Welcome to my Home!!

I have been sick of my cluttered mess for quite some time now. I just recently decided to do something about it. Talking to a friend and Dawn helped inspire me with ideas. So 2 weekends ago I decluttered and started rearranging things and putting things away we had out but weren't using. Sometimes life can just get away from you and it can be very overwheming. Now, My house is not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, but it is a whole lot nicer than it was before. I am very happy with how things turned out. I'm thankful my husband tolerated my decluttering, rearranging, clean-up frenzy and helped me out alot. Sometimes rearranging can give you a boost to keep things clean. It does for me anyway. I just need a change sometimes. Well, I hope the you all are not bored with this, but I just felt like sharing my home with you. Dawn is the only one that has been here so she knows what it looked like before. If any of you have comments or suggestions I am always open to knew ideas.

I just noticed my dining room pictures are out of order and I don't know how to fix it with out deleting and redueing and I just typed this whole thing and thats just too much to retype,LOL!

We had friends,(The Boyer's) over for dinner Saturday. They always come bearing gifts for the girls. Hope enjoyed playing with all the presents while Hallie and Heidi colored eggs.

Jeremy and Hallie

Phil and Sue enjoyed watching the girls have easter egg fun and Phil actually joined in and helped Heidi out.

The girls looked so cute in thier dresses. Everyone fussed over them. We called my mom on the computer so Grandma and Pop-pop could see them too, of course.

I got so many compiments on my Dress today. It felt great. We had a great Easter!!!

The healing process...

Well, we are all getting better, but it seems everyday there is a new battle. Yesterday, Heidi had a fever and was throwing up. Today, Hallie woke up with an ear ache and cried herself to sleep on the couch. She is still there as I type this.

Jeremy woke me up Saturday Morning and surprised me with a shopping trip for an Easter dress and a "big limit for us" of what I could spend. I haven't had a shopping trip "on purpose" in 6 years and thats no joke!! It was so much fun dragging him around to all those stores and I found my dress at Kohls. The last store we went to of course,lol. Wait till you hear this deal. I found the dress and it was $50.00,(not on sale). I was a little disappointed it wasn't on sale, but Jeremy said get it. I got 3 pairs of ear rings that were $12.00 on sale for $7.20 for all 3. I also had a gift card for $26.00. So I get up to make my purchase and the dress was actually on Sale for $40.00,a little better. I gave her my gift card and the grand total of my whole purchase for the dress and ear rings was.....

$13.00 and change!!!!!!!!!!!

I was so excited. I thought I did pretty good. The dress isn't something I would normally pick out. But it does look nice on me and for those of you who are saying,"Wow, that kneck line looks pretty low" Well, your right, it does"Look" pretty low, but it isn't when it's on me. It is very modest. I hope you all had a great weekend too. Since I didn't go anywhere near my limit Jeremy told me to keep the money. So I took him and the girls home put them all down for a nap and went back out shopping!!!!!!!!

We had to return our brand new bedding because after one wash the seams busted. I was sad, but there must be something better out there for us. I already bought the yellow sheets to go with it and they are so hard to repackage, so we have to find something to go with yellow. If you see anything please give me your suggestions. The sheets are very bright yellow.

So So Sick!!!

We are not sharing pictures we all look and feel terrible. The flu hit us and hit us hard. My husband who goes to work even when he is sick and never takes off had to take a vacation Day for....ME!! I felt so bad, but there was nothing we could do about it. I was bed ridden and couldn't move.

I had 3 girls to take care of what else could we do. So My wonderful husband took the night off and never tried to make me feel bad at all. I did that to myself. When I asked him what we would do about vacation this summer because he used up a day, He said, "It's ok and we'll work it out."

So if you think of it through out your day and days to come, please pray for us that we would all get well very very soon. I'm tired of not being able to breathe through my nose.

Hallie-5 still has a cough and runny nose, Heidi-4 has a little cough and Hope-17months has a cough and runy nose too. It seems I got the worst which is usually what happens to us moms and some how we are supposed to run a household anyway.

I am doing better and functioning. I just want it over, ya know?

"How a 4 year old relays a message"

Mommy: "Heidi will you please go get my sweat pants in the TV room?"


Heidi: "Mommy I can't find them."


Mommy: "Ok, go ask Daddy to help you."


Heidi: "Daddy, mommy wants her Sweaty pants and I can't find them."

Does choking run in the family?

Well, it all started when we decided to buy Little Ceasar's pizza. I set Hope up in her Highchair and gave her a very small peice. She has never choked and she usually does pretty well. I gave out all the pizza and then we heard her start choking, so I walked over to check on her and pat her back a little. It wasn't coming up! So I got her out of her chair and laid her on my arm and was patting her back pretty hard and it wasn't budging. So then I was a little scared! I yelled to my husband,"Jeremy it isn't coming"!!! So he grabbed her and she coughed and started Crying, Praise the Lord!!! I too have wondered how I would handle a tuff situation like that just like my sister -in -law Dawn said in her blog. I wasn't paniking either, but afterward I too sat down and pondered what could have happend. It took a while until I could stop shaking. It's a scary thing when your child needs help and you feel helpless. Yes Dawn, Thank God for Gaurdian Angels.

Hope loves to eat no matter what it is,lol.
