Christmas

Tue, 25 Dec 2007 16:21:58 EST

What a nice day we are having. My brother is here and it's just us celebrating and enjoying eachother in a relaxing day. The kids are all enjoying their toys and playing together. We have made a birthday cake for Jesus and will be baking sugar cookies soon. Lunch turned out good and I've got lots of leftovers for the coming week:)

Christmas Eve!

Mon, 24 Dec 2007 15:08:33 EST

What a wonderful time of year! God loves me so much that He sent His One and Only Son to save me! Blessed by the name of my Lord Jesus Christ!

Christmas

Fri, 30 Nov 2007 13:58:29 EST

Well for the first year in quite awhile I'm sending out the full Christmas card. Card, pic, and letter!

Monday blahs

Mon, 30 Jul 2007 12:09:56 EST

It's raining and cloudy and muggy today. The kids are out back "cleaning" out the sandbox that is full of water which means they will need to be cleaned when they come in.
Yesterdays shower went off without a hitch and was very nice.

He's on the move

Tue, 24 Jul 2007 14:03:53 EST

William is almost crawling now. He is on his hands and knees most of the time just hasn't quite gotten the hang of it. His 4th tooth is just poking through and I think we are almost rid of his cold.

Spring cleaning!!!

Tue, 24 Jul 2007 14:01:51 EST

Well, it took all spring and most of the summer but I'm finally starting to declutter and organize. I got through 5 kitchen cupboards yesterday and have sorted through a table full of clothes and put them in the right boxes as well as gone through the masses of baby boy clothes and have a huge amount to donate. At least I know what I need for the coming winter.

Procrastinating

Fri, 20 Jul 2007 15:18:01 EST

I'm supposed to be doing paperwork and budget and bills but here I sit wasting away time.

Bridal shower

Mon, 11 Jun 2007 19:19:59 EST

Got started with H on the invitations for K's bridal shower that we are throwing her.

Worked out tonight

Sun, 10 Jun 2007 00:12:08 EST

Still sore from last night but I pushed myself harder than I have in the past on the treadmill tonight. My cut on my ankle hurts but not bad enough to use it as an excuse.

Fence

Sun, 10 Jun 2007 00:11:10 EST

DH has 3/4 of the fence put up around the back yard!

Bad Girl

Thu, 24 May 2007 11:29:57 EST

Wimped out on my workout last night and stayed home. I've been soooo tired. Feeling a tad bit better today but not much since I woke up a lot last night due to the storms.

Rain, rain, go away.

Thu, 24 May 2007 11:27:21 EST

We had about 5 inches of rain overnight so everything is sopping wet outside and the backyard is flooded. We got a little bit of water in the basement but not too bad.

Tired and Grumpy

Tue, 22 May 2007 15:20:07 EST

Yep, that pretty much says it all.

More space

Sun, 20 May 2007 22:07:40 EST

Got a bookshelf yesterday so I finally can bring up the books from the basement and spread out with my homeschool stuff!!!

BFL Challenge #2

Sun, 20 May 2007 22:05:47 EST

Here we go on challenge #2. I'll weigh, measure and photograph myself tomorrow. DH has issued a challenge as well for the next 12 weeks...to establish good habits and disciplines in our lives and the kids in keeping things picked up around here.

Fri, 18 May 2007 17:47:49 EST

school

Thu, 17 May 2007 14:33:28 EST

Working on finding everything for school next year. Between ebay and HSLDA's website and Rainbow resource I'm hoping to keep it around $150.

Can't get sleep

Thu, 17 May 2007 14:32:00 EST

Very tired for quite awhile now and last night didn't help. Between William and Wesley I was up every hour:(
Hopefully I'll get a nap in a bit here, otherwise I'll try once DH gets home.

Mystery solved

Sat, 12 May 2007 17:05:04 EST

So I couldn't figure out why none of the clothes that fit me before William were still too small now if I'd already hit pre-pregnancy weight! I finally got my medical records out and realized that I haven't gotten to pre-pregnancy weight yet.
46
I've still got another 7 lbs to go.
234
Pre-preg William was 160lbs.
Pre-preg Wesley was 162lbs.
Pre-preg Emily was 153lbs and
Pre-preg Twins was 148lbs.
Right now I'm right at 167lbs and m...

Still didn't get sleep last night. Tom and Wes were in our bed:( Wesley has been getting up every night for awhile at about 3a.m. Tonight he is getting broken of that.

Monday

Mon, 23 Apr 2007 10:32:44 EST

Don't want to do anything but sleep today:) Rough night, couldn't go to sleep then up with 3 different kids. Need to get to the P.O. today so might take everybody for a walk if it's not too windy.

nice day

Mon, 16 Apr 2007 10:52:29 EST

Sun is out, kids are outside and I have a long list of things that I want to get done. I have to keep moving or I'll fall asleep:)

Decluttering bug

Sun, 15 Apr 2007 22:55:51 EST

It's finally hit me and i'm ready to start tossing and junking and giving away. Tonight I took every stitch of clothing out of the girls room and left them only an outfit for tomorrow. I'm going to sort through and have only 1 outfit per day, and 3 pairs of pj's. They have way too many clothes and it's my fault so now it's time to pare things down. I'm also mentally sorting through toys and have a good idea of what needs to go.

Went and ran on the treadmill last night and made good progress. Did nothing on Monday and nothing tonight:( I'm very tired still from the weekend and just not feeling up to par. Fighting myself mentally this week with feeling like I haven't made any progress etc. STill going to push through just need to get more sleep.

Had a good time last night at bunko but didn't win any prizes.
Next time it's at my house so good motivation to do some major decluttering and maybe some painting:)

Monday blues

Mon, 2 Apr 2007 09:29:52 EST

Stayed up too late last night and then Will did not sleep good:( Of course now that everyone else is up he is sleeping just fine. I'm very tired but the day promises to be a nice one and the kids are already outside.
