The Ridiculous effects drugs have on me

So I am not one who often takes any type of drug when I am not feeling well. I usually just try to tough it out, there is only one time of the month that I usually want a little something. Sorry for the men that read this, but ladies I know you feel my pain. When I was a teenager I would always take Midol, it worked wonders. I usually take the caffinated kind and that is the problem, maybe I should buy un-caffinated. Ever since my first cycle after Kyleigh I have been so sensitive to it, so I usually take Ibprofen. Well every once in a while I think life has changed and I take my Midol. So yesterday at around 4:30 I took some. Lance came home like at 10:30 and was wondering what was wrong with me because I was not drifting off to sleep. I seriously could not go to sleep. Lance stayed up with me, but in turn we woke up Jaxon and then he woke up Kyleigh. It was family time last night til about 1:30. Then I decided I should be a good example and get my family to bed. I was still not tired!! I sat in bed for a while and then finally fell asleep probably around like 2:30-3. I know this isn't that late to some people, but I am one who gets up in the morning no matter what. I just can not sleep in. I slept in til 7 today though, and I still woke up wide awake. I have learned another lesson in not taking this stuff, funny thing is I only took half a dose. Well if anyone read this I am sorry if it was boring. I just have a lot of energy and this typing is working wonders for me.
Thanks for reading

Oh I need a break!

So I have been studying a lot today and I keep drifting off to sleep, I didn't sleep well last night darn it! That's the bad thing about online classes, a lot of reading. So I just realized that a month ago today was the last time Jaxon wore diapers, yay Jaxon!!! Can I tell you how frustrating the whole potty training thing was? I just don't think he was really ready! I had been trying since before Halloween, well trying off and on. I got very impatient with him! We got him a prize bucket and everything, but it did not work. So Santa brought him some underwear, and the day after Christmas I put them on him. He kept having accident after accident, and I was asking him about every 20 minutes if he had to go potty. 5 minutes after asking him and trying to get him to go, I would find a little puddle somewhere. I did not want to go back to diapers so this is what I did;
I TOOK ALL HIS CHRISTMAS TOYS AWAY!!! I had him help me get all of his toys and put them in my away and I told him that when he went in the potty he would get a toy back. If he had an accident I would take another away. So the next couple of days were entertaining because he made sure I took his toys away when he had an accident. He said, " mommy you take this toy too?" He wanted me to get all of the accessories to the bigger toys. Well I felt mean, but it worked for him. I am so happy to not have 2 in diapers anymore! He still wears a pull-up at nap time and bedtime, but hopefully we will figure that out next. Well I hope that was not a boring read, maybe it will help some of you, who knows. I must thank Amy for putting the idea in my head:)
One more thing, after our taxes are done we will know for sure if we can get our house. We picked the colors and and everything, so I would hate to be disappointed. We will see, cross your fingers!!!!!!

I have a 3 year old!!!!!!

So I just had to write really quick about Jaxon's birthday. He turned 3 Monday Januray 12th, I am a little slow at getting this posted. It is so crazy to me that I have a 3 year old. He is just the sweetest little boy ever. I just wanted to say some things about him for his birthday.

When I was pregnant with Jaxon it was literally 9 months of misery. I hated being pregnant. I threw up about 3 times a day or more. I just got used to doing it, so it eventually did not bother me(yes for the whole 9 months). I had constant heart burn, my feet were always swollen, and on top of that I had kidney stones. They had to surgically remove them because they couldn't laser them out. No, it was no fun at all. I was went in on the night of January 11 to start the inducing process. They gave me something to dilate me and then they gave me a sleeping pill. Lance and I remember that night! It had the opposite affect on me, I was hallucinating and could not sleep at all!!! So the next morning I remember getting started and it taking forever. I think they started about 6 am and I had him about 5pm. As soon as I saw him all of the pain of being pregnant was nothing compared to the love I had for him. I would do it over and over! Jaxon was the best baby ever, he was so mellow. He had the most quiet little cry. Plus he slept through the night at 5 weeks!!! I feel so blessed to have him in my life. He is so thoughtful and caring and I just love him so much. HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

Happy New Year!!!!!!!

So another year has gone. I am really excited about this next year of my life. What an adventure life is. I wish I wrote in my journal more so I could remember my thoughts at certain times in my life. (Hey look a new years resolution.) 2008 is now gone, crazy!!!! Jaxon will be 3 in like less than 2 weeks. I will have a 3 year old.
So Christmas Eve we went to my Grandma's house and Santa showed up and Jaxon and Kyleigh were in awe. Jaxon was looking outside for reindeer most of the time. We told him they were on the roof. I am glad Santa to my grandma's house, that was good preparation. It was so fun to have Santa leave presents at our house! Jaxon loved it and was so excited. Lance and I didn't prepare well though, we ended up wrapping everything the night before. Lessons for the future! When we finally went to bed I could not sleep because I was so excited. I felt like a kid! It was so fun to see how excited my kids were. I loved it!!!! I would post pictures, but I didn't take very many. Well all in all it was a GREAT Christmas! Did I mention I got P90X work out videos? I have been doing them and I love, love, love it! Oh one more thing. Jaxon is pretty much potty trained! What an adventure. That will be another days post.
So I just wanted to post some pictures from this year to look back on.




This girl does not like things in her hair!

I just love this picture! It is from my friend's wedding.

She looks so little!

Toot Toot!!!!!!

Kyleigh just loved the train at the Zoo.
