Blizzard Blog Day 9
Saturday, February 13, 2010
Well I lost it...I know every mom has been there before, but I feel alone on this one. My throat feels 100% better, but I don't. I still feel worn out, and so tired. I even tried to nap today, but that only lasted 20 minutes, Noah started crying, I woke up and then started thinking about everything I needed to do. And my last straw today was a box of Stove Top. I finally decided what we were having for dinner, I was trying to get it ready and no Stove Top...I think I slammed a few things and just started crying. Hmm...and I wonder where my son gets this from! My husband isn't the most feel sorry for you kind of guy, and that's all I wanted (my mom has called everyday to check on me, she knows how to baby me). So he decided the way to fix the problem was to go to the store...of course I'd already figured out how to fix my problem...but I think he wanted out. I don't really blame him. So them left me and I finished making dinner, Richard just called to check and see how much longer till dinner...hmm. I hate when I flip out, but it's hard being a mommy and being sick...especially with my child who seems to forget he has a Daddy. Good thing we have church tomorrow, this girl needs some badly!
So let's focus on the good parts of today!
Noah on his "herse" (horse).
Kapone playing catch with the snow. He played so hard, he lost his head!
Another one who played hard, I didn't think we'd ever get him in!
Valentine's Day goodies for Noah's school...hopefully he'll get to go on Monday. This is the first time we've done Valentines for Noah. I let Richard pick them out...note to self, next time if he picks them out, he gets to put them together! All that folding and the tattoos to put in...ugh!
No Mommy and Noah picture, it's the three Blaine's today. The boys got back, Noah with a real ride on horse (I think they are called hobby horses), I guess we can retire the broom now! Looking back it was a really good day, yes my kid is a little loud and moody, but so is his mother. I need to keep remembering that I'm not perfect, no one really expects me to be, except myself...to quote Francesca Battestelli "perfection is my enemy"!
We met while working together at Old Navy in 2002. After 3 tries Carly finally agreed to a date and the rest is history! We are the very proud parents of 5 amazing children. Richard works full time at the regional level for Old Navy. Carly works full time as an elementary school counselor and loves to crochet...when she finds the time. We both welcomed Jesus into our hearts in 2008 and life has never been the same since!
Noah
Noah is our 13 year old son. He has a love of all things Legos and is starting a fascination with Star Wars. He currently wants to be a kindergarten teacher when he grows up (but only after he is the first human on Mars)! Noah has a huge heart and always wants to help in our family's efforts to raise money for different cancer charities.
Ellie
Ellie is the first of 3 girls, and has paved the way for all the Blaine Princesses. Ellie was diagnosed at the age of 2 with Pineoblastoma, a very rare brain cancer. Ellie adored all the princesses and the color pink! She had a huge smile and adorable dimples that could make the world a better place any time of day. Ellie's battle with cancer ended December 22, 2013, just before she turned 3. Ellie lives on in the hearts of the many lives she touched in her 1061 days. Because of her, we are always Princess Strong.
Sarah-Grace
Sarah-Grace (aka SG) is our 8 year old daughter who was born almost 2 months after Ellie's cancer diagnosis. She was our calm among the chaos that our world had become. In fact for the first 9 months of her life she was the most easy going, calm baby. And after Ellie passed away, this little lady took over full force! She is now sassy, energetic, and in no way the girly girl her older sister was! This girl is full of emotion and loves and plays hard! She will one day move mountains I have no doubt! She keeps us moving and laughing and continually teaches us to take a deep breath!
Lulah
Lulah is our 7 year old daughter. She is named after her big sister Ellie, who we sometimes called "Ellie Lu". She makes the funniest faces and is brutally honest, but has a heart for Jesus! She's a goof and always makes us laugh! She is a constant reminder of God's grace.
Stori Anne
Stori Anne aka Baby Cinco is the last of the Blaine girls. She is 3 and INDEPENDENT! She has so many of Ellie's mannerisms, you just can't help but smile and thank God for these drops of honey! Her name reminds us that God has given us a special story to share with everyone around us of God's grace and provision.
