I'm Sorry Momma, I'm now getting Payback

After getting off work late last night, I stayed up with the hubby watching TV. Then this morning we got up early to go to a friend of ours birthday party. It was fun and the kids had a blast eating cake and playing baseball.  We then went out to eat as a family and did a little grocery shopping at Walmart.

Now I'm getting payback. We decided to let both kids have friends over. Well I am still up and so are the kids, hubby is watching a movie in the other room. Trying to get the kids to wind down and go to bed, HA!! I remember many nights of staying up late with the girls talking and watching movies, so I guess I'm getting what I gave all those years ago. :)

Ahh summer

Just wanted to say that nothing says summer like kiddos playing on the trampoline with a sprinkler underneath it.  And I got out there and played some too!

Then we moved the sprinkler and I let the kids play some more and then just dried them off and stuck them in their pj's.  Another thing is that it is HOT here. And besides the fact that my truck reads 104 on the thermometer this is what I came home too.

You know it's hot when the cat parks himself next to the fridge to keep cool. Made this momma laugh!!

Turning Around the Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

Yesterday was a horrible, no good, very bad day.  I know everyone has experienced one of these where several things seem to pile up into one day that spread out over a few days, you could handle but one day crammed full of them is enough to make you want to pull your hair out. However, I'm not going to complain and whine about it, instead I'm going to try and turn it around.

I am grateful for a momma who helps me whenever I need it, whether its watching the kids for an hour so I can run errands, or picking up, drying, and bringing back laundry since the dryer is still having some issues.

I am grateful for my husband who is "Mr. Fix-It" and hopefully will have the dryer fixed once the part reaches us hopefully within the next 7 to 10 business days. :)

I am grateful for a spiritual momma & friend who helps me and understands me.

I am grateful for healthy, loving kiddos that still want hugs and kisses from their momma.

I am grateful for a home to raise our family in and to spend time & love my husband and kids in.

I am grateful for sweet, creamy cups of coffee in the morning when the house is quiet and still.

I am grateful for the love of a heavenly Father, who takes care of us, and reminds me daily that some things aren't worth griping about.  Thank you for my many blessings, Lord.


I pray that anyone who reads this will be blessed today and count their many blessings, even on those "horrible, no good, very bad days."

 

Weekend wrap up

This weekend was nice & relaxing. We took the kids to Damon's grandparents and spent the weekend having fun with his aunts, swimming, eating, playing wii and doing a whole lot of nothing. It was awesome!!
