I just can't believe it

My baby boy is 4 months old already! Time just seems to be flying by and its killing me. Maybe its because I'm a little older now, who knows. I just feel like I want to cling to every precious moment because they're gone in the blink of an eye. I feel bad in a way that I didn't "cling" as much with the older kids because I now know what I was missing. Does that make sense? I am so proud of my boy and so excited to see how he grows and learns new things each and every day...but its all sort of bittersweet for me though since I know that this is it. No more babies. The feeling is freeing and sadening all at the same time. It is nice to know that once Cooper is past his baby days, that I won't have to worry about diapers and late nights of endless crying. But its also sad to know that I won't get to do all of those things either. I find myself savoring and embracing the midnight feedings and the spit up messes. This must be somethat that one can only understand after making the decision that the family is complete. Ok, I'm done being sappy, lol. Have a fantabuous day!

2 hour delays are for the birds!

Thanks to the wonderful 2 hour delay, my plans have changed a bit today. No Roach sisters. I don't know which screws up my day more...the 2 hour delay or an all out cancel. So now that the monsters have vacated the premesis, and the little monster is napping...I sit here contemplating all that I need to get done today...and still I sit, lol.

I am going to try my hand at a diaper cake today. Never made one before, but I've armed myself with lots of supplies and creativity (and instructions too) so off I go! Wish me luck!

Life...interupted

Well, its been quite some time since I visited and I've decided to give it another go. If you're reading this, well, thanks for your interest.

Let's see...today was an adventure...much like any other day.

Jaelyn & Kinsley have taken a liking to 6 am reruns of Full House, so that has been making for a very early morning, lol. At least they aren't fighting with me to get out of bed for school though, so I guess its not all bad. They actually got mad at me today for getting them up 10 minutes late causing them to miss half of "their" show. Funny thing, is that I remember when that show was "my" show...only they were all NEW episodes on the TGIF block on Friday nights. Now I'm dating myself, lol.

Delanie got her first package of big girl panties last night! She is showing lots of interest in the potty so I'm going to take it and run as far and as fast as I can. She's gone as far as to disrobe and do her business all on her own, so I'm thinking its time.

Cooper is teething, so life is always fun there, lol. Lots of drool, wet shirts and crying...lets not forget the crying.

Tomorrow brings on a new set of challenges...the Roaches are coming over! My Goddaughter Riley and her big sister Avery are coming over in the morning for a few hours. I'll be sure to post the "adventures in babysitting" after the dust settles.

Nighty night all!
