Craft day

Today was such a busy day. We had a craft day for all the home schooled. It was so fun!!! We made home made hot coco and bagged it up to put in Christmas mugs to give to the elderly. The small kids made snow men Christmas balls for there trees,And they all painted these little figurines and the they all painted there faces.It was such a nice day the kids done so good and had so much fun.We also got all our stuff together for Christmas caroling.



My dh is still out of town and I'm so ready for him to come home. I am so ready to get this month over with. I hope that next year I can be better prepared for Christmas.It seems like after thanksgiving everything gets rushed and you are running 90 miles a min. Trying to balance all this is killing me.I feel like I just cant rest.There is this party and that party and family to go to and shopping to do and crowds to face and bills to pay. I wish it was like it was when I was young.It seemed so simple back then. We all have Sunday school party's so that is 5 different parties. Then there is the home school party then the woman super club party.Way to busy this month.

T.V

Why does t.v cost so stinking much. We did the whole bundle thing and it was 125 a month we were okay well it is not at 150 a month so with the cell phone bill added that is 220 a month.I called my hubby and said we have got to do something there is so much more we can be doing with that money.Well all of a sudden we see the TV adds saying all TV will be digital so what does that mean from what we here that means no rabbit ears yoy will have to have a dish or cable.we don't use the home phone much.We have to have the Internet.It is now my mission to find a way i can cut this bill 150 a month is crazy.I think that if they are changing to were rabbit ears want work then basic cable should be free at every home. They don't have to add the fancy channels just the basic should be free and at every home.If we understand it right we could be wrong.still T.V cost way to much.

Im Give Out

Man what a week.I feel like I need a vacation. We had a great Thanksgiving. Now its time to get ready for Christmas.It is such a Gloomy day here. makes me want to curl up with a bowl of soup and read a good book. I feel like a have a list a mile long.

What a Day.

Well I did get a lot done. I did get my stairs cleaned and 4 loads of cloths washed.Cooked diner started in my room and bathroom.So in the morn i need to mop and finish the clothes, ans scrub the bathrooms.I will start cooking in the morn too. It looks like it will be another busy day. It is a never ending job around here.You get things all nice looking and then you have to start all over you never can just sit back and enjoy it. No matter how hard I try.I guess as a friend of mine says the circl of life.

It's Monday Already.

Man did that week just zoom by.I'm sure this one will to with it being Thanksgiving. I have so much to do this week. Ihave a ton of cooking i need to do. Shopping that needs to be done house work that needs to be done. I want to get the bathroom down stairs painted before thursday it really could use some paint since it is the bath room all the guest will use.Can i get all that done in the next 3 days. Oh and we went to the old haouse and packed suff up so i have some unpacking to do.we are hoping on going to the old hous after thanks giving and finish getting all he stuff out. So maybe by Christmas we will be done moving.we have been moving for a little over 3 months working on 4 and we still havent finished it. Well I better go i have so much to get done i have got to get it organized and get with it i hope to have the house cleaned and all the laundry done and unpacking done by in the morn.we will see if i get done. Maybe my friend who has so much energy will rubof on me.hehehe

Were did the time go????

How did the day just fly by? I got up when my hubby left for work blogged a little got the kids up at 9 let them eat and watch a cartoon then we started school work.Talked with the doc about my breast i go Wensday to have it checked. A little scared after all my mom went threw it is a little scary but I trust the Lord If he takes me down that road i know he will be there with me.The pain is getting UN real I did seem to manage to get more done today with the pain even if I'm eating Advil like candy. Well after school we cleaned the down stairs now its time for the upstairs and laundry i look at the time and it is 4:30 were has the day gone its time to start dinner.Then i will have to clean downstairs again.

Getting Old

Why is it that when you start to age things start to change so much? I don't mind the whole getting old thing at all.I just wander why does every thing kinda go south pain takes over hormones go crazy. Why oh Why i ask. Hormones are killing me mine are all gone and I'm just about to hit 30 i knew from a young age i would have problems seeing how at 23 they wanted to take all my female organs out and i refused i wanted more kids.Well now i still don't want them to after all the things i have been reading.I started having these awful pains in my breast i mean they feft like they were busting open and leaking stuff like when i nursed my kids. I woke up Sunday morn at 4 am and thought i was dying I stayed in bed all day just the gravity pull hurt so bad.and here it is 8 am Monday and I'm still on my back. I just cant seem to get warm that is until i have a good ole hot flash.Why is it that as you get older you cant seem to get warm.Her i sit with leggings socks and a coat on under the covers and I'm still freezing. Is it an age thing? I'm going to have to go get me some sweat pants to were around the house. You see i only were skirts in the house i do were pj's a few years ago i got ride off all my pants. Last week when me and my hubby went out i wore a pair of knee socks leggings a slip knee boots and a skirt along with a sweater ans a shirt under it and was still cold.I know a lot of women as they get or got older the cold weather killed them tehy had a hard time staying warm. Sometimes it gets so bad that once i get warm i don't want to move.But there is always a few days a month were i have hot flashes so bad i cant get cool. So for about 5 days a month i stay hot the rest i freeze half to death.



Schooling the girls

Okay it is hard doing all the kids it was so easy when it was just one of them.I feel like a failur at times that they are going to be dumb.My second grader is doing wanderful i wander if hers is to easy she is just zooming threw her work. I still worry will she know all she needs to she is a very very smart girl when she was in school she was tested and was one of the gifted children.My 6th grader on the other hand it is like pulling teeth she hates to do her school work she gets more spankings for that then any thing.is it that hard for other homeschoolers of many kids or is it just us. I feel like it is a constant battle.The othere day we wer trying to get school work done and they were fighting so i sent one to the dininng room the other was at the kitchecn table and tehy still were fighting yelling tell her to stop reading out loud and so on i was ready to run away so then i sent them to there rooms to finish school work.It is weeks like that i hate it makes me start to doubt homeschooling am i cute out for this. Then i have mom of 2 kids say its not hard i want to say you try doing 4 kids at a time i mean gee i have a 6th grader a second grader and a pre k 4 and then a 2 and a half year old running around acting crazy. So you can see it has been one of those weeks were i start thinkingg maybe it would be better if i put them back in school. Then God says no you will find what works just hold on cast your net one more time you all know the story when he told them to cast and they did after fishing all day and getting nothingh and when they did as the Lord asked they did catch some.Maybe it is the school books we use i ahve to find what works best with us i do belive i will be going back to landmark .That seems to be a great set for people who have many kids they are trying to school at one time.

Church

Man what a service we had!!! It is is wonderful when God shows up. I still stand amazed at how when you are going threw things and talking with the Lord he always sends a message your way to either show you that you are on the right road or you need to do some readjusting. As in on of my othere post i ahve been on this thing of restoring not being so judge meantal and bam our preacher preaches on 2nd chance christian are not 2nd class christians!!! Man it was so good. As i have been reading in the Bible even those that were great men and woman of God felled him The Lord did not turn his back on them . Then the preacher hits all that in the message. I cried like a baby God had been showing up around the house this week in diffrent ways and it had been a weepy week already. So to get there and have God fill the church house man it was so good. Im so far from were i want to be. I do know that one day i will be there it may only happen when i get to heaven and i no longer have this flesh at any rate it will be so sweet. God is so good. I do not deserve what he has done. I have feeled him in so many ways. Over the past few years i have been threw it. I can say i wouldnt change a thing to have what i have now. I have a great hubby one that loves me a whole bunch and i know not only because he tells me or shows me but i feel it. Some times it seems so sureal here we are happy a nice home it almost seems perfect. I keep waiting for it to fall apart. I often ask is this real? @ years agao i would have never thought us being were we are. Now if the whole extended family and oyr family church walk would get to were it use to be man it would just be heaven.My hubby travles alot and doestn get to go much. I just would to see him fall so inlove with the Lord that it is all he breaths i know that it will happen just in Gods time not mine. I praise God for they day when he calls me from out of town and says i was praying and God said or i was in the bible reading and God showed me.I do see how he is working on the extended family also. I was able to finally say how i felt to them and it was such a burden let loose. I now can only pray that God will put us were and how he wants us. I ask me hubby ever time i talk have you talk to your sis or dad Im trying to let him be the one that does it he needs that closens and i think it will all fall in place as long as i pray and trust God to do the work.so far God has been doing a Great job.After i let it all out of how i felt the next message at church was about family and how that is all you got out side of church you are to love them protect them even when there down or wrong cause those are the ones that will be there win all the others leave you. Well thats about it for now.

Going to Walmart!!!!!!!

I hate going there. I mean hate it. We had to go get a few things and i came out so down i always spend way to much. I made a list before i went we had to get razors, toliet paper,dish soap,dish washer soap,sandwich stuff,and some breakfast things,soap for the bath rooms. I got the girls some long sleved plain t shirts for the winter they were on sale for 4 bucks. i spent over 200 bucks. I hate that store you can never get out of there cheap. Why is that? They are so much cheaper on things like razors and soaps and stuff. I so hate shopping sometimes. When there are things you still need to get and you have a 200 or more bill already.I think for now on im going to go to target even if it is a little more.
