My baby boy! He's noisy, tiring, demanding, never stops crying and yet he's everything i wanted.... We named him BOLT, Don't ask me why his daddy liked the name so i said OK because we'd already been though 100 others, plus the other hundred we went through trying to figure out a name for his sister, who has a new home with my BF's dad. We were actually looking for a border collie for his dads 50Th birthday prezzie but i fell i love with this little guy so ray bought me him! His sister is named bonnie after about a week and a half of having no name and being called puppy! no pictures of her as yet, because she never sits still! Bolt, on the other hand seems to sleep more than anything else! I swear he actually believes he's a baby! We've had him two weeks now and he's already learnt where he can and can not pee, and so stop and the road side when told! lol (can you tell that he has taken over my life?) However there is one bonus to a dog that likes to sl...

I haven't been up to much lately mostly just working and trying my hardest to get rid of this bleeding cold! I'm just sick of it now lol! In between working and sleeping i have done a little stitching on a new project for my BF's niece and nephew. Two blankets one blue, one pink and knowing how long it takes me to get myself in gear im going to make these big enough for toddlers even though their currently only 6 months old lol.

I Know, I Know, Im late but do have a good reason one very cute little baby girl pulled a few of my laptop keyboard keys off and i've had to have it fixed lol. I would like to say that both steph and linda will receive a gift for taking part in my "tell me why" lol thank you ladies i loved what you both wrote! Linda: One of the many reasons I love my children(even though they are going through the teen years! LOL) is because of what they have taught me! They have taught me unconditional love! They have taught me the power of words! They have taught me the power of actions! They have taught me it is okay to be ME! They have taught me how far my patience can go! They have taught me to laugh till I cried or wet my pants! They have taught me to K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid!). They have taught me too see the world through their eyes! THey have taught me what it really means to be happy! They have taught me that it's okay I am crazy! They have taught me to live! They hav...
