Can't keep up!!!!!

What is with me?? I cannot seem to keep up on our blog. For wanting to keep a family journal I am not doing so well. Mostly I get on here to check other blogs and remember that I need to blog, but then I don't because I want to post pictures too. So I close out thinking I will do it another time. So I am just going to ramble on and hope you can all get the picture in your head.

We took a quick trip to Dad and Jean's on Presidents weekend. We were really lucky to meet 2 of my 3 new sisters (Jean's Daughters). Shirley and Cathy. We had a blast. The girls really loved them as well. Jean's Daughters all live in WA.

Upon returning home (here is where you need to picture in your mind), Ward went and picked up his sleep apnea machine. LOL he looks so funny wearing it. It is similar to orthodonic head gear however there is a device that fits over his nose with a huge accordian style tube that runs to the machine. He looks very much like an ethiopian elephant. He hardly snores at all anymore. The only reason he does at the moment is because we keep forgetting to get distilled water for the humidifer that hooks to the machine. Thus making his sinus' dry. Does it really surpise anyone that we are forgetful?

I have taken a little more time to spend with the girls. Thus after our MAJOR cleaning check, I have let the clutter build a little. Deep down this really bothers me a lot. But I have to put it on the back burner because it is driving me nuts.

Sara's baptism is coming up at the end of March. I had a dream the other night that the day came, and I had totally forgotten about it. I have one talk lined up, and the musical number. I have her dress but have to find a shrug or sweater to go over it. It is sleeveless. I also have to find her some "beautiful" shoes. This is my all girl daughter. All frills and lace.

Well, one last note. We have a new Front Office Manager at work. Being that this is public, I can't say much. However, I do like the new one and am interested to see what changes may take place. I will MISS our former Front Office Manager very much as will all of the Receptionist. It has been an emotional journey this week at work. I discribed it as going through all the stages of a death. All the girls agreed. Part of us is missing. TTFN!

Monday no Manic Monday

Today started out fairly well. The girls got off to school and I off to work. Work was consistant but not crazy. We were treated to a Drug Rep lunch from Magleby's. It was so yummy. Once I got home, I eventually took the girls to get Valentine cards and then we headed home to have Breakfast for dinner. My fav! A few days ago I bought one of the larger cartons of eggs. I think it was 1 1/2 dozen. To my surprise the girls ate the whole carton. I kept making more and more. Hailey's favorite is fried egg minus the yoke. Sara loves scrambled with ketchup, and Morgan likes sunny side up. We also had french toast and not so done sausage. We will microwave that later.

The rest of the evening found me fanagling our finances. At 10 pm. The girls were still running amuck. I finally got to the point where I could kiss them goodnight. At this point however, I was fumming because my DH let the girls run him over. I was not so happy about that either. Once I rallied them to bed and pronounced them all grounded , I stomped down to facebook.

Morgan and I have been learning that no one or nothing can MAKE you mad. You choose to let it make you mad. Therefore after about 1/2 hr of chanting I am not mad to myself, I took off up stairs to apologize to my DH all the while explaining he cannot let them run him over. He agreed and accepted my apology. So now after using my wonderful essential oils on my ever so tence neck and back and begging and I mean begging the massage therapist to work on my neck and back I feel sooo sooo much better. So that is it for today. TTFN!

Another Week has gone by.

Well, as you know from my last post, I cannot remember very much from long ago. I know 6 days ago was not long. But as I have mentioned before, I have a world that spins so fast I almost get motion sickness.

Some of the things we have done this week are:

Our tri monthly inspection came and went. We passed with flying colors. Yippee! That is probably one of the biggest stresses for me. Now lets talk about my house. It isn't grungy (although) I have seen it that way when one said "maid" is out sick or out of town. However, I am a very simple woman. I would much rahter spend time with my kids, and my husband, and even friends making memories rather than running behind the kids picking up after them. So with that being said our house is clean and free of soap scum (usually) but you will most likely on a daily basis find clutter and what my brother likes to call kiddie liter. No that is not Cat Liter, just junk from the kids. This is one huge draw back to renting. That and we can't seem to stay in one place so we can get back on our feet.

I was off of work on Tuesday, to be avalible for the cleaning inspector. I had a blast. The house was spotless, the laundry was done. So I was able to run a few errands, take a nice nap, and we headed to our friends house for dinner. It was so wonderful to be a stay at home Mom for one day.

Wednesday: Morgan and I had our weekly visit to our friend Darrin. Morgan (and I) have been seeing a family and child phychologist. She I am sure will totally kill me for airing this. However, I feel that this is a wonderful thing. To be able to learn how to become a positive thinker, and learn these great tools that help you love yourself and realize you are in control of you and not anybody else. I love this oppertunity. It has done wonders for my Morgan and we have fun with it. I am a huge believer.

Friday: We had dinner with another set of friends. We had a great time. Hailey was lucky to have her friend sleep over.

Sat. We had a nice visit from Ward family for his Birthday. We also spent time with our close friends for dinner and the rest is history for now. TTFN
