On to 2009

snow on christmas day....at my parents...and this was not the end of it lol

Lack of blogging has been due to the crappy few months around here lol.

At least for now, we are all almost healthy.

Christmas came and went...and for some reason it just didn't feel the same.

Brandon was working most of it...and we got covered in a few feet of snow, which left many stranded at home.

I can say I am really ready to begin a new year. The end of this one has been rough.

Its been over 2 months since I miscarried. And I still think about it. And I really wish it would be easy to get pregnant again.

I can admit I am jealous of the people who are pregnant now, due around the same time I was supposed to me...wondering why it worked for them and not me...sigh.

I am thinking of heading back to bootcamp in the new year as well. I am FINALLY in a normal weight and BMI. yay me lol. But in 10 more pounds I will be skinny ;) haha

I wear a medium well now, but I want to be bikini ready :)

that is if I can tan the stretch marks to be less noticeable lol.

This is the one thing that really makes me feel good. How far I came losing weight and keeping it off.

WELL mostly. I think 2 pounds crept back over christmas, but it was SO worth it and I AM OK WITH IT lol.

I start my new part time line at delta hospital on Jan 1. I will be working 8 hr shifts. yay! and almost all 7-3. I am excited about that....to be a permanent staff member.

Although, I think brandon wants me to stay at home again ;) I have been spoiling him with cooking and baking....he remembers the old days haha.

well that is all I have to say for now.

On to 2009 and pray for a better year :)

Happy Holidays?!

Not if James keeps getting sick.
This time it was a cold gone wrong, giving him croup, and constricting his airways.
Yup, we were at the hospital AGAIN. This time for nebulizers (face mask that gives medications that look like smoke) James was not a fan.
Of course any tubes he sees he is going to scream....nightmares about the NG tube still I assume.
After a good dose of steroids, he seems ok. Just the cold now.
But, I tell ya we may as well rent a room at the hospital.
sigh.

what else can I tell ya?!
oh yes, I got my belly button re-pierced...and my nose.
crazy?! maybe, but I like.
no tattoos for me, just these :)
And they look good ;) even hubby agress.

work is work...still love it. but the night shifts kill me.
maybe Jan. I will have a nice part time 8 hr line. I should know tomorrow!!! yay!

and the biggest news? brandon bought me a new car for christmas.
it was supposed to be a suprise, but the original deal he made feel through, so he had no choice but to tell me, as the van needed to go back.
So we got to go together and pick one. we opted out of a domestic and went import.
I am getting a mazda 5 gt in stormy blue. its so nice.
it seats 6, has a nice sun roof and is good on gas.
it is way smaller then the van, but still has enough room.
I am excited. It is sitting on a boat now, headed to the port I believe. Should be here in a day or two I guess.

The kids are doing well. Arianna had a couple days of bad behavior at school but seems to be corrected. thank goodness! And you know James' story lately lol.
they are obsessed with christmas music.
I bought them the little peoples christmas cd, and they listen to it ALL day.
it has all the common christmas songs. so they are learning.
It has been great, they have been playing so nice and spending a lot of time in their room ;)
what am I going to do when christmas is over?! lol
