A little bit for me

-
    This post is actually a little late, but I was tired last night and wanted nothing more than to curl up with my hubby and catch some zzz's.
    Yesterday I made it into a me day. Not a "I need quiet time" day, but a "I need pampered" day. So thats exactly what I did. Daddy took little man for the majority of the day while I focused on me. I definitely got caught up on my maintenance, and I feel so much better for it.
     I started the day out with a cut and dye. Yes ladies, I cut my hair again.. But not much. I swear. I only took off a little over an inch and had it thinned. I'm actually working towards growing my hair back out. It currently sits about my bra line, but I'm looking forward to it being at my waist line again.
  Then I was off to do some shopping for myself and the kids. Each of the kids got 2 new outfits and momma picked up 2 new dresses and a couple pair of heels. And might I dare say... I look amazing in both dresses. I also got a few little things here and there and grabbed some groceries, but nothing too important.
     After showering and spending about an hour with the hubby and our son, my MIL and I took off to run a few basic errands and to pick up daddy's matching ring to mine from being resized.

(Aren't they beautiful? Pictures really dont serve them justice.)

    Shortly after returning back to my MIL's, I had to take off again. Why you ask? It was time for this girl to get her manicure on!! I aced getting out of my comfort zone. They are gorgeous (though not something I would normally do). Want to see?

     By the time I got out of the salon (after a manicure and spending an extra 30 helping my nail artist figure out a good trim color and counter tops for her home remodel), daddy and wee man were already headed out to get my step daughter... So I went home to enjoy some quiet. I cleaned and made some preparations for little miss. I enjoyed some down time, and made dinner. 
     When everyone finally got back into town, daddy dropped off the kids with me while he ran out to get a few things I had left at my MIL's. Both kids clung to me like magnets. Ally immediately realized I had changed my hair and nails and was eager to check them out. (Of course that was followed by lots of oohs and ahhs from my little man.)
    I got to finish off the night with my family and good conversation. My MIL even joined us for dinner and coffee. We all shared the events of our day, had a few good laughs, and just enjoyed our time together. Now on to enjoy a wonderful weekend with the family.

    I love that turquoise color on your nail tips. My younger stepdaughter and I enjoyed a shopping trip over the weekend. It's nice sometimes to treat ourselves.

This week in review

-
   I would be lying if I said this week has been any easier than the ones it followed. It's actually been more hectic than the weeks before. With school being out longer than what was originally foreseen, well it's been a pain in the ass. I'm actually hoping that school decides to tack on a week or two once they do return. This momma needs a break. But if we are being completely honest... I wish they would continue the school year through most of the summer.. or at very least offer summer schooling. I think that would be considered fair since my kids fight me so hard on doing their school work and turning it in on time. Homeschooling is definitely not for the faint of heart. It will drive you insane.     On the plus side of things, we got a midweek visit from Daddy. His load schedule allowed him to come home for 24 hours in between loads. So yay for us. Brandi and I both needed some Daddy time. The kids weren't so happy to see him though. They were all in trouble for g

In my feelings

                                       Okay, so I'll admit that lately the lack of a relationship with my parents has been weighing heavily on me. I look at my kiddos and see all the joy and happiness they bring me and wonder how can any parent not want that with their own flesh and blood... or with any child they lay claim to? My kids are the very reason I live and breath. While yes, there are plenty of times they cause what seems like and incurable migraine, they bring me so many happy moments as well.     I never got the feeling that I made either of my parents happy at any point. My father raised 3 children that were not his and didn't even meet me until I was 12. Then he didn't return until I was 17. Sad to say our moral values didn't align and that relationship was short lived. My mother raised me, mostly, but we never had a connection either. In fact most of my life I felt that I was a mistake and unwanted. That didn't change in my adult life either.        I

Just popping in

    Since quite a few of my followers only knew me by my blog, I've decided to do random pop ins. I wanted to let you all know that I am doing amazing. I've really been enjoying life. Daily visits to the park, and using my extra time to take care of myself. Today was a manicure, shopping, and girl time with my SIL. I'm currently on a trip out of town with the hubby to do some more shopping for myself and little man and a dinner date with my love.
