December already!?

It's finally December! Wow how time has flown by! Charlotte will be 9 months next week, I have finals this week and next week, and Christmas is almost here! I love the holiday season, it brings me such joy, even when days like today are so stressful I end up crying to half of my family and friends. 

I drove all the way to school for no one to show up, and when I say all the way that is an hour each way, plus 15 minutes to get Charlotte from the babysitter! I have been truly blessed by Charlotte's babysitter! Two wonderful family friends watch the little one while I go sit in class for an hour and talk about our final projects and how they are coming along. I normally have class, except today no one decided they wanted to show. Well after being pissed off because I drove an hour up to school I was on my way back when my engine light came on in the car. I'm an hour away, my husband is 10 hours away at work and my mom is at the doctor with my dad. I try to remain calm (Which is very hard for me haha) and pull over at a gas station and turn the car off. Normally that works. However this time it didn't. I kept driving because I needed to get to Charlotte and get home and I once more stopped to check the gas tank to make sure the cap was on tight, because my car loves to kick the engine light on if the gas cap moves an inch. This didn't work either so I hit full panic mode and called just about everyone in my phone. I made it to Charlotte, broke down in front of the babysitter, who since she has known me since I was a kid, calmed me down and told me everything was alright. 

Charlotte and I got home safely, she took a short nap, and we watched cartoons. Something about holding my little one helped calm me down. I completely went into relaxation mode and watched cartoons with my little girl and forgot about all my problems, and let me tell you It is Amazing what a little girl can do for the heart, especially my little girl. She is only 8 months old but she feels when I'm upset and she crys when I cry, but sometimes and I don't understand how, she stays calm and knows just what to do to make me smile and keep calm. She knows just what to do to get me to forget the stress and just chill with her. It is truly amazing! 

Charlotte is now in bed after a bottle and a book and I went down to check the gas cap one more time, this time completely taking it out and putting it back in and then started the car and GUESS WHAT?!?!! After sitting for four hours and readjusting the cap the engine light is no longer on! HUGE, and I mean HUGE sigh of relief for this mama and a happy dance in the parking lot of my apartment complex. *If people didn't think I was already weird, I just earned that title tonight haha* 

Overall, what turned into a stressful day was de-stressed by my 8 month old daughter and my insticts to just keep trying and keep going no matter how hard it got. I'm truly blessed to call Charlotte Faith Wicks my baby girl and my savior in times of need. 

One thing that the babysitter told me, "God had a plan today and he knew I could handle it." This is so true and I thank God everyday for what I have and I am very blessed with my life. As much as I cuss, stress, and run around like a crazy person I know he is looking out for me and my family. 

This is such a long post, Sorry. It helps to write things out even if people don't really want to hear it :)

XOXO

Weekend Recap!

Happy Monday! I wont lie, today is a lot like my dish towel says: We had all the plans to go exploring and do something productive this weekend, but I only managed to clean the entire kitchen on Friday afternoon while the babies were napping! Here is a a bit of our weekend:  Friday morning started out with two monkeys jumping on the bed bright and early!  I love how they wake up so happy in the morning Riley got his 15 month shots on Thursday so I was fully expecting a grump and a half and got a very happy smiley baby boy instead!  We practiced blowing kisses We snuggled and we ran around with our backpack of toys Mommy did not unpack from the doctor's visit.  Saturday we spent lots of time snuggling on the couch, napping, and watching cartoons and just relaxing before hitting up the grocery store for a big trip. We got home late enough it was a sandwich for dinner kind of night.  Sunday we had plans to go out and ab...

Weekend Recap on a Tuesday! :)

So I was trying to get this posted yesterday but the littles decided they wanted to test Mommy yesterday and not allow me to get anything done. By the time both kids were in bed for the night I was so tired I just went straight to bed instead of having some "me" time. This weekend started out running errands and going to the park! We haven't been to the park since August when I was put on bedrest! Our newest park member! She learned to climb the slide from her Aunt. She watched her climb up and just had to do it herself The park can be exhausting for little boys!  Scott got home late, late Friday night like 12:30 am and we went straight to bed because he had to be up and out the door for a class at 9 am. He was gone until 4:30 and as soon as he got home Charlotte would not leave his lap! Even with baby Riley sitting there. We watched football all day, and even late into the night, since Saturday is devoted to college football! The ...

Memorial Day catch up!

Happy Tuesday!  We survived Pre-K!  Char graduated last Thursday and her last day on Friday! She had such a fun year and learned so much and is very sad to be going to a different school next year, but she is also so excited as well! I just cannot believe I have a Kindergartener! Time flies when they are growing up! We had a super busy weekend with my sister coming into town to visit, so I'm catching up on laundry, and cleaning and getting into a summer routine with the kiddos! We are so excited for adventures this summer!  I will be back tomorrow with a weekend recap, but for now here is some photos from Char's graduation at her Pre-K! Have a great day everyone and thanks for stopping by!
