Nothing Stays the Same but Change...

I am sitting by a fire in the fire place, Mark is out in the man cave and the kids are upstairs playing nice. Have the mother planets aligned?

So much goes on day to day that I want to take the time to do a random post...

Nathan uses a made up word "butcept", as in I want ice cream butcept I already had some today. He has some how turned but and except into one word. He also uses it daily.

Madison has made all A's all year. She is a good kid and her teacher told me he would love to have all 21 of his students just like her. That is awesome! She is much harder on herself than I am. She also wants to be in the Olympics so she can be on TV. Not to win, just be on TV.

Alexandra is going to take a drawing class in the spring. K-4th grade class. The Pre-k teacher is recommending her for the older class. Yeah Alex!

Mark and I have just celebrated 12 year anniversary. I tried to get him to take me to Hawaii this year. I understand why he said, "not this year" (old house +new to us = lots of projects). Instead we got to stay home in 20 degree snow day weather. HUMF.... I tried! Can't blame a girl for trying. So my crazy anniversary thought was in 12 more years on our 24th anniversary (which I do plan on having) and Nathan will be almost 16! That is when I decided long term goals are good, but let us just take it one day at a time.

Mark is another year older, 36? How is it I am still 21?

Read a great quote today, "nothing stays the same but change."

April 5th will be our one year anniversary here in Alabama!

Star Wars has become a way of life around here.

Realized today I am out numbered. That took almost four years. I mean I always knew I was out numbered, today I realized I AM OUT NUMBERED.

I have a love/hate with the Wii. I love it, Nathan loves it more which makes me HATE IT! He has officially warn me down and I might have to pack it away. I limit his time, but it doesn't keep him from asking to play. He is strong willed and has ideas that are not remotely in line with mine. For example I told him he could play after dinner, so he wanted to call lunch... dinner. He is too smart for his own good and driving me crazy with all his wise ways to try and play the Wii when he wants to play.

So much goes on in life just want to share a bit. Next project is being delivered in a couple weeks. Working on taking down chain link fence. Will post pictures soon.

Happy New Year!

Happy Anniversary to my parents that got married today many moons ago. Congratulations for over 30 years of marital bliss.   Updates... I know why you should have a realtor.  Too many emotions.  The people that looked out our house put it in their top 3 choices and today they go back to their other 2 choices.  We will see what happens.  I feel a low offer coming our way, if we get an offer at all.     Do you know how much work it is to keep a house walk thru ready?  I feel like we worked all day to get out for an hour and then we came home and trashed the place.     Tomungus, Nathan's new word.  What it means I'm not quite sure, but he thinks it is funny.  He says humongous and ginormous a lot so I think he just said one wrong.   The veggie garden is growing wild. We have tiny tomatoes, squash, zucchini and broccoli. I kinda hope we can get some veggie before we move.  If not I will have to start another garden the kids love it and it keeps them busy watering it.  Playing in  w...

Queen of Google

Day in and day out I am frustrated with myself because I didn't take the time to write.  I want to write but I find myself not writing anything but thinking about writing.  I love to read and make time for reading but I find myself often just thinking about writing and not actually writing.   I am not sure what will ever motivate me to write daily.  Being a mom to three tween/teens in a huge job.  Especially when one is being homeschooled this year.  I find myself saying things like, when the dishes are done or when the laundry is done then I will write.  Just let me check all this school work first and then I will write.  When it is quiet, I will write.  This could be why I never write.  It is never quiet in this house.   Today I have had enough.  I am not about new year resolutions but I am going to make the commitment today to write daily.  I ideally would like to write not just for the blog but novel writing. ...

Insecurity

I am reading a book by Beth Moore called So Long Insecurity you've been a bad friend to us. I was asked by a friend to do a book club kinda thing. I agreed just to feel included so many miles away (insecurity?). I am lonely of being in Alabama without my girlfriends and agreed to read this book. I have to say I didn't think I had issues with insecurity at the time I bought this book. I am a pretty secure woman, but as I continue to read I see where we all have some issues with insecurity. For anyone that knows Beth Moore you know she is a no nonsense Christian and is very challenging. I appreciate her openness and honesty. I am really enjoying the book. Mostly because I have two girls that will be women one day. Don't we all want our daughters to be secure? Of course we do. I think Beth Moore has hit the nail on the head! My challenge to all my girl friends is to not worry about what other think and buy a book that is about insecurity and read it! If not for yo...
