First baby

Christmas was great. Isabella ended up with two baby dolls, three pretend strollers, a small purse, some jewelry, a watch, and a potty chair.

The clean up of the last round of snow. These where take at Harrison medical center Silverdale campus.

Round three Ding ding ding

It snowed again about 6 inches. I love the snow, but now its affecting the school days. My kids are suppose to go back to school. Still waiting what the school website is going to say. Its beautiful out and lucky I don't have to go anywhere. If I can I will take a couple of pic before the rain is suppose to hit. Which will make a even bigger mess for the commuters.

I talked to my brother last night and he was not happy about the snow. He is a ups driver and hates working in it. My husband has some friends that are sheriffs and Kevin made a comment on his facebook about watching all the lovely snow and one replied back and you crazy. So for all you that have do work out in the snow, I feel for you. I love it, but it makes life a lot harder. Hmmmm I wonder if my garbage will get picked up...

aaaah the great northwest. Its week two of our winter wonderland and its slowly melting, then freezes, then melts, now its rain and snow mixed. I loved the snow when it was powder, driving was great. Now that is melting, its becoming difficult to get out of our neighborhood. I just slid the truck out to the main streets. I have to use 4wd just to get out of our circle. I am done with the snow. Their is piles and piles of it all over the place. I am ready for summer.

Last night my six year old Leasel found the hard way, the his sister Bella does not like to share seats. She bite him!! Oh boy do I have a long road ahead. The indention were a lot worse then this

Good Morning Snow

This is my morning 5 inches of snow.
Its still coming down.
The branches are sagging on the trees.
Its absolutely lovely!!!

I feel LIke an Idiot

I sent an email last week letting my supervisors know that if weather gets bad, that I am right up the hill. I live a mile away from the silverdale hospital. Well we got all that snow that the weatherman said we were going to get.
by 9pm no phone calls. I thought wow everyone made it into work. I kinda was hoping

You see we had plans an Saturday night with friends to get our families together and have dinner and watch a movie. Those plans failed due to my friends husband having to drive people to work or to home from both hospital campuses.

My husband found out they are short drivers and volunteered our suburban and him to help out in the morning Which is fine. He love driving in the snow.

About 1030 I get a phone call they need me to work in Bremerton. Okay so its not done the hill, its across town. Money is money. Except I had two glasses of wine and could not drive. I would of never of had any in the first place if I was going to get a call 1 and half hours before the shift started. The shift went till 8am. bit of a snag their since Kevin had to be at the hospital by 7am Only one vehicle with 4wd. Plus their is the kids.

So I did not think thus one through. I feel so stupid for having that wine. On top of all of that, My superviser calls me to find out why I can't cover the shift. I told her why. Told her I wasn't think was just kicking back watching a movie and it sounded good at that moment.

So here I sit at 4 am in the morning, can't sleep due to my stupidity. I just hope no one hates me for it. I hate confrontation. I avoid it like the plague. I like everyone to like me. I will actually bend over backwards to help people out, but tonight I screwed up.

Well... at least I feel like I did!

Breaking Dawn

This is the fourth book. If you have not gotten this far in the series DO NOT READ THIS it gives out details on the 4th book, but I have to talk about this book. Okay so Edward and Bella are married and are are on their honeymoon.

We all know as couples what to expect on honeymoons. Well for Edward and Bella I did not think it was going to happen. It did. Their was no details of their lovemaking, but their was details of the aftermath. I kinda giggled at what was said. Bella woke up to goose down feathers everywhere. Well she took it as Edward destroying them or biting them instead of her. She also had bruises all over her which she does not remember. Having sex with a vampire was not going to be a easy thing. To Edward that was the end until her transformation.Well being a female and he being male (vampire or not) she got her way, this time he destroyed a bed and no bruise on her.

The description of the scene after she wakes up and realizes she is in trouble for getting her way. but also realizing, he destroyed the bed. I lost it I busted up laughing. He is laying their with his hands behind his head and she looks up at him with that uh oh look. Then He mentions the bed She looks and all she can think of is see all we need is practice. He is scrared of killing her and she just thinks they need pratice. Here is to Stephenie Meyer. I have never cryed, laughed and been so angry so much until I read your books. Can't wait for your next set of books!!

Snow Snow and Yes more Snow

I woke up this afternoon to my husband telling me its starting to snow. I am so excited. It never seems like Christmas until it snows. I came into work tonight singing, "let it snow let it snow let it snow".Our hospital campus is covered in white. Its very lovely outside. Our security guards are pulling out there de-icing stuff. I am tyring to hold them off as long as possible. I told them there is not enough out there to even start. So for now there are waiting. I was hoping we would get enough that I would actually had to use my 4wd. Ya right!! I live in western Washington, not eastern Washington. The few people that have come in tonight to stay with the their wives, (I work in Labor and Delivery) say that the roads are freezing and people were sliding into ditches. They said Bremerton was a mess. Its a wonderful 32 degrees and snowing.

Moonlight and Eclipse

I had two days off and In between cleaning, helping kids with home work, playing with the baby. I read like a mad women. I have not read like this since I was a teenager. The Twilight series has me hooked. I Just finished up the third book. I loved all of them. I do have to admit I had to think like a teenage girl again. In parts of the book I wanted to just scream at Bella for being so overprotective and a worry-wort. Then I got to thinking how I was with my boyfriend when I was her age. The romance in story is what I loved. The innocence. I can't wait to see what the fourth one is about. My son says it is from other views. We will see.

Christmas concert

I sat though my son's annual Christmas concert. Last time I went it sounded like a bunch of cats being strangled and that was only two groups. This year they had all four groups- 5th grade band and orchestra and 6th grade band and orchestra. 5th grade is always a little rough. 6th grade sounded good.

Instead of the sound of cats being strangled I had this child that was climbing all over bench seats. up and down, back and forth, stomping up and down the stairs. I knew who he is and I noticed his parents sitting in the front not paying any attention to what their son was doing. But the kid was annoying everyone else. I watched him bump into two people. Squeeze in between people. I couldn't say anything to him. I was sitting to far away. I would have throttled my kids if they had behaved this way. Then he finally disappeared. I am thinking he decided to wonder the hall of the Jr high. The sad part is this child lives behind me too. Their are times I wonder why people have children if they are going to treat them like a novelty. That is another story I will save for later.
Anyways My son plays the drums. He is loving it. I hope he sticks with it. We have gone through drums, clarinet, violin. I am very proud with all my children. Well we will see how the next concert goes.

I am addicted

I started reading Twilight. I got up from my sleep not feeling well. I think my 6yr old may have given me his bug. Feel okay now. Anyways I took advantage of laying on the couch and read. I could not put the book down. My oldest son Kevin came downstairs about 10pm last night and was shocked that I was half way done with the book. I told him it is really good. He wants me to bring it home before he goes to school, so he can take it to school. I got his interest peaked. I am already preparing to go by the second book.

Its one of those trilogies you just don't want to end. I hope this writer Stephanie Meyer continues to write more of these. I know they were made for young adults, but It is a great fantasy.

I have not seen the movie and I heard the movie is a complete chick flick. Me being a chick I do not have a problem with that. My guy friends seem to be disappointed in it. Well duh!! If it is a chick flick, it is going to be more appealing to women. I love a good romantic movie. I am a romantic at heart.

Front of the class

I watched a movie tonight that gave me hope. The movie is about a young man who goes to school and becomes a teacher. The difference between him and other students is he has Tourette syndrome. He applied for many teaching jobs. He eventually gets one. The kids love him and he even helps one little boy to think differently about reading.

This movie gives me hope because I have a son who is considered mentally retarded. To look at him and talk to him you would never know it. He has a very hard time with writing. He is doing better in math and reading. His social skills are normal for his age and his physical skills are normal. He is nine years old, will be ten in February. He does not have much in the way of common sense. He struggles at the day to day tasks. He has to be reminded to change his clothes in the morning. (he likes to sleep in his clothes). He becomes easily frustrated when he can't get something right, like folding a shirt.

He told our dentist that he wanted to be a PE teacher when he grew up. My husband was thrilled that is what he wanted to do. After Watching the movie I realized that deep down my son would be able to continue his education and with hard work, Dakota can achieve his goal. If he wants to be a teacher, then I will help along the way. My sweet child

My favorite time of the year

I finally got to my Christmas decorating. Not all of it is up, but it looks good. My living room looks so cozy. I love this time of the year. All the color and pretty deco. Kevin got into it this year. Had a few suggestions or ideas and they looked good. I am hoping to get the tree completely done tomorrow.
My daughter Isabella has been nothing but smiles. Everything I bring out she investigates. Her eyes became very huge tonight, every time I plugged in another set of lights. I was so excited to bring out my musical rocking horse my Great Aunt got me when I was a teenager. I knew Isabella would love it and she did. She goes over, sits down and rocks it back and forth. I sang Christmas carols to her today. She learned another word LIGHT. She is picking up words way to fast.
I am so looking forward to Christmas. We have decided to do a family gift. We discussed it with our boys and told them they have two options. Individual gifts or one big gift. We told them the one big gift could be the Wii plus a few extra items. They like the family gift.
Even Kevin, who doesn't get into the games is asking around about what others like about the wii. Most his co-workers tell him the best part is when the kids go to bed and you can play. I want rock band and wii fit, both are basically sold out. Maybe after the holidays.

I am going to attempt to cook some holiday treats. I want to put together my bon bon I use to make. We will see if I have time.
goodnight to all and all a goodnight!!
