Do over anyone?

Have you ever had one of those mornings where you want to just start over? I am pretty sure everyone has...this morning was one for me.

Last night I went to bed VERY early...7pm early, and I paid for that this morning. When I woke up I immediately smelled poop. In my house it could be tons of things but the main 3: Hayden, Tonka, or Jinx.. My process of elimination I found a shredded dirty diaper shrewd from Hayden's room to my room..lovely. Then it looked like my family had WW III and then a tornado went through our living room/kitchen area. Toys, dirty clothes, dishes in the living room and all over the kitchen, some still on the kitchen table.This is all too much for me to process at 6am before any coffee. In the midst of all this I realize Kelsey didn't have a shower last night and probably needed one, her excuse...no one reminded her. Her lunch wasn't made either...ugh. Then as I am trying to get her out of the door and in my moms car, I trip over 2 pairs of Travis' size 13 shoes laying in the middle of the floor and almost bust my ass on our vacuum attachments. At this point I am done...Hayden wakes up in the middle of it all  and stumbles down the hallway, he came up to me and handed me my watch, Pandora bracelet and engagement ring...missing---wedding band! I don't know where I took them off last night so I don't even know where to look for it so I have naked hands today and feel so strange. I searched the 2 possible places and didn't find anything. I soon realized the scrub top I wanted to wear was still dirty, we are almost out of frozen waffles and after all that I remembered I had a  vaginal ultrasound at 8am to check on the placement of my IUD. I wanted to cry.

Everything went fine with the ultrasound, but I was still having a pity party about the other part of my morning. When I got to work at 9, I felt like I had ran a marathon.

Moral of the story: next time I think I am tired...I need to have a STRONG coffee and snap out of it. I will have to just be tired. Being unorganized and not prepared for the day are worse than being tired :)

Have you ever had a morning like this? What happened?


Update: My evening has been much better! and Kelsey found my ring :)

Reading

Kelsey just read me a book! I am so excited for her!!

She brought home this book from school today and her homework was to read it to us, she read it to me and then Travis and did amazing! I am so proud of her. She was sounding out words like crazy!!

I had a busy afternoon/evening... after work I went to the grocery store, picked up Hayden, made dinner, mowed the grass, pulled weeds, and trimmed bushes...then played outside with the kids, then came in after Travis got home and ate dinner. The kids both got baths and are in bed all by 7pm!

Tonight Bones and Dancing with the stars come on!

What are your fall TV must watch shows? Any new shows you are excited about this year?

decisions...decisions...

I don't do well making decisions...esp making big decisions. I feel like the last month has been full of big decisions. A load of stress has been taking off my chest this weekend, I bought a new car! I am so thankful for my dad who helped me out so much and Travis for being patient with me :) I got a 2001 GMC Yukon, it has extremely low miles and in in next to excellent condition for it's age. I am so happy! I have wanted a Tahoe/Yukon for years and it is so nice to finally have one. People probably thing I am crazy for buying a V8 when gas is so high, but my daily commute consists of a 20 mile circle...if that. If I had to drive more everyday then I would have re thought that decision. I feel like I made a pretty good one!

Kelsey had a great birthday. After we got done at the car dealership...buying a car takes WAY to long. Sarah was waiting to hang out with Kelsey for her bday. We went and had some $1 tacos at Moe's, went and walked around Wal-Mart and had yogurt at Menchies. When we came home it was time to go to Kelsey's birthday dinner. She picked to have dinner at Chili's so they would sing to her. We had a lot of fun! We order a different dessert along with the general bday dessert, Kelsey picked the chocolate molten cake. I am not sure who liked it more...Kelsey, Koltyn or my Dad. It was a fight between 4 of us trying to get a bite. Hayden was a smart boy he went to the other end of the table and enjoying his brownie and ice cream in peace. HAHA.

This morning Travis got up and took Kelsey and our nephew Koltyn bike riding. Hayden was running a little fever so we stayed home to rest. Hayden ended up helping me clean the house, finally! I still have to give my bedroom some attention, but I feel so much better having a clean kitchen/dining/and living room. Now everyone is sleeping, while I blog and enjoy the peace and quiet.

Everyone keep my cousin Amanda and her new baby boy in your prayers, please. Liam was born on 9/12 and has spent a few days in the NICU. They are hoping he gets to come home soon! Fingers crossed :)

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

Happy 6th Birthday Kelsey!!

September 15, 2006- after 23 1/2 of the longest, intense, emtion filled hours in my whole life Kelsey Ann was born. She came into this world with a pop (literally--I had a nurse jump on me) and hasn't slowed down yet.

I can't believe my baby girl is 6 years old! She is the best thing that has ever happened to me :) I was young, some say too young, but I am a firm believer to this day that God has a huge plan for both of us.

Kelsey is the biggest dreamer I know, she reminds me of myself. It looks like she is going to take after my passion for horses, which makes me smile as big as I can. She is so so smart...sometimes too smart. My mom called her a pleaser the other day, and that couldn't be more true. She tries so hard to please everyone all the time. She is so caring and has such a gentle heart. We saw a sign the other day for a lost dog and she got so upset because that family was missing their dog...but she said maybe god made him an angel dog just like Rocko...I cried. She is an amazing big sister and is so patient with Hayden. Although she is def a girl and has some major attitude and hormone...watch out teen years. I am beyond blessed to be her mom.

Being a mom isnt easy at any age, becoming a mom at 19 is even harder. Kelsey has shown me so much the past 6 years and has made me realize how strong I am.

I love you Bug-- you will always be my little ladybug :)

Blah

I havent blogged in a while. I have started about 10 posts in my head, but I never finish them or actually type them. We have had a BUSY 2 months and I don't see it slowing down anytime soon. It has also been a very trying and tiring month already. I am  physically and emotionally drained. I need to give my house some serious attention cleaning wise, but life has gotten in the way :)

 Kelsey loves school and seems to really be learning a lot. She is so tired after school each night and weekends are spent catching up on rest. Her 6th birthday is this Saturday and I really can't believe that she will be 6 already. Hayden is getting bigger everyday and he is turning into such a man. I can't believe he went from baby to boy over night. He is talking like crazy now, and repeats EVERYTHING! Travis has been working 3 jobs the past 2 months.... He works his normal full time job during the day, a contract labor job when needed( but is needed a lot!) and a part time job with an electrical company close to home most evenings and weekends. Needless to say we don't see much of each other these days. It is stressful and very tiring.

To add to it I am car shopping... I got into a accident and my car was totalled so now I have to find a new one. My lovely insurance company is ending my rental car today and I still have no car or payment for my car :) So as of tonight I will be carless and not happy! Atleast the last 2 weeks have been nice...they gave me a 2012 Dodge Charger to drive---can we say fun :)

At some point things will change and I know all of this is happening for a reason. I have to stay positive and keep my head up, but sometimes I want to crumble. I keep telling myself that my family is healthy and very blessed.

I hope everyone has a great weekend! and I am hoping to start posting again soon.
