A-Dub’s Thoughts
Thoughts of a wife and mother

Today was Xavier’s preschool Christmas party.  Aaron and I both had the chance to go with him which was so much fun.  There where so many kids there it was chaotic.  Nikki put me in charge of the Gingerbread House station.  I think I will be dreaming of frosting for the next couple of weeks.

The kids got to build houses, make ornaments, color a gingerbread man, listen to the Polar Express, have a Christmas inspired memory game, and to top it off they had a book exchange.  I think all of the kids went home on a sugar and adrenaline high.

Today my baby turned 5.  I can’t believe that he is already a big kid.  I never expected to have such a sweet, well verbed, yet totally off the wall son.  He keeps us going at all times, what should I have expected Aaron is his father.  I just wanted you all to know how much I loved my Xavier and wanted to wish him Happy Birthday!

I just want everyone to know that I have greatest group of friends.  I am so very blessed to be surrounded by such love and support.

Four and half years ago my husband and I decided to move to the desert.  Usually when you move to the desert you don’t find much and that is exactly what I thought I would find.  We had found a church right away.  But it took us a long time time to find a home team that we could belong too.  Once we did it was awesome.  It now has been a couple of years and we have had to “restructure” our home team but our group is the best.  I have the best girlfriends, I could not believe that out here in the middle of the desert they would be here.

I just got back from the birthday lunch that they threw Jess and I.  I had so much fun just being able to relax and know that I can be safe in this group.  We had a great time just laughing at how many boys God has given us and how crazy these lunches will very shortly when they can all walk on their own.  Man, are we in trouble!  I vote for a nanny.

Happy Thanksgiving!

I am so glad that we are having a rainy Thanksgiving.  It helps put me in the baking and decorating mode.  I am just so happy that the new meds that the doctor gave me are starting to help.  I was so worried that I wasn’t going to be able to a part of the preparing of the meal this year.  I wasn’t able to make any apple pies but I did make some pumpkin pie dip and some pumpkin pies.  Maybe by Christmas I will be having more good days and I will be able to make all of my favorite holiday foods.

(Warning: Contains a woman’s rant on her personal possessions.)

We now have two dogs and they have the mob mentality which makes it very hard to figure out who’s done what.  Last night one of my favorite brown kitten heal sandals became victim to the harsh environment of the teeth and drool.  I caught both Cat and Maybe with the shoe, so like I said it is very hard to figure out who started the brutal attack.

I LOVED those shoes….also love my dogs.  I guess it just gives me another reason to go shoe shopping.
