instant karma

on my first outing yesterday since the most awful surgery my mom and i went to walmart. within the first three minutes there were the most interesting people. my cousin and i always laugh about the people of walmart website so i had to text her. i told my mom i'd meet up with her after i went to the bathroom. texting away- i'm telling my cousin all about the weirdos there. i go into the bathroom turn the corner and almost go to a stall when i finally look up and there is a guy in there {my first thought- why is there a boy in the girls bathroom?} he looks at me and says, 'i think you're in the wrong one' i just smile and say- welp that's what i get for not paying attention! i was dying. can you imagine if i would have walked in on men peeing? so gross. that was my instant karma for talking crap on the people of walmart.

six down

if anyone is thinking about getting their tonsils out- don't. if i would have known how completely miserable i still am on day 7 i never would have done it. i can only hope now to one day say this was all worth it. brubs got his wisdom teeth out yesterday so it's been nice to have someone to be couch ridden with. i don't have energy to even get up longer than 5 minutes. i don't know what i would do without my mom. she has been amazing through this. ok- enough complaining there has to be an upside. i got on the scale and I'm 6 pounds down. what a great start to my new years resolution of losing weight. i haven't weighed this much for years! now i just need to make it stay off once im feeling better. if that day ever comes!!

i feel like death

everyone keeps asking how i'm feeling.

honestly- all i can say is i feel like death.

{good luck breezy when you get those bad boys out}

it's completely miserable. i woke up this morning in tears. thank goodness for amazing pain meds. i don't know what i would do without them. i wouldn't wish this on anyone. ok- well maybe some people but you know what i mean :)

merry christmas eve tomorrow!!

tonsils- who needs them?

i got the tonsils out yesterday. everything went great!! today- i feel like death. it's so miserable. i'm just hoping that i'm a lot better for christmas eve. everyone has been so supportive i don't know what i would do with out my amazing family and friends. thank you all for your sweet messages, texts, and calls { even though i can't answer ;) } it means so much to me to have such good people in my life. here's to hoping i heal quickly and enjoy christmas!!

... and after!! no more nasty huge tonsils in my throat anymore!

lucky babes

i wrapped presents for hours this morning. my mom and i watched home alone and went to town. i'm getting my tonsils out on wednesday and wanted to make sure everything was all done. i'm a little bit ocd when it comes to wrapping. if i left it up to hubs he would make it look like it was done in 2 seconds. wrapping just isn't his thing. so for my peace of mind- i just did it all today. now i just get to relax and enjoy the less than ONE week until christmas. or until i'm just drugged up from my surgery to get me through. eeeeepppp i'm so dang scared to get my tonsils out. i hear it's a nightmare. my doctor said to be prepared to be miserable for 7-10 days. please cross your fingers for me!!

my mom, sister, and i got the majority of my shopping done in 1 day

whoop whoop! and then wrapped the next day.

my mom had to sit in the back seat because sis gets car sick.

my whole car was crammed full of presents.

she was a good sport :)

taaadaaa!

and santa still hasn't even hit the house up yet ;)

my babes are so lucky

sick day

jags was sick today. he started not feeling well yesterday. i called in to work- he just needed a mama day :) we woke up this morning and got kennedy ready for school. once she found out that i was staying home with him, her tummy magically started to hurt. so we all watched movies and hung out in bed. i think jaggers secret remedy was issy { i love how he calls her issy. it's so cute}, mamaaaa {yes he emphasizes the end of mamaaa }, and his blankey :)

i love my monsters

coffee is a diuretic

i got this lovely in the mail today. and- oh my. he is so delicious. i could stare at this cover all day.

 i just wish that my cousin in new york was here to read this with me. i swear all we do when we get together is read up on our celebrity gossip {yay- kourtney k. is prego again!} and make trips to walmart. rhea- hurry and come visit me i miss you!!

i can't believe tomorrow is december 1st.

ps- hi erin ;)

seven

i have a 7 year old. it's so weird to think she is that old. 7 years ago my life changed so drastically and i wouldn't change a thing. i love how she is. i love that she loves me. and i love that she is amazing. she is so smart and talented. she acts like a 13 year old.

she is so sassy. she argues like crazy but knows when to stop. i love more than anything that i have a best friend for life. she is genuinely so sweet. and i couldn't have asked for a better big sister. she loves the crafts i make for her.

every night we watch elf or the santa claus. i love that she loves the holidays like i do. i can't wait to see the amazing person she is growing up to be.

stop growing up so fast little girl.

love you more than the most

the morning of her birthday the first thing she said was- are there presents for me? she ran out of bed so excited. so this is her just wake up out of bed look. ooooh man i love her
