8 things that drive me crazy

I was tagged by my friend, Julie, to post 8 things that drive me crazy. This was started by my other friend, Shannon (her blog title is eightcrazy).

I'm going to do mine David Letterman style, leaving you in suspense to my #1.

8. Laundry. It's never ever ever ever done. enough said.

7. boogery noses. my little peanut has a crusty one right now, but he FREAKS out when I try to clean it.

6. nasty ears...a huge pet peave. i happened to be blessed with the 2 dirtiest ear-ed kids on the planet. I seriously use 2-4 qtips PER DAY PER KID. sicko.

5. no matching socks (see #8)

4. Not having a cup holder on my stroller. leads to many spilled beverages when I try to balance them in the canopy/cover thing.

3. Finding an amazing sale, and having all the products be sold out! I get so excited to use my coupons, and then have the let down when it's gone. (also finding a great clothing item on clearance, only to find NONE of the size I need.)

2. People I love hurting...physically, emotionally, spiritully. WAY to much of this in life right now.

1. THE NUMBER ONE THING ON MY LIST IS......taking my kids grocery shopping!! Without a doubt the most miserable experience know to man(woman)kind. OK, that's an exaggeration (see #2...much worse). HOwever, it takes twice as long, with 9 trips to the potty, numerous items grabbed from shelves, whining, crying...misery. I had such trip yesterday. H wet his pants...J was fusssy...a non fun time had by all.


I also love what Julie did, and posted some things she's loving right now.

Here's mine:

1. My new bible! The Message/TNIV parallel bible in a cute brown and blue. Makes my quite times more applicable and I just want to read from my cute new bible!

2. Curves cereal/chewy granola bars. Lots of fiber low calories and TASTY.

3. Having my stroller with it's fixed tires! ( they were flat...can you tell I use my stroller alot!)

4. Bought new jeans...a size smaller than I usually do! Yay! It may have been a freak thing that they fit...but, I'll take it!

5. My new living room color! I'm going to post pics soon, but it's called "Eucalyptus" and it's pretty!

6. My kids playing together and making each other laugh(the good belly laughs!)

7. Eating (at least trying) healthy. I feel good about myself when I know I did a good job.

8. My family. My parents, and my brother and SIL (and soon to be baby)...and my cousins. I feel really happy about where things are right now. We're just enjoying eachothers company and I love that.

9. My new laundry room! YAY!!! It's done, and so nice! Going from garage floor to a fancy laudry room is AWESOME.

10. Last but not least, my amazing husband. I like him. ALOT. He's fun, smart, sweet, kind, giving, sensitive, and a stinking hard worker. (LOVE YOU HUSBAND!)

Mom My Ride

Ever since I knew I was preggers with my 2nd little peanut, I starting thinking about "THE MINIVAN". Suddenly, they became more and more appealing to me....those double sliding doors, the plethera of cupholders...seating for 7. This was all to husband's dismay...he had proudly declared for years "We will NEVER have a minivan". I told him, he'd one day have to eat those words...and this summer it came true. It was time to rethink the car situation, and of course we were after the most practical car we could get...and we ended up with a 2003 Chrysler Town and Country. I like it alot, and Mr. H says " I like our van. It's my favorite!" (although, right now he has LOTS of favorites). I got a kick out of this youtube video! It's so true of me...including the golf balls rolling around! Thank you mom.



thanks Jennifer P for the video!

Please Pray for this couple (and baby)

hey all, my friend Julie posted a blog about this couple, Nate and Tricia. Tricia has Cystic Fibrosis and is pregnant. That equals COMPLICATIONS. They are neat Christians, with amazing faith. Please check out Nate's blog and pray for them. They are in a critical time for Tricia and the expected baby girl's life.

Feelin' kinda blue

hi friends. I found out today that an old friend and one of Matt's former small group leaders from high school days, passed away (Jason G.)this week. Some other friends are struggling with a son battling leukemia (Luke)and sickness in the family. Another gal pal of mine is struggling to recover from a major surgery (and she's pregnant, and her dad just passed away).

I'm feeling heavy hearted about the people I love going through some hard times. My mind has been on them all alot today. It's all heavy stuff, and sometimes you just feel kind of helpless in it. When people I love hurt, I want to do something about it...thes are all hard situations to do that. I'm talking alot to the Lord about it. That's it.

Let the Deception Begin!

I've had the cookbook Deceptively Delicious by Jessica Seinfeld on my wish list since before my bday in October! A few of you faithful blog readers/lurkers have even picked it up on my suggestion, and others have discovered it for yourself. Anyhow, My sweet mom picked up a copy of it for me today!! I'm so excited to start sneaking veggies in my kids meals! Especially Jackeroo, he's a picky thing!

I think I'll make Sweet Potato Pancakes for breakfast! I already have some pureed in my freezer. I really can't wait to try the Blueberry bars that are loaded with spinach...I hear they are delicious! Thanks Mom!

Oh, and I WILL post my pics of my craft to my blog next week. I still have a few gifts to give to friends this week, and I don't want to wreck the surprise!
