Change

I am officially a stay at home mom!!!  I love it.!!!!!! 
Our life  has become a little less stressful. I have begun babysitting for two of my sisters, so the house is crazy from 5:30 am to 4 pm Monday thru Friday. Today I have 9 kids including my own.  The boys only want to fish and swim and the girls, well they're girls.  I am planning to get my scrapbook room started soon so I can actually scrapbook. Mom is going to give me her sewing cabinet and machine. I am sad to say that I have not had my machine out since we moved back 8 1/2 yrs ago.

My big plans are to take a little more time getting closer to God. My youngest son chose to give his heart to the Lord at our vacation bible school. So happy and proud, he is such a caring little fella. 

I DID IT!!!!!

Well, I finally made the leap and quit my job. I am so excited and yet very nervous.  Ron and I have talked for years about doing this but I just couldn't cut the strings. I am just so relieved. I really feel like this is the direction God is leading me to go. I am just going to keep praying and my faith strong. Here goes nothing!!!!

Spring Cleaning

One of my favorite days is quickly approaching......SPRING CLEAN-UP!!!!!! I love getting rid of broken tricycles, bikes, broken wagons, and the list goes on.  Ron and I are trying to clean out our garage which we never park in. Our big plan is to finish it out and make a large family room, office, and SCRAPBOOK room. I am so excited to have a space for my crafting collections.

Big project for the month of April is going to be painting the Sunday school room at my church. I ordered a  tree wall sticker which is pretty cool.  The age range is 4-8 yrs so I am trying to meet somewhere in the middle for decorations.  I will post some before and afters in a few weeks.

Have a great week and remember GOD is so good!

Couch to 5K

This year we, Ron and I, are determined to run a 5k. So far, I am to week 6 in the program and struggling. Ron just can make this look so easy. I am going to try and challenge myself to continue with the program in the madness of baseball season. So excited to watch my boys play ball this spring and summer. Until next time!!

Working Mom

The year has started out with a nasty gastro bug to infect our house. Nice start! Oh well, I did get to take a day off work to hang with my baby today. Bummer that she is sick though. I really wish I could take the huge step and just stay at home all the time. A BIG leap of faith, but I just am not there yet.

In the world we live in now I feel like I should show my children it is good to work for a living. However, at the same time I would love to stay at home and be there when they get off the bus.  Such hard decisions with good and bad sides to each. As for now, I will continue to work part-time and be thankful for a wonderful job in this economy. 

Have a great week to a wonderful New Year!!!
