off of my soap box

as in my last post i am calmer now thanks to some cool air and some nicotine.... this time of the year at my job is relentless(yes i know i misspelled earlier) year end ,w2's,1099's so forth and so on making sure that all numbers balance. however last night i am sitting with steven and he is on the laptop typing and playing pbs games and i realize how much he has grown. when ronnie and i first got together steven was under 2 and just looking at him and realizing that he is growing everyday. it is crazy.. and it amazes me , i just have to slow down enough to watch it happen. well i hear some more numbers calling my name. "balance me. balance me come find 3.18 in 6.4 million" haha

are you kidding me!!!!!!

Everyone has come back from the holidays RESTED!! are you kidding me? I am so over "the holidays". Granted we "hosted" Thanksgiving and then my parents came for Christmas and then New Years was just the 3 of us. I am exhausted, no other word for it. I feel like ALL i did was cook and clean up. January 5th never looked so good. I was so busy i feel like i did not get the opportunity to enjoy being with my family. quick run down
dec 22nd( i think) steven comes home - dogs are out and one is in dog jail
dec 24th - my parents are in my home alone - in the middle of a hot rain storm the a/c goes out in the truck - not happy
dec 25 th - pretty good - however my dad and i are looking for liquer. too many kids
dec 26 th house is destroyed with no survivors...it is raining
dec 27 - - did i mention that the dog that didnt get arrested destroyed our bathroom( a german shephard can break a toliet) while ronnie was fixing the containment wires for the backyard( spent 3hrs looking for a toliet to fit a 10 inch rough in.)
dec 28 - made a 12 inch toliet fit in a 10 inch area!!!!!!

and that was just at Christmas...... life back to normal , please come my way.
not to even mention the unrentless hot flashes that have taken over my life. Calgon take me away. may the new year find you healthy and happy, i am personally going now to stand outside in the cold and cool off and dare anyone to say something about my smoke break. HAHA

thoughts at Christmas

Steven comes home tonight .. finally..he has been with my parents and cousins in Disney since the 12th and then followed by 3 days at the condo on the beach. I am ready for him to be home, however he has had the best time. and so enjoyed the water. My dad took him fishing for the first time in the gulf and the at 4 caught the first fish and the most fish and helped my mama reel in her hammerhead shark which he thought was so cool and then Sunday was their beach day and he decided that he was going to swim out to my dad. no fear.. he did get to touch a shark that day. I hope to have pictures to post from the trip. Christmas time always make me think to that first Christmas with Steven and how heavy my heart was, which brings me to my mother who on the first trip to Baton Rouge played a song in the car "Joy Comes in the Morning", which of course had my crying like a baby,I have been listening to a lot lately along with the Gaither version of " Rock of Ages", this Christmas is also the frist anniversary of my grandmother passing. I am going to try to put both those songs on this post, just don't know if I can do that. But when Vestal Goodman sings her part "When I draw my fleeting breath and my eyes shall close in vain." It gives me chills
Have a Merry Christmas one and all

Merry Snow Day

yes it snowed in Baton Rouge today and only 4 of us are at work. this is Steven's Christmas pic from school.

Exciting weekend...

This is going to be a great weekend, since Ronnie and I have been married, the first weekend in December that we have Drake we go to the Tree Farm in Zachary and let the boys "cut down" the Christmas tree. The first Christmas we were married I actually took a camera as Steven was only 2 and Drake was 6. The image I was able to capture makes me nearly cry every time I look at it. To me it borders on a Norman Rockwell painting. I will try to get it posted Monday. After cutting the tree down we go up to the little shop they have and everyone picks out one ornament to put on the tree. Steven's first ornament was a football shaped pig. I have no idea, I guess he just liked it. I cant wait to see what he picks out this year, Drake chose a hunter sitting on a shotgun shell, Ronnie a motorcycle jacket, and I picked up Santa kneeling at the manger. I can only imagine in the years to come what will be on the tree and the years of teasing over the football shaped pink pig.

Happy Turkeys

Another holiday succesfully under the belt. We had Ronnie's family at the house this year. Our first major holiday in the "new house". 13 in all. Ronnie fried a turkey and it was wonderful, infact there was not the first crumb left. This was my first time to "do Thanksgiving" usually it has been with my parents or at other people's house. Needless to say, my little helper and i cooked stuff until 10 wednesday night. And at 10 pm when the first raw egg hit the floor I knew it was time to go to bed and hit it again in the morning. All in all it was a nice Thanksgiving and could not have asked for any better. ps hope to have new pics soon
