Happy Valentine's Day everyone!!

I hope you are all enjoying your day.........................

I'm going to be honest with you -- I was kinda grumpy about Valentine's Day this year. I told my husband "Don't waste your time getting anything for me this year or trying to be romantic...I have to work Sunday, Monday, & Tuesday so it's not worth it. Let's just pretend Vday isn't happening this year, okay? It will be easier this way"

He concurred.

Instead of spending Vday having a romantic time with my husband,....... I will be spending it hanging antibiotics, bathing old people, doing assessments, assisting people while they vomit, & running around like a chicken with my head-cut-off at work. How romantic.!!!

Well, I got home from work this morning -- walked into our kitchen, flipped on the lights to find a bouquet of beautiful roses and a heart-felt, hand-written love-note

:-)

Okay, maybe Valentine's Day isn't SO bad. ;) I'm very blessed. My husband's a good guy

I have just 2 more nights and I'm on a little vacation for a week! We are staying at the W Scottsdale resort in Scottsdale & then flying North to see Ryan's family and be there for our Goddaughter/Niece Claire's Baptism! It will be a fantastic time!

I'm kinda ready for a little break from work!! Last week I worked 4 nights in a row, took 2 nights off and was back at it -- I feel like I kind of live there lately and I miss sleeping in my bed at night!


Have a great day and remind ALL the fabulous people how much you love them!

I am glad that Ryan surprised you like that! I know life is stressful and working nights is less than ideal... but hopefully this will be behind you soon!

And just be thankful that you HAVE a Valentine. :) I know it sucks to not be able to spend the holiday together and to go days w/out seeing each other, but I'd love to have what you two have. :) Whenever I find myself down about things, I say to myself, "I am lucky because...." I think if you think of life in that way, it helps! And you are definitely VERY lucky to have a wonderful husband who adores you!

I agree with Lisa - you are so fortunate to have such a romantic husband who treats you like a "rose petal"! Remember those words? :)!

What is your color?

Green My favorite color ever! I have to control myself to not purchase too many green things. If I had no control, my house would be green. My kitchen would be lime-themed. With greenery everywhere. My bathrooms would be green. My bedroom would be green. You would all feel nauseated-green after entering my home. (So I don't have a green-themed home) Many things I love are green, such as: Spinach (I eat it a minimum twice a day usually) My weding color was green. (clover green) Limes (I have at least one time a day) Grass. I love the feel of grass, especially since I see it so rarely in AZ (except in my neighborhood that has amazing landscapers with grass-galore) Palm trees. Any tree. Christmas trees. I love Christmas Green Beer. I think the green beer on St. Patty's Day tastes better. My favorite color of eyes. When I was in 9th grade, I so badly wanted to get green contacts. But they made me keep my brown eyes. Diet Mountain Dew (my guilty pleasure) Granny Smith

8 Months

 Well, I missed month 1-8. But it is never too late to begin, right? Here is a recap of Maddy at 8 months. (I'm totally stealing this idea from my sister, Lisa. I thought it was so neat that she recaps her son's favorites and happenings every month)   How am I sleeping? Better than I was - but not as good as my peers. It also depends on if I'm teething. Last week, her 2nd tooth was poking through - so she was awake 3 times.  No matter how much I let her cry it out, I cannot seem to cut down her feedings. When I go in there - she is literally pulling at my shirt with her mouth wide open. So clearly she's hungry.  She eats 2 times/night and luckily goes right back to sleep. It is what it is. What am I eating? While we have had breastfeeding and bottle refusal struggles - I am so glad that taking to food as been relatively smooth. We are doing baby led weaning, and Maddy really enjoys most every food I've given her.  Her favorite foods are scrambled eggs, apples, and c

Currently - May edition

   I haven't blogged much - but the last time I did one of these, Maddy was 9 months old. It's really fun looking back on the things that were "stressors" to me at that time. Prior to that - my currently post was a pregnancy edition.  So here goes May 2022. Maddy is almost a 15-month old and summer has set ablaze here in Tucson.   Reading :  I really wish I had a better answer for this one, but I have not been the best about reading lately. The only book I'm reading is "How to talk to your kids so they'll listen and listen so they'll talk". It is really good. Most of the book is geared more to school-aged kids, in my opinion. But it highlights some great communication skills with children to help them trust you as a parent to be open and honest. Eating: All the smoothies. It has been getting really hot here - and every day when we get home from our stroller run I make a smoothie for Maddy with whole milk, Fage, and fruit - and then a smoothie for
