Me having fun!!! I also got to have adult conversation.

Smile

This is my cousin Leeann up from Houston Texas. She came to represent part of our family. She and I had fun drinking and dancing. Loved being with her. Hate seeing her go back to Texas. So I guess I should plan a trip to Texas.

My cousin's wedding what a great time!!!

Just A Thought!

Does Anybody watch Criminal Minds on Wednesday Nights? Mandy Patinkin is the main star of the show.

I have this complete crush on him. I have seen him in concert 5 times. I have all his music.

So this is my question. Is it wrong that I got jealous when he was kissing a women on the show last night. I got really upset. Just wondering. I have dreams of him and I singing on stage to the song "One Small Voice". I heart Mandy Patinkin.

That's all for now.

What's Gracie Doing Now That She Is One?

She is walking and non stop. My dad calls her Frankenstein because of the way she walks. I think she is very adorable.

Gracie says all the time "Da da da da da" sometimes it's "hi dada".

She waves hi

Loves fish sticks thanks to my awesome friend Donna who had us for dinner last week. Gracie loved them I think she swallowed them whole.

She pushes Hannah away to get to me.

Loves to climb on her cousin Tiernan she laughs so hard.

She loves Tang Juice.

Gracie plays very well by herself. She got a lot of new toys for Christmas and she is having so much fun.

Ask Gracie what a kitty cat says she will say her version of "meow". It's so funny.

Gracie will walk up to you and give you a hug. Oh and she waves too.

Thinks Hannah is the best.



Gosh I love that baby

Happy Birthday MaryGrace!!!!!

MaryGrace Happy 1st Birthday!! We love you so much

The Post That Makes Me Sound Like A B*%^*

Dear stupid people at the mall,

All I have to say is Gracie was dressed in pink and red. She had a pink pacifier and
pink blanket. So please explain it to me why people said she was a cute little boy. Does Gracie look like a boy to you? Cause last time I checked she resembles a girl.If you think differently than that's fine. Just don't get offended when I give a glare and walk away.

Thank You,

The Offended Mommy


at least 10 people came up to Gracie and said what a cute little boy I'm not happy.

It's Just Going To Be One Of Those Day's

My morning started at 6:30 am when Gracie decided she was ready to be up for the day. Hannah who was woken up from Gracie had a meltdown. Hannah went back to sleep,thank God. Okay that's the first part of my morning.

I got ready for work did the usual hair,makeup,stressed. As I was coming down the stairs I slipped and fell down a flight of stairs. I am not kidding I really did. I am 29 years old I thought I was over the falling down the stairs. Dean yelled whoa!! and scared the crap out of Gracie.

So now I am in a lot of pain and can't wait to go home. If Ibuprofen doesn't work I'm hit'n the hard stuff.

Good Grief!!!!!!

Christmas And Sweet Girls

That was a really hard picture to take-on the steps!!
I love when Gracie does that!!
My best Friend and Hannah's Mimi and namesake.

Whole Lotta Stuff Part 2

Where have I been? Going Crazy that's where.

Both girls have ear infections in their left ear. It was very traumatic for both girls. Gracie screamed bloody murder as the doctor cleaned her ear out. Hannah started crying because Gracie was so upset. I smiled only because Hannah is so protective of her sister.

Then they irrigated Hannah's ear. She stopped crying after she realized it did not hurt.

Work is getting really busy because of the cold and flu season.

Hannah is just getting so independent. She can put her coat on by herself. She is also very helpful around the house.

Gracie is mastering climbing the stairs. She likes to climb the stairs when I am not looking. She shakes her head "no" when I find her.

Hannah ,Gracie and I got to have dinner with my mom last night. My dad was working really late. We had so much fun with her. She is such a good mom and Memom. We love her so much.

Do you know that this post has taken me 3 hours to write. I am so busy at work I am writing in between patients.

So I guess I should go.

I will post some pictures soon promise.

Thursday night Hannah Gracie and I are going to see the Nutcracker. My two nephews are in the play. This should be entertaining.

What are you Thankful for?

Gracie Girl!!!

Hi Everyone!!!


Well Gracie is home and her fever broke last night around 10:00pm. The prelims of the bloodwork came back negative. We will know more in a couple days. So that is the good news. The bad news is the red flag is still up and it won't come down for a couple of more days.

Gracie just started to want to eat. I thought she was feeling better this morning when she saw her bottle and went crazy. She then sucked down 80z very quickly. As I write this she is sleeping soundly in her crib. She is in good spirits and is very clingy.

I however am just so blessed by God. My maternal instinct went off Tuesday night and new right away something is not right. This makes my faith sronger and my love for God stronger.

I want to Thank You all from the bottom of my heart. I have never felt so much support ever. You all amaze me and I will love you all forever. I really believe that we this bloggy circle are meant to know eachother. Thank You for the prayers and wanting to know more about my Gracie girl. She and I share a special bond and I love her so much. I told the pediatric nurse that anything happened to my girls you can count me out of anything.

You all are my friends and thank you for excepting me in your circle. I can't say Thank You enough. Please know that I hold you all in high regards.

As you all know Mary Grace is named after the Blessed Mother. So this is the prayer I said over and over again.I think she heard me.We say this in the Catholic Church.

Hail Mary Full Of Grace
The Lord Is With Thee
Blessed Art Thou Among Women
And Blessed Is The Fruit Of Thy Womb Jesus
Holy Mary Mother Of God Pray For Us Sinners
Now And At Thee Hour Of Our Death

Amen

Thanks Fr. Gerry for helping me.

Just so everybody knows, this was my prayer to get me through. I will never push religion on anyone. I didn't want anybody to be turned off by this post.

Mary Grace

Hi everyone

I took MaryGrace to the Doctor yesterday because she has had a fever since Sunday 104.2. She would be okay when she was on motrin but as soon as that wore off. It went back up to 104. Debbie(doctor) wanted me to take her to the Hostpital for blood work. Because of insurance they wouldn't take a stat order. So I said fine and I walked out. I called the on call person and was advised to take her to the Er. The Er at this hostpital has ER just for peds.

So here I am waiting results. I am praying like crazy that everything will be okay. So I will keep you all posted.

Thank You everybody that knows so far for the hugs and support.

Amanda

A Hannah Funny

Hannah comes up to me with a comb and says(in a high pitched voice) "I'm Shell and I am going to do your hair".

My sister Michele owns a hair salon. I recently took Hannah to get her hair cut there. I called and told my sister. She thought that was funny.




Just wanted to share with everybody!!!!!!!!
