One Step At A Time...

I have my own dishwasher that works on command! My old dishwasher did not do this, much to my annoyance. Let's just say my old dishwasher is very glad he has lost his job and was replaced by a machine lol. He was so excited that he installed the whole thing himself. It did not leak afterwards either. My old dishwasher using my new dishwasher!

  Ugh...More snow on the way. I hate winter. Can it be spring yet? I want to see grass and my tulips blooming. Leaves on the trees, sunshine and listening to birds sings, that is what I long for.

My new oven is all hooked up :o). My old oven...that would blow fuses randomly and half of the burners worked. My new beautiful and fully functional oven!! I am a proud  and happy lady today!

I am very impatiently waiting for Thursday! On Thursday I will be the proud owner of a brand new dishwasher and oven. A dishwasher!!!! I am so excited for the dishwasher!! In 2-3 weeks, a brand new bed will be delievered. I am so excited to have a good night's sleep. We decided to finally just go and get some of the things we so desparately needed. It will be so nice to have a oven that completely works, a bed that we get some rest on, and dishwasher since I loathe dishes. I am now rambling so Bye!

He was the same age as my baby. I cannot imagine the pain his parents feel. I cannot fathom it. The pain that is searing through their hearts. I look at my kids and cannot imagine one of them not being in my life. They are the most important people in my life. How can this happen to any parent? My heart hurts.  There are just so many things that I do not understand. I know everything happens for a reason but child death is just seems too hard to bear. Our children are gifts that we should never take for granted. Hold yours close to your heart.  Stop what you are doing and call/hug/kiss them.   We just never know when our time together can be over.   Life is not about the breaths you take, it is about the moment that take your breath away. Allow yourself to make memories with your family, take pictures and capture them forever. Someday all that will be left are those pictures and those memories. Hold your babies while they sleep. Breathe in their scent, feel their breath on your sk

In the arms of the angels far away you will stay forever. Safe and warm, without a care. You will be deeply and forever missed. Your memories will help through the hard days. Your smile will forever light up many lives. Rest now sweet baby. May the arms of the angels Hold your family near As they say good night For it is not goodbye for they will See you again someday.

    Thursday, February 17 2pm 3°C Sunny 0%  This is the forecast for this Thursday! I am so airing out this sick house! Cannot wait to let the fresh air blow through!          

At the end of last year we lost a amazing friend Tyrone. Our friend Josh wrote and recorded this song in tribute to Tyrone. It is totally bring back memories of my teens/early 20's. Walkie Talkies, hide and seek with the cars with headlights turned off, heading to the promise land.  We do not remember days; we remember moments. ~ Cesare Pavese  Today I am going to spend the day remembering happy moments. http://www.mediafire.com/?og8f5lj7foad8ts is where you can download the song if you would like to listen!

As I get older, I find myself growing apart from my oldest and dearest friend. This hurts my heart tremendously. Time just seems to have slip by us.   I feel like marriage, children, distance and possibly different faith beliefs seems to have separated us. I feel like a part of me is missing. I miss you.

Friday my computer died on me. My kids thought the keyboard would make a lovely drum. I tried everything and nothing. So Hubby took it to IT cousin ( my hero :o) ) and he doctored it all up! It took 30 mins. Thank you DB! In other news, it was my turn to get sick. Throat and ear infection on my right side. Got meds and am finally starting to feel better. I miss the gym! I will be back with a rambling or some sort tomorrow but for now I am going to bed.

I finally am getting around to getting my house back to normal. Dishes are finally caught up and Adam desparately wants a dishwasher now! I am totally onboard with that idea, by the way. I just spent 1 hr folding 6 loads of laundry and now will start the putting them away process, which I hate the most! Why is it so hard to put the freaking clothes away? I think we should all just live out of laundry baskets. I am mean the clothes just end up back in the basket at some point. My goal is have my living room completely cleaned, dusted and vaccumed by this afternoon.
