Mother's Day



If there's one thing I treasure most in his life, it's being a mom to the fabulous four!  I woke up to love and gifts including a NEW ROOMBA for upstairs (since Jeff knows how much I love the one downstairs).  Now our upstairs and downstairs are cleaned everyday (with ease)! The new one even has a schedule setter so I just start it and let it go!  AWESOME!
From there we went to church where (like every year) I shed a few tears remembering the two that I wish were with me but I know that had they been, my life would look so differently. And I am so blessed with all I have.  Dan, Steph and kids came up to church too which was nice.
They had a Mother's Day brunch with Steph's family so we sped over to Great-Nan's for a super fast visit and picture session.  I know it meant a lot to my mom to get a picture with all her grands. I'm so lucky to have so many amazing mothers in my life (of course my mother-in-law too).
From Great-Nan's (since we're so close) we walked home and hung out a bit before heading to the lake for some food. It was a lazy day (my favorite) and of course I got the most beautiful flowers.  Hard to believe some call these beauties weeds!  It's all in the eye of the beholder- proof you shouldn't always listen to things people tell you.
Nana doesn't usually give ME presents for Mother's Day but she found this for me and isn't it just perfect for my two who flew away!?!  I have it now in my yard next to my bird feeder where I watch the birds.  It's such a treasure to me! Of course I also thought about my other baby (my furry one) and got lots of cuddles with Mar-mar too! I love his smile!

So tired...

Image
It's getting to me... I don't know if it's the sleep deprivation or the crazy schedule of being a full time working mom and having four kids at home... but it's getting to me. I am so tired. Last night I was up at midnight with Sean, then at 2:30 with Joe who was sick and threw up, I got back to bed at 3 and slept for 15 minutes until Sean woke up again. I let him cry for 45 MINUTES until I could take it no more, staggered into his room and nursed him. And then I was up before six to start my day which looks something like this.. Wake up, shower, get ready for work prior to kids waking up... (praying that they don't wake up) then waking the bigs who can dress themselves, and getting Zach changed and dressed, then downstairs to make breakfast for three bigs while putting together pump parts to take to school (that were drying over-night), clean up from breakfast, meds for Zach which now include a breathing treatment (from last Tuesday's doc apt), shoes on a...

Saying Goodbye...

Well, we knew this day would come.  Prayed that it would be clear and it was. On Sunday night I laid with Cobi as I have (more so in recent weeks).  He asked to go outside at one point and he was out longer than usual.  I called for him to come inside and he didn't come. I had been cleaning the kitchen and I thought perhaps I had let him inside.  My brain isn't the best. I ran upstairs and to all his favorite places, but he was nowhere to be found.  I grabbed my shoes, wrapped my arms around me and went out to the cold calling for my baby, in a panic.  He came to me slowly from out in the darkness and when we got inside I sat with him, wrapped my arms around him and cried. As promised.  He had told me.  This was it. Somehow I went to school and made the call.  The last appointment of the day was at 5:20pm and since Joey wasn't getting home until 6:00, I took it as a consult and then also booked the first appointment for t...

It's the Honest Scrap!

Image
So some of you know that I have two blogs. This blog- which has reflected on my day to day adventures with my living children, things I love and the occasional "Pause" blog where I remember my angels. My other blog (That I refer to as my 'Pause' blog) has been an entire blog about my angels-a therapy to me in a sense- how they've changed me, restored me and helped me. I have met a huge community of mothers who have lost children and have been nominated by two of them for this Honest Scrap award (for my 'Pause' blog) The idea is similar to the last 'award' I wrote about, my new friends stated in their blogs that: The award is about bloggers who post from their heart, who write from the depths of their soul. In order to accept the award I must nominate seven fellow bloggers as recipients, and then list ten honest and interesting things about myself. So- although I was nominated on 'Pause'- I'm writing on 'Days' because I have sh...
