Hustle and Bustle

Oh my!! I haven't blogged in a couple of days. That is going to be a New Years resolution for me this year....Blog every day. It's just been a couple of busy days!! Baking, wrapping, and oh I think I broke my toe today!!! I had one last gift to get for the hubby today and it was a good day to go as the store was not so crowded. Two big batches of cheesy potatos await to take to my mommas....Karalyn is trying to pull her tights off ...... and my toe is still throbbing! I'm cutting this one short as I need to put my angels hair in a ponytail. Merry Christmas all!
Here's my sweetie last year :)

Time

There is never enough of it. Where does it go? I think about this often as I watch my baby girl growing older. She can count to 20 and I'm sure other children do more but I think that is fine for Karalyn. I'm a proud momma! My favorite moment is when she grabs my face and pulls it to hers and says "Mommy, I love you" in her darling sweet voice.

Pregnancy hormones: Stupid hormones. Today's scenario: It's below freezing, high winds, and blizzard like conditions. We need to go to the store to get some basic items to get through til Friday. Daddy thought it would be better for mommy to run in and get the items in question and mommy thought Daddy said "I'll circle the lot for a parking space". So off Mommy goes playing "SuperMarket Sweep", pays for the items, and goes outside in the FREEZING cold! Where is Daddy??? I thought he would of saw me and pulled up....No. I can't find him anywhere. It's a long stretch of shopping store so...stupid pregnant me decides to walk with full shopping cart in heeled boots to find Daddy. He not anywhere in the parking lot....HE's GONE!!! Crazy pregnany thoughts are now running in my brain. "He's left you and took Karalyn" "He doesn't want you anymore and left you to freeze your biscuits off" So here I thought my lovely hubby left me for good. Panic sets in! I am about to call the cops because I thought he ran off with my daughter! Daddy pulls up (oh and I did call his cell and it went to voice mail...that's when my panic got worse).....Mommy curses like crazy at Daddy. Mommy gets in the car and BREAKS down sobbing telling Daddy what she thought. Surprised me though...I thought he would laugh at me...but he didn't. He pulled over and hugged me and held my hand and said no matter how crazy I am he loves me and will never leave me. He said he'd at least take me home first so I wouldn't freeze to death. Thanks babe! So gotta love those hormones.

Oh and the kitchen floor was filthy after Daddy walked all through the kitchen with muddy boots on......

Catch up!

Wow am I just beat! I attempted to cook dinner, clean the kitchen and managed to get some laundry done. For some it's an easy task.....for me not so much. 4 months pregnant and a 2 yr old underfoot can slooooooow you down.

But I got it done!! And when Chris walked in the door after snowplowing....I said "you mess up this kitchen and I WILL HURT YOU"!

Did you know that sometimes Kitty litter can be thought of as sand?? Karalyn does....oh how fun is this mommy??!! I think sometimes she gets dirty because she loves to wash her hands with "soup and water". We have mastered "sitting your biscuits" in the corner. It used to be a screaming, throw yourself on the floor, hit the walls, and terrorize the cat routine. Now it's "Karalyn you need to sit in the corner for a couple of minutes and then we will talk" Off she goes to her corner. Some think it's cruel....tough crap. I gave birth to her and this works for us.

On another note Karalyn started daycare a couple of days a week. It was a bit rough at first...me more than her. Now, it's going really good! She loves going so much I will be considering a third day soon. Selfish I know....but I would like a few hours to get some things done. Especially with baby # 2 on the way.

Baby #2 is a blessing. Chris and I are both estatic to be parents again and for Karalyn to have a sibling. So far the pregnancy is going good except for the fact that they found I have a blood clotting gene. LOVELY! I'm glad I found out now so I can plan for the future. I want to be around for as long as I can. With that being said, this pregnancy is high risk but can be controlled through constant monitoring and the aid of a baby aspirin. I'm starting to feel his/her flutters....I just love that feeling.

I'm back

with an updated blog. It's not quite October yet...but I don't seem to post as much as I'd like so here it is :) When you have an almost 2 yr old it seems like your spare time is now nonexistence. Well now thanks to the DVR I got .... I can record some of Karalyn's favorite shows so I can get a few minutes here and there of some down time. Speaking of Karalyn...........my girl is smart and I'm not just saying that because I'm here momma. She pretty much has everything down...the only thing we are still working on is colors ..everything is "it's a gween one" Or "it's wed" But if you ask her to get the pink crayon or blue marker she gets it for you. I think my baby is going to be a singer she has a slew of songs she can sing :) Here's some new pictures for you :)

Frustrated

Why is it that other people have to tell you what to do or what not to do? I know I need to learn to take a stand but it's not worth it really. Mood tonight......angry and hurt.

Why do I clean the house when it's just going to get dirty in an hour? Solution....quit cleaning!!! You'd seriously think that I never clean my house if you were to walk in it. But I do.

Karalyn is crying....I should go get her.....the cats won't do it. Here comes some Mommy Magic.

Tiny Kitty!

I got an early anniversary pressie from my friend Deb!!! A sweet kitty!! Karalyn looooooooves her, but is not used to her being small so tends to get a bit rough but not on purpose. So we are working on "don't pick up the kitty". Still at a loss for a name for her. Right now she is Kitty lol Here's my new "baby"......and a poll of names that Karalyn can say pretty well. Any other suggestions??

Decorating

So I've been obsessed today with creating the "pretties" of my blog. Hoooooooooray for nap times!!! I've had two days off and I've only managed to clean the bathroom....SIGH! However I have managed to play with my scrapbooking again....it's a weakness that I have that usually doesn't get fulfilled because of "Hurricane Karalyn". I hear a stirring....here is a new picture of Karalyn!!

I'm here!

So I'm new to this blogging......real new. I never really had the time to sit and type what I was thinking or feeling.......well because 1) I'm lazy 2)There is always something else to do 3) Karalyn won't let me!!!!! Today I'm making myself do it. I had an eye opening experience today ... I truly have no friends left. So who can I talk to?? Sure I have Chris and my family......I just don't feel as if they really listen to me. Not like a girlfriend. That's why I decided to started blogging. At least if no one is listening to me (or reading)......I'll have my feelings out there and I'll start feeling a bit better about myself.

The blog is in progress for now as Karalyn has interrupted me with a kiss and now wants to type lol I love that girl!!
