Long week....

"Change only happens when the pain of holding on is greater than the fear of letting go."

Well, some stuff is going to be a little different for a while.  Don't want to mention anything on here yet, just wanted to let anyone who reads this know, things are going to be a little different for a while.  I might not be able to update as often as I'd like, but I will do my best.  Need prayers, and positivity in my life right now.  So if you're out there, please do that for me.  Thanks.  and Goodnight.  

Much love,
Luci

Easter

Today was fun!  Went up to my parents' house in Orange County to celebrate Easter.  My family was there, minus a few who are either overseas or were sick, and we ate a LOT of good food and had a great time.

Don't have much else to say except share some pictures of this weekend.  :-)

How was your Easter?

My little booger ready to go to church.

Much love,

OMG. Chocolate Disaster

So while I was blogging my last post, Cailin got into my purse and took out a Snickers bar I had been saving in there for a rainy day.  When I turned around, this is what I was faced with.  


According to her, she is a "Chocolate Monster"!

*headdesk*

So I cleaned her up and this is the aftermath. 
My little chocolate monster-turned clean.



It's very true....you know, what they say?  When your children are quiet, it means they're up to something.  Usually it's not something good.  Hahaha!

Okay.  Back to the joys of laundry!

Much Love,
Luci

Freaky Friday

Today's my day off and I'm planning on spending it productively.  Got up this morning bright and early, woke my baby girl up since she didn't have school today because it's Good Friday, got ourselves ready after breakfast and got OUT of the house.  Ran some errands (bank, groceries, etc), and then made our way to Downtown Pacific Beach.  There's an awesome store down there called Pangea, it has everything you can THINK of.  Can I just say how proud I am that I have a kid who won't touch things in stores, knock stuff over, run amuck?  I'm SO proud.  All I have to tell her is "Baby, just stay close to mommy and don't touch anything please."  and she's following me around like my shadow, gawking at all the pretty little things we see.  After Pangea, we were both hungry, so since it was our "Mommy/Daughter Day Out" I took her to McDonald's for some chicken nuggets (Filet o' Fish for me), and a strawberry lemonade, then made our way home.  I'm thinking of spending the rest of the day doing laundry (yuck), washing dishes (even more Yuck), putting something out for dinner, and then relaxing catching up on some dvr'd shows and playing some COD.  Yes, I'm a nerd.  Bite me. 



Here's how my week went:

The Positives:
+Got my paycheck. Woot!
+Lots of hours at work. Puppies puppies puppies!
+Started this blog, and have kept up with it so far.
+Making some kick ass Carrot Cake cookies for Easter Sunday at my parents.
+Looking forward to spending Easter with my family again this year!
+Feeling more positive everyday.  This is a difficult task for me!

The Negatives:
-Cailin having an ear infection. Dealing with a sick and whiney 3 year old=not fun.
-Spent a quarter of my paycheck already.  Booo.
-Not enough sleep.  Enough said.
-Awkward learning how to fill my tires up with air.  Yes, I'm THAT much of a girl.
-Got scratched on my throat by a cat at work.  



My week's playlist:

1. Rolling in the Deep - Adele
2. Good People - Jack Johnson
3. Price Tag - Jessie J
4.  The Cave - Mumford and Sons
5. Fidelity - Regina Spektor
6.  This - Darius Rucker
7. Stupid Boy - Sarah Buxton
8. Daisy Cutter - 311
9.  What the Hell - Avril Lavigne
10.  Say - John Mayer

I listen to a variety of stuff, (as noted above), and anyone who listens to one of my mixed cds usually tells me it's the MOST random cd they've ever heard.  Meh.  I don't like to limit myself to just one band, or one genre of music.  I like listening to almost everything, and I usually find something to relate to in every song on my IPod.  This just happens to be this week's favorite songs for me…old and new. 

What's up with this weather, so-cal?  It goes from being freakin' frigid, to the sun showing it's face and warmth for a couple of days, then back to cold chilly weather.  Enough of the bipolarness, weather!  Give us some freakin' sun and heat! It's almost summer, for God's sake.  I want to be able to lay out in my baby pool in the backyard with a daiquiri in my hand.  No, seriously. 



Overall, I'm just glad this week is over.  Tomorrow I work all day (yeah, boo to work on a Saturday, but I need the hours), but Sunday morning we're driving up to my family's house in Orange County.  Looking forward to that.  So with that, I'm signing off for now.  

Much Love,
Luci

Just another day

So Cailin has been sick all week, and both Shawn and I didn't know what to do about her.  It's so difficult when kids have a cold or cough, because you can't give them any OTC medicine like Dimetapp because of some ingredient they can't have until they're 6 years old.  Shawn took her to the doctor today, turns out it was just an ear infection.  We've been lucky, this is only her second ear infection and she's almost 4 years old.  So she's on antibiotics now and hopefully will be better by this weekend for Easter.  PHEW.


My life source. :)



QOTD



Everyone have a Happy Easter weekend!

Much love,
Luci

Love Love Love

What makes you smile?

I have a lot of things that make me break out into a silly grin, but this really just makes my whole being truly and completely happy.


My baby girl and our Tango-roo.  The pictures on top were when he was a puppy and the ones below are the most recent.  Just love how much bigger he's gotten and how he still loves his baby just the same as when we brought him home.  

Much love,
Luci

Here goes nothing.

So here I am, attempting this blog thing again.  I plan on exploring this city called San Diego, snapping shots of all the little things I love, and art I see everyday, and sharing it on here for those of you who are vaguely interested enough to keep up with my crazy life.  With apologies first that time might be scattered between posts, I do have a job, and am a full time mother, so life does get a bit hectic around here.  So here begins my new adventures, wish me luck loves.
