A little vent.

I am not feeling well today. I got next to no sleep last night after waking up 2 times to puke from acid reflux. Honestly I could care less about the puking it is the burning sensation that gets stuck in the back of my throat that makes it so I can't sleep. When I was able to sleep it was in the sitting position to help prevent another bout with the toilet. Eve woke up extra early and climbed in bed with us and when I told her I wasn't feeling well so she needed to be quiet she decided to rub her blanky on me since it comforts her. It was sweet but then I couldn't sleep because it felt like my skin was being rubbed off. Finally she stopped and I drifted off to sleep. I think in total I slept 3 hours last night. It sucked and I woke up feeling like total behind. I still feel the burning in the back of my throat. I have not had the motivation to do any of my school work. I am not really sure what I am going to do. I have to have my project completed in just 2 weeks and I haven't even started it. Plus I still have to revise a few things I turned in last semester. I am so mad at myself for procrastinating because now that I feel like crap today I still need to work on it and all I want to do is go lay around in bed. My mom wanted spaghetti pizza tonight for dinner. Which is great but I am the only one who knows how to make it and I have no time or energy to make anything tonight. I bit my dads head off when he was asking me what HE could go get from the store. So now there are no dinner plans. I am stressed to the max and feel like I am coming down with a cold I really could give a shit what is for dinner. Honestly I feel so sick I don't even want to think about food. Is there any way I can get a clone for the next month. After that I think I will be ok but the next couple of weeks are going to be hectic and on top of it all I have just really been enjoying my time with Adam and Eve that I have no motivation to work instead of enjoying their company. ARRRRGGGHHH. Ok I guess I will go work now instead.

We are watching the Discovery Planet Earth series and they have Polar bears on which Eve keeps calling Panda bears. Her is the conversation we just had.

Eve: What are they like to eat?
Me: I don't know honey we don't eat polar bears.
Eve: Nooooo Mom. What do they like to eat?
Me: Ohhh. They like seals.

New Years Resolution

So my New Years Resolution for this year is more of a multiyear challenge. I am going to challenge myself to do 101 different things in 1001 days. If you want to follow my journey more check out my other blog. I am really excited to see if I can get everything crossed off my list. I will need to keep updating the list as I face new challenges. I think I will begin with what I have though and work from there. I am so excited.

Christmas Present.

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. Eve loves everything she got and was a total angel all weekend. On Christmas Eve we had my grandma over so we could give her gifts and spend a little time with her. She is doing surprisingly well considering how sick she is. The girls got new pajamas. We frosted cookies and left them out for Santa. Eve got Santa a glass of water because she didn't think he would like milk and we left out carrots for the reindeer. On Christmas we woke up about 8:30 am. Eve was so excited that Santa ate up all her cookies and the reindeer ate the carrots and she thought it was really silly that Santa left 1 sip of water in the cup. Bella (my niece found the pickle in the tree.) I swear she woke up in the middle of the night and found it because she found it in about 2 seconds flat and it was hidden really well. It took the girls well over an hour to open all their presents. They loved every single thing they got. Adam totally spoiled me this year. I am so thankful for such a loving and thoughtful husband. We headed up to Sedona around 1 pm and it rained on us the whole way. We got to Adams parents house and enjoyed a nice relaxing weekend up there. Eve got a bunch of toys from them and she had a blast. Milo enjoyed all the good food that Adam's mom cooked for us. He has not stopped moving since Christmas. It was cold as all heck there though one morning we woke up it was 27 degrees. It snowed farther north. We came back home and enjoyed a few more days with my brother and niece and now they are back in WI. Things have settled here a bit and we are trying to figure out how we will move forward in the new year. Here are a few photos of our Christmas.

Also as soon as she opened up the package with the dress she is wearing in this picture her pajamas went flying off and the dress went on. She is such a girly girl.

Christmas Past

Eve loves to look at pictures of herself. She is obsessed with baby pictures right now. I really don't have that many baby pictures of her. Honestly when she was first born we were really bad about taking pictures. Even to this day I am not the one who hauls the camera everywhere we go just to capture all the special things she does. So last night she asked to see Christmas baby pictures and I actually had some. It is hard for me to remember her being so tiny and cuddly. I remember being so excited to give her all of her presents that first Christmas that Adam and I woke her up because we couldn't wait any longer. She was in a good mood and kept going after my cup of coffee and eventually knocked it over leaving a huge spill on the carpet. It took her a long time to open her presents and a lot of encouragement from us (and 2 wardrobe changes). It was one of my favorite memories because it was the first time I really truly felt like we were our own little family just the three of us. So as we go into our last Christmas as the three of us I would love to share pictures of our first family Christmas.

Santa is coming!!!

I am so excited for Christmas this year. I can't wait to give Eve all her gifts. We wrapped all the gifts from us last night. We stacked them up in our family room. Eve knows that most of them are for her because of the Tinkerbell wrapping paper. She keeps asking me if she can open them yet. When I tell her no she then asks if I could tell her what one of them is and that she won't tell Santa that she knows. I love her enthusiasm and cleverness. Every Christmas gets better and better. I love Christmas time with her and I can't wait until next Christmas when I have 2 kids to spoil.

Only 1 semester to go!

I got my grades posted today. When I graduate in May I will have a 4.0! I am so proud of myself. I only have to finish my capstone project this semester(which is a pass/fail class) and I will be the most educated person in my whole family. (Only 4 people from both sides of my family have graduated from college.) I am ready to be done with school and actually get to enjoy my family and let Adam have a chance to go back to earn his bachelors degree. May is going to be the best month ever!!!
