Busy me

Well, really I am just sitting at the table most of my days making hair pretties!
ANother addiction that has taken over my life.
I am being creative ...so that is good.
I am still doing my motherly and wifely duties....so that is good too.
My poor family though.
I hardly see much of my sisters any more.
I am hanging out with my awesome aunt Kathie ALOT.

We had 2 birthdays. Emma is potty trained.
Mikey is totally walking.
and Nathan is doing better in school.
Sammy is still loud and Matthew is Matthew.
All is swell.

so sad

before i tell you why, i have to tell you that it is silly.
And I totally understand if you think I am a brat.
'Cause I ususally am.

MY CELL PHONE BROKE!
okay, now I can still use it as a phone.
But if anyone knows me, I am a texting girl all the way.
I can't text.
I can't look at texts, I can't set any settings on my phone.
I am like frozen in time.
I have a ton of things to do today, but I need to figure out what to do next.
Do i order a new phone?
Do I take mine into a verizon store to dee if they can fix it?
Do I use Jeff and he gets a new phone?
I just bought 2 ring tones.
SUper sad. I loved my phone.
I am a super fast text-er on that phone.

a funny thing

It is funny now.
To me, I do not feel the need to blog.
I honestly didn't think it would happen to me.
But it did.
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE this blogging world, I just don't think what mundane things that are going on in my life are that interesting enough to put on my blog anymore.
Really, my life is boring.
Jeff gets up with Matthew who is now in seminary and gets him off to that at 5:45am. He gets rest of the boys up, and started and I get up and finish getting them off to school.
Then we go back to bed IF Mikey and Emma are still sleeping. (hoping to change that to exercising)
We eat and hang out, do laundry, run errands and then unless it is a Monday or Tuesday, he goes to work. (Sunday we attempt to go to church)
I hang out with Emma and Mike and my Aunt Kathie, and then the boys get home.
I do a lot of talking loud saying things like...." Do you have Homework?" or "Do your chores before you play outside?" ...or... "No video games, unless your room is clean" ( I really stuck to my guns on that one, and they haven't played in weeks, because they don't want to clean their rooms...I still make them)
I clean a lot.
No, really A LOT!
I cook dinner, Homework, more chores, and cleaning, get ready for the next day and off to bed for the boys.
There are a lot of funny things that happen in between, but honestly, the house keeping and the lack of sleep, and I believe, all the fumes from the cleaning supplies, I forget almost everything.
All kidding aside, My life is great.
We are DIRT POOR, but we have each other, a place to live, family close by, friends and food to eat. What more could I ask for? (actually, a few more things wouldn't hurt)
I love my kids.
Mikey is THE most adorable little baby boy I have ever seen.
No, I am not kidding.
His face smile is contagious. He makes me so very happy.
Emma is so funny. So cute. and so........ 3.
the boys are boys.
Gross. Gross. And Gross. But funny a lot of the time.
Except for the fighting, they don't tell you that.
They fight A LOT!
But it is usually over and they are hugging and saying sorry before mom can make them hug and kiss in the front yard.
They are less frustrating ..... I wonder why....
See, my life is boring, not really blog worthy.
Don't worry, I will be here in a few days to bore you some more.
Are you kidding, me not blog?
That would be like the sun not being yellow?
So weird.

Flash Back Friday - Day dreaming

I only post this picture to try and remember what it was like to be cold.
And at the time of this picture, all I wanted was to be warm.
I am not of fan today, I really dont like this weather......
This hot, gross sweaty, make you all kinds of cranky, freakin' Sacramento weather.

I do miss the snow.

The cold, white, and wet perfection, I wish I had some of right now.....
