Short and Sweet

Today Michelle and I went over to Diana house to learn how to use her Klic-N-Kut. See Diana has one and so we needed to learn how to really use it. In exchange for lessons we helped her organize and clean up her craft room. It wasnt that bad and only took us like an hour or so to do it . She really taught us a lot about it and then we left at about 4. After that i made dinner and put the kids to bed.

Well thats all for now. Blog at you later.

A big move on the horizon

Yesterday was a really quiet day. Dale and I spent a little time together until the kids got home from school then we played with them.

Dale and I have been trying to figure out what to do about him not working so much over time but needing the money to get out of debt so we have been preying about a move to Pa. There is a job working at the prison out there that pays twice what he makes now without overtime and the cost of living is half what it is here. I was afraid to make the move considering the fact that we have a whole network of people out here that we can count on plus this is the longest we have ever lived anywhere and on top of it all I really love this area and really didn't want to move anywhere else, but after giving it to the lord and telling him that what he thinks is best for us is what we will do, Dale and I both got the same answer which was to go. Dale says it's not like we will be gone forever and that we can come back in like 5 years when we have saved enough money to buy a house and stay out of debt. I said fine but that I was still upset about having to leave this place. I know that the lord only takes us to where he thinks we need to be and maybe there is something or someone up there that is in need of us. I'm not sure but I do know that the last time I didn't do as the lord asked bad things happened. I don't want another repeat of that. So I will go and do as he has asked and see where it takes us. We are not sure as to when we are going to move but Dale is thinking sometime before the end of the year. That seems a little soon for me but it is out of my hands now.


Anyway, today I cleaned the house from top to bottom then I got a visit from Danielle and Shelby. They had been in Nashville because Shelby has therapy on Tuesdays. Anyway they got done early and didn't have anything else to do so they came over to visit. Danielle and I talked while Elyssa and Shelby played. Oh ya I had to keep Elyssa home today because she wasn't feeling well yesterday and she had a slight fever this morning. Meanwhile Dale used Danielle's truck to take out all the trash that has been building up since she moved away. Then I gave Danielle a pedicure and filled her nails for her. They stayed until about 3:30 then had to leave to go and pick up Danielle's other daughter Jessica from her after school program. Then I made dinner and we read our scriptures and we put the kids to bed. Now I am blogging and Dale is getting ready for work.

Well I guess that is all for today. Blog at you later.

Up all night

ok well today could have gone a little better. I was up all night last night sick. I went to the conference yesterday and was feeling fine. Then I came home and was still feeling fine until about 1:00 this morning. I woke up out of a dead sleep and lost it. I was up all night with a high fever and throwing up. I think I caught whatever it is that is going around right now. I feel a little better but not much. I didn't go to church just in case I was still contagious because I didn't want to give anyone what I had. I don't have a fever anymore and am starting to get my appetite back a little. So I pretty much just sat around all day trying to feel better. So here's hoping. Sorry today's entry is so short.

Well that's all for today. Blog at you later.

Womans conference

That was great. It's not very often that I get to get out of the house with no kids. But today was the woman's conference at the stake center and it was great. We got there a little later than I was suppose to but I guess that's what happens when you don't get started on time. Anyway I drove over to Ryan's house to carpool with her and we left there as soon as I got there then arrived at the stake center at a little after 2:00. I was suppose to be there before two to help set up, ooops. Anyway we got there and jumped right in helping all the ladies make their braclets. Then about an hour and a half later we started our classes. Ryan and I got lucky and got the same classes at the same time so our first class was on Raising children in a poluted world. It was a great class. Very informitive and put alot of my worries at ease. Anyway that lasted about 55 mins then we headed to our next class which was the many gifts of a woman given by Sister Taylor. It was also a very good class. She talked alot about the many gifts that woman have and that if we can just see them in ourselves then we will be a least a little bit happier. That class was also about 55 mins. Afterwards everyone headed into the gym to eat dinner. I sat at a table with 7 other woman from my ward. It was great we had a good time talking and I even learned a little something new about each of the wonderful woman that were at the table with me. The food was wonderful and when we were all finished eating it was time for the satalight conference. Unfortunatly Dale was home alone with the kids and D.J. was still sick so Ryan and I had to leave right after dinner.

On our way home Ryan needed to pick up a couple of lottery tickets for Tanner and we got into talking about what we would do if either one of us ever won alot of money playing the Lottery. It was a fun little game. I hope some day it will really happen. Anyway I am home now and ready to hit the bed. So I will so goodnight and.....

That's all for now. Blog at you later.

Catching up on a busy week

OK sorry it has been a very busy week. So I guess I should get you caught up on what has been going on in my little world.

Tuesday: Not much really happened today. I was home alone as you know Dale works overtime on Tuesday's so I pretty much have the house to myself. Anyway nothing interesting happened.

Wednesday: OK today I got as usual and did my morning cleaning then got dressed and got ready to leave to take the footprint papers over to Sylvia Moore. Little did I know I wasn't going to get far. I went out to leave and had not one but two flat tires. Yahhh what a start to my day. So I had to spent 50.00 that I didn't really have to spend on two tires. So I went and fixed the tires and called Sylvia and told her that I can't make it all the way to Clarksville and she said she would come out and pick them up. So I went to Michelle's house to let her know and we just hung out there until Sylvia got there. Then she gave us the folders and we stuck the footprint papers to the folders. We were done in like 15 mins. It was so fast. After that I headed home to get ready for Activity Days at Church. We played the Articles of Faith game and the girls really liked it. Of course that probably had something to do with the fact that they got candy. Anyway it went well then we headed home for the night. All together it was a great day other than the whole flat tires thing. Oh ya I almost forgot. We swiched out cell phones from T-mobile to AT&T to save lots of money and the phones came in today. I couldn't wait to get home so that I could play with my new phone.

Thursday: Today was a good day. I got up and got ready for the day and had dale take me to Michelle's so that we could carpool over to the Church for our monthly Scrapbooking day. It was good we got to make some really cool Halloween cards and then I got to make a really cute snowman out of fabric. Then we went out to lunch at this really good Mexican restaurant right by the church. I will most likely be going back there again very soon. Then I headed home at about 5:00 to spend some time with dale and the kids. Dale is taking both of his days off this week and I am very happy about that. I don't get to spend much time with him so it is a real treat when I get two whole days with him. Anyway we did our normal nightly thing and then hit the bed early. It was nice other than the fact that he is not use to being in bed with anyone else and he kept kicking me out of bed. I hope he goes to day shift soon cause I'm tired of either sleeping alone or being kicked out of bed. Oh well one thing at a time I guess.

Well thats all for now. Blog at you tonight.

Stupid Fights

Now I know what they mean when they say that the devil will find any chance to get in there and try to take your family apart. Let me explain. Yesterday started out a great day. We all got up and I do mean all, including Dale, went to church and had great lessons. About half way through the last hour I got a really bad migraine. I stayed for the rest of church then we came home and ate lunch and I took some pain med's and went to bed. I woke up to Dale and D.J. yelling at each other. Dale was trying to help him with his study island assignments but D.J. was just getting an attitude and Dale was loosing his temper. So I jumped in and told them to stop and that I would help D.J. tomorrow with his work. D.J. was upset so I went in and talked to him and Dale came in a little later and said he was sorry for loosing his temper. They were fine after that. Then a little later I was watching t.v. and Dale started in on how he is really tired of all the over time he is having to work so that we can get caught up on our bill's and that he was going to turn everything off and just let us struggle for the next couple of weeks or so until everything is caught up. I said fine already just do it and quite complaining about everything. Either do it or just shut up about it. He wouldn't so I threw the remote at him to shut him up, it missed him and hit the door but he picked it up and tossed it back at me but it hit me knee. I was so pissed off that I threw it back at him and told him to go to hell. I know I know I shouldn't of said it but I was really tired of hearing him complain all the time but never do anything about it. He left it this time and went into the bathroom to finish getting ready for work so to avoid another fight I just shut off the lights and t.v. and went to bed. He left for work without even so much as a goodnight. That just pissed me off more. He did call when he got there to say goodnight. I went to bed and was still pissed off. I know you are not suppose to go to bed angry but I couldn't help it. Anyway he got home this morning and said he was sorry about last night. I said I was sorry also and we hugged and kissed. Now he is asleep and I'm blogging. I really hate when a good day gets ruined by stupid fighting.

Anyway I need to go because the plumber is here to fix my sewer line. I really hope he fixes it good this time. I would hate to have to call him again to come and fix it.

Well that's all for now. Blog at you later.

A day with Honor

Ok so Honor got here right around 7:45 this morning and was more awake than I was expecting her to be. Elyssa got up with me this morning to keep Honor company while I made breakfast and got myself started for the day. Everything went fine and Honor wasn't to hyper today. She did pase a little but not to much. Unfortunately it was suppose to rain today so the kids had to be cooped up in the house for most of the day. But by the afternoon it was looking pretty nice outside so I went out with the kids and let them run off some of their energy. Well Honor found this really old really big badminton ball and some old tennis rackets in the yard that I forgot were out there and decided that she wanted to play golf with them. Ofcouse she got a kick out of it and so did my kids so they played that for awhile then they decided that that was not enough and wanted to climb the tree in the front yard. Now while I don't usually allow my children to climb the tree because they can get hurt Honor was up it before I could tell her no. So I figured why not and allowed them all to play in the tree. Now you have to understand that the tree is not very big so they had to take turns in the tree. It wasn't that bad but man can Honor climb (pictures to come tomorrow). Who so we had her from 7:45 this morning until 6 tonight. Let me tell you I think I got my work out with that one today. She really is a handful but I loved having her here. I hope that she can come and play again. I know Elyssa liked having a friend here to play with but maybe not as long next time. Honor climbing up into the tree.
