Auction!!!!!!!

I stole this from Monica's journal. If you see anything you like please bid!! It is for a great cause! Also, bidding instructions are listed on the page!! Thank you, and good luck!

http://mommiesfundingresearch.blogspot.com

The auction was started last year in memory of Monica's son Sawyer, who died at 3 mos old as a result of SMA. July 07 Mommies did it on what would have been Sawyer's 1st birthday, as a way to remember, help other children who suffer from this terrible disease, and as a way to cheer her up. These women have helped her through the tough times like no one else has. Now this year they are expanding their hearts to include another July 07 Angel, Hannah who passed this past December as a result of MPS.

This auction will include a lot of fun baby/toddler/kid items, as well as fun stuff for Mommy too!

The proceeds go to further fund research for both of these diseases (which are NOT funded by the government BTW) to find treatments and possibly a cure!

Stuck In A Rut?

Another Friday is here and is soon to pass. I hope for an exciting weekend full of thrills and laughter. Ha! Probably wont happen. I feel as though I am stuck in a rut, and I cant move. I am happy, and enjoy my life, and family, but I cant help but think "what am I missing?". I feel like I am missing something. Everyday is a routine to me. Get up, get kids up, make breakfast, work for a few hours, make lunches, do laundry and household duties in between, continue working, shower, and many other tasks in between. I retire to my bedroom in the evening after the kids go to bed and eventually end up sitting with J in the living room watching some stupid show on the discovery channel. I mean, I am not unhappy, at all...just...missing something. Something exciting! I think maybe I should take a weekend and do a girls weekend. Or maybe just Mom and I head to Vegas or something. Gamble a little, see a strip show, just enjoy myself, ALONE. But that probably wont happen right now. J is a great father but I don't think he can handle the kids alone for to long. I don't really like to leave them for long. I know he wouldn't mind, and he doesn't when he watches them, but I can't help but feel guilty. Does that make sense?

This weekend one of his friends is coming up. I think, he hasn't confirmed yet but its more than likely he is. We'll probably BBQ, relax, and swim all weekend. It should be fun. We'll see.

Have a great weekend.

Welcome Back : HNT

I haven't participated in HNT in a LONG time. I have missed it very much. Despite criticism, bad mouthing, and judgement from people I have decided to participate again. It is something I enjoy and for me, it's not just about being "naked". As far as I know, I have never once been "naked". People who judge and assume are ignorant and no nothing about HNT. I challenge them to view other people who participate in this awesome thing that takes place all over blog world. It is not just me who does it, and yes some photos may be racy, and some MAY be "naked", but not all. It is very fun, and its interesting to see what people come up with each week. So, I am back you guys!

PS: Don't forget the click-thru!!

Happy Thursday

Just wanted to pop in and drop a quick hello. I hope this finds everyone happy and healthy. Things have been so hectic over in my household. Switching jobs, getting my son registered for school, finances, being sick... you name it, and we've been through it. I am happy to report that things have finally decided to calm down. I am thankful for that because its summer and I LOVE summer time! We've been spending our nights in the jacuzzi enjoying the crisp desert air, and relaxing in the warm, bubbling water. The kids will play on the side and we watch them while we relax in the peaceful desert night. The weather here has been very strange. We have had our typical desert days where the temperature reaches into the 100's but as of late it's been in the mid 70's and full of overcast. I guess that's why they call it "June Gloom". I find it ideal though, leaving the windows open to let the breeze in and the fresh smell of the air is very endearing. Tonight when J gets home we will all eat dinner put our suits on and go swim. It totally wipes the kids out and they sleep so well at night after a nice swim. After they fall asleep J and I will usually cuddle up on the couch watch a movie or some stupid Discovery show and just relax with one another. Things are good between us. Not as good as I want, but it takes time to work to that point. Especially with everything we have endured these last six or so months. The key point is we are working on it, and it is improving and we are happy. In our minds that is all that matters, right?

I've switched to a new job after being with my company for 2 years. I am very happy with the switch and look forward to the future with them. I will make good money and we will still live okay. I think it will be less stress and better for the kids. J is still working with his company and is doing very well. He was a top performer and is head in the company right now. That is excellent for him. We can say life is good for us right now and we are blessed. Very thankful.

More later,
