Mah Birfday

We celebrated my birthday Monday. 
 
It was.....um....different then years past.
 
I was home with the kids all day.  I guess they didn't get the birthday memo because they were being less than adorable for me.
 
We went to dinner with my family where my Mom was over an hour late, my grandmother and nephew were fighting and the kids were throwing tantrums.
 
It was a bit of a disaster.
 
At least we got some cute pictures!
 
But we went back to my parents house and had some cake.  Ashlyn was so excited about it being my birthday but she swore it was her birthday too.  She sang to me but I think she was really singing to herself!  She blew out one of the candles too.
 
Then we watched the kids pretty much go crazy from all of the sugar. 
 
Then we went home and got the kids to bed.  We sat on our front porch with a drink and that was that.
 
It certainly was not a perfect day.  But is any day really perfect? 
 
We still had fun and got to spend time as a family and that's all I really wanted.
 
We will be having a small party on Saturday for myself and my person.  Our birthdays are so close together that we are just inviting some close friends and family to celebrate with us.
 
I'm looking forward it!
 
The best part of my birthday???
I got my Colson necklace.
 
I ordered this necklace weeks ago.  I must have emailed the woman from Etsy 3 or 4 times asking where it was and why it was taking so long.  In reality, it wasn't taking that long, I was just being impatient, as usual.
 
And when I opened up the mailbox, on my birthday, I knew what was in there.
 
 
My necklace for Colson.  I love it so much.  I don't even know how to describe how I felt when I opened that box.
 
Always in heart, sweet boy.

Cheerios Stands

So when I logged onto my computer this morning, the first article that caught my attention was this one ( Cheerios Stands ) about a new commercial Cheerios has out.  They are getting a ton of negative feedback for this commercial and I'm just not understanding why. So basically, people are upset because this is a white mother, a black father and a biracial child.  What's the big deal? I know that it isn't a common thing to see in a TV commercial but what's the big deal?  I really don't think that biracial couples are uncommone these days so I'm not really understanding why they are getting such negative feedback for this commercial.  I give a ton of props to Cheerios/General Mills for not pulling the ad.  They could do that and that would be easy and would end the negativity but they are not going to do that.  Good for you.  There is no reason why this ad should not be aired. By the way, I think the commercial is cute and funny and I proba...

29 Week Bumpdate

The heart rate today was 160 and all is well. Little Man is still kicking away all the time!  He sleeps until late morning and then he's all over the place for the rest of the day.  It's fun but it's also uncomfortable sometimes. When I weighed myself on Sunday, which is when I usually do it to update my pregnancy app, I was only up 15lbs.  As of today, though, I am up 17lbs.  I feel like I am growing at warp speed but the doctor assures me that I am measuring just fine.  I do feel like some of the shirts I wore two weeks ago shouldn't be worn anymore though!  The bump is growing! I have noticed that I have been waking up with swollen ankles every morning despite sleeping with them elevated.  I know this has a lot to do with the weight gain since I had such a problem with it last time.  Other than that, the normal heartburn and backaches come and go and I'm crazy tired but I don't really have any other issues.  I don't ever ...

HFMD

Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common viral illness that usually affects infants and children younger than 5 years old. However, it can sometimes occur in adults. Symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease include fever, blister-like sores in the mouth (herpangina), and a skin rash. ( http://www.cdc.gov/hand-foot-mouth/about/index.html) Are you kidding me? Blister-like sores in the mouth? Why do things like this even exist? What purpose does an illness like this that just torments little babies (and their parents) serve?  This stupid illness is currently 'running it's course' through my poor son. One week before his first birthday. Apparently it's 'going around' as the doctor so nicely explained.  Fortunately we only had one really bad day where he was not eating or drinking much and was just miserable. He was back to his usually happy self in no time even with blisters in his mouth. So this week, while my husband is away for work in Chicago and ...
