FINALLY!
I'm back. Today is the first day that I woke up feeling pretty normal. I almost hate to make this post for fear tomorrow the baby blues will attack me again. But, I believe in the power of positive thinking. So, I just know that I'm normal again. Sorry I haven't been commenting or posting. Writing just about anything made me cry. And talking to just about anyone on the phone made me cry. I just cried alot. It's behind me now, though and I'm not going to go into any more detail. I'll just say that hormones can be a bitch.
My comments and posts may still be sparse, because it seems like the only time I have for the computer is when a kid is in my lap...so, if you get a short comment, it's because I'm typing with one hand. I'll comment the next time I get on. Today, I'm just going to get this post in and pictures up.
We've pretty much been holed up here at the house. The H1N1 virus was just making the news at our one week check-up. My doctor forbade Mattie and I from going into public. So, I have not been in any sort of public setting for almost a month now. I'm calling the office today to see if we can get out and about yet. Even if they say no, I may do it anyhow.
We have been going to town with Wesley & Caden when they do the grocery shopping. She and I sit in the truck and wait. I never thought I would look forward to going grocery shopping! Here is Mattie bundled up on a rainy day, about a week or so ago:
We've been doing a lot around the house. Wesley had Dad come run a backhoe and grub a few mesquite and load a junk pile the old owners left out in the pasture. Caden loved it!
Here are a few shots of the backyard and the pasture. Wes and I have picked up a lot in the backyard. We also eat on the patio almost every nite. I love the summertime! Oh, Wes has been grilling just about every nite, too. He is in a Biggest Loser competition at work. The prize is close to $1,000 and he is currently in the lead. Monday is the final day, but we've decided to try and eat healthy even after the competition.
Last week, Mattie and I matched ...totally accidental.
Last Sunday, I got a call to do a cake. For some reason, I said yes. This week, I was struggling to get it done. I called my Mom to come and help me. I was in tears, but that was par for the course since Mattie was born. Anyhow, I asked her what the hell I was thinking taking the order, and she said I must have been having a good moment when the lady called. I think she was right. So, here is the cake that Mom and I did yesterday. It was a total collaboration and the cake wouldn't have gotten done without her. So, thanks Mom.
Cute, huh? Okay, I'm going to get off of here and make the most out of feeling good again! I can't tell you how great it is to wake up without a pit in your stomach.
Life is good, love to all!

I love your place! What a lovely and welcoming area you have out in the back. I would be eating out there at every given chance too! Its wonderful!!!
Of course the pictures of the kids are the most darling. Caden and his Grandpa up there in the cab are mighty cute! He looks like he is enjoying this! Mattie is so darling, she is mighty sweet!
You are so talented with the cake decorating! I have been wanting to take a class in this for some time, I always think it looks like so much fun!!!
Enjoy your day and give those sweet babies a kiss from me!
Thanks Mornin Glorie....Of course I'm gonna snag pictures - I have Mattie on my screen saver right now but I might have to have Caden and my BIL next! I never thought of you having to stay home because of the flu thing...it's nice that your home is so GREAT! Four More Weeks....ILYM
Oh i am SO GLAD you are feeling better. Also, i am a terrible cousin and I talked to you the DAY BEFORE your birthday and didnt even mention it! ACK! HAPPPPPYYYY BIIIRRTTHHDDAAYY!!!!
Man, those picture of Caden and Uncle Huey are something else. I love them so much, I cant even imagine how much fun they were both having! I havent seen your dad in so long seeing pictures of him almost makes ME cry!
Anyway, i really am so glad that you are having a good day. I just know that they will become more and more frequent before you know it. If you ever wanna call me and just cry I would be glad to hear it.
Please give that most beautiful baby girl a kiss for me and the boys too. Tell Wes good luck with the competition! My trick is using avacado or hummus as mayo, always. If ya'll are ever eating sandwiches. which if you are grilling, im guessing not. Wow, i am really rambling here. I better go. I hope you know how much I love you because its so much that im surprised the world can hold it all!
