I'm here...real life, sort of

I haven't had much time to really post anything about our little fam. I'm hoping to do that tonight after the kiddos are in bed. I know I still have to post about Halloween, and I have this hilarious video of Julia pretending to be Julia Child...but I thought some of you that know me would get a kick out of this little post.

Okay, I confess, I'm a huge Twilight fan. I didn't get into to at first. A lot of my friends said they really couldn't get into the book. The Young Women I was serving with at the time were crazy about it. Especially one...who will remain nameless. But with that said, this summer while at the library, I saw the DVD and thought why not. I'll watch it. My Mom was out here visiting and I thought it would be something fun for us to do. Well, after I saw it, I had to read the books. I thought to myself... my Mom's here so I won't read them now, I'll just request them from our local library and when the get in I'll read them. Well a few days later, they all came in. Off we went to the Library. I thought I will start the first one, just reading at bedtime, because my Mom's here and I should really be spending time with her. Well it didn't really work like that. I was hooked. Totally and utterly hooked. I flew through the first one in a day and a half, took New Moon with us to the ward campout, which was just one night and lets just say in a few short days, I had read all 4 books! I wasn't really to social. I would even go to bed early claiming I was really tired but actually would stay up way too late and read. Looking back, I kind of feel bad...sort of, maybe... Well today on a blog that I follow they were having a New Moon giveaway, which sadly I didn't win...but I found this... Which Cullen heroine are you... I took the quiz... and ...

I've told Shawn that if Edward comes to the door looking for me, well the reality is I'll have to leave him... He got a kick out if it, I hope you do too! Hey check out this giveaway! I really want this one...maybe I'll have better luck this time!

Blondes Have More Fun!

I had to post pics!  I went and had my hair done at the school here in town.  They did a really good job.  I think so.  Don't ask Shawn though.  He's not sure about the colour, and the shape of the haircut reminds him of some kind of dog.  He tried back tracking out of that comment.  It didn't go to well.  But what matters most is I like it.  And Emily is excited that we match now!

I've Decided!

So I've decided that I won't let the kids stop me from running in the morning.  Since, Rebecca is such an early bird I've decided to start trucking her with me.  I have such great friends, they took turns pushing Becca.  It was so nice to finally get out.  And the days I don't run we go for a bike ride.  I am so happy the weather is finally nice.  We are going to make this work!  Isn't she cute though!

My Kids Are Out to Get Me!!!

I swear my kids are out to get me!  I know they are.  It's seems like every Monday night or Wednesday night, they just don't want to sleep at 1am 2am 3am...get the idea.  It's like they know, "Mom is going running tomorrow but I think she'll have so much more fun with me!"  I do feel bad for Rebecca right now.  She is still so stuffed up and is having a rough go.  I woke up to screaming from Emily and Julia's room.  I seriously thought I was dreaming at first.  I go running down the stairs and find Emily sitting right up in her bed screaming.  "I have to pee, but there's monsters!  I can't get out of bed!"  Poor girl!  I assure her we have no monsters living here, but it still doesn't seem to be enough to console her.  Finally she goes back to bad.  Okay 2:45am I can still function, if I'm luck on 4 hours of sleep.  As I finally lay down in my own bed, giving into the sleep...what do I hear...it sounds like a road race...the pitter patter of feet.  Well just one set of feet.  But boy where they fast.  Julia comes running into our room.  "I'm hot, I'm hot."  First thing I think "Great, a Fever"  Nope!  She's just hot.  Let's change the pajamas.  But then the sweet girl wants to sleep with us.  I found feet in the my face, back and my pillow gone.  All the while Rebecca needs me sporadically through the night.  I feel so blessed to be her food source especially when I look over to our bed and see Shawn snoring and Julia out cold.  Well 5:30am comes.  And I roll over and turn off the alarm.  "I'm crazy if I try this" "should I sleep or run" and "If I'm lucky I'll get in one more hour of sleep!"  I think, I can't even think.  I succumb to sleep.  I may have won the hour.  I did I hear Emily's alarm go off. 6:45am.  I realize one day I'll miss this.  And it's neat to think they need me!  Well, any of my running girls if you read this, I'll try again, but like I said THEY ARE OUT TO GET ME!
