Monday night and I can't sleep

My insomnia is getting so BAD !! I can't focus on anything I have a hard time remembering what day it is.. Kinda off subject of blog but I haven't been posting so I figured what else to do but let yall know I haven't fallen off the planet or stuck on a deserted island - that doesn't sound half bad especially if I had a margarita and sexy men fanning me.. Honestly my teenage boys have kept me sooo busy you would think the older they get the chances of doing things like going to the bathroom without a knock on the door SORRY LADIES !! It never ends. Well now holidays are over & life is almost back to normal I want to start writing again. To me writing means so much more to me it's freedom, it's a release of emotions it's the one thing that takes the pressure off my chest and clears my mind of all the thoughts racing through my ADD head.. I can't always express my feelings when speaking face to face.. With love always kristen (KK)

it was worth the wait so ill get right to it

2. tree hut shea butter body scrub - tropical mango smells amazing cant wait to use

3. H20 shampoo - smells very clean and fresh

4. Coolway - boost ive never seen this product so im guessing its to help with damaged hair due to blow dryers and hot irons.

little bits of thoughts

I'm feeling spring in the air ! its that time of year in Texas that you don't know what to wear. So I stick with the basics pajama pants & tee shirts unless I have to go into public then its sweat pants & tee shirts. Don't get me wrong I love getting dressed up I just don't think its practical in my daily routine.
As a stay at home mom I wake up around 6:30 - 7:00ish to send Daniel and my boys out of the house. Then it's time for that first cup of coffee for most of us its our life line with out that cup heads may spin like a remake of exorcist right there smack dab in the kitchen. Unhappiness through out the whole day.  The day begins just like most by cleaning so that doesn't make me wanna throw on a pair of heels with a pant suit or show my ass jeans. its all about comfort I dress for my life not what some magazine article says is the newest trend.
Just a side note I love all these new mom blogs that try to give tips or tricks of how to be a perfect parent most of them start of by saying how old their children are (most of them under 4), and they are staying home the first couple years. I have to say its more comedy than good read. I really hope they continue well into child's teen years I'm pretty sure they wont seem so tight ass yuppie weird. 
I know here I am with my blog and still very fresh to the idea I can admit I started this to help with my ADD & depression and so far it seems to make me feel good. I am hoping to get on a steady schedule.

Living with lupus

I started writing something not sure what it will turn into. It's better to live with no expectation it's the best way to avoid disappointment.
I have been dealing all my life with hip and back pain but about 3 years ago I just kept getting sick. last year I finally got a diagnoses of lupus it's not what I expected.
So between the meds and overwhelming exhaustion I wanted to remind myself all the life events I was dealing with also my symptoms. Seriously the most important thing to me is that my family knows I love them and wanted to make sure they knew everyday is a great gift given to me.
I am a goofy, fun, loving life, girlie girl so lupus has put a major bump in my journey down the road of life.

Life is one big kick in the rear

I haven't had much time to really sit down and write about anything. So here I go - blah blah blah !

Seriously I have some great news Daniel & I finally got married !! After 15 years we both decided it was time. I was starting to get a little nervous that we would never do it. We both decided we wanted a very small wedding it was only Daniel & I the 3 boys and a wonderful JP. I kissed him 3 times before we said our I do's the excitement was over whelming absolutely perfect.

I have so many products I've played with since my last blog post. As much as I love watching unboxing vlogs and reading what people have received I wanna know if it works or worth the
Money.

So most of you know I've been dealing with lupus & many other health issues. I have good days and horrible days. I pray every night that the next day will be a great day. So with all of that said lets talk about what makes every woman glow with joy - a new purchase, the perfect shade of lipstick and our secrets of staying youthful and beautiful :)

Wednesday project

I have been lazy, busy, happy, confused !! I have so much to share with everybody it took me a few minutes, hours, days to get organized so first thing is a project I'm working on. If you don't know I love getting in over my head with the wildest ideas. So this one started as a old cheap chandelier I picked out of a neighbors trash I can't stand seeing good stuff go to land fills - I'm not a hoarder but I have a vision for recycling. My first thought was paint add some color but DIY websites and my inability of simplicity I couldn't stop there. http://dollarstorecrafts.com/2010/05/make-a-beaded-chandelier/ I'm incorporating a lil of the beads & some fun spray paint !! This is beginning of a great project as soon as I get to computer I'll post pics

It's a absolutely beautiful Texas weekend ! Getting a lil stressed can't find my car keys it's been couple days since I've last had them. So instead of cooking and relaxing I'm on the great search - BIG TIME BUMMER !!
