Sometimes I just don’t have much to say.

It was a really long weekend.

But first let me say that I got Katie’s kindergarten acceptance letter in the mail! She will be going half-day next year! I am beyond thrilled

We had the Gehrings over for dinner on Friday night. The kids had a blast. We played cards. The night ended with a cheap $1 glow stick exploding on the girls carpet. I will say it looked kind of cool. The yellow stains in the carpet visable the next morning, not so cool anymore. Especially since we just got our carpets steam cleaned. Oh well.

Saturday I got a mani/pedi with Michelle. We went shopping at Kroger and then had lunch at Wendy’s. It was really nice. I made lasagna and we had 4 people come over for dinners of 8. It’s a thing LCC does and you sign up to go to a dinner to meet new people.  It was a great time. I’m glad we hosted. After that I went to work on a little service project for a dear friend Got home after midnight.

Sunday I was not in a good mood in the morning. I was on my own getting to church with the kiddos and my attitude was absolutely horrible.  After church I went to see my Mom. She just got back from a medical missions trip to Honduras. Then I went to work on the project until midnight again.

Today, I took the kids to and from school and worked on the project. I have a bit of anxiety about the project because I don’t know how it was received.

Anyway it was a really busy weekend, and on top of that I had just gotten my period (hormonal, um, yes!) and Alex is trying to *finally* cut his first tooth (grumpy and not sleeping so well). Add me staying up even later because of YouTube feeding my pregnancy obsession. I’ve been very tired.

I just need to get back into the swing of things. I don’t particularly like being quiet, it usually means I’m trying to withdraw from the world.

I don’t want to do that. I’m not sure if that’s even what I’m doing.

I’m too tired to sit and analyze my motives.

I’m off to bed, after watching one more thing on YouTube. I swear, just 1

I was wondering why I was so emotional and depressed.

I did NOT want to do anything or go anywhere. I was barely getting on the computer, and I love my computer time.

When “she” showed up all the pieces came together. “She” can be such a hassle.  My hormones do NOT like to be disrupted. Now that my first post partum “Aunt Flo” has left the building, I can resume my life again!

Wahoo!

And this Saturday is Valentine’s Day, so to have “her” out of the way before then equals a double wahoo!

And in honor of Valentine’s Day I am doing another giveaway, one that I feel is highly important. So look for that soon

The highlight of my weekend was the Annual Scrap Weekend the my friend Stephanie throws. It was at church this year. I didn’t really attend last year. I hung out a bit and helped Ann-Morgan with her pages. The year before that was awesome.

This time around I didn’t even scrap.

I worked hard on Rachel’s hat and scarf, and it’s almost complete. I have the scarf to finish, but I can knock that out today. I need to get some more yarn, I ran out of the color.

I *finally* finished  the blanket for our family room! I started it forever ago and got done except for the last bit of edging. So I finished it up and weaved in all the ends! Go me! It is huge. It had to be big enough for Brian and I to share! And it’s so soft. I absolutely love it.

Friday night after getting organized, Kelly, Kendra, Michelle and I all went to see “He’s just not that into you“. Great movie, it is really funny. There were parts that were predictable, but all in all, it was just a fun movie. I recommend it for a girl’s night out! Saturday morning, we did breakfast at Bob Evan’s. My favorite meal of the whole weekend was lunch. Kelly, Kendra and I went to Max & Erma’s and I got the Tomato Mozzarella Chicken on Kelly’s reccomendation. It was fabulous. Seriously, a party in my mouth. I want to eat it again and soon! So if you are ever at a Max & Erma’s, you must try it! I got home around 10:30pm.

Brian did awesome. He even took all three kiddos to Dave and Buster’s for lunch and games. I was highly impressed!

I can’t wait until next year.

I think I might have been bit by the scrapbooking bug again. I went out and got some much needed adhesive. This is a good thing. I am way behind.

Alright, I’ve rambled on enough.

Happy Monday everyone!

At least that is what I thought I was doing. Brian said I had bobbing head syndrome, and it looked like I was a puppet being manipulated by Kelly Peters, who happened to be sitting right behind me.

Rick Tawney is going to be the part time cell group pastor and he was the speaker today. The problem wasn’t the message or the way it was delivered. The problem was that Alex woke up at 3am and was hitting me in the face with his little fist and whipping me with his spit cloth! He wasn’t interested in nursing. He was just interested in talking and being wide awake! I finally got up with him around 6:30am. Church had just the right environment for my brain to shut down and try to nod off into dream land. I was absolutely exhausted.

I was wondering why Brian kept nudging me, I thought he was being sweet and rubbing my leg because he loves me, he was just embarrassed by my lack of consciousness!

This is how I feel right now! I feel so loved! God has truly blessed me! I’m so thankful for my husband! He is such a wonderful man and father to our children! I’m so thankful for our church, LCC! It has been such an amazing journey! I’m so thankful that we were apart of it all! The new building is such a wonderful blessing! Praise the Lord! I’m so thankful for Jesus! His blood was spilled so that I could have eternal life. So that my sins could be forgiven! I’m so unworthy, but God’s grace is so wonderful! I can’t even describe how it makes me feel! Just loved and forgiven! I feel as though my faith has been taken to another level.. Like I was missing something.. and now I have been found and given a renewed hope! Thank you to all my friends, IRL and LJ.. Your love and support has gotten me through so many rough times! And the laughter and fun has lifted my spirit! You are all truly wonderful! Thank you Lord! For all the blessings, big and small you have given to me, my family and my friends!
