Kids

Mine certainly take after me. Today, we have had many bumps and bruises. If I didn't know better I would think that I beat her.

Just today, Em, hung out the newly installed doggy door. She bonked her lip, on the way in or out. Then she went downstairs to get her drink so that I could refill it for her, Em did summer-saults all the way down my stairs, resulting in a bleeding lip.

Then my daughter ran into the side of my couch, resulting in the other side of her lip bleeding. Well finally it is time for her to go to bed, and she turns around on the stairs, and falls flat on her face on the stair. Nice bloody nose.


I am glad it is bedtime. No more injuries for the night. SIGH!

I will have pictures again soon, but, I haven't taken any since Christmas.

Massage Therapy

Everybody need a nice relaxing massage every once in a while. It has been a long time since I have been able to pamper anyone with a massage. After three long years and few massages in between, I am now up to giving massages again.
I have cleaned out my massage room, bought new oils, and am ready to go. So if you need a massage, call me.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Pictures speak for themselves, sometimes.

Merry Christmas.

Crazy Crazy I was Crazy once, and it never stopped.

Today, I drove about 350 miles give or take one or two. We were finding an address in the middle of nowhere. We finally found the "Damn Road", I don't remember the name, but really, Damn is included. We drove about five miles in, and crossed a set of rail road tracks that looked like they had been built about five hundred years ago. Shortly after the tracks,,, we get to a very dirt road. This would have been nice if I hadn't of been in a car. So we follow it down for about two miles. We come to the Energy station, or something, We cross two very old wooden bridges, while we are gripping our hands to the steering wheel, and the oh shit bar. These bridges would be fine, but, until they make termites the national bug, I will refuse to appreciate them. We got to the other side, and there was a locked gate. So we have to turn around, and go back. Over the two bridges, and tracks, down a steeeeep hill, that had ruts the size of our car. See This is the hill we came down. See the higher ridge, there are no guard rails, just a cliff on the one side of you.

We get to the bottom of the hill, and we have to cross yet another ancient bridge, That is 4 times longer than the previous two. I got out of the car, while having a major panic attack, can see down through the wood, because five hundred years of termites, and wood, you get the picture.

See you can see the spots where they have attempted to patch the wood. Well it looked like if you missed the boards for tires, you would fall through. Not wanting to go over, we drove so slowly, and yeah, we made it. Since i didn't want to go over this bridge again, so we drove for over an hour out of our way, just to avoid the bridge.

Okay, now that Halloween is officially past and over, here is my cutest little lady bug, who wouldn't hold still for pictures. She officially hates Halloween.
This is the only picture I have with the three of us. And probably the only picture I will post that includes me. Because, usually I am the one with the camera.
If you guys have anything you would like me to post about, let me know. I have been crazy busy at work, and trying to clean and dejunk my house. Have a great Thanksgiving.

Random Pictures

Okay, I have been busy, really I have. I have been getting better, YEAH! Slowly. Emily and I made it to the state fair this last week, and um, I forgot my camera. So Sorry you don't get to see any pictures of her petting the calf, piglett, or the sheep, and you don't get to see her riding on the ponies. Sorry. Still she had a lot of fun.

Okay I had to show you this face. I find it quite amusing. Just not when I am feeding her. This is a I DON'T LIKE IT, AND YOU CAN NOT MAKE ME EAT IT look. This makes me frusterated, beyond belief.
Our Family went to the zoo on Saturday, and you will see a lot of pictures of Emily with her dad. This would be Em's first slide ride. She hasn't been outside a lot this year, we have been confined to my house, due to many issues.
This is Emily being a big girl on the big teater totter.
This is the monkey that had turrets. He had this OCD about smiling every other second. Seriously. I didn't get one of him smiling.
Emily would not take her eyes off of the elephants.

By this time, Emily was really tired. She was scared to sit on the carousel, but was a little bit braver with her dad with her.I cannot tell you how much I want turkey day to be here. If only just for the family spending the whole day together. I have to say, I am really glad I have a patient dog. Look at the way these two get along. The dog will come and sit or lay next to Emily, just so Em can maule her. She doesn't mind having her ears pulled, or being slapped, or having her teeth examined. Boy am I lucky.


So now I have to tell you the funny thing Emily did. My mom and I were going to the store, because there is a big case lot sale going on, and I wanted to stock up my food storage. So Emily was sitting in the back seat singing and chatting with herself.

I look back at her and say "Hey Em, how are you doing?"

She looks at me with this serious look and says "SHUT UP".

I turn to my mom and ask, with a funny look on my face, and say "Did she really just tell me this?"

Now how do you explain to a 16 month old, that we do not say shut up, and that we only say shhhh. Ecspecially if all you understand is that she sounds like she is speaking Chinese. I don't know most of the time what she is saying.

Later on my drive home, Em says " Mom"

I said "What"

She says "SHUT UP"

I give up.

UPDATE?

I haven't posted in a while because my life is kinda boring, but that is the way I like it. No Drama. I am posting a few pictures, but I do not have a lot of good ones so enjoy if you would like.

Emily enjoys getting dressed herself these days. Just look at the outfit combo.

Not something I would pick out.

She gets really mad that she cannot have the camera.
Make your own decision.
Enjoying her lunch, no help from mom.
This is the first time I have straightened her hair. I cannot believe how long it is. Usually it is in tight ringletts around the base of her head. Not past her shoulders.

Emily decided that she is definatly my daughter. Notice the lack of clothing in these pictures.
Anyways, sorry but not much to say.

Love ya all.
