Love this sound...she is so goofy. Matt is playing with her horse puppet.

Crazy Girl
(Matt told me this is MY song. :))
Baby why you wanna cry?
You really oughta know that I
Just have to walk away sometimes
We’re gonna do what lovers do
We’re gonna have a fight or two
But I ain’t ever changin’ my mind
Crazy girl, don’t you know that I love you?
And I wouldn’t dream of goin’ nowhere
Silly woman, come here, let me hold you
Have I told you lately?
I love you like crazy, girl
Wouldn’t miss a single day
I’d probably just fade away
Without you, I’d lose my mind
Before you ever came along
I was livin’ life all wrong
Smartest thing I ever did was make you all mine
Crazy girl, don’t you know that I love you?
And I wouldn’t dream of goin’ nowhere
Silly woman, come here, let me hold you
Have I told you lately?
I love you like crazy, girl
Baby why you wanna cry?
You really oughta know that I
Just have to walk away sometimes
We’re gonna do what lovers do
We’re gonna have a fight or two
But I ain’t ever changin’ my mind
Crazy girl, don’t you know that I love you?
And I wouldn’t dream of goin’ nowhere
Silly woman, come here, let me hold you
Have I told you lately?

Recap Pictures
It looks harsh, but it really isn't. The colt is trying to figure out how to get Shannon to release the pressure, so the colt is doing everything he can to figure it out.
recap
This past week has been hectic; this week will be too. Last week, as I stated in my post before this one, we were in the hospital with Blake. He was sick and fighting some kind of infection. Luckily it was nothing serious, but standard procedure was to hospitalize him for 2 days. It was pure hell. They had to replace his IV 3 times b/c it kept falling out. Once was in his arm, the next was in his foot and the last one was in his hand. I was so livid. They kept him constantly on 3 antibiotics 'round the clock. It basically felt like I was back at the hospital after delivery. Nurses were coming in every couple of hours to check his vitals and change his meds. SO ANNOYING, but I know it was for his benefit.
We were able to leave Thursday after lunch. Boy, was I relieved. He has been pretty good ever since. He is back to being his fussy self. Well sort of fussy. We are really buckling down on getting him on a schedule b/c he will sleep for 30 min then be up. We try to put him in his crib after holding him and he'll just wake up 10 min later and cry. I think he has gotten used to being held so I have been swaddling him nice and tight and that seems to work pretty well.
The weekend was fun. Saturday we went and bought new patio furniture. It has really made the backyard come together. It has been so nice here, weather-wise, that you can sit outside and be pretty comfortable. I'll post pictures of that later.
Yesterday I went up to Hempstead with Sylia to look at our friend's, Shannon Crawford, horse he has for sale. He is a FINISHED reiner and he is trying to sell him. So I am seriously looking at him to buy. :) Still trying to talk Matt into it, but we'll see. Jazzy, the horse, is one of those that I would keep forever. He's so well trained and so calm. He's completely trust worthy. I would be able to teach Blake and Bayleigh how to ride on him. I had so much fun. He is so well trained that it made me realize how inexperienced of a rider I am. LOL I mean, I thought I could ride and had a good seat, but the only way you can know if you are a good rider is to ride a reiner. And Shannon is so full of knowledge about horses and riding. He was starting 2 two year olds while we were out there as well. If I could ride with him every day I would. He is just that good and knows exactly what he is doing and he's so patient with the horses and with Sylia and I as well. He helps Sylia more with training her horse Joey, but he was telling me how to ride and what I was doing wrong. I can't wait to work with him again.
That evening we went over to the XO's house b/c Matt was going to throw the football with his son. It was fun. Then we hung out with them afterward by their pool for a couple of hours. Bayleigh had fun playing with their dog. She loved his wife. The XO kept telling his wife that she could not have anymore kids. Haha. I love how Bayleigh is such a people person, and while she may not listen so well while at the house, she is so good when out in public. She is such a good girl regardless, but she knows to listen to mommy and daddy if we are somewhere other than the house. I'm so glad we have instilled that in her. She is always so happy too. I can't brag enough about her. Blake was OK, like I said, he is getting used to being held a little too much, but it's OK. :)
Matt is leaving for New Orleans today until Thursday. I will probably be insane by the time he gets back. LOL I wish I could go with him. Maybe some other time. We are so looking forward to our trip to Pensacola in July. OH, the XO is going also for the show so we are going to meet up with them while there. They are a lot of fun to hang out with. They have a condo right next to our hotel. It's going to be a lot of fun. With the week we've had this past week, July can't come fast enough.
Well, blogger is being retarded about uploading pictures right now so I will upload them hopefully this evening when the kiddos are in bed. I have some ADORABLE ones of Miss B and Mr B. :)

at the hospital
We are at the hospital right now with Blake. He has an iv in his arm and they are running tests to check for the 3 major infections in an infant.....menigitis, urine infection, and blood infection. He has had a fever of 101 and his white blood count is high so he is fighting something. Trying not to freak out right now. please keep him in your prayers that this is nothing serious. He will have to stay here for 2 days and if everything is ok we'll be able to go home.

All WRONG!
So I got my hair colored on Saturday...yeah it's NOT the right color. The chick did it a brown/walnut color. I mean REALLY?!?! I told her dirty blonde, since I am trying to get back to my natural color, and plus my hair underneath the blonde I had was all natural. I am so pissed. Every time I look in the mirror I just get even more pissed off. So now after I drop B off at daycare, once B2 wakes up, I am going to go to a different place and see if they can get it fixed and show them a picture of the color. UGH! What a waste of money. I should have just bought some color from Wal-Mart and done it myself, yet I am too scared to do that. But I might check that out first before I go and spend even more money. Grrrrr

For All Mothers
This is for all the mothers who froze their buns off on metal bleachers at soccer games instead of watching from cars, so that when their kids asked, "Did you see my goal?" They could say, "Of course, I wouldn't have missed it for the world," and mean it. (this will be me one day :) and Thanks to my momma who wouldn't have missed one of my games for the world.)
This is for all the mothers who have sat up all night with sick children in their arms, wiping up barf laced with Oscar Meyer wieners and cherry Kool-Aid saying, "It's OK honey, Mommy's here."
This is for all the mothers of Kosovo who fled in the night and can't find their children. This is for the mothers who gave birth to babies they'll never see and for the mothers who took those babies and gave them homes.
For all the mothers who run carpools and make cookies and sew Halloween costumes and for all the mothers who don't.
What makes a good mother anyway? Is it patience? Compassion? Broad hips? The ability to nurse a baby, cook dinner, and sew a button on a shirt, all at the same time? Or is it heart? Is it the ache you feel when you watch your son or daughter disappear down the street, walking to school alone for the very first time?
The jolt that takes you from sleeping to dread, from bed to crib at 2 a.m. to put your hand on the back of a sleeping baby?
Is it the need to flee from wherever you are and hug your child when you hear news of a school shooting, a fire, a car accident, a baby dying?
I think so.
So this is for all the mothers who sat down with their children and explained all about making babies. And for all the mothers who wanted to but just couldn't.
This is for reading "Goodnight, Moon" twice a night for a year. And then reading it again, "Just one more time".
This is for all the mothers who mess up. Who yell at their kids in grocery store and swat them in despair and stomp their feet like a tired two year old who wants ice cream before dinner.
This is for all the mothers who taught their children to tie their shoelaces before they started to school and for all the mothers who opted for Velcro instead.
For all the mothers who bite their lips (sometimes until they bleed) when their 14 year olds dyed their hair green.
This is for all the mothers who lock themselves in the bathroom when babies keep crying and won't stop.
This is for all mothers who show at work with spit-up in their hair and milkstains on their blouses and diapers in their purse.
This is for mothers who teach their sons to cook and their daughters to sink a jump shot.
This is for all mothers whose heads turn automatically when a little voice calls "Mom?" in a crowd, even though they know their own offspring are at home or are grown.
This is for mothers who put pinwheels and teddy bears on their children's graves.
This is for all the mothers whose children have gone astray and who can't find words to reach them.
This is for all the mothers who sent their child to school with a stomach ache, assuring that they would be just FINE once they got there, only to get a call from the school nurse an hour later asking them to please pick them up right away.
This is for young mothers stumbling through diaper changes and sleep deprivation. And mature mothers learning to let go.
For working moms and stay-at-home moms. Single mothers and married mothers.
Mothers with money and mothers without.
This is for you, so hang in there. The world would be a terrible place without the love of mothers everywhere. You make it a more civil, caring and safe place for the precious children in our world.

For Booger
Since I am still all hormonal, I started crying when I read this. I love it though.
I cannot see you Mommy, when you cuddle me so near.
And yet I know you love me, it's in the words I hear.
I cannot see you Daddy, when you hold me by your side
But still I know you love me when you tell me so with pride.
I cannot see to run and play out in the sun so bright
For here inside my tiny head it's always dark as night.
I cannot see the treats you give when I am extra good
But I can wag my tail in Thanks just like a good dog should.
"He cannot see. The dogs no good" is what some folks might say
"He can't be trained, he'll never learn. He must be put away."
But not you, Mom and Daddy You know that it's alright
Because I love you just as much as any dog with sight.
You took me in, you gave me love and we will never part
Because I'm blind with just my eyes, I see you in my heart.

Randomness
Last night I got a really good workout in. It was AWESOME. I did 2 miles on the treadmill, then did legs and abs. I was sweating the whole time. It felt so good.
Today has been Ok. I dropped Miss B off at daycare and then picked her up at 130. She is still napping which is nice. Blake had a good day yesterday and the nights are getting better. We're up to every 3 hours now. I can't believe he's almost a month old. Hopefully this 2nd month we'll start sleeping through the night...:) Wishful thinking. I am trying to have a better attitude about his crying. It's gotten better, actually a lot better, but when you've been dealing with it non-stop the sound of it can make you go insane sometimes, so I've been learning to just go with the flow of things with that and dealing with B. But other than that things are good. He can hold his head up really well and look around. He was doing that just a few days after birth. He's a strong boy...he takes after me. LOL His eyes are still blue. I think they'll stay blue, but probably be a deeper blue than Bayleigh's. Her's are going to be like mine, light blue. :) People say she looks like me and now when they see Blake they see Matt.
On a totally different subject, I'm thinking about coloring my hair back to it's original color and just letting the sun do it's magic this summer. I really don't feel like keeping up with it right now and I'm wondering if that will really get the red out of my hair. I hope so. I'm going to go talk with my colorist tomorrow to see what she says. She already told me that it was going to take a couple of treatments to get the red out. UGH...money that I don't really want to spend right now.
Matt has duty tomorrow night. Sylia and I are going to have a wine night at my house tomorrow evening. She's going to check out my dresses that I have for her step-daughter's graduation. I have a couple in mind that I think she'll like. We've been out at the barn this week working Kim and Kevin's horses. Ruby is coming along nicely. She knows she's boss with Kim and Kevin so that's really been the main issue. She has done beautifully this week when I've worked with her and she's really smart. It's just her bossy/bitchiness that needs to be fixed. She's not mean in any way, she just knows how to be pushy since she's done it most of her life. But it's so fun for me and I get to experience working with a totally different horse to better my knowledge. Kevin is right..he told me yesterday that I "basically get to work and ride the horse and it's free for me to have my horse fix" instead of looking to buy another one. I love him and Kim. They are such wonderful people and Matt and I are so lucky to have met and be friends with them.
I've got dinner in the oven. A pork roast that will be done around 5. Yum. It's delish! Oooo Vampire Diaries tonight. It's the last episode before the season finale! Nooooo! LOL Can't wait. I'll have to catch it though after the barn and gym. Thank God for DVR. Haha!

A Good Day
Just thought I would post that I am having a better day. I have been going out to the barn since Monday to work Kim and Kevin's horse Ruby and it has been such a stress reliever for me. I have also been working out. I ran Monday at the gym with Rosie. I didn't go yesterday b/c I was longer out at the barn than I had plan to be, but I will gov to the gym this evening. I bought some new workout shorts and shoes. I'm excited about my shoes. They are supposed to be those easytoners by Reebok. I'm going to wear them all the time and from what I've read, they are supposed to make it feel like, well similar, to running on sand. My weight goal is 120 by our Pensacola trip in July for the Blues. I am 140 right now...eww..not happy about that. Not that that's a bad weight # but it's definitely not my ideal weight that I want to be. But I know I can do this. :) Plus I want my 6-pack abs back and that is going to take ab workouts and sprinting. I love sprinting. :) How I will do this with 2 kids is beyond me, LOL, but I will figure it out.
Well I am off to get Miss B from daycare. Just wanted to let you all know that I am doing better. :)
