Hook em!

Chris and I moved away from beautiful Austin, Texas. Chris was offered a job through his company that was too good to pass up. I look at it this way, at least he doesn't have to loose his job. It's been hard for me, but I am trying to stay positive. As soon as we sell our house in Pflugerville, we will reside in Fort Wayne, Indiana. As of right now, I am staying with his family and Chris is in Indiana. It's been hard, but we are trying to save money. We shall see how long I can last here.

I actually watched the UT game vs OSU last night. All I have to say is, we kicked your a$$ Buckeyes! It was a very close game, but awesome!

Can I get my money back?

Chris and I went to my high school reunion. I am sad to say that it was kind of lame. It wasn't worth the price to go. It was great to see everyone, but nothing has changed. It seemed like it was 80% A-List and 20% mixed...and it was still separated by clicks. It was nice that someone pointed out that I was the nice girl :). It kind of made me smile.

My horrible dream...

I hope I do not have to relive this nightmare. I had this horrible dream one morning about my daughter Mika. It's so hard for me to type this out w/o crying, but I feel that it might help get through the day. My dream started out pretty normal. My daughter Mika is 7 months old, but in my dream she was about 2 years old...maybe slightly younger. Anyway, she was playing on the floor with her toys and all of a sudden she swallowed this object. The object was pretty big, but somehow it managed to fit in her mouth. Well, her muscles in her mouth/throat relaxed and it went down her throat. I turned around b/c I heard her gasp for air. She was crying, but no noise was coming out of her. I saw the object lodged in her throat...sort of like the movie "Jawbreaker"...I paniced and called 911. I also open up the front door to yell for help. I called my husband, but I couldn't speak. So he knew something was wrong and left to go to the hospital. My daughter and I arrived at the hospital and was immediately seen by a doctor. He checked her over and was ready to call a surgeon. He check her heart beat and it was slipping. My daughter turned her head to look towards me with her big, blue, bubble eyes...The look of pain and "help me mamma" woke me up in tears. All I remember was holding her and saying "I love you Mika, please don't leave me". This is soooo hard for me to type this out and read it....anyway, I woke my ass up b/c I didn't want to know what was about to happen. I woke up in tears and ran to my sleeping daughter...she was sleeping peacefully. When she woke up, she was all smiles. For those who know me...my dreams are pretty vivid and accurate (most of the time)...This dream made me realize that I need to watch her more. She loves to put things in her mouth...fist, passy, etc...I hope no one has to ever go through this...

The smell of roses...

So, lately I have been feeding my daughter some stage one veggies for the first time. She absolutely loves it! So I decided to mix peas with peaches...It sounds gross, but she was loving life. Anyway, she left a few surprises in her diaper. Her poopy diapers had a sweet smell. I couldn't believe it..her poop smells like roses! I thought it was weird so I thought I would share...I guess you are what you eat :)...
