It's the pep squad here

I seriously feel like Debbie Downer lately. The other day Phil was saying how happy he was the weather was warming up. My only comment was, "great-now everyone will get sick." Wuh wuh.

Today is the "anniversary" or whatever of the day sweet Jake died. Miss ya bud.
Everyone else enjoy this weather. Wuh wuh.

Holy Toledo

I just want to make sure all you bloggers have updated your settings so you can upload a ton of pictures at once. It has changed my life.

Go to SETTINGS, BASIC, under GLOBAL SETTINGS make sure the POST EDITOR UPDATE has been selected.

Woot woot!

Sometimes

You get encouraging emails and yummy homemade treats from friends and it just makes your day. THANK YOU!!!

OH. MY. GOSH. It's happening...

I am getting off my lazy, mopey butt and I'm going to exercise. I couldn't find a pair of socks and went to the clean clothes and grabbed a pair. I put them on-and that's when I realized. I am wearing TYLER'S socks. I can fit into my sons socks. My mind is officially blown. Soon I'll be wearing his sweatshirts and maybe his sweats?!?!? Will my baby really be taller than me one day?!?!?! AAAAHHHHHH!!!!

I will be in big trouble for this

But I was just looking at pictures from our Disney Cruise and saw this one and I can't stop laughing. Sorry-can I get a free pass b/c I'm sad?!?!?!??!?! :)

Feeling down

Since this is my journal of sorts I am posting that I'm sad. Depressed. Ticked off. Angry. confused. Scared. My dad has had appointments the last 2 weeks that are just so frustrating and more bad news. They have found more cancer in his body. This just isn't how I saw my parents lives going and it just doesn't seem fair to me. I know it's not fair to anyone. But this is MY dad. So forgive me if I'm distant, grouchy, unfriendly and gloomy. I want to hole up in my house and never ever leave. I'll be praying for my dad, and if you have the chance it would be great if you could to. Whoever YOU are. Who the heck am I even talking to?!?!

Easy Valentine Decoration + Surviving the cold

I thought w/ ice or some other cold something coming from the skies tonight into tomorrow somebody might need an activity to keep the kids busy.
I'm sure you've all done it in school, I had, but I totally forgot about it. I saw it when I was looking at nie nie's blog. It's not all that kid-friendly for the kids to actually do (b/c you're getting crayon shavings, and I couldn't find a pencil sharpener so I used a cheese grater:how will I get that clean you ask? I have NO CLUE, and you use an iron), but mine had fun watching me and asking 8 kazillion questions. And they look so pretty hanging in all of our windows!
I'll post the link b/c then I don't have to take a pic, upload, and write how to do it!!
