Why am I so exhausted?

So I'm officially into this SAHM thing.

Can i be honest? I STILL feel like I don't know what I'm doing. Madison and I have absolutely no schedule. NONE. The little stinker sleeps mostly through the night, but finds 5-5:45 a wonderful time to start the day. Me? I am not ready to be up till about an hour after son rise. It usually means that I am cranky and irritable and don't want to move for about 4 hours. I'm OK with getting up and going... but being up with no 'purpose' other then baby-wants-to-play? No way.

It makes me wish i had a member ship to a gym, then i could see me getting up, heading out maybe grabbing a cup of coffee on the way home. But alas a gym membership isn't likely anytime soon.

We have been doing well with me being home though. I mean there is still laundry to be done. There is picking up to do. Piles of junk to sort through. yard work. redecorating. grocery shopping. But i have faith that maybe one day I'll get a hand of it all.

As Always,
Misty

Advise Needed

On Monday I start a Brand new Life. I, Misty King am Becoming something I never thought id be.

A SAHM.

That’s Stay at Home Mom.

And while I had a brief three month run at it on maternity leave, I'm in if for the whole-shebang now... and also half of that leave was spent with me having Gallbladder and Pancreatitis issues, so I was recovering from Labor then recovering from surgery. Not the best of conditions to base my new career on. In Fact, I kind of laugh but 97% of pictures that I took of Maddy during that time are on or from the couch. I lived there.

So what I'm asking is all you SHAMS what’s your Daily Schedule like?

Do you clean house first thing in the am to get it done, or hold off till Nap time and run around furiously. Or do you clean late at night and wake up to a clean house.

Do you have set eating times to keep you on Schedule?

Is a Schedule a stupid thing to try to have? Am I silly to think of even trying to live with out one?

I’m honestly feeling pretty nervous about the whole thing. It’s sort of like starting at a new place. Will my coworker (Madison) like me? If I slack off one day will the Boss (Brandon) fire me? Ok I doubt that but performance really does matter here. Raising my daughter is the top priority, dirty dishes I can deal with later.

P.S I am still Selling Premier. In fact that is one of the high lights of becoming the SHAM. Every time I go to ‘work’ I end up at a party, hanging out with friends and lets face it, every mom needs some girl time.

As Always,
Misty

Just a Phase

I have been a Spoiled, Spoiled Mama.

Spoiled Rotten.

Ever since we put Madison up in her room the Child has slept soundly through probobly 6 out of 7 nights a week. Shes thrown in that 7th night on more then one occasion too.

But now that shes *4 months* It looks to be coming to an end.


Housten we have a roller.

110 Days Old.

My Baby is 110 days old. 110. ONE HUNDRED... and TEN days old.


Seriously?


When did that happen?

How did this:




Turn into this?




I Struggle all day long with being a mom and dealing with her growing so fast. It hurts a little when i pack away clothes that she no longer fits. I go back in forth, sometimes with in the same hour of saying that i cant wait to have another, but then thinking that i want to just be her for a a good long while. Like 18 years or so then do it again.

As Always, Misty

Tough Times

Things have been Pretty Rough At the King Place Lately.



We have spent the summer adjusting to 'life with Baby' and i think we have it pretty down, although we have yet to figure out hoiw to watch tv during a hissy fit. :) But in all honestly Life has been good on that end of the specturim.

This time its been our Jobs that have been tough. When Brandon and I made the desicon to start working togehter 3 years ago we talked about the position it would put us in if something were to happen to our business. Im not really free to share all thats happend/ will happen, but i can tell you that there is something about tough times that always seems to bring us closer together. I can say that i have watched Brandon fight with everything that he has for the benifit of our employees, and i admire and respect him more and more each day.

Not only do i love him , but i like the guy is well. Thats a pretty good thing to say about a boss.

But as much as we try to keep work/home life serperated they tend to spill back and forth a lot lately. There has been so much stress that we have sort of lost the way from time to time.

Which makes times like this so much more meaningful. This is us taking a walk down the dirt road by our house. Such a simple, spur-of-the-moment type thing. But I'll tell you it was the perfect end to a rather great Labor day. Just to spend time together as a Family, and think about how thankful we are to have each other, and actually Like doing it. Well thats Pretty special. After the walk we went and sat and laughed on our picnic blanket that had been left out from the days festivites.

No matter what the future holds for us, we can face it together. Because I've got Him, Hes Got Me and toghther, toghether we have her.


As Always,
Misty

I Made the Blog!

If we talk regularly at all then we at some point are talking about Cake Wrecks. I have been reading that blog for about 9 months. I asked for a "Its all fun and Games till it ends up on Cake Wrecks" Shirt for Christmas (I didn't get it.Can you see I still wish I did). I LOVE this Blog http://cakewrecks.blogspot.com/

Now. See that Picture? It MADE Cake Wrecks today. Today's feature is on horrific CCC (Cupcake Cakes) And my wreck made it. Not only did the thing Make it, But it got the privilege of being featured LAST in the entry. Last means that it was the worst of the worst. In this case its a good thing to come in last :)

Let me share with you the email that I submitted to fill you in on how I came across this:

Hi Jen!

I ran across this… um ‘Treat’ while picking up some actual watermelon this weekend. My friend Regina H is as big a Cake Wreck fan as I am and we both knew without speaking what had to be done. Operation get-a-pic commenced. We quickly whisked the CCC away to the spaghetti sauce isle and took a picture on my phone to send you. Karma promptly rewarded me by me dropping the phone breaking it into pieces and sending the battery under the shelf (shudders at the thought). This causes onlookers to look down the isle and see Regina and I on our knees, reaching around for pieces around this oddly shaped watermelon creation on the floor as well. I then left Regina to return the CCC to the bakery where I discovered that we had lucked out. There were 2 other ‘Watermelon Creations’ but only ours had the gapping whole in it. Me: 2 Karma:1

Unfortunately they didn't give Gina her proper credit in this so I'd like to do so now.

Gina Here's to you doing a magnificent Job Holding the Cake! I love you Happy Birthday!

Tomorrow I will go through the Comments to share others thoughts and opinions of the wreck.

And I am going to Buy me and Gina Official Wreck-porters t shirts. Cause we deserve them.

As Always,

Misty
