babies babies babies....
Everywhere I look someone is either having a baby or is pregnant with babies.... Basically since our friend had her daughter Mckayla there have been babies like every 3 months.... Mckayla, Molly, Zackary, Charlotte, Jackson, Morgen, Jack, Malia.... the list goes on... now Sarah is pregnant my friend Melanie just announce she too is pregnant, and I have 3 friends that are activly trying - hopefully they get their wishes too! All I have to say is thank god I am not one of them..... I don't think I could be this excited for everyone else if I too were sharing in all that pregnant glory.... I need a break personally - a long break....
Anyway it's so exciting that our group of family and friends are just creating the most wonderfully gorgeous babies and/or adopting them. It's fantastic!
Anyway I now should get into the shower while my 2 gorgeous babes are fast asleep! :)

I am so excited! Jon and I are going on our second date since having Charlotte tonight. We are going to a movie and dinner and Jons mom and dad are going to babysit for us. I am so happy! :) We are going to go see Pans Labrynth (sp?). I've heard all y'all talking about it and we just have to go see it. We had to decide between that and the new Hannibal Rising movie.... but we decided on Pans!
That's it - I just had to share my happiness with all y'all (yes I did it again - I had to - it just fit in so nicely)!

I think I have a Madonna fan on my hands!
Molly was in the kitchen playing with in the cupboard I let her into (it's the tupperware cupboard) and on the tv was a commercial for Madonnas next concert - Molly came running from the kitchen and then started dancing in front of the tv until the commercial was over. Then she looked at me like - "Mom why did you stop that fantastic music?" and then walked back into the kitchen and continued playing. Picture Molly in her diaper and her pigtales from yesterday dancing to Madonna like she was at the club... too funny!
That is all my friends - thought you would enjoy that!
Wait before I leave you - Molly just pulled my shirt down and said "bebes" then pointed to her own chest and said "maey bebes". And for any of you toddler illiterate that would be "boobies" and "Molly's boobies"!
Now have a nice day!

Molly is a booger! She woke up 8 times last night! We put her to bed a little after 8 o'clock (her normal bedtime) and promptly woke at 11:30, 12:30, 1:15, 2:30, 5:20, 6:00, 7:00 and then finally at 7:45 I gave in and we got up. Now she is in a terrible mood (I would be too if I basically didn't get any sleep) and is walking around just randomly crying. I just put her in her high chair where she is eating one cheerio at a time and then looks at me like she is going to just burst into tears. Meanwhile Charlotte is sitting in her little chair and is screaming her happy screams and pooping! Yippie! She just had some green beans, a part of a banana and a cracker. What a cow! I am sitting here with the laptop between the girls wishing I could just go back to sleep! Bummer - it's not gonna happen! Now I must go change a poopy diaper and DEAL with Molly and her constant crying..... Wish me luck!

Okay does anyone else have a strange thing about keeping the snow in front of your house perfect? Let me go into this a bit further. So this morning I wake up and there are 5 feet prints from my neighbors house to his car and then the tracks from his car - that is it - everything else is pristine and wonderful! Then our neighbor comes home and there are more tracks and then his kid and other neighbor kids have been playing in the snow right out in front of our house and other than the small little lawn I have everything is all yucky all the way down the street! Oh and there is some old guy riding his little 4 wheeler around the neighborhood and he keeps going down our street and making it less and less fantastic! I love the snow - but I hate when it looks messy - which it does now and I haven't even stepped out side yet!! Oh well - why am I such a freak?? When Jon comes home - we will go build a snowman out front and then it will really be ruined!!! :)
You know what's funny - I have to admit that I've been known to thrash others yards when I was younger just so mine would stay nice and fresh looking.... I feel like doing that now!! :) Anyway my OCD has come out a bit today!
Have a wonderful snow day! Go thrash your neighbors yards!!! :)

I have a new sister.... kind of! Josh (Jon's brother) just married the deaf Russian! Can you believe it?? I mean this whole time I knew it was a possibility - but now it's real! They are married! It was a beautiful ceremony - candle lit and very intimate! At first I was thinking how are they going to do this - she can't hear the pastor.... but they thought of everything - they had an interpreter from their church there signing to Lyudmila. It really was quite lovely. I'm happy they just did it. The whole big wedding thing just wasn't coming along - too many opinions and too many people to invite. They are thinking of having a reception sometime in March for everyone - about 500 people. I can't imagine 500 people actually showing but we'll see! So if you can think of any place not too expensive to hold 500 bodies let me know so I can shoot that sugestion their way!

So for any of you out there wishing you had kids or wanting to get pregnant.... I just have a little story for you! So last night we were at Sarah and Josh's house for Amy's birthday party (a surprise sort of) with the kids but Jon and I had to come seperately because Molly was still sleeping and we were already running late. So, Charlotte and I drove over with all the food and stuff and Jon came later with the sleepy Molly. Aparently she woke only about 5 minutes after I left because Jon arrived shortly after I did. Anyway - so the evening started out with a bang - no literally a bang.... Molly fell into the dog's water dish spilling it over the entire kitchen and even into the living room - thank god they have wood floors..... So after standing over Sarah while she cleaned up we were off... Molly minus pants and socks and shoes because they all got soaked and I forgot to bring a second pair of clothes or their pj's - but we figured with the onesie and a sweatshirt - our ride home shouldn't be too bad..... So the party begun - Amy was "surprised" to see us, we ate lots of yummy food and played a rousing game of pictionary. Jon and I had to switch off who was holding Charlotte because she wanted to be held - but you can't draw and hold a baby at the same time - so the switching off happened during the game. Molly continued to scare pour little Ella the entire night - she wanted to play but Eloise did not! So twice during the game of pictionary Molly locked herself in the bathroom downstairs (not sure how the door continued being opened but it was). Once she locked herself and Eloise in the bathroom - I didn't hear either of the girls and couldn't see them - then quitely from a distance I heard some crying... sure enough there they were in the bathroom, lights out and all alone. We really are good parents - but if you judged it on last nights events you would assume we neglect our children like crazy - I swear we don't!!!!! So the evening went on and other than some whining here and there it was going splended. It was pretty late but we wanted to play one more game of pictionary before we left. We were only about 4 drawings into it when MOLLY HAPPENED AGAIN! This time she decided to try some wine. Amy had put her wine (out of reach) on the CD cases and Molly decided she was thirsty apparently. Down came the wine - all over Molly and all over the hard wood floors. Molly inhaled about half the cup and was crying after catching her breath. She had wine in her hair, up her nose, in her eyes and down her throat! So after cleaning up Molly, and a group cleaning up the floor we were back to the game - Molly now running about in just her diaper (White trash?).
Considering the temperature was about 24 degrees outside - Jon decided to start the car while we packed up our crap! After about 20 minutes of getting the girls bundled up and gathering up the Powell mess - we took off in our seperate cars to come home. Charlotte passed out before we left the neighborhood but Molly stayed awake and wanted me to hold her foot the whole way home - which was fine with me because it was bare and so cute!!! :) We got home and Charlotte was still sleeping and as Jon put Molly in some pjs I fixed a bottle for her and she went down for bed - this is about 11:00pm or so. She fell right to sleep and I got myself ready for bed, Jon popped in a movie downstairs, Charlotte woke I fed her and we were off to bed.... it was about midnight when I finally went upstairs. Jon wasn't really tired so he watched his movie and came to bed about an hour and a half later..... At about 2am Molly wakes screaming and Charlotte wanted to eat - Jon got up with Molly - got her a new bottle and changed her diaper laid her down and she was quite for about 20 minutes and then back to screaming. Jon went in and plugged her - she was then quite for about an hour, then back to crying again. Jon went in to make sure she was ok and replugged her and laid her back down and left the room - she was still crying - after about 10 minutes of that Jon gave up and brought her downstairs - she wanted nothing to do with that.... Jon laid her back down and came to bed. she was quite again for about an hour and then it began again - finally around 4:30am Jon gave up and brought her downstairs where she too gave up and finally fell asleep. I don't know when or how but aparently she somehow got out of Jons arms while they were sleeping on the couch and got into the bathroom downstairs and decided to shred toilet paper all over the living room and remove some of Mommy's personal items... NICE! So after Charlotte and I came downstairs - cleaned up and made some coffee I realized Charlotte was poopy.... Poopy isn't really the word for it.... she was covered in poop! She had it from her neck down and all over her arms and even a bit in her armpits - it was lovley! I stripped her down and Jon gave her a bath while I started some laundry - you can't let the poop sit - it solidifies and becomes a stain! It is now 9:40am and I am just now having my cup of coffee and in about 10 minutes I have to go do bills, take a shower and then head over to my inlaws where I am going to help clean and "decorate" for a "wedding"! Oh isn't my life fantastic!
So after hearing all our fun if you still want a baby go for it - but this is what you have to look forward to!!!
That is all! Have a good morning/afternoon/evening (whatever time it is when you read this)! Hopefully no more FUN happens for us today! I don't know that I can take more! :)

I just had to share how strange my new neighbors are.... every day she comes home for lunch around noon with her son. Almost 3-4 times a week her mom and dad show up about 15 minutes before and enter the house - they must have a key. They have lunch together and leave. They never seem happy to see each other and after she gets her son back in the car - she zooms back off to work. It doesn't sound that strange when I'm writing it - but really it kind of eeps me out a bit. Some days her parents will just show up with her son and they play for a while in the house and then they leave. Do they not have a house of their own to take him to?? Why do they meet for lunch so often? anyway - enough about them....

I am so jealous!!!!
My neighbors just bought a big beautiful house - a 4 bedroom 3 bath with a large kitchen and a huge backyard. It's in that nice neighborhood across from Century High School. It is absolutely gorgeous!!! They were showing me pictures of it last night and all I could do was think of how jealous I was. I am happy for them of course - but still!!! Just thought I would share that with all ya'll!
So last night I had the strangest dream! I would love to know where dreams actually come from. I dreamt that my dad was the high school cheerleading coach and that I was trying out for the team and he assured me I would make it up until the day before we started - he posted the girls that made the team and the reasons of why the others didn't make it. Next to my name it said - "NOT PRETTY ENOUGH". I was so devestated. Then after fighting with him and yelling at him and my mom and my friends - I found a wad of hundred dollar bills. Not sure where that fits in - but it did in my dream. After finding the wad of hundred dollar bills (by the way this was a stack about as big as a Red Robin Burger with all the fixin's) I figured out what my dad meant by not being pretty enough..... I realized that my nails needed to be trimmed - so I bit them off and spit them out - I couldn't seem to get the peices out though - it was so strange - I kept spitting and more kept coming out - mouth fulls. It was disgusting!!!! It actually makes me want to vomit right now! After I finally got all the nails out of my mouth I tackled my "boyfriend" who is an ex boyfriend from college - I haven't thought of him in years..... Right as we started to kiss I woke up to my true reality!!!
Dreams.... so strange - yet so awesome. I actually really like to dream - it allows me to live a bunch of different lives when I sleep!

14 cats....
Okay so I am watching Rachael Ray right now and she just said that her mom has 14 cats - all I can think of is stinky.... seriusly one cat - ok, maybe even 2 - but I think anyone that has more than that just needs more enjoyment in their life. 14 cats.... ewe!
Oh and apparently the myth that pointsedias are poisonous to humans and cats is false - apparently you would have to eat somehting like 500 leaves for a toddler to be sick - so 'phew' you don't have to worry about that anymore because I know you all have been sleepless worrying about that!
Thanks Rachael Ray - without you I would be nowhere!!! Or maybe I wouldn't be sitting in front of the tv at 10:30am - maybe my kitchen would be clean and I would be showered.... nah I would just find something else to watch.... who wants cleansliness when you can have filth and tv!!??
Good day!

4 days and counting!!! I can't believe it's nearly Christmas time. It makes me so excited like I'm a little kid again! I feel giddy around this time of year. I still go to bed with a little bit of me that believes Santa is coming while I'm sleeping and that I can't get out of bed until the morning. I am excited to leave cookies and milk for Santa or whatever we might have on hand.... I think Santa might like the 100 calorie packs of cookies - actually he is going to have to like that and some non fat milk - cause darn it I've worked hard to lose 36 pounds and that WILL NOT come back just cause Santa wants some fatty fat fat fat! :) Sorry for the rant! Anyway - I can't wait until that morning to see Molly's eyes with her new gifts - it will be even more fun next year when Charlie gets it too. It's really going to be wonderful when Molly opens her gifts and does her "ooo" it's gonna be great! Can't you all just see it now - opening her baby stroller from Jon and me and going "ooo" and then pushing it around the living room until we leave to go to mom and dads where she will open more fun stuff.... I can't wait!!!
Well now I should leave this and get back to my girls - Molly is ready for a nap and she needs her rest... Christmas is only 4 days away!!

I haven't blogged in a long time. I feel like I've completely neglected my ability to rant on unimportant things.... well that time is over - I am back!!!
So today I decided I wasn't going to leave the house - because the last week or two or ten I have been so busy that I have neglected to do certain things around the house! So I decided that if I didn't do my hair and make up that I wouldn't leave the house... however what that ended up doing was making me feel extremely lazy and instead of leaving the house I ended up just sitting around all day and doing nothing..... I took a shower at like 11:00am and got dressed - but other than that I didn't do anything.... I took care of my kids and all but they didn't even get dressed today - I gave them a bath and they hung out in their diapers for the rest of the day! I just had no energy to do anything! I didn't even get any of the things I wanted to get done around the house! Oh well I think I needed this day to just relax! I even got to take a nap this afternoon - something I haven't been able to do in so long! It was quite nice! Now tomorrow - I have to get stuff done... laundry is my number one concern! I have about 5 loads sitting in my hall upstairs - if you've ever seen my hall you would know that there isn't enough room for 5 loads of laundry probably not even enough for 2 loads really.... not if you want enough room to walk - so you can just imagine what it looks like!!! I also have about 4 loads to fold in my bedroom - I just keep piling them in Charlotte's bassinett (she doesn't sleep in it anymore because she is so large and in charge!)....
Anyway I am done ranting about my lame excuse for a day now.... Tomorrow I will get stuff done! Yeah right - I will probably end up going shopping or something like that.... I mean come on... it's Christmas time!!! Who wants to do laundry when I could be out in the crazy ass stores with all the crazy ass people doing their last minute shopping.... actually now that I say that out load (or type it) I realize laundry doesn't sound so bad after all... honestly all I want to do is sit in front of a fire with hot cup of coffee and book - but seeing that I don't have a fire place or a book I'm reading nor the time in the day to read it... I suppose I will just have to have the coffee - which doesn't sound too bad alone!!! :)
Well I should probably get back to my family - we are watching Harry Potter with Lauren and Hayden!! :)
Farewell!

So tonight I put up a slide show of Molly when she was in the NICU on my myspace page. I forgot how small she was and what a hard time this was in my life and everyones that was close to me. I am so happy that that time is over and Molly is strong and healthy. I just wanted to post a picture of her so you could all remember that time too...
Me and Molly - this was the first time I held her since I had delivered her....

Blog Already.....
Okay so I just realized that I have been getting on this thing almost every day in hopes that you all would post something new and getting disappointed every time there wasn't - and then I would sign off and get sad.... then I realized that I hadn't posted anything new either..... ooopps!!
Of course today however there were a few new ones out there and that made me happy! If you could see me now you would see that I am much happier... :)
Okay now for the reason for this blog....
Thanksgiving is just 2 days away and I just realized it. I mean I knew it was coming and everything but tomorrow is Wednesday and then Turkey day.... I just hadn't actually put it together in my head. Jon and the girls and I just went shopping at Fred Meyer to get the stuff to make a Green Bean Casserole (I'm taking one to the Powell's and the Mac's) and the place was a-hoppin'. People were cutting in line and swerving through the isles (to get what I don't know...). There was even a very fat lady in one of those motorized carts taking up the entire isle and angry at every person that asked her to move - we stayed clear of that one. So we got our stuff and we ourselves were in no hurry at all - so we just walked around the store and watched the craziness before us. It wasn't all that bad - but it was still very obvious that there was a holiday coming up - and that is when it hit me.... Thanksgiving is in 2 days..... Yikes!
I just thought you would all like to know that it is in 2 days - just in case you were like me and forgot or just didn't care to actually put it together....
THANKSGIVING IS RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER!!!!
TIME TO EAT SOME TURKEY (not you Ashley), MASHED POTATOES AND GRAVY, GREEN BEAN CASSEROLES, SWEET POTATOES, CRANBERRY SAUCE, ROLLS, SALADS (if you want to waste space on the plate), AND OF COURSE PIE - LOTS AND LOTS OF PIE!!
ENJOY ALL AND HAPPY TURKEY DAY!!!!

4:27am
Okay it's 4:27am and I am just sitting here not able to sleep. I've been awake for almost 2 hours now and finally gave up trying to sleep for a little while and came downstairs to tire myself on the computer. I hate when I can't sleep. I ended up just lying there thinking about everything that is "wrong" with my life. I started thinking about friends I haven't seen, past relationships, my weight, money, tv shows I have or haven't seen, Jon, Molly, Charlotte..... I just couldn't stop my brain from going. Then my stomach started to hurt and I had to pee - so I finished feeding Charlotte and went to the bathroom - that is when I decided I needed to just come down to the good ol' laptop! I knew that I could just post away any topics that were on my mind - however by the time I got down here - nothing cool was in my head anymore..... So instead of writing my amazing thoughts down - I am writing this..... NOTHING!!! I hope you all enjoy my blurbs about absolutely nothing. I plan on writing until I a. get a soar wrist or b. I fall asleep face first into the computer or c. just give up trying to be clever/funny or whatever you might call it and just go to sleep. I wish there was a magic pill I could take that would just knock me out.... oh wait there are.... however I can't take them.... I still have to be a mom in the morning - that probably wouldn't fly if I slept the entire day while Molly and Charlotte are screaming..... In fact I think there are women that go to jail for such awfulness.... or atleast I would imagine their children would be taken from them.... Oh to be white trash!!!
Speaking of white trash.... I had a dream that I had married one of the guys I dated while I was in college.... that was an interesting dream - I had 4 kids (all boys) and they were dirty and short and mean - just like their dad.... it was terrible.... then I woke up and looked next to me - there was my adorably clean baby girl and my clean, nice and tall husband and I knew that life was good! :)
Oooh I am starting to get tired - I just took a long pause and stared into no where.... maybe that means I am actually getting sleepy.... where are the poppies when I need them!!! :)
So did you all know that my ex-boyfriend Ben works at the 24 hour fitness right by my house - now if I were to decide to ever work out I couldn't (atleast not there) because how weird and uncomfortable would that be to work out infront of him.... seriously.... now I will never get to build that perfect physique!!!
Oh I took a very long pause that time.... like 2 minutes!!! :) I think I am going to end this thing and play some online games until my eyes begin to shut....
Good night all.... or good morning! depending on wether or not I actually get back to sleep! Wish me luck!

Windshield Wipers.......
Okay so I have to ask all you ladies out there... are your husbands/boyfriends/friends completely retarded when it comes to their wipers in the car? Jon thinks he is too cool (I am convinced) to use his wipers.... Like it makes him a stronger man when he just attempts to look through the wet glass.... It drives me absolutely insane. I have to ask him to turn them on - then once they are on - it's as though he doesn't know how to adjust them or even turn them off. It's rediculous! You should take a little drive in the country with him some time.... on a rainy day.... wait no better yet - how about a rainy night. The guy is not only wiperaphobic - he is also against his brights.... I kid you not.... he doesn't use his brights unless I remind him or tell him to. It's so awful riding with him. When we were first dating I was afraid to ask - and now I basically tell him if he doesn't I am going to drive....
I know that he isn't the only one because Angela and I were talking about it the other day and aparently Zack is the same way. I was just curious if any of the men in your life are like this? Are they too cool to use their wipers and brights too????
Oh men drive me nuts!!

Date Night
Tonight Jon and I are going on our first date since we had Charlotte. I am so excited!!! We are going to just go see a movie (Saw III) - but it will be fun. I can't leave Charlotte for more than 2 hours so that is the best movie for us to go see - it's only like an hour and 45 minutes.
Anyway - I am very excited and just wanted to quickly share it with you all!!!
I hope you all have a wonderful night too!
