a hair cut has happened.... it was not with Kaylin or mom or dad... it was Tre.
Tre got a hair cut yesterday... nothing new, not a big deal in any way other than the fact that DAD cut Tre's hair.
Dad is not a hair stylist... or a barber!
This isn't going where you think it's going...
Dad was fixing the hair cut that TRE GAVE HIMSELF!!!
YES that's right... the 4 1/2 year old boy during craft time at school decided he was going to CUT OFF HIS WIDOWS PEAK...
he said i am sorry i did that, i wont do that ever again.
i asked him why he did and he said it was too big.
i said your hair was too big? he said yeah.
LOL
his poor teacher was freaking out. she kept saying i was going to kill her. lol i just told her its no big deal... kids do things like this... no worries.
don't have a picture cause mark took care of it while i was at zumba - he did a pretty good job.
KAYLIN: got bit at school 2 days ago for taking a toy away from another kid. she turned around and the other kid bit her in the back... BIG bite... almost broke the skin bite... which is now a huge bruise! :(
NEW THING she has been doing for the past week or so... when she is eating... she likes to give you kisses... you know how babies kiss... mouth wide open! yep FOOD EVERYWHERE! lol she is so stinkin cute cause she does it where ever she can reach... which happens to be your pant leg most of the time.

EDNA!
Kaylin has renamed our cat - Bizkit... his new name... EDNA! She gets in his face and makes sure she can see his eyes - she will bend down to do this if need be... then she will say... EDNAHHH it's pretty funny to hear her yell at the cat like that and call him edna. So now Tre calls him edna. HAHAH too funny!
Tre keeps talking about when he is big and can do the things me and mark do when he becomes an "adote" pronounced: uhhh d ohh t basically he is talking about when he is grown and becomes an adult. it cracks me up everytime he says it because who ever is around and listening looks at me like wth did he just say? lol you know ADOTE~ ;o)

Get Your Christmas Out of My Thanksgiving!
here it is the week before thanksgiving and of course the stores are flooded with Christmas stuff - even the radio is ALREADY playing Christmas music. I like Christmas just as much as the next man but REALLY!? can we celebrate one holiday at a time? I pretty much say this every year. i can't believe they already have Christmas stuff out.... i believe one year it was right after Halloween... like thanksgiving wasn't even a real holiday or something!!
Stop for a moment in all your gift buying, giving, drooling... and give thanks!
Be thankful and acknowledge all the things that you take for granted every day. like breathing. be thankful for your family, the annoying husband, the whining child, the jerk boss, it's these things that we take for granted on a daily basis.
Close your eyes... well read this THEN close your eyes and do it.
think about the one thing that matters most to you in this world. whether it's a person, a thing, a pet, a photo, a trinket WHATEVER it is, it is the one thing in this world you feel like you wouldn't be the same if you didn't have. you love it, you cherish it, you want to have it forever! now... remember that NOTHING is forever.
we say all the time... if i didn't have "this" I'd die. Well... NO, No you wont die... you would be heart broken but ultimately, life goes on, the world does not stop because you don't have this thing in your life anymore. you will move on and you will get by... nothing is forever, nothing stays forever, nothing lives forever and a moment never happens forever!
My point in all this is be thankful for your life at this very moment, don't live in the past, don't yearn for the future... NOW... this time right now is the only thing we have FOR SURE!
I am thankful:
that my mom has made a nice recovery and she is still around for a little while longer.
that my dad is seeking the help he needs to stick around for a little longer.
for my son - who showed me what true love really felt like and made me a mother
for my daughter - who showed me that my heart is a expandable
for my husband - who has been my best friend and significant other for over half my lifetime.
for the house we have made a home
for my in laws who treat me like one of their own. they are ALWAYS there for us when we need a little help - lord knows where we would be without them.
for my boss who gave me a job and treats me pretty damn well
for my daycare who treat my children like family instead of just daycare kids
for my sister who stayed with my mom at the hospital like she was her biological mother
for my brother who is in high school now and i pray for his decision making skills daily!
for my older sister (my dads side) because she has become a great mentor and friend and really does give me a wonderful example of genuine good person
for my camera, given to me as a bonus from my boss and is helping me bring a pinch more bacon to the table
for the people who have asked me to snap their photos
for the people who come to this office seeking divorce i think these people make me MORE thankful for my "situation" than anything because it is a constant reminder that... things are good for me... i have a "charmed" life and i should not take anything i have for granted.
with the passing of an old friends son and the close call with my mother... i think i have learned real quick to hug a little longer, hold on a little tighter and love a little harder!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Baby Steps
So last night while i was at the hospital with my mother my child decides she is going to walk across the living room.
Explanation of mom being in the hospital.... SCARIEST THING EVER!
Friday no one had talked to her all day - we all thought she was in deep with getting ready for a craft show the next day but what really happened in she was SICK... deathly sick and didnt even know it. She had pneumonia and never even had the first symptom. it turned into a blood infection called Sepsis that goes and attacks all the organs in the body, one by one until it's shut down and dead. My mother was so close to dying Friday evening!! Her blood sugar was 16 and her blood pressure was 63/34 on top of that her oxygen levels were low and she had no clue who we were. She could talk tho and she kept asking why people were yelling at her and anytime they would move her she'd say... WAIT A MINUTE...
on the way to the hospital the EMT gives her a glucose shot and she comes out of it but almost as quick as she came out of it... she went back into it.
So we get her to the ER and they are drawing blood and doing EKG's and xrays and all kinds of stuff, that's when we find out she has pneumonia but we still dont understand what is going on and why she is like this.
Within a few hours they put her on a ventilator and strap her arms down to the bed... i am REALLY freaked out and worried and confused and emotionally drained already from marks grandma just passing away earlier that week.
she was moved to ICU and i stayed the night with her... that was the most awful experience just being there and watching her breath, knowing it wasn't HER breathing... the words LIFE SUPPORT is just a terrible thing to hear especially when a loved one is on it.
So i got about 3 maybe 4 broken hours of sleep in an uncomfortable chair - went home Saturday since they said they were going to keep her sedated and on the vent to rest for the day and see about getting her off the vent Sunday. Sunday being Kaylins first birthday party!
Kays party came and at the same time it was time to get mom of the vent. she fought the nurses when they took it out she was ready to go home and they had to sedate her again to calm her down. after kays party i went up to see her and she was talking... she asked what happen and i told her she had pneumonia, i figured i'd keep the details limited until she was in her right frame of mind. she made a face and i told her to relax as i rubbed her forehead and hair. She said she wanted to go home and i told her she was really sick and had to stay and she made the saddest face! it was pretty much heart breaking leaving her that night but i just couldn't sleep in that chair from hell again and then sit in it all day again. so i went home and got some sleep, woke up, took the kids to school and went back up to sit with her. She was already doing much better, talking and more coherent than before but her motor skills weren't back to normal. i stayed all day Monday and took care of her. Tuesday she was even more back to normal and by Wednesday, even after having the cath/heart test thing done to see how much damage was done to her heart she was EVEN MORE BACK TO NORMAL.
She is going home today, leaving the hospital with merely some fluid on the lung and a cough... but just a few days ago was so close to death she was gray and almost unresponsive. Just goes to show how much things can change from one moment to the next and how much we take for granted the people we love, that they will always be around or because they are still young that they will be around for longer than we think.
My mother is my best friend and the thought of loosing her was so emotional for me that i could never even fathom the thought... well Friday evening FORCED me to stop and think about it, that was too close for comfort. Sunday night i finally felt like i could cry and think about the "what ifs". Any emergency situation that i am in i am FINE emotionally until it's "over" and i start thinking about WHAT IF this happened or that happened... then i become emotionally overwhelmed and loose it. I felt like i could do that Sunday when i told mom it was good to see her awake and she told me to shut up... that's my mom!!!
Kaylins birthday party went great... she did awesome even if she did have an early nap!
when it was time for cupcake, we couldn't even sing happy birthday for the quickness she laid upon that thing. lol she grabbed it from the bottom and squished all the cupcake out and then proceeded to eat the paper! HAHA we took the paper from her and she started eating the cupcake... and she at it ALL - every single bit of it without hardly any mess on her!
I did the door measure thing like i do every 6 months for Tre and found that tre was one whole inch taller than kaylin is right now.

Busy Bee
So with this new adventure in photography i have been super busy and with less free time on my hands i find it hard to update my bloggy blog.
couple of weeks again Kay started saying "uhh ohh" which sounds more like uhhh ooo it's so stinkin cute yet i know what is in store - a bunch of throwing things down and saying uhh ooo so i can retrieve and give back... i hate that game, i mean seriously am i a dog or something. lol im sure she will get a kick out of it and i know she has been playing this game with her daycare fav Ms Connie. She has been eating for the past month or so big people food for breakfast and lunch - AND eating like a big person too! lol she is an eater, just like Tre use to be, she will eat the house down. At some point tre turned picky but more than that the reason he doesnt eat well is because he doesn't sit down and take the TIME to eat. just like peeing his pants, if he is playing he doesn't want to take the time to stop and go pee so he will hold it until he can't hold it anymore, sometimes he makes it to the potty on time to erupt like a volcano and sometimes he has wet pants. UGHHH it's so annoying because i KNOW he knows when he needs to go. he holds it!! i KNOW this, HE knows this and HE KNOWS I KNOW THIS!! lol
my goal for this year is to get my kid out of my bed. and to get him to stop relying on diapers/pull ups at night and go to the damn bathroom!!!
he was arguing with me this morning about what clothes he doesn't want to wear etc. and i told him cooperate with me and i will cooperate with you it's a compromise. he walked away and yelled from the other bedroom... YOU CAH-LOP-AH-LATE WITH ME!!! im not your friend anymore! LOL i of course told him - i wasn't put here to be your friend i was put here to be your mom and keep talking to me like that and imma bust you up! LOL i love our little morning spats. if it's not trying to get him up, it's something about the clothes i have picked out. i mean COME ON it's preschool not a fashion show- the real problem is it's getting colder out and i want him to wear long sleeves, he feels like the sleeves should be well above his wrist, while i of course feel opposite in that regard. shaking my head!! these kids will be the death of me!
especially since kay has learned the steps. a couple of months ago she realized how fun the steps were but fell off the first step and bumped her head so it took her a little longer to actually try again. well... she is on a ROLL now. loves em. can't get down them. but loves them. she gets to the stop and sits there like - YAY look what i did. then cries to get down or GOD FORBID tries to go forward down them. mini heart attack!!!!
Kays bday is coming up in about 3 weeks, i can't believe she is already getting ready to be a flippin year old!! this year has freakin FLOWN by, im like in disbelief - denial!! like if i dont plan for the party it wont come. hahaha now im rushing around trying to get things done for it. ISUCK! it's a cupcake theme - was going to do princess but im sure i will have my fair share of those to come. Cupcake is fitting cause the girl likes to EAT, and she is my little Kaylin (Kay)kes
your my cuppycake gum drop schookums whookums your, the apple of my eye! :o)
anyway i gotta go there is work to be done.
sorry for my spacey rambling and bad grammar but that's how i roll yo!

Kid Pics updates
I know it has been a crazy long time between updates here... my apologies. i have been super busy with the new photography business and of course the (now) 10 month old that is crawling around begging for everyone within a 30 foot range to give her attention. She has been crawling for a while now, getting around great. She crawls with EXUBERANCE now her hands and knees slapping so hard on the hardwood floor, she definitely turns heads! ha
she waves hi and bye bye and if it's late and she is getting sleepy and wants to go to bed... if you tell her it's BED TIME and are you ready to go NITE NITE she stops what she is doing and sticks her little hand in the air and waves like... "yep, im ready for bed, bye bye"
the best thing about her right now is picking her up from daycare. when i peek in and she sees me she gets so excited!! if she is sitting she will take all four extremities and move them rapidly up and down like she is saying omg omg mom is here of course she gives me that big ol' baby girl smile that i crave and will crawl over to the door and if someone doesn't get her and give her to me... she starts getting attitude!
speaking of attitude... i was holding her last night trying to get her to be quiet so i could process some photos i had taken in a few sessions this past weekend. she would start getting tiffy so i would give her the paci, she would then be fine. so every now and then she would take it out of her mouth and start huffin and puffin so i would put it back in. LMAO last night she was sitting there whining so i put her paci in her mouth and she took it out and threw it on the ground.. i looked at her like she was CRAZY and picked it up and put it right back in her mouth and the little shitass did it again, like, i dont want it! lol so i smacked her hand and told her NO and she turned her head to stare me down! with her little crinkled eyebrows... those SASSY BROWS are gonna get her in trouble! lol i KNOW when your giving me attitude lil girl! ha
i got a new camera!! DSLR NIKON D7000 with a 18-105mm lens... i HEART it!~
all of the photos above were taken with my 3rd child. i am so excited to shoot with that thing... its so awesome. i love the images that it produces... ahhh im in heaven... where did this expensive camera come from, you may ask... and my answer is... my boss! YES... from my WORK, my boss purchased me a camera to do what i love most... isn't he awesome!!?!? oh my gosh i could have cried when he gave it to me... i was like a child on Christmas morning ready to open the box and play! i have been snapping off shots of everything in my path since! LOVE IT! i am learning how to shoot in manual mode so MOST of the time it's in aperture priority but when i get a person that will sit still in front of me.. it's ON!
till next time
