Prevailing...

Hi everyone, I know I know, I've been a crappy blogger!! Honestly, things are crazy!!

I have been babysitting to help bring in a little income while Ryan is off,

we've been hosting our life group in our home,

and I painted the living room.

We've gotten snow,

new winter boots,

snowsuits on for school everyday,

very difficult spelling tests,

but a 'well done, what neat printing' on Gabe's test last week,

so it's coming along. I

have ironed, hemmed, and put up new curtains,

emptied and refilled the fish tank,

with new rocks and all shined up by my man.

I've taken out a bag of gargabe every day.

I've been doing laundry,

went to a ladies bible study,

arranged playdates,

and even occasionally did my hair and makeup.

Went for a girl's nite out, which was awesome,

somehow lost a day and have to pay the late fee for the movies I rented,

flushed my favorite fish down the toilet to fishy heaven.

I read my Bible, (not enough)

found someone on facebook that I'd been missing for years,

and prayed lots for my friends,

and for myself.

I've been in denial about friends leaving town,

and even more so that we might have to leave too,

if we can't find work.

I have cleaned toilets,

swept floors,

changed bums,

nursed the baby.

I have fed the baby pablum and found he sleeps much better that way.

Sadly I slacked off for the last two days and once again was up every 2 hours.

So I'm tired.

I have made meals, three times a day, trying to please us all.

I have generally succeeded.

I have aqua-fit-ed with Dawn,

and danced with my kids.

I played games with Avery and Gabe that were created by Avery and Gabe.

BUT.... I haven't blogged. Sorry all.

In my defense I am finding it a little hard to stay chipper,

and who wants to read a downer post? Not me!!

Also, for some reason our camera flash won't work,

so there are no cute pictures to post, although the kids are cuter than ever!!

Hang in there, and I will too! God Bless!!
