Blogger M.I.A.

So I know I have been Missing In Action the last 6 months, sorry! Truth is things have been crazy with lots of activities and places to go, things to do and people to see ..... Stuff I should probably be blogging about right? So I am playing a little catch up, mostly for the Grandmas and family who cares to see the "Ewing Action." I will be trying to go in chronological order and will probably backdate the posts so that they fit into the months that they actually happened ..... ya know cheating to make it look like I posted things when I should have :-) (including this post, yep it's going to be labeled March and not August)

Sorry to all those dedicated bloggers who update their blogs regularly and never have blogging black outs that I know have been going NUTTS while checking mine and seeing the same post up for months !

I will be on the ball from here on out!

Oh and I also decided to give the blog a facelift and shake it up a bit, I like it hope you do. The family picture was done by my good friend Suzi and I will be posting more soon!

New Mommy ????

It has been SUNNY and Warm'is here in Erie! I am loving the healthy dose of Sunshine and Vitamin D we are getting. The kids get outside recess and Jack and I are getting out of the house daily to catch some rays :-)

So this past Sunday after Church Wes was walking out with the kids to the car, they had found me once ..... and then I had lost them again ..... so he just got sick of waiting and decided to go to the van. (I had the keys) As soon as I came out of the building Dylan came running up to me and said: "Oh, Mom I thought you were lost" and started crying ... just broke my heart. A big hug later and some reassurance from me that I was not lost and he seemed fine. He then jumped into Wes's car with him to head home. Everything seemed hunky dory.

When we got home Wes told me that on their way out to the car after Church Dylan asked: "Where's Mommy?" and Wes responded with a casual "She's lost." Dylan than panicked and said: "Oh no what are we going to do?" and started crying Wes then said: "Don't worry we'll get a new Mommy." (nice right...) This brought and eye roll from Reagan, and massive tears from Dylan follow by: "Oh, I'm really going to miss her" (it's good to know that I am loved). So this explains Dylan's tears and relief when he saw me coming out of the Church. Later that day I explained that I would always be his Mommy no matter what!

Good to know that I am so quickly replace by some, and truly missed by others ..... you know who you are!

Happy Kids Make Me Happy !!

Lately I have been a little "down" sick of being in the house, wishing I felt 100% physically, and trying to get back to myself again .... whatever that is :-) My kids are great at helping me find out what normal is and how to get right back into it. They have been a great distraction for me and my recent useless self pity ...... blaaahhh. Between running them from one thing to the next, to attempting to keep up with the regular Mom stuff I don't have a lot of time to sit and wish and worry, or think about my current miss-comfort. One of my goals for 2010 is to write something in the journals I have just for them, at least once a week. Wow this has made such an uplifting and positive difference in my life lately! I love writing down the fun things they say, or making little notes to them about how amazing I think they are, and how impressed I am with their talents and abilities. It has been really good for me to get out of myself, and really enjoy the more important silly kids stuff! As I have said many many times .... Reagan, Dylan and Jack you are amazing and I am So Luck to be your Mommy :-) Thanks for helping me see the bigger picture through your little eyes, Love you!

September is Gonna Kill Me!

I really don't know what to say here! I think the title says it all! September is going to KILL me! I am exhausted ......... I "broke the news" to Reagan that we may be doing Birthday parties every other year, or trading off with Dylan or something. Because I can't do this every September, bunch of nothing but party planning and prep for a week, and then turn around and do nothing but party planning and prep for another week, oh and one more week of party planning and prep added right onto that! Did you catch that .....???.... 3 parties between the 10th and the 27th (not including my own Birthday, I don't plan that one ..... anymore, it's Wes job, or it's skipped) And each party is for a completely different person, with completely different tastes and interests ..... and ages! 2 down and 1 to go! I am done ranting, good night!
p.s. Party pictures to come!
