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.

Break is over!

Wow! It took me some time to log onto Blogger. I always feel like it is a test when I have to remember a password on an account. I couldn't remember the email or password. That is when you know it has been awhile.  I started a new blog on wordpress. I have been writing but it is all about crafty DIY project and organization. Someone asked me a few weeks ago if I ever use Box of Chocolates and I was sad to say, "No".  So here I am with a renewed outlook on Box of Chocolates.  You never know what you are going to get, but here I am again so at least it will be something. For a year I have been wanting to do National Novel Writing Month. It is the month of November.  The process has already started for me. I have been reading books on writing and doing research on some of the ideas I have for my Novela. Novel sounds so much better to me in Spanish. I think I have written about things in different languages sometimes just sound better. I think it was a post on my ...

NaNoWriMo & Peeps

peeps pēps/ noun  informal people (often used to refer to a person's friends or associates). "thanks for the feedback, peeps!" If you choose to do NaNoWriMo you have got to explain to the ones you love and cherish what you are doing in November. The more warnings the better. I told my husband a year before I started NaNoWriMo that I wanted to   do a month writing challange and explained the details. I didn’t talk about it all year but once October came around I started to talk more about NaNoWriMo. I talked about it so much my second year that my kids wanted to do NaNoWriMo too.   It was fun to do some writing prep with my kids.   My oldest has already set a goal for this year.  If you have kids you should check out the  Young Writers Program .  They can set word goals. I like encouraging my kids to write with me. It might even help me justify writing on Saturday and Sunday when I have a kid or two a...

"Normal"

Psalms 62:8 Trust in him at all times, O people; pour out your hearts to him, for God is our refuge . This past year has been something else to say the least. From October to October, okay not quite a year but WOWSER! Didn't see that freight train coming. I have to reflect. I have been reading my blog entries going back to October of last year. Part of me can believe it has been a year since all this started and part of me feel like it was forever ago. Daily I have to turn my cares over to the Lord, carry my cross and trust with a faith that can move mountains. Recap~ October 2008 ~ The company Mark is contracting for is a pool company and is really feeling the effects of the economy and crisis and has to cut back. Mark was not the first to go but his time is up the first week of October. November 2008 ~ hint of a job in Raleigh NC. The person hiring has to wait until January to see if they get a contract or not. Very surprised at the lack of jobs in the Tampa area...
