Saturday(another day to work)

Is saturday really sucha special day. If anything I would say that it is a hectic day. I mean think about it. You kinda sleep in but not really because there are so many things to do that you didn't have time to do during the week. I find that on saturdays I have to catch up and get ready for sunday all at the same time. Luckily I am soooo good at handling the stress(HAHAHA). But at least the whole family is home to help and a calm breakfast with the kids is better than when you are trying to get them to hurry up so they won't be late to school.

I made it to Friday!!!

Yay! It is friday. The older girls are at school. I have to straigthen the Living room go for a walk and then the little ones and I are going to the park to play. I think that this week has been one of my busiest since chirstmas. I am so glad that they are not all like this week. January is almost over and I heard some women talking yesterday about how fast this year is going by. The thing is as we get older each year is a smaller part that makes up our lives. when we are five 1 year is 1/5th of our lives. But when we are thirty 1 year is 1/30th of our lives maybe that is why it seems to go so fast as we get older also perhaps because we are not in such a hurry for time to go by as we are when we are little. Well it is time for me to get moving so that we can go to the park & play.

Changing times

Okay so I conquered a mountain of laundry yesterday and the goodwill truck is driving by today so I have three big bags to go out. Getting rid of this stuff feels so freeing. I have definitely decided to simplify. Sometimes the stuff bogs us down I found a great website that my friend Heather told me about that is helping me declutter my life. The website is Flylady.net. They have lots of great advice.
My sister Paula & her husband Chip came over for dinner last night just to have fun. It was enjoyable for most I think.
I am enjoying getting to know friends though facebook. It makes you feel like a part of their lives.
So for thursday I hope it is better than yesterday.

Busy, Busy

Well my friend Misty was unable to come over for dinner but we hope she gets better soon. Allison got hurt at school so we are dealing with that and I am still looking for the missing library book. So life is really busy but I don't know what I would do if it slowed down. This weeks question is: What is the hardest area to keep clean? I look forward to the responses.

What is calm?

Monday morning came up so fast and always with its challenges. Allison had to go to the doctor and has two ear infections. Alicia slept in our bed and so Jim & I slept horribly. Poor baby has a cold though so we are patient with her. Matt happily went to school and teresa was dissappointed in the lunch offered at school. So my question is what is calm? Does it ever happen? We will wait and see what the rest of the week holds for us.

Weekend???

well today I seem to be in a funk. Maybe it is the gray skies but perhaps other factors have contributed to my gloom. Oh well I have to keep going. If you have a good idea to drop the funk let me know cause right now I don't have any. Perhaps I should have just stayed in bed today. Oh well life goes on and I have to go to work early. No late night saturday flights so we get out early. Maybe tomorrow will be better.

Happy Friday!!!

I got an awesome gift this morning. I got to chat on facebook with my wonderful friend Heather. I miss her so much and it was so fun to get to talk to her. :) She recently moved to Italy with her husband and I know they are having wonderful new adentures. I have also been fortunate to be able to have great chats with other friends through facebook. On to us though. The kids are off school today so it is a busy rainy day. Lots to do and errands to run. Back to work tonight but that's okay. Havea great weekend to my friends and family that read my post.

What is a Clean House???

So I got up early today because Alicia is SICK. :( Oh well lots of fluids and antibiotics. I also have to do the thing I hate and clean the house. I have ignored it for a few days and it definitely shows. I want to know how some people are able to keep their house clean and I can't. Maybe I need to get rid of the kids(?). I tried decluttering but someow the clutter finds its way back. I am open to realistic and crazy suggestions. Who knows what will work. I decided that I cannot start reading another book till the house looks better so I have incentive.

Busy Day

So everyone Happy Wednesday!!!! No cleaning today just lots of other things to do. Fixing computers and of course exploring Facebook. It has been so much fun to connect with old friends. Alicia was up in the night so of course I am running on limited sleep. Eceryone else is at school and hopefully doing well. Teresa had her math benchmarks today so she studied extra hard last night. One of allison's Best friends is turning twelve today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY EMILY!!!!! No work tonight Yeah!!! I am not sure where the rain came from but it is so refreshing. Have a great day.

Awesome Book

Well back to the routine as usual. I finished a awesome book last night that everyone should know about. It is called Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah. It is about two best friends and the path that their friendship takes. Sold in paperback at Walmart or check it out from the local library. Although for me it made me more retrospective. It made me really think about my friends and the status of those relationships. It made me want to try harder to be a better friend and the work on past friendships that have become strained. So wish me luck that I can improve myself and love and accept me friends for exactly who they are. To all of you I really care and just want the best for each of you.

Crazy Monday

Holidays from school are always an adventure. It still is monday for me so there is still lots to do. I reconnected with my best friend from elementary school and she is coming over on Wednesday with her husband. We are all excited to meet him. Other that than not much exciting going on. Work as usual and missing good frineds that have recently moved to farway countries. More to come on another day.

The beginning

Well here goes. I have now idea who will read this but people tell me to make a blog and so I did. Jim & I have been married for almost 12 years now and have been bessed with 4 good(?) children. Their names are Allison, Teresa,Matthew, & Alicia. So for now this is the beginning and hopefully more will come.
