I won my first Bloggy Contest

Whoo-hoo! I am so excited I won the contest over at BonyPonyRanch.blogspot.com. I won a bag and a Juicy Couture Dress. So exciting! Uh-Oh This could get addicting!

Oh and update my friend had her baby. Mason Rain was born on Tuesaday night and weighs 9lbs 8ozs. HOLY MOLY!!! The nurse told her that newborn diapers look like bikinis on him. HAHA!! So funny. Mom is doing great and I can't wait to finally meet the little man.

Okay kids are starving!

Family Visit

My cousin Melanie and her family came to visit us last weekend. They drove here from Ohio for a weekend! Thats 16 hours! They must really love us! I am so glad they came. We had such a good time. We went to Blue Spring State Park to see the Manatees. In the winter months manatees come there to the spring where the water is warmer. I'm talking a couple hundred of them. It is so neat to see.

Plus the park is so beautiful. The kids had a blast. Here is a pic of them looking for manatees...

The scenery was amazing.

Then the next day we went to Fort Christmas. Again another great fun place for the kids. Great scenery and here are more pics...

So I look a little uncomfortable in this pic because I was falling off. But the tree is amazing!



So that was our weekend. Totally a good time. And hubby I know you are reading this...I love you and appreciate you. Thank you for all you do for our family. XOXO!

Waiting on Baby

One of my best friends that I have known since I was 8 is in the hospital right now about to have her first baby. She lives in Ohio and I am still here in Florida so I am trying to get updates but its so hard not to be there. I wish her all the luck and happiness in the world. I am so excited that she will be a mommy today. I just hate waiting!!! So hopefully when I post again tonight I'll have some happy baby news!

Too Tired to Post

OMG- can it get any worse? Cameron and Zachary had very high fevers again today. Cameron 105 and Zachary 104. Off to Drs again. Zachary threw up before we left and again in the car on the way...Thats 2 carseats covered in vomit, yes 2, in 3 days. So Cameron had to get new stronger meds for his ear/throat infection. Zachary has RSV, great a virus all the moms out there know what that means...no meds for it just wait it out. So after being at the Drs for 4 hours with Zachary crying "I wanna go home" and "I want Daddy"...I am whooped and off to bed. Hopefully tomorrow will bring at least a little more healthier kids then today...if that makes sense.

Why does this always happen when I am a single mom?

I dropped off my hubby this morning at the airport only to be 5 minutes from home and Zachary threw up in his car seat. So disgusting. There's nothing like the feeling of driving while your child is puking his guts out in the back. What can you do? NOTHING! I had to keep going, thank God we were only 5 minutes from home. But this type of thing is so typical when my hubby is gone working. Someone is always sick or gets hurt. Ugh...so today will be an interesting one. I am going to attempt to put him to bed for a nap. Hopefully he doesn't cry because we all know what will happen...MORE PUKE! Wish me luck.

Paternity for sale???

Tonight I had to take Cameron to the Dr. because of course he was complaining of an ear ache...ugh will it ever end? So we are in the waiting room and Jim calls me and says Zachary just threw up, I mean seriously! So Cam and I get called in and sure enough Ear Infection. He has had like 20 of them so he can practically diagnose himself. We leave the Dr.s and head to Walgreens to pick up a prescription. Jim calls again and says Zachary threw up yet again. Who is doing this to us? What did we do so bad to deserve these poop and puke episodes? Anyways so while Cam and I are waiting for the script to be filled, you know they always tell you a half an hour even though its like a 5 minute job. Anyways so Cam and I are killing time walking aimlessly around the store just waiting. Then I come across the most bizarre product for sale. A freakin paternity test for 29.99. Is this for real? Do people really buy these things? I did not even know you could buy such a product over the counter. I just don't get it!
