I'm boring and a rambler

But I like it like that.

Happy Veteran's Day!

I'm very thankful for those fighting for us and for those who fought for us long ago. Please keep up the hard work.

Carolina Son is currently sleeping in his crib and Carolina Boy is working on making some bracelets. He weaves bracelets from paracord. He does watchbands, keychains, bracelets and all sorts of nifty things.

I am now the proud owner of an upper respiratory infection. I've been waking up constantly at night with an extremely sore throat from sinus drainage. And then when I wake up, my head feels like it will explode.

Sounds lovely, huh?

Be jealous.

Sore throat

Sometimes I hate this time of year. When the weather turns cooler, I almost ALWAYS end up with a sore throat. I think it's due to sinus drainage. But poor Carolina Son has a pretty wet cough that won't go away. We finally were able to get him his seasonal flu shot on Halloween.

Speaking of Halloween, I've got some pictures to post!

At work, we were a bunch of crayons. Of coure I was the blue one, because that's my favorite color.

I can't believe Thanksgiving is in less than 3 weeks, so that means Christmas is less than 2 months away! It always sneaks up on me.

Not Me! Monday

It was not me who, while going to eat at Cold Stone Creamery, saw a jar labeled "tasting spoons" and picked one up. While it was on it's way to my mouth (because i taste my spoons first!) the guy working there said "Uh maam? Those have already been used!" My eyes got huge and i dropped that spoon in a hasty manner! Sammie and i giggled hysterically while we picked out our ice cream and mix ins.

It was also not me who pondered aloud whether or not i should use cover up on Connor's nose after he had a run in with the wheel of a tricycle. He has fall pictures at his daycare tomorrow and it looks like someone sliced some skin off his nose, because, you know, that's what happens when wheels of tricycles come in contact with little noses.

I won't be using coverup by the way.


It was guess who? Not me! who REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY enjoyed dressing up as a zombie for an early Halloween party this past weekend. It came me an excuse to put on makeup and make myself look AWFUL because i didn't brush or wash my hair! Hehe, zombies aren't supposed to smile though. I had a hard time with that concept.




Me and my zombie love

Fish Sticks, boys, and pumpkins

I'm hovering over my kitchen counter waiting for Connor's fish sticks and tater tots to finish in the toaster oven. While he's eating, i'm fixing some broccoli and cheese soup along with some grilled cheese sandwiches.

I just peeked into the living room where Connor is watching Max and Ruby, and he is sprawled out across our ottoman with his head down. Poor boy looks so sleepy. But everytime i ask him if he's okay its "i'm okay mama!"

Yum the timer dinged so the fish sticks and tots are finshed! I'm off to let them cool.

Along came a boy....


At the pumpkin patch last Saturday

Not Me! Monday

It was not me who scolded my mother in law for unloading and loading back the dishwasher because I did not do it yet and I did not want to seem the messy type. Because my house is always clean and my dishes are never dirty. My house stays immaculately clean at all times even though I work full time.

Yeah.

It was also not me who may or may not have accidently or not accidently spilled birdseed all over the basement floor. It is also possible that I did or morelikelythannot clean up the mess because I was tired from mowing the grass or weed eating the yard.

Ah it feels better getting that out!

Welcome to my Carolina World!

Welcome! This is my first blog and my first post.

I'm a twenty something year old wife and mother from North Carolina. I've been married 5 and a half years and my husband and I have an adorable 2 and a half year old son. I work in health care and my husband is in law enforcement. Our son works on being the typical toddler. Read: he runs around the house cheering about cartoons. And while we are working on potty training, he gets up from the potty and runs around the house naked jabbering about blankets.

My life is fun, as currently I'm making funny noises at the boy and he's just grinning at me like I've just run away from the looney bin. He's hysterical. I never knew kids were so funny until I had one of my own.

Please bear with me as I learn the blogging world. Any tips and suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Thanks and welcome to my world of being a working wife and mother!
