So Today...

So today we went out in to the blustery snow to our first Christmas Party of the season in Stark for my Mom's side of the family gathering. I R-E-A-L-L-Y did not want to go out today. I NEEDED to get out, but I did not want to go out in this weather! When I first woke up I was in such a great mood. When the snow falls so softly and beautifully like it was, it usally does that to me! I don't know why! I think I just grew up with so many great memories of building snow forts and shoveling, skiing, winter walks, football in knee deep snow...whatever the reason, it makes me happy.

And then I thought, but I don't want to go out in it today with the kids! To make a long story short. We went. I was crabby. And then I snapped out of it. There.

I still feel unsettled about something, I'm not sure what. To snap myself out of it earlier today, ok, (don't tell anyone), but I went on to youtube and watched some hip hop videos of songs I haven't listened to in a while since I have been on such a christian music kick. I watched Gold digger by Kanye West, Justin Timerlake's Sexy Back, Justin Timberlake/Nelly Furtado/Timbaland's Give it to me, and then, to clear my head I watched Barlow Girl's I'm Never Alone and Rascall Flatt's Broken Road.
Oh, and I danced to the first three with the office door shut. Don't worry, the 3 kids were sleeping and Tom was off plowing, so I was safe. Oh yeah, don't tell anyone!

I feel though that since I've been on my kick again about only thinking positively, that I have a harder time following through. The first few days of it always go well, and then, I hit a rut. I feel like I have to give myself more "timeouts" and time to refocus than usual. But, you gotta do what you gotta do, and if that means locking myself in the office to listen to some good beats, well.....

There are two kinds of people: Part Two - The non-movers

Coffee cup in one hand, veggie/fruit smoothie in the other. No seriously, that's what I have on each side of me as I write. I'm smiling because of how funny this is, as it seems to also relate to this conundrum of a topic before us. There are two kinds of people, and there are definitely two kinds of beverages.  My caffeinated beverage on my left brings me a one sided joy that I cannot even begin to detail. I love my coffee. And I really do think it loves me back. At least for a while. As I peer out of the corner of my eye to the right, I see the greenish grainy drink to my right. Today the fennel seeds in it do not make it seem as dirty  I mean, like I just gathered them from the dirt without rinsing and sprinkled them in there kind of dirty. Maybe it was the splash of OJ I decided to add to it this morning. Now, I know that this drink loves me. It is good for many aspects of my life. Health, energy, sustenance, power. But I do not enjoy it as much. When I make my ...

Round two!

I got to come home for a little bit and play with Brady and Halle, give them a bath (me a shower) and then laid them down for a nap. I took some ibuprofen, I think I have an overdose of a "caffeine, lack of sleep, still wearing my contacts" headache! So now I am going to try and nap a little and then it's back to the hospital with Shelby for round two of SLUMBER PARTY AT THE HOSPITAL WITH A SICK BABY! Not worthy of all caps joy, but I'm trying to be optimistic about it all! So we had a rough night last night, she didn't sleep for a full hour from 9-1am, then she had a bit of an issue with her nebulizer treatment (meaning she didn't like it) and then her IV came out. Yadda yadda. Finally at 3 am she was ready to settle down and then she slept till 7am. On my chest. Luckily I was tired enough to get most of that sleep as well, until about 6:30ish. I just feel so bad for her! I felt bad for me a little too about 1:00 am. I wanted to just cry my eyes out from bein...

Who did we welcome home TODAY????

Shelby Capri Bergman 6 lbs. 5 oz. , 19.5 inches long May 30th, 2008 10:52 pm I just want you all to know that everything went picture perfect. She's beautiful, she's healthy and she's very content. I don't have a ton of pictures yet, my mom took pictures during delivery and I took some today when we got home, but since we don't have internet at home now, it will be slow coming! I had my membranes stripped at 9:45 am on Friday. Afterwards, Tom and I went to Walmart, Applebees's, my sister's classroom to help move some stuff (I supervised... I was a little sore), and then home. I took a nap and Tom started getting ready for supper. His 4 hour long, grilled ribs...and that is how the story begins! So we keep joking that I am going to go during his first trial run with the ribs. This starts at around 3:30 pm. Then, we run out of propane and start all over a...
