OH what a Day

So today was A DAY.... not an ordinary day... but on of those insanily obnoxious days were every single little thing that you can think of annoys the crap out of you.... DAMN you mother nature.... (sorry for the curse....but it goes along with my day) So I went to bed last night like any other night... until i am awakened to a screaming 3 yr old, saying momma.... can i lay by you....... SURE... why not...... so my little adorable sweet pea snuggles up to me and gets all comfy... so we peacefully go back to sleep .......until .... MOMMY.... Im sorry I wet the bed...... AHHH man..... really? .... SO I got up cleaned my beautiful little one up, and sent her packing straight back unto her bed....... So I change my sheets blankets etc... and snuggle up to loverpants.... and back asleep..... then I hear that oh so precious voice AGAIN.... Mommy .... I had anober accidt .... Oh Kylee.... Seriously.... its only been like 30 minutes ..... and she says ... im beary sweepy mommy.... (I bet you are )..... So i get up and change my love ONCE again..... and get her all snuggled in my bed cuttled up to her daddy... while i go strip her bed... and then FINALLy back to bed for me...... ahhhhhhhhhhh...

(Kylee isnt a bed wetter... its very very rare... however I have found if shes getting sick she tends to wet the bet.... )

So morning comes and its time to get my sweet little darlings up and ready for school, some peoples mornings are peaceful and a wonderful family time... .NOT AT ALL THE CASE HERE AT THE MILES HOUSE... OH NO ..... that would be too easy....

SO my other two little darlings wake up and hit the floor fighting about the color of the cerael and who gets to brush there teeth first..... seriouslly ... your darn teeth are not going to get any less clean if you brush your teeth 2nd... GEEZ>..

So My sweet pea goes to school on friday, so since she was up alot last night I let her sleep a little later before getting her up.. then when i do she is screaming saying my belly hurt reawwy rewwy bad mommy,.... and i got her up and fed her to see if the stomach would feel better.... umm... no shes shreaking on the couch about her tummy while Aubrie and Andrew are playing tug of war over beig first in line by the front door... so i was in straight up meltdown mode.....panic .... KKIIIDDDSSS GGGOOOTTTAAAA GGGOOOO TTTOOOO SSSCCCHHOOLLL. So i rushed them to school while sweet pea wwent back to sleep...

SO my simple day turned up side dowmm.... so while little oone was sleeping i started sewing on Aubries dress for our family pictures tomm ... .and it was rather peaceful.. the bestie came over and we sewed on her swimsuit and it was rather peaceful....

After several naps and only a pop tart to eat all day..... my beautiful little sweet pea is finally feeling much bebber.... THANK YOU LORD...

Marine wife Prayer

Dear Lord,
Give me greatness of heart to see, the difference between duty and his love for me.
Give me the understanding so I may know, when duty calls he must go.
Give me a task to do each day, to fill the time when he is away.
And, Lord, when duty is in the field, please protect him and be his shield.
And, Lord, when he is in foriegn land, keep him safe in your loving hand.
And, Lord, when deployment is long, please stay with me and keep me strong!

A new obsession



My new obession! I love love love it. Loverpants bought it for me for graduation since thanks to the Good Ole Marine Corps hes not going to be able to be here for.... (i am walking early so him will get to see me walk.. but it will be like 3 months early)....

Loverpants has ALWAYS had hobbies, i mean hobby upon hobby upon hobby... which to tell the truth has always annoyed the crap out of me..... like fishing..... umm... i cant get my jollies from putting a discusting worm on a hook and sitting there for hours hoping for a bite... because anyone who knows me knows I severly LACK in the patience area... so fishing is a no...

he hunts, he works on cars, he ties flies for fly fishing, he plays guitars, and he likes to ride motorcycles, whats the ONE thing all this has in common PATIENCE>>>> yep... so not for me... So loverpants has wanted me to find a "hobby" for years, just so i dont pay as close attention to the time and money he spends on his hobbys... Well My dear this is for you.... In the past month in a half I have found 2 hobbys that I am so excited about..... Sewing and this new camera... I love them :)

So thank you Loverpants for the encouragement... and the dolla dolla bills you paid for my hobbys :) I love you :)

Now.... Off to READ the manual!!!!!

Holy Crap... this IS real....

Well it looks like "that" time is approaching again faster than I am quite ready for.... deployment time.... *sigh* didnt I JUST do this.....?!
Lover pants finally got back into my arms in dec and its soo hard to realize I already know and plans are already having to be made for the next one...:( I have tryed to prepare myself since he got home telling myself he was going on the deployment so it wouldnt hurt sooo bad, when i found out for definate it was true... its so sad to think about .... damn deployment... why cant the world be happy and safe and our husbands would be nothing but toy soldiers... :( so not the case....

I thought I was ready for this and the whole darn cycle of deployment emotions... Im not... not in the least... im going to miss him like crazy... im scared and sad and..... I just dont know.. i am overwhelmed... and sad at the thought of within 2 years I would have spent 1 full year without the love of my life... I dont care what anyone says... its SOOO hard being mom AND DAD ... and a fulltime student, and the soccer mom... and every other title i seem to fall under...

I am rapidly finding my self back in the funk i was in last year before he left... luckily we still have time together to make precious memories that will help us through the next monnths... I made it through the last year with some wonderful ladies who were going through the same thing as me... I am surrounded by wonderful people as well as my very best friend who will be going through the exact same thing around the same time frame... so I am sure there will be many good days together as well as many crying nights...

I love you B we can do this..... <3

Sorry guys... its all hitting me at once... its real... its REALLY real

OMG im turning into my mother :)

So I am noticing every day I am more and more like my mom... I love my mom sooo sooo much. But you know as a young adult its always "im not anything like my mom or dad..." YEAH>>> from the time i was big enough to remeber my mom and my nannie were always sewing... and I always watched and found myself overwhelmed..I always wanted to sew like them... but found myself having sewing ADD and gave up trying.... ( why do you think I got kicked out of girl scouts in the 3rd grade when my mom is a seamstress.... WEIRD.... but now beig the old 26 yr old that I am, I understand more and more how i am much more like my momma than I ever realized, and its not such a bad thing. :) Growing up I always thought we were poor and thats why momma made our cloths, truth is we were poor and that IS why she made them however she always said she wanted to make us something special...... With my kidos not so much Andrew because its hard to craft for a boy, but for My beautiful daughters I find myself all the time with the urge to make them something that is the cutest freaking thing you have ever seen.... Often times I have tryed to be crafty and often times... I have failed, I am just not really the artsy fartsy type of gal... although I wanna be... but I have FINALLY found something I can do for my girls!!! I can make them pillowcase dresses... and I am going to make them hair bows to match. here are 2 that I have made and my cute little sewing machine... :) LOVE IT!!!!who would have ever thought someone would get excited over a sewing machine? :) I have been TERRI HOMEMAKER for years... i have mastered cooking and cleaning... ow SEWING :) WOOT WOOT... ( well i havent mastered it but it is really rapidly becoming an obession)

This is the first dress My mom and I made :) too freaking cute!


LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM!!!!!:)




The Zebra dress- The CUTEST FREAKING THING I HAVE EVER SEEN! I DID IT ALL BY MYSELF

So I got the idea today that I would try and make one my self! I think they turned out adorable... I even made my niece one... she loves to be girly!!!!!

Oh Happy Day!

So today is supposed to be a happy day.... Right... I am super duper stoked my family is coming to town for easter! YAY! I cant wait to see them... so I was off to the stores to finish easter baskets and things before they get here tomm.. It was a great day until... Kylee :) lord love her heart she had a melt down in every store we went too... the melt down went from not getting another new pair of sandels at ross to wating this ugly little worm for the flower bed at kirklands, to pitching an all out FIT for CICIs pizza, screaming through target becuase an old lady looked at her wrong... to finally pitching the final fit of the day in Michaels because I wouldnt let her get the instrustrial strength glue... Thank the lord its NAP time! :) so thats my day so far
