~heavy heart~

So, as i was doing my weekly shopping I was paying for my groceries when a little old man walked by and told the cashier he would be right back and to watch his cart. Apparently nature was calling this man's name rather loudly and he couldn't wait to hit the little boys room. The cashier didn't understand him so i turned to look back at his cart and relay the message and my heart broke. In his cart were about 43 totinos pizzas *ick* , a bag of russet potatoes, a bag of onions, 4 boxes of cereal, 31 various frozen dinners, lettuce and some milk. I think the woman behind me noticed my shock and said his wife would be rolling over in her grave if she saw what he was eating. I just felt such sadness for him. He goes home and has his same pizza or frozen dinners every night by himself. I wanted to invite him over for dinner but then my son was trying to dismantle the credit card machine and we had to leave before nuclear meltdown happened in the middle of walmart. It was a moment where my heart was heavy...

Awkward & Awesome

besos friends!

Blah, that's how I feel this am... Maybe, its the staying up late and having to open at work. Maybe, its the hour commute that I'm totally over and can't wait for my 3 minute commute. Maybe, it's because it's FRIDAY!! Yep, That's it!! Im pretty sure it's supposed to be sunny today too, so that's a double whammy!! If its sunny and over 50 around these parts i pretty much consider it summer:) I love the sunshine!

Awkward~
~running into someone that used to be a really good friend and then out of no where they stop talking to you... makes me sad:(

~driving behind someone on the freeway during my hour commute and having them splatter a racoon and getting blood and guts on my windshield. Ugg, totally dry heaved and fought the urge to use windshield wipers. It just would have made a bigger mess!!

~ Spelling my name wrong on a coworkers goodbye card. Who does that?? Ive only had the same name for oh, 28 years!!


Awesome~
~ I GOT THE JOB!!! I have been trying for a while now to get a job closer to my house. The hour commute to and from work really cuts into my monkey quality time and that is just unacceptable! Nothing Ive interviewed for has been ideal. This one was perfect, perfect schedule, perfect location and seems like an amazing boss!! (I hope he is)



~ I bought myself my own mothers day gift! I usually get flowers and a card but I wanted something a lil more and there was no way the hubs would have gotten any of my hints. You'd think after being together for 13 years errr, 14?? he'd get the hints and be able to read my mind! So, I now have my own little mini computer! It's small and cute and does what I need it to do! yay!

~ My son eats his veggies first! Every meal! Every time! Amazing right??! When he's hungry for a snack he asks for fruit too! What an odd child I have. I'll just go with it tho:)

Easter Weekend

Wow, what a busy weekend! I can't believe its already Sunday night!(started this post on sunday but was busy till now) This makes me sad:( Why do the weekends always go so fast, especially when they re so good?? **Warning photo overload!**



I love holidays. Why, you ask? Well, it seems to be the only time we can get all the family together in one spot. My husband comes from a large family (3 brothers) just in his immediate family. In this family I have two (almost 3) amazing, smart, beautiful and talented sister in laws. I feel like I hit the jackpot with them, seriously! I say large because its always just been me and my sister with my parents. We never lived close to our extended family. I can remember being little and going to our aunt and uncles house for Thanksgiving but other holidays it was just us.

So, one of the hubs brothers, wife and kiddos came down from P-town and were staying with my in laws and we all met up on Saturday night. Two of the three brothers and their wives and kids. The other brother is stationed in Hawaii with my future sister in law. My mother in law is an amazing cook and can cook up a mean feast! We had tacos galore, plus her amazing strawberry shortcake!! Yum!!

After dinner we got to dye eggs with the kiddos. This was always my fav part of Easter. I loved dying the eggs! I never realized how messy and stressed out this can make the mom... I have dyed hands from saving the eggs from being thrown by my monkey boy. Needless to say we both had a wonderful array of colors dyed on our hands. :) No harm, no foul. It washed off just fine.

Sunday, unfortunately, the hubs had to work. Who orders cable on a Sunday let alone on Easter?? I see where there priorities lay... So the monkey and I went over to my in laws for an Easter egg hunt (indoors, boo!) I remember being little in Southern California and getting all gussied up, yes, I said gussied. Running around outside and trying to find all the eggs before my sister could... Maybe that's the difference, we live in Oregon, where it rains year round!! Oh, but wait five minutes and it will be sunny again!


After a quick egg hunt we headed over to have brunch at another relatives house! Yay for yummy food! There will be no pictures of this said yummy food because I was too busy eating it and feeding the monkey. Trust tho, it was amazing!! Then after stuffing our faces we somehow made it home in a food coma and took a long afternoon nap! Then all of a sudden it was Monday!!

~Awkward~

~ Forgetting to turn handle then proceed thru door. (this happens at least once a day)

~ My son mimicking me throughout walmart and then saying very loudly that mommy will be having a timeout when we get home.

~ Forgetting where I'm driving to on the way to work. I blame my coffee not kicking in yet.

~ Seeing my OB/GYN at a sushi restaurant and having her keep looking over at my like she knows me but doesn't know where from... Probably because she hasn't spent much time looking at my face, ha!


~Awesome~

~ My monkey boy waking me up with a kiss on the cheek, saying good morning mommy!

~ The sunshine outside! Seriously!!

~ The awesome mexi food I'm gonna chow down on tonight!! Thank you Hacienda!
