My new home sweet home...

Here are some photos of our new home.. that we will be moving living in in T-minus 23 days! Ahhh


The owners still have a bit of cleaning up to do so if the photos look a tady "dirty" it's because it IS dirty!

My top 5 favorite things about this new place:

1. The backyard! The dogs now have a place to run, bark, pee, poop and go dog wild!

2. Storage! There is a garage and actual place to store stuff!

3. Space. There is a lot of room here! I love the condo on the lake and it so far has been my favorite part about living here in North Carolina so far, but its small and when you have more than 1-2 people over it is crowded and claustrophobic!  So now we have 2 guest rooms!!! So everyone has a place to sleep, stay and hang out and that my friends makes me a happy mama!

4. Location. Well living in Boiling Springs is umm, well how do you say different. For those of you have yet to visit or see the area when you do you will laugh. It is literally 1 min away from Mr. G's school and 2 mins away from his office. Can you say awesome. He now can come home for lunch! And I can go to the track to run! Woot!

5. We are close to one of the coaches on Mr. G's staff that has a 1 year old that is fun. So hanging out is no longer a production. If I forget something drive less than 5 mins to the house and back to get what I need! Yup!

So, aside from trying to move form one house to the next (can you say stressful) I am excited.  GG (my mom) is going to come and help me move for a few days at the end of the month to help me organize, move and decorate!

Here we go:

April Fools...

Today is April 1st...aka April fools day.

I hate this day.

I always feel like I get excited or sad for people and its such wasted energy and emotion.

But ya, I have no joke for you guys. I could use the over used one... I'm pregnant!

But I am not and I don't want to be so ya.

No joke ... My favorite G family is coming to visit me for 4th of July week!

YOU. HAVE. NO. IDEA. HOW. EXCITED. I. AM. :)

It almost didn't happen ... so glad it did!

 Happy mean joke day people!

Happy Thursday people!

Rain and flower buds,

Love Miss P and Me!

My day...

Today before I go make dinner I decided to do a photo diary of Miss P and I's day together.

Because we are both feeling under the weather (me with a respirtory infection and Miss P getting her shots) we did a pajama and laundry day! Oh fun!

Miss P helping me fold the 6 loads of laundry I did!

she is telling about I should really stay on top of the laundry

Play time!

How cute is she!?

And she is OUT!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well off to make dinner and finish the laundry! I cannot wait till its all done! Almost there!

A Lullaby ...

I love singing silly songs to Miss P.

My favorite song of all...

"You are My Sunshine"

When she is unhappy I sing it to her and more times than not she relaxes and listens.

Now, I know its not cause of my amazing vocal skills but probably cause it is her mommy's voice but still I feel special!

Well the other day I was singing it to her and I realized I didn't know the whole song.




So I looked up the lyrics and was surprised at how sad and random the song i.


Take a look:

You Are My Sunshine
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away

The other nite, dear,
As I lay sleeping
I dreamed I held you in my arms.
When I awoke, dear,
I was mistaken
And I hung my head and cried.

You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.

I'll always love you
And make you happy
If you will only say the same
But if you leave me
To love another
You'll regret it all some day;

You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.

You told me once, dear
You really loved me
And no one else could come between
But now you've left me
And love another
You have shattered all my dreams;

You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.

Louisiana my Louisiana
the place where I was borne.
White fields of cotton
-- green fields clover,
the best fishing
and long tall corn;

You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.
Crawfish gumbo and jambalaya
the biggest shrimp and sugar cane,
the finest oysters
and sweet strawberries
from Toledo Bend to New Orleans;

You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
You make me happy
When skies are grey.
You'll never know, dear,
How much I love you.
Please don't take my sunshine away.
 

After reading that song I decided to research the orgin of the song... and this is what I came up with.

From Wiki: " "You Are My Sunshine" is a popular song first recorded in 1939. It has been declared one of the state songs of Louisiana as a result of its association with former state governor and country music singer Jimmie Davis."

Not as exciting as I hoped. So for now I will stick to the first verse of the song and be done with it. 


Dear Miss. P,


You are my sunshine :)


The End.

Sickness...

A illness has hit our little family.

Ugh.

First, it was Miss P.

Now, it is me.

Mr. G is complaining of a sore throat which is how my sickness started.

Sweet.

Last night all I wanted was to go to bed early.

Usually Miss P is down for the night around 8:30-9pm. Not too bad right?

Well, last night my little angel decided to wake up at 10pm wide awake, full of smiles and giggles.

The sad thing was she was completely content on laying in her bed laughing all by herself, but I felt bad missing all her fun. So, I got up and played with her because I didn't want to miss a single smile or coo.

Oh man. I got it bad.

So she didn't go to sleep till about 12:30. But by then I had gotten a second wind.

I didn't fall asleep till 1:30. So to say the least I am sick AND exhausted.

I still love being a mommy.


I love MY daughter.

It feels so weird but yet so right to say MY daughter.

I am a mommy.

OK, I am delirious. Miss P is napping so I am going to try to do the same.

With Sickness and smiles,

Have a great day!  :) 

My chatty Cathy...

Oh how I love her so!
