A new post...

Let's see...it's been raining for 3 entirely whole (:0) days now. And nights, let's not forget the nights. Oh the nights. And, I think it's been raining on the entire east coast of the USA now for those same three days and nights because everyone on my fb page keeps commenting on the rain. Some, (like me) LOVE the rain, and some LOATHE the rain. I've had a chance to catch up on some sleep because thank goodness, rain has the same effect on the kids, making them whiny and sleepy. I've had an excuse NOT to get out and hustle and bustle. At present, I am sitting at the table in our kitchen drinking (GASP) a pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks. Bless it's heart, I've had the grande going on an hour now. I'm trying to enjoy every last speck of it! We recently took the blinds down off the bay window in the kitchen. Just too dark for me. If I had things entirely my way, I'd tear down every blind one by one and chunk them in the attic for good. I just love being able to see outside so often--and notice daily the seasons changing. And, in our case...the rain!! :0)
I've been pretty poopie about blogging lately. I don't know why. I think it's because i don't feel like I've really had the time to sit down and reflect. And, when I do, I feel overwhelmed to blog about the kids. Well, because they make up such a large part of my daily life. But, really there's a lot of things that I'd like to blog about besides them sometimes. I mean, really it always seems to circle back to them but you know...I can try to have some adult chatter with myself :)  Like, how excited I am to watch Grey's Anatomy tonight? I mean, I love love love that show. It's exciting and I feel like I learn something everytime I watch it. I also tear up everytime I watch it! It won't be long before it will be windy and cold around here...gusty and everyone you know, including me will be knitting scarves for Christmas gifts and sipping on hot cocoa with REAL marshmellows. Oh, it's coming friends. Hang in there. And, enjoy the rest. And, if it isn't raining where you are today, it is in NC. Just pretend. Think of all the pretty umbrellas there are to be had!

Maybe

So, maybe I like singing. Maybe I like it more than anything else. Maybe I feel like music moves me and changes me and goes through me. Maybe I'm shy, scared, afraid. Maybe I don't have the money or the looks for pursuing music. Maybe my voice is the only instrument I know how to use. Maybe I'm stuck being a nurse.
Maybe I'm crazy.

blankety blank blank

SO, I think that there are so many things to blog about that I'm a little bit in overload at present. I can tell you that I've been horrible about updating the blog. Furthermore, we had a successful co-birthday party for the boys at Umstead Park on Thursday night. AND, Parker Jay is STILL climbing into our bed at 4am. UGh. My friend had her sweet baby boy ...who is absolutely ADORABLE ...I'm still on the search for a job haha, I'm in a constant search aren't I?! HAHA. NOT FUNNY. Parker got bit at school on the playground this past week. The kids will be each getting a pillowpet for Christmas...machine washable and ALL. AND, what else?
I dunno. Check back at a later date for birthday pics, more elaborate ranting, and weight loss success. Today I got nothing.
Baby love,
Kimmie

Fun

weight loss and baby bottles

Okay okay, first it was Suri Cruise. Sweet Suri. Carrying around a bottle at merely 3 years old. I'm not talking sippy cups here people, I'm talking full on NIPPLE. Now, Mark E Mark's kid? NOT OKAY. I mean, do these people look around? Do they talk to PEDIATRICIANS? How about a pediatric DENTIST for goodness sake?! I mean, if they need a personal nurse around to tell them important things about transitioning and taking away a bottle, I'd be glad to sign-up....and things like when to try to take away a pacifier? Then there's good ole Angelina and they're little GIRL Shiloh. I mean, what's worse? That the little girl WANTS to dress like a boy? Or, that Angelina doesn't want her little girl dressing like a girl? I mean, REALLY? Who buys the clothes here? Let's see...no little boys clothes here for ya, you can wear either your purple flower shirt, yellow shirt or pink shirt today, which will it be? Oh, and if you aren't up for those, how about that sundress that mommy's friend bought for you from Paris? I mean...REALLY people. Really. I can understand fashion and wardrobe being an issue at maybe 16...but NO WAY....I'm just flipping out a little.

AND...Drew Carey looks 30 years older after all the weight loss. I think I'll just stay fat. HAHA.

A pic from People magazine showing the weight loss I discussed in a previous post. A pic also from people magazine showing what appears to be about a 3 year old child of Mark Wahlberg with a straight up bottle....  We'll get into this later

Blog out of necessity...

So, let's see. I'm bored at work and don't really have anything to blog about but the weather. AND how ready I am for the FALL. Oh acorns, sweet acorns under my feet...where ARE you? And, indian corn? What about pumpkins>? Ugly ones, pretty ones, drop on your toe ones? Scarves? Mittens? Oh...I think I desperately need to go to Michael's this week and peek at all the fun fall things. Flowers, stickers, flags. Oh I'm ready for the crispness!

I'm all finished with the first nightstand yayy! Now-- I'm thinking of doing the other one a different color--maybe mustard yellow? I guess whatever color is $1 @ Lowes. I'm really happy with how this turned out and am excited to do more projects like this one :) the hubs is paying golf but I can't wait to see what he thinks!

MY nightstand BEFORE :)

And here it is back in it's home. Mine is on the right side-- can't wait to have them both finished :)
