V-day surprise.........

Happy Valentines Day!

Mine came early, Nate and Morghana went to the store last night and came back with 3 cards, teddy bear and my fav flower stargazer lillies. I put up pictures of the cards and the flowers but not the teddy bear. Morghana picked out the dog card all by herself, it says "Ruff "on the front and then the inside sais "thats how it would be without a mommy like you."

It's been awhile....

Well it has been awhile since I have written anything in here. Things have been very crazy around here. I haven't been feeling the best, Nate got swine flu and was put on tamaflu. So I was afraid Morghana and I would get sick so Morghana went to my mom's house.

I have been having some issues with Morghana's attitude, she has been having bad temper tantrums and I think she is deaf. She does not listen to me at all. I have had to really buckle down and follow through with the punishments and mean what I say and back it up...I just hate to hear her cry. Taking care of her has been a bit easier since Nate is home. I can't turn my back on her for more than a minute because she get's into stuff she shouldn't...

Last night she was in her bedroom, it was time to go to bed and instead of laying down she was taking her sippy cup of milk taking a drink and spitting it out on her wood toy box. I don't know what to do about that problem. I am at a loss.

Am I having the temper tantrum or is she?

Well it is now 12:33am and I am still awake after only getting 3 hours of sleep yesterday. I have no idea what is going on with my daughter or with me that she is refusing to go to bed, I lay her down and tell her goodnight and it looks like she is going to sleep. And BOOM! she is awake and on what seems a major sugar high.

Stress what's that?

 

As I sit here in bed with Morghana jumping around on the bed, screaming and telling me no to everything I say I realize just how stressed out I have been today.

Coffee, My little pony and temper tantrums.

The joys of having a 3 year old, she is so excited about all the toys she got for xmas. She asked to play with one toy which she plays with for all of 5 min, then she wants something else. LOL I finally told her you play with the toys you have out and boy did she come unglued!

Happy Holidays, New Year and everything in between....

Well I hope everyones Holidays were as great and jolly as mine and my family. Morghana got everything she wanted and more, she got a ton of clothes and toy's oh my god the toys!  I am going to have to clean out her room of all her old toys to make room for her new ones. There was a certain toy she had been wanting for the past 6 months, called Spike the ultra dinosaur.

Kickass XMAS!

Well all I am back and very happy to be....Things are excellent here in Tigard, Oregon. Morghana is doing great she got everything she wanted for xmas....Nathan got lots of goodies...and I got my laptop! YAY!!!!  I will download pics tonight or tomorrow..

Broken Computer Blues....

Well all, after tonight I won't have a computer. I am hopeing that I will get one soon! I hope you all have Happy holidays, and if I get what I want for xmas I will be back ASAP!

Turkey, sweet potato's and family....

I am going to start this blog with a hope you all had a great Thanksgiving, I know I did. Nathan and I went to his grandparents house, had all kinds of delish food. A huge turkey, homemade stuffing, sweet potato's you name it we had it. Dessert everywhere at least 8 pies...pumpkin muffins, chocolate cookie's with white chocolate chips.Then after eveyone one stuffed their faces, we played cards and hung out. The only thing that was wrong was Morghana wasn't there, I miss her so much she will not be going away for the holiday's ever again! But I talked to my mom and she said Morghana was having a blast, she payed t-ball played in the sandbox ate alot of food which is rare of her to do. My time away from her was nice but also boring! I had no idea what to do with myself, all day while Nathan was at work I had no one to talk too.


And houesitting for my parents was a huge mistake! I had 3 dogs and a cat to take care of, it was like taking care of 3 toddlers. One of them constantly pissed on the floor so every morning I had to clean up dog piss. YUCK! And my mom told me that they are going to Las Vegas for new years, and how much do you want to bet they are going to ask Nathan and I to watch the dogs. NO WAY JOSE!

Anyways, I am going to go enjoy some leftovers and relax! You all have a great day.
