Wordless Wednesday: Sisters.

Dear Santa...

I know that I'm not Charli ...

But I'm really sick of seeing the same old toys laying around my house that you,

Mr. Big Stuff keep bringing to my house year after year.

Could you please stop and become a little creative this time?

Here is part of my wish list for little miss " I've been good all year long"

This can be found @ this etsy shop!

Adorable & handy all in one!

& this one will be here, if you decide to bring it her way.

Thank you,

*from* The Momma that is tired of seeing toy commercials already

{it's only the first of November!!!}

P.S.

I'll be updating my Dear Santa letters whenever I find more.

Mail time

Charli Beth loves receiving things in the mail, remember the necklaces we purchased from Etsy a couple of weeks ago? Every time someone asks where they are from her reply is "the mail sent them." Very adorable if I must say so myself. I love it whenever she comes up with cute little sayings like "mmhhh, this is delightful!" Now seriously? People that live in Kentucky do not use the word delightful in a sentence. ha!

Yesterday, we received this cute little dog in the mail!

I won it in a giveaway a little while back ago, and we were very excited to get it! It is just adorable in "real" life as it is in the pictures!

Thank you so much!

Fabulous Finds FRIDAY

..it may be Saturday already but work has been a bit busy. Oh well



This is my adorable friend Emily's blog and let me just try tell you how stinkin' cute her quilts, purses and security blankets are! Emily and I went to high school together, and although we never knew each other very well, we should of been the best of friends because ...well just because I said so ;o) ha! I'm playing she is the sweetest thing ever and I really think that you all would be amazed at her work! She was recently contacted by 2 sisters out of Winchester, KY wanting to sell her items, {some of you may live close to that town "Dreaming Tree Studio"} . This store only sells handmade items, how neat is that? I am very excited for her and just wanted to share another great seller!

Here is the link to her etsy shop: http://www.etsy.com/shop/RagsandRibbons

Also, Please say a prayer for Gavin Owens, three year old that is suffering from Mitochondrial disease. I should of posted a prayer request for this little angel several months ago whenever I first started reading about him, although I failed to do so I have been praying my heart out for him. The last blog update from earlier today that I read, his Mother Karen stated that they were going to take him off of the ventilator tonight whenever the family arrived and say their goodbyes. This little boy has been suffering for a such a long time and I pray that this family finds the peace that they are needing while Gavin is now pain free. I can never imagine the pain and guilt that his parents are feeling at this moment with having to a make a decision like this.

We have all heard about the Ft. Hood, TX shooting & now the shooting that has occurred in Orlando, FL. We need to be on our hands & knees praying for our country. What has happened? Such horrible and tragic events. If you work in Emergency Services or Law enforcement, you know that the worst time for Murder Suicides, domestics and murders is during Thanksgiving and Christmas. I hope that we do not continue to see awful events like this occurring in our nation.

speaking of domestics...back to work = /

Thankful Thursday

Today I am thankful for my one and only, the girl that makes up my world, for today I know she is safe in the arms of my family.

Please pray for my family as we search for her a new daycare or preschool. Pray that we make the right decision. It's hard to get attached to someone and then having to break apart from them so very quickly for a reason that we never thought would be possible. Someone that has been through the journey with us, since Charli was 3 months old. It saddens me, that not only us but several other families are going through the same scared, hurt, sadness, and being seriously mad that we are.

The joys of a toddler

Seriously?
We have started a marker and sticker obsession lately, I hope it ends very soon.

This adorable couple that are the parents of a beautiful little girl are going to have a giveaway for their blogging Anniversary which is November 11th, and whenever the giveaway will end. The prize is a hand painted sign from Flip Flopz. Whether you enter the giveaway or not you should head on over to check out the blog and the Flip Flopz etsy site!

"Next to creating a life, the finest thing a man can do is save one."
- Abraham Lincoln

What is the deal with men being so "scared" of women working in ems? I don't know any other word to use than SCARED. I am capable...beyond capable of helping a paramedic save a life {or a million}. I can hold my own weight pretty darn well but for some reason men do not see this. Heck...women too! If I hurt my back, then I hurt it, I am sure there are plenty of men that have back, knee, shoulder problems from working EMS too.

I have applied in over 5 counties for an EMT job, and have not heard a single thing from any of them. I called back to one place not to long ago, he practically hung up on me? It almost broke my spirits completely but I tried to keep in mind that there are other counties. I applied in my own county and asked them to hold my application until something came available because I would always be interested in this career. They have now hired {once a-freakin-gin} a man. What in the world? Even though I am young, I have been working at 911 for two years now, shouldn't that be a great reference? Ahh, forget it.

It's the same thing with law enforcement, have I just picked two of the worst careers for women to be in or what? I know I probably sound freaking ridiculous having a big rampage over a blog but I'm not at home, I'm sadly at work, and chatting with my Mom about it through facebook messages isn't doing justice.

Trick-or-Treat 2009

For the most part today, I did nothing-zero-nada-zip ..nothing at all but slept since I work third on the weekend. While I was getting my much needed beauty rest Charli got her finger nails painted black by her Nana, went to town to see Aunt Peggy, and played with little boys at her great Aunts. I eventually woke and started helping my Suzie Homemake of a Momma with her pumpkin cupcakes {yum!}, potato soup, apple dumplings, pigs in a blanket, and etc. I must admit, that I didn't help much at all except stealing pumpkin cupcakes every chance I had. Those were truly delicious!

Later in the afternoon Mom, Mark, and I took little Miss trick-or-treating. For the longest time she was not going to say "trick-or-treat" until I was the bad Momma and informed her that no one would give her anymore candy unless she said it. I know, how awful am I? Oh well...it worked.

Miss Sassy pants does not like for her picture to be taken

Mean Cat.

Finally cute again.

In action getting her candy.

Best friend picture...Charli was mad and trying to run away since we were taking more pictures.

BOO!

Hope that you & your families had a wonderful Halloween!
