Life happens

I think I am officially off my hiatus! I really didnt mean to have one but as we all know life happens!  In November Benjamin turned 3, Cloee 2 and Jaxsen 1!  Then thanksgiving then a fun challenge when i had a panic half way through bc my brides maid dress was literally 4-5 inches away from closing and tried starving and hcg and other things for quick alternatives and ended up having to have my dress signigicantly altered, gaining more weight and being miserable!  Christmas with a million sets of families, stomach bugs, flus, headaches, er trips, urgent care trips and the list goes on!  Its been pure craziness!  I just wanted to take a few mins and share a few fun pics and a little of the craziness with you!

First off besides being totally mad at the fatness my body has stored on (that will be another post too) I am in the I totally hate my hair stage and why the heck did I ever cut it off!  I had a horrible experience with my last appointment (will share in another post) and just cant get to be ok with it!

Today I tried something new and I was asked 'Arent you going to fix your hair?' Haha!

 

 

  This is Jax, he is now 14 months old and a total biggie piggie!  Here he is eating a waffle! Eesh! I dont want my kids to have these bad habits lol!

 

 

 The kids all got new house shoes for christmas! Benjamin calls these his tiger feet and getting him to wear them is a serious fight! haha

 Heres our chunky monkey sleeping like a man! haha! Hes too cute!

Benjamin has been a total ham lately!  love it! He sits like this then says.. Mommy do you know what im thinking?

Followed by something totally random like 'i think you have a chicken in your eye?' lol

My princess had the stomach bug for a whole day and this is her just snuggling me she is too sweet for words!

Just a little catch up.. cant wait to get back into a serious routine!  One where things make since, where my laundry is somewhat caught up and where I can have a little down time to sit and read all the blogs I love!!!  Talk to you soon! Thanks for stopping by and reading and Im looking forward to sharing so much more with you soon!

Amazed

Holy cow! It's Thursday! This week has flown by! I started my part time job on Monday and all I can say is refreshing!
I'm only going to be working less than 20 hours a week outside of the home and able to do stuff from home too so it's a sweet deal!
A friend of mine owns a massage and spa and I am her new manager! I love it just for the simple fact of it feels like vaca haha!
I adore my babies and adore being home with them as much as possible but it really is nice to get out and have a break. For most of 3 years I've been home 24/7 with them. And over a year of it all alone, because of deployment.

I can't even begin to describe to you the change in perspective of everything. The time with my kids is more quality because I'm away from them some. They are more affectionate and listen more because they have a chance to miss me and visa versa!

However I hate the time away from my hubs! But that will be fixed in about 3 weeks with a very exciting opportunity for him! Will share more later!

Yesterday we spent the day at an exotic animal park and it was amazing! We Aw dozens of animals, more than our zoo for sure! We were within 5 feet of everything which was awesome and we had awesome family time!
Here are some fun pics!
Will post more tomorrow! This week had just been crazy!
