Ginger Ale, Tea, Soup and a warm blanket!

The essentials for being sick. Very convinced I have the stomach flu! TMI but I cant stop pooping water, my tummy hurts so bad, when I love i get very dizzy and nauseous. The smell of food makes me run to the bathroom. Even water at times is hard to keep down. So its been tea, and chicken noodle soup today. I am praying I just have what Addy had yesterday and it only last till morning. I have so much to get done tomorrow considering I have a sale to get to tomorrow as its the last day. Alix really wants a race track for his birthday and Toys r Us has it on sale till tomorrow. So I need to hit up there and Micheals tomorrow for yarn. Have a bunch of Christmas presents to get done!

November 30 Days of Thanks catch up!

So I have been insane busy and thing have been a bit much lately in this house but I am here to get caught up on my 30 Days of thanks that I am so behind on .... I know, I know bad me, but that the life of a mom of 3 and wife to one pain in the ass!

So here it goes

November 12, 2014
Cable, need I say more I am a mom of 3, cable is a necessity in this house. Ok so yes I know its not a life or death need, but it is defiantly a need. I dont know how people that have kids go with out it. My sanity some days depends on it. Also I need my TVD, The Originals, Criminal Minds, ONCE, and Walking Dead fix once a week lol!! 

November 13, 2014
For the fact that my MIL took the time to teach me the basics of crocheting. With that I have found something that I love to do. Keeos my mind busy on the days where I just cant seem to controll my thoughts, and it is something that I can pass down to my children. I didnt realy do much with it when she was still alive, but once she passed it was something that I def felt that I needed to start on again. Every time a baby was born she would make a blanket set, something I am know doing to keep her memory alive, not that we could possible forget her but its something to remember her by, 

November 14, 2014

I am thankful for Them All

Please dont forget to take a second oput of your day to give thanks to the people that have died fighting for your freedom and the their family's that have also given so much for your freedom. Give thanks to the ones still fighting and again their family's, We should also take the time to thank the animals that have and still do serve us as well!!

Canada and the freedom we have to be who we are and live how we choose, to the men woman that made it so we can be free. Stop and thank a solider as much as you can today. Show the older generation that we are not ignorant to what they have and continue to do for us!!

I am thankful for my mom and the things she does for her family. She turned 50 today and def does not look it ! We have had many ups and downs, but I love her no matter what. 

I am thankful for my mother in law (passed 5 years ago today) that gave life to her amazing son, with out her I would not be where I am today with a man that I love to pieces and 3 amazing children. With out these to ladies my life would not be what it is today. and tho I may not be exactly where I want to be I know with there support I will get there!!

I am thankful for a  build it and fix it kinda hubby!

 Really didnt want to have to get a new tree this year as I love my tree and the shape of it. Its not ur typical sad looking tree. Has the actual shape of a pine tree and I love it lol . So he created a new stand for it and its in the shape of a box, so we are wrapping it to look like a present. Love him!!!

I am thankful for my kids teachers this year. Alix's teacher does so well with him and im amazed. She is patient  on his not so calm days. She takes the time to talk to me after school if he has had not such a great day,. She encourages him when he is doing great. The hole school is working with him this year to get him the help he is needing, they are understanding that he just can't help himself sometimes and they are working with him to get him in a good schedule, as they have noticed that he is in need of a solid schedule.

  Kays teacher is all about communication and making sure im up to date with progresses and other thing her teacher last year never did. I have seen a tremendous change and improvement in Kays behaviour at school, and her learning, especially spelling and math. We are still working on the reading but that to has also improved as well.

My first born, even on my worst days she has that power to make me smile.So unbelievable proud of this little girl. She was recognized at school today for stopping a class mate from being bullied by an older kid. She not only stood up to him but also reported it to the principle!! Never have I been prouder!!

Books!

So thankful that I have the ability to read and just lose myself in a book. Get away from my own reality even just for a short time. 

I am currently ready the Blood lines series by Rachelle Mead

Currently reading book 5 - Silver Shadow

I would seriously suggest reading them if you enjoyed the Vampire Academy series

This is Sydney's story after the fact ... many of the characters from VA are in this book as well. Many twists I definitely did not expect!

November 5, 2014

Dentist ... weird I know but I am thankful for my dentist. She is amazing with my kids and super nice. Def recommend her to anyone with hyper active children.

Dr. Ingred Thie at 390 commissioners. If your needing a dentist I recommend her. Tell her I sent you and I earn points towards a free cleaning!!

November 4, 2014

November 3, 2014 10 Years Strong!

I feel like this post from 2 years ago sums it up nicely. Replace the 8 with a 10!! 

November 2, 2014 Family

Today I am thankful for my Family.

 Blood and none blood, does not matter to me, your all the same in my heart.

 For everything they have and continue to do for me. For the love and support thro out the years even when I have not deserved it. For patience with me and my stubborn ways. For helping me thro my weakest moments and toughest times. For the kick in the ass's that I have absolutely needed along the way. Things have not always been the way they should have been. They certainly did not turn out how they should have either and we have been thro pain and lose, but with that I know that some day it will make us stronger as a unit. 

My life would not be the same with out my mom, sister and brother. We have not always been together but I can always hope that one day we can unit as a family again.

The Mulhollands/Williams, they may not be blood but they were the only family I knew growing up and even tho we have drifted thro the years they will always be a big part of who I am. 

The Parsons, Kevin Sarah and Ryan, they are the family that I have adopted, a dad I never had, and one that treats my mom right and keeps her together even when she wants to give up, that has helped me thro the years with issues I just couldn't understand. He drives me crazy at times, lets be honest lol

A brother and sister, that could never substitute the longing I had for my bio siblings but filled just enough of that void to make it thro the years I spent with out them. 

The Hawerchuks/Lindfields/Armstrongs, the family that took me in to there unit and made me one of them. My in laws. The large crazy, messed up, disfunctional but amazingly loving family that I could not see a day in my life with out. They make life that much interesting and there is never a dull moment and I am proud to call them min!

My Foster family, a foster mom that never gave up, picked me up and taught me to live again. She loved unconditional, laughed with her hole heart and shapped me into the woman that I am today. My foster sisters, a never ending bond that I am forever great full for. Where I met my best friend/sister a person I know 100% has my back no matter what, that has been thro hell and back with me and stuck by me the hole way. 

But most importantly what they all have in comon, I love them for every thing they have brought in my life and the things they continue to bring into my life!
