Yikes! I'm a Mom!!

Fall is here!

2011-10-24T17:19:00.000-05:00

Fall time has arrived, can not believe that the summer went by so fast. It was a great one. Good by summer of 2011....hello fall of 2011.
The boys are loving school. Matthew is in 5th grade, his final year of elementary school, while my baby is in 1st grade. They are doing real well, Jonathan is reading so much and I love it, I make him read his books to me..he is so cute. Matthew is doing good, keeping my fingers crossed that he excels, 4th grade was tough for him. As far as me and kenny, we have been good, married for 12years, it has been great, I love him so much. Work has been great, I'm always saying that I'm going to quit, i miss being a SAHM, but my job has been so great. Cindy and Dr. Seifert have been so understanding with all my craziness LOL. Wewent pumpkin picking the beginning of the month, it was dismal picking, last year I got some great stuff, this year not so great. Here is a picture of my favorite men. The 3 loves of my life. I'm hoping I can keep this blog up. I have had it for awhile:) Until next time.

Summer of 2011

2011-08-04T18:48:00.001-05:00

I have to say this... It has been a different summer than want we are use too, but it has been so much fun. The boys are super active with making new friends and hanging with the old ones. I have been working, but yet making time for my guys . All in all it has been so much fun!!

Trying again

2011-07-09T17:29:00.001-05:00

So after not blogging since oct, I thought I would give it another shot.
So much has happened in the course of a few months. I finished school, got a job and suffered the loss of my teacher, she was such a great person, we learned alot from her.
He boys finished baseball season, Matthew 's team even made it to the playoffs, it was good , but stressful at the same time.
Other than that, we are enjoying the summer.

WOW...Oct!!

2010-10-07T09:06:00.000-05:00

So sorry that I haven't blogged in a few weeks, life has gotten a little crazy, but fun.
My kids have been enjoying school, they have adapted pretty well.
I have been going to the gym and so far lost 5 lbs, so happy!! I even ran 5miles the other day, I told Kenny once I'm done with school, I will be training for a 1/2 marathon. I need to do this.
School is coming in about 2 weeks, I'm so excited, but nervous at the same time, but I can't wait. This fall is all about me. I need to do stuff for me, that doesn't mean I will stop doing stuff for my men, it's just that me will be included:) Well hopefully I will blog more this month.

Lazy Sunday.

2010-09-19T10:31:00.000-05:00

So that is the theme of today. As I sit in my kitchen drinking my second cup of java. It is a beautiful day out and me and the boys want to stay inside and do nothing, we are still in our pj's. It's a perfect day.

Back to the gym

2010-09-13T12:54:00.000-05:00

Now that my kids are in school, there is no excuse for me to slack, I was doing so well at one point and then with my asthma, everything went downhill. I started going last week and I have been going almost everyday, even when we were away this past weekend, I went and worked out. I love the way I feel, so enegrgized, I sleep so much better. I have been eating alot better as well. I made my daily trip to Trader Joe's( love that place)

Here is a picture of me this am at the gym.

You will be hearing more and more about my gym stories and even pictures:)

New PJ's

2010-09-09T18:53:00.001-05:00

The boys got new PJ's today:)

School Days

2010-09-08T07:02:00.000-05:00

The start of the new school year, I can't believe that I have a kid in 4th grade and my baby in kindergarten.

I had a knot in my stomach the whole day, but they both had a great day which made me feel better. Matthew was excited by telling me who of his friends where in his class, and Jonathan was happy that he got to play with playdough :) He even wanted to go back, oh I think that can be arranged.

My baby waiting for the bus:)

Now back to the hectic schedules. I do miss them though, the house is so quiet with out them:(

The return of Family fun night.

2010-09-03T20:28:00.000-05:00

The kids go back on tuesday, so we decided to get back to our friday family fun night. We either play a boardgame or we play the wii, no matter what we do, it's always as a family.

Our day started as we waited for Hurricane or tropical Storm earl.

It was pouring out today. I thought I had to get the canoe at some point during the day.

For dinner I made a kick ass manicotti

Then me and Kenny had some juice to drink LOL!!!

It was a fun family fun night. The boys love playing with the Wii.

All in all a good night.

Have a great Labor weekend all.

Smooches!

Hurricane Earl.

2010-09-02T20:07:00.000-05:00

So I'm making myself crazy watching all the weather reports. We bought in all of our deck furniture, put the umbrella's away and the chairs. Our deck looks so clean, I'm kind of glad for this warning, forced us to get rid of stuff LOL!!! Well here is the projected path for Hurricane Earl. Right now it's a catergory 3. I just hope it does not decide to move just a little bit.

So after being on the computer and getting updates from weather.com. I came across this website from another blog

Cool manicures it looks really cool. I love funky designs and this was over the top. I love this one a twitter design.

And this one is cute too

Back to weather.com LOL!!

Going back to school!

2010-09-01T09:17:00.000-05:00

That would be me LOL!! I have decided to do something with my life now that the kids are going back to school. I enrolled in a business school to take courses in Medical billing.

I met with my counsleor and she has been great! So supportive and so easy to talk to, makes it so much easier for someone like me, who hasn't been in school for over 10 years LOL!! Look at the nice note she gave me after I registered

That was so nice of her, makes me feel real good.

I'm scared, but happy to be going on this new adventure.

Can't wait to start!!

Good Bye Summer 2010

2010-09-01T09:13:00.000-05:00

So August has been a busy month trying to keep the boys busy, alot of nights have turned like this.

All is all it has been a great summer. We went to Saratoga Springs

for a few days, then the rest of the month, it was about going to the beach, parties, playdates, pool, night swimming. It has been a great summer. Now we are winding down and getting ready for school. The boys start on Tuesday.

My boys.

2010-07-27T07:32:00.001-05:00

So lately, I have been having trouble putting my boys to bed. Last night I was really tired and sent them to bed at 8:30p. Well I was on my Facebook and I came across this picture.

Matthew posted it on his FB...with his Nintendo DSi. Needless to say I need to take it away from him at bed time.

I have to admit, that's funny :)

A True Man.

2010-07-25T15:02:00.000-05:00

As I sit at my desk, and watch it pouring cats and dogs outside. My youngest comes to me without shorts on and says that he is looking for a book, I ask what for, and he goes " Mommy I have to poop and need something to read" LMAO!!!

Choices.

2010-07-25T09:26:00.001-05:00

So sitting here drinking my java. Thinking ahead to what I'm going to do once the boys go to school. I was looking at my local community college pamphlet, and at some classes. I found one for pharmacy technician and want to do it, but I'm afraid it will take alot of time away from my boys, and the classes are at night.

Then I'm thinking, why don't I work first. Ahhh so many choices, why does this all have to be so hard. Why can't I just win a lottery LOL!

My Friday picture of the day.

2010-07-23T08:22:00.000-05:00

See what I put up with LOL! he thought it was the most funniest thing. Pants on top and shirt on the bottom.

Disney Pictures

2010-07-22T08:10:00.000-05:00

2010-05-26T11:24:00.000-05:00

So this is our weather so far and it's only noon. I'm so happy, I love the hot weather. We are getting the pool ready, the cover is off, Kenny is getting some chemicals and we should be almost done. Hopefully the weather will stay like this for awhile.

Chobani Yogurt.

2010-05-19T12:51:00.000-05:00

My lastest wonderful cravings. I love this yogurt, they have so many flavors and I went to stop and shop the other day and yes!!! They had pomegranate, my favorite. I eat these every morning for breakfast...delish!

Fire Pit Time.

2010-05-19T12:47:00.000-05:00

This is how we spent our Sunday. It was wonderful, we were outside all day, planting my garden and cleaning out the shed, we had a yummy BBQ and then ended the night with the fire pit. Love it!

Welcome!

2010-05-13T17:00:00.001-05:00

To my new looking blog....I still have to learn more about blogger and what it can do for me..it's a work in progress.
Well...the kids are circling me like vultures for dinner...so I will have to go..I might have to change it later again LOL! Kenny is playing baseball and I will be putting the kids to bed early, so I can have some alone me time...after the day I have had...I deserve it damn it :)

Enjoying a lazy rainy day with Jonathan:)

Jonathan

2010-05-08T16:49:00.000-05:00

Enough said.

Do you hear what I hear?

2010-05-04T19:23:00.000-05:00

Silence, pure wonderful silence...No Tv's, no loud screaming...nothing. I'm doing my happy dance right now LOL. The boys are in bed, and Kenny had to run out.

Today I went to Hot Yoga, I love it, but today was a little crazy, it was another teacher, his name is Pete and he was brutal, it was way to hot and I was literally soaking wet with sweat( I know gross) I actually had to leave the class and get myself together for about 2 minutes. My friend Gina went with me(since it's like a block away from her house) and she said that after the class some of the girls were saying that it was too hot. Thank goodness. i will still go back though, just have to be super hydrated.
Nothing else going on, so I will go and get myself a nice bowl of ice cream:)
Smooches!

So, I'm back! I have been sought after by the blog police:) Today is June 1st, the start of another crazy month, but good crazy. Matthew has his bronx zoo trip tomorrow and he is so excited!!!

Then we have so many birthday parties to tend too, it's not

even funny the amount of parties we need to go too.

Then at the end of the month, we have our exciting trip to Nickolodean hotel in Orlando florida, I want to get slimed so bad LOL!

Matthew has been doing so well in school, so proud of him.

Jonathan has come such a long way with speech, he is speaking in full sentences and is able to hold a conversation. It's great.

Me and Kenny are hitting the 10 yr of marriage in Sept, wow!!!

I'm so happy , he is truly a wonderful man, a great father and the love of my life.

I have been having some health issues, just discovered I have asthma, great! So I have been learning how to deal with it. I have also been hitting the gym hard, love it! It just makes me feel great. I even have taken hot yoga, thanks to my good friend Lidia.

Plus I have been dealing with some family drama, hopefully will get resolved soon.

So here is to more blogging and pictures soon:)

Smart Kid

2008-09-06T16:41:00.002-05:00

Still potty training Jonathan, this kid won't poo in the toilet, so what has he been doing. I make sure he's in undewear all day, even for naps, he does good...he needs to pee, he tells me. For naps he stays dry.
So one day he wanted to poo, I put him down and go downstairs...I hear noise in his room, ok he is not asleep...I go check on him..he goes 'mommy poopy" he shows me his pullup...which he put on himself to poo. This kid is smart, he just doesn't want to go LOL!!!

Back to school Shopping

2008-08-07T12:12:00.001-05:00

So that's what we did yesterday and today. I bought matthew his clothes, and then today we bought this school supplies. Matthew picked out this awesome backpack and I picked one out for Jonathan:(

**sniff sniff** Then it hit me...he is going to go to school, no more baby. No no...I'm done, so don't even think about it LOL!!!

Matthew and his rocker backpack LOL.

Jonathan loving his Thomas backpack.

Bobby's Burger Palace (BBP for short)

2008-07-22T09:16:00.002-05:00

So me and my sister went to check out his burger joint,

that opened up in Smithtown at the Smithaven Mall.

Love Bobby flay.

We get there, your order your food in the front, pay, get your number

and then sit down anywhere.

We thought it would be neat to sit at the counter.

Bad move...I mean the food was awesome, I ordered the LA burger

avocado relish, watercress on a cheeseburger.

My sister ordered the Napa Valley Burger, goat cheese, a lemon mustard and lettuce burger.

Chocolate milkshake and a beer.

We sat there enjoying our conversation, when the lady next to us

started complaining(she ordered a salad) Why do you order a salad at a burger joint. She said it didn't come with the stuff that was listed on the menu. Meanwhile she ate the whole salad. As they apologized, she kept at it and at it. Saying how long was the place opened yada yada.

Then it started, the nose blowing, and it wasn't subtle, she sneezed and bl owed her nose 7 times!!!! It was so loud and disgusting. Everyone was staring at her. I gave her a dirty look and she didn't care. As she left she told the manager she was going to email bobby flay...I chuckled. Good luck lady! When she and her friend got up to leave I clapped, that's when she looked and I just smiled at her LOL!!!

What an experience :)

Here we go again:(

2008-07-19T11:09:00.002-05:00

So at like around 3:30a, we were vandalized. kenny woke up hearing a car outside...went to the bathroom and the car took off. Well our gate is torn apart the front and to the side...they proceeded to take the wood off and put it in our mailbox and our neighbors. Kenny is outside now...putting the gate back together. My stomach has been in knots all day and we haven't slept since 3:30a.
These kids nowadays with money, have nothing better to do than to do this...they think since they have all the money, they don't care about the"regular" people. Don't care that's it's not there neighborhood. Screw the police. Suffolk county cops is one of the highest paid officers in NY and they don't do shit about taking care of the nighborhood...if you call them, they will come when it's WAY to late. We will be esleeping with our bats tonight and if you see us in the news, you know why LOL!!
I'm so tired and done. I think we are going to fix our room and put our house on the market, because frankly, I'm so over this. I want to live in peace, not with one eye open.

Customer Service

2008-07-18T08:37:00.002-05:00

Whatever happend to good customer service.
Is it because of the heat...that people are idiots!!!! I hate people with bad attitudes. I called for a reservation last night for dinner...the guy was like we have for 8p and later and I was oooohh...that's the earliest and the guy replied with a snippy remark" we have over 150 reservations" ok like that's my problem. I said no thanks and hung up. Never going there ever.
This morning...I forgot I had a playdate and Matthew had a follow up with the Dr's office...I called to make it later...the secretary was like time...what time did you want to come in...I go around one and then she with a attitude was like" well that's lunch time" Then don't fucking ask me...you dumb ass. I said how about 2, and she was like that's fine and then I said ok and hung up.
Why oh why must I go through this especially when Erma is about to come. People just tick me off...ok now that is my vent for now.

Crystal Light and Vodka

2008-07-14T17:38:00.003-05:00

Got you attention...didn't I:)

Well my Bil and his wife came to the house this weekend

and they are always going through some new diet...but I have learned

a little something..of course it had to do with alcohol. If you mix crystal light and water..throw some ice in a cup an

add vodka to it..it is have the calories than my French martini...or any

other martini we drink. I loved it...I used the lemonade and I'm hooked...of course...seeing that it's just vodka and crystal light...you

get tipsy quickly LOL!!!

What's wrong?

2008-07-11T09:44:00.001-05:00

So...Jonathan was looking puzzled one day and I was like what's wrong...he goes Mimi. I'm like Mimi what and then he pointed up above LOL!! He threw mimi up top.

My boys

2008-07-11T09:29:00.000-05:00

Here is some pics of my boys. I'm also trying Picasa.

New do.

2008-07-10T09:14:00.003-05:00

How you like me now? LOL!

My long hair was getting on my nerves so bad...it was thick...heavy..out of control. So the best thing for me was to cut it.

With the help of friend of mine Kim...she did it all..and I love it!!!

I feel free!!!!!!!1

Boo Boo:(

2008-07-06T14:14:00.005-05:00

Yes...we got our first Boo Boo of the summer

season... Matthew was running and scraped his knee badly...Thank goodness, I had this handy dandy kit with me..I bought it at CVS...and it was good...everything I needed for the injured, screaming child, of course earplugs were not included. Boys will be boys.

July 4th Weekend.

2008-07-06T14:05:00.002-05:00

So the boys wanted to go in the pool today...it's a muggy day...not

too..too hot..but icky.

Here the boys are waiting for daddy(I didn't feel like going in)

Mr. Cool

Finally the wait is over...Pool time!!
Great action shots of Matthew:)

Summer time

2008-07-01T12:51:00.002-05:00

I love the summer...right now I have my laptop and drinking my herbal tea outside...will Matthew and his friend play in the pool. Jonathan is asleep and life is grand.
I remember the summer when I was growing up, we would be thrown outside after breakfast and came back home in time for dinner. I grew up in a neighborhood full of kids...we all played with each other, whether it was baseball...bike racing in the streets or just hanging out, those where the days.
I hope Matthew has memories like that.

I now have a second grader:(

2008-06-27T21:29:00.005-05:00

Where does the time go? Matthew got an excellent report card with almost all 4's(4 being the highest) a few 3's, but that's ok..he did really good. I hope he is that well in second grade. I think the honeymoon is over and 2nd grade will be a little harder...but I think he is up for the challenge.

So I went to the end of year brunch...I almost made Mrs. Gallagher cry..way to go LOL. She was such a wonderful teacher...Matthew loved it because of her and her patience was tremendous especially with dealing with Matthew LOL!

Be afraid...very afraid of these 2:)
Then run like the wind when you see these 4 LOL!!! The 4 amigos. I'm glad he made some friends.
Mrs. Gallagher and Matthew.

Potty training update.

2008-06-27T21:19:00.002-05:00

Well, it wasn't much harder than I thought. I can't believe he manage it to pee in the potty with no problems. He even woke up this am with a dry diaper, and then went to the bathroom to pee...shocked, why yes. This is the same kid that 2 weeks ago pointed his finger at me and said "no potty".
It's amazing how happy he is when he sees that he is peeing. Too funny. Next is the poopy...he did do it in his underwear...I didn't get that lucky...but I'm taking it one day at a time. Now I know that he will be potty trained for school in sept...all that stress and pimple growing was all for nothing. I underestimated Sir Jonathan...yet again. The diapers will be done and now I can rest easy...i will miss having a baby, now he will be a big boy **sigh**. Maybe it's time for another...haha, I jest.
Stay tuned for more updates:)

Operation: Potty Training.

2008-06-18T07:42:00.001-05:00

I'm going to do it. Jonathan turns 3 at the end of the month...so that week is going to be hard core potty training...I'm staying home for that week. I bought him Thomas underwears...and I'm ready to go. I'm sick and tired of changing diapers...especially poopy ones....I'm sooooo done!
So wish me luck and I have to make sure to stock up on some wine LOL!

Family trip!

2008-06-18T06:47:00.003-05:00

So we are going on our first family trip of the year...we are going to see Thomas the train in PA. I can't wait! Jonathan is going to flip out , when he See's Thomas up close. We are staying in Lancaster...I just hope the boys don't drive us nuts LOL! We are going to meet with a good friend of mine over there. We are leaving tomorrow after Matthew gets out of school...we are just going to throw him in the car and off we go...to hit traffic LOL! I will take alot of pics...I can't wait.

Self Induced Coma

2008-06-13T20:09:00.003-05:00

That's what I did LOL! I took 2 Benedryl's for my wonderful allergic reaction to my meds. Mind you I have never taken Benedryl ever in my life. It hit me like 1/2hr later. I laid on the couch and passed out...well not totally because Jonathan was still up... I just poped a Dora DVD and I got bto stay on the couch.
I didn' t know which is worse wanting to rip my skin off or being in a coma. Oi Vey.

Kenny in the pool.

2008-06-07T19:45:00.002-05:00

He was attempting to jump over Matthew...didn't quite work LOL!! God, I love my camera:)

Why I love summer:)

2008-06-07T19:37:00.003-05:00

These are the reasons why I love summer. We went in the pool....had a bbq...saw a frog...had drinks. This is only the beginning, and I can't wait until the rest:)

Scream!!!!!!!!!

2008-05-27T14:22:00.002-05:00

Ok why does he does this....a high pitch, holy deaf noise. Is he my child? Did Aliens come and abduct my cute little bit for this screamer. Case in point, went to mygym today wanted to go on the swings...only there isn't anymore swings...all the kids are on it...so he starts yelling...he's red and I feel like the worst mommy ever...the silence is deafening and I know everyone is looking at me...so I take him to the bathroom to calm him down...he's calm only to have start at it again moments later. So it was time for us to go home.
So next time you see a screaming kid and the mother looking helpless...think of me:)

Kenny's Birthday Weekend

2008-05-25T19:06:00.011-05:00

So it was Kenny's birthday weekend, along with memorial day weekend, funny how we were going to the city as everyone was leaving.

We get to the hotel and the room is not ready...arghhh! I thought we were on the preferred list or whatever...I guess not. No matter I had a yummy martini:)

So we got our room and the partying began LOL! The room was so nice of course, the view would have been nice if the lovely cranes were not in the way.

Times Square Kenny's happy place:)
Kenny trying Sushi..huh?what?who? Ok so it had no fish in it LOL!

Empire State Building

Kenny's Little brother Erik, he is in the navy and in the city, this week is fleet week.

All in All it was a great weekend. One more year until the big 40!!

Sick:(

2008-05-20T18:25:00.003-05:00

So I'm sick...Yuck. I have no energy for anything...yet I did ALL my laundry...even put it away. As I'm in the kitchen I hear Matthew yell "Jonathan, NO!" Great now what has my terror done. I went to target earlier today and I got some carpet deodorant. Well the pictures will tell all. Now I have a headache. Who's kid is this. Shockingly Matthew vaccumed up the mess, hmmmmmm...what does he want? Well time for the devil to sleep, that way he can dream evil thoughts.

Nice Day.

2008-05-17T18:45:00.007-05:00

It was a nice day out today...my allergies were in check for once...I feel great after my hangover LOL!

Matthew's cousin Lorenzo came over and they hung out playing.

Nannie's Wedding

2008-05-17T18:30:00.004-05:00

Rain?!?! What a rain?

It did. The whole damn day...we were on the LIE HOV lane for almost 2 hours...hello? Isn't this the lane that suppose to move quickly...ugh...it was all good...champagne...wine, what we needed was FOOD LOL!

We get there and it's a picture frenzy...stand here....put your arms here...raise your flowers..smile! I smelled the food and I was like food!!!

The cocktail hour was great...drinks...food...yum! The bride was beautiful...the bridesmaids HOT LOL! We left at 12:30a. Matthew lasted until 11:45p....poor thing, he was so tired.

Mother's day 2008

2008-05-12T09:32:00.005-05:00

Another Mother's Day, come and gone. It was ok...except for Jonathan waking up at 7a, screaming his head off, or even at 7:30a when Matthew and Jonathan were both fighting. Where was my loving husband....just lying down watching them fight. Ahhh fun times.

So I go back to bed, just five more minutes. Then the chirping begins...damn birds!!! I have aquired a nest in my ac unit, every stinking year, why do I do this. Ok now I'm not sleepy anymore. I stay in my bed and watch the news. I close the door shut, so no one comes in...1 minute later "Mommy, where are you?" Great, now I have to get up, because the banging on the door has started. Might as well get dressed. Get up and everyone is dressed, go to breakfast, go to BJ's and then the liqour store. Love it!

My parents come over...I'm dead tired. I decide to go to Lowe's with my mom to get some plants...not really the flower type so I get some veggies...tomatoes...yellow peppers...rosemary...and strawberries. Came home and planted everything love it...can't wait.

Had a bbq, sang Happy Birthday to my sister and kicked everyone out. Thanks for coming, now leave:)

Here are some pics of my lovely garden.

My 100th post...woohoo!!

2008-05-09T10:54:00.002-05:00

These are my beautiful flowers given to me by Matthew..he was very excited to give them to me. That is te true meaning of Mother's day...Happiness.

Call me Crafty Mon!

2008-05-05T12:46:00.002-05:00

Well not yet LOL! For my mom, for Mother's Day. The boys will be working on a special notebook for my mom...poems in spanish...Matthew's drawings...even pictures of the boys. Jonathan will leave his handprints in a part of the book, as well as a drawing LOL! I went to Michael's and got the supplies needed...I have my pictures waiting at CVS, now I have to wait for Sir Matthew to come home from school and after his baseball game today. Hmmm...maybe we start tomorrow LOL!
Thanks to Daelyn for this wonderful idea...you rock girlie!!!

Soprano!

2008-05-02T14:28:00.002-05:00

So last night we had a charity event to attend...very nice and very swanky. They announced Vincent Pastore as a guest speaker and I'm like, that name sounds familiar...umm duh? It was big Sal "Big Pussy" Bonpensiero himself LOL! Kenny practically threw me next to him, very nice guy:)

I got to play black jack and it was fun...oh oh. Vegas here we come!!!

About time:)

2008-05-02T14:24:00.002-05:00

It was a rainy day and Jonathan was sick...but all in all it looked like the kids had a great time.

Help me!!

2008-04-08T18:44:00.002-05:00

VitaTops

2008-04-08T09:29:00.002-05:00

Yummy!!! Is all I have to say. My good friend Lidia...introduced me to these tasty treats. They are only 100 calories and they curb your hunger for a bit. I'm going to have one in a little while. I get mine at Stop and Shop where the vegetarian items are in the frozen section .

With a cup of coffee...delish!

Peapod

2008-04-08T09:24:00.002-05:00

What a wonderful thing. I'm running out of milk...but have enough until tomorrow( I swear we need a cow) I just went online and ordered my groceries. They will deliver it between 9a and 11a. I love it. I haven't done it in awhile and I didn't feel like going with Sir Jonathan.
The ony downfall is I need to get my meats...I can't order that...they will give you the most smallest pieces. Oh well that's fine. I truly recommend Peapodding your order.

PAIN!!!!

2008-04-06T10:26:00.003-05:00

The pain that I feel right now is excruciating. I feel like someone is pulling my insides out. I feel so much rage right now...I'am weak...I'am depressed and I'm so tired. I actually slept 12 hours last night.
What am I talking about...yep that's Erma, Aunt Flo. Whatever you call it. I go through this crap everymonth and I think this month takes the cake.
Why do women must go through this...the bleeding the cramping. Oh I know..we are the stronger sex LOL.
All kidding aside...this is what I have to go through...everymonth and no I do not want to take birth control. That messes me up as well. I just want t scream!
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
ok I'm done. Thanks for reading my crazy rant.
As you were:)

Bubble Bath

2008-03-17T19:01:00.003-05:00

So today we went for Jonathan's transition workshop....from speech into preschool with speech and man what an emotional day(suzanne..I have some paperwork for you to look at...maybe we can hook up...next week)I know that everything will be alright and that it's something that I'am doing to help him and that he will be fine...but I feel sad and I think I'am entitled to feel sad for a bit.They kept throwing the word disability around and everytime I did...I got upset and I kept thinking of my baby and how happy of a kid he is and how much we adore him.I went to the bathroom after the meeting and just cried and cried... on the upside I went shopping LOL!! That's it. Thanks for reading.

Sept 11, 1999

2007-09-11T10:08:00.000-05:00

It was a beautiful Sept day...there was not a cloud in the sky, the temp was in the 70's and I was awake since 6a...getting my bridesmaids ready to go and get our hair done.
He came into my life Dec 10, 1994..we were at a club, me and my good friend shana..she was going out with a freind of his...they started talking and then he turns to me do you want to dance..I said ok and the rest is history.
8 years of marriage we celebrate today...2 beautiful boys and I could not be happier. I love him so very much, he is a wonderful and caring man, he does everything for his family. His boys love him so much. I love it when he comes home and both of them run up to him and hug him and kiss him.
Kenny is my best freind, my companion, the father of my children, he knows when I'm mad, sad. My soulmate, My love

Matthew's First Day of School

2007-09-06T21:52:00.000-05:00

So Matthew's first day was a little off...he looked so happy this morning and then the school nurse calls me and tells him he had a bloody nose and he was very upset. They put him on the phone and my heart broke into a million pieces...I was trying not to lose it myself...plus the fact that Jonathan was a little off too...because his brother was not around...my stomach was in knots all day. I could not relax. Then he got home and he said that he had a fun but tiring day LOL!!

Tonight we took him to his favorite place to eat dinner Applebee's. I hope he has a better day tomorrow:)

Holy Cow!!!

2007-09-03T19:34:00.000-05:00

I have the most amazing husband. For months I wanted the canon rebel XTi...but it was pricey...so since our wedding anniversary is next week...guess who surprised me today...Yep. I was floored. Look how nice these pics came out

Phew!

2007-09-02T17:29:00.000-05:00

So glad that this weekend is over. I hosted a labor day party for my il's and it was alot of work...it was a fun day though but I was so tired. My berrtini's were a hit of the party:) The boys had so much fun. My allergies are kicking my ass...I could not stop sneezing, my eyes are itchy as hell and my nose is like a faucet. I still feel like that. Tomorrow I will be in A/C all day.
Today we went to the park for a BBQ and let me tell you...I was tired. Jonathan would not stop running all over the place and Matthew too. Then they proceeded to play in the sand, that was fun. I just don't want to do anything at all tomorrow.
My BIL is getting married in less than a week and I'am so happy for him. He is such a good guy, I hope she doesn't mess anything up. We know her dark side LOL!!! Other than that all is well in The Kortright world LOL!!!
