Stress

Yes i'm stressed, litterally, i just can't seem to calm down anymore. And now due to my stress, I have shingles. Not sure if anyone knows what that is, but just type it in the comp.. many symptoms come up, and the main cause is stress. I have sever nerve ending pain, and just can't take it anymore... i'm off to the doc today. Why can't life slow down right now?? I need a vacation...

Where does time go??

I need more time in the day to finish things..ahh.. Things have been crazy busy lately. Too much on the go, and time is just flying by. I'm almost done school, this Saturday is my last class, then I do my written in a week, and my practicals as well. It went so fast that I can't believe it's done. But being at home, has been busy too. Riley has been working alot of nights, and I never seem to get a break anymore. When the girls have there naps together at 1, I seem to be booking hair or nails, and then in the evening when they go to bed by 8:30, I'm doing the same thing. I can't seem to get caught up with the other things around the house, and when I'm done doing hair or nails in the evening, I'm tired, cause it's close to 10, and I just want to go to bed. I need to be studying and doing so much more.

The girls are great. It's so awesome now that Aub's is sleeping through the night, I can't even think of not having sleep on top of this. We returned that car seat we bought, cause well it sucked, and I will get her another when I find the time..lol.. so she is back in the baby one. Allie, well what can I say.. i finally took juice away from her cause I couldn't keep up with her diapers, and her peeing. So I stuck to my guns. She was having like 6-10 10oz sippie's a day, of 3 quarters water 1/4 juice..and it was crazy. So I stopped the juice, and well she doesn't drink as much..It is nice. I changed her once yesterday, instead of like 6-8 times..it was great. Plus she is finally eating a whole lot more now, so I'm sure she is going to take a growth spurt... But she defiantly wont be getting tons of sippie's a day now..it was crazy!!

As for me, I'm tired, been having lots of headaches lately, but managing. I just want things to slow down..and hopefully soon enough they will... CHOW

No title

I had a good week. Busy but good. Somehow everyday was filled up, and every evening. I can't even remember what I all did, I just know I was busy with nails it seemed every night. Just practising on friends, cause I have 2 classes left, then I do my practical, and written. I'm getting excited. Seems I change my nails everyday, cause I have so many different funky kinds of tips, and also alot of neat ideas in my head. I'm loving it though, and so happy I did this.

We bought a truck this week. Time to exchange it for Riley's quarter ton, and move up to a 6.5 turbo diesel 4 by 4... it's nice, I love it, and so does he. Riley deserves it, and I'm glad he got it.

I had a play date with a friend this week, which is always fun. We went to it's a blast, an indoor play ground, and had a good time. We meet eachother there every second Thursday morning. It's always nice to get out, and visit, and also let our kids play together. Aubrie just loves her son Asher... She just wants to attack him, and hug him, it's so sweet. He is only 5 months old, but there about the same size..he's a cutie..

As for the girls, Aubrie's word she has learnt is, "uh oh", it's so sweet. If someone drops something, she usually says that. She can also climbs stairs, and sure travels along furniture really fast. She is growing too fast. I can't believe she is 9 months old already. I bought a car seat for her today, and just seems like yesterday we were installing the baby one. Time sure flies, soon we will be celebrating her 1st birthday.

Allie is into singing. She sings patty cake, twinkle twinkle, happy birthday, ABC's, she just loves singing.

As for the weekend, I intend to spend it alone..lol Riley is busy working this weekend, so I'm hangin with the girls... CHOW

Our New Truck...

Can I Retire??

Yes from being a mom...it's 8am, and I already am going nutty, Allie went to bed late, and well that always makes for a crappy day next day. Aubrie has been doing great lately, all week has slept through the night, it's been awesome. Riley and I still camp out in the livingroom for now, I sleep alot better without having her beside me to hear all night long.. and when she is done her crying at night, she will move in with her sister...but as for today, I woke up tired. Didn't sleep well cause I actually drempt Riley died, and it was so real. SO my night wasn't so well, and at 5am when I met him in the bathroom for our anual pee breaks, I hugged him and said, "you better never leave me"...I think he was half asleep, and was like, "ok".... But Allie woke ealry, so did Aub's, and Allie just frustrates me with how much she drinks. The second she opens her eyes, she wants her sippie cup. I filled it with water, and she downed it in seconds, and cried for another. I don't understand at all. I was frustrated and didn't want to give her another till she ate her breakfeast. So she had a crying fit. And who wants to hear that at 8am. So after she ate some, yes i gave her another sippie cause I was tired of the crying, and she downed that one. I never can seem to keep up with her diapers anymore without her leaking out cause she has SO MUCH pee in there. I spend my days trying to get her to be nicer to Aubrie. Some days she is great, the next she hurts her all day, I can't leave them in a room together without hearing Aubrie screaming cause Allie kicked her or something.

So yes, today I want to retire. I want to be in bed still sleeping, with no one around. I want to be able to clean the house without someone un-doing everything. I want to be able to go downstairs and give myself a color cause my roots are an inch grown out, I would love to sit and do my nails but am always rushed doing it. I would love to just be by myself today, but I don't have that option. Do I ever?? NO!!! I have to continue on being a mom, and deal with the wonder 2's..... AAHHHHHHH

Family Day

It was good, I had school in the morning only for an hour, then we went to the mall, and did some shopping, got some groceries.. and just hung out. It was fun, something we rarely do all together.

The weekend was good, I've just been so stressed out lately, not really sure why.. well ok so I do know why. Just have so much going on these days, and it has been difficult. Aubrie now has a severe toe infection, it looks so awful, the doc said it is severely infected, and we arn't exactly sure how it happened, but it so swollen, pus everywhere, a huge blister on it, and it is bright red cause it is so infected. She also must have caught what allie had cause her cough is pretty bad, but i haven't taken her in yet. I think all last week we spent in the doc, so i'm sick of going there..lol Just been busy with school cause it will be over in a few weeks already, and housework never seems to end.

As for this week, well monday is gone already.. tomorrow night i'm taking my friend out cause it's her birthday, Wednesday I have nails and thursday I have nails to do, and well then it's friday. So ya, just going to be another stressful week. Anyways bye for now..

Here me Out

Okay, so I've had a day where u just want to stop and scream as loud as u can, and well maybe I did once... or maybe I also fell to my knees and broke down and cried. Life is good, I love life, but somedays, just happen to be the off days...and today is one of them.

The nights have been sleepless lately. With Allie being sick, and Aubrie still waking, but she is working on her 6th tooth so I don't blame her I guess. I'm tired, I'm bitchy, grouchy, everything. Everywhere I look, there is a mess. I'm normally a pretty organized gal, but with being sick for a few days, things pile up. Today I've been trying to get back on track, but it's so hard when your two year old, un does everything your doing. She has no thought sometimes of what she is doing, and knows if it gets tossed on the floor, mommy will get mad.. so from a box of crayons, to food I'm trying to get her to eat, but she still wont, to everything. She climbs the stools in the house, so she can reach things. So if u ever drive down the back lane and our bay window is filled with stools you will know why.. some poeple must think we r weird..lol She is just into everything.. and everytime I turn around today, some one has pooped I swear. Aubrie is in a "HOLD ME MOM", stage today... or follow mom stage.. I can't seem to go no where, or get nothing done.. But yet somehow I managed to fit in baking cookies with Allie, and making Valentine's cards for daddy, and the keffer kids cause she had asked to. That was a handful in itself trying to glu sparkles on cards.. ya they were everywhere, and yet I managed to probably buy the glu from the dollar store, so the sparkles didn't stick..ahhh..... Naps were oh so short today, and most days I long for them, cause I can either get things done, or scrap book or something...

So happy Valentine's Day... Needless to say I'm feeling better..but what mom has time to be sick... Well I did get like..hmm..um... 2 hours to lay in bed... the rest of the time I had to be a mom...cause the house shuts down otherwise. Riley did pretty good, but still, if he was sick.. he'd be in bed for days..lol.. thats men though.

Anyways i best go, Aubrie is at my feet, and I soon have to make supper... BYE Y'ALL!!!

We Are Sick

But on the road to recovery. I have Strep throat, and Allie has ear infection and throat infection. It sucks it really does. I swear this is way worse than child birth. I haven't been able to swallow my own saliva, and actually lost 8 pounds since Sunday. Allie as well hasn't eaten in a week, and lost weight to. But we r both on the rode to recovery. Sometimes you wish for a few seconds..lol.. that they would stay sicker longer just cause there content, qiuet..and lay on the couch.. even though it pains you when there sick, cause it's scary. I'm not an antibiotic person, i refuse to put my kids on them, cause i have heard many things, and read many things. But this go round, Allie and I are both on them. It's been years since i have taken any form of them, and Allie, maybe once in her life she has been on them, otherwise my doc and i both know it comes out on it's own, and that antibiotics arn't good for little ones. But with a few doses already, we both feel better.

Been A While

It has been a while since i got on here, I have thought about it lots, but just never found the time. Last week was insane, too much stuff going on, work was busy, has school twice, and just alot on my plate. The weekend was good, Riley's parents and sister came and stayed over, it was nice to see them, since it had been a while. We heard some bad news on Saturday though. A guy from near Quill Lake, Clancy Kavalanche, 29 years old was killed in a car accident. No seat belt, was thrown from the vehicle and died instantly. It's so scary and sad to think about.. All I picture is his face, and just can't believe he is gone. I can't imagine what his family is going through at this time.

As for this week, I had school today, and now am coming down with the worst sickness ever(well probably worse things out there), but if u have ever had strep throat, it sucks. My glands are so swollen, they are touching that hanging thing in the back of my throat.. and there is white spots all over them.. I ache, i want to cry, i want to crawl under 30 blankets cause I'm so cold.. I can't swallow my own saliva... and can barely lift Aubrie. I hate this, I have had it in the past many times. It has been a while though since i've had it, and I sure didn't miss it. The others times I have had it, I was in the hospital cause I lost weight fast, and it was so severe. I'm hoping it doesn't get that far this time. Anyways off to lay down and cover up... I will post soon again...

Life

Have u ever sat back and wondered where your life went?? Have you thought about how fast the time passes by?? Lately that has been on my mind alot. I'm not sure why, but it just has. Life has been busy lately, I feel so stressed, and like my mind is trying to tackle so much these days. I find myself wondering where the day went, instead of wishing it would pass by. I find myself looking at my girls, thinking, wow there growing so fast. Yes I have spent every day with them, but still you forget. Aubrie is working on her 6th tooth already, and is soon to be 9 months old. She is loving real food, instead of that gagging stuff.. oh I mean baby food. She is standing at everything and slowly moving along the furniture. She knows safety, and is very causious and sensitive to so many things. She is content and still loves to rest her head on your shoulder for a snuggle. She is beautiful, has a wonderful smile that lights up your day. She is so special to me, I love her so much. And Allie, she is 2 years old already. I still will never forget the moment I held her and cried and cried cause she was here, my miracle, the little girl I was waiting for all my life. She has grown so fast, it scares me to even think about her getting older. She is so smart I just can't believe it. She can draw a face so good, she knows her shapes and can even read her name when I write it down. She has a memory like you wouldn't believe and she just lights up our life. Yes we have our moments with our lovely two year old.. the times she has decided she doesn't like her sister, or the times she is really testing mommy. Like the days where she has decided not to eat, so supper ends up on her lap or in her hair or the floor. Also now she is climbing everything, and can open everything from any drawer to any door, to the fridge and stove.. She is a handful, and usually by the end of the day, I'm beat!! Lately she has to put a dress on by the end of the day(usually the one from Ross and terri, or one my sister gave her), but everyday for the past month she has to wear one. But I just try and pass those crazy moments by, and move on with life. She is my angel, the little girl who saved my life.

Life i just can't help but think of lately.. It's what u make of it. It's the person you are and what you've become. It's the life your living, and the life you chose to live. You can change, if u want things to change, and to me, life just flys by so fast, that I just want the best of it. I'm 26 years old, a mother of two, a wife and I wonder where those years went. Just seemed like yesterday I lived on Dewdney with Gwenn and Brae, and was only 18 years old. It just seems like yesterday whe I met Riley and shouted loud and clear to my mom and dad on the phone, "I met the one i was going to marry". Where does the time go??

Life has been so busy lately, that the days r flying by so fast. Busy with school, which I love so much, and today I went downstairs and did my left hand, the first time on myself i did pretty good. I know i will do great at this, and have high hopes for my self. I have been busy with work, and just really busy as being a mom. Like i said, housework never seems to get done. Riley does help, he does take the garbages out every morning, even my hair salon garbage now 2.. He does pick up the toys in the living room too, so it's nice to get some help. And Allie just thinks she is such a big helper as well by picking up her toys at the end of the day, so we try and get her to do that everynight as well.

But the whole message I'm trying to get across today, is to enjoy life. Be happy, there isn't enough time to be upset and angry and mad. Love your kids, sqeeze them a bit harder tonight, cause before u know they will be leaving home. Just try and take each day as they come... I'm trying to do that, but yet they seem to come to fast. Just remember, life is what u make it. Love life for once!!

Monday, Monday

Life has been busy lately. With school, work, just everything. From being a mom, trying to keep up the duties around this house, to working on the side, and now going to school. Things have been hard and tiring. This weekend went fast like always. Riley built me my desk to do my nails on in my hair salon, and he did and AWESOME job. It's so cool how it just folds up and gets put away along the wall, kinda like a motor home table. I love it. I also played hockey on Sunday and today had school again. It has been hard keeping up. I also had a very busy afternoon with hair today and this evening, on top of everything to do in this house. Laundry has been piled up for days now. Allie and Aubrie didn't even have any p.j's and they usually have like 10 to choose from. So yeah, needless to say I have been behind. But like always, even though my aching body just wants to lay down on the couch and join my husband, I push myself to load the dishwasher, clean Aubrie's bottles, and make them.. sweep the floors, clean and sort the toys, and fold 3 huge baskets of overflowing clothes. I'm tired, I'm beat, I want to just stay in bed for a day and not come out and sleep. But my life has to continue on, just like everyone's, and I have to keep going. I have class again on Wednesday, by the way I'm loving it, and doing an awesome job. The teacher is very impressed by the work I do, and how fast Iam. So I'm very excited about that!! Anyways I best go and finally join my husband on the couch.. night!!

Welcome To February

Well yesterday was the first day of my nail course, and I just know i'm goingto love it. It is hard trying to find nail models though, but i think both Kristin and I found ours, and we are well on our way. We will be done classes by the end of this month, then will just have to write our written and do our practical. It's going to be tough, there is alot to know, and the written exam is going to be even harder since it is all written stuff, no multiple choice. I'm really looking forward to learning, and I have learnt SO MUCH already, it's crazy!!!

This weekend, well today for an example, i'm SO BOOKED with hair, but looking forward to the busy day. Then tonight Kristin and I are heading out for some shopping, supper and who knows what else. As for tomorrow, we will be building my desk at some point..YEY.. also we will be re-doing the floor in my hair salon too. It has a bit of a slope to it, so we will be leveling it out, then new floor. I'm so excited. Anyways, i best get ready for my crazy day!! Have a great weekend everyone!!
