"Bigges HUG evahhhhhh"

Ever since BooBooBear was able to talk she would always ask for hugs. Heck since she was a tiny infant she wanted to give me hugs... These are those heartfelt...squeezes. The ones that you just do not want to stop. I LOVE my kiddos' snuggles... I just love them. We are an affectionate family and I just love to snuggle up to my babes.

Sometimes BooBooBear would continue until you really would have to extricate yourself - to get things done. Sometimes I would fall asleep in that comfortable embrace. And sometimes I would say... "that's not as much as a hug as yesterday..." - to which she would reply... "Do you want a biggah hug?"and then she would squeeze me as hard as she could.

Thus the birth of "tha Bigges...HUG... EVAHhhhhhhhhs"... It would happen so often... Starting with the familiar question...

Boo: "Ma-me (mommy), do you wan tha bigges hug EVAH?" (gradually getting louder as said)
Me: "ooo of course I do!"
And then the huge hug (well for a little toddler) and sometimes it would continue to...
Boo: "o I can do anuddah one bettah" and
Me: "OK let's see"
So it would be almost nightly - and before naps too...really whenever she needed a squeeze & a squish.

My Bigges Hugs Evah's  continued through many years... then suddenly were forgotten or stopped this past year. BooBoo didn't stop hugging. No, she just stopped giving me giant huge hugs labeled has BHEs (which were actually getting REALLY strong and I would have to ready myself for them). I hadn't really forgotten my special hugs - but had. Life was hard and busy this year. Until recently I didn't even notice they had stopped.

Then suddenly - just as suddenly as they had stopped, and as I realized I was missing them, they started back up again last weekend...

Boo: "Momma do you want the  "bigges hug EVAH?" (gradually getting louder as said)
Me: "ooo of course I do!" "You haven't done one of these in FOREVERrrrrrrr!!"
Boo: "WHAT?" (the way Boo says that phrase is another whole post in itself)
"REALLY?? Hmmmm"
And then the huge hug (and this time was HUMONGOUS) and then continued to...
Boo: "o I can do anathah one bettah wanna see?"
Me: "OK let's see"
And sure enough... it was bigger, and BETTER.

Tha Bigges HUG EVAHHHhhhhhh are Mommy's special hugs... something just between my baby girl and me and I cherish them and hope they never end.
I missed those hugs and am so glad they are back!!!

Oops life happens... again...

Been awhile since I posted and man I SWORE I was going to keep it updated with the fun of Christmas with my family here... but well... family time was sooo much more important! I know you know what I mean (those two people that read this... lol).

But seriously - I had HIGH hopes for the start of this year... and now well - looky here! It's already the 11th (doh now the 12th since it's after midnight) and I feel like I can just NEVER get on top of all the things pulling at me. 2011 is supposed to be the year that I feel like I am actually back to being me... Kymmie. The one whom is organized, put together, the go-to gal, the one who actually can maintain a clean/decluttered house...

Aaaaaa who am I kidding. Baby steps right? Just because the clock turned a new year upon us... and that I am feeling a bit more human (mentally and physically) well excruciatingly... slowly pulling myself out of the sewers of our terrible year- doesn't mean that I should expect miracles... should it? I still need to work on my resolutions and also on my New Year's cards... maybe that will kick-start me in to getting with the program?!

For now I leave you with a few photos of a wonderful vacation with a wonderful family and promise to pull what little of myself I have right now... together.
