Gosh that came fast.....

Last night was my family Christmas at my house. Let's see there was, Grandma, Mom, Tami, Chris, Kylie, Ryan, Devin, Tera, Tavia, Me, Greyson, Carlos, Ron, Cher, and Ryan's girlfriend Sara. We really enjoyed the night. We had a lot of really good, fattening food. There was Buffalo Chicken Dip, sub sandwiches, Pecan Sandies, Oriental chocolate cookies, bacon and ranch stuffed mushrooms, crab stuffed mushrooms, mini cheesecakes, little smokies, meatballs, and a huge cheese ball that Mom made. We were snacking all night just making ourselves sick, but it was so delicious. I probably gained 20 pounds, lol. Gary read "Twas the Night Before Christmas" like he does every year. We did the presents and then we got a little picture goofy. Surprise we got goofy. Greyson got lots of nice toys and he's been having a hay day with them all day today. Here are some pictures of last night. I hope your Christmas was a blessed one!

Some pretty snow pictures

I just wanted to share with you how gorgeous it looks outside at my house with all of this snow. I am so glad that it's the weekend and that I don't have to drive in it.

6-10 inches is what they are forecasting.....

We have gotten about 5 inches so far. Carlos left at 7 this morning to start plowing. So, Greyson and I went outside to play in it. He wasn't that excited about it. He just looked at the ground like what the heck happened out here? Here are some pics. I will bring him out again. I want some really good pictures but he wasn't smiling out there. He was in awe. I tried to lay him down in it so he could make a snow angel. By the picture you can tell that wasn't a good idea, haha...poor baby.

My big boy haircut!

Tonight Mom and I took Greyson to the Plaid Monkey which is a hair cutting place for kids. They had the cutest things in there to play with so the kids would stay happy. Greyson was watching Barny while he was getting his hair cut. He did very well. I was a little afraid he would scream but he could care less, LOL. Here are the pictures.

My Dearest Greyson.....

Dear Greyson,

I just wanted to say thank you for being so fun. We were just playing and laughing in each others faces and you SMACKED me right in the face. That was really sweet of you. I also wanted to say thank you for poking me in my eye yesterday when I had a migraine and knocking my contact lense up behind my lid. You're the best!

Love,

Mommy

Stop with the ice already..

If you click on my pictures they will enlarge



It has been raining for the last 2 days and it freezes overnight. Out temp at night is like 25. Carlos has been gone for the past two nights putting salt down at the businesses he works for. Here is what it looked like this morning. behind my house. Tonight we are supposed to get more with a wintery mix that is supposed to accumulate.

Wow, what a day..

I'll first start by saying I was over at Mom's last night and I started getting this headache which is kind of rare for me. I guess I should feel lucky for that. It progressively got worse as the night went on. It was behind my eyes and everything.I decided it was time to go home and try to sleep it off after a total of 1600 mg's of Ibuprofen. It wasn't touching it. I went home and went to bed only to wake up all night because my head was hurting. Thank God Greyson was at Mom's house spending the night. I felt so nauseous and the pain in my head was severe. I called my Mom and told her I was going to the Emergency room. I was getting so freaked out. I was afraid something serious was going on because this was something I've never had to go through. I went to the hospital and they got me in immediately. I was sent for a Cat Scan, EKG, blood work and a urine sample. Everything came back normal. I just had my first migraine. I hope I never have another one. I really wouldn't wish that pain on anyone. I told them it was worse than my c-section I had. Now, that's serious, LOL. Anyway, I went to Mom's after I left the hospital and as soon as I got there I told Mom to get me something I was feeling really sick to my stomach. I barely made it to the trashcan. I got so sick and couldn't quit. I took some Vicodin and went to sleep for about 3 hours. I woke up feeling better but I still have some pressure behind my eyes. It hurts to bend over or doing any lifting. I was afraid the hospital was going to be packed due to the ice storm we had last night. I will post about that next. I hope I never have another migraine again.

Poor Carlos

He has no clue I made this......

I thought this was good!

Well, I think we are getting back to normal..

I think we are I said. Greyson was really good today, not whiney or needy at all. I think maybe a big part of it is teething. I say that now but I just changed a pretty nasty diaper before I put him to bed. Let's hope that wasn't the start or more of what he's been going through. Anyway, I've taken some pictures and played with them a bit and I wanted to share them with all two of my readers. Hello....hello.....anybody out there?




My Daddy's cowboy hat and my new boots from my Daddy's town in Mexico




My Daddy wants me to be just like him....that's what Mommy says




Watching Mimi (Minnie)go potty outside

Can't I just get a lil break Greyson?

This morning Greyson's right eye was glued shut when I woke him up, so I cleaned it off and took him to Tami's hoping she wouldn't say anything...I can't miss another day of work. So, we get there and I'm about to leave and she says, "He feels hot." I just kinda brushed it off. I hadn't noticed honestly. Well, she took his temp and sure enough he had a fever. So, I had to call into work. I just went ahead a drove to his Dr.s office in hopes that they would just squeeze him in. They did, in fact we were in and out of there within 30 minutes. Greyson has pink eye and a virus. I hadn't even noticed that he had a rash on his back, not bad enough that I saw it.

Today he has been so whiney. I was so glad to see Carlos when he got home from work. I couldn't wait to get a break. Carlos didn't do crap. He was tired from work. So, I felt guilty because I was home all day and he wasn't. So, I took care of him. He wouldn't go to sleep for me which is very unlike him. Usually he will lay down as soon as I put him in his crib and go to sleep. I attempted to put him to sleep 3 times. None of those times worked. This last time, I just let him cry. I felt bad but oh my gosh, go to sleep already. I just hope tomorrow will be much better.....

I actually colored my hair brown

Last night I went to my Mom's house and had her color my hair brown. I am just sick of running to the salon and paying so much to get it highlighted. I'm sure it'll be blonde again some day. Maybe in the summertime.

So here is a before (nice picture huh)



Here is while it was being colored



And here is the final cut and color.




A friend of mine said that she can see some resemblance now with Greyson and I. I am not in love with it, that's for sure. It'll grow on me...get it, my hair will grow on me, ah ha ha ha.


Another thing going on...Greyson has pink eye and a virus. So, he's getting drops in his eye. Last week my niece and my lil cousin had strep throat and they are with Greyson every day at my sisters. So, I'm hoping he won't get that now!

Merry Elfin Christmas!

This was so fun to make! The best part was it's FREE! Click here to see what I'm talking about!
