Irritated

I am just not in a good mood. There, I said it. I am just plain grumpy. I feel like I need some time to myself. I am getting these couple of minutes but I am pumping and listening to my baby scream and my two year old whine in the other room. That is not a break. When I leave the kids with Brice it is usually to work or to do something for someone else. I am just grumpy...bad mood all the way around. I have so much to be thankful for and I am, but I am human and today....I just am in a foul mood!! I am also tired but tomorrow is Monday....again! Sometimes I think being a stay-at-home mom is harder than working away from home....and doing both is certainly no walk in the park. It is hard work, people. For those of you with the misconception that staying at home is just fluff work because "all you do" is watch the kids are mistaken! Somehow we still find time to do the grocery shopping, clean the house, do the dishes and the laundry, feed our kids and maybe, if we have time, feed ourselves. Okay, enough griping but like I said....I AM GRUMPY!!!!!

I totally feel you. That is how I have felt for the past few weeks... just in a stinky mood. I'm hoping to start this week off better! :) I'll be praying for you :)

I am glad that I am not the only one feeling this way. I have been grumpy for a few days now and to make it worse, my husband is going to the Bahamas for 4 days next week (for work) and I don't get to go. He says it is work, however he has one full day and every evening to himself. I could handle sitting on the beach alone just listening to the waves. Couldn't you?? Sorry for the long post, but I too am grumpy!!!

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.
