Time change.... bluck!

This time change business is just awful, now while I look forward to longer days. Getting up on a Sunday morning after losing 1 hour of sleep is near torture. Who benefits from this anyhow? I mean, really?? And as if it isn't bad enough, then you throw your kids in to the mix and it is nearly impossible. All three of my kids were just cranky today. Getting up for church was full of wining, crying, moaning and fighting. I am just hoping this time around it doesn't take the 3 weeks to get us back on track. Like I said Bluck....

Ouch!

Let me just say that although exercising is wonderful for you.. it hurts! Yikes!! I bought myself a personal trainer for the new year and I work out with her 2 times a week. I am so happy to be doing something for myself but man she really works me! Every muscle in my body is sore. I hate walking because I feel like I am going to just collapse. I hear it gets better, I hope it does!

On another topic, J is still out of work. We found out that it isn't beneficial for him to even try to look for a job because we will lose the income he is getting now. Nice.. so he is currently doing "chores" assigned to him on a daily basis. If I have to work all day, he better be working as well.

Thanks to all my friends for their love and support. You all know who you are and you all mean the world to me! Thank you!!!

Here we go again...

Wow, just when things were starting to get better. *sigh* J lost his job, they laid him off. Crap, I have faith though. I am sure that there is something out there for us and then he will find a job that he really loves so that he can be happier with who he is and what he does. It is a bit scary, but we are making the budget work and I know that we will be fine. God will take care of us if we have just a bit of faith. And so far faith is something that I have a lot of and I don't plan on losing. ;)

Here's to a New Year!!

As we come upon the New Year, I have to say that I really am so glad. It has been a rough year for me and so many of my friends. This next year just has to be better... for us all. I am looking forward to a fresh start. I was thinking about some New Years Resolutions and I have decided this year, I am not going to make any except to try to take some time out for myself. I figure, that way I have done nothing to fail, and I can always use a bit more "me" time. :)

I am also ready for J to go back to work, SO ready. I have tried to be patient, but it is so difficult when I come home from a (very) long day at work and then I have to clean and put the kids to bed etc. because he hasn't done a damn thing all day. It has been two months since the surgery, surely by now he can do some light household chores?? But he doesn't, so I spend my evenings and weekends desperately trying to create some order in my home.

So, as I said.. here's to a New Year and even better, a New Me!

Cheers!!

Is it Christmas yet?

The holidays are amazing and I love them except....
my kids drive me CRAZY! They are so busy this time of the year and so hyper. They want to find out what the gifts are, how many gifts they have and who they came from. It amazes me how much energy they have this time of year. There is no slowing them down. Where can I get just a piece of their energy? I think if we could bottle it up there would be a lot of money in that.

Now I have more gifts to wrap and children to wrestle into bed.

Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas and all God's Blessings in the New Year!

Migraines!

What is it about migraines that can just knock the life out of you? I am sitting here with another migraine and really just want to crawl under a rock. A quiet rock with no kids screaming! A dark rock without the sun shining through. I usually get these once or twice a month and it kills me. I can't figure out why I get them and the doctor can't either. Some people tell me it is because of stress, hmm.. these started when I was about 15, what on earth at 15 are you stressed about?

The nice thing when I was younger is that I could crawl into a room and go to sleep.... for hours. Now, not so much. I have too many responsibilities and who can sleep when your kids are desperately vying for your attention? Not me, and of course it doesn't help the usually my husband usually has some type of responsibility to take care of so then I am usually fighting through a migraine while trying to take care of 3 kids. Very difficult! I do feel sorry for them because I have no patience when I have a migraine. And they are usually in trouble for being loud, or just obnoxious.

Off to take some medicine and try to make it go away in time to get my family out to church this evening.
