Yaaawwwnnnn!!!!

This Mommy can not get it together this week. Don't know if i am just having a little fibromyalgia flare up with a side of narcolepsy, or what. Gosh I'm a mess. A freakish mess!! lol  

Been so busy lately. Since we have gotten back from our trip from California, it has been nothing but running. Doctor's appointment for the boys, job training with two different companies. So running here to sign stuff and back and forth. Online training.... ufta! Plus just trying to do all my mommy stuff along with the housewife stuff. N-E-who! 

What is on the agenda for today. Well I have decided to buy my man a meat smoker with his bonus. lol Isn't that nice of me. ;) Well since the friendship divorce that happened this past 6 months, it is just one of the things we lost along with all that drama. Urggg!!!! (#@&*&*@#!!!) That is what I think of that. So anyway I found one at Sam's club for a good deal. So we are back in business, people. Yeah!!! Good stuff, can't wait! So i am going to get my creaky bones up and going and will hopefully get back to blogging better than I have been. Lots to fill you in on. ;)

Hmmmmmm........

To go or not to go.? 

I want to go but I have sooooo much to do. And urrrrggg the boys have been little boogers this morning. Do I reward them and go , or punish myself and not go. I don't want to be the grown up anymore. And yah know what?....... I want a raise. This job requires a little more compensation than what this mama is gettin.  Just saying.........

Anywho.....some of you know how much I love Disney, so that could just seal the deal. So once Joshie is back from Lowe's, I think this Mama is gonna go and recharge herself with some yummy coffee with Mrs. Taylor and then take the boys to a princess movie. lol  

Hey it's all good. ;)

My Toothless Wonder!

Oh Mr. Hayden........my little toothless wonder. 

Getting so grown up. My sweet , sweet boy. Mommy has been a little emotional about you mister, mister this week. Watching him grow and thrive as well as he does is such a blessing! He is putting the Awesome in Autism.

So what has triggered all these mommy emotions?

1-No front teeth. Love it...so goofy and adorable. 

2- Watching him with his new cousin, Bailey.

3-Him getting his first grown up suit. He looked all spiffy and grown up. (will have to take pictures)

4-Last but not least, Hayden got 8 stitches last night in his little arm. (not the son I thought would be getting stitches first) ;)  

He was helping Daddy last night working on the house and his cut his arm on a new hammer. He was so brave and sweet. Big ole' teared filled eyes, holding in together more than I would have/did. He was a rockstar in the ER . Let the nurses and Dr. help fix his big owie. Didn't even cry after the first intital big moment at home. 

I remember not even being able to walk into a Dr.'s office without him freaking out, trying to climb the walls if it meant he could leave, total meltdown even if a nurse came close to him. Was insane.  And he was only an toddler. 

What a contrast. Handled himself so well. I would of never thought or imagined that we could of done this. Shows you to never become defeated! Life can and will beat you down ,but just keep plugging  away and you could just be surprised every now and then.  Who would of thought stitches could be sooo meaningful? Go figure.....like I say  ..... no really, it's complicated. ;)

Oh sigh..........

Well it has been a week back in the real life of the Hatzell's.  

Bleck!

Snow and rain and snow and appointments and more appointments and then errands. Oh and now not only am I a mommy of two busy boys, I now have two little jobs. Eeeeks!  My plate has become a platter. Things are tight, so we do what we need to do. Taylor and I working on some "Brother Rules" to manage the boys' behaviour together, to become nicer and more manageable. I am overwhelmed! But I know that it is needed,no really I do. Everything has to start with a plan.  Aghhhh ......why do they give me such grief sometimes?!  I know that they are sweet little boys, that work really hard. But they are ornery little buggers. Parents always get the horrible behaviour more than others. You know what I think about that!? NOT FAIR!!! I want my four yr. old tantrum turn, to lay on the floor and whine and cry. Ha Haa can you imagine? Hey maybe I will do this in front of the boys to show them how ridiculous it is. lol  Oh the joys of parenting. Ufta!! What can I say.......Thanks Taylor for being patient with this crazy little mama.

What can I say.....

I don't want to leave!!!! 

Well we are at the end of our visit. We want to keep it going. :( But all good things have to come to an end. Can't believe that we used to live here. Seems like a lifetime ago. We will leave Saturday or Sunday. Not looking forward to coming home to the snow. Brrr!  Or facing the icky roads. Right know the sun is out and we are probably going to take all the rug rats to the park. My goals before we leave. Stand on the beach and just smell that fresh ocean air. Hopefully see a sea otter and some hummingbirds.  And of course get last miniute cuddles in with the little ones.

 And find a store here that carries some home made stuff that a neat lady makes here in Montery. Her stuff is found at Bird Mafia. Found her on late night cruising around online and realized that she lives in the same town that my mother-in law does. And she has some of her stuff in some shops around here where we are visiting our family. YEAH sooo exciting and how random is that. lol Love how weird little things happen sometime like that.

Here is a little scarf she makes,I hope I can find it in one of these shops.

So off to my treasure hunt. :)   More to come of our visit............ so stay tuned.
