So why is it that my life seems to be more interesting when I don’t have a lot of people to share it with? Maybe now that I’m back on facebook, things will slow down! LOL
The past few weeks have been pretty much non-stop. For starters, Shannon’s grandfather passed away. We were very sad to see him go, but also relieved that he is no longer in pain. He had spent the last month and a half of his life in the hospital alternating between being knocked out unconscious, awake and saying random confusing stuff, and being perfectly fine. The emotional rollercoaster for the family was horrible. BUT he is in a better place, perfectly whole, no longer in pain, and happy. God is good. <3
On a lighter note, the charger cord on my laptop caught fire and burnt in two. No, really. When I say “fire” I literally mean smoke and flame. And all this happened while my laptop was sitting in my lap. So needless to say, I was pretty shocked about that. I spent about a week waiting for my new charger cord to come in. It was probably the longest week of my life. I had given up Facebook, not the computer in general, so I had to find alternate ways of entertaining myself. (Unless I was able to sneak onto Shannon’s computer while he wasn’t looking. Shhhh! Don’t tell anyone!)
Another great thing that happened was that I decided to start up my PartyLite business again! So if any of you need some great candles (or warmers, or reed diffusers, or air sprays, or….) feel free to hit up my website (www.partylite.biz/kayrule) or give me a call/text/Facebook message and I’ll see what I can do for you! (Btw, PartyLite has, by far, the best Hostess rewards of any direct-sales company I’ve seen, so if you’re interested in free stuff be sure to let me know!)
And something I’m bummed about…4 babies were born while I was MIA from the Facebook world! While I’m sooo excited about this, it really sucked that I had to wait to see pictures! Haha! Especially when 2 of those babies were family!
Speaking of family, a huge praise that Shannon’s grandmother, who was also in the hospital, was finally able to come home!!! She spent 43 days in the hospital with everything from a broken foot, to discovering she is diabetic. It’s been a long, hard road for her and we’re all glad to see her come home.
Speaking of family again… Ryger has informed me that he wants a sister! And brings it up quite often. "Mommy, where's my sister?" "Mommy, I have a bubba...I need a sister!" Uhm…let’s wait on that a bit, kiddo. LOL
One thing that I love….Braylen turned 11 months old….and started WALKING full time! He went from maybe taking 2 steps to walking all over the house in the space of about 3 days. It’s like he just decided one day that he’s tired of crawling. He’s so cute.
We took Ryger and Braylen to see the circus! Braylen didn’t pay it much mind, but he got his first taste of cotton candy! The look on his face was priceless. I don’t think he cared for it much. Ryger, on the other hand, ate half a bag of the fluffy stuff all by himself! He kept asking where the “upalents” were and when the elephants finally showed up he could hardly contain himself. He loved the clowns, too. (My favorite part was the big, white lion! He was gorgeous!) We will definitely take the kids back the next time we get a chance. Maybe by then, Braylen will be big enough to enjoy it.
It was time to register Ryger for preschool. OMG what happened to my baby? :'( He suddenly looks like a little boy instead of a baby! I really miss those days of holding him when he fit right into the bend of my arm. But then I look at the sweet little boy he’s become… He’s just precious. He did really well on the preschool evaluation and impressed the teachers with his vocabulary. YAY!
Oh! And how could I forget Ryger quotes?
Me: “Ryger, tell Bubba you’re sorry for knocking him down.”
Ryger: “I already did!”
Me: *thinking, I didn’t hear him say it….* “Well, I’m not sure if Bubba heard you. Can you tell him again so he can hear you say it?
Ryger; “He did hear me! I was in the bathroom and said “I sorry bubba!” and Bubba said, “AHHH!!!”
Me: *tries to cover laughter*
Shannon: “I think someone….*looks at Ryger* …needs a B-A-T-H tonight.”
Ryger: “Yeah, ME!”
Me and Shannon: “Uhhh….”
Ryger: “Cows go doo-doo so they have room to eat more food!”
(Well, yeah…but where on earth does this child come up with this stuff?)
Ryger: “I’m the boss, Mommy! Daddy said so!”
(For anyone who doesn’t know, Shannon usually refers to Ryger as “The Boss.” I think it’s time to stop doing that…lol)
So that was my crazy, wonderful life these past few weeks. Yay!
