Our Busy Saturday!

Well, first thing this morning, I had my MRI on my brain...I am talking, 8:00 am!! Yes, it was early but I was glad to get it out of the way...it's done. Results...later. Oh, and if you have never had an MRI...yeah, it sounds like a jack hammer...not good if the reason you are getting the MRI is headaches! Hmm...

Then, off to Dora, Live! we went!! Me, Brice, Rachel, Krista and Chelsea. It was super fun! The girls really enjoyed themselves even though we were in the nosebleed section...really, I wasn't going to spend a bunch of money on something that I wasn't sure my child would even sit through...she did and that means that we might try other venues of the sort...she really liked it. I will post pictures later.

Then, she left. Yep, went with Brice's parents to Arkansas. My heart is a little sad. However, somewhere deep inside myself I can't help but feel like a bad parent because I am looking forward to the week where some projects can get done and I can have some one-on-one time with my itty bitty one (although not quite so itty bitty)! I love my Rachel so so much and I love spending time with her but she is hard sometimes. Brice reassured me this morning that letting her go with the grandparents makes me a good parent not a bad one but OH, will I miss her soooo!!!!

Tonight, work. Yep, that's right. Work. The emergency room kind. Until midnight...an unscheduled day of work, might I add. I was asked to work and I said, ok..for part of the PM shift...until 12:30. Tomorrow staying awake during church might be a little tough....

This next week should be fun..lots of fun things planned and I am really hoping to get started on Lauren's scrapbook. Those of you that know me, know how much I ADORE scrapbooking...well, get this...I haven't even started Lauren's scrapbook!!! Isn't that awful. I got 5 new Cricut cartridges for Christmas and haven't even used them yet. I have so many fun things to use and just haven't found the time between my two kiddos and everything else I have going on. That's on the agenda for the week.

Well, gotta get busy!

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.
