The Girls are SPOILED!!!!

I’m sure you already know that. But I’m talking about a different way of being spoiled.

We have Dish Network with a TV recorder. You can Record shows at a certian time, if the Dish is on you can usually rewind 2 hours on the same channel. You can Fast Forward/Skip Forward and rewind at a variety of speeds. And you can PAUSE at any moment.

Sierra was doing a potty dance but before she went she fumbled for the remote control. I thought she was just going to rewind it as she has learned so well to do, but this time I asked her what she was doing She replied, “I have to PAUSE it beacuse I have to go potty”

It was dang cute our little 3 year old. Daddy’s Little girl. Well one of them at least.

We are doing MUCH MUCH better!!!

Now we just have a ton of housework and christmas shipping to do. So We are in Full swing again.

We went to Nathans company Christmas party for the kids. It was really COOL! we saw some amazing figure skating, balancing, trampoline act Sky Divers, a goofy juggler, Shana’s family, SANTA, got gifts, did crafts, shot rockets, Sierra got her face painted, had breakfast and lunch, It was a pretty good time. No car crash in a blizzard this year!!! =)

Put together some of my charity contributions.

Take care! Devanie

Happy Birthday Grandma!!!!!!

We hope it’s a good one.

Now I have been trying very hard lately to not complain. What do I have to complain about? I have a beautiful home, Beautiful girls fairly healthy (now) my husband is sooo supportive and washes the dishes, he’s just great. I get Girls/Moms noghts out quit a bit, my circle of friends is Awesome, we have great babysitting arrangements with all of them. My home is clean, safe and warm. I had my husband home for a week and a 1/2 straight, I got to shop a lot without the girls.

But for some reason I’m wearing thin, breaking down and just plain sick and tired.

So after a about 2 months of having a cough, and some other bad sickness issues I FINALLY went to the doctor-I hate spending the $15 and then the perscription costs($16 today). Now it’s No Wonder why I have been quiet, hidden, achey, and worn out. I have both Bronchitis and Pneumonia. I can’t believe I’m even posting right now. I feel horrible today I just want to cry. Standing makes me weak, cooking is a pain, I went to the gym 2days in a row and I think that fueled my chest again. When my Dr couldn’t tell if I had a bubbly chest she decided to have EXrays done. The exrays weren’t too bad but there were traces of Bronchitis turning into pneumonia. So I’m going to crash on the couch phone nearby. I just took my perscription drugs and let them kick in.

I LOVE MY LIFE!!! I don’t love my illness.
