cousins

it's been awhile...

well, it's been awhile since i posted. like a month i think. i've just been busy with work and home that blogging is not high on the priority list. i still enjoy reading everyone else's blog but have a hard time updating mine.

but i'm still here. :) working away, taking care of finn in the afternoons and evenings, having small group at my house every tuesday night, trying to coordinate child care everyday(while school is out), taking care of the house, the husband, the child, the dog.... you get the picture. whenever i sit still for longer then 15 minutes i tend to doze off...

watching cars EVERY single day. and watching nothing else but cars. i swear i could literally quote that movie!

here are a few pics. this one i just took of finn napping. i keep his crib mattress under his bed. why? i do not know, but apparently now he likes to pull it out & jump and sleep on that for a change. just as long as he's napping.

here's one of finns grandpop's old hat's. go irish!

and here he is wearing daddy's work boots. so cute. :)

i'll try to do better posting, but i'm not sure who even reads this thing anymore. if you do, let me know, will ya??

so random....

here are a few pics of this past week to share with you..

here's finn sporting mommy's big sunglasses. these are my back up pair so he's allowed to wear them. :)

last weekend we watched my 70 yr old co-worker sky dive. she's crazy! the pilot let finn get in the plane and check it all out.

and these are my new sandals i got this week. this was trying them on right out of the box. all the straps adjust so i'm still working on getting them just right. they are extremely comfortable & i can tell they'll last a long time.

i'm so glad its friday & a long weekend!

we're headed to the pool tomorrow morning with finn's 2 little cousins who are here visiting.

and then monday dan & i are going on an all day kayak trip. i'll be sure to take pics and post.

i've got to do better, but my time just slips away on me......

frustrated...

last night we got a call late from dan's mom. she had passed out at home and had fallen. dan rushed over & took her to the er. before she passed out her heart was pounding/racing, she was dizzy and nauseus. dan stayed with her all night and came home this morning at 6 to sleep. i took finn to the babysitters last night at 11 b/c i had to be at work at 6 this morning. we both got very little sleep. we're tired. we're still not sure what is going on with gail. they're doing lots of tests and we're waiting for the results. shes there tonight as well. when she fell she hit her elbow also and they're still awaiting the results of a ct scan to see is she fractured it or not. last time we got a call in the night dans dad had died. needless to say we're nervous going to bed tonight. sure hope that phone doesn't ring.
we had plans for this weekend. big plans. dan & i were going by ourselves to wv to a wedding that dan is an usher in. we were going to be gone 3 night's/4 days. dans mom was going to keep finn so we could go. we're not going now. and i'm frustrated. something always happens, i told dan we shouldn't plan anything anymore. i just hope and pray dan's mom is okay.
please pray for us & for dan's mom. that they would figure out what happened and that her elbow is not broken.
thanks.

Mobile blogging. Who knew?? I'm trying it out, how do you like it??

long time

long time no blog..

i've been buuussssyyyyy. :)

starting this new job leaves me with not much free time anymore. :(

my days consist of getting up at 5, getting to work anywhere between 6 and 630, depending on the schedule. work. leave around 230 or 3(or later if its my late day), either picking finn up from school, or picking him up from the babysitters, fixing dinner, cleaning, laundry, playing outside, swimming, cleaning, laundry, playing.... you get the picture. :)

we've all been sick. dan very bad. he passed out naked while on the toilet. did a face plant on the tile floor in the bathroom. paramedics came, a FIRETRUCK came. (embarrasing).

spend an entire night in the ER.

lost an entire nights sleep. i don't recommend that at our age.

salmonella poisoning from chick fil a. lovely. i love that place. sigh.....

finns got an ear infection. i've got his cold.

blah blah blah....

i'm not going to keep going.

oh, i forgot the part of driving 6 1/2 hrs on fri to ga.

worn out...

a few fun pictures...

this first picture is for when i can bribe or blackmail finn when he's in highschool... :)

such a cute little bottom too!

finn likes to take his clothes off when playing outside with the pool or water. (he's addicted to

the water hose!), so we've been working on going potty outside. note the big boy underwear on.

i think this is my new favorite pic of him too!

and here he is mowing the patio. :) he really is such a hard little worker...

well, that was our saturday in a nutshell...

he's already asleep b/c he wouldn't settle down at naptime today.

he went 90 to nothing all day long. nonstop. he's like this ALL the time. even at bed time now. it is WEARING me out.

all week i maybe had 6 hrs of sleep a night. i can handle that.

but i'm back to getting up EARLY every morning now & after 2 weeks of not much sleep it's catching up to me... i'm EXHAUSTED..

not seeing dan anymore is getting tough again. we see each other sat & sunday, that's it.

it's hard. we're used to it. but it's still hard.

ok, enough. i made a pot of decaf & me & the husband are going to sit out back & enjoy.

good night!
