March 13th.....Sunshine

The weekend has been a good one. Saturday I woke up to nothing but sunshine. I love the Sun, and I love being outside. Brooklyn and I spent a big part of our day working in the yard and cleaning out the van. We got tons done, but that was not enough. We talked Sam and the boys and a few friends to go for a walk at the river. What a beautiful day!
The river is very full right now. Which I think is kinda scary. I have never been a fan of water. I hate water skiing, flying over water, the ocean, or any kind of boat ride. I will never go on a cruise, no way no how! The sad thing is I know how to swim and I hate water this bad.
The river was very dirty and moving very fast. But that didn't seem to stop the boys who kept trying to get as close as they could. But that was not hard because the water was right by us.
After our trip to the water we headed for frozen yogurt at our new Sweet C's C's yogurt shop. The kids loved it and it was a perfect end to our successful weekend.

March 9th....Rain, Rain and more Rain.

Today is Wednesday and it just keeps on raining. I like the rain but there is one problem when it is dark and rainy out side I don't want to do anything. I just want to sleep, eat, and sleep. What do they do in Washington or Oregon when that is all it does is rain? I can't ever live there, I need sunshine.
I have been trying to get things boxed up and get the house staged. Not such and easy thing to do with a house full of kids. The boys keep getting mad at me because I am boxing up there toys. They told me they have nothing to do. Which is true for a few more weeks, but then they will be out doors and they will not care. The garage is filling up with boxes and I have rooms in my house the echo. Will it ever end?

March 6th...all I could do is laugh

Yes, I do have break downs every now and then. Thursday was one of those days. It has been a really rough week. Russ has been dealing with a lot of issues. I have been trying to help him talk through them. Sam is also being a teenager and with that comes a lot of crying. My 3 boys are being well...BOYS. I am trying to decide what to do with our house. I am trying to exercise and figure out how to loose the baby weight. With all of this I had just had one of the "God I can't do any thing else moments". A good friend happened to give me a call and she said many nice things and helped me through my moment, but I also broke down and cried. The phone conversation got over and I went about my day. A few hours later I went to Gage's speech class. When you get to the building you have to check in and get a badge. The secretary gave me a funny look and said "Honey I don't mean to embarrass you but you have makeup running all down your face. The bathroom is over there." All I could do is laugh, Gage look at me and said Mom why are you laughing? I look at the secretary and said, well now you know I have been crying all day! Then I went to the bathroom and took care of my black face. The really sad thing is between the phone call and the speech class my neighbor came over to give me some stuff to mail to Russ. I talked to her for a little while and she never said anything. But she acted very strange and keep asking me if I was OK and if there was anything she could do. Now I know why, I looked like a freak.

Spring is here

Spring has hit Indiana, so we decided to take a Sunday walk along the river. I think everyone else thought a walk was a great thing to do because the river front was packed. I am so glad we have made it to March. I love spring and all that comes with it. The green grass, the sunshine, new life, spring cleaning, I could go on and on.
