Life has been a bit crazed lately

2011-04-04T22:57:00.000-05:00

So lots of new things have happened since I have written to you all. I moved, had a ton of medical problems with myself and my oldest son, and so many other crazy things. First I am scared out of my mind trying to not show it in front of my family and my kids. My oldest son has been showing signs that he has been having seizures. Luckily he did it while we were in the doctors office which is rare to happen, usually the kid is fine once we get to the doctor or wont do whatever it is you try to tell the doctor he is doing. Well back to what he does, he zones out completely and goes cross-eyed at the same time, he is also showing signs of colorblindness and ADD. If any of your kids have these symptoms would you let me know what you have found out about it? He has an EEG and a eye doctor appointment set but of course they make them over a month away.
Another medical craziness that scares me, again it is about my older son. He was WALKING being a good listener which is weird for him and then splat he slips and slams his face into the cement by the pool. His mouth was bleeding huge disaster my poor baby had a huge scrape on his chin but then his front tooth started turning grey so I took him to the doctor and they said it is normal for a kid who has an injury like that but made him a dentist appointment, which is also over a month away, but said there wont be anything he can really do for it but to get him checked out anyways. Well I just feel terrible that he has to have a grey tooth until it falls out for his adult teeth. Again if any of you have been through that as well please let me know and calm my nerves.

I am back! Yamaclaus

2011-04-03T11:50:00.001-05:00

I just received an order for yamaclauses and started making them again! I am very excited about this! I am cranking them out but i am sorry the prices for the fabric has gone up to i have to raise the price to $5.00 each which is not a huge price.You can purchase them on my Etsy account http://www.etsy.com/people/YamaclausPrincess?ref=si_pr
But if you have a special order (I can do them in other colors and I also make an elf version) feel free to email me at airplanes_inthenightsky@yahoo.com also if you would like a large order email me first to make sure I have enough time to make them.

advice

2010-08-24T12:27:00.000-05:00

Why is it people seem to want to fix everyone else's lives while their own is a mess! Why should people listen to your advice when it isnt even good enough for you? I am all for getting wise council from people who admit their lives are not perfect and are not accusing but caring. I mean if someone comes up to give you marriage advice who has been married 5 times I dont think you should take it. :-)

live... laugh... love

2010-08-05T15:16:00.000-05:00

life has taken a turn for bad... but i have to choose to live laugh and love. As now i am a single mom of two kids and my bank account keeps getting drained before i can get to the bank... i literally have nothing. but i think it is in the broken times that you find who you truly are. Yes i break down and cry and i think that is healthy and ok. I cannot pretend that life is peachy but i can choose to live in joy and choose to laugh at all of the situations in life that i can. I am not sitting around and moping i am finding things to fill my time and people to surround myself with. I have two beautiful boys that make me so happy and they love me unconditionally and i love eternally. I have learned who my true friends are through the situation as well. They called the cops for me 2 times to make sure i was safe and have surrounded me with protection. i do not want to get too in depth into what is going on but it is very bad and hard and trust me i am very proud of myself (as bad as that sounds) for how i have handled everything in this!

sorry it has been a while

2010-07-07T15:06:00.000-05:00

life has gotten a bit rough but i am a fighter and i will survive! A lot of crud has gone down the last few days and lets just say there is no man living in my house right now. I have amazing neighbors and friends that are helping me and showing me tons of love and support. More then half of the friends left today to go out to sea! (as you know i live in navy housing) If any of you are reading this i miss you all and cant wait for you to get back and have a kick butt party for you all when you come home. Emotions keep flying past me and i cant seem to be able to be able to read them. i think i need some time to figure things out... like how the rest of my life is going to look. i have a lot of choices but the path i was on is NOT the one i want for the rest of my life. Pray i find the right path..

What would you do?

2010-06-17T11:20:00.000-05:00

If you came home at 6:00 in the morning and your kids were playing in the street ALONE (1 and 2 years old) Well that is what happened to me a couple days ago.... I had a babysitter watching them from 5:20 am to a little after 6:00am. The babysitter was sleeping when I went inside and my oldest son (2 and a half) had gone upstairs and gotten my youngest out of his bed (i know because the light was on and the door was open which my one year old can not do. Also the babygates were all torn down (all 3 of them) which only my oldest can do went down to the garage opened the door (which is really loud) and went outside. They also freak out when they wake up so i know they were crying. How the babysitter did not wake up to any of that is beyond me!
Well needless to say i was TERRIFIED! they could have been hit by a car, abducted, CPS could have been called.
I went and talked to my neighbors and asked if they saw them outside and one said he left for work at 6am and they were not out there at that time so it had to of only been a few minutes that they were out there but that is still scary that she didnt hear it and things can happen in the blink of an eye!

Brother Julian

2010-05-26T10:38:00.000-05:00

My oldest sibling! he is a year and nine months older than me. His the kind of guy that when he says something it is usually funny because he said it! He is a great road trip buddy because he isnt obnoxious and has a good taste in music (and he let me play beauty and the beast, be our guest, until we had it memorized) We drove from San Diego, California to Pensacola, Florida together in 3 days and we had a blast!!!! He protected me when we were in New Orleans from the crazies and he drove when I got tired, and he made me eat when i drank too much... (he is single, any takers? hehe)
He has lots of friends and loves to have a good time! He has an interesting taste in movies and TV shows and has an encyclopedia of movie quotes in his noggin and usually wins any games having to do with such.

He has been working the same job for 7 years and is 22 that is pretty darn good! He loves to snowboard and is getting pretty good at it!
The Picture on the right is us in Mexico when i was 17 (i am not in the pic) and the worker took my beer away and gave it to Julian so he was double fisting the beers :)
He doesnt know how to show excitement very well but he does get excited! He has his own inner way of showing it and you know that he is happy about things but he is a generally happy person and a joy to be around!

I LOVE YOU JULIAN!

Sister Jessica!

2010-05-25T15:49:00.001-05:00

She is so amazing! She is caring and love to take care of the underdog. Someday she will make an amazing mother (even if it is just to snakes) -inside joke!!
She moved out and made it on her own at a young age, she is beautiful and intelligent and great with people. She and I have had some fun times together!
The picture to the left is when we got LOCKED in our room on the Mexico cruise for about 12 hours!!! We didnt care until the morning because we thought the door was just sticking but the dead bolt got STUCK in the door and they had to take the whole door off the hinges to get us out! So we spent 1/3 of our cruise stuck in our room lol while I tried to calm everyone down outside and inside our room! lol but I am glad it was her i was locked away with!
We also went to school together and my sister Jessica LOVES to jump in puddles! One day after dance class she was jumping in puddles in her ballet slippers. When my mom asked her why she said, "I didnt want to get my chucks dirty!" She always knows how to make a room smile! I LOVE HER!
One time we went to 6 Flags and she had hurt her knee beforehand and i had to push her in a wheelchair all over the place! (at least we got to go on Goliath a bazillion times) :) She is a charmer and an all around awesome person! If you are looking for a friend that will not stab your back she is the most loyal friend you can have! :)

I LOVE YOU JESSICA!

Brother Chris

2010-05-25T11:49:00.000-05:00

I am going to write a blog about each of my siblings just because i love them!

Chris is my only FULL biological sibling! The above picture is from 6 years ago! He is a very honest and caring! When we were younger he was a bit of a booger but now we get along VERY well! We are 21 months apart (i am older)
He works on a TV show in the film department in a HUGE show called "Quilt in a Day" YEAH! :) He is going to college right now and is REALLY good at filming and editing and getting really good at acting! I am very proud of him!
He has a really sweet girlfriend who i love and they better get married because i dont think another Sister in Law can compare! :) the picture to the left is of them! AWWW!
We have had many ups and downs but he is still there and i love him TONS! :)

Technology!

2010-05-24T09:28:00.000-05:00

Is technology becoming ridiculous!? Are we creating needs unintentionally! Who really needs the IPad right now? I can bet you we will create a need for it and soon people will not be able to live without it! We did that with radio, then casset tapes, then CD's and then MP3 Players also with Plays, to Radio, to TV, to VHS to DVD to DVR to (blue ray maybe... hasnt really caught on yet) There are so many other things as well. What is next? What will we need?

Why is it so hard!?

2010-05-11T19:33:00.000-05:00

Why is it so hard for me to take a day to myself and not feel the need to be productive! I feel guilty even thinking about asking for someone to watch my kids without a reason, "i just need alone time" is so hard to get out. Well i finally did it and my mom watched my little ones for a whole day for me! I got to watch TV (the shows i wanted to watch ) Go to the grocery store childless, do a pole aerobics lesson, go to Lowes with a friend. It was nice! I highly recommend taking some me time.THANK YOU MOM

Mother's Day

2010-05-10T14:21:00.000-05:00

I had a GREAT Mother's Day surrounded by family and friends! I really hope you all did as well!
It is so important to remind all of the mothers in your life that they are here for a reason and are doing a great job and motivate them, not just for one day but every day! (of course this is if they are truly doing a good job)
Life throws a lot of curve balls our way and we need the reminders!

Food Revolution

2010-04-24T18:18:00.000-05:00

I think the show is shedding some VERY MUCH NEEDED light on the subject. Childhood obesity and diabetes rates are SKY HIGH we need to be so much more cautious about what we are feeding out children and ourselves. Weight is not genetic.... why then are the children who are overweight have overweight parents? Children learn from watching us and by us taking the easy way out and handing them an unhealthy salty snack we are teaching them to crave salty things as snacks. There are so many options out there that are easy and cheap that are so much healthier. For example; raisins, unsalted trail mix (or making your own), natural granola bars, fruit leathers, berries, fruit, fiber bars, lunch meat, cheese.
Another HUGE problem is potion control and a way to minimize this is if you know there is extra food put it away and in the fridge before you serve dinner, accept the veggies they can eat their fill of those. you don't need to cut out any food groups as a diet just learn how to eat it in the best possible way and the correct amount. We all know about the food pyramid but do we ever use it?
I hope this helps someone and if you have any suggestions or comments feel free to post away!

High Heels of Little Girls?

2010-04-09T16:18:00.000-05:00

is it wrong to put high heals on little girls. The media has eaten up that celebs are putting their little girls in matching styles as themselves all the way down to the high heels they are wearing.
I believe wearing high heels is a right of passage into being a young woman. But after seeing what they do to women's feet (bunions, deformities, injuries) why would you want to start this at a younger age. Do i think that you are a bad mom for letting your little girl wear heels? No i do not but i dont think it is the smartest choice.
What do you think?

The Bright Side

2010-04-02T21:38:00.000-05:00

When you are stuck in a situation that you cannot change why dwell in all of the negativity? As of today i am making a vow to you as my readers and to my family to look at the bright side of situations. Of course there is a time to mourn and a time to be sad or angry but i am talking about after that, do not stay there. Look for the beauty and the lighter things in life and talk to people and surround yourself with people that are positive

Work Out

2010-03-28T21:26:00.000-05:00

there are so many things we can do in our free time and throughout the day that can make us healthier. I step on every step twice in my house so that i do a little extra, I do standing crunched while waiting for my food to cook. I use my coffee table for elevated crunches. Park in the furthest parking spots to get more walking in, Just make it a habit! There is no excuse for not doing something to take care of your body.
Do at least 30 min of cardio 3 times a week to make your workouts more effective and stretch after your workouts.

Life Should Be FUN!

2010-03-26T11:08:00.000-05:00

Have fun with your family! Go places that you have always wanted to and make adventures out of everything ! If you get lost make it fun, explore where you are and make jokes about it! Don't be afraid to act like a kid when out and about. You get one life, so live it to the fullest!
I want people to remember me as fun, caring, a great listener, and loving.

Now of course you need to be able to discern the right time from the wrong when it comes to having fun and not taking things to seriously. There are many situations that will come up in every one's life that are very serious and friends that need someone to just listen and be there. I am talking about every day life and little bombs that go off in life, from being lost to tripping and falling.
I make my house kid friendly so there arent very many no's here because there are enough no's when we go out and about so we can just have fun. I make jokes when i change their diapers (boppers) I splash with them in the bath tub, I dance with them daily, I make fun snacks for them and non of this makes you a super parent but it takes so much stress off of your shoulders and helps you actually LIVE LONGER and be a much more liked person.
Your homework- when one of those little bombs goes off in your life (whether you burn dinner or someone cuts you off on the freeway) make light of it, laugh about it. You are alive and well and you have dinner to burn or a car to be cut off. Find the good things in life!

Yellow Sun Glasses

2010-03-25T18:52:00.000-05:00

Some say i do not have mommy style, I wear funky colors and strange clothes every day. Here are some examples of my EVERYDAY clothes and i love every minute of it!

I love the converse i cried when they became unwearable.

Johna Feets, Johna Feets, Do the beats, with your Johna Feets!

My footsie PJ's (they glow in the dark!)

My Yellow Sun Glasses! <3

One of my favorite shirts (that i am wearing right now) that i made for the Pirates of the Caribbean midnight showing as seen in the next picture which i am pregnant in! :)

I have so many other outfits and items that people say are not grown up but i think you should wear what you want and think looks good to you! If you want to wear polka dots and stripes GO FOR IT! If you are a good person and a wonderful mother it shouldnt matter what you are wearing on the outside (as long as it isnt vulger) then it is FINE! and all the power to you girl!

Pole Aerobics

2010-03-22T21:05:00.000-05:00

I did my certification class for pole aerobics this weekend and it was quite a workout! let me tell you! I see a fun future ahead of me! I was so sore after 8 hours of working out! It was intense but GREAT! I will have my website up soon with pricing and appointment times that are available! but it is an amazing way to work out, have fun, and feel sexy!

Man Steals Money From Girl Scout!?

2010-03-19T12:26:00.000-05:00

This guy stole over 400 dollars from a girl scout who was selling cookies! What kind of person does thing! yes it is nice that someone gave her the amount she lost plus bought cookies for the troops and she was given a bunch of prizes, but that DOES NOT excuse the evil person who did this! I was a girl scout and i would sell cookies like crazy and get so excited for every sale, even though none of it went to me, but if someone steals something that comes out of the girl scout. She owes that money to the charity. The man who stole the money was cruel and it shows the evil in this world.
It is sad that women have to hide their diaper bags because of thieves and cant feel safe with their children playing right outside their homes and it is because of people like him!
i am sorry but this makes me really sad and mad!

Work to live or live to work

2010-03-17T19:54:00.000-05:00

I sometimes find myself going through the motions to get to the next day just to start the same thing over again. there are always things you can do whether you are a stay at home mom or a workaholic to make your day not only productive but fun.
If you are a stay at home mom make games out of the tasks whether it is changing a diaper or picking up toys. Say funny things and make jokes out of it and it will make the task less routine and mundane. I try to sing and joke around while doing the chores to instill in my children that chores are not something to be hated but something you have to do so you may as well make it fun. Sometimes you do need to get things done fast and there is a time to not make it a game and make sure to let your children understand that but life is also not about a list that needs to get done either.
If you are working fill the workplace with joy and fun things to look at. Make conversation and friends in the office and if you are the boss make fun outings and activities to get to know the people working for you and so they can get to know each other. Life is so much better on everyone when they feel like the management cares and listens to their concerns.
Just have fun with life. It is ours to live so lets stop going through the motions and start LIVING!

Kids Say The Darndest Things

2010-03-16T12:41:00.000-05:00

My oldest son says the funniest thins! he is 2 and a half and the things that come out of his mind shock me everyday! we were praying at the dinner table and for the first time he wanted to pray without help. he starts "Dear Beasty Jesus, family, friend, baby Liam, food, AMEN!" oh my gosh i was cracking up! First of all i dont say "dear baby Jesus" when i start i just say "dear Jesus" and second BEASTY is that what he thinks they are saying at church? haha oh my gosh i couldnt stop laughing! everything has been a "beast" lately, and they are not a scary thing for him so i dont know what they are to him.
Also he started saying Crap and Damn it! UHOH! I when we are driving a person in another car does something dumb he says "FRICKIT CAR!" thats all on daddy! but oh gosh kids repeat EVERYTHING! i have to watch my damn it's and daddy needs to watch most everything he says! lol
do you have any funny stories about your kids and things they say!?

Just Friends

2010-03-15T19:02:00.000-05:00

When you break up usually one does not want to and throwing out the "friend" card does not help that other person. Usually they need a CLEAN break in order to move on. it may hurt them more in the short term but in my opinion it is takes so much longer to get over that person (if ever.) There are certain people who can make the friendship work but most of the time one (or both) hate seeing the other person with someone else even if they dont "want" them for themselves. It usually is not a very healthy relationship especially if sex was involved. It also isnt fair to your future partners to have that person sticking around and you are usually to attached at that point to get "rid" of the friendship.

What are your thoughts on the subject?
any horror stories or good stories about this?
