Busy!

First of all, a friend of mine put this on her myspace page and I thought it was super cute!!!

stole my heart

This has been a busy week! We had an emergency play date with Josiah and Chelsea on Tuesday. That was tons of fun...so fun that we have decided to do it at least every other week. Two of us will keep the 3 kids...it actually worked out really well. That way the mommies can get some time alone and the kids can play together. I worked Wednesday and Thursday. Friday was a holiday for Brice....such a special surprise because I had forgotten that he gets the Friday and Monday of Monday holidays off. We just spent time together...all 3 of us. It was nice. Then I went to get my Mother's Day gift in the afternoon...ended up lasting for like 3 hours. I got a pedicure and manicure but the manicure looked AWFUL...so, I went back today after work and got it redone....it took FOREVER again!!! Ugh! The good thing is that my nails look the best they ever have...it was worth the wait but geez!

Work today was uneventful...THANKFULLY! The past two weekends have been crazy. A coworker told me today that I am insane for volunteering to work on Memorial Day...she is probably right. We will see. I will be on a liquid diet on Monday and clear liquid diet on Tuesday in preparation for my EGD and colonoscopy on Wednesday. Krista and I have started on a personal fitness program at the gym where I am committed to workout 30 minutes 3 times a week....this week has been difficult and next week will be even more difficult. BUT I CAN DO IT! Weight loss is still going well.


Rachel's pediatrician had her baby girl yesterday. I peeked my head into her room today and the baby is absolutely beautiful! Of course, Rachel's doctor is beautiful, so there ya go! Anyway, I didn't ask her name...completely forgot.


ITS A BABY GIRL



We will fly to Little Rock on Friday for Brice's parent's 40th wedding anniversary. I am looking forward to seeing everyone and celebrating such a special event with them. Just pray for Rachel to be cooperative during travel...we haven't flown since she was about 9 months old.

Welp, boring again, I know but that's what's going on with us. OH...I watched the season finale of Grey's Anatomy last night at the nail salon. I heard that this is the last season...anyone else heard that??? BUT, ironically, that is the ONLY episode that I have ever watched. I want to watch from the beginning so I am looking for anyone who has the first seasons on DVD. I can just rent it but would like to borrow if anyone close has it?????

greys anatomy

Oh, one more thing...Rachel played in the sprinkler today for the first time. You can tell how chunky someone really is when they are in a swimsuit...the main reason why I don't like to wear mine!! ha!! She had fun!

Friends...Forever!

What is a friend?  Webster defines a friend as: a person whom one knows, likes, and trusts. It goes on to talk about a friend being a supporter.  I would have the tendency to assume that everyone has at least one friend...maybe not a best friend or perhaps maybe not even a close friend but someone that they can call a friend.  I know that difference personality types lend themselves for more friends than others.  I am a sanguine which means that I have a lot of people that I consider to be my friend.  I have always been the type of person that needs and wants friends...people around me who love me, encourage me, and support me.  On the flip side of this, I have always had a hard time trusting people so I tend to be skeptical of people.  Unfortunately, a friend described me pretty accurately this morning.  She said that I (and she is the same way) have the tendency to dislike people until I have a reason to like them.  No, not proud of it...but I am just skeptical.  I have been hurt

Replace My Complaining Attitude

If you know anything about me, you know that I am blunt.  I am straight-forward, to the point, and to a fault, honest.  This is something that I have often wanted to change about myself.  Let's face it, there are things about each one of us that we would change, and let me be clear, there are MANY other things I would change but becoming more gentle has always been something I have longed for. I have had people tell me that I should be proud of this.  They wish they could be more assertive like me.  I guess there are good points to this type of characteristic but more times than not, I find myself getting into trouble because of it.   Piggy-backing on that character istic  flaw is the fact that I am a complainer.  I would rather whisper that but again, if you know me, you probably didn't fall in the floor in disbelief that I just typed that.  It is hard to admit.  It is hard to tell a world (okay a few people) that read this that I complain.  How off-putting is that?  I g

FUN STUFF!!

We have had a fun couple of days! I worked on July 4th and Rachel and Daddy stayed home doing nothing...I think they enjoyed it! Saturday was pretty uneventful.....we went to Target and bought some containers so that I could put all of my clothes away that are TOO BIG!!! YAY!! It was also a sneaky way to allow my husband to see that I really don't have too many clothes!!! None of them fit! =) Sunday was church and we came back here and relaxed all day. Here is a picture of Rachel from Sunday. Rachel's dress was adorable....went to her ankles.... Brice had yesterday off too so we all went to Hawaiian Falls waterpark in Mansfield for a little water fun after Rachel's nap. It was a lot of fun except for the part where I fell down the stairs leading into the lazy river and in an attempt to keep my child's head above water (I was holding her), I tumbled down about 4 stairs, twisted my ankle, hit my knee, and scraped up the side of my leg all while swallowing a lot of water.
