Babies and Birthdays

Yesterday was my birthday and also the day that I found out that I am having another girl. Yes for those of you who didn't know. I am expecting my 4th and last child. I am excited but nervous at the same time.

So I spent my birthday working during the day and sitting at the hairdressers for the evening and then leaving and not even liking the way my hair came out.

My daughter gave me the cutest gift ever, a hand made jewelry box with a necklace inside.

This weekend the hubby and I will go out to eat, which should be nice. It will be nice for just the two of us to go out without kids with us.

Tooth Fairy

Within the last month my daughter has lost 3 teeth (2 of them were within the last week). Three teeth that the dentist said would fall out sometime in the summer, since the new ones were already coming in. Well my daughter still believes in the tooth fairy, so I still go through the entire routine of putting the money under her pillow and taking the tooth, etc...

It's crazy because last night I forgot all about it until my hubby and I were talking early this morning and then it hit me that I forgot to do the exchange. Faced with her waking up and not finding her "gift" my hubby and i devised a plan for him to go and distract her so that I could run into her room and slip the money under her pillow and grab the bag with the tooth. If you could have saw us...We were a mess.

The things you do for your kids.

The Sick Bug

Man I tell you when it rains it pours. The sick bug has been going through my house for a week and a half and has hit all of the kids. It really sucks when this happens, because I tend to feel guilty for having a career and not being able to stay home with them, but instead I have to ship them off to a family members house, or the one day that I do stay home with them, I spend half the time cleaning the house, the other half trying to still deal with work situations from home. Oh and forget about the times with my other half stays home from work. I get more phone calls when he is home with the kids than ever, always with silly questions such as, where is this and where is that, how do i do this, how much medicine should I give them.

Hopefully everyone will get better very quick.

4 Years

Wow I have actually had this blog for 4 years. I happened to read some of my real old posts and now I laugh so much at them. I definitely see how I have changed with some of the things I write about now as opposed to in the beginning.

You know I have seen people start blogs that I truly enjoyed reading and then for no apparent reason they just stop blogging. I often wonder what happened to them. Now I have a handful of blogs that I read and that suits me just fine. No longer do I need tons of blogs to read. I think it's part of me getting older.

Part of me getting older is becoming more wiser, making smarter choices than I once did in the past. I hold onto and value my family and friendships more. It upsets me when I see people who take things for granted. I try to surround myself with less drama and remove myself from people who seem to love it. I have learned how important it is to keep in touch with people even if you don't feel like talking to them. Even dropping a card in the mail or sending an email just to say hello and let people know you are ok and thinking of them because tomorrow is not promised to anyone.
