Goooooood Morning Blog World!!!

My first Facebook status this morning says: "Up and about cuz Stinker McStinken pooped and woke me up. He was all "Good morning, Mom! I made you a present." JOY!!! PennDot's out. It's snowing. I need cake." I love waking up to poopy diapers. (No joke.) It gives me a reason to get out of bed before Ashton does so I can see his smiling face as soon as he rolls out of bed. :) I love waking up to my baby period because lately, I have ran into a lot of stories about 4 month olds losing their lives. It scares the hell out of me.

Today, it's not raining so bad in my apartment...It's snowing like mad outside. Little parts of my kitchen ceiling are falling on the floor. Typical after a rainfall.

And yep...I got my damn cake for breakfast. Baked 2 last night. I rock.

I have the most awesome kids with the most awesome names. (Some background on my family here.) Ashton Phoenix was born 9/6/01 at 4:08 pm weighing 7 pounds 11 ounces and measuring 20.5 inches. Zephyr Shawn Anthony was born 11/10/10 at 9:50 am weighing 7 pounds and measuring 20 inches. Ashton's name...Well, I was going to name him Sebastian but my cousin has a son named Sebastian so I decided against that. I ended up waking up in the middle of the night, saying to Ashton's Dad (I'll explain THAT later) "His name is Ashton" and falling back to sleep. It stuck. Richard picked out Phoenix. Ashton was not named after Ashton Kutcher. That Ashton wasn't famous yet. Zephyr's name is from the movie Lords of Dogtown. I saw the name even before I got pregnant and said if we ever had a boy, that would be his name. Shawn and I had predetermined that if we ever had children, he'd pick out the girl's name and I'd pick the boy name. He had already picked out Lilly Marie. Shawn wanted the baby to be Shawn Ray Jr. if it was a boy. I always liked Willow Raven for a girl. We compromised. That's healthy for all relationships, right? :) So, since I liked my girl name and Shawn wanted a junior, I said the boy name could be Zephyr Shawn as long as the girl was Lilly Marie Raven. But then I decided that if our girl had 2 middle names, our boy needed 2 middle names. What better than honor my Daddy? So there ya have it. Zephyr Shawn Anthony.

To add to my crazy life, I have a ton of cats. Their names are Project Pat the Hood Rat Cat, Duchess Muffy the Cute and Fluffy, Trip, Sportacus, Brownie, Lil Baby Orange Guy, Oobi Goober, Squishy, and Madeline Eloise. I love them all. Don't tell me I need to get rid of them or that I have too many of them. They are my children as well. I have human kids and feline kids. We're all happy. Deal with it.

Enjoy pics of my life. I even included one of Zephyr breast feeding. And don't you dare tell me that's wrong. That's damn beautiful. I'm saving the government and tax payers money by feeding my son for free...If you don't like it, piss off.
