I really am not a good blogger. In the beginning I was so excited about blogging and keeping record of what I have been doing. It was also allowing my friends who are not
bloggers to get on and read to catch up on me. I have been
informed that I am a slacker. So, I am going to give it a shot again! I am going to blog, but to warn you it may be rather random! Due to my little spare time, my
Internet and old computer seem to be real
challenges when it comes to me getting anything done on here!
So, where do I start? Well, I should just say go to my cousins blog and you can see some of what we have been up too

LOL (She is such a better blogger.)
I have been working on some projects around my house. I have painted walls, furniture, and cabinets. I have torn dry wall out of one of the bathrooms. I
dealt with a
disastrous septic back up in the basement bathroom....and have felt like a single mom when my husband works certain shifts for so long. I have recruited a about dozen people to bake and donate cakes for a local fund raiser our fire company does... I have tried to keep up with birthdays, in the first week of Feb alone I have 4 in my family.....I could go on and on, now do you know why I haven't been faithful to my blog? I know they are all excuses but do you forgive me...Please?????
The kids and I met actually up with a friend I don't get to see much and we went to lunch and shopping! I had a great time Heather, sorry it got cut short! I could only go as far as the kids could
tolerate. They did pretty good, but got so tired, so we parted and called it a day! I did find some good deals and got some birthday presents out of the way for some up
coming parties we have been invited too! So I got something accomplished out of the house and had fun doing it!
My cousin and I have joined a cake decorating class. Monday nights out with no kids learning something creative and fun...sounds too good to be true huh? I am all about my kids and love them dearly so don't take that wrong! My cousin and I are both stay at home mothers that watch children for friends of ours. So stuck in the house or at home most of the time is not one of the pros to this job. I think it is good to have a break once in a great while. It refreshes me and makes me a better mommy and wife!
So, I may have a busy, busy life style, but when you break it all down it is a very simple life I love living. It really isn't complicated, just hectic at times! It all comes down to me at the end of everyday, knowing we have a "home" we all gather safely together in as a family. Each night after I tuck my girls
snugly into their beds, I climb comfortably in to mine. I open the my Bible and read, I close my Bible and pray. I love the freedom of ending each day like that. The
commotions that fills the house hold during each day make, that quiet time moment for me even more peaceful and enjoyable! It's the simple things in life we may come to enjoy the most!
