WOW




Sorry about that gap in posts! I've just been so busy lately!
So let's try and catch up.
Keeping me busy is 30 hours a week at work, the normal house work, and my wonderful husband also bought me a Tattoo gun which has produced tons of requests for designs and plenty of people volunteering to be my sketch pad...now if I can just find time to practice....I'm super excited to get going with it but just haven't found the time yet.
My little brother Mike left for his mission not to long ago and is having a good time hanging out in England lol as if it's possible to have a bad time!? I'm really hoping he is forced to try all sorts of new foods! This boy turned down a plate well worth 30 bucks from a really nice restaurant to eat the Kraft Mac and cheese i had made for the kids!!! Who does that!? So seriously hoping that has changed when he comes home.
We finally had to put Chris on some "special vitamins". It's a non stimulant, we really wanted to avoid this but thanks to his always negative teacher we decided to give it a try. I'll let ya know how that goes. So far he's still the same kid, so that's good!
Josie turned 4 this week, I can't believe my baby is so big. Of course she still tries to be little at times and just wants to be coddled but she really is as independent as it gets. She got tons of Barbies and Barbie accessories for her birthday which Chris was kind enough to help her set it all up, adorable! We went to Chuck E Cheese, simply because that girl loves that mouse! When she saw him walking around she jumped up and down screaming and bolted in his direction, I barely grabbed my camera fast enough to run across the place and catch up for a picture! She was so excited that she then had to find Chris so he could go see Chuckie too! She had such a great time and seriously got way too many toys! That girl has so many friends lol. She really is such a sweet heart though, I decided God gave me the perfect baby. It seems lately anytime i start to get upset or frustrated she looks me straight in the eye and says, "mommy, i love you". All my frustrations melt away when that little girl looks at me with those big brown eyes.
Dan's been working a lot lately which has put a tiny strain on our schedules since he works days and I work nights, they've been crossing over at times. But luckily I have an awesome family that has helped us out when that happens. I'm not sure it's going to get any better though, with the company growing like wild fire and him being in charge of Shipping, he sort of has to be there. That man will do anything for his family though! He's always doing extra to help them realize how great he is. His bosses always love him, he gives his all to make sure he does the job right. Even though he's gone all the time i sure am proud of him for being such a great father and husband!
As for me, I've been trying super hard to try and not stress work too much but find it extremely hard some days. The drama never ceases, I swear it just gets worse, like almost break into tears worse. When people fall short it makes other peoples jobs 10 times harder when really it's NOT THAT HARD! Sorry...but seriously people you know what i mean, doing your job is easy....doing everyone else's and yours will cause serious health problems! One thing that I will say, is I have no sympathy for mean crazy people anymore, I wasted that years ago on Dans ex! Lol, no seriously. So anyhow other than work, like I've said I've been super busy, I've been doing my jogging at night because I've run out of time during the day to do it. I feel like I'm running in circles but just doing the same stuff over and over again, I never get to do anything new. I'm determined that will change soon though! I want to get out and do tons of stuff this summer, so if you ever want to go play let me know!!! Well do to my awful memory that's going to be the end of this catch up, I can't think of anything else right now and honestly I'm not sure i could if I tried, so until next time, take care everyone!


Oops! Side note:
I am so excited about this!!! We had Rachel do our family pictures this weekend and I can not wait to see them! She is so amazing and I love that girl to pieces! She is such a sweetheart and does way too much for me! She is so stinkin talented and finds ideas where I'd never think to look or pay any attention to. I couldn't give her enough praise, she has a wonderful gift and I'm so lucky to have her as a friend!
