A little of everything POST...

I guess this post could best be called "A Little Of Everything". This is not a well thought out post at all, most of mine aren't. I am better at just sharing random things and daily happenings. So where should I start?....hmmmm...

RSV Stinks!!!!

First off, I want to do an update on my little sweetheart "Z". He is not that much better tonight. His RSV is at full force and the xrays today showed he has  pneumonia in one lung. He's one sick and very fussy little boy tonight. The steroids are making him so irritable.  Nothing is making him happy. He has spent 2 days doing nothing but crying. Normally he is the most happy & smiley baby ever. I will be so happy when he gets to feeling better. Please keep my little man in your prayers.

Did Someone Say New Year?!?!...
I can't believe that it's almost a New Year already. It seems like Easter was just here yesterday...lol It feels like every year goes faster than the one before. Does it seem that way to you too? Maybe I'm just getting old:)

I'm looking forward to a brand new year. I am so ready to say goodbye to this one. 2011 was one of the saddest years of my life, so telling it goodbye feels good. I am looking forward to 2012. I just pray that it will be a much better year for all of us. I'm hoping to do a "look back" on 2011 (only the good things) post ,because we did have some good times too.

I was reading a friend's blog earlier and she posted her two words for the New Year. After much thought, I decided my two words for 2012 will be "Live" and "Love". I plan to live every day to it's fullest... I have already been working on this one. I know to well how fragile life is and I know better than taking my life or the people I love for granted. I plan to show more love to all of my family & friends. I want to make sure that they know how much they mean in my life and I want them to feel my love. Yes, I plan to throw that "laugh" in there too. You know, "Live, Laugh, and Love". Ladonna's blog said two words, but I think I may go with three:) I plan to "laugh" as much and as hard as I can.  Life's to short not to be happy.

This may be my quote for the new year...

Promise Yourself:

Dear Sandy,

Promise yourself...
 ~ To be so strong that nothing disturbs your peace of mind.
~ To talk only positive to every person you meet.
~ To make all your friends feel like they are special.
~ To look at the sunny side of everything and make your optimism come true.
~ To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best in each day.
 ~ To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.
~ To wear a cheerful countenance at all times and give every living creature you meet a smile.
~ To give so much time to the improvement of yourself that you have no time to criticize others.
~ To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble." 

We are in wedding mode...

 As I posted before, our Katie Bug is getting married....this Spring...yes really. My girls LOVE to pop these things on me and they never want to wait a year or two on it (like mom always suggests). So, once again ,we are putting together a speedy wedding. We did it before and we can do it again. She got her wedding dress yesterday. It was originally $400, but she got it on sale for $200 and it was exactly what she wanted...yay!!!! She's one happy girl. Maybe the rest of the planning will go just as well.
My Grandbaby Rocks!!!!
I can't believe my precious little grand "Brookelyn" will be turning 2 in 2 weeks. I love the little girl that she is becoming. I love that she can actually carry on a conversation with me now. She acts so much older than 2. I love that she's so prissy & so very girly. I love how she loves babies and animals. I love how she is so loving toward every one and every thing. I love how she is friendly and happy all the time. I just love her so much and I have LOVED watching her grow every day. Come to think of it, I can't think of a single thing I don't love about her:) When she says "I'm my MeMe's girl"...it just makes my heart swell...really.
I've been birthday shopping too. I found this adorable little birthday outfit and just had to have it for my little birthday Princess girl.

And a friend of mine is making Bookie Shae (that's her nickname)

 this adorable Valentines set.

Little girls are just so much fun and MeMe sure is enjoying Miss Brookelyn Shae.

Oh, one more thing...

My blog is going to be printed!  I've been wanting to do this for some time,so as soon as the last post of 2011 is posted, I'm sending it to Blog2Print. I'm really excited about this.


Well, I guess I better run. My wee little Z really needs to be cuddled right now, by me:) Oh how I love him.

We have a new year just ahead of us and I have a feeling that it's going to be a wonderful one.
But for now, I am just going to keep putting one foot in front of the other until 2011 is far behind me.

Have a great weekend everyone!

Trust in the LORD with all thine heart;and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him,and he will direct thy paths. ~Proverbs 3:5-6
