Done With My First Class and I did the Unthinkable

WOOHOO I am excited! Yesterday was officially my last day of my College Success Online and I passed (of course) lol. Anyway I am happy to finally have this class down and be able to get moving on to the good classes. You know the ones that I am actually going to school for. All in all it was a good class, but I just want to get started with the good stuff.

Besides that I have some other news to share.

Yesterday I did the unthinkable....I took Ashton to get his haircut. I was seriously dreading taking him since well the last time I took him. I always drag out the haircut as long as possible it usually goes something like this. We walk in the door he is fine talks to the lady, she sits him in the chair and then a massive melt down happens. Screaming and throwing a HUGE tantrum seriously as soon as she sits him in the chair. Normally I have to sit in the chair with him and hold him down while the lady cuts his hair as fast as possible and not to mention we have NEVER walked out of the hair dressers with him having straight bangs because of the moving around and throwing a fit the whole time they cut his hair, but yesterday was completely different it was like he was a whole new child! He sat in the chair nicely talked to the lady about what he got for Christmas, his favorite colors, told her what his name was and that he liked her name too (Heather). It was AMAZING!

As I was walking in there I was thinking of a plan on how I was going to hold Ashton down with one arm and hold Jadyn in the other arm while they both tried to wiggle away, just to walk out with everyone starring at me and me in complete embarrassment. 

Nope I walked out with neither child screaming both with a smile on there face eating a sucker for being good oh and he has straight bangs :)

Before The Haircut

After The Haircut

Next up is to try to convince Jadyn to get his haircut I asked him yesterday if he wanted to get his done like brother, but he sounded pretty serious when he said NO! He is almost 2.5 years old and has never had a haircut he has always been such a baldy lol. The trip went so well with Ashton I did not want to ruin it by forcing Jadyn to get his cut (the back trimmed) also (he don't have enough hair yet for a full haircut just alot in the back). 

I will have to share some of his pics from when he was younger just to show you what I mean. He didn't even start growing hair until he was almost 2. Maybe tomorrow I will post a picture of Jadyn when he was a little guy he was such a cute little bald baby.

Wordless Wednesday

My Fine Art of Procrastination

Please tell me there are other mother’s out there that have a pile of laundry like this? I mean come I can’t be the only one right?

Yes this is my fine art of procrastination. I admit I am a procrastinator and this is what happens quite frequently in my house  until I can no longer fit anymore in the baskets (which i think is coming soon from the looks of this picture) and I must go on a laundry folding spree to catch up (just to fall behind again).

However it is clean laundry I just always find myself never finding the time to actually fold it once it is clean. I keep telling myself one day I will be an organized mother that always has the laundry folded and neatly in place but until then this is how it shall remain.

P.S: the scribbles all over the bottom basket are Ashton and Jadyn’s fine work of art.

Losing A Best Friend....Really Hurts

So this last week was a pretty tough week for me :( I lost a best friend that I liked to call Snoopy. She was my first pet I ever owned my dad bought her for me when I was 10 years old. Well this last week she got extremely sick, so we took her to the vet and found out she had diabetes, well they told me she had a 50/50 chance, but with her heart murmur that she was diagnosed with a few years ago would complicate things and they were worried about heart failure and the stress it would put on her with the medicines they had to give her. When we took her in she had lost 20lbs in a matter of days, she was not walking really at all, she had gone pretty much blind, and was throwing up everything she ate, and her sugar was at 500 (norm for dogs I guess is 100). Well they kept her there for a couple nights and was able to get her sugar down and get her all leveled out, but she was still not pulling through she was getting worse. When I went to visit her she was still not eating and at this point she would not even respond when I said her name, like I wasn't even there. She wasn't walking just laying there. She did try to get up to come and see me but she could only take a few steps. So it was then that the vet said that they really did not see any will in her left to live, and that I should consider putting her down. At that point I could not believe what  I was hearing or seeing. She was so miserable and I was faced with the decision to keep trying or if it was just her time to go, as much as I wanted to keep trying to see if she would pull out of it , I had to keep thinking is this what she really wants? or am I just being selfish trying to keep her here? The decision was so tough. Just last week she was running around like the old snoopy I knew and seemed perfectly fine. Ultimately I knew it was best to let her go...I miss her soooo much...She would have been 11 years old this April 9th and I don't even remember a time when she wasn't around. She has been my best friend since I was just a little girl. I never thought that loosing a pet would be so difficult...after all everyone says well "it's just a dog" but to me she was so much more than that. She was my best friend no matter what I said or did and was always there when I was down and out all those years growing up. I just thought she had another few years left and the fact that it all happened so fast I think was what really hurts. The fact that I was not expecting it or prepared for it. So here is a poem that I want to share with everyone. When I read it it is sad but yet at the same time helps me realize I made a good choice and what was best for her. It is called
"The Last Battle"

If it should be that I grow frail and weak,

And pain should keep me from my sleep,

Then will you do what must be done,

For this, the last battle, can't be won.

You will be sad I understand,

But don't let grief then stay your hand,

For on this day, more than the rest,

Your love and friendship must stand the test.

We have had so many happy years,

You wouldn't want me to suffer so.

When the time comes, please, let me go.

Take me to where to my needs they'll tend,

Only, stay with me till the end

And hold me firm and speak to me,

Until my eyes no longer see.

I know in time you will agree,

It is a kindness you do to me.

Although my tail its last has waved,

From pain and suffering I have been saved.

Don't grieve that it must be you,

Who has to decide this thing to do;

We've been so close,we two, these years,

Don't let your heart hold any tears.


In Loving Memory of Snoopy....You were my best friend until the end...Love You & Miss You Girl
