My Home…

I love my home. I love everything about it. I really love it at Christmas. It is so pretty. I know this is so vain. To talk all about something that is so temporal. But I really enjoy everything about it. My mom helped me to hang some curtains in the kitchen tonight, and it is even more cozy. I just want to sip on some coffee and sit in there.

Our home is peaceful…except when the kids are playing. But you can just sense the peace in our home. I think it keeps our kids settled.
I love walking into my room. It is like our own retreat. I do not like the kids in my room. It is my space.

I love our living room. The way we have it arranged right now is nice. I have a habit of changing furniture around, but we have kept it this way for about 6 months. And i love it. We have had fires a lot lately. And I love getting all curled up on the couch to read a book by the fire.

I love all the trees outside. That was a big attraction for us when we bought the home. Of course, raking them all is not always so fun.

I love each of the kids rooms, they are full of so much personality.

I love my home. I am at peace tonight!

We are still sick

Can you believe it, we are still sick. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I have nothing ready. But I am thankful that my family is all here with me…even though we are sick. I will post more once I get all 5 monkeys in bed.

Sick Kids

Yep we have sick kids. Chandler started by being REALLY sick. SO sick they thought he had bacterial meningitis and sent us to Children Hospital and we were there for 15 hours. And they had to do a Spinal Tap. Oh my word. Talk about a mom’.s nightmare. He was SO brave though, he did not even cry. I was such a proud mama. He has not eaten in several days and still does not feel well. But he is better than what he was. Well tonight Ben started getting sick. Can we all just say attack from the devil??? Seriously! So anyways, I have been cleaning up lots of throw up. Taking Temperatures. Making soup. Trying to keep 5 kids happy. And keep my own mind sane! So we will be back, once we get some healthy people in the house. I must go lysol some more!

23 POUNDS GONE

Yep that is my new total. To say I am excited would be an understatement. To go from feeling so miserable and being overweight, to seeing results, after trying everything in the book. I AM EXCITED!!!!
Does it interest you?

Rockin Rollin…

Okay…God is BIG! DO YOU REALLY BELIEVE THAT!!! We are back FULL SWING with the adoption with our family. I am so HAPPY!!! I just could not believe that it had come to that head to all end for nothing. WE KNOW beyond a SHADOW OF A DOUBT that the baby belongs with this family. [...]

Now I know…

Why we go through the boys underwear so fast. I always am washing a WHOLE load of whites. With TONS of undies. Today as Ben was getting dressed, I noticed his rear end to look a little bigger! So I asked if he has more than one pair on? So he smiles really big, and [...]

Are you serious?

That is the thought that keeps running through my head with all this adoption stuff. To finally get to where we were at, to finally see the light at the end of the tunnel, to find the right family, to go through everything that we have gone through. FOR??? It is so frustrating. It actually [...]

Overwhelmed…

That would be a good word for how I am feeling at the current moment. I am overwhelmed for many many reasons. Thank God I am taking my supplements and my levels for the adrenal stuff are okay, other wise I think I would be in BIG trouble.
Anyways, the adoption. Oh the adoption. Can [...]

Tired

Today I am really tired. Not physically. Just emotionally. Tired of dealing with the adoption stuff. We just want a quick and easy process. Of course, nothing good in life comes easy. Think about the road that we have had to take to get to where we are today. Some said we took the [...]

Running…

So Yes I am still here. We have been so busy. Good busy! God is just blessing us like crazy. I am amazed by him. I really am. I know in life you go through the valley and the mountain tops. Right now this is just a good season in our life. The friendships that [...]
