drooling, stumbles and naps. you think i am talking about liam huh?
nope. me. (everything is about me. me. me. ME!)
was it the drooling? (well i am pregnant, you know, i have pool of drool where ever the food is.)
back to my point.
it's offical. i should go live in a retirement home. the final nail in the coffin (ha! get it?) is knitting.
yes! i spend some of my spare time, agreed not a whole lot, with some yarn and needles working on my geriatric charm. i have a feeling lola will like me even more once i show up at church with my new scarf.
lola: " how kind of your grandmother to knit you such a beautiful scarf. why look at that craftsmanship!". to which i'll blush and sheepishly reply, "lola, but it twas i who knit this wondrous scarf".
and then we will be best friends. united in arthritis.
i think it's every grandma's responsibility to personally undo all the parenting that has taken place. no treat is out of the question to a "sugah grandma".
grandma's never say no to more ice cream grandma's never say no to a rootbeer float in a frosty mug grandma's never withhold a lemon icee from a wanting grandchild grandma's turn a deaf ear to a mother's wishes when soda will win the hearts of an ornery grandson.
grandma's are the best. i would never deprive a grandma from her duty.
after a week of trial the verdict is in, i am not going back to college for now. it was a very emotional decision for aaron and i, okay, emotional for me. i dont regret the decisions i have made regarding family at all but this one, this one will come back to bite.
yes, i was a child bride who only had one semester under her belt before she wed. i dont care who knows it. its a great story and when hubbys fifty i will be a sexy forty one, my prime.
and while i should have hit the books i was day dreaming about little baby toes, so yes we made babies our #1 goal.
que liam vance. i love that chubber bum. he is one of the brightest lights in my life and i couldn't trade him for anything, even a diploma. not even social standing. the same goes for the rest of my future children.
now heres the part where i fee like i am being hit by the gavel.
its hard to be a mother and go to school and unless you have been there you have no idea. the guilt is unbearable because you know deep in your heart that the mother belongs at home raising the kidlets.
but, will anyone take me serioulsy now? i have no diploma to prove that i can retain knowledge.
have i let everyone else down? it is stressed by those around me how important education is and to never stop learning but does that mean sitting in a classroom all day?
is it true that a woman with an education is a better mother?
what does that mean?
to those i let down, i am sorry. my children might not be the smartest because of my lack but they will know that i sacrificed my life, education and harsh judgements to stay at home everyday for them.
on new years eve the aaron davis family packed up and headed for grandmas to attend the highly anticipated party thrown by a four year old. i mean, this gal went all out.
did you have a piƱata at your party?
did you have popcorn balls and rootbeer floats in frosty mugs?
how about live entertainment? nope,no matter how hard you try you can’t beat the bland show.
we even had crowns.
yeah, our party totally beat yours. this is the life i have with little people and i wouldn’t have it any other way.
A few days before Christmas I was given the wonderful opportunity to serve my husband by baking a bunch of goodies for his coworkers and friends, thanks babe! I made crack (of course) and some of these bad boys. What could be better than peanut butter pretzels dipped in chocolate and then in crushed heath bars?! Believe me, this took all night, I don’t know why it did but it did.
The next day Liam and I went to UT so we could spend a little time with my family before the holidays. It was so good to be with my mom for those precious few days. We went shopping nearly every day, played with the doggie, saw Auntie M, and finally got my parents hooked on LOST! It was quite an adventure!
On Christmas Eve we finally told everyone about the new little one that is headed our way on July 3, 2010. Liam wore a shirt that said “big brother” in tiny lettering on his chest. It took a while for people to see it and make the connection but once they did it was so cool to see their faces light up. I am just happy that the cat is out of the bad and that I can start getting fat without so many judgments.
As always in the Davis household Christmas was pure fun! Liam was feeling the Christmas spirit early Christmas morning and decided to grace the world with his presence at 5:30 a.m. (not a welcome surprise). I was the last to wake up and the first to open my present which involved a freezing run out to Jeremiah’s car where the tiniest, sweetest, most adorable kitten was waiting for me. He truly was a beautiful cat. I say was because the next day I started to develop and allergy to the poor thing and since, we have given him away. Sad, sad, sad. Probably my most cherished present is the painting of Mary holding baby Jesus Aaron got me. What a thoughtful and perfect gift. I have such a wonderful hubby. Liam was spoiled with all of his new clothes and toys. We have been greatly blessed this year and we are grateful for our Savior, Jesus Christ.
Amanda and Aaron Lee moved on the 27th of December and we will miss them terribly, that’s all I am going to say because to say more would bring up too much emotion for me. It is going to be sad that Liam won’t see them very often as he loves Anna to death. We figured it must be the long brown hair he really is drawn to;he constantly seeks her love and attention.
