Beauty in the common things: baby sleeping in his own bed
Listen in: music playing from the babies room, wind out the window, and the fox news channel from my room.
dinner was: steak, asparagus, and potatos
Tonight I am sad. I am homesick. I want to drive down the beach and listen to the waves roll in. I want to hear seagulls and water laping the pilings. I miss home. I miss Monica and Autumn. I wish that San Leon wasn't 5 hours away. I want to go sit in the garage at Monica's and play cards or drive around without a plan to garage sale. I need time with my best friend. That person who knows so much about you that nothing is a suprise and they don't care anyway. I need that right now. I just feel sad. The Lord is trying to show me something and I am impatient to see what it is.

Listen in: Baby boy playing in his bouncy
View from the front door: a dreary morning that has all the promise of a beautiful day!
Dinner Plans: its McDonalds Night!
Plans for the day: Home with baby boy who is sick, the girls Easter parties at school, Mcdonalds with a half a dozen of my closest friends, Aunt Alana is coming to town, and I plan to clean on my house some.
Beauty in the common things: Bird chirping and blessed by the simple spring shower we just had
I can't believe it has been almost two months since I posted a message on my blog. Wow! Ok maybe I can...since I tend to be sporatic at best. Much has happened in our little corner of Texas! The best news is that DH finally has a better schedule! Instead of heading to work at 3am every day...he will work 1pm to 8pm. This is actually awesome! The options are not all that great in his job. We can get up as a family and go to bed as a family. Wonderful! I work alot in the evening anyway...so we will all get home around the same time. This is terrific! Baby boy is crawling every where and pulling up on the furniture. The girls are super excited about this. He says Hi, Dada, ByeBye... I am working really hard on Mama. : ) The girls are doing well in school and just joined Girl Scouts! Which I am super excited about! I am working at both churches and trugging along as best as I can. Life is good!
Today is "spring Party" day at the girls school. Which is pc for Easter Party day! I will post pictures soon!
Love and Blessings

DINNER PLANS: Breakfast for dinner, Eggs, Sausage, Buiscits, and baked French Toast.(a new recipe)
BEAUTY IN THE COMMON THINGS: freshly shampooed carpets
Today, I am relaxing. DD5 just came in and said "Mommy, I love you so much". She is good for my ego! DH is sitting here watching the biggest loser and it makes me thingk about going to the gym. Maybe next week. I need to get a game plan. I can't walk into the gym with no idea what I am doing. That would be to frustrating. Those two trainers are brutal! I think I need to go one there : ) maybe not. They don't have Dr. Pepper there. Can you imagine a world without Dr. Pepper. I would freaking die! I am taking some baby steps here. I have the house in control. Now the meals. Next the gym. Thats the plan!
Time to make some dinner : )

LISTEN IN: the news
VIEW OUT MY WINDOW: Dusk
DINNER PLANS: Beans and cornbread (tried a new recipe)
PLANS FOR THE NIGHT: Scrapbooking
So, today I worked at ladies bible class and got to love on some sweet babies. Then I got to give them back...and love on my own sweet baby. Sure do love that little guy. He is getting so big...so fast. Then we came home from the church and hung out at the house. I have really been working hard on meal planning...then actually eating those meals...because I actually cooked those planned meals. I seem to have a follow thru problem. Yesterday I made homemade pizza dough and sauce. That became homemade calzones. I also made banana bread from a new recipe. Yesterday's meal was a success. Today I made beans and cornbread. Not so sure I like these recipes. The girls have not come in from playing yet...so I don't have their opinion yet. I also shampooed the living room carpet. Man it looks better in here!
Baby is screaming. Till the next time!

Listen in: total blissful silence
View out the Window: Sunshine
Plans for the day: DH is sick, baby is sick, I am sick...so I guess I just need to have a girls night get together and clean my house. Logical right? Oh, and make baby food and cook for the freezer....
Beauty in the Common things: finding enough couch fabric to recover all the yuky pillows and having a Mammaw that taught me how to sew.
Dinner plans: Calzones
So, now DH is sick. Great. Men seem to fall to pieces when they are sick. Why is it that when we are sick...life continues to move forward? I dont' understand it. My babysiter went out of town today. DH was sick and couldn't spend the day taking care of baby boy? Not that I really expect an answer...and I don't mind. Its just one of those little things that puzzle me. So, I finally lowered the curtin rod inthe office and washed the sheers in there. Last night. I also found more of the lovely white fabric for my couch. Yes, white...just in case someone other than the two people I know actually read this. So, I sewed covers for the pillows and put pieces over the arms. I think the best solution would be a new couch. Not in the budget though. Let's see, I have decluttered 80% of the house. Flylady would be so pleased. I have given away 80% of the stock piled clothes from the kids. I took 5 loads of stuff to the church resale shop. I organized my kitchen. I organized my scrapbooking spot...my closet...the babys room...the laundry room...and a good portion of the office. I feel so free. I also don't sleep. But, who needs sleep. Oh, and major news to report. I have joined the gym...went to a "dance24" class and I have cut back on Dr. Pepper...2 a day. My medication helps wiht the psyco withdrawls I am sure I would be feeling other wise! Hehe. Baby boy is trying to crawl and is so freaking cute! He has three teeth and is still mostly bauld. So cute! My DD's are doing great in school and love that baby!
Enough for now!
