thank you pinterest :)

Proof that Pinterest is not a complete waste of time.  This neat idea kept my boys occupied long enough for me to clean up the kitchen and check my email in peace...

Add food coloring to shaving cream, give them brushes, and let them at it!

They had a BLAST! And, I think got relatively half-way clean in the process.

1 week to go...

Only 1 week til Christmas...  Been spending  waaay too much time on Facebook and Pinterest - can't seem to focus on anything that requires more brain power :/  Can't concentrate on work or Christmas or keeping the house clean or paying the bills on time.  Too many things running through my mind - the past, the present, the future, good memories, bad memories, what if?, why?, why not?, what the hell?...  So, rather than deal with that I've let myself get sucked into the complete mindlessness of Pinterest (which I highly recommend as an escape by the way).  On the plus side, I've found some really cute craft ideas for the boys.  I have them "pinned" and ready to go for NEXT year when I'm planning on having the energy and the holiday spirit to actually get something done :)

Looking forward to starting over in 2012 - brand new year, brand new life and hopefully a happier one :)

The boys are so excited about Christmas, and I'm determined to make it the best one ever for them :)  I am so proud of how they've adjusted to everything over the past several months, even with their world being turned upside down.  They don't deserve what they've been through, but they are my tough little guys.  They still hurt my feelings and make my cry, but they make me smile and laugh even more...

Merry Christmas from our new and improved family of 3! :)

Not So Peachy...

Even after the boys fell asleep tonight, I stayed in their beds smelling their hair (that I still use baby shampoo on).  It breaks my heart that my only 2 babies belong to someone I no longer have a life with - even though I don't want that life...  Does that make any sense at all??

Rough day, rough night - Tomorrow will be better! :)

Look what my sweet Wyatt made for me today!
