Life...again

Life...what can I say...busy, busy, busy.
I always have time to read other blogs but just never post anything to mine. I just feel like I don't have much to say that my non existent readers will be interested in! But before I know it, all of these things happen and I go another 3 months without posting.
Andersen is finishing up his last week of preschool. I actually feel emotional thinking about it, more so then when he first went. He's rambunctious as always! Full of life and energy. Not a day goes by where someone doesn't comment on his non stop, loud, wild, spunk, laughter, attitude, curiosity and smile are in full force. He definitely wears me out! He's 110% boy and is not shy in proving that.
Work has been crazy. The weather has been even more crazy. And I've been trying my hardest to live day by day and be thankful for what I have and for who is in my life.
My family and friends have been amazing-which is nothing out of the ordinary...but sometimes i catch myself realizing how lucky I am to have those people in my life.
So in the last few months I have celebrated St. Patty's Day, Andersen started flag football, and t-ball, I went to time warp prom (dress up from any era and just dance the night away), hung with my girlfriends, and have just lived my life to the best of my ability.

I've got nothing

Doing my typical night time routine...
Use the restroom-check
Double check the door is locked-check
Go into Andersen's room to make sure he's covered up-sorta check...
I can hear him snoring, but as I'm walking towards his bed I notice he's not there?? But I can hear him? And there's no where else he can be....but underneath his bed!!
This is a first for me! I busted out laughing and did the only thing a good mom would do-snap pictures and leave him there!
They say never wake a sleeping bear-so I'm not.
I love this child of mine....

Life

Seems as though I forget about my blog because life is absolutely crazy. Or that my life is that boring I have nothing to say? I like to think it's the former. And since that is what I'm telling myself, I post once every couple of months and just do a lame-o recap.
Well here it is, 3 months later and once again so much has gone on.
The holidays were ok. Christmas really sucked for me this year....long story short, I'm now single-courtesy of a break up 3 days after Christmas and 3 days before New Years. I've been down this road before, so I know I'll survive and find happiness again, but damn I hate putting down my wall because it results in my heart being broken. But overall Christmas was great for Andersen and that is what matters the most!!
Let's see what else, my dad retired, we had enough snow to build a snowman, I've been having a lot of girl time with my besties, got through Valentine's Day, Andersen is playing basketball and so much more.
I've also started this whole Kindergarten registration process...I'm sad thinking my little man is old enough to go to school all day. He's incredibly excited and has been talking about how much fun it's going to be. I just can't believe that my forever and always baby, is growing up. He's going to do great, no doubt. He's gotten great education at his preschool and the teachers think he's going to do so well. Speaking of preschool, I'm going to brag on my baby for a second. He's reading like crazy. Like above his age level. One of the other teachers at his school pulls him out of the classroom and has him read more advanced books because he knows more than the other kids. I can no longer spell out words when I don't want him to know what I'm talking about because he figures it out. I can no longer let him watch me text my gf's because we all know how inappropriate those convos can be! Lol!! He's doing awesome!! And this is all from a kid who at 2 years old said less than 10 words and attended speech therapy for a year!!
Well at any rate, life is happening. Some things by my choice, some by others....but most importantly I'm the one putting one foot in front of the other and choosing and deciding my happiness.
One of my favorite quotes-"the best day if your life is the one in which you decide your life is your own"....damn fucking straight it's MY LIFE and I make it all MINE.
So now enjoy some pictures of the crazy life I live!

Recent photo happenings...

Crazy life...busy and wonderful!!
Andersen played in a Turkey bowl flag football tournament at the Cincinnati Bengals stadium!! He was on cloud 9! Even though they lost both games, I'm so proud of him!!
Me and lil man went on a hike looking for treasures.
It was my birthday! I received a mug from Andersen that he signed-best present ever! Had 34 trick candles on my cake, my nephew was born, and I was taken out to a wonderful birthday dinner and then surprised later by my boyfriend with his friends and mine at a bar later that night....
I've very thankful for my crazy life! It's not perfect, but just right...

Best birthday present ever....

Today is my birthday...I usually hate my birthday, but this year I got the best present ever...my nephew Max was born today!! Congratulations to my brother and SIL!!!
