NYE FUN!



 The Dorans broke from their tradition of hosting NYE celebrations and went out with friends, and boy did we have fun. We made some cool new friendships in 2016. Here's the breakdown... in 2016 we started hanging out with our friends, the Cosmans. Jeff and Dave met while coaching Joe and Gabe, and Jojo and I became fast friends! (I should mention Kyle and Jodi, too, but they weren't with us for NYE.)
The Cosmans live in our neighborhood (or in one of the neighborhoods that links to ours). Ty and Ang also moved to our neighborhood and live REALLY close to the Cosmans. This summer/fall we had a lot of fun getting together to eat, drink and be merry!
The Cosmans also have friends (Eric and Kurt) who I became fast friends with! They came to many of the neighborhood gatherings and when they invited us to their place for NYE fun, we were in! We had fun eating, drinking and playing "Cards Against Humanity". Oh my gosh... fun game, but horrible! Tee hee hee...
 These girls are great and I'm so glad they're in my life. I had to wear my RTB hat because my Broncos have made me so proud!
 We didn't go alone... I should mention the kids came too! My four, Jojo and Dave's kiddos (Lilly and Gabe) and Kurt and Eric's daughter (Olivia), Ang and Ty's Carson and new friends all had a blast playing together. Everyone stayed up to see the ball drop and wish everyone a Happy New Year! I don't know why Seany wasn't in the kid pic. He had a blast and told me his favorite was singing "Karanoke" which I assume is a lot like karaoke. I am glad to see 2016 go but would be lying if I didn't say I'm a bit nervous for 2017. One thing I do know is we've got great people surrounding us so will make the best of everything! Happy New Year!

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...
