January 5 2016 Kids

Ok, so here is the thing about my life, I read about people and kids going to bed at a set time and enjoying that glass of wine before bed. HAHAHA, not my life. I read about people wanting world peace and a cure for cancer, and I am here just wishing my child would sleep through the night. He is three, not an infant and his favorite past time is sleeping from 4-6 ever day. This means up till midnight. He is like his father and I, to a certain extent, he likes his sleep. It's very hard to wake him up once he has fallen asleep. It is just as difficult to get him to go back to sleep once he wakes up.
I have tried so many times to have him on a schedule. My mother always told me, bath, book and bed. It worked great for my oldest. The baby, not so much. He likes baths at 2 in the after noon or midnight. I try to put him in the bath after dinner and he throws a fit. I have been reading to him much more often but it has to be first thing in the morning or he throws the books at me.  His idea of bed is to sleep on the couch.
No,  I am not looking for advice because every parent has their own style and each child is different. It would be great to be able to relax before I go to bed, not fall asleep in my child's bed most nights. I know things will get easier as he gets older and sooner than later he will be gone, but for now I am getting older and loosing brain cells on the lack of sleep I am getting.

January 4th 2016: Life

Today is January 4th and I will be working at my "real" JOB today. I am looking forward to the time away from the house and the craziness of my family. I spend the entire day there and an enjoyable evening with my loving husband. It was a crazy good day.

Why my husband is the sexiest man alive to me

January 3, 2016
Life as I know it:
My husband, Bill, is an average guy in the sense of the American standard of men. He is six feet tall, blue eyes and brown hair, in his early forties and has a receding hair line. He is also graying. So Jonny Deppe he is not. I am so grateful he is not a Jonny Deepe. He is not conceded but he is confidant.

So what makes him the sexiest man in the world you ask?
We could start with the piercing blue eyes. When he looks at me and he makes me feel like I am the only person in the entire world. Then there is the adorable backside that all the girls at work love to look at. These are great attributes to have as a man but they are barely the ice breaker to what makes him sexy in my eyes.

I wake up in the morning to a hot cup of coffee.
He does the dishes.
He loves me for me and treats me like gold.
He works hard and doesn't complain about it.
He loves his children with all of his heart.
He makes the day something worth smiling at.
He is always looking at the positive side of life.
He would bring me the moon if I asked, or die trying.
He loves his family unconditionally and still does for them when ever needed.
These are just a few reasons. I can go on and on but he is mine!

New Year, New Me! 2016

The title of my blog is life. I wanted to do a blog that was insightful and witty; that would inspire and educate. HAHAHAHAHAHA.. life had other plans.  So here is my new years resolution. Make time to blog about my crazy life. It's not a lot but it's my life.
Today is Jan 2, 2016 and so far I have cleaned up poop, had my coffee (best friend) and trolled facebook, worked on my home based business and made pies

I have always been a bit of a day dreamer and goal oriented. I have so much I want to accomplish, in the house, in my business, with my children and my husband. Right now my house is a mess and my kitchen sink is backed up. The smell of fresh pumpkin pie in the air is wonderful. This year I would like to paint the walls and redecorate my house. Some tile in the kitchen, laundry room and bathrooms. Maybe hardwood for the bedrooms, living room and dining room. I will post pictures as I proceed. I think that seeing the results as you go is always a good thing.

I have a three year old that likes to sit on my shoulders naked. He is potty training and refuses to use a diaper or the toilet. He will go poop outside with the dogs if aloud. He is an individual to say the least. I think I have always given my children the ability to expand their horizons within the limits of safety. I am praying for a nap so I can shower.

I can't wait until my son is to big to fit through the doggie door because atleast three times a day he takes off outside through the doggie door, not matter the weather. I did mention he is a nudist right? I have to chase him down and we live on half an acre of fenced property.
I am off to chase him down again.....
