Why is it????

So it really isn't any of my business but I just can't help myself.

So here is the background...J meet this guy. They had 1 brief meeting for coffee and now he is "infatuated" with her... I mean seriously head of heels.

Now, don't get me wrong, J is a wonderful person. Who wouldn't be head over heels with her??... but not after an hour meeting for coffee. So why is it that there are some people who can fall hard and fast while others take FOREVER to even consider even just maybe falling in like with someone... even then, they reserve the right to change their mind as often as they change underwear.

I just don't get it. I could understand it from a hormone crazy kid, but not a grown man. Not a man who should be responsible with his feelings and even if he does feel infatuated, he is still reserved and calm about it.

So why is it that GROWN MEN aren't taking the time t really get know someone before saying they are "in love at first site"...Ugg MEN!!!! They will NEVER grow up!

They are gone:(

So the madness wasn't nearly as bad as I anticipated. It was a blast having J and the boys at my house for a few days. The kids, R, J and L, all got along so well. R and J played Wii for hours on end. And L watched them play it.

We went to the Air Force Museum. The boys LOVED it. It was super cool to have the place to our selves. Momma J got a kick out of the sign that said "watch out for falling ice" I had to remind her that it was possible that there would be ice on the roof, since it was like 15 degrees...lol I hope they didnt think it was too cold.

The weather was nice... about 15-20 degrees (burr) and there was some rain, but it wasn't bad enough to keep us inside. Momma J did get to see snow falling (nothing really to write home about, but she quickly texted her mom to tell her it was showing...lol)

Momma J and I spent a lot of time just talking and drinking wine (or what ever else we could find). It was the first time we have been able to do that because every time we have been toogther, she has been KNOCKED UP!

I am so sad to see her go. I wish she lived closer. I wish I had all the time to go see her more often. Oh well... thats life!

And the madness begins

So today, my BFF, J is coming in town. She is bringing her boys with her! I have been running around like a mad woman cleaning and recleaning and acting like a fool. My house still isn't how I wish it was, but oh well..even crazy ladies have to quit sometime.

So my day got all jacked up b/c R's school was on a 2 hr delay due to ice. And D said he couldn't stay home with her. Which meant I had to do it. Which then meant thatI would NOT be leaving work like I planned. Instead I will leave at 1. But I still have to make cookies for R's class for her B-day... she wants Hippo cookies:)

So I will go home and start the cookie dough... chill it for 2 hours. Pick up R from school go home and start dinner (beef stew.. ohh yum!) and start baking cookies, and baking cookies, and backing cookies... until 5:30. They I have to go to the airport to get J and the boys. Then the fun begins!!!! I am so darn excited that she will be in town. I just saw her a month ago, but it feels like forever. And it will be even harder to see her go because I have NO clue when we will get to visit again. No plans have been made for weekend trips or vacations, so the next visit may be far off:(

We have so much planned for the trip. We will be going to the Air Force Museum. The boys will LOVE it. Heck, I love it there. It is so cool. But R doesn't like it, so I never get to go. I gave R the choice to decide if she wanted to skip school and go with us. She declined and said that she was worried she would miss something fun... lol

I will be posting about our visit. I will include lots of pics and lots of funny antics from the kids. I am sure it will be a BLAST!

The Hippo Cake!

It's that time of year again... Yep, Daughter's Birthday party is today!!!! I am surprisingly calm... I think it is because all I had to was make the cake and get treat bags since we are having her party at a local place...



So here is the cake....

Yep, it's a Hippo Cake!!!

Twillight

So I am reading the Twillight Saga. It is really good. I have spent countless hours reading it. I stay up til 2 in the morning reading it...lol

I have found that it makes me feel happy to have found love. It makes me wanna tell my husband how much he means to me. It makes me feel more passionate about the love we share. A Love that endures all things. Even in hard times, the love I have found it incredible. It is nice to know that I can tell him how I feel and not worry about being judged. Being with my lover makes me wanna be a better wife and mother and friend. Being with him makes me feel whole.

I know that not everyone gets a shot at true love. I know that some people find it and lose it. I know that some people settle for less than true love. But I am lucky to have found it and not to have settled for anything less than true love.

D... I love you each and every day of forever!

Putting it out there.

So I haven't really shared my blog with anyone... But I did put it out there today.... for all the world to see.... not that they couldn't see it before... but I just made it easier for them to find.

So the randomness of my mind will be out there for everyone to read.

ENJOY!!!!

Birthing Babies

I have a daughter.... she is almost 7... so I have been pregnant...actually twice.... but only one baby is mine... I was a gestational surrogate and carried twins... but I never actually gave birth to any child I have carried. I had a C-Section with my daughter and had a c-section with the twins. I have never been in labor. I have only have minor contractions. I have never even seen anyone in hard labor.... until November 19th.

My bestest friend in the entire world (not just saying that because she reads this) gave birth to her 4th surrogate baby... Second surrogate pregnancy... So yeah, she had triplets the first time. Anyway, She was induced Nov 19th and I was lucky enough to get to fly to California to be there with her. It was an incredable experience. But holy hell that looked like it hurt bad. She was in active labor for 7 hours and refused an epidural until the end... when she was ready to get one, she was already at 8 cm....so almost go time. She quickly went from being in pain to pushing out baby...in about 2 whole pushes...

I will say one thing... the human body is amazing...but I will NEVER ever endure childbirth.
