Sweeter than Sweet

So yesterday although I was feeling better Mark must have sensed the rough week I was having, and although he had a rough day at work he put my needs first and really showed me what a great husband he is. As I sat down to eat dinner (the first meal that I didn't have children climbing on me or asking me questions) He took Coytt and played with him in the back. Then he let me relax on the couch while he cleaned the kitchen, Coytt's room, and folded the laundry. The best suprise was when I went to go to bed he had made the bed and put a beautiful red rose on my pillow. Of course I cried because I needed his help and I didn't have to ask, and he didn't complain, he just sensed my stress and did a wonderful job of taking a huge load off my shoulders. It is amazing how he can just out of nowhere show me how much he loves and cares for me. There is nothing he could have bought that would have made me feel so loved and appreciated. It was a wonderful end to a rough week.

THE CURE

Well yesterday's post was a little depressing and scary :) I still want some suggestions from everyone else, but for now I have found the three things to fix my mommy blues 1) A good book in a bath 2) a good cry 3) blasting Shania Twain through the house :) My mood today is much better as I look at all the good things I am blessed with. Hey at least I have a home to clean right, some people don't even have that. I have a beautiful baby boy who loves me and is healthy, smart, and all around a great kid. I have a great family and friends!! My husband loves me and helps out around the house more than some husbands. I just need to look at all the positive and get over the rest. Well I gotta go, Coytt wants to dance with his mommy :)

HELP!!!!!!

This past week has definately been a trying one. With Coytt, babysitting kids, school, and a husband life has gotten pretty hectic. Sometimes I wonder if I can do it all. Coytt is finally sleeping through the night (he is a year old) and yet I can't seem to wind down at night enough to sleep through it myself. I go to bed with so many thoughts about what I have to get done and what I didn't get done, I spend most of the night tossing and turning trying to empty my thought filled mind so I can sleep. Does anyone have any tricks they do to sleep at night? One thing is that night time seems to be the only "me" time I truly have so I stay up late trying to enjoy the quiet, but I am so worn out I don't get my homework done, or even feel like reading. I know I sound as if I am whining, and maybe I am but I can really see the toll it is taking on my body. I am snappy with the children, and my husband. I don't seem to have any patience, and it is making me a craky person and that is something I never wanted to be. So if any of you have any stress relieving strategies or ideas please post them!!!!

FINALLY!!!

Well Coytt finally did it! He finally took his first steps!! Yesterday we got him to stand by hisself for a few minutes, but he wouldn't move. Today He was standing alone, and music came on the TV and he started to bounce and dance, well that led to two steps forward and a third to the table in front of him. Mark and I were both home and saw it. Of course I cried (I am such a baby). We were so afraid that one of us was going to miss it, but we were so happy that we were here to share this moment with eachother.
