*I had a bad nightmare a few nights ago that shook me up, not going
into details, but in the dream, I died...*
*so I have been doing some soul searching and praying, and decided to stop
watching so many scary movies and reality TV. Then this am, this is in my
daily email devotional:*
What will your life accomplish? "You have decided the length of our lives.
You know how many months we will live and we are not given a minute longer.
*Job 14:5 NLT*"
*Then I open up my baby center daily email and this is the topic:*
*Hi Susanne! Have you written a will,* or updated it since Carson was born?
According to Consumer Reports, 70 percent of Americans don't have a last
will and testament. As difficult as the conversation may be, it's very
important to talk with Rob and decide who you would like to raise Carson and
any other children you have in the event that something happened to both of
you.
*I am totally freaked out! I try not to dwell on these things, but it is all
up in my face! I pray often that I live long to be here for my children, is
that so wrong?Do other people do that? Or is it just the normal worries of
every parent?*
Sorry, I'm still making fun of the guy who ad libs every sentence
with, "and stuff like that"... I find it so distracting, "and all and
everything", sometimes you want to shake him, "and all"; and say STOP
IT "and stuff like that,and all"...LOL
Ok, got it out my system.
I hope this blog finds all of you doing well. I am running on about 3
hours sleep. Carson kept having a bad dream last night and I could not
sleep listening to him snub in the baby monitor. So I kept waking him
up, and then he would go directly back into the dream and start sleep
crying. It was pitiful, all of the commotion woke Jameson up and we
then did about a 5 hour session of musical beds....Fun times, "and all
and everything"...
We have family pictures tomorrow. I'll post them as soon as they are
ready. I don't like to smile very much for pictures because I have yet
to hold the fundraiser for the $5,000+ dental work that would make me
less self conscious about my grill, so I can only imagine how stone
faced I'm going to appear."stuff like that"
My mother gave me a total guilt trip because I have not taken Carson
for "formal" pictures yet. I know, slap me, I'm a bad mother. Jameson
went about once a month when he was born and poor Carson has not had a
session yet. That is totally the second child syndrome and I was a
tried and true sufferer of that as a little girl, but I was even worse
than that, I was the MIDDLE CHILD of 4!!! So I really was the reject.
There is so much I could vent about but I'll stop for now.
Paste this in your browser, I love this song.. HA!
GO SOX!

I posted below but I forgot to say this,
I see someone everyday that ends every sentence with one or the other
sayings:
"and all"
"and everything"
"stuff like that"
or my favorite:
"and all and everything and stuff like that"
LOL, it is so distracting.... HA!
Well, I will only say this, as not to jinx my team, but we've made it to the
World Series! YIPPIE! I'm like a ten year old boy this week....all
superstitious with a Sox Shrine set up and everything :)
The other night, we had a MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH with Carson. Now to those
mothers of well-behaved children, just skip this paragraph, because you
wouldn't understand, I am the mother of an 8 year old smart mouthing, sassy
little boy, and he has been that way since he turned two. There is no
punishment or discipline that works for Jameson. No Super Nanny time outs,
no spanking, no restriction, nothing makes him stop talking back. Those
pictures of him can be deceitful! I love that boy with every bit of my
heart, but Jameson back talks me about 5 times a day, and no punishment
stops him, he just has to make his point (he got that from me). Now I tell
you that to say this,,, the other night Carson was throwing a pure fit. Yes,
the first full fledged temper fit in my arms, scratching, hitting, pulling
away etc... So, I calmly took his little hands, held them together and in a
firm (not screaming) but very firm voice said "no sir, you do not hit
mommy"......that child's bottom lip curled all the way over almost to his
toes and he burst out into sobbing tears and hugged me for like 10 minutes
as if to say, "I'm so sorry momma".....It broke my heart, but it meant one
thing, HE UNDERSTOOD THAT MOMMY DIDN'T WANT HIM TO DO THAT, I was shocked!!!
I've never in 8 years had a reaction like that from Jameson, so all I can
say is, WOW, I've got one that may be more sensitive when it comes to
discipline... The future is currently looking bright!
Now, please don't think I'm comparing (I'm the middle of 4 children so I
know how devastating comparing is) but it is soooo true how different two
children are! Carson will be the brat of the family (like his daddy) LOL
Ok, go ahead and judge me, I had to make my confessions...
I just read over the drunken blog I did last night, and I really thought I
did a shout out to Carrie. Sorry, I dont know where it went! Eryk is sooooo
stinkin cute. I have got to get Carson another seat. His poor little feet
are hanging out of his seat now....
That is all you get, no apologies, I've been so freakin busy that I've had
no time to post. But I've spent the last hour reading and catching up and
all of you guys seem to have slacked off some too, so I dont feel too bad.
Updates:
Hubby: turned 30 this week. I threw him a big party that of which he was
hugging "johnny" at 11:30 which left me babysitting the crowd and being very
sober for most of the party. We're such light weights now, we never
drink....
Jameson: TURNS 8 on Monday, have a party planned for Sunday. Where have the
last 8 years gone? I know I'm getting old, saying such things, but my baby
boy is growing up. He is the little star of his fall baseball team, and it
makes me so proud as I have absolutely no athletic ability... He is getting
a digital camera and a bunch of clothes for his b day. The kid is such the
fashion gu-ru (SP?) but he picked out some awesome gear for his wardrobe
(makes momma proud)...
Carson: where do I start? 4 teeth....all over the place crawling....cant sit
him anywhere for a second.....he wants to walk, but I think it will be a few
months before he takes those first steps. Teething is a bitch.
Me: Wondering what happened to my period. No, not preggers, but I've had a
period every month until the last 2!! Took a few preggers tests, but they
were negative and it got me and hubs wondering if we really would like to
have another. We'd have a house full if those buggers weren't so doggone
expensive. Guys, I'm really considering it. What do you think? In this day
and age, are 3 children really the new 6? Is it that strange to want a 3rd
child? I really want another baby. Especially after seeing Katie's belly (so
cute I might ad).....People in my family would FREAK out, why in the hell
does that bother me???????
(skip this paragraph if you dont like baseball) My Sox are doing good in the
ALCS,,,,right now 10-1 over Cleveland. Those of you who dont know this, hubs
1st cousin, Trot Nixon, played for Boston for 11 years (very admirable for
the major leagues). We love him so much, but last year he went to Cleveland.
Ok so we pull for him, but when they play Boston, we pull for Boston, we got
so hooked when he was with Boston. Now they are playing for the AL
championship and our home is so confused. We want to see him do well, but we
want our Sox to go back to the World Series, again....sorry, I know this is
boring, but we are a baseball family. I love Boston....I hope they go play
the Rockies in the WS... ok I'll stop with the baseball. We're in game 6
tonight (hence, why I'm so talkative, I'm drinking wine) so shoot me...
I watched a strange movie last night that I highly recommend, Knocked
Up....really funny, some drug humor, but such a real story line. really bad
acting, but I loved the movie, it was cute and funny at times..
Work is hectic as ever but I'm loving it.
Congrats to Katie with the "its a boy" news....looks like we're the blogger
mom's of boys crew. Hey, Nikki, I got an idea, lets get preggers and go
through all of it together. Hey, dont listen to me, it is the wine talking
:) E, Evan is such a cutie....wow he is growing so fast...all boy....Ky I
want to see some pics of LB sometime.
Ok, I'll get back to the game, just wanted to say hello and give my shout
outs, I'll try not to be such a stranger.
Take Care People!
