Attitude!

Ok, so we have been spring cleaning for about a month now. (had to take some time off when we were all sick) Last night Justin brought in about 6 huge boxes for me to go through. Alexis loves taking things out of boxes, so I got a lot of help in that area(ha!).  So needless to say, Our house was pretty much trashed last night.

Anyway, As I was in the kitchen cutting up fruit and vegetables to put in the dehydrator. I noticed things were a bit to quiet. So I looked over the counter and saw my little daughter stuffing her mouth full of GUM! Ahhhh! Once I started running over to her, she got anxious, turned away from me and quickly stuffed as many more pieces as she could before I could get to her. Luckily for me, the wrappers were still on the 7 pieces of gum she had in her mouth! Once I took the gum out of her mouth and the package away from her, the attitude came out. She started to cry… the silent type. You know that long pause when a child is really hurt, well, my child does it when she’s really mad. After the long drawn out, breathless, silent scream, the water works began. She started screaming and then threw her head down against the tile floor. I’m sure that hurt, but I was not about to console her with “oh poor baby.” This little attitude of hers is happing more and more when things don’t go her way. It’s actually pretty funny. Was going to get a picture of her to post, but like I said the house was so messy, I couldn’t find my camera.

(Update: The house looks great now!! Stayed up until 2am to finish it!)

Here are  5 Random Things about Me:

1) I have 27 different musical instruments!

2) I love lefties! I have always been attracted to lefties. Why? I have no idea. There is just something about it. I myself am technically right handed. However, I would categorize myself as ambidextrous. I do everything with my Left hand: pour coffee, hold babies (when I just have one) brush my teeth, draw blood, I even eat with my left hand sometimes. Here are a few famous people I’ve noticed that are left handed: Bruce Willis, Matt Dillion, Dennis Quaid, Drew Barrymore, Goldie Hawn, Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Dick Van Dyke, Robert Redford, Mark Wahlberg, Diane Keaton, Demi Moore. (oh and by the way, my hubby is a leftie! :)

3) I have always wanted, dreamed of and even planned on having boy and girl twins! When I was a kid I had twin dolls: Buddy & Lovey Noel (yes, I named them)

4) I just shed a 13inch long grey hair! I have a lot of them now.

5)To quote a line from the movie ‘What About Bob’ “Simplest way to put it…I have problems” I have so many weird and different certificates. None of which really go together. I can’t decide what to make of myself. I have a scuba certificate, phlebotomy certificate, small group guided reading certificate, special needs awareness cert., modification and adaptations in the classroom for children with special needs  cert., Organizing and Managing Small groups cert., Psychology for families with children with special needs cert., Understanding Special Needs & Learning disabilities cert., black and white photography cert., CNA certification, and a couple more that I can’t remember the names of.

Okay, there are my 5 random things… now I pass it on to 5 more.

Birthday Shopping

Today, I went out shopping for the kids. I was a little overwhelmed in the toy store. So many toys!!! Looking at what I ended up getting, I noticed most were the same things Justin and I played with as kids. The basic toys are still the best! I am getting ready for the big day. I have the gifts, decorations, and some of the food. The only thing I am not ready for… is them turning 1 year old. I am not ready for my babies to grow up.

Sneak Peak: The kids are getting about 10books each of the Mr. Men and Little Miss Books. I am so excited! I loved these when I was a kid

Mr. Birthday loves birthdays. His favorite part is the party. He thinks cards are nice, presents are good, but parties are great! Mr. Happy tells him not to forget about a party he knew nothing about!

Little Miss Birthday is part of the Little Miss series of books. Little Miss Birthday loves birthdays just like her brother, Mr. Birthday.

AZ Pain Centers

I have started some new treatments with  AZ Pain Centers – Home The last few years have been difficult. Recently I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. The doctors said I would be lucky if they could decrease my pain by 30%. However, AZ Pain Center believes, they expect ALL my pain will be resolved. I have started getting injections near my spine, to help promote my body to naturally heal. I have also gone off medications and started a natural approach with vitamins and herbal remedies. Along with those, I doing Yoga to try and strengthen my muscles and spine. Wish me luck… so far no difference, but I will let you know!
