I got an award!

Photobucket

My dear friend Mandie gave me this award today. She's one of the sweetest people I know and is always ready to help you out. I love reading her blog, not only to see her 2 beautiful kids but to get tips and bargains too! I wish she lived closer!

The rules of this award are simple:

1. Write 10 honest (and hopefully interesting) things about yourself.
2. Pass this award onto 7 bloggers who you find brilliant in content and design.

In total random order...

1) I talk a good game but never do anything. I always say I want to try do some craft and I'll buy the materials and never do it. I have ribbon and hair clips in my room as I type just waiting to be made into bows for Bella.

2) I'm not an organized person. Never have been. My desk is a disaster and how I find anything is a miracle.

3) No secret here, but I love Disney. I love Disney movies, Disney characters and especially the Disney parks. I could go every. single. weekend if allowed. Just move me into the castle right now!

4) I'm a TV addict. If not for my DVR I wouldn't know what to do. My bedroom is my hiding spot. I love to lay in bed and chill out.

5) I lost over 70 lbs 2 years ago via Weight Watchers. I've since gained back a little over thirty due to pregnancy and not eating right. I'm trying to get back on track though!

6) I love to listen to loud bass music- the kind that makes your trunk thump. Usually it's hip hop, rap or r&b. I do NOT like country music although there are a couple of crossover singers I like.

7) I'm already getting grey silver hairs at the ripe age of 34 ... ahem 29. Yes, I cover those suckers up!

8) If given the money I would totally do plastic surgery. Lipo, LASIK, boob lift and who knows what else.

9) I want a 4th child but I know I will probably never have him/her due to space constrictions and lack of money. Maybe if the economy ever turns around and dh gets more money we can look into it again. We'd need to add onto our house though and we don't have that kind of moola laying around.

10) My husband and I only dated for a few months (2-3?) before getting engaged and we were married one year from our engagement date. We'll be married 10 years in May. :)

So now I have to pick 7 other people. I'm going to follow Mandie's trend though and just pick one. I like this person's blog as she has such a sense of humor and I just love to see what she'll write next. She's also a great friend in real life. This award goes now to my friend Julie.

Murphy's Law

When you say there's nothing going on, something inevitably will happen. About 12:30am or so Bella woke up screaming. Totally unlike her so I got up to go comfort her and she was burning up. Dh grabbed some Motrin for her and I nursed her. Put her back down and only 30min later if that she was up again. Dh got up and went to sit in the recliner with her hoping they could both get some sleep. A bit later, I don't know how long since I fell back asleep, I hear her screaming again. So I got her from dh, checked her temp (100.7 or so) and tried nursing her again while he went back to sleep. She finally fell asleep again (I dozed off as well) and when I put her down, she stayed down until about 7am. She's still running a fever but otherwise she seems okay- just tired. Why won't this damn germ go away?! I'm exhausted and I know dh is even worse. He only got a few hours of sleep last night. He even contemplated calling in this morning but went in anyway.

On a good note, Logan was honored with an Gold Medal Award today for high achievement in reading. One student from each class was honored for either reading, math, science or writing. I'm a proud Mama!! They get an actual medal with their school name engraved on the back and when they get back to their classrooms they will be given a certificate as well. Ian was very good thru the 45min or so presentation and even though Bella isn't feeling well, she didn't make a peep. I'll say it again, I love wearing her. It keeps her so calm and I think she loves being that close to me. She eventually fell asleep right on my chest.

And the pictures (someone remind me to bring my SLR next time!!)

These are his classmates with our Principal, Mr Shields.
