comes to the football games. Today...I honestly think she cried almost the entire first game. Slept the first half of the second and cried off and on the second half.

O MAN! One of the Jax Beach kids got hurt really bad...they had to call rescue. Rescue drove onto the field to get the kid off. So Scary! At first they were saying they thought he broke his neck, then he tried to sit up. So at least that was a little bit of a relief. But it was still so scary. I could not imagine how that boys mom felt.
Christian was down for a minute and I freaked...I couldn't imagine going through what she went through.
So...Christian caught someone's pads or helmet to the side of his neck during a tackle...he has a bruise across the side of his neck. But typically when he is slow getting up I don't worry about it because if he was really hurt the coaches would be rushing over to him and actually tending to him right. What scared me was...the coaches surrounding my kid and helping him up, hugging him, rushing trying to get his helmet off for him. I was scared all of a second...then when I was able to talk to him I was ok...he only sat out one play.
He had been getting yanked around the whole game by the same kid...I told him that kid is eatin you up...he's out there tellin all his buddies how he is tougher than you are. Get out there and prove him wrong. After that...I don't think he touched the ground once. He was all over that kid. But my really proud moment was when he was asked to lead all of the teams in prayer after the game. :)
It was really windy, hopefully you can hear it.

 This is what happens when you run around barefoot like a little hillbilly. You get sand spurs in your feet. Poor thing, he hobbled back over to us with them stuck all in his socks "I should have worn shoes"

 I love this picture of these two. They both look so happy.

O this picture...I LOVE! It is just perfect. She loves him so much

 I tried to get some video of Lily today, since most of the Saturday posts revolve around the football game itself.

mom videoed the half time routine...not me.
https://youtu.be/y4uT9J3saHw

Alright babe well I have Mason tomorrow too. So if you wanted to call in the morning and talk to him or them we will be leaving for just at 830, so 330 your time.
I love you and have a good day

If it has a name does that mean I have to keep it?

So we decided to name the spider. He can't live there and be a grumpy neighbor and not have a name. This is how that conversation played out...just two dorks with over active imaginations

He can still leave or die anytime he wants though. I would rather him be gone. 

So I printed that picture for the kids. I printed 2 for their school projects and then a couple for them to keep. Christian literally cried when he got his picture. I am not supposed to tell you that, he told me not too. I was even able to snap a picture of it, then he got mad and told me to delete it. But they were both so happy...they put your face in their little voodoo dolls :) 

Not much more exciting happened today. Friday family dinner with the football team went well. Addison actually took a nap so when practice was over she was not freaking out. It was nice. O and Christian got to lead warm ups tonight I got a little video of it...he takes his job seriously. It's cute.

 Whiskey kissin on his tiny human. They love each other now.

Christian playing with Addison's monitor.

I forgot coach stopped the warm ups so I didn't get much of him leading them. One kid wasn't participating so coach stopped them and made them run a lap since whoever didn't want to do his warm ups. But we are have our homecoming game next weekend. They are doing a regular homecoming court and everything so that should be fun. 

But I hopefully will get to talk with you later. I love you! I miss you so much! Goodnight baby!

O.M.G!

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY.....Why is he there?! Why can't he just die? He is so big and when you walk to the door he gets all aggressive and throws those big hands up like "What...Whatchu gonna do? That's right...nothin...just walk away" I couldn't find him when the AC man was here or I was going to beg him to kill him for me. LOL

Well the AC works again...YAY! It was exactly what you said it was. That drain was clogged. But when he unclogged it, he said it was really really bad. He cleaned the air filter for me too.

So good news is Christian does not have a sinus infection. He does have really bad allergies though. She said his nose bleeds are from his allergies and him blowing his nose a lot. I have been putting coconut oil in his nose and his dr said to keep doing that and to get him a humidifier for times like this. So he is going to use my diffuser while we wait for a humidifier. They are expensive so I am getting one off of amazon. But I figured we could all probably benefit from having one at one time or another.

It's Squints!!!
He told me to make sure I sent that to you.
O which reminds me, you forgot to send us a picture for their projects.

I don't know why but it took a lot for me to post this here. I was playing with editing functions on my phone while I was waiting to get the kids from school.

She loves playing with them. I think they are too rough with her but she loves it.

Well I definitely am going to the gym in the morning I get out at 1030 if you are available.
I love you and I hope I get to talk to you tomorrow. I miss you!

I see a theme here

Well it is official, poor Addison is reallllllllly teething. No more of these well I'm just going to drool alot and be grumpy days. Now we are fully into our I hate my life, everything sucks. I'm going to sleep and when I'm not sleeping I'm going to make you wish I was sleeping. Drool more than the dog, have a tiny fever, disgusting diapers, chew on EVERYTHING teething stage. Poor baby she was so miserable today. She slept in today which I thought was odd but I wasn't going to question it because today is the day that she can sleep in. So she gets up and when I am picking her up from the Y they say...she isn't her normal happy self today, and she kind of feels like she has a tiny fever. I think she may be teething. I tell them yes I believe she is teething. We get in the car she sleeps all the way home, comes home, eats, sleeps until 230, is a grump until about 430. Just a long day for her.

So we have started going to church on Wednesday nights...I kind of wanted to be lazy on wednesdays. But the kids have requested to go to church....how can I tell them no I am not taking you to church. So on Wednesdays we will be eating dinner at church now and they are doing Awanas. They had a really good time tonight. I ran into Pastor Todd, he told me to tell you hello and that he has been praying for you.

I am so unimaginably exhausted I can hardly keep my eyes open. I am just emotionally exhausted. The AC is not working now...yay!

That is how I feel about that!

So...when I worked at the CU I did a lot of loans for someone who owns an AC business....so I called him. He is supposed to come out tomorrow and look at it. Luckily it is not 100 degrees outside. It was only like 77 today I think. So it was hotter inside the house than it was outside. I thought I was going to have to have the kids sleep in our bed down stair and Addison and I sleep on the couch because it was 83 upstairs when we left for church. But when we came home it was 77 and it feels like it is cooling down fast now. Hopefully they will be comfortable. I have all their doors open and all the fans on.

So I talked to Mason's mom today, I do get Mason this weekend so that is good. We also talked about the Gator game in Nov...she said she didn't see a reason why he couldn't come with us that weekend too. So that is exciting. She is going to bring him by the football games after his practice on Saturday.

I love you and I miss you! I hope I get to talk to you soon. Have a good day.

Fat Shaming

I didn't know what to title this post and this was the worst thing that happened today. So there is a little chubby girl on the cheer squad. I'll start with that. Well all the girls have yoga mats that they sit on because the grass makes them itchy when they sweat. So the girl forgot her yoga mat to sit on. There was a little black girl who had a big blanket that girls were hanging out on. So she goes over there and asks if she can sit with them...and the little black girl says "this blanket is only for skinny girls...you're too fat"
OMG! kids are awful! the coaches just mad a compliment circle...they sat and they talked about how words hurt. Everyone had to tell one time someone said something mean about them and how it made them feel and then tell a time someone said something good about you and how you felt. I don't think that is a wrong way to handle it, but if that girl was not addressed directly about what she said she will never understand that what she did was wrong.

On a lighter note, Christian has 2 loose teeth...TWO! He is so excited.

He also apparently is sick. So I made a dr's appointment for him. They said they can't get him in until Thursday. I am going to call again tomorrow to see if they had any cancellations. I think he has a sinus infection. Poor baby, his nose started bleeding this afternoon and bled until he went to bed. I couldn't get it to stop, but it wasn't like a steady flow nose bleed. It was like he had a sinus infection. I feel bad for him, he hadn't said anything about not feeling well. I knew he was stuffy but I figured it was his allergies, it's that time of year. Apparently not. 

I think I may throw Whiskey's bed away and get him a new one. I am tired of picking up the stuffing. It gets frustrating. 

But I love you, and I miss you so much. Christian wanted me to tell you that he misses you a lot and he wishes you could come home.

Birthday fun

This one is my favorite. Mason looks TERRIFIED

Ok so I definitely wanted all these pictures to be at the bottom of the post. But that obviously back fired in my face. I realized earlier when I was having my meltdown that I didn't post anything yesterday like I said I would.

I am so happy the birthday funtivities are over and done with for now. Midterms are over and done. I feel like I have a minute to breath. I am sure something else will come up. But I am ready for things to settle down.

Whiskey is having a really hard time getting around lately. I feel bad for him. I am tempted to call the vet but they've said a few times there is nothing they can do for him. So he basically has to walk around in pain all the time? That makes me feel horrible.

O so I finally made an appointment to get to the dentist...it ofcourse is in 4 weeks. I'm nervous :(

I am not sure I could love this picture more. A sports photographer came out to our last game and got this photo. There are a bunch more, but this one is my favorite. All of the parents got to see the pictures today, and Christian was the talk of group wall.

We are apparently having a homecoming game in 3 weeks. It will be the last game the cheerleaders have to attend. It sounds like it is going to be pretty cool...each age group will have a homecoming court before the games and kings and queens will be named. It is just a big fundraising event though, but it is exciting. We had to buy Lily's competition jacket tonight. I swear it never ends. The 2 extra curriculars she absolutely loves are the 2 that always have their hands out for more money. O well, at least she has something she in interested.

I should be home tomorrow before you are done with work. I should have my phone around 11. I go straight to the y after dropping the kids off tomorrow morning. Just wanted to let you know incase you get a free moment.

I love you baby and I miss you so much. Have a good day.
