Dedicated to My Daughters

I want to be, 

Their rock.

A foundation,

They can grow their dreams on.

I want to be,

A star in their life's sky,

To wish upon and give direction. 

I want to be, 

A song in their heart,

Of love and hope....

In their darkest times.

I want to be,

A woman of strength,

To show them their own.

I want tone beautiful,

And show them it's not materials that show it.

I want to be a source of compassion,

That can always be there for them,

And never be judged.

I want to be,

Everything my little girls...

Already are.

Dedicated to: Izy and Zoey , my beautiful daughters

Today

Well,
Todays wrapping up slowly but surely. With two snoozing little ones, now I just await my mind to shut down enough to sleep.

That last surgery was a lot harder on me than anticipated, and with pain killers still being a part of my daily life, its been an adjustment. I mean, have I cracked a "mommy needs a double vodka-valuum-arita joke before, yes. But never had to actually rely on them to function. I've got 3 more weeks roughly of heal time, and its getting better day by day.

Today wasn't necessarily a bad day just a rougher one with fussier than usual little loves, a long week tired hubby, and, for lack of a better word, me it just went about as smooth as sand paper.

But here's to a deep breath, an even deeper sigh, and a brand new day tomorrow starting with a cup of black coffee. It seems my comical side is already asleep, so I'll put the rest of me to bed as well.

Sweet dreams,
~Missy

P.S. I will be posting a bunch of my favorite recipes, craft ideas, funny videos, and music here shortly. Also the links to my other pages. Might as well get to know the woman behind the comedy right?

Often

This is often my problem and it seems to take me forever to find myself again.

Appreciation

Incredible thought since love tends to be thought of so possessive.

Unbelievably Funny

One of my addictions is hilarious Vine videos. They are my only chance to kick back, and laugh my behind off at others expense without feeling guilty because they made the video themselves. Enjoy!

Sleepy Time

Eyes as heavy as a rock,
just sitting here I watch the clock.
I pray for sleep,
For what it used to be.
When I would get more hrs than 3.
the exhausted look,
Doesn't suit me well.
My makeup smears,
And I cry like hell.
I tell myself this too will pass,
And will be memories in a looking glass.
But until that time,
Here I sit.
As cranky as a two year old fit.
so I wish I may I wish I might,
Just maybe get some sleep tonight.
Because if its anything under two,
I don't think another coffee pot will do.
he'll come home to world war 3,
And take over the kids,
So I sleep peacefully.

Brew Me Dirty

So here's the story behind this little contraption. The day before, my coffee pot cracked. After hitting my knees and screaming "noooo" slowly and dramatically for five minutes I knew I was going to need coffee the next day so I borrowed a pot from the inlaws.

To my dismay it won't fit with the lid and it won't brew without the trigger being pushed up. So I took the lid off, put a butter knife across to hold the button down and voila!!  I made coffee with the excitement of Tom Hanks making fire in Cast Away.

When the baby has kept me up 3/4 of the night, you WILL NOT stop me from my brew. Lol hell your just lucky I mean coffee brew!

Good morning my messy haired, make up smeared, partied with an infant all night doing the colic dance across the floor people. May our coffee be strong and our will even more so...

Cheers.

My everythings

No need to tell me, we do good work ;)

Tip it back my friends

Yep

Let the bloggin' commence!

Hello Again,

I had attempted a blog previously, but after putting myself to sleep just writing it, I thought I'd wait till my life got even more exciting before continuing.

Well after an 8 yr anniversary, 553 three yr old tantrums, a pregnancy from hell that brought me another beautiful little girl who hates sleep, has colic, and makes sure I sleep about 1.5 hrs a week myself, and approximately 1659 folgers in my cups later...here we are today.

So yes I'd say a bit more exciting. We still reside here in good old Utah, home of the Sunday city closure and better make it to the liquor store by noon but we've adapted with some awesome concert dates out, hole in the wall bars with old friends, and the comedy that is our day to day life.

I myself feel about 60 these days when my excitement is morning coffee and a newspaper, let alone grocery shopping, that's a full on adventure!! I have weekly shows I must watch if not catch up on, on Hulu and am perfectly fine with a nine O'clock bed time. Hell, add daily fiber powder and depends and I'm pretty much dust in a jar.

But that's besides the point. My sweet Princesa is now three and seeing the world through her eyes is my daily breath of life. She smiles, laughs, loves, and imagines without boundaries...I wish I could be like her when I grow up. Her and my other two month old little love are the two beings I feel the most blessed to have had the chance to meet. I try to be a firm mom, but battle the best friend syndrome of it constantly. I'm sure I'll get it down one of these days, until then add it to the "to-do" scroll I have about as long as Cinderella's before the ball.

The love of my life is back at his old job where he's definitely being better appreciated, but its also back to the old hrs where it seems I'm watching the sunrise when he leaves for work and counting the stars by the time he's back home. And I swear, I miss him like a high schools girl crush every single day at work, part of that stems from a failed move to Ohio but we'll cover that on another entry. Needless to say, how we're doing now it was a blessing in huge disguise.

I still dream of being a writer, it still seems so far away. I hope soon the mile markers start passing me by so I can show my girls their own hearts stars can be reached....We'll see.

So here we are, welcome back to my crazy life. Strap in, fill your red solo cup, put on your reading glasses and lets do this thing! Its going to be a bumpy, messy, beautiful ride and I'm glad your here to see it with me.

Cheers! Xoxo
