Busy, but having fun!

Most everyone all ready knows what we have been up to lately, but for those that don't, here goes. 2 surgeries for me in 6 months! I so hope I am done for a long, long time. Kayla turned 10 on April 2nd. Holy cow, that was a harsh step back into reality! With summer rapidly approaching, I decided to give up all of my "extra" babies. The last surgery really kicked my butt! I am just too tired to keep up with my kids, housework, extra kids, and working at night! I will go into work a bit earlier some days, but I will be able to sleep in until 8 a.m., and spend time with my kids this summer. I can't wait! Sometimes I feel like other peoples kids get the attention from me that mine deserve and miss out on! Well, no more. I get to have fun with my kids this summer! I do believe we will spend most of our summer doing crafts and lounging in the pool! Yay! We actually have 2 dogs now. Amazing, right?! We found a puppy for Kayla. She got him on her birthday. He came from the litter that our dog sired! He is really cute, but a bit of a pill! I don't know what came over me! Must be the Hot Flashes! I blame alot of things on hot flashes. Well, the puppy is barking, baby is crying, and Gabriel wants me to jump on the trampoline with him! Guess I have said all I am going to for now! :)

I'm going Crazy, why don't you come along?!

I am so very insane this week! For those of you who don't know, I had surgery on March 23rd tp have scar tissue and what not removed. Feeling ok at this point in time! Kayla's birthday is coming up fast! Trying to plan a birthday party while recovering from surgery! Hmmmmm, can you say "sucker"? It's all good. I just sit on the couch glueing feathers on to the Mardi Gras masks for the party. So much fun. I was crazy enough to get a dog, now I am actually trying to find another. Kayla needs a fun little dog, and Gizmo needs a fun little playmate! Wish me luck in my hunt, and if you can find me a dog, let me know! So, that is about all that is happening here. I think we are all getting spring fever, and so ready for summer. Homework is not as much fun anymore! Well, I think I will go and try to find my happy place now! Love ya all, and have a good day!

computer junkie

So, here I am at 1:06 in the a.m. playing on Facebook and blogging! I think I have turned into a bit of a computer junkie. I find it all very entertaining! And of course I should always be entertained!
I always ignored Facebook and such, until recently. Now I can't go to bed without checking to see how everyone is and what is happening and who sent me a drink and who hit me with a pillow and all of the other off the wall stuf that is facebook. Normally I ignore the emails and such that say "send this to 8 friends for good luck and yada yada yada. On facebook, I got into it. I can sit at my desk and feed cyber fish and what not. I am having a blast finding people that I have missed for years. I just realized that I have a 15 year class reunion coming up. I totally could have done without that knowledge. I am having a hard time reckoning that. Oh well! So, hope everyone is getting more sleep than I am, and keep me posted on your news. If you aren't all ready on Facebook, Get there!

wow, i am not keeping up

So, I am falling behind in all sorts of ways! My blog is very forlorn, I have had very little sleep, even less peace and quiet, and my house is a "tad bit messy" right now. Oh well, tomorrow is another day. Oops, all ready today. Not much out of the ordinary happening here lately. I did gain another baby. I'm tellin' ya, I inherit children. I went and had a hysterectomy and I have more children than before. It's all good. I keep thinking that when Gabriel goes to school full days next year, I will go to work full time! When I do, I will probably get on here and write about how much I miss my kids and being home. Right now I am going to bed so I can start all over again tomorrow. Which means I will have to stop blogging and playing on facebook and get to bed. Good night to you all!!!

such a slacker

I am such a slacker these days. Have you ever wondered just how the time gets away from you? I wonder every single day. Let's see what has changed and happpened since October.
1. Halloween- Kayla was Wednesday Addams and Gabriel was Batman. We ran around like crazy people from 1 party to the next and had a lot of fun!
2. Thanksgiving- It was just us this year. We ate too much really good food and decorated the house for Christmas. It was great to just lounge. The day after Thanksgiving found me out shopping at Walmart for the "big deals". That was a blast!
3. Christmas- Grandma and Grandpa Stubbs came to visit this year. The kids of course had a blast on Christmas morning. The big gift this year was a trampoline for the back yard. That was my big find the day after Thanksgiving! We have been on the trampoline every day since!
4. December 26th- Jacob turned 37!!!!! It was fairly low key this year! Ice cream cake, singing, and gifts. It was us and grandma and grandpa.
5. New years- new years eve was just us at home. We cooked fabulous food and hung out. Gabriel crashed 15 minutes before midnight! New years day we went sledding in Pine Valley. Had a blast, but very sore today! I think we are either too old or too out of shape for sledding!
I hope you are all well and have had a great Holiday season! One of my Resolutions this year is to be a better blogger and keep in better touch with my friends and family! Hold me to it!
