Oh the Dentist….

I went to the dentist the other day for the first time in about 3 years.  I knew going into it, that the news was probably not going to be what I wanted to hear.  So after an hour and a half I found out that I have 9 cavities and will be getting all 4 wisdom teeth pulled soon. OUCH!!
This was disturbing because I brush my teeth RELIGIOUSLY!!! I am constantly worried about my teeth.  I could swear, toothpaste is secretly made to cause cavities.  I think toothpaste makers and dentists have some sort of agreement going on. LOL!!
On another note, I am still working on the #2 potty training with my 4 year old.  At this rate he will be wearing a diaper on his first date! Feel free to give advice on this PLEASE!!! :)
Sometimes being a mommy can get overwhelming.  I have my two little boys, and a husband that is always either at work or sleeping.  I had a moment the other day where I just wanted to take a time out because the day was never-ending and full of screaming little boys!! I need to just remember to take a breath and try to relax during naptime (if naptime happens LOL).
I am thankful for all of the help I have here though.  Being a military family means you may not be close to your family, but I have made a family here.  I am thankful that my husband gets to help me whenever he can, and I have the best friends in the world.  Without my girls I would seriously be checking into the cuckoo house ;)
Wish me luck tomorrow as it is the day I have my oral surgery consultation!  I guess I will find out when I get these suckers out!
Have a good day everyone!!!

Can a Mommy Catch a BREAK?!?

Okay, so I have no clue when my four year old will do his number 2 duty on the potty.  I am at wits end with this!  He will literally hold it until I put a diaper on him at night….then one or two minutes later he goes. UGH!!!!
I have tried EVERYTHING everyone has told me so far. It is almost like he is afraid of sitting on the toilet. What am I doing wrong?? I need people's advice here because mommy is really tired of changing a four year old's diaper! LOL.
On a lighter note, I hope everyone is enjoying MLK day today.  I had a fabulous weekend that was PACKED full of fun activities.  I had finals to do, but I got them done in time…barely! :) I actually got to go on a date with my hubby, which never happens! So nice!
So I need all those mommy's out there to PLEASE give me advice on the #2 with my four year old. I am willing to try ANYTHING because at this rate he will be wearing a diaper to bed when he goes to college!

Rough Day!

So the past couple days I have just been grouchy. My poor family gets the brunt of it too! Maybe I am grouchy because I am dreading going to the dentist soon, or because I am stressed out about EVERYTHING on my plate! I am almost done with school, and that in itself is becoming a challenge.
My boys keep me busy all day every day, but lately it has just become a constant chore of mine. That may sound kind of harsh, but I think am cleaning mess after mess ALL day long.  Hopefully I can catch a break today!
I had a reality check earlier when I was watching a story about a handicapped individual.  I really need to just look at today and realize things can be worse.  I truly am blessed, and I just need to stop sometimes to realize that.  The handicapped individual did not chose his life, but that's what he was dealt. I, thankfully, have been given the gift of a fairly easy life when it comes down to it.
Thanks for listening to me rant about my rotten day :) I hope you all can realize that we have it pretty good, and there are always times when things can be worse than they really are. Here's to a better day!! :)

My Very First Post ;)

Okay, I guess I should start this thing off with a little introduction about myself.  First of all, I must say that I will not be grammatically correct, or use correct punctuation most of the time so bear with me.  
My name is Crystal and I am a stay at home mom to two wonderful boys, ages 4 and 19 months.  I have been married to the most amazing man and my best friend going on 3 years now.  He is active duty Army, and is a military police officer.  
I am a full-time online student (insert opinions about that here Lol), and I am about to graduate in April with a degree in Healthcare Administration.  The online schooling has worked great for me, since I have a lot on my plate. 
Which brings me to my blog title.  I picked the word "multifaceted" because that pretty much sums up who I am. I am a wife, a mommy, a student, a friend, and still an individual.  There are many things that I do on a daily basis, but at the end of the chaotic day, I am still Crystal. I believe in my goals and will pursue them as long as it takes me to accomplish them.  
Hopefully this blogging experience will give me a chance to just sit back and look at how much I am blessed. I am a very busy woman, but I wouldn't change that for anything.  
Thanks to everyone willing to follow my journey, and I look forward to your comments and thoughts!
