Ryan--the Movie

I hope this works.  I've been meaning to share this with everyone.

You Are My Sunshine

As I sit here on the computer watching my little angel play it makes me so happy.  I am super happy.  I can't imagine not having her.  She is my sunshine and she knows it because I sing that song to her ALL THE TIME.

You are my sunshine

My only sunshine

You make me happy

When skies are gray

You'll never know dear

How much i love you

Please don't take

My sunshine away

Being a mother is a love beyond anything anyone could ever imagine.

I love it.  It is true LOVE. 

I Work Hard

Here is my Saturday....

It started perfect and I was in "relaxation mode".  Got up early, left the 2 RC's in bed and went to one of my favorite places--Starbucks for my favorite drink, a "grande caramel macchiato" (it gets quotations because it's too good not to have them).  Yep, I left her with Daddy 1st thing in the morning.  His instructions, "everything is ready just warm it up and feed her".  (He has it so easy!)

I returned a couple hours later after running my errands and having some much needed "me" time to...........

them.

still sleep in bed. (WOW, I know.  I love them so much, they are both perfect)

****imagine a picture of them sleeping right here****

So I went to fix my love his favorite for breakfast--a 3 egg omelet with all the fixins and toast.

(Oh, and I must say he had his favorite strawberry jam also)

The beginning of  a PERFECT Saturday.  I was in total "suzie homeaker" mode.  My niece and nephew were over to play and the kids had a fabulous time, afterall, I am "Aunt Tisha".
Their "Poppy" (grandpa) came to see them and read to them.  I'm telling you, this was the best Saturday if you are a kid.

Anyway, I made cake balls for the 3rd time. I still haven't perfected them but everyone enjoyed them.

I even rented the carpet cleaner from Kroger and cleaned my carpet.

And, this innocent little machine is the reason I got so much heat...............

For a month I have been talking about getting the carpet cleaned.  The people I used to use (a "hook up" from my Dad) aren't in business, or at least I can't get in contact with them, and instead of paying an arm and a leg for those people on the commercials I thought
 (since we are in a recession AND my household is on a TIGHT budget AND it can't be that hard)
I'll do it myself........it was worth it.

But there were still some issues before I could clean my beloved carpet:

1. R wanted to grill some steaks (which requires direct access through the area that needs to be cleaned)
2. I had all this company that I didn't expect (who was family so it shouldn't count as guests but for me it did)
3. Ryan and nephew were going 100% ALL DAY.  EVENING. AND NIGHT (You would think my sister and I put Energizer batteries in them)
4. Lastly, by now my patience was gone and I just wanted everyone to leave or go to bed so I could do what I had to do!!!!!! (I kind of had an attitude by the end of the day)

Everyone had something to say about my attitude.  All I was just trying to do was complete my Saturday To-Do List (my OCD starts to act up when I feel stressed).
They just don't understand how I operate..........even though by now they SHOULD understand how I operate.

Here's the thing, R and I have worked VERY HARD and have been EXTREMELY BLESSED to have all that we have.  Once you get that home you have longed for you want to take care of it. Even if it means renting the carpet cleaning machine from Kroger (to stick to the budget) or scrubbing the walls for finger prints every other day (when you know someone will come touch it within the next hour)...it doesn't matter.  It's our home and we are proud of it.  and I like to take care of it.

Even if it drives me to this at the end of the day.

or this
in the middle of the day to keep her occupied so I can finish the cake balls because we are home alone temporarily

I (WE) have work(ed) too hard to get here.

Yes, I have a little anxiety mixed with a little OCD.
And yes, I am a little spoiled and like to have things my way.

But it doesn't matter.

I have worked hard to get here. and stay here

and am thankful for what God has given me.

And I can have an attitude if I want to

So just let me finish my day by cleaning my carpet so I can go to bed.

:)

(Not the way I meant for this post to go but I just started typing and this is what I ended up with)

Good night!!
