I shall buy BOOTS

So the other night, it had snowed about 2 feet...a friend had shoveled us out cuz he had a half day and aj and i weren't feeling too well that day. I really wanted to go to the chiropractor because I had missed a day or two...I had to back aj's truck out of the driveway, pull my car out and then pull his truck back in...simple right? Not if you fall on your ass. My car was parked at the curb while I walked back over to get into Aj's truck in front of the neighbors. I hit ice I guess. One second I was walking and the next I was flat on my back. I hit the back of my head pretty hard, but I had my hood pulled over my head (for once) so there was a millimeter of cushion on my melon. Ouch. I was like whoa. My feet were up on the embankment where the plow had been by and I was splat in front of Aj's truck, his lights were on, so anyone who happened to have been looking(hopefully no one) would have seen quite a fall. I would have laughed had it not hurt so bad. I got up...moved his truck in...Aj's at the door saying 'are you ok' at the exact time I'm saying 'did you see me fall'...ouchie mama. I made it to the chiropractor about 5 mins late, they stayed for me though cuz I told them I fell. Anywho, that night I was fine, slight head ache but no biggie. Well now it's been 3 days and I'm sooooo sore. Every muscle must have tensed up when I fell. My right hip and back(of course my back why not...anywho) feel bruised but I don't see a bruise. My shoulders and neck are achy. The backs of my arms feel like I did some massive tricep dips WHICH I DID NOT.
My point is, number one, I'm so glad I wasn't carrying Maggie. Phew.
Number 2, if a kid falls, he gets back up and goes about his business. I apparently am not a kid anymore. I feel like I was hit by a truck, which I haven't ever been hit by a truck, and I'm sure it's a slight exaggeration, but I am SORE.

Only other time I remember falling on ice was when I was pregnant with Maggie...oh I was so scared I'd have hurt her by falling, I just starting bawling. I was fine, I didn't hurt and obviously she was fine...obviously.

Moral of the story really is... I need snow boots! So with my valentine money I got from my Dad, I shall buy boots.

Maggie's wheews a spinnin

Maggie is just all around now such a big girl.
She is eating way better in my opinion, which is the only opinion that matters thank you. I just have to become better at what we eat...anyways another story there.
She is trying to help 'clean up' her toys with me. She'll go get what I ask for and put it where I point, not ALL the time but it's a process.
She is going to bed with a baby now too...not sure how that started. Just one day for nap she went and got 'beebee' out of her baskets of stuffed animals and now it's with her in her crib. Tonight, I forgot I took it out and she was looking for it and said 'beebee' and started to panic...no no no it's alright she's right here...road block to meltdown, thanks Mama. She lays 'beebee' down on her face like how Maggie sleeps:) LOL, now that is stinkin cute, i don't care who you are.
Maggie is saying just about everything I swear, she'll mimick just about anything I do and recognizes things too that I've never actually so called taught her...like on her laptop she got as a xmas present, she pointed to the apple and said apple. huh.
In her 1st words book yesterday, she was saying what the pictures were, some she needed help with but she did pretty good herself. She'd point at the picture and say
'sock' 'shoe' 'pain'(plane) 'choochoo'(train...oops that's my fault cuz that's what I'd call it when i'd read to her)'ball' 'poddy'(potty chair) 'gull'(girl) 'coat' 'wheew'(wheels)....
It was soooo fun to watch her wheews spin. I love that part:)

weekend plans for adults

i just blogged a LONG blog for me about my weekend adult plans and there was an Error.

WhATEVER

blah blah blah

long story short, I have adult plans two night in a row and I already miss my baby girl.

if Will's turning 5 already...

Time is flying by. Wow, just yesterday he was born it seems. I met Aj when Will was 6 months old...wow now he's turning 5, this can't be right. I remember the talks Jenna and I had about moving and going to school like it would be 5 years away and it's already here. Wow. I keep saying wow because I know Maggie turning 5 will be right around the next corner if I blink long enough. ugh.
I'm feeling for Jenna right now bigga time. Her baby will be starting school. Bittersweet.
He will LOVE school I'm sure, so I think that'll make it easier for her, but after spending all your time with the love of your life all wrapped up in smokin' pajamas, it'll be a shock to the system. A whole new chapter will be starting, possibly not even a new chapter, might be like a whole different book. T-ball this summer, school starting, field trips, oh ugh girlfriends, boy sleep overs, graduations, driver's permits, driver's license, dating, sports....getting caught sneaking out to come to Aunt Kenj's house cuz he's in trouble...ha ha ha...but anywho, if this is all happening at the speed of light, I'm going to stunt Maggie's growth somehow. I'm gonna google it, ha. What would I search for? Ways to keep your kid under 5 years old? aaaaagghhhhh

I'm a Believer

I'm trying really hard to read the Bible every day. Which, I have never done. I don't know verses by heart, I don't know what scriptures are from what books, I don't know ALOT...but I do know God is Good!
It seems to help set my mind up for conquering the day. It seems to help me be more positive and thankful. Really puts things into perspective. Hello, I'm by no means perfect, but that last 3 days when I've had something weighing on my mind, I open the back to the index and try to find a general topic on what's bugging me...I look up the few scriptures it leads me to and I feel better. I don't know if I'm just hungry for learning more or if GOD is leading me, but either way it's good.
I'm tired of complaining about things that are not even big things to complain about. I'm tired of worrying about stuff I cannot control...I want to focus on joy, being thankful, and not letting other people's negative thoughts and actions get the best of me. I'm really starting to think I need HIM more than I ever thought, in everything I do. I never thought about it like this before. I want HIM to be a friend I confide in EVERY day. I want to find happiness in the mundane things because I know HE is with me. I want to tell him, even if he already knows, how much I need HIM and love HIM. Before it seemed like I prayed when I'd think I NEEDED something. I'd pray if i was ASKING for something. I think I need more 'practice' at praying but I'm asking him to help guide me...I now know I can pray because I'm thankful. I can pray because I just want to talk to him. I'm trying to say at least ONE prayer EVERY day...seems though, most days, when there's ONE...at least a FEW more follow eventually!
I used to get embarrassed if people asked me anything about God or my beliefs, now well, I don't want to sound mean, but I don't care if you ask, I'm proud of it. I don't know everything but I know I'm a believer. What is better than that? :) I don't want to be quiet about it anymore...I wouldn't ever say Praise God in front of people even if I felt I should or it would make me or someone else umcomfortable...but I'm going to try to come out of my comfort zone...baby steps...:)
