Whiny Britches

This is my view every day in rush hour DFW traffic.  Mr. Whiny McWhinester.  I mean seriously….this kid beats all in the whining department.  Is this what they mean when they say “terrible twos”???  Oy…I need a chill pill every day when I get home.

Thank you all for your kind words and prayers from yesterdays post.  If it’s meant to be it will happen, but I know God always has us right where He wants us!
I finally found my Fuction drinks again.  I love these things…they are magic.  For realz.
They had them at Sprouts.  Thanks for saving me Sprouts.

Can we talk a minute about Smash.  OMG….the season finale was everything I thought it would be and I’m so glad Karen didn’t back down.  Karen had her moment to shine and I was SO happy about that!  I can’t wait until next season starts back up again.  Smash was probably my favorite new show this fall.
The drama, the singing, the dancing, everything was so fun to watch.  If you haven’t seen Smash I’m sure you can watch it online or Netflix it or something….
I’m actually sort of caught up at work.  That is unheard of for me.  I’m finally starting to feel comfortable in my new position and I feel like I have a good grasp on things.  I work with an amazing group of folks and I’m so thankful!  Speaking of work….I better get back to that…….

 The purse I carried while in Europe is from Thirty-One Gifts and I love it 🙂
It was the perfect travel purse!

Blah Blah Blah

A bunch of random randomness today.  I have a lot going on right now…I’m sort of stressed out and my anxiety level has been teetering on overload.  At least I didn’t get barfed on while walking out the door for work this morning right? 
Anyway- Got my much hyped about Gossip Girl Birchbox edition in the mail.  I liked most of what I got.  I don’t really understand the body lotion.  It’s tinted.  Is it supposed to give you color or something or is it lotion? eh.  I do LOVE the Stila sparkly eyeliner.  It’s very easy to apply and it’s much more fun than regular ole eyeliner.  It’s does have a copper sparkle to it.
I also got some stationary, Dior perfume, shampoo, lotion, & Stila eyeliner:
The eyeliner is much more sparkly in person
This little booger is finally feeling better thank the Lord!
Isn’t it weird how much Connor looks like the cover model on DFW Child Magazine???

 WE had Mexican last Friday night with our friends Kindra & Clint.  We celebrated T’s birthday and ate our weight in cheese dip.  What would I do without queso???

 GroopDealz has these adorable chevron party bags on sale today (20) for $4.50

Well, I better quit messing around and get back to work.  If you think of it can you say a prayer for our family….there may be a job opportunity for Terence and it would really change our life and if it’s God’s will I know it will happen.  He’s gone in for 2 interviews and we think it would be a great opportunity for him.  I stress too much.  But I know all will happen in good timing…..

Mother’s Day 2012

We didn’t have a very traditional mother’s day this year.  I picked up Connor on Friday after work and he was burning up.  When I got home we took his temperature and he was running a really high fever.  He was pretty whiny and cuddly all weekend.  Saturday Terence took him to the pediatrician.  He did a strep test and we got some antibiotics.  Yesterday morning he finally started acting more like himself and we were pretty happy about that! 🙂  Poor kid hardly ate anything…that is the only thing that worries me when he gets sick, I worry he’s getting enough to eat.  It was hard to get him to even drink water. 
 
On Sunday we finally got out of the house and we took a few pictures outside:
 
 

Oh Lord thank you for this child you’ve so lovingly given to me….I pray I can raise him right…and his life is used to honor you.

Terence & Connor got me this sweet Willow Tree figure.
 

I also got a Godiva cheesecake and just about made myself sick.  It was worth every.single.calorie.  Ha ha ha!  I’m sad we didn’t make it to church, but they don’t like sick babies in the nursery :/  I love my little family so much, through the good times and in bad.  I have the most loving husband who keeps me in line & loves me with all my faults and I have a precious son.  I’m thankful to God every day. 

I hope ya’ll had a great mother’s day too!
Visit NerdWallet for a great Mother’s Day contest!

Pampered Chef Giveaway!

I love Pampered Chef.  I own a few of their products and they’ve held up over the years and they all work really well for our lifestyle.  One of the products I really love is this cut-n-seal sandwich cutter.  My mother in law has one and I’ve been wanting one for awhile now…

My sister in law makes these really good pancakes with nutella in the middle.  It sort of looks like this:

You can do this with pancakes, bread, or whatever you want.  Just fill the inside, then cut and seal it and you have what the kids call a “happy cake”!  It’s a lot of fun and really easy to make with the cut-n-seal. 

My good friend Nicole is allowing me to giveaway a cut-n-seal to a reader 🙂

Just follow instuctions below and enter to win!

I’d love to see what all of you make with the cut-n-seal…..I’m sure it will be something yummy!
