he IS

your smile of innocence and not yet worldly discoveries
fresh tears of pure emotion are full of life and naive reality
a beautiful abundance filled with ooozing character and stunning
personality, you squeeze my heart with your being
and I am not even sure, who you are yet, who you are

to be

but he envelopes me with his whole self ♥

endearing spirit, old soul, have you been here before
my one and only true, unconditional love, you have all of me
a blessing from above that crowded my belly full of felicity
anticipation of your visitation, a lasting encounter I will always hold dear
your jollity forever holds my attention, and I pray that integrity fills your soul

his existence checks me with his actuality ♥

my protection of your goodness that come so naturally at this moment
the simplicity of your individual revelation as you slowly unveil your creation
that God has presented you in lives of autonomous adoration, you complete me
your spurts of identity and new found independence excite and astound
the alluring endearment you anoint with your modest unknowing charm

his life has brought life back into mine, complimentary
his love has rejuvenated my faith, colossal
his person has made me a better one, immensely

his innocence has become my reality, more than you know
his entirety has become inescapable, and I want a front row seat

his small voice echoing life, opens my ears to life in sound, out loud
his HE is all I want him to be, and more, and pray for him to keep and BECOME
his presence, is my acknowledgment of thanks, appreciation everyday that he is here and I get to share in his love and existence profoundly

♥

besos & blessings ALL!

try n to blog yo

okay, so i have been trying to blog ALL WEEK and it just hasn't been happen n'. i have tried to go and view some of my blog-a-licious bloggers' blogs as well, STRUGGLING people....sigh.

i was once again moved back to my old department that i was moved from right before Christmas. i have already moved 7 times in one year since being with this company. good grief yanno.

so the department i am back in, is more crazy busy than the others, lots of little tiny steps and paying attention in great detail. so there goes my blogging time - well i mean there goes my blogging time A LOT LESS. (i see you sticking your tongue at me HALLIE - that is not very nice) [hehehehehehehehee] (notice how much ms H gets linked on my blog, you'd think she was someone super important huh? {giggle} well she IS, & i love to give her these (+) (+) (+) tee hee hee!) wink n at Scarlett!

okay, so i am not say n' that i am not going to blog or visit my fav blog-a-licious bloggers, no no, not at all....it will just be even HARDER for me to do so - but i can't stop completely, i am to addicted to you guys! plus one of the main reason for doing this whole blog n gig was so i could document my shnookie doodles & keep peeps up to date on things. this is sort of my diary and then some - a diary that you guys have the key to, a diary where you guys know where i keep it at and are welcome to flip through it any time. :o)


the LIVING OUT LOUD version of my diary.


so NO NO - I am not going anywhere, keep check n me out. i am trying for a blog AT LEAST once a week - if not more. :o)~


meanwhile, here is my latest ISH to dish:

shnookie doodles with be 18 months Monday the 10th and i so can not believe how the time has just flown by, this time last year he was my little bald headed butterball baby and not SO mobile [hehehehee].

have to love this no - makeup mama- hair a frizzy mess pic above, right Scarlett? wink!

i get so excited watching him grow and learn and become this tiny little individual person with an actual personality! he is simply amazing and then some to me. he expresses his likes and dislikes now, in fact we had our first public temper tantrum last week at bruegger's bagels. i was just standing there like, "ohmygosh! i am one of those people with one of THESE small people!" and the thing is - it wasn't even real, right after he started the tantrum he then started giggling.

he must have copied someone at daycare , he does that a lot i see, copying people and things. he really isn't a big "fusser" (my word peoples) he is a very happy little guy. in fact the people in brueggers were gushing about how totally cute he was....and that little dude was LOVING every minute of it. he is a HAM. and yes, he is a little bit spoiled. but he is my FIRST and ONLY and i guess that is just how the cookie crumbles with us. {ha}

he is growing like a weed, and often he eats like i can not believe (and then sometimes he is super picky and won't eat anything BUT fruit- go figure) he is now fitting into his 18 month clothes pretty good - so pretty soon we will need to go shopping for bigger. he is going to be THIN and LONG/TALL i am sure. right now he is in a size 4 shoe, i think we will be hitting 5's any day/week now.

my fav thing about him right now, he loves to come and give mommy some "love" (hugs & kisses). i don't even have to ask, he just comes over and does it. he used to sleep in while i got ready for work, now he gets up right after i do, he walks in the living room with this sleepy face, rubbing his eyes and holding his arms up for me to pick him up (every morning) i pick him up and give him some love n' and then i sit him next to me on the couch. we watch the news for a little bit while i do my "face" and then we watch backyardigans. he continues to watch his shows as i finish getting ready (of course he pops in and out to bring me toys or just tell me something in shnookie doodle language, or drop things in the toilet, or to see how much toilet paper really comes off the roll) and then i get him ready for school - all the while him talking to me and giggling (and complaining when brushing TEETH) and then he goes back to his shows while I fix his breakfast to take to school (oatmeal with fresh bananas, strawberries and sometimes various other berries. he comes and sneaks a few as i am fixing it) i give him his vitamin and then we put on our coats and head out the door. he now WALKS out the door to the car (with the help of mommy sometimes, especially up the big flight of stairs) by himself now......WOW. he truly amazes me. he even carries his little book bag with his breakfast in it now and then. (we are only 5ish minutes from his daycare and 5ish minutes from my office)



here is my little dude NOW and i am so blessed to get to be his mommy.

this is at the park on the swings this past Sunday.


i realize i really need to write more about mr K. so i will have something to look back on to REMEMBER all these FABULOUS times with. i hope he will get a kick out of it when he is older as well. and i have to say, this really is the best time of my life right now, preparing a life and observing it blossom.....there is nothing like being a mommy in this entire world (not even being one of Janet Jackson's Dancers (a serious dream of mine) nothing at all) shnookie doodles takes the cake!

~~
just for fun, take a look at these pics below, talk about POST IT NOTES! WOW!

HAPPY FRIDAY, BLESSED WEEKEND!

blog n on a saturday

okie dokie, so here i am actually blogging on a weekend day - odd for me.

weekends are usually pretty busy with shnookie doodles and family, errands, playing at the parks, laundry, running around and doing "stuff" and church. but today (Saturday) i am here in the office running license plates for investigators across the US and typing, proof reading reports etc....

yea, woo me! fun!

not.

good thing is, i came in at 8am and will be leaving a little after NOON - so i still will have a lot of my Saturday left to go do "stuff".

needless to say mr. shnookie doodles was not happy that mommy was leaving him to go to work this morning. as soon as Carlyssa (babysitter and good friend) came over this morning, shnookie doodles was suddenly attached to my leg like super glue.

looking up at me with these sad puppy dog eyes and pouty lips.....

"mommy, mommy, mommy, mommeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee......." he desperately hung on to me not wanting to let go. good thing mommy made him his fav cereal and Carlyssa had it waiting on hand for him. :o) (mixed grain baby oatmeal mixed with mixed berry applesauce, cut up bananas and cut up fresh strawberries) he loves that stuff - she was his new best friend. eating his cereal and watching backyardigans he pleasantly smiled at me and said, "bubye mommeeeeee".

nuff said.

so here i am, at work, thanks to a long 2 week and some dance with the freaking flu. i am feeling better today though. thank God. that flu is NO JOKE people. ugh. i pray you don't get it, if you haven't already. plain yucky it is.....and i hardly ever get sick.

i have to tell you a quick FUNNY before i sign off and go back to WORKING like i should be doing, but i am not [heheeheheheeeee] i am proofing this report (i work in insurance fraud investigation, in case you missed that) this case is about a husband and wife (i am assuming they live in government housing etc....they are not well off, not that there is anything wrong with G-housing, let me just add THAT, either that or they could be homeless) first, the wife, makes a claim with our client that while she was at Burger Kingdom (i will change the names for security reasons, lol) in Illinois (somewhere) she had to go to the restroom after ordering her food. while the claimant (wife) was in the restroom, the toilet tissue dispenser fell on her head leaving her with a NASTY bump on her noggin, in fact it almost knocked her out.....

okay, are you visualizing this right now? really....THINK ABOUT THIS.

[heheheheheheeeeee]

the impact was so horrific that it made her lose her appetite and she could no longer eat her BK whopper, fries and milkshake. (eh HEM) she also NOW has a detached retna (ummmmmmmm) from the IMPACT. so she placed a claim with our client to get some mula outa BK. (eh HEM) now get this, the claimant's husband a week later, has the same claim, but in ANOTHER Burger Kingdom. he too had to use the restroom after ordering his food and while using the restroom (just like his wife) he too was hit in the head with the toilet tissue dispenser......um.....me thinks i see a PATTERN? lol he too could no longer eat his whopper, fries and drink. and he thinks NOW he could be suffering from a COMA. (hummmm......)

now, come to find out BOTH BK's told the claimant and husband that if they mopped the floor for them, they would give them these meals FREE, because they had no mula at that time.

things that make you go HUM.

okay, so this is the part where i think the FUNNY comes in (not to mention the poor investigator that has to actually investigate this entire situation with photos and reenactments).....HA!

ah....if i could only show you the actual report w/ photos and comments. HILARIOUS.

but anyway.....

take a look at this photo:

notice WHERE the toilet paper is LOCATED. as it is in MOST public restrooms......

now take a look at this photo: see the toilet tissue dispenser? now imagine sitting on the toilet - doing your BIZ (i know Hallie is just love n' this right now....lol)

mmmmmmmmk?

so.....HOW does the TOILET DISPENSER fall on your head while you are sitting there?

anyone? anyone?

(i too will give out 736 bonus points to the person who can explain this to moi)

scroll back up and look at the photos. imagine the dispenser falling on your head.

how does one's head get UNDER the dispenser - where it is LOCATED.

yea.......right.....

this is what we deal with A LOT here, where i work.

lol you have no idea.....this is just a TASTE of it. [heheheheheeeee]

but seriously.... i even tried to go in the PUBLIC restroom here and recreate this situation. for the life of me, i can not figure out HOW any one's HEAD can get under that thing - while SITTING on the POT.....much less have it fall off and hit me (you) in the head?!?!?!?!

funny stuff sometimes i tell ya.

and this: is just something i thought was interesting and wanted to share with you.

this is one of the photos i found when googling public restrooms.....LOL

HAPPY SATURDAY KIDDOS!

Peace out \/ two fingers!

Be Blessed!
