Thanksgiving time w/ the fam

Today we are heading to KS to spend the holiday with our family!!  I couldn't be any more excited.  We have been super busy lately.  I got all my fall decor down and am so excited to decorate for Christmas.  This is probably going to sound horrible but I am sure I am not the only one.  I am kind of anal about the Christmas tree, i love decorating it with the kids but always...

Waiting...

I hate waiting.  I am probably the most impatient person you will ever meet.  When i want something done i want it done right now.  If i have to depend on someone else to do it and it isn't being done within the time frame i want, i do it myself. Since I had Chasley when i was 17 i decided that i should work instead of going to school after i graduated high school.  I wish i...

Sunday bliss...

There is just something about Sundays that just make me feel good.  We start out the day by going to church.  I would be lying if i said i was always chipper and ready to go to church.  I am usually the most tired on Sunday mornings.  And it is the one day that i have to wake up the kids.  I don't get it.  I think the devil is trying to get me down.  But once i get...

Snakes:1 Me:0

i woke up this morning with a plan of attack.  I had two things on the agenda.   1) clean house 2) clean out flower bed.  Got the first one done no problem.  The second not so much.  We had an issue with snakes last fall but after we noticed them it cooled down enough that we didn't see them the rest of the winter.  They made an appearance today.  I was on a roll...

Ongoing battle

I have been in this ongoing battle with my living room since we moved here.  I had red curtains at our old house and thought i would reuse those at this house.  I picked a honey yellow color and really liked the color... until now.  The room just wasn't doing it for me so i tried  to dress up the curtains by adding some stripes.  I am just not feelin it. Today i was looking...

Ahhhhh... Monday

I really do love Mondays.  They are kind of refreshing to me.  Especially now that it is getting warm outside.  I work from home so i am busy on Monday's but i get some time to myself when Cici is sleeping.
