Preggo and Toothless ...lol

Soo... Tuesday i had a ba toothache , but took some Tylenol hoping it would go away. No such luck, by 10pm Tuesday night I was in a huge amount of pain and nothing could stop it. I cried and that just made it worse. I walked around the house alllll night long crying and getting in the shower (to let the water run over my face) I tried laying down and it hurt worse. I tried baby orajel and to no avail i finally called my OB and the nurse told me I need to get to the dentist first thing in the AM ...(not something i wanted to hear) So Wednesday morning Stephen and I were off to the dentist. I still had only had 30 minutes of sleep so needless to say I was cranky , crying , hurting and exhausted!! Well they ended up pulling my molar on the back right side and next week they have to pull the top one. It was soooo infected and soo gross. They ended giving my 7 shots just to numb it so they could get it out. YUCKO. Well When the numbing meds wore off and I was @ home the pain started again and IT WAS SOOO MUCH WORSE. Because the other tooth is infected too it just aggravated that one ... grrrr well they let me up my meds (Tylenol with codeine) to 2 pills ever 4 hours, that finally kicked in @ 3 am THURSDAY MORNING!!!!!! SO IN 48 HOURS I HAD MAYBE 1 HOUR OF SLEEP. GRRRRRRRRRRR
But I finally fell asleep and slept most of the day yesterday. I feel a little bit better today. But I am super super sleepy. Well thanks for listing to me whine LOL... Love you guys :)

Ain't No Reason- Brett Dennen

There ain't no reasons things are this way
It's how they've always been and they intend to stay
I can't explain why we live this way
We do it everyday
Preachers on the podiums speaking to saints
Prophets on the sidewalks begging for change
Old ladies laughing from the fire escape, cursing my name

I got a basket full of lemons and they all taste the same
A window and a pigeon with a broken wing
You can spend your whole life working for something
Just to have it taken away

People walk around pushing back their desks
Wearing pay checks like necklaces and bracelets
Talking 'bout nothing, not thinking about death
Every little heart beat, every little breath

People walk a tight rope on a razor's edge
Carrying their hurt and hatred and weapons
It could be a bomb or a bullet or a pin
Or a thought or a word or a sentence

There ain't no reasons things are this way
It's how they've always been and they intend to stay
I don't know why I say the things I say,
But I say them anyway

But love will come set me free
Love will come set me free
I do believe Love will come set me free
I know it wil lLove will come set me free Yes


The wind blows wild and I may move But politicians lie and I am not fooled
You don't need no reason or a 3 piece suit
To argue the truth

The air on my skin and the world under my toes
Labor is stitched into the fabric of my clothes
Chaos and commotion wherever I go
Love, I try to follow

But love will come set me free
Love will come set me free
I do believe
Love will come set me free
I know it will
Love will come set me free

Thanks to Brandi who reads my blog always :) I have received a blog award. I am super excited. Thanks soooo much Brandi! But since Brandi's and Chassidy's are pretty much the only blogs I read and they both already have awards I don't have anyone to give them too.

How much do I hate wallpaper..... Let me count the ways............

So Cassie and I started pulling off the wallpaper (or as Amy likes to call it satan's tool) in the master bathroom. I have never seen anything so aggravating in my life! It will not come off in a big strip. It leaves glue on the wall or even better pulls part of the wall off with it!!! How fun! I love it! lol
We tried vinager IT DOES NOT WORK!!! We tried warm water... this seems to be working. But I bought some stuff called DIP today... it's blue gunk and it is supposed to work. We shall see, I had to take a day off before I lose my mind.... Anyway... here are some pictures .... Enjoy I know I did.

3 is the magic number

HUmmm.... THIS IS GREAT

For I fully expect and hope that I will never be ashamed, but that I will continue to be bold for Christ, as I have been in the past. And I trust that my life will bring honor to Christ, whether I live or die.


Philippians 1:20

Do not be afraid

So... I was doing my Bible study today and we were reading Mark. About the lady who touches Jesus coat and the leader of the synagogue who's daughter died. Jesus told him "Do not be afraid; JUST BELIEVE" Mark 5:36
I have been dealing with a lot lately concerning God and I. Nothing on his part... all me ... isn't that how it always works?? I am not putting enough time into my relationship with him. I have to work on it harder, like any relationship. But today...when I read this ... it's like a flood came over me. I love him!!! And I know no matter what... I just have to Believe

Even when the rain falls, I know I am washed by the water...............

Brittany & Dakota

Soooo just to let you all know, MY best friend Brittany had a little boy.

His name is Dakota and he is super super cute. It is really starnge though because we have been best friends since we were 6, and now we are mom's lol.

I just wanted to show him off. I love him!

My Uncle Billy

I lost My great Uncle Billy Friday. Exactly two years to the day I lost my Mom. He was really sick and had been battling cancer for almost a year. He was the kind of man that when I was little I thought would never die. I loved him very very much and I know he loved me! He loved My husband dearly!!!! They had lots in common. They both love football, fishing & hunting. He was one of the last four surviving siblings my great grandmother had (she had 10 children WOW) Now there are only three of them left. I am very thankful though he did not have to suffer long. I will miss him terribly as will the rest of my family. Please keep my family in your prayers, especially his two children (Renee & Wesley) and his grandchildren and his other brother and two sisters.

these are pictures we took when we went to see him in June. As you can probably tell he is pretty sick but he still had a wonderful time and we are soo thankful for this special weekend we had with him :)

My Husband the shark

I love this picture. It makes me laugh everytime I look at it :)

TAG , I'M IT AND NO ONE ELSE

Okay... so it is pretty sad that I have just started blogging so I don't know a lot of people. So I am supposed to tag 3 other people I guess, but Chassidy and Brandi have already done this... so... Sorry

Chassidy just tagged me and wanted me to share Five Unimportant things about myself. Soooo here it goes.

1). I am horrified of " Little People" I don't have anything against them and wish them the best in life. But they scare the poop outta me LOL. Here is the kicker.... I am fascinated by the show " Little People Big World" WOW!

2.) I am OCD it hasn't been proven but everything has to be a certain way on my desk and I can't go to sleep if things are on the bathroom counter ...ect... it's bad

3.) I am a hugeeeeeeeeee bargain shopper. Thank to you all who compliment my clothes because 98% of the time I will not buy it unless it's on sale. 100% of the time (I think) my clothes are super cute. My favorite store is the most Ghetto fabulous place on earth "Rainbow" lol

4.) I can type like 100 WPM wow..........

5.) My favorite food are Oyster's , Oyster stew, Oyster Po' Boy's, Fried oyster ... it doesn't matter. Everyone thinks this is gross.

6.) I am OBSESSED with Alligators... maybe it's because Stephen is from Louisiana (lol)
YES I KNOW THERE WERE ONLY SUPPOSED TO BE 5

My Best friend... My Everything My Momma

So ... This is going to be hard to write. Today June 3rd, is my Momma's Birthday. She would be 58. This is one of the hardest days for me since she has been gone. I am super sad today. I miss all the things we shared together. My mother was the most awesome woman you would ever want to meet. With extreme faith, compassion and love. She would have given her life for me... just for me to be happy. That's a whole lot! I can't even begin to comprehend what it the love of a mother is like because I don't have a little baby of my own yet. But I hope I can be half the mom she was. She was and is the most amazing woman I have ever met. I miss her so badly and I can't wait till one day when I see her again. I miss she hugs, her smile, her laugh... her funny jokes, everything. I just miss my Momma. But , I hope she is having a great birthday celebration. I know she wouldn't want me to be sad and cry .... she always told me "God will never put more on you than he knows you can handle" But today... I don't think I can handle a lot. I love you more than anything Momma.

LONGGGGG WEEKEND

SO this weekend was extremely long. But not long enough! Friday night we had the lock in for the youth group. That was lots of fun! The kids had a great time... the girls actually went to sleep about 1:30 and the boys stayed up allllll night. Poor Guys (Stephen, Brad, Chad & Shane) they were very cranky Saturday morning!

We went to see the new Indiana Jones movie with Cassie, Andy, Joesph & Kitty and can I just tell you it was extremely disappointing! I had only seen the the first one, but this movie holds no candle to that! I have since seen temple of doom and that was great too , but "Kingdom of the crystal skull" was not good at all. The action was fantastic! But other than that.... I dunnon.

Yesterday we had a pretty relaxing Memorial day. We went to my dad's and had a fish fry. That was really good! Lots of fattening fried foods. Fish, Hush puppies, Shrimp & French fries! Yummy!

We hung out there until about six and came home. We watched a movie and I was in bed by 9:30. What an old lady.

So here goes....... This is my first time blogging. I hope it isn't to boring. Stephen and I don't have kids yet, so it is just us and our dog (Sissy )& our cat (Vader). I don't have a lot to talk about!

Tonight is the Gravity lock in for our youth group at church. This is going to be AMAZING! I can't wait. Even though poor Lori is going to pass out and leave the rest of us to fend for ourselves. Well, I guess that is it for now. I will try and update tomorrow if I am not exhausted!
