Today, I felt like a new person. 100% recovery baby, and so I went out for a walk by myself and just relaxed. Pain at the minimum. Okay, later today I was pooped, but still worth the walk..
The weather was divine, mid 60's and sunny. A dream come true,surely Spring is just around the corner.Yay, for warm weather and flowers, and green grass.

I little beauty I found on my walk. Every time I see pink, I think of this cute book PINKALICIOUS that a sweet friend Laura gave the girls, Phoebe makes me read it every night and every day. I think I dream in pink now.

That's what it sounded like to me. I guess everyone you see on a walk isn't really interested in talking or having a picture taken. Who knew? Either way, I thought he or she was a real cutie pie

A Day to Rest and Recover 76/365

I am feeling great tonight and thankful today is over. I had forgotten how much anethesia made me sick. I am such a wimp. I got the best care today from Michael and the kids. Phoebe played the role of mommy and even shared a sticky, wet, nasty lollipop with me. Ugh. It would have hurt her feelings not to try it. Caroline made me a picture of and angel, hmmm. I admit it, I'm a little nervous..lol. Had a blast talking to Katy, she is the best for phone conversation..

I do have news that requires praise and a prayer. My neice Karsten has been diagnosed with a growth in her ear. The praise is that it does not extend beyond the ear and tumors in the ear don't usually spread. Amen. Pray for her surgery and the hope that her hearing loss will be restored. I also ask for prayer for Mike, he is looking at a possible contract after over a year without even a nibble of a job. Thanks so much ..

Okay, I am heading up to bed. Sorry for the babbling, I will be more clear headed tomorrow..hugs

"All In All, It's Just Another Brick In The Wall" 75/365.

This song popped in my head when I looked at my photo.
Bringin' back the 80's

This is a desperate attempt at any kind of shot today. You would think with Phoebe at preschool today I would have tons of time. If only that were true. I guess I could have put off grocery shopping and cleaning the kitchen. The problem was, the cupboards were bare and the ants were trying to take over the counters. I felt I had no choice but to wage an all out assault on the little buggers. They were running onto the counter as fast as I was killing them ..I finally got the glass cleaner and just sat by spraying every one of those ants. I even found myself threatening them verbally. I do think I won this battle for today. No doubt, tonight they will wage a new war, but I will be waiting with my spray and a roll of paper towels..

Well, I need to get some sleep, war is never easy. I am sure the ants are waiting for me to show weakness, so rest is essential.
love to all, please pray for me on my mission.

Happy Birthday Em...74/365

Happy Birthday Em...74/365, originally uploaded by krispycrunch6.

Today is Em's 14th birthday. This little angel gave me two months notice to prepare for her birth. She came almost 3 weeks early and I barely had time to throw my clothes in a suitcase to get to the airport to see her that day. When I arrived she was all wrapped up in a pink blanket(she still has it in her bed today). She was soooo tiny and perfect. She had tiniest little toes and fingers. I was in love.


I brought her home to my in- laws at 2 days old. The night I brought Em home I felt sick and was forced to let my in laws care for my new baby that night. I cried all night. Luckily it was exhaustion and not the flu so I was able to hold her that next day.

Emily was the mostly colicky baby and only wanted her mommy. Today she is 14 and I am hard pressed to get her to sit next to me. As a mom with older kids, I realize this to shall pass. Emily is very beautiful, intelligent, and extremely athletic. She is also the fastest talker in the West. It's a gift.:)

Finally, I just want to add that I love this girl so much and I am so proud of her.Happy Birthday Emmie.

We Must Cross The Bridge To Get Home 73/365

We Must Cross The Bridge To Get Home 73/365, originally uploaded by krispycrunch6.

This is for the Blur Project, through Parallel Visions.. I cross the bridge every time I pick up the kids from school. Today was such a gorgeous day, I was able to walk Caroline home from school. I hope this is the beginning of our warm weather.

Tonight has been hectic with the kids. I have been trying for two hours to get kids to bed and still no one is settled down. I may actually lose my mind tonight. Needless to say, I need to go. My bath I have drawn will have to wait, bedtime for mommy will have to wait, putting the laundry up will have to wait, but by golly, the blog waits for no one.
