My Friends...

I can't get enough of my friends!! They are so stinkin talented!! Yesterday I was boycotting facebook..for 24 hours..I decided to update my blog..after 2 hours of trying to get a cool signature I found myself calling my friend Jenn to help me...She is so talented and has launched her own business ( click here to View it )for people like her best friend. She is amazing when it comes to cute and fun computer stuff.

Thanks Jenn for rescuing me and giving me a new blog header....I love it!!

P.S. How much do I owe you!?!

today...

Today I am sure my child will need therapy because of my lack of desire to play with her. She has watched 4 episodes of Olivia...not taking a break but only yelling at me from the living room to get her a cup, a sandwich, her doll and her blanky. So demanding...where does she get that from..must be my husbands side of the family..JOKING!! I love you all...

It is NOT that I don't want to play with her but I can only stand playing dolls for umm..about 7 minutes..but I push through creating 60 minutes worth of doll playing...Here is a doll conversation..

'oh, look her comes daddy from work"

"hi, daddy"

"can I have dinner?"

Typical..dad gets to go to work and enjoy a 45 minute commute..I wake up to my children at eye level yelling at me to get up and get them something to eat..I wake up to my 1 year old trying to peek over our footboard yelling...moommmaaa..I don't move..praying for him to give up and go back to sleep...

Dad gets to smell the outside air..Dad only has to worry about buckling up himself dad can shower in quiet and take a 10 minute shower not one that consist of opening up the door 10 times in your 6minutes to see if your child has put the make-up all over her brother. Dad will get the comfy chair..the remote..the big piece of chicken and coffee made the next morning for him.

You get it...I do have to say for the most part dad has to make sure we are ALL taken care of...

We are the moms..we are the ones who worry if our kids will need therapy ( I assure I will be blamed for some part of dysfunction in their lives) the ones who for the majority stay home with the kids all day and spend more time then they want to admit looking for adult conversation through social networking sites..once again my addicting behavior is shinning through..

I am trying really hard to spend all day creating things to do...we are learning to spell her name. We are counting to 30. We are learning to recognize the alphabet. This my friends is why I sometimes secretly envy working moms who get to drop off their child at daycare. Daycare children get to learn so much everyday...structure and playing nicely together and they adapt better..however I do get to control what my children are subject to. flip-side..I am the role model all day everyday (SCARY!!)

Today I wished I could dress up in nice clothes and go into an office with people who really don't care about me..only ask me how I am doing to be nice. People that could care less...no pressure to be that someones hero..no pressure....

Thursday's with Tiffiny

Hello my fellow blogger friends! I hope this week finds you all full with love. I am staying off facebook for the whole day so If you find that I have 101 blog postings it is only because I love this computer way to much. No seriously, facebook, myspace and blogging can take so much of my time. I find myself blog stalking, face staking and space stalking..
I do get my stuff done and often only popping in for a few minutes here or there but it is like therapy and a drug all rolled into one for me. I can't really carry on a conversation with a 1year old and 3 year old. I look around and I can only vacuum so many times or wipe the counter so many times. I guess what I am trying to say is I have no life!! My kids are my life and they are ALL taken care of. My computer addiction has not interfered with family..not yet...

So here is my weekly Thursday posting...Hope you enjoy!


I am thankful for...my new red kitchen!! I am forever grateful to my mother in law (and Papa) for opening up their home to have a small family gathering for a celebration in honor of my last baby turning 1 !! I am thankful for my children. They are a blessing and some days when the burden seems to much I know that there a millions of families wanting children and I have been blessed with 3 children!! 2 with premature births and one that I had to be on bedrest with. My Olivia...10 days in the NICU..I am blessed by our father in heaven..I may not feel so blessed in between dirty diapers, snotty noses and attitudes but I KNOW I am...

I'm listening to...Olivia tattle on Carter...Carter screaming and Olivia telling me how to spell her name. Olivia is now so excited that the new show " Olivia" is on...


What's for dinner tonight....Pulled pork fajitas in the crock pot!! Of course it is in the crock pot!

What I'm looking forward to...Carter Turning one!! Disney Playhouse Live with Jenn and Kayleigh in Everett this weekend. date night with my husband. We have been so good doing this for the last month. Nothing fancy..just driving to town to do a return but we are together. I love that man!

What's happening this week....

Lots!! One birthday at the Jump Zone and one a Chuckee Cheese..all in the same day!
the painting of 2 more rooms. A baby shower...Busy busy week. Maybe I will mop my floors ,clean a bathroom ,do 30 loads of laundry...maybe!?! ..no I will have do those things...I wish I could put that under the ' what I am looking forward to list'

What a JEWEL...

My dear friend Julie has a heart that has no boundaries. She is truly an amazing woman. She is full of God Beauty and grace. Forgives easily and loves when she feels like she can't. She recognizes her friends heart and carries the burden of others. She is a wonderful mom to 3 girls and a wonderful and patient wife. She cooks for others in need and often dropping off random goodies. She can fill your spirit as well as your tummy. She thinks of others more then herself and knows her treasures await her in heaven. She is kind. She is truly a wonderful listener. She will not judge you. She is always first to offer her time to anyone.

Julie knew that when It comes to painting I can't seem to pull it off...it starts with finding the right color and then it starts with me NOT, I repeat NOT being a detailed oriented person. Painting is not only a fear of mine but a huge burden.

I have wanted a red "something' wall for over 7 years....she took it upon herself to give up HER TIME to come over and help a friend in need. It was not necessarily a 'need" but a desire. She knew me all to well that I would not have asked for help. She showed up and took care of me as she always does.

Once again...I can't thank you enough. I will pay it forward.

I love you Julie....You are one of a kind and my life is better because I know you.

Not me Monday's

This is my Miss America...where has time gone!!



Here it is Monday already!!

last week I had not one appointment on the book, now this week I have 6 appointments and next week 9 through out hte week! not to mention Carters 1st birthday and a trip to Disney Playhouse Live!

So what did I NOT do this last week....

I certainly did not let Carter play in the toilet as I was scrubbing the tub and the shower. I did not let Miss America have peanut butter and jelly sandwich for dinner at least 3 nights last week along with her fruits and vegi's...

I did NOT let Miss America have her way to many times this week...to the point I did NOT create a little monster.

I did NOT look back when getting out of the van and see Miss America was not buckled and I did NOT hear ' good thing the cops not get me cuz I not buckled up mom"

what a week...Nothing is ever the same with children!! Happy Monday!!

Princess Super Hero..

Here she is MISS AMERICA....









If you have ever read the Olivia books you will know that that book was written for her. She is always changing her clothes. Trying to find the right outfit. She found an American flag that was given out at our local lighted parade and she put it on her neck as a cape and called herself Miss America. Then she proceeded to call her friend Kayleigh to ask her if she was excited fro preschool and if her grandma could drive her over to play.

oh, my Olivia..my days are so much brighter since you joined our family.

This always makes me chuckle..

When you put your picture card in the computer to download your pictures and realize that your camera has been hijacked by a teenager trying to find the right picture for a certain social networking sight or some random picture of nothing.
