Changes

On the new year I wrote that my life was going to be on Hiatus for a while. Well, in some ways it still is, but it is changing. You see just before Christmas my husband of 8 yrs (partner of 18!) told me he was no longer in love with me. I was devastated. There are alot of details that go into the story, I will not go into detail here but to steal a line from Maggie on Just between you and me, he left me for an ugly woman. Really he did. and the kicker is is that he has never even met this woman in person! So he threw away 18 good years for someone he has never met! Well ladies his loss! It has taken me a while to get to that point and I know I'm not even half way there! I have a long road ahead of me but I will survive it.
  It has taken me a long time to write this post because after he told me I had the hopeful feeling that he would see what he was doing and tell me that he was wrong and we would reconcile. Well, now if he decides that he is wrong there is no reconciling for me, I don't want him. I'm not going to be the stupid girl that sits and waits for someone who doesn't have respect for her. Oh no, I will find another and I will make sure I'm treated right because I have a lot of love to give and the next man who is lucky enough to be with me will be a lucky man!
  Now I am focusing on moving on and taking care of my kids (we have 2) They are the most important things in my life right now and I thank god that I have them because to have to go through this alone would be harder. I'm going to be changing the name of my blog, I haven't decided what it should be yet so stay tuned!

Happy New year

A brief Happy New Year, I am moving into the new year a different person. My life is on hiatus right now there are some changes that are going on that I will fill you in on in the coming weeks. Just keep me in your prayers (if you pray) or in your thoughts (if you don't) and hope for the best. Thank you my friends.

O' Christmas tree

Our Christmas tree is up!

I absolutely love having a real tree, we (Hubby and I)  had a fake one only once year in our 15 yrs of being together.

While the fake one was pretty it could not top the real trees we've shared in all these years.

I'm nervous about this tree though, since the weekend we got it, it has been shedding like crazy!

I must sweep up 10,000 needles a day!

I really hope its not bald by the time Christmas gets here!

Every year we get a couple of new ornaments for the tree, there are no themes.

We buy whatever suits our fancy and whatever the feeling is that we are feeling at that moment.

I will share some pictures of our favorites in the coming days!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

*I absolutely adore these little dolls my husband will find me fawning over them on the computer for hours!*

Christmas projects and boys turning 4!

We had a great weekend! 

My dear sweet hubby brought the Christmas decorations

up from the garage for me!

We celebrated my nephew's birthday who just turned 4 this month!

And we taught the kids the age old custom

of turning marshmallows into snowmen!

It was a fun way to get ready for the holiday!

Getting ready...

Today I wanted to start decorating for Christmas.

I mean really decorating, getting a tree too!

We don't have a fake tree (never will!)

Not that theres anything wrong with having a fake tree, I just don't want one.

So anyway back to what I was saying, I really wanted to start decorating today but the sad fact is, is that I can no longer carry the decorations up from the garage. They have gotten too heavy for me to lift!

So I thought of the next best thing!

The kids were bored (you know the kind of bored where not even the video games kept them occupied!) I had pine cones and glue and glitter. Well put 2 and 3 together and I had a half an hour of non bored kids!

They made so many pretty pine cones I can't wait to hang them up!

We may even give some out for Christmas gifts!

Till Next time!

Why hello there!

I have been such a bad blog owner,

I wanted a blog,

I promised to feed and water and play with it

 I hemmed and hawed over what to name it,

and when I got it I let it sit in the corner until it withered like my house plants

(that I really should water!)

So many things have happened during this month that I really do have lots to tell,

but it will have to wait because girl has a playdate

and I'm watching them playing at the park!
