Well. We got our taxes back.
And with them I bought me a toy.
I bought a Nikon D-40X Camera.
I love it.
What better place to play with it than at my moms.
Snow. Horses. Country. A baby who refused to look at me
when I am taking his picture.

Well.. What can I say.. I am a freak of nature.
I went to the Eye Doctor on Saturday because I have been getting bad headaches at work and knew that I needed glasses.. about 4 years ago I went in to the Eye Doctor and he gave me glasses. Well the glasses never worked right for me so I never wore them, they almost make me sea sick. Even on land!
So I pile myself on a Saturday morning to the doc at 9am. I know I am crazy, let me just say that is my day to sleep in, so I pretty much refused to shower/get ready or dress my child. So I was in my recreational pants, hehe, and Roman was in his PJs. When you get up at 5 everyday during the week Saturday is your day to be a lazy ol crusty bum. Thats me!
So I get in to the exam and low and behold.. I have 1 perfect 20/20 eye.. and 1 not so perfect 20/400 eye. I mean come one, who only has on bad eye??
My dad asked if I got to wear a patch. Unfortunately for the neighbor kids, no.
I get to wear ONE just ONE contact.
I don't know why.. but this disturbes me on so many levels.
I guess I broke the mold on this one.. but I normally do anyways.
I do not like wearing my one contact. Its uncomfortable, and itchy, and annoying. Not to mention I can not for the life of me get it in. Or out. Saturday afternoon at Costco me and my mom did emergency surgery to get it out in the bathroom for 30 minutes because it was giving me a panic attack. I hate being crazy.
Among other things, I went to a lovely movie this weekend with the girls from bookclub. It was one of those movies that gave me warm and fuzzy thoughts. It was Becoming Jane.. basically an autobiographical tale of Jane Austins life. I left the theater remembering why I love movies so much and what they do to me when I see a good one.
Yesterday at Church I was blessed with the experience of subbing for a class of 8 Six Year Olds. Wow, note to self....never have sextuplets plus 2. (not sure what you would call 8)
Another note to self.. try to figure out what ages read and what don't. Needless to say the class participation I had planned didn't go well seeing that they can't read. And if they can its 3 letter words. Good thing they can't read 4 letter words. Anyways...
Tonight I start Weight Watchers...again...for the 3rd time.
This time I am going with a friend (love ya Lace) so hopefully between the 2 of us we will have enough motivation for one of us and be able to make it to meetings and succeed. I hate diets. I just want to eat yummy food and not exercise and look like Victoria Beckham. Is that too much to ask? I mean come on! So every Tuesday morning I will be tracking my weight loss on here.. so I will have some motivation to do good. Wish me luck! If you know any super fun, easy and exciting ways to lose weight that involve shopping and eating what ever the hell you want let me know. Thanks! Bye!

1. To organize my house. Seriously.. why can't I do it? What is wrong with me? Am I mental? It live able, but not okay. GOSH!
2. Drink more water.. I drink seriously about 8 ounces total of water a day. I love POP.
3. To look like this sometime this year.. only a tad bit modester. (is that a word) 
4. Try to ease my bitchiness. It would be alot easier if everyone catered to my every demand.
What are your resolutions?

We had an amazing Christmas. Just to be together as a family and be healthy and alive is such a reason to celebrate these holidays. I just returned from a friend's baby shower who received the ultimate gift this Christmas. She was blessed with a baby. Like me this sweet girl has been literally through the ringer when it comes to trying to be a mother. After failed fertility treatments she and her spouse decided to try to adopt. She found a baby boy on her agency's website and just felt that this little boy was supposed to be hers. The birth mother was uncertain because they were LDS and decided to go with another couple. Well my friends grandma passed away this past week and before she died my friend asked her to help her get a baby here fast, well after her grandmothers funeral and en route to the burial, she had a strong desire come over her to contact the agency. When she called them, the birth mother had called at the same time and said I changed my mind, I want the LDS couple. Well that was on Monday.. baby boy was born Wednesday and is now home with my friend, an amazing sweet girl with a special husband and they are just over the moon and so thankful and amazed and just gracious.
When I was at her shower tonight I just could feel the spirit so strong and kept getting choked up with emotion, just understanding that God did have a plan for this special little family and that our family members who have passed do have a hand it what happens to us here on earth. Having said all this.. it just takes me back so much to what happened with us last year at this same time. When we got Roman we were just so grateful and in shock that you almost can not even think straight. Talk about the best Christmas present ever. Also at this shower was my sweet cousin Sandy who's little boy Jett passed away in August. He like our Brittan was not of this world. Spending time with Sandy reminds me to be grateful that we have the gospel in our lives, reminds me to never forget that there is ALWAYS someone who understands your pain, and never forget that terrible, sad things happen to the best people sometimes. This holiday season.. I am counting my many blessings!
