memorial day wknd
but here is where things get funny! saturday night we had about 7 big guys, two ladies, and 4 kids in the living room! ha. we don't have a small place but it's not equipped to have kitchen chairs, a recliner, rocking chair, sofa, kids on the floor & a game chair all over the living room so i went to step over a chair when my sandal got caught on the leg & boom! right on my butt. my cousin stated "dude it looked like you slipped on ice & your legs went over your head & you went doOoWN!" LoL fantastic. it knocked the wind out of me & of course i was a wee bit embarrassed but i got over that quickly. i of course tried to drink the pain away which only worsened the blow in the morning. haha. woke up to three kids, a hungover daddy, and a mess in the house. haha. luckily/unluckily snugglebutt didn't have soccer & his mom was around so we were able to drop him off with her & go to the er. because my butt & back were insanely sore & hurting. after two hours of trying to sit in those horribly uncomfortable seats, or trying to pace around the hallways. we got a verdict of a badly bruised tailbone & upset sciatic nerve. got some marvelous pain killers & anti-inflammatory meds which knocked me out & have helped a ton.
then this morning olivia had her six month check up; she looks amazing the doctor said, sounds great, great weight gain, she is on the taller side for her age (i'm hoping she'll be like her aunti jyll; long legs, skinny & gorgeous), she of course got some shots which she did pretty well with but knocked her out for most of the day which was great due to my butt killing me & my meds knocking me out.
well that was our weekend, pretty busy & now i must begin the preparing for next weekends festivities tomorrow. luckily my OCD & beloved* helped do the "beginning of summer cleaning" yes i do it for every season. i love to clean & when i get the motivation i just go with it. now having a child i am insanely worse with it. i sweep at least once a day, scrub cabinets, floors, the fridge! i am bad. but no one complains when the house is nice & clean :)
well that was our weekend. hope everyone had an enjoyable memorial day weekend too. here's to a fantastic summer. ours is starting off great, let's hope it stays that way.
OH! and wish me luck tomorrow night, i bought a powerball ticket, it's up to $260 million. would be a nice little check to have.

busy bee
but! the last week or so we have had my mom's beeday which rocked, my parents love aidan! aidan loves my family things just clicked when i walked into this lil man's life, the worries of "will this lil man welcome me & my family", "will things be weird as to will he be confused as to who's who & will we fit into each other's personalities" but everything just clicked into place. rockin! so yesterday we went to my parents; my aunt/her husband were there, my dear friend val/her husband, my brother, dad, brother's friends who are like step-children, shannon/lil miss rileigh marie* it was a grand old time. there also was a lot of stuff there for peanut! my parents' friends have been giving us hand-me-downs which seem to be brand new! for us. we got wicked cute clothes, snowsuits, a swing, bassinet, chair & my parents got us our carriage! things are getting wicked exciting! so aidan had a blast as well; he loves hanging with rii* i am not sure if it;s the being older, smarter, wiser thing but he holds her hand & guides her from the house to the park, shows her how to do stuff but they love hanging out with each other. and my brother/father are big goofs with aidan; wrestling, running around & my brothers' friends being there made it that much more fun for him cause they were just as crazii. so yesterday rocked!
moving further back into last week, we had a checkup & blood-test with the doctor for peanut. the blood-work was for the sugar test to make sure my sugar levels are right where they should be, a little nervous but not really been feeling fine things have been right on track & i don't eat crazii amounts of sugar or items with lots of sugar so i think we're good. i am right on track with my weight gain, blood pressure & cervix/uterus sizing. altho my back/feet discomfort are starting to get to me everything else is just superb!
now! this week is looking just as nutty. we are moving! yay. bigger, nicer, more fabulous place next weekend & we have yet to begin to pack, organize or clean! haha. it's been a busy time for us. we did tho purchase a few new things we needed; dvd case, trash can, strainer, shower curtain, cleaning products nothing huge but lil things we need. so we have a lot to do! yet at the same time my beloved* tells me 'don't worry babe i have moved so many times i'm a pro we'll have it done in no time' okay! babe whatever you say. saturday we will be doing cleaning & packing; aidan will be doing his room. we didn't see it fit to just move his stuff & have this huge change without him knowing or being involved. so last night we brought him there to see it along with my parents & it has been aidan approved! he loved it, he kept asking my parents 'come on let me show you around' LoL kid is too cute. he is going to set up his room; we plan on doing his room super heros; star wars, transformers, gi joe, & of course spongebob! and his sisters' room will be "angelica" a theme we got from babiesrus so he is wicked excited to help set up her room too. he said 'we need to make sure that things are safe for her' i love how he's so protective before she's even here. then sunday! is the big move; all of the furniture, boxes for us & the living room/kitchen, washing machine & dryer & getting everything in it's place. i have a feeling it won't be as bad as i'm anticipating it to be but i always see the worst. LoL
but! friday night before all of this takes place my beloved* & i are giving ourselves a night for us. this saturday was the first saturday we didn't have lil snugglebutt in a long time & instead of doing date night (which we haven't seen in a while either) we got things ready for the new place LoL so friday night we are going down to mansfield to see kings of leon!! woohoo. i am so excited. my beloved* has seen them before but didn't realize who they were at the time so we are both wicked excited for this. we are also spending the night at a hotel & just relaxing before things begin. because this weekend sets off the rest of the month. the weekend after this one we have aidan's 5th beeday party, the weekend after that is peanuts shower (but ssh! it's a surprise) LoL & then october begins. so aidan's mom has a lot (i'm assuming) last minute details to her wedding!! so we may have snugglebutt a lot, which is cool cause he can help with the last minute stuff for peanut's arrival. we also have snugglebutt for halloween this year which i am really excited about! i love trick or treating! then november hits & peanuts' arrival will come at any time. woah. this has been one busy year & it's def going to end on that same note.
but there is my update a lot going on everywhere; work, home, play, just insanity! happy monday & happy september.

Time is on My Side.
Rileigh Marie* loved him.
my baby.I can remember when I first got you babes, exactly two weeks before Christmas day 2005. I had graduated college that year & my dog Jasper had passed while I was in school & was so devastated that my parents drove all the way to Maine, to a breeder to get my baby. My mom & dad came in on a Sunday shift (worked at Papa Gino's at the time) and stunned, they never came to visit especially not on a Sunday and this little tiny head popped out of my moms jacket! It was my baby Wally & yes I even did cry! It was love at first sight. Sigh.

November 4 :: Election Day, Blog No 4
So today is Election Day, go and vote! Whether your liberal, a Democrat or a Repulician doesn't matter just got to rock your vote today. If you are using the "I don't care" or "I don't know enough information about the canidates or issues" go to any radio station or tv station website & get a quick info session, I know that Wbcn has a quick info session, that I myself personally looked at and got a lot of information about the issues & canidates & it helped me out. So right now go to any tv or radio website get some quick info & on your lunch hour grab a hoagie or a favorite book & get in a line in your city at any school & vote! Won't kill you to stand in line, the weather here in Boston is gorgeous & if you have a book or sandwich to eat you'll be fine, or go with a friend from your place of work.

calm after the storm
So I guess I will end this rant with hope everyone nutures their hangovers, left over makeup & grogginess so they can make it through the day. Halloween is over, but that only means we have 364 days to get ready for next year! So start preparing! It comes very fast, and here's to the upcoming holiday season! Thanksgiving, Christmas & New Years! Love them all.

Calm after the Storm
Okay, so I am feeling so much better than yesterday! I took all of my frustrations of work, scheudling, lack of sleep, lack of respect out on my apartment with my cleaning products. So not only did I kind of work out, I am way more relaxed today & the apartment got a serious scrub down! Not too shabby if I may say so myself, LoL. But I seriously wanted to apologize for the angry blog yesterday, I was (obviously) seriously frustrated with a lot of things & let them just bottle up & then I kind of exploded and I have not been my usual perky, upbeat, bubbly self. Not only do I want that lady back but some of my circle needs that right now, LOVES!! Some of my loved ones surronding me are having their own episodes at the moment so I need to get back to myself ASAP and help them out. But in my reality check of myself last night I relazied that I had some pictures I wanted to share this morning, there had been a lot of things going on in the past few weeks & I have been slacking on sharing with you. My moms' birthday had past & the girls got together for an interesting cake, bonfire & drinks then of course we had the Breast Cancer Awareness Walk with the Rock Your Sox team and I have pictures of them all. And there will be more coming, this weekend is all about myself & my beloved, we finally have some down time to just hang and enjoy each others' company & I am stoked! Also my dearest & friend of years and I are going to Haunted Acres this Thursday on Epping, NH and I am so excited! This is a yearly thing we do, go to a different haunted house at least once a season & get the pants scared off of us, and I am a huge scaredy cat but I love it! So there will be more blogs with more interesting things. Til then fellow bloggers!
Val and I at the bonfire

That would be my beautiful mom & Rileigh & her interesting cake

That is my beloved & I

Rock Your Sox family portion
