So I have been thinking for months what to get Willie for his birthday, and idea after idea just seemed to fall thru. I contemplated a dog for a long time but was very worried that he didn't want another dog after Surri died, but I decided to bid on a dog on KSL and I didn't hear back from the guy, and I was surprised at myself how disappointed I was, so I decided that maybe it was a good time for our family to have a new dog. I looked at KSL every day for a boxer puppy, and found many but most were out of my price range..which pretty much was free. Then Friday I looked and found the perfect one! I called the guy he lived in St. George, and agreed to meet me half way in Richfield. Ya I know its two hours away, call me crazy but when I get it in my head that Im doing something I do it and nothing stops me not iven a two hour drive one way. We met the guy and had to choose from five different puppies, I immidiately knew which one I wanted, but let Sheryl play with the others for a while. I paid the guy and on our way home we went. I wanted to surprise Willie for his birthday so I told him we were just shopping. When we got home I left the puppy in the car and went in to see Willie I asked him if he wanted to see what we "bought while shopping" he said ya..so as im walking in he was like what did you get a dog? I was so mad! He always ruins my surprises! Oh well he was still happy and loves her..the challenge now is finding a name for her. I like Bella, but he says no..nothing yet.
I know everyone thought the day would never come that I would not have a pet of any kind, but the day has come! I gave away my last dog 5 days ago, and last night I posted my sugar glider on KSL and within half an hour it was sold! Im amazed. However I don't feel like this stage of my life will last long. Willie is itching for a new big dog and if we find one for a good deal we may just snatch it up! Crazy how life changes so fast!
Today we went to Kiddie Kandids and got Tyson's official First Pictures! He is such a cute boy and he did so well! It only took 15 min! They were amazed, I am constantly surprised at how good he is compared to other kids his age, there were so many just screaming and I felt lucky! He is such an angel! I love him so much!
I feel like I have turned around and my boy is almost 4 months! We were at Willie's mom's house on Sunday, and Tyson just started rolling over I couldn't believe it! He is such an angel! I love him so much! I am amazed at how fast he is growing! Every smile and laugh make all the frustrations of life just disappear. He is my little miracle and im am very very happy I have him to love and to hold!
These are for shell! She wanted me to post them for all to see our men showing off..if you could call it that haha!
This is for all you working moms, and single mothers. I now understand how hard it is! I am very stretched and feel as if I am living two separate lives..at work I am a professional, I am in a supervisor position, and am working towards becoming an official loan officer (to which I am very close). I feel knowledgeable, respected, and appreciated. I have people to clean up after I leave and I can delegate responsibilities as needed. I have many stresses, but overall I feel satisfaction of work that I complete. I have recently moved to a different branch temporarily, to which I feel like I can share the knowledge I have learned from my branch to benefit everyone. All in all I feel important and needed except for I find myself wishing I could be with my son.. My heart hurts to be with him, see him and hold him when im away from him.
Now when I get home I do one of two things, I either pick him up and just hold him why attempting to cook dinner, or let him sleep in his swing while I make dinner. At home I am a wife and a mom, I clean cook and take care of my husband and son, also a full time job. To which I don't feel appreciated, and is there is always something needing to be done. Sleeping is little to none even though I do have an amazing son, every time he moves or makes a noise im up checking on him making sure he is ok. Willie has been so tired lately that he falls into a deep sleep and accidentally hit me in the eye with his elbow so now on top of everything I have to cover my already swollen red eyes with makeup to hide the bruising..not that he meant to or anything it just hurts, he would never intentionally hurt me. When I wake up I feel exhausted, and have to just get up and go..life is very stressfull and tiring right now.
Like I said anyone that works with kids has my sincere appreciation.
Hats off to you!
Sorry all this isn't a very cheerful post, just had to get it off my chest..Im really loving being a mom I love seeing Tyson smile, I can't help but laugh! He brings more joy to my life than I could have ever imagined. I still don't know how I was so blessed! A Family is truly an amazing thing!
Love you all and your special families!
