I seem to post around Holiday's...hmmmmm

So...as in previous posts...another holiday has come and gone. Today is Easter. We love Easter around here. But, this year it was very low key. There are not many things exciting for me to tell the world. We did find out our little bundle of joy is a Boy. DH is understandably excited about this! Already planning a football themed nursery. I am dealing with all this testosterone in my own special way : )
Ignoring it and hoping he changes his mind. In other news, we painted the bedroom our DD's share. I will have to post a picture or two when it is finished. Painted yes...finished no. My plan before DS comes is to have this house painted, carpet cleaned, and home decluttered. Well, we will see.

Ok Gigi...I posted ;)

Nothing better to do than update my blog...

So, let's see...Christmas and New years have come and gone. The girls had a wonderful time and got every single thing their little heart desired...well except for a Wii, PS2, and Heelies. But, Santa can't get them everything they want on a daily basis. Life is busy and we do the best we can. The newest news is that I am unexpectedly Pregnant with baby number 3. We are no longer in shocked mode...but, are starting to get things figured out. The most frustrating part is that I am miserable at night. This is not to DH's benefit..if you know what I mean. During the day I am very tired by mid afternoon. This has resulted in many naps and a Filthy house! I just can't seem to get it all together at one time. I almost have all the laundry done...and I am hoping that this week I can finally get all the Holiday decorations in the attic. The most frustrating element to this situation is that I just recently got rid of the bulk of my baby stuff. So, now we have to get most of it all over again...ahhgg! I am hopeing for a boy. DH would love a boy and I plan to NOT have anymore kiddos. Maybe in the future I would like to adopt. But, I know that I am content with this last baby coming as my last baby. And that is ok. Im laying here on the bed with my laptop and I can feel baby moving around in my tummy. I forgot how weird that feels. Some women love that feeling. It kinda freaks me out a little bit : ) But, I know this baby is a Blessing from God and I am excited about it~!

That and the fact I am about to got to bed....maybe I will actually update before the baby comes : )

Hmmm.

So, another Holiday has come and gone. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite Holidays. You don't have to buy everyone anything...co-ordinate with Santa or The Easter Bunny...perplex for hours for a costume that will be worn maybe one time and then lost in the shuffle. You, instead, simply cook and spend time with those who you love. I really do love Thanksgiving!

A beautiful Rainbow

AGGHHH

Plans for the day: Took Dd6 to the Dr. Scrapbooking Later

Dinner plans: Leftover potato soup Yum

Listen in: Girls playing in their room

View outside: Windy day

Looks like DD6 has a "strep like" virus. Well, that diagnosis was no help! This only means that I get to miss work again...just my luck! Other than that...nothing much going on. Life is busy and I plan to relax for the next couple of days!

:)

Friday!!!

Plans for the Day: 1. Clean up the messy house. Its not nasty Messy...just messy! 2. Get things together for the Polar Bear Garage Sale. 3. Evaluate my budget 4. Line up I'll babysit for you if you babysit for me arrangements for class tomorrow

Listen In: Very quiet house. About to turn on the praise music channel on Sirius. Love that...it makes you feel good inside!

Dinner Plans: Beef Picante... at least get everything ready for the crock pot tomorrow. No kids tonight...not gonna cook!

View from the office window: Not one today...the blinds are closed. But from the desk...(and the backyard window)... I can see Banana Trees blowing in the breeze and a lovey sunny day.

My Mood Today: Feeling good. Like I could get a lot accomplished!

So, if I am able to work a full week...anytime soon, it will be a miricle. DD4 was running fever last night. Today, its low grade. End result...I get another day off. So, I am trying to get a lot accomplished today...so that tomorrow I can not worry about anything other than school and work. Yes...work, work, work...school, school, school, kids, kids, kids! BUSY!

DH and I went to a great Marriage workshop last weekend. I highly suggest anyone who is married and can make it to one of Gary Chapman's classes...YOU DO. It was great. DH, who was only there because he loves me and I made him go...enjoyed it! And, that night he cleaned my kitchen. HUH? I was so shocked! I thought my MIL had come over while I was sleeping and cleaned if for me. I asked DD6...who cleaned the kitchen and she said....Daddy! Such a sweet DH! My love language is Acts of Service...so this was exactly what makes me feel all loved and stuff! Of course, there were some things that we found out...for lack of a better word...sucked...but now we can work on them and Grow! So, over all...worth every penny and all day Saturday!

One area that I really need help on is my finances. I have talked to a couple of friends and they are going to help me be more responcible with our money. I am the Free Spirit that Dave Ramsey talks about and...I NEED HELP! So, starting today...I am going to do better!

I am also reading a book called "How to Make your Kids Mind without Losing Yours" Dr. Leman. So far I am really enjoying it. I think it is presenting some really great ideas all from a biblical perspective. I have been reading a lot of parenting books and books/articles about ADD. I really think my DD6 has ADD. I have not had her tested...but I really think I should!

So, that is some of our busy life in a nutshell!

Blessings for your day!

Wonder why I can't seem to keep this updated...

So , it seems like I only update this blog once in a blue moon. It isn't that I don't want to let the cyber world know what is going on in my life. Its just that my life keeps me so stinking busy! Between work, church, dance, and PTA...oh ya and my school....no time!

So, for some pictures... This is DD6 on her first day of 1st grade!


And here is DD4 and Cousin having sooo much fun at the beauty shop! I don't believe I have ever seen this child so still!


This is our latest family photo. On a little vacation detour to Luckenbach Texas! We thought it was great.... But, the girls really didn't get the point. LOL



So, yes...we have been very busy! But, my goal is to keep this better updated!
Blessings for your week!
