Cookies, Cookies, and More Cookies!

Hello Everyone! What a wierd week this has been. Steven had the stomach flu really bad this week! I have no idea what brought it on at all! He seems to be doing better... he still has a little bit of a congested head, but he is no longer throwing up every 5 minutes. Hopefully he just keeps going up hill from now on! Steven did manage to go to my mom's this week and bake some christmas sugar cookies! He made alligators, wolves, circles, butterflies, and so much more! He had a blast! Let's just hope there are no germs in the cookies! :)
My aunt Penny went to the hospital this week. I was so scared she wasn't going to make it. She went in to a severe asthma attack. On top of things she had the flu, and her and my uncle were moving this week. My aunt Penny has had breast cancer twice, her right breast removed, she is close to emphysema, she has a bad heart, tumors on her Lymph Nodes and her whole system is shutting down on her. Don't get me wrong she has her good days, but they seem to be coming less and less. I have been so conflicted this week, that my head is spinning! I have a final to take, then I think I am going to go to bed for a week!

I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Crazy, Fantastical Life

Hello everyone! This has been a very crazy, stressful, fun week! It is coming down to the last few hours before it is time to hand in our papers and my mind is scrambling! I keep trying to take breaks in between, but then I stress that I need to get back to it! I think I am going to take a few deep breaths... take an hour break, and look at my paper with fresh eyes.
Over the weekend, we of course, got hit with a bunch of snow! So, we did all of our shopping early, just to make sure we could stay inside for a long time. Sunday Patrick, Steven and I made a gingerbread train! We had so much fun! Steven and Patrick kept eating the icing while we were decorating, so they ended up having green tongues. They definitly are really cute when they want to be! We almost ended up having a gumball fight, but we ended up with an icing war! It was so much fun! Very messy, but so much fun!
Steven seems to be catching a little bit of the stomach flu. He ended up not going to speech class, since he got sick and kept telling me his tummy hurt. This morning we pretty much stayed in our jammies, and watch cartoons. I am going to miss these kind of days when he gets older.
To finish off my blog for this week I am going to share a little bit of my dream. After the first of the year I am going to join the Army! My husband and I have been talking about it alot, and kept talking with the local army recruiter. I am a little over weight but I can pass the tests that I need to pass for now. I am so excited!!! My schedule is going to be a little hectic but it is totaly going to be worth it!

Well, I am just going to leave everyone with that thought. Have a great week!

Ready or Not

Hello everyone! I hope you are enjoying the wonderful snow storm we have been getting for the past three days! I absolutly LOVE the snow! I am a little weary on driving in it, but I still love it! Sunday we (Patrick, Steven, and I) went to see the new Harry Potter movie. It was amazing! I definitly did not like that ending, but I can't wait to see part two! On our way home we passed one flipped car, and one car in a ditch. They were within a mile of each other and on the same road. After we passed the second one, we hit a patch of black ice. We ended up doing a couple circles, but we never hit anyone, or went in a ditch. My husband and I were a great team. We both were so calm throughout the whole thing! If we would have lost our cool we would have hit two cars and went through an intersection. It was definitly an amazing experience.

We finally got out Christmas tree put up! It looks amazing. Steven helped me put the decorations on it. All he wanted to do was put the christmas balls on the very bottom or in the same spot. He was so cute. He kept pointing at the different colors of the lights, and saying, "What's this one?". Sometimes I would say the correct color but other times I would say, "I don't know, help me please.". He would then say, "Red, duh mom!". It was so funny!  I think this week were are going to make a gingerbread train! It is pretty much like a gingerbread house except it is a train.
Well, I am going to log off here for now. Have a great week!
