So I've really been struggling with making some resolutions for this coming year so I thought if I wrote some down for you all to see then maybe I would actually take them seriously! I'm basically just talking to myself out loud here so don't feel like you need to continue reading.......this really is just to get my lazy self in gear. Ok so here I go. This years theme-
~Two Thousand One Two~
It's all about boo.........(Hmm, maybe I should try to think of something a little less self-centered.......? Ooh maybe that should be a goal!!!)
-Always have a project I am working on with my music......always always ALWAYS!
-Complete the Book of Mormon challenge our Bishop has asked us to do.
-Work out 2 days a week (I'm going super easy on this one because I really want to actually accomplish it)
-Learn to make my own earrings. I love them so why not make them???
-Learn how to play the guitar. I've always wanted to be able to. Anyone want to teach me for free? ;)
-Try one new recipe a week for dinner (Oh and on that note I probably should make it a goal to actually make dinner......)
-Sell our Town-home and buy our dream home :)
-Take one ballet class a month to stay in touch with my long lost love.
-Give someone a compliment every single day.
-Pray and brush my teeth EVERY morning.........I'm embarrassed to say that for some reason it's hard for me to remember to do this consistently without fail. Please don't judge me too harshly, I do it most of the time!!!
Well there you have it. I figure that ten goals is plenty enough to keep me busy. If you run into me you should ask me how I'm doing on certain goals just to keep me on my toes ;) Wish me luck! I better go whip out some of those P90X DVDs or brush my teeth..............
This last week has been a long one. Sam and I have both been sick and it definitely took its toll on me. It is so hard to be a mom and be sick at the same time. Growing up I seriously can't remember my mom ever being sick.....EVER! Obviously this isn't true, she just was so tough and never stopped taking such great care of us. I really have a lot to learn and a long way to go!
So poor Sam woke us up early one morning and we honestly didn't know what we were hearing. It sounded like a seal/horn/dog barking. We took him in right away and they told us that he had an ear infection and the croup. One would think that he would act fussy or sad, but even at the doctor's office he was all smiles. I don't know where this kid gets his strength, but he is one tough little dude. (Actually I am 99.9 % positive he gets it from his dad) Time and time again he has ceased to amaze me.....even before he was even born! I wish I could be more like him :)
I on the other hand felt pretty sick for a few days and struggled to get anything done and then WHAM! It hit me hard and I was totally flat on my back. I don't know what I would do without Kevin. He is THE BEST at taking care of me. He took off work and stayed home and let me cry, whine, shiver, sweat, shake, cough, gag, sniff, moan.........the works. It was not a pretty sight. It's amazing how someone can love you through all that. Love you Kevbev ;)
Ok, so while I was out of commission I made a mental list of things that every person needs when they are sick (besides Kevin.....sorry but he is mine). Here you go-
1. First and foremost you need You've Got Mail-it is the best sick flick and I'm pretty sure that I watched it five times in the last few days.
2. All season's of The Office- this is for when you need a small break from You've Got Mail.
3. Grape juice- soothes the throat and your soul.
4. Afrin nasal spray- this has changed my life and I owe it all to the Davis fam. Thank you!
5. And last but not least you need a berry smoothie from shivers-so delicious and you can snack on it for days and it will taste as good as the first day you bought it.
Next time you feel poorly try a few, if not all of these methods and I promise it will help your time go by faster. There is one thing that is better then all of these things combined though........a mom or in my case, a Kevbev ;)
Oh and here is a sneak peak at our family pics we got done by my amazing friend Jen! I love them so much! Thank you Jen ;)
So fun :) Oh and for kicks and giggles here are some of the pictures we got when a random horse showed up during our photo shoot.........
No hands!!!
Hehehe :)
Everyone goes to the Doctor and let me say that going to the Doctor is an experience in itself, but I feel like everyone has had the same experience that I had today. So a long story short, I had kidney stones while I was pregnant so they told me to come in sometime before my next pregnancy- let me stop you right there and tell you that this is not an announcement by any means- and get an x ray to make sure there are no more stones and that I am in the clear and good to go. So today I went to get that done. They sent me downstairs to get the x ray and then I came back up and waited and waited and waited and yes, waited some more to see what the Doctor had to say.
Now I ended up waiting for an hour and sitting for a whole hour gives you quite a bit of time to look around and notice some things. The first thing I couldn't help but observe was the other people in the waiting room (yes I totally pretended to "read" a magazine while I was secretly spying on everyone around me). It seems to me that every time I am in a waiting room there are always these different types of people:
1) The sweet old couple sitting together- Check! And it actually turned out to be my old crossing guard from Rosecrest! He was so sweet. I think I made his day by thanking him for helping me cross the street :) hehe!
2) The "hot" girl who acts like she is too good to be there- I mean seriously! Obviously you aren't perfect because you need to see a Doctor......
3) The young couple making out- Ok, so they weren't making out but they were a little too snugly for comfort.
4) The creepy man that you keep making eye contact with- uggghhhh!
5) The man wearing a toupee- I couldn't help but wonder if that really was his real hair...??? Never figured it out.
6) The nervous girl popping her fingers and any other bone on her body that could possibly pop.
7) And finally the mom with the crying baby- This one is hard for me to watch. She is trying everything she can to quiet her baby but nothing works and there is nothing anyone can do to help her and take away her stress. Terrible!
So which one of these people do you think I am??? I'm sure that right away you immediately thought that I must be the "hot" girl but I'm sorry to say that you guessed wrong . I know, shocker right? ;) I got a baby sitter so I wasn't the stressed out mom this time. So that leaves....... the girl popping every bone on her body! Ding ding ding!!! I tend to get extremely nervous and start thinking the worst, especially when I have a whole HOUR to be alone with my head!
So they FINALLY called me back and as I'm walking I see half the nurses and Doctors standing around laughing together. There is no way that they could have been totally oblivious that there were a dozen people out there waiting to be seen. After I refused to give a urine sample (I didn't need to "go" and I was a little grumpy from all the waiting) the Doctor comes in and we talk for a whole whopping five minutes and then I'm ushered out and on my way home. Sheesh! This whole process drives me crazy. Is anyone else with me or am I the only one? Shouldn't the ratio of Doctor time vs. waiting time side heavily with the Doctor? Yes, I think it should. Oh well....I do have good news though! No stones to pulverize! Woot woot! What a relief! That news definitely made the whole morning worth it :) As I walked out the door my doctor yelled to me "now go and have a baby!" ...........slowly the grumpiness started trickling back..........lol.
