Little Miss Tomboy

My princess will be 2 years old tomorrow! We are taking her and Kaeleb to Disneyworld. Kaileena has been bugging us all week to see the pincesses and the castle. Everytime she wakes up from a nap, she says "We go bye-bye now and see the pincesses and the castle." Her face is so sad when I tell her no, not yet. Also, since the 22nd, she has decided that she needs to pee in the big girl potty. And quite frankly I'm shocked! I think that she is way too young, but she has her own plans. She goes in the potty a few times a day now, and it just seems like she is turning 4 instead of 2. Where do the little babies rush off to? Uhoh.....

My little one decided to try and go poop in the big girl potty, but alas she didn't make it. SO we had to take a shower. Aren't they precious?

my little people

my prince, trying so hard not to smile :)
what a stud!
sibling love
my little love bugs

Here are some of my newest pics of my little people. I know, I have way too much time on my hands :)

the fires

They are pretty much done now, but here's what I got to look at for a few days.....

Burning down around Me

Yes, Florida is basically burning down around me. It smells horrible outside. Just another reason for me to hate this place. And of course it's making me extra moody with my little ones. Last night I spent 4 hours trying to find the most up to date info on the fires and my children wanted me to pay attention to them. The nerve! I was trying to make sure their grandparent's house wasn't burning down, and they wanted to hang on my leg. Plus, to make matters worse, earlier in the day, some old woman at work felt the need to grab my arm. Thanks a lot! That made an anxiety attack appear, which then made my hives show up. And it was really hot! What is going on with the world? Oh, and if you didn't know, I have an extreme fear of old people, which is why I had an anxiety attack. It's a real fear. It's called Gerontophobia, which was one of my words over there----->on the right side of the page :) okay then, I suppose I should check for any updates AGAIN....when can I move out of this hell hole?!

Restless

I have been feeling so restless lately. It's ridiculous. I went to a friend's wedding, and another friend in california just got engaged and I'm sitting here in a state that I hate, not married, not engaged...just sitting. I feel like my life is going nowhere. I don't have a passport, I've never gone anywhere exciting. I don't do anything. All my real passions play a little part in my life. I used to sing, write, act, draw, play piano.... I used to do so much. I feel like I'm settling. I don't think it's fair to my man, but I keep wondering if he's the one I'm supposed to spend the rest of my life with. I love him to death, but shouldn't my soul mate want to keep life exciting and help me do the things that I want to do in life? He wants to have a lot of money to move, and a lot of money to get married. Why? We've always had a picture perfect relationship, and now I feel like I'm making it fall apart with all my negative thoughts. In my weird distorted mind, he should have moved me somewhere new the first time I mentioned it. He should want to marry me regardless of how much money there is for the wedding. He should understand that when I say I want passionate kisses, I WANT PASSIONATE KISSES!!!! I don't want to settle. But how do I know? What if he is my perfect match, but I'm too busy wondering if he's not? I am a basketcase! Why can't I just be happy?

I'm so restless.......

My little outing

The rest of my Colorado trip

My little angel posing pretty.














And here she is posing a little more.














Apparently this muffin was delicious.















Here is the gang- that's my brother Joe and his girlfriend Kathy.













They are great goofballs :)

Here is the fabulous bride and me.

my fabulously short lived trip to colorado

Here we all are at Deana's house. All the little boogers included.
Mr.Devin really wanted some of little miss Kaileena ;0)

Here is my precious playing in her Uncle Caden's truck.
My angel ready for lunch with her Auntie Brett and I.

well, here is her first salsa tasting. It went ok, she got more....

Here is my sister Brett, and my dad's wife Terri.

Here is my precious little booger basically being a little booger at the wedding.
This is the cake in all it's simplistic beauty. I love simplistic beauty.
Brooke and her very sweet husband Richard taking their first slice out of life.
The first dance. I really lucked out with this picture :)
Miss Sherie 'Holman' Brown and I. I love remembering the fun times we had from back in the day.

And again, plus little Kaileena obviously annoyed with the whole situation.

Unfortunately, that is all that I have for now because I haven't finished my other roll of film. But all in due time....all in due time.

Nature Walk continues

Nature Walk

We went on a little nature walk that was recently created by our house. And I thought I would add some of the things we saw, so that you all can enjoy them as much as we did :)

What the Heck?!

Why is is that when I want to go for a walk and be productive, maybe lose a little weight....there are storm clouds? And then I get upset, so instead of working out inside, I get on the computer. What a joke! Why do women do this? We complain about being overweight and needing to lose a few pounds (way more than a few), but then we do nothing to rectify the situation. My reasoning is that I plan on having more kids anyways, so why put all the effort into it now, when I can do it all later. I am such a little whiner. I'm always going to be unhappy if I keep up this attitude.
Another thing, do any of you wonder if your real soul mate is out there somewhere? I do this all the time! Why? I love my man and my family, but I'm always thinking that my true soul mate, the one who will rock my world in every sense, is out there somewhere waiting for me. Am I missing out on real true love? How do we know the one we are with is who we were meant to be with? I'm a hopeless romantic deep down, that's why I have all these ISSUES. Why can't I just be happy with what I have? My life is awesome compared to some people's lives. I need to accept that and stop complaining about everything. Stop wondering what else is out there....
what the heck is wrong with me?

Man Camp

So I am reading a book called Man Camp, and after my experiences at work, I think that the idea of a man camp is a priceless idea. The idea before mancamp is to de-sissyfie men. You know, the meterosexual type who worry more about their hair than we women do. To teach the pampered male how to change a tire, build a fire, gut a fish, all that manly stuff. I think they need to learn etiquite and manners. Maybe take some tips from a true southern gentleman.
The old men in florida are RIDICULOUS! I work as a service writer for the automotive department so I take customers car keys and I have to get their information. I ask for their phone numbers, addresses, and sometimes a cell phone number. Most customers just give me their info, but a lot of the old men see that as an oppurtunity. An oppurtunity to be a pimp! "well, if I give you my number, can I get yours?" "this key is to my house if you want to check it out." "you can take it for ride anytime you want." BLAH, BLAH, BLAH! Where do these guys learn that that is how a woman wants to be spoken to? I stand outside in the sun all day, so I am usually red and sweaty, but they still make comments! I haven't felt sexy since I had Kaileena, but apparently according to one old fart, I have sexy eyes. And another obnoxious creep said that I had sexy, strong, greek shoulders just like his ex wife. WOW! That really got my mojo pumpin' let me tell you.......Man Camp. I think it could be a neccesity. We should look into it.
