Stressful week

So, here I am having a very busy week. I knew that it was going to be a busy week going in to it. I was very busy. Everyone was so busy around me too. We have had tons of sunshine and warm weather. YAY! I live somewhere where we have had a snowy dark winter and now.. we have sunshine and light and heat. I am very thankful for that. My week kind of started crazy last week. My oldest daughter's birthday was coming and I wanted her to have a slumber party with her little friends on Friday night. I didnt sleep Thursday night because I was so excited. Then the little girlies decided to be awake until 1215 am. SO, once again, I did not sleep. Then on Saturday I had a bridal shower I went to for someone new coming into "the family" (My Husbands family is about 55 people and we all live in about a 40 mile radius, with only one or two people living out that far. The bulk of the family lives within about a 15 mile radius that is what I call "the family".) And that was fine and then we had dinner with a family friend and that was good. We got some crazy news about something and so I did not sleep Saturday night. But it was only a small piece of the picture and so on Sunday after having found out a little more and then going to my Mom's for lunch and then shopping for Frick's birthday and then going to another family members for dinner I once again did not sleep on Sunday night. I had to get up and go to work on Monday morning, which I know I have whinned about not usually doing that before, and after work on Monday I went to finish up birthday shopping and spent time with my kidos. I did not sleep in Monday night because I found out even more about the crazy news. Then on Tuesday I went to my Mom's house to get ready for Frick's birthday. I made her a cake and cleaned the house and got her shish-ka-bobs ready. That was the dinner that she had requested. I spent a few hours with her at school and that was fun. Then she was blessed with some great birthday presents. Tuesday night I was very tired, but I was excited because Wednsday was Field Day at Frick's school!! So, once again I did not sleep too well. I spent the day with Frick's class and even Frack came to the festivities for a little while. It was great fun, but I was tired when I got home, but I still went to a class that I am taking. When I got home, I think that I finally slept, but it was not enough. I could have slept more. Then instead of getting my house clean like I needed to, I got a mirgraine headache and I did not feel good at all. (WARNING!! I am going into whinning mode!) I just didn't feel good. And then it was Frick's last day of first grade and that was depressing to me. I feel sad that she is getting older. I am afraid that I will lose her one day. I hate to see her get older and more and more capable and not really need me. But I know that we will always be friends and that some part of her will always need me. She is amazing and I love her alot. She is reading this over my shoulder and is correcting my spelling as I go. HAHAHA!!! Well, that is all I have for now.

Crazy Monday

So, I had to work today when normally I do not work on Mondays. I really like being home because then i can clean up after the weekend. Sometimes we have boring weekends, but any more we have BUSY weekends. So, it means I need to catch up on laundry and all that stuff. But we are busy at work and I needed to take some time and finish up some things. So, I went to work. Nothing too exciting but I did finish some things. That is good, but, I missed being at home. The sun was out. It was a little bit colder than this weekend, but that is okay. Okay. That is all, I just wanted to say I had to work today and I was not happy. But, I survived and then got to take Julie to Fred Meyers and do some grocery shopping and we had a lot of fun. She was cracking me up and being really silly. I know that she is amazing when she is all by herself but as she is the baby and the kids are so close in age, we really have not been alone together very much at all. But, that will change this fall when all the other kids will go to school. My little boy will be in Kindergarten this fall and so, I will only have one little girl at home. It will be different and I am not too sure what to think about it at all, but, that is ok. Julie and will have lots of fun. It will be good to do some things all by ourselves. Well, I will sign off now, I just wanted to get something down.

Into to spring/summer we go

Here we are in the beginning of May. When we first moved here, I we saw that May was the prettiest month here. The snow melts and leaves the green to come out. But the last few years it has not been like that. Last year we had a HORRIBLE summer. It was rainy and dark.Our winter was not the worst one, but we did have a two or three week period were the temp did not get above 10 degrees below zero. That was misrable. I hope that does not happen again. But I am sure at some point in my life... it will. But here we are tiptoeing into our spring and nobody knows what we are in store for. I think that every person is HOPING that we will not have a repeat of last year. But, on the 20th of April, we had a great sunny day. Then the sun dissapeared for a couple of days and then... we hit 60 degrees this last Wen. It was HEAVEN. Since then we have even hit 70 degrees. It is Sunday night right now. And I am sure that anyone who is friends with someone on Facebook who lives in Alaska, they will tell you that we are enjoying the sunshine. It is totally awesome. The last few days has been great. We already had more sunny and more heat than ALL of last summer. So, I am Oh So happy. I am going into a busy week, but it is okay I am just trying to remember to see the little things and sieze the little moments. But, anyways, that is what I am thinking about today.

Been too long

Well, it has been way too long since I have blogged. I like doing it, I just need to make it a habit. SIGH! I have way too many things to make a habit and a steady thing in my life. Today I worked all day to get the kids all set up. I cleaned up the kids room and moved beds around. I am hoping it makes the night times a little easier. I have had two kids in my bed for a week straight and I am DONE with all of that! It has been a great week weather wise here. Normal is about 40or50. We hit 68 today! I am loving it! The sun is so nice!! But, its all good anyways. There is alot of change going on all around me. I have a friend who is leaving and that is not really hitting me yet. I am pretty sure that it will. It has been a long time since I have had to say goodbye to someone. I am also sure that it will be hard. It is someone that I am pretty close too, we go shopping together for groceries and other things. So, I will need to adjust. And it will be ok. We have a staff change going on with our pastors. I am not too sure what to think about that. But, life will go on and I will be ok. In fact some day I will be good. I am not a big fan of the whole change thing and I will be figuring that all out. I know that I need to adjust my life not to be too busy. I am not too sure how to do that. I am really going to be praying for that. I know that it is one thing that I need to fix. Praying more. Spending time with the Lord to see what He is saying. I also need to cook every day and to do away with the bad things in my life. Bad things meaning the things that are not good for me. Soda, sugar, fast food, I need to pray to break those things off so that I will not have to fight it off. But anyways, not to keep going on. But I am in the middle of some crazy thinking and they are just making me a little nuts. But I will be good again. Okay. Subject change. Hahaha. I told you way too much about change. I will need to get some sleep and then I will be able to come up with something better to share about. YAY SPRING!!
