a busy week

All is well here, just the past week has been busy. Our washer died and right now we don't have the money to buy a new. Trying to think of a way to make it work, thinking about trips to the laundrymat for 6 people just wasn't something I wanted to do.
Robert made it work he provided for our family. We have been trying to get out of credit card debit not using the credit cards, we have been trying to pay them off, we had to use a credit card and its OK we have clean cloths, no long hours at the laundrymat.
Our first night with the washer was great, the washer is nice and quiet, used less water, but not our first night. We woke up to our laundry room floor with water, the tubing to the water outlets not tighten.  Robert mopping up the floor at 6am, good times.
Saturday was a busy day, not really for me, but for Robert and our wonderful friend Shane, they did 2 days worth of work in one laying flooring in our living and dinning room. My floors are so pretty. Thank you both so much.
I know I shouldn't love inanimate objects but I love my new washer and my new floor.  It's just nice to have cleaner fresher smelling clothes, and walking it to my home tonight was so great the living smelled better noting having 30 year old carpet.
My husband did so much work this past week and all while being sick with bronchitis, you're the best always taking care of your family. I love you, we love you!!!!

Mid February

This past week was very nice. Sunday, warm weather walk at the park, the kiddos playing out side. Monday, Valentines day.  Wednesday, Emma and I had a dentist appointment, it was really nice to spend a couple of hours with her all by ourselves. Emma is growing up so fast, such a big girl in the chair having her teeth cleaned. When the dentist came in to take a look at her teeth,  Emma told him she was going to be a dentist when she grows up, the dentist told that's great, you can work here, Emma said I'll have to paint the walls first. (before the dentist came Emma and I where talking and she has said the room needed more color.) All the other days not too stressful, the kids playing well together, work going good, every one's health good. Saturday home with the kids raking leaves feeling so out of shape, Peyton being such a BIG help with the yard work, I love having a big yard for our kids to play in and be safe in its a great feeling.

Valentine's Day

Robert's face book post to me: Happy Valentine's Day, my love!!! I am so thankful for the times we've had, good and bad, and for those yet to come. Thank you, God for bringing me my soul mate and best friend. See you when you get home!!!!!I love you!!! That's why I LOVE him, he is my favorite!!!

My Valentine made a wonderful dinner for our family, Daddy's famous Chocolate Pancake with Cinnamon Whipping Cream (the kids don't know this is a Paula Dean recipe)  YUMMY, YUMMY, YUMMY!!!! My wonderful husband woo me with his cooking skills and I love when he cooks and I just get to enjoy.

what the kids woke up to this morning

Emma trying to make a heart with her hands

No Valentine's day picture of bubba (Hayden) he's the late sleeper and needs his morning Dino Dan before he will smile.

Emma had a great day her first Valentine's day party at school and no boys looked into her eyes, mommy and daddy where so happy to hear this news. 

Struggling...

with happiness, joyfulness, smiling, being positive, glass half full,  enjoying life, all the blessing.

Struggling with negativity, negative thoughts, negative talk, negative attitude, can't get out of this hole.

Struggling with stress, finances, monthly budget, child care or lack of, home repairs, dog maintenance, health.

Struggling with being a good person, wife, mother, friend, employee.

Struggling with not having faith....
