It’s My Party & I’ll Cry if I Want To…AND winner
Getting ready for a b/day party usually includes running around last minute, frantic over forgetting something (like ice cream!). I love my kids to death – but they definitely add to my last minute-I’m-forgetting-something-stress.
I had a brilliant idea – they could stay the night w/Aunt Sisa! Duh – why didn’t I think of that before?!
They were both excited – and it appears the dogs were happy to have two extra kids to sleep on.
The national worry about how vicious pits are is quite obvious as evidenced above..
Staying with my sister usually means the girls do not get enough sleep. They come home tired and crabby. I did not figure that into the equation of no kids in the way while I did my last minute things.
O.M.G. were they crabby on Saturday. Cadence cried about E.V.E.R.Y.T.H.I.N.G. It was stressing me out more than if they had just stayed home the night before.
We got through MOST of the party without a tear, but before and after were a true test of my love to her. Grrrr.
Dennis didn’t want me to make her cake – he said I’d make a mess (true) and be stressed (true) and really pissed if it didn’t turn out (beyond true). He ordered one from Meijer & we threw on some LaLaLoopsy mini-dolls.
The only downside…Dennis ordered a SHEET cake. As in it could feed a small village. We did not invite a small village over, so we have probably ½ of it left. That is even with us giving everyone that came to my house pieces the size of a brick to take home!
I was looking forward to sleeping in yesterday – or trying to – since I’ve been getting up uber-early as of late. I was actually heading in the right direction until 7:10 when I heard a loud boom & Bryleigh started crying over the baby monitor. I jumped up to get her - she was already coming out of her room. She had fallen out of her bed. My poor pumpkin. I brought her to bed w/me & she fell right to sleep. I did too, for about a ½ hr. That was the latest I’ve slept in about 2 wks!
Yesterday the kids had their Valentine pictures (our photographer was doing a V-day special – no we do not always get V-day pics!) and this is one of the outfits Cai changed in to during it…
After we went to dinner @ TGIF – a gift card from my momma from Christmas & stopped at Walmart after to pick up a bed rail so my baby doesn’t fall out anymore…and finally home to relax. Dennis made a fire & the girls played w/the Lego Friends Cai got for her b/day. The family room got hot FAST – the girls faces were beet red…. Mine probably was too – but I didn’t take photographic proof..the girls looked cute..me – not so much!
Finally, the winner of the ‘One for the Money’ movie give-away…

Motorcycles = DVT's & Contest Winner
For as long as I can remember I have been scared of motorcycles. My dad had one for a long time when I was younger. My aunt & uncle also did. My cousins used to ride w/them all the time.
I didn't want to. My aunt forced me on one when I was abt 3. I don't know if she scarred me, but I have never been on one since.
In 1976, my dad had a motorcycle accident. He developed DVT's.
They are nothing to joke about. Throughout the rest of his life he'd occasionally be hospitalized b/c of them. I never realized how serious they were - I was a kid.
When I was pregnant w/Cadence, I developed DVT's. Eight of them..the longest was 2 ft long. In my left calf & thigh. It was extremely serious & dangerous. I was in the hospital for week & a 1/2. Because of the family history, I'm on coumadin forever. I hate it. I hate that it's basically a rat poison, I hate that it's so dangerous...I hate that I need it.
When I was pregnant, I had to do lovenox shots b/c coumadin is dangerous to the baby.
My dad ending up dying because of blood clots. One broke loose & traveled to his lungs. Worst day of my life.
Anyway, Dennis had a motorcycle accident in November & broke his leg. He finally started physical therapy 3 wks ago. His leg has been SUPER swollen. He went for a doppler on Thurdsay...yep, he has blood clots. Two small ones in his right calf. Have I mentioned I hate motorcycles?
It's been a long weekend. Thankfully b/c they are small, he was able to come home instead of being admitted. He has to take coumadin for 6 mos. He has to do lovenox shots for 6 days until the coumadin builds up in his system.
Seriously - I wanted to shake him & tell him this is why I didn't want him to have a motorcycle. But I didn't. He was freaked out about everything & I didn't think the "I told you so's" would help the situation.
So, that is why I'm a day late on announcing the winner...
The winner is:
True Random Number Generator Min:1 Max:6 Result: 5 Powered by RANDOM.ORG
Sierra - please send me your info. You didn't leave an email address, so I'm not sure how to get back to you. Please respond by 1/27/12 - thank you!
I don't know why I can't get the generator to post on my blog...but it's frustrating me to no end, so I give up.
The next contest will be this weekend - so stop back by & try then! :)

I HATE strep...Contest Winner...Next contest details...
What a crazy week it’s been here. It started Sunday with me heading to the urgent care bright & early where the dr told me I had strep & an ear infection.
Sweet – no wonder it feels like I’m swallowing shards of glass.
Monday between my fever & sore throat, I didn’t make it into work – instead I took about 4 naps throughout the day & when I wasn’t napping, I was lying on the couch like a bump on a log.
Tuesday I made it back to work – but quite honestly, still felt like crap. By Tuesday nite, I was exhausted but my throat finally quit hurting. Plus The Voice was on & it was my two favorite teams – Adam & CeeLo - so that helped a lot! :)
Wednesday was a lot better, except for my glands still being swollen… After work we went to the store and out to dinner…then home to relax for the evening. We had picked up a new potty chair for Bry & she used it as soon as we put it together. She went poop & potty!! It was too easy & I’m sure only beginner’s luck!
Thursday was long – I left home at 7:30 in the morning & didn’t walk back in the door until 8:45 that evening! WHOA!! After a few hours of overtime, I joined the rest of the family at Stephanie’s for Dane’s 4th birthday party! The kids ran around like crazy people & we joked about how much my family disliked Lisa when we were growing up – haha!
The girls didn’t eat at the party – they were too busy playing, so we stopped at McD’s on the way home & got them some dinner.
When we got home, the girls played – we kept Bry up til 9:45 b/c she’s been waking up at like 6:00 every morning – yuck.
She was really starting to show how tired she was by 9:30 – and after a potty chair break, fresh diaper & pj’s she happily headed to bed & was out right away. I tried a bunch of times to get online to Random Number a winner – but not my service was not working well last nite. It was actually quite frustrating!!
So…without further ado…
The winner of the Hobby Lobby & Kohl’s gift card…
Brooke – please contact me with your information!!
Thanks again for entering…I’m excited for my next contest next week – it centers around my favorite thing…reading. When I read a book, I love to pick up a large Diet Sprite w/cherry juice from Sonic & a candy bar. Right now I’m obsessed with the Coconut Twix bars – YUM!!
So in honor of my favorite past time & my favorite author – Janet Evanovich - I’ll be giving away the new Janet Evanovich book – Smokin Seventeen & 2 Coconut Twix bars & a $5 gift card to Sonic…
See you next week!!
