Bulletpoint Friday

I've noticed a bulletpoint trend here in the blog world so I decided to make today my bulletpoint day. Here we go.

• B  left about an hour ago to go hunting and I already miss him..  : (
• I finally caught up on all my blogs in my google reader. I like this November blog month because its nice to have so many different topics to read about.
• I want a new camera soooooo bad for Christmas. I LOVE taking pictures and I really want to do it more but I feel like I need a good camera to start with.
• Has anyone heard of GIMP? It's a photo editor and everyone rants and raves about it but I can't figure it out for the life of me.
• I want someone to tell me how to take a picture where the subject is in focus but everything around it is out of focus.
• I wish that fall lasted longer than a few months.
• No one ever told me how hard the teething stage was. Thanks a lot
• I love to cook and want to start a recipe blog.... hmmmm
• It sucks when you have one nice vehicle and one crappy one and then your other half goes out of town and leaves you with the crappy vehicle. UGH
• I swear someone took all their leaves and dumped them on our lawn. The other day the trees were bare and the leaves were picked up and now it's like we never raked. (and by we I mean Brent)
• There is this guy across the street that is obsessed with his leaf blower. He blows all hours of the night. and he's been doing it since the snow melted. He blows everything even the snow off his truck. He just loves that damn blower.
• I can't wait for Jake to sit up. I pray that everyday will be the day. Because of his blindness he is delayed in many areas but man can he play his piano..

That's all I got for now...

Thoughts to Ponder

I wanted to share something I found online for my TFT. These are great thoughts to ponder.

• Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be grateful for that gift.

• When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we look so long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened for us.

• The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with, never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best conversation you've every had.

• It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's also true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

• Giving someone all your love is never an assurance that they'll love you back! Don't expect love in return; just wait for it to grow in their heart but if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours. It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, and a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

• Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that fades away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.

• There are moments in life when you miss someone so much that you just want to pick them from your dreams and hug them for real!

• Dream what you want to dream; go where you want to go; be what you want to be, because you have only one life and one chance to do all the things you want to do.

• May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trials to make you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to make you happy.

• Always put yourself in others' shoes. If you feel that it hurts you, It probably hurts the other person, too.
  

• The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything; they just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

• Happiness lies for those who cry, those who hurt, those who have searched, and those who have tried, for only they can appreciate the importance of people who have touched their lives.

• Love begins with a smile, grows with a kiss and ends with a tear.

• The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you can't go on well in life until you let go of your past failures and heartaches.

• When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was smiling. Live your life so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is crying.

Wednesday Works or Woof Wednesday

I realized with all of us blogging every single day in November our topics may get sorta out there or really reaching. I decided to share some thoughts on my dog Gizmo for my topic on Wednesday Works. Some of you may have read an older post on Gizmo and if not you can click here.

Before Jake was born Gizmo was my life. I was sorta obsessed with him. I thought of him and my old dog Gus as my children. As soon as Jake was born my feelings changed and all the things I thought were cute were now not so much. Don't get me wrong I do love Gizmo but it's like a screw went loose the minute Jake walked in the door. Everyone says it's jealousy and I'm sure that's the case seeings as how he used to get hours of cuddle time and after Jake it turned into minutes. It's strange to me how my kid can scream for hours and my nerves are still okay and then the minute I trip over my dog I lose it.

What I would like my family to work on is finding more patience for our four legged furry friend that we once adored. Brent used to have hour long cuddle sessions with Giz and I would get jealous now the sight Giz makes Brent scream. I feel bad for my little buddy and I would like to get back what we once had. So to you Gizmo this is your Mom saying I promise to try harder if you promise to not.....

Run out in the street almost giving me a heart attack
Lick  Jake's face and head
Jump over Jake's face when you hear someone at the door
Eat the garbage
Tear up the diaper bag
Pee on Jake's toys
Attack the vacuum
Take out every single toy you have in your toy box and not play with any of them(and then I trip)

If you can work on these things I will give you more cuddle time.

HodgePodge Halloween Monday

I have sooo many pictures to post so I decided to make today a hodge podge Halloween picture day.

PS.... I don't know if anyone else had this problem but blogger switched the way everything is set up so posting all these pictures took much longer than it should have.

Jake at Zoo Boo

Anyone that knows Jake knows how he HATES to hold up his head. This was as good as I could get until he started screaming. Oh well. Still cute!

Jake and Daddy picking out pumpkins

Look how good Ton Man sits

NaBloPoMo

November is National Blog Posting Month and I decided to try it. I did almost forget and would have failed before I even started.
I'm not sure how long I will make it or if I will remember to blog everyday but wish me luck.. I've been saving a lot of pictures to have blog topics.
So to all of you that are going to try this with me. Good Luck..

Rain rain go away...

Will it stop raining sometime before the snow comes??? Geez.. It's so dark and gloomy out but we're not going to let that bring us down.

I swear there is nothing better than waking up to a happy baby talking through the baby monitor. I think it's one of my favorite sounds. We had a great nights sleep last night which is nice because the night before Jake was not happy. Those darn teeth. UGH.

So I decided to work my ass off on having a blog that is some what interesting to read. Maybe then I will get some followers(hint hint). I love posting about Jake and the new things he is doing but that is not the only reason I have a blog. I need an outlet and I decided this is it. Most people go to work and get to talk with their co-workers about what's going on in the world, celebrity gossip, pet peeves, etc... When you are a stay at home Mom it's hard to not lose your mind. So I decided to be proactive with my sanity and blog. We'll see how long it takes for me to let life get so busy and I forget about my blog once again. To help me out I decided to try and participate in NaBloPoMo(national blog posting month). Would anyone like to join me?

I've actually decided to make it a contest to get some participants. This is actually harder than you think. I am not sure if I can do it. So if you are a reader of mine and you are in my google reader and you post every single day in November at the end of the month I will put your name in a drawing and if I pick you I will send you a prize.. I promise it will be a good one.

So good luck to all my fellow bloggers. I look forward to reading your blogs.

Kim
