So much is going on with everyone, we all have a lot on our plates and bad News in the news and I just thought we needed a place where we could write a sentance or two of something positive going on in our lives. In other words NO COMPLAINING!!
This morning my kids ----- ALL 4 OF THEM were able to play outside with out fighting or screaming or running in side to complain about someone or something. And I was able to use that time to clear off the computer table, and put a big stack of cookbooks away that was next to my bed.
For the first time in over a month I'm making dinner. Actually, it's already started in the crockpot. DH has been doing the cooking since before I had Micah (which is also a positive, as I'm super grateful). So I feel like a much better wife today.
It's almost the weekend....so dh will be here =). T and I had fun playing in the snow....and while I was mad he threw a snowball @ my camera right when I was taking a picture....it turned out to be the best one I took out there....looks pretty cool with the snow coming at me lol....Hmmm, what else....T is excelling in Math (That's a positive....he got my Math skills and NOT his dad's, lol)....HOP is working wonders (Thanks Tiffany)...and tonight is Thursday which means I have trash to watch on tv! YEA!
1. We should find out soon if we have sold the business. If we have it sold to these people then all is well. 2. My daughter has the most beautiful lyrical solo dance on her dance team and she has a very high chance of taking first and going to nationals. I love you Aball! Your welcome on the HOP!
We had a great visit with family for a week and half. The kids got to enjoy some snow (though just a little) and our first week back to work has been sucessful so far. YAY!!
Awesome thread idea! #1... I am so thankful for these forums. I've only been here for a little while, but have learned a lot already! #2... My husband is a great father who has taken each of our daughters out to dinner this week individually. He just left with our youngest. She loves tea parties and he's taking her to the English Tea Room. It's a total surprise for her, so I can't wait to hear how it went.
We were very blessed by a visit from my parents a few weeks ago. We live 2500 miles apart, so visits are cherished. Not only was it so wonderful to have them here, but as a surprise they bought us 4 new tires for our car and a brand new washer, which was so badly needed. Hooray for mom and dad!
I just found two online jobs writing ads. Not much money but making more than before! lol. My oldest daughter likes doing school work! My youngest daughter is a trooper at night during teething....if she does wake up she goes right back to sleep.
What a great thread. Also, you ladies have encouraged me very much with your great ideas and experiences. My son has a friend over and I am able to spend some time on my hobby of making jewelry. Also, the cold snap is broken. It is in the 40s. This warm weather brings me great joy. In another month or so the spring flowers will start poking above ground.
It warmed up to 52 degrees today....yippee!! My hubby is NOT deployed this January and not on orders to deploy (like last year at this time). My kids are having a great school week and my middle has had a terrific week at her occupational therapy appointments.
My son voluntarily did 2 days worth of math ... in the CAR ... today. He hates math, and he's never done school work in the car before!! LOL!!
Well, life is pretty stressful right now - but I always remind myself that it could be worse. And it could - A LOT worse! I can always come up with positive things! DS eased back into homeschool well this week. He's having fun doing the interactive unit studies I made and he's even helping me find mistakes and stuff. We are all healthy. The bills are paid. I have work to do. It is almost spring (feels like spring this week!) and my ducks and geese will be hatching eggs soon. The snow is melting. My DD started vocational school and she loves it. All in all - even though things are stressful - life is still good.
I got sleep this afternoon after going basically 30 hrs without. Baby let me sleep!!! He is soooo cute though. He "talks." Ok..you know what talking means at this age...sounds more like "ahhh ahhhh ahhhhhh."
And I love my children and I have all of you and I have a roof over my head and food I can eat and so on.
Oh... I love baby talk. It's so fascinating when you can tell they are trying to tell you something really important... too cute!
I had a great day with the girls. Hubby had a great and nice ministers meeting which means we a stay put for now! Lets see the best thing : God is in control over everything in my life! (reminded myself of this today) Life is great and God is good!
I signed up for yoga classes last week ( 2x a week) and I love it!! Its the first time in 15 years that I have taken time just for ME!!
I cleaned out our dininng room of all the extra curriculum and junk. So nice to see it clean again. I actually feel like I got enough sleep last night (haven't felt that way in months.) I don't need a nap today! Kids are playing well with each other. AND baby is taking a nap.
