A New Book?

This year has been a little strange for me. I sort of feel like I closed the book on one part of my life and now starting another book. I've had parts/stages of my life that I've felt like it's a new chapter but this year feels different like all new.
Maybe cuz we are done having kids we have our three little ones now we get to watch them grow. Maybe it's cuz now I know for sure I'm strong and more confident about myself. Whatever the reason I feel like my life is beginning a new.

Another thing that has been weighing heavy on my mind is that this year marks ten years since my mom past. It also marks ten years till I'm the same age that my mom was when she found out she had breast cancer so I feel a bit at a cross roads tho it's not a type that I'm forced to choice one over the other, it's just straight on to whatever life has in store for us.

Round Three

Round One
About two weeks ago I went in the garage to do some laundry. I opened the door started to walk in when I heard a HIIISSS sound right by my ear, I turned to find a snake(black racer) right by my face(about an inch not even joking) it was going from the top shelf to the middle shelf of this unit that is right by the door. I stepped back and was jumping up and down going "O MY GOD! O MY GOD!" Now I'm not scared of snakes it just scared the hell out of me(that's putting it nicely). I then went on to call my father-in-law to come over and help me. Of course by the time he came over(which was only about 3 mins later) Mr. Snakie(as I've named him) was gone. I left the door open the rest of the day and any time I had to go into the garage I would open the door look in for him then go in. Mr. Snakie 1/ Me 0

Round Two
A few days later I again was doing some laundry and I saw his little head, hubby was home so I ran in the house to have him come try and get him out. M tried to grab Mr. Snakie but ended up pissing Mr Snakie off so he keep trying to bite M so M couldn't get him. Then Mr. Snakie managed to get away by going towards the front of the garage. Mr. Snakie 2/Me 0

Round Three
Today (again I was doing laundry) I heard Mr. Snakie close to my feet by the washer and dryer no less! He saw me and backed up to try and hide tho I saw him. I called my father-in-law but then went in the house to keep an eye on M while I waited, and Mr. Snakie managed to go hide somewhere else, I should have just stayed in there watching him so he didn't move.

So the total Mr. Snakie 3/Me 0....Next time!!

Time

Well it's been a month since I last posted not to bad I guess! Life has been.....crazy and heck it. Half the time it's almost 10pm before I get a real breather. I get moments here and there through out the day that I'll check my mail and check my forums for a few mins but nothing that I could really sit and do something. At the moment N and M are playing nicely, L is napping, and I don't have to start dinner for another 20mins so I'm taking this time to blog.

L is now 5 months old! Two weeks ago he was 16lbs 8oz, and he also get his first two teeth two days apart. He has rolled over, but only a handful of times, he's a very laid back baby! He LOVES to laugh and giggle. He also loves to babble and do raspberries which I still have no clue where he learned it from! He started solids a few weeks ago his fave(just like his siblings) is sweet potatoes. He's also had peaches, squash(which we think makes his eczema flare up), carrots, and avocado(which he HATES).

L 5 months old!

N turned 6! I can't believe he's that old! He's doing great in school and he loves it. He's learning so much. He also LOVES to learn about animals I mean really learn about them. He loves books that tell you all about the animals from were they live and what they eat to their physical attributes. And he loves learning about wild animals, sharks, snakes, lions, bats, bears, all those type of animals. He also loves to color! He's pretty much always drawing or wanting to watch a show about animals.

N coloring in his coloring pad he got from his best friend

M is doing pretty good too. She's been having some issues with not listening lately and also having drama over little baby things. Which has been very tiring on mommy's patience's. I'm starting to worry about what I'm going to do with her and preschool. Our preschooling this yr hasn't gone so well. Tho I'm sure having L hasn't helped at all, as we are all still trying to find a good schedule for everyone and everything. So do I do homeschooling Pre-K next yr(and I HAVE to be good about really doing school with her)or try and find a program for her. So that's were I am with that!

That's the short of life around here.

Having No Blogging Love

I've thought about blogging many times over the last few months, but the desire has just been sucked out of me. The whole reason I started this blog was to make it easier for me to keep my family and close friends updated on the kids(mostly M since she was having so many things/dr appointments going on). More then anyone it was for my grandma since I was having a hard time finding a quite moment to call this way she could just jump online whenever she had time. Over the years I've been slacking but trying to update at lest every couple months. Since L came I was planning on being good and updating monthly about him. But that's the thing about plans they don't always happen.

At the end of Oct my uncle emailed me(and other family members)about how my grandma had been sick for a few weeks and has been in the hosptial. A few days later I emailed him back(since w/three kids it's hard to get a quite moment to hear or talk to anyone), I asked how she was and if she should get really bad let me know I would want to see her. He emailed me back saying she was finally eating, not much but eating so that was a really good thing. Then on Nov 9th(my mom's birthday) he called me to tell me she was getting worse and if I wanted to see her I should make plans to come pretty soon. At that time it seemed more like with in the next month come. The next 24hrs were just a world wind! After I talked to him I jumped on the computer tried to figure out a flight, where I could stay all that fun stuff. I had planned it for 4 weeks later since that was the cheapest. I called him back to let him know the plans when he let me know she had gotten really bad that night and I needed to make it sooner. We thought for a moment maybe that weekend, but since it was just a few days away the prices were crazy, so I planned for L and me to fly out the next weekend. She only made it a few more days to Monday the 15th, when I got the call from my brother she had passed away. I was and in all truth still am upset that I didn't get to see her or even talk to her to tell her L had been born. I'm sure my uncle told her, but I didn't get to. I hadn't talk to her since about 2months before L was born every other time I tried calling she didn't answer.

Anyways, my uncle was wonderful and held the funeral on the weekend since I would be in, plus it make it so one of my other cousins was able to drive in for it. It was a nice little ceremony. Since I've been home the kids and the holidays have kept me busy. Then add in that I really haven't(nor do I really have the emotional strength to) really truly deal and come to terms that my grandma-the last connection to my mom-is gone.

In short I haven't really felt like blogging nor did I feel like there is anyone left to read and care about it, but I've realized that really the blog is for me. If someone reads it that's wonderful(and thank you) if not it's ok!
