Blogging discipline
Posted: June 29, 2011 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment »It takes discipline to keep this thing up. Usually by the time I fee like it, I also feel like going to bed.
Today was nice. I had no car because the black bullet is in the shop and sweet hubby took Big blue to work. So me and all the kids walked to the sprinkler park to meet friends, we played and my friend took G and I with her home J napped and N played Wii. So I took a nice nap. It was hard to shake the nap off though. I felt very groggy for a while after. Then we went out to our little pool and N and J swam. We had breakfast for dinner. Another dear friend came over, she visited for a bit and then left.
I am currently waiting for hubby to show up. House is messy:( I want to sleep.
oh what a night

Wedding, reception, mass, and then I went to a girls night out, followed by chatting with a dear friend (A.T.) and we prayed together. That was nice. I got home late, I got in bed but our neighbors were having a party outside my window in their back yard, they were very loud. Once they started to quiet down J woke up screaming and continued to cry for hours. ugh. I am pooped, I want to have a loving conversation with my daughter and straiten up and be ok, I am so tired.
I don’t want to gloss over the fact that yesterday was great. The wedding was lovely, the reception was lots of fun, not just for me but for the kids, they had many little friends there and they danced their fannies off! Spending time with my friends last night talking about holy things and calling each other on in our Catholic faith was refreshing. I got to see Susanna, and she is always a holy spirit in a room… Also there was cold peppermint tea that was so yummy to me I am making some today.
My Lord really blessed me this weekend with not feeling so sick. This morning was a little icky, but I had my usual laughing cow cheese on whole wheat toast and it made me feel better with out fail.
The two older boys are playing Wii. I would rather they didn’t but it’s only on weekends and I could use a break form them asking me what they should do (to which I usually reply “if you are board I will put you to work”) Ugh I am a grouch. My poor kids. Lord pour your cool clean water on my roots so I can be ready for this day of loving my family. amen.

Poor husband was late last night and pregnancy hormones made a mountain out of a mole hill. I just felt so hurt that he would “choose” to stay a while after a meeting to watch a basketball game when he could come home and watch it with me. (It was 10 at night, not the best thinking time for anyone) I then thought on and on and created many situations in my head where he had some how failed and by the time he got home I was in tears. I prayed…i did self talk, I could not convince my self to calm down, instead i got more and more up set. In the light of day now it all seems pretty silly, but I sure felt like it was legitimate last night. The sadness lingers in my heart today. I feel sad. I feel so much better physically though! Hubby got me “Preggie Pops” and they do seem to help morning sickness.
I would very much like to go shopping today. I just need a few things. J is the only one at home today, he hates to put on clothes and leave the house…it’s so odd. It makes it easy to just stay at home though. As if I need encouragement to do that. Well J is asking for his shoes so maybe this is a good sign. He changed his mind and wants to eat ice cream. I guess it’s ok he has eaten pretty good today. I am going to have to get a bag of dum dum pops because every time I have a preggie pop he pretty much wont take no for an answer wanting one too. Well i guess i will rest while he watches Thomas the train.
Simplicity
Posted: June 2, 2011 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment »I am glad I am the type of gal who loves a back yard, a baby pool, drinkin’ from the hose, laying in the sun and splashin with my babies. That’s what our morning was filled with. Then (with the bribe of Braum’s ice-cream in mind) my littles rinsed the dishes, loaded the dishwasher, and cleaned the kitchen:) J wore big boy underpants and pooped in the potty today too! Next week will be hard on potty training because it is camp time and he will be in the care of teenagers for Monday and Wednesday. I don’t want to miss this window.
Well I look forward to that ice cream too. I’m going to wake up J in about an hour then we can go get our yummmm on!
Laziness and other vices
Posted: May 31, 2011 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: Housekeeping, Peace of mind, Virtue Leave a comment »Well once I got out I felt better. We spent the morning at the sprinkler park and had such a nice time. It was hot for me, and I still felt a little nauseated, but all in all once I get going I do feel better. Pregnancy can sometimes give me an excise for so many vices, mainly laziness and gluttony. Today I kept thinking “I long for neatness and strait lines” perfectly groomed yards. Clean baseboards that meet clean floor. Walls with out blemish. The smell of fresh linen. Do I long for the work it takes? Well no. So what separates those who will and those who won’t..don’t. A good day? A well trained childhood? A will of steel? So I offer it to the Lord again. Please make me who I am meant to be. Who I long to be. One act at a time. What else can ya do?
Nausea and hunger
Posted: May 29, 2011 Filed under: Uncategorized | Tags: children, friends, pregnancy Leave a comment »Yesterday was busy. Four extra kids, sprinkler park, snack after snack…I keep committing to things. Next week is a week down, but the week after that is Camp J and I have to volunteer and I am so Nauseated all day. We have a bbq with the K family, I know it will be fun, but still I spend my life with the goggles of blah on in the first trimester. No amount of sleep seems to be enough.
Anyway. I and N are playing Wii and they just love it. They only get to play on weekends. J is pushing himself around the house on his little bike. His favorite thing to say is “I wove ou” oh how sweet that chubby little man is. G, of her own accord, is cleaning her room. O_O wow!
I need to talk to my Lord and his Mother today. Feeling like this makes it real easy to make excuses for my self not to do the proper amount of work in my home or in my prayer.
A blog again
Posted: May 27, 2011 Filed under: Uncategorized Leave a comment »7 weeks pregnant with baby number 5 seems like a good time to start a new blog. It may spare my sweet husband from my endless talking and sometimes wining 
Today was full. I like full days, I like them better when I come home to a clean house, today was not one of those days. It was G and I’s last day of school. I went late hoping to avoid the very long awards ceremony. No such luck, it was still going on and I had to manage a 5 yr old and a 2 yr old for a bit in the halls of a school. But then we got free pizza, so no harm done. We then went to an indoor play area I had a cheep delicious iced coffee. The children filled the place with chaos (along with their friends) I had some good chats and rants with the other Moms. Then we went to my dear friend Anne’s house, I had an extra duckling in tow as a favor to a friend who was working. All the children jumped in the baby pool clothes and all. That was fun until we had to leave. The extra duckling fell off the trampoline…that was fun to tell her mother. We got home only to discover the extra duck had left her glasses. Also fun to tell her mother. Her Mom payed me! 40 bucks and some steak! (Yes steak, someone she knows slaughtered their cow and it is organic fresh beef!)
Extra duckling here all day tomorrow. She is a hand full.
Bleh I am nauseated all day. Nothing sounds good but yet I want to eat all the time. .. I have to be careful. Hubby is almost home. My favorite time of day. (also better with clean house, oh well)
