I'm so far behind... i thought i was first!

Things have been crazy hectic around the Shaw residence.. and when I say im busy... i mean im busy!!..
I havent had time for anything...not even alone time.. literally i go pee with either a kid or a dog following me... That is if i ever have time to pee... I mean i forget to eat.. yes i get hungry but by the time i get to eat.. i no longer want it or have the appetite i once had.. and speaking of food.. my poor husband... I havent cooked for him lately.. because by the time i can its 8pm..and well im not slaving over a stove then..so its whatever you can find or frozen stuff!.. Sooo since this week is the last week of anything really going on..we are going grocery shopping & im getting actual groceries.. not frozen dinners nothing of the sorts.. im getting good ol comfort food!!.. & veggies.. lots of healthy veggies!
I hoping once im back in a routine.. that sis will get in a better sleeping habit.. because lets face it.. she is a night owl..well heck a day owl to.. because she NEVER sleeps!..given yes she is getting over a sickness (RSV) so she has been held alot.. and has had ALOT of attention..which has made living with kyson...well to put it bluntly..HELL!!.
You can really see the jealousy come out when she gets all the attention..and you also notice hes into EVERYTHING!.. i mean i look forward to taking showers at night because thats the only alone time i get!..where i dont have to deal with anything!..
He had his surgery on his ears.. thy put tubes back in!.. so i know he can hear me when i tell him no! Wether he choices to listen is up to him...lets just say it doesnt always work out in his favor!.
Braylee has made a full recovery with her RSV.. just a runny nose here and there..THANK GOODNESS!.. she was supposed to get shots today but the doctor got tied up..so she goes in a couple weeks!..
Saturday i go to the dentist for 4 teeth to get fixed..yes 4!!.. YIKES!.. then tuesday me and my good friend jessica (yes same name) are taking Kyson to the circus.. and thats it.. thats all my plans..so far.. knock on wood.. fingers uncrossed!.. for the month of april!..
So since i have obviously slacked and failed at the 30 day blog challenge i am hoping to get caught back up!.. Blogging and a glass of wine..really helps me clear my head!.. lol..
I had a great visit to missouri...this past weekend.. but i missed my hubby and im glad to be home.. i got to relax some.. but it was more going and doing than anything!.. now im back to mommy 24/7!

Day 3- 30 day blog challenge-your first love!


I will say this.. my hubby is my first TRUE love... I didnt know what love was until I met him... I thought i was in love many times... but man was i wrong!
My first "love" was through highschool..3yrs.. Ryan was his name..
Lets just say.. all my first's were with him... He was a bad boy.. I met him when i was on a date with another guy.. lol.. however the guy i was on a date with left me because his curfew was earlier than mine.. So since ryan had caught my eye.. i stayed :) ... We had MANY ups but way more downs...
I loved his family & his friends.. and the times we spent together.. but he also got me into alot of trouble.. broke my heart numerous times.. I cried over him more times than any girl should cry over a guy.. but like i said it was highschool.. he started doing drugs.. lost his job.. didnt look for another.. cheated on me.. this that and the other... and we grew apart.. i grew up.. he didnt.. I havent seen him since may of 2007.. after the death of my best friend... i ran into him..and believe it or not.. it was nice to talk to someone who had understood me so much for so long! I havent talked or seen him since... i honestly dont know what id say to him if i saw him today...But like i said.. it wasnt love... i didnt know love until now.. and i can honestly say that my husband saved me.. and made me the women i am today...and im happy to say im proud of who i am and what ive become! :)

I wine because you whine!

A cheap bottle of wine is like a good therapist!
Sometimes you just need to vent.. in your own little world.. mine would be a hot bubble bath or the comfort of my bed.. either one.. its my own world!
It may just be in my head but that small glass of wine does wonders to melt away the stress of the day!
And today is by far one of those days...
Its such a jumbled mess of randomness thats going on in my head today!
My kids are sick & cranky, im sick and cranky, the dogs a pain in the ass.. and i have a million places to go and a million things to do!
Housework..laundry... housework...laundry... dr apt here dr apt there!
Its a never ending story!
Oh and not to mention my hubby hates his job and in return he is very pissy..YAY me!
Kyson gets tubes put back in his ears tomorrow..so i did manage to go to old navy after his pre-op appt today... however i bought for the kids and not myself like usual..
Home now and should be cleaning.. but like i said.. to much on my mind
Braylee has a appt. this afternoon because her RSV is acting up again... which stresses a mommy out! (even more)
My little brother.. 17yrs old... thinks hes a adult.. and is making "adult" decisions.. not something i want to get into on here.. lets just say he needs ALOT of prayers...so please pray!...
Today i am thankful that i live in a town that no one knows me.. and that ive let my hair grow out...because its def a no makeup-hair up..t-shirt kind of day!

Day 2 of the 30 day blog challenge!



Something you want to do before you die!







                        I have ALWAYS wanted to go to New Zealand.. which requires flying..
I have never been out of the states of Missouri, Arkansas & Oklahoma.. within a 8hr drive total
So obviously i have never flown before.. so why not 2 birds with one stone?
New Zealand is a amazing place to me.. its beautiful
Not to mention-so much to do!..
You have the ocean & the mountains..
& you cant just come home at the drop of a dime!
One of these days when im rich i will do this!
Until then.. ill dream!

Braylee Slept the entire time..and since it was windy she stayed covered up..
Kyson managed to get some candy & beads from the parade..
All in all a lazy family day...but it works for us!..what do you do on saturdays for fun?

The rugrats!

Slighty unusual

I have so much on my mind, but not a clue on where to start!
I will start with the basics, Im a mother & a wife.. a mother to two beautiful children.. Kyson Todd- 2half & Braylee Kay 6wks!
I am a army wife-to the best soldier in the army (to me anyways)
Home-"Home is where the army sends us"...as of now we live in fort smith arkansas...soon "home" will be Fort Campbell Kentucky (i cant wait)
We are originally from missouri which makes us MIZZOU fans!
I stay at home with our kids-which is by far the hardest job i have EVER had!

A little of the basics-101 on me as to say
  • -I love to cook-when i have time for it, if im rushed just stay out of the kitchen
  • I dont know what I did before i drank wine-it truly helps calm my much stressed out nerves
  • I stress & worry Alot..and about Everything!..and i do mean everything

  • Im a little OCD...i have to do things a certain way everytime..and im constantly cleaning
  • I could sleep for days- if given the chance..i have a feeling it'll never happen
  • Im a lover & a fighter... I love to Love..however im even better at picking a fight
  • I have a love hate relationship with the army..i love to hate it!
  • I love animals as long as there not mine.. i have no time for pets (yet we have a dog)
  • Im really good at doing laundry..i refuse to put it up
  • I have the biggest sweet tooth EVER..and my dentist loves me for it
  • Im addicted to anything and everything Facebook
  • Paypal is my best & worst friend..as is my debit card
  • I dont have many girl friends..as i get tired of keeping up..
  • brings me to my next point..im a home body!.. i love staying at home!
