Who Would Have Thought...

Who would have thought that life would be more crazy here at home than when I was in Oklahoma helping get a wedding together and then caring for four boys 5 and under?

Not me that's for sure!

But instead of coming home and going back to my normal everyday schedule with the boys I have been running around like a chicken with it's head cut off!

First trying to get life caught up from being gone for two weeks. Getting new phones that actually work, trying to get things unpacked (there is still plenty in the car), making a plan for the busy week ahead and then contacting everyone that I had said "let's talk when I get back." I think I will never use that phrase again!

Then Monday was helpful wife day which I love doing but I was really planning on spending the day getting unpacked and caught up on housework. When the hubby's home and we're gone the house needs some attention. But instead I loaded up the kids and drove around town for 3 hours taking pictures because the hubs just couldn't find time to get it done. Helpful wife days occur more now that we own our own business. I'm really looking forward to the day we can hire someone.

On top of all that I spent the day today at my nephews school getting ready for summer with Aunt Kari! Yes doesn't it sounds like fun? One of the teachers said "Oh you're the mean aunt he's spending the summer with" when she introduced herself. She was teasing but now I know what ny nephew thinks of me. One day he'll be thankful and that's all that matters to me.

And the rest of the week just keeps going! I have to be up and out of the house tomorrow by 6am so I can be on time to a volunteer event, Thursday is library day and we have to go because we have books due back, and then Friday is our homeschool group meeting where we are to share our homeschool goals that I have yet to even think about. Oh, did I mention I'm the leader on Friday?

And yes in case you're wondering my weekend is packed full as well. And so is next week. And come to think of it my summer is booked solid with activities for Monkey and my nephew not including the school work we have to get accomplished.

We will need prayers in our family for strength and quality rest. Oh and wisdom for me.

Day 2 of 31 Day to Clean

So I have told you the other day that I'm going to start 31 Days to Clean by Sara Mae. (For that post go to 31 days to clean post). So I'm finally on day 2 after several days in between. This will be the way it is for me because not everyday I will be able to tackle a big task, like day number 2, but I did it today and that is what counts. So what was day 2...clean the refrigerator and freezer (at least the Martha part) so that's what I did. I cleaned the refrigerator not that long ago but I figured I would just do it again and I'm glad. Just after about 2 months (maybe 3) it really needed cleaned again and I'm really happy that it looks really nice and I can find all the stuff that is in there again. I think that I'm going to put this on my To Do list every other month. I think that would be really helpful and that way it stays clean. I'm just going to put it in my day planner and when I have some free time on day I will do it that month. Sounds like a pl...

WEDDING! Part 2: The Day Of

**Warning more Picture overload!** I couldn't help it! WEDDING DAY! (August 6, 2005) On our wedding day I was so excited! I got ready at my parents house and J. and the guys got ready at our house. It was so much fun to get our hair done at a long time friends hair salon . After that we headed over to my parents house to start getting ready. Everyone was busy getting me ready and many people were up my dress trying to get my 'fluff' to stay up so I didn't have to hold my dress us when walking. My dad was kicked out of the house until I was done. I wanted him to get the whole sh-a-bang when he walked in. This was interesting. I had to climb into the truck but was not allowed to step on the tailgate and I couldn't see my feet. It was so funny! It looks like we were going fast but we really weren't but that's how we got to the park. THE CEREMONY! After all that hard work to make it so I ...

Monkey's Surgery

So I finally downloaded pictures and I thought I'd share the cute pictures of my little boy after his surgery he had in April. No one should have surgery at 3 years old but poor little Monkey had to have his gallbladder removed due to his blood disorder called spherecytosis. I had to stay in bed with him afterwards. He didn't want me to go anywhere. However, being pregnant made it so I had to use the bathroom quite often so luckily he was OK with Aunt Tiffany or Grandma holding his hand while I went. He hadn't been aloud to eat for almost 48 hours. He was starving! He ate almost the whole plate of pancakes and the nurses were shocked he could eat so much. They kept encouraging us to get him up and out of the room later in the afternoon after the surgery. So we headed out in the wagon first. He wasn't to happy about being moved and we made him walk a little bit in the room but he was glad to be out. Granny and Great Po...
