Thursday!!

Would I be a bad person if I went back to bed already?  Kittrell was doing so good sleeping for a while but here lately he likes to wake up around 3 a.m. and talk.  So technically, I've been up for a while...

The Nutcracker tickets are finally on sale!! I called and got mine first thing this morning.  But it wasn't so easy seeing as how the Temple Theater doesn't accept credit/ debit cards.  What's up with that??  They have performances there all the time, so I don't get it.  Several months ago, Fantasia was there.  I did not attend that performance.   

It's 10:30 a.m and I already have stinky spit up/ throw up on both sleeves of my shirt and I'm too lazy to walk back to the bedroom and change.  But it's ok- I don't think anyone is planning on stopping by my house today. 

Kittrell hasn't even been rolling over for 24 hours yet, and it's already starting to work on my nerves.  Is that bad to say??  He does so good, rolling back and forth.  But sometimes he gets stuck on his belly and screams louder than you can imagine until I turn him back over.  Let's hope he figures it out soon before I run out of Tylenol!!

Here's some stuff from Pinterest I pinned earlier today....



(I love you, Daniel!!!)

Happy Thursday!!

He Rolled Over!!

Seriously, like 5 minutes ago.  He just looked so cute laying on the floor so I took his picture.  Then he rolled over.  So I got a before and after.  How lucky is that??  Yay!!



Finally!!!

After living in our home for 1 year and 26 days, we finally have base boards. 

Finally!!

So, last night, Ashlyn had another ballet practice.  When we got to the dance studio, I turned off the car, pulled out the keys and started to open the door.  Ashlyn quickly stopped me and said she'd rather walk in by herself.  I may or may not have shed a tear.  I thought she'd be a little older before she decided she didn't need me anymore.  So sad.

On another note, I read an article this morning that didn't make me horribly mad.  (Well, not too much.)

read it here

Laura Merrill's sister gets to tell her story about IVF.  Not to mention Laura Merrill's nieces are absolutely adorable.  Anyways, no matter how you feel about the subject (we all know how I feel due to my previous rants) I thought it was an article well worth reading.  Although it still bothers me when people say that the Catholic Bishop is opposed to the amendment, because he has clearly stated that he is NOT opposed, this article does give the actual reasons for him not supporting the initiative.  Others have said nothing more than he's totally opposed, and doesn't go in to detail about the real reasons behind his actions leaving others to think what they will... that's how rumors get started...  Finally, someone with common sense wrote an article and included some real facts and real quotes.  I love it!



After a Nap...

He's just so happy!!!

What Do I Do Now???

Ashlyn's pumpkin!  Daniel and I worked hard on it while she watched.  Go figure.

Kittrell finally caught something on his play mat.  Then he looked at me like, now what??

Too cute.

Seriously, Last One.

I've said it before and I'll say it again-  I do not talk politics outside of my house.  However,  I can't stand to get on Facebook anymore and see nothing but posts about "people being informed incorrectly."  Well, people- seriously, whoever told you that passing amendment 26 would outlaw birth control must have lied.  How would one even put birth control in  the same category as establishing legal "personhood."  Think about it, if you take away birth control, I bet there will be a lot more pregnancies......  NO ONE wants that.  Makes sense, right??  Please, stop your ranting until you want to say something that actually brings about a good point-  Oh and one more thing,  if this thing passes doctors will never let a mother just die.  That's just not right.  At all.  A doctor will always be obligated to save both the mother and child whatever the circumstances,  and if the doctor finds there is no hope for the unborn child, then the doctor will be able to terminate the pregnancy and save the mother.  That is morally the right thing to do.  Don't even get me started on whoever started the rumor that if a woman has a miscarriage she's gonna get prosecuted.  Really?  Did you actually believe this the first time you heard it?  Did you know there was a huge difference in purposely terminating a pregnancy and accidentally losing a child for reasons that are out of your control?  I COMPLETELY understand the concerns about IVF.  It won't be outlawed, however, it won't allow unused embryos to be destroyed.  Plain and simple.     

READ THIS! 

I swear this is the last time I will talk about this.

 And you can go ahead and start talking about me and everything I just said. 

I'm officially not getting on Facebook until after Nov. 8.  Unless I feel there is an adorable picture of the kids that needs to be posted.  I just can't deal with people who are "completely misinformed" telling others that they are "completely misinformed".  This is why you should NOT talk politics.  Unless your at home with an amazing husband who will listen to you rant.   

Also, since this is my blog and I can say whatever I want without anyone getting mad (seriously- if you don't like what you hear, stop reading) I will say this.  Do I think amendment 26 will pass?  Actually, I don't think it will. 

There, I said it. 

Study Up

Just a little something extra to think about.

Nov. 8 will be here before you know it!!

This letter is by no means saying anyone should vote NO.  The Bishop is simply saying that they know this is a touchy subject for all, therefor we should make our own decisions.  Usually, the Bishop would endorse one way or another, but he doesn't want to influence the vote this time. However- you should do some researching, study up on it, and vote what you feel is right.  (Try not to get a headache from reading too much like I did.)
