Disaster at the Mall!!!

So yesterday we were at the Mall doing out yearly outing for my Moms Bday! We were just shopping as usual and I decide to go try some stuff on. Anyway to make a long story short I wacked my head on the dressing room door and blood was gushing everywhere. It was so bad the manager asked if she needed to call 911 lol.... So now I have a huge gash on my head, I look ridiculous and I feel like an idiot. What a eventful night... ha ha

Happy Birthday to my MOM!!!

I just wanted to say a few things about my amazing Mom! Here are a few reasons why she is so special! She is very accepting and forgiving! I know that there isn't anything I could do that would make her not be right there in my corner. She also makes everyone feel special she is always bringing out the positive in people! I know I would not be the same person with out her! I hope I can be as great of a Mother as she was for me!! Love you Mom!

So I was asked for 3 admirable characteristics that describe Dyson. I thought wow I havent thought about that one, he is only 3 years old. The first things that came to mind were independent, caring/sensitive and athletic. The more I started thinking about it the longer the list got. He is outgoing, energetic, a go getter........ I LOVE this boy he is definitely the light of my life. Being a parent is tough, especially being a single parent but seeing your child progress and grow is the most amazing, wonderful thing in the world.

Dyson also went to the doctor for his 3 year old check up the other day and just as we thought super tall and skinny! He is 99%tile for height and 50%tile for weight. He grew 6 inches and gained 6 lbs this last year! Wow that is a lot! If he keeps going as he is he is predicted to be 6'2"!

I am so thankful for the truly Amazing people in my life! I am thankful for the kindness people share with all those around them, the love someone can have for a stranger. I am so thankful for those in my life that make me want to be a better person! Life is short and we definitely need to make the best of it and spend our time with those that bring out the best! I am lucky enough to have a few of those people in my life!!

Christmas Eve is tomorrow and can I just say I am brimming with excitement!!! Dyson's little face glowing with joy will be the best Christmas gift I could ever get!!! Its just so much fun to see the ones you love so happy! This truly is the best time of year!

Being Sick completely sucks! My main symptom is a fever which makes me feel like a sixty year old woman with hot flashes ha ha. It definitely makes me feel so much better when the people who care about you show concern and even just when they ask.... how are you feeling or what can I do to help. I definitely have some great people in my life!!

Alarm Clocks

They are going to be the death of me...... I have never and will never sleep through an alarm. But my problem is I fall asleep in a matter of seconds. So every morning I have to set three alarms in order to get me up and sometimes that doesn't even work. Its an even bigger problem in the winter because it is so cold and that makes me dread getting out of bed and then I lay down for 2 seconds and I am out....

In a way my sleeping in is a good thing, the obvious I get more sleep but on the other hand I end up looking like a lion at work ha ha....

Oh the joys....... I guess my best solution would just be to go to bed earlier! Hmmm with my busy life I don't know if that is possible ha ha

Im ready!! I ready for a new beginning.... I feel that I have learned so much over the past year! I have figured out who I am and what I want! I have really figured out what is most important in life! I am happy with my life and I am happy with what I have. I still feel that a peice is missing that I can't wait to fill but I am truely happy. Life is good!

Dating....

Well it is exhausting, time consuming, heart wrenching, exciting, amazing, enthralling and the list goes on...........

I love the Christmas season! Christmas Music, Lights, evergreen trees, mistletoe, presents, cookies and hustle and bustle, it all Just makes me smile!!

"Attitude" is Everything

Dyson with attitude! He is such a sweet boy but he definitely knows what he wants and how he wants it! He is very independent which is hard for me because I swear we are always in a hurry and I feel like I don't have time to wait. But if I even try to help him he has a freak out and it takes longer than if I let him do it his self. So I am learning patients. Dyson and his attitude could drive me crazy sometimes but then I step back and remember he is a mini me and I just have to smile!

I love this boy!!!

So tired! I definitely have sleep deprivation! Being a Single Mom, working 40 hrs a week and Dating is exhausting!!! and very fun all at the same time. But sleep is the first thing to go when I don't have time.... Hopefully this will not be my life forever but for now I am enjoying it!!:)

Tonight is the Christmas ball and We are going all out formal!! I love dressing up this is so exciting!!

My little Man has now decide to have a little separation anxiety or something.... For the past I'd say 2 weeks every time I drop him off in the morning He has a little freak out.

Here is how it goes " I Love you Mommy" "Hold Me" " Give me a kiss on the lips" " I Need a Hug" and he stalls and stalls.

I say" babe have fun today, I love and ill be back to get you in a little while"

He says "No Mom No"

" Dys Mom has to go to work I love you"

Then the real fun starts... who ever is watching him has to hold him as he is screaming and kicking and crying " No Mom No"

Wow it breaks my heart I wanna cry every day and the only way I can get out of there is to turn around plug my ears and run, otherwise I would never make it to work.

Ok so now here is the funny part... several times he has done this in the morning I go to pick him up and he doesn't want to go home. I say "Dys its time to go"

He says" Not yet Mom" and gets a little angery when I finally make him leave.

Oh the joys of being a Mom! Its the best most rewarding thing in thing in the world!!! I love it!!

I am so thankful for my beautiful life and all the blessings I am given! I am thankful for people that put in effort and try to become better! That is what this life is all about!

Santa BABY!!

I took Dyson to see Santa and I must say it was the cutest sweetest thing ever! He was so excited and he told Santa he was a good boy and you guessed it.... He said he wanted 3 Buzz LightYears. Now I am just thinking wow I really would be ridiculous if I got him 3 Buzz LightYears..... hmmmm what to do? I am contemplating

The weekend is finally here and can I say I am already so enjoying it! This weekend is much needed after a lonnnnnng work week!

Can I just say the Festival of Tees is one of my favorite things to do around Christmas time. We went last night and it was so fun!! My goal one of these days is to create an amazing tree to donate and also be able to purchase one! One Day, maybe in the distant future I will reach that goal!! If you have never been you must go it is such a fun event and for such a good cause.
