Baby

Well we have a new baby in the family. My sister had her daughter on Monday at 3:02 am.

Emily May was 7 lbs, 3 oz and was 18 1/2 inches long. She is so cute. I didn't want to stop holding her.

The worst part of holding her is the yearning that I have now to have one of my own. D and I have been trying for 3 months but no luck thus far. It's been disappointing to me, but I know D's heart wasn't in it, even though he said he was okay with it.

We did talk though on Monday night after the boys got to spend some time with Emily. They got to hold her and love her. They also think it's okay to have a baby sister or brother now too. They were okay with it before but now they know what a baby is like so they are on board with us.

I just pray that I am able to get pregnant again soon and my friend can also.

So much to do, so little time

It seems that I have so much to do and so little time to do it in anymore.

Being close to family has his high points, like being able to spend time with my niece when she gets here, but it also has it's downfalls, I have days when I don't get a lot done. For instance, today I got next to nothing done. I blame it partly on D since he was off. I did however get my hair cut today. so that is good. It's something I've been wanting to do for weeks/months. Just ask my sister and D they'll tell you.

Other than that, the only other thing I got done was towels hung. I did, however, completely forget to take them down, thank goodness D didn't.

My list is huge for the next couple of days. I have so much to do and so little time to do it in, but hey, I'll just have a new list after that one is done anyway, right?

Yeah, I did it

I decided I need to spend more time with the boys helping them with stuff, so I decided not to be online as much so I have more time for them while still getting my work around the house done.

This morning we had clean up time. L decided to dump a bunch of puzzles and stuff yesterday and we didn't clean them up last night so we did it this morning. We had fun doing it and while it's not completely done, a good chunk of it is done. We also spent some time going over our "homework" from Miss Jackie, B's speech teacher. B did so well and L really tried. I'm so proud of both of them.

I did just realize that I never did shower this morning. Oooops. I guess I should do that soon. I got so involved in the boys that I forgot I stunk. hehehehe.

Here we go again

It's been a while since I blogged again. Seems the days just go so fast and I don't get a moment to stop and blog.

Last week D was on vacation so we were busy either here or at my parents house. Monday my dad and D dug holes so we could move our fence about 6 feet. It was rainy and cold outside. Tuesday we were at mom and dad's house helping to remove a shower and putting a new one in. Wednesday we moved most of the fence. We had to cement in the last post so we couldn't finish it. Thursday we finished the fence. Friday we cleaned out the garage. We managed to clean it completely out and find enough room in it to park a car. The other side is cleaned but has the stuff for yard sale in it, so we'll have to have a yard sale before we can put the other car in. Now we just need a garage door opener. Getting in and out of the car to open and close the door is getting tiring already. Saturday we returned extra fencing things to Lowe's and enjoyed a nice quiet Saturday at home. Sunday we had my in laws over for supper. That was a bit stressful because I had forgot that I needed to make something for B for his "birthday celebration" at school. Since he's got a summer birthday, he got to celebrate it today. Then I had to clean, thankfully D did a lot of the cleaning for me. We also had to decide what to have for dinner. I'm always so nervous about cooking for D's family because they eat such good food all the time and I don't think I can cook as well even though I do love to cook.

B's got one more day of school left. It's hard to believe that he'll be 5 in August. Seems like only yesterday I was pregnant with him. L will be 3 in August too. So hard to believe my babies are growing up. B will be attending preschool again next year. He's not ready to attend Kindergarten yet. So he'll go M, W, F ams and L will go T, Th ams. I can't wait to have some quiet time each day with just one of them. They are such different children when they are alone. I am hoping to work with B this summer on his writing and cutting and maybe evening coloring.

Wow, really?

It's really been over a month since I last blogged? Really? Wow, I must have been awfully busy to not blog.

I have been busy but not that busy.

I spent time planning my sister's baby shower. She is due in less than a month and last Sunday we had her shower. I think it went well and I'm so happy that soon I'll get to hold my new niece.

I can't wait. Of course my sister is ready for it to all be over too. She started getting some false labor pains the other day. We thought maybe we'd have a baby sooner than anticiapted but no such luck.

Hmmm, what else have I been doing? Not much. Spending a lot of time on Cafemom.com like usual.

Today I got most of my garden planted. I still have to do the corn and the rest of the pumpkins and my herbs, but everything else is in, I think. Here is what we are doing this year, tomatoes (which I need to get more of), peppers, lettuce, carrots, peas, two different kinds of zucchini, onions, straightneck summer squash, pickling cucumbers and I think there is something else just don't remember what. I also put in 24 strawberry plants.

I have a huge garden this year compared to last year. I'm so excited. I am hoping to get to Kmart later this week to see what other veggies I can get and maybe even Lowe's too. I love to garden and can't wait for everything to start growing.

Now I have to decide where I am putting my 6 other lilac bushes. I think I may have bought too many but I got an incredible deal and I know we have room for them, it's just the matter of digging the grass up to put them there.
