I am hilarious. Why did I even think that I would blog on the daily?? I give professional bloggers a lot of credit for doing so. 5 months has gone by since the last time I did. Good grief.
Wonder what has happened in the last 5 months?? Me and the littles - all 3 of them - went to Florida. I drove us all down there. Yes, drove, in the Cobalt. We made it there and back, safe and sound. Praise the Lord for that! And praise Him for ipads, mobile DVD players and cell phones. Those items are also double edged swords. Good and evil really.
On our way to Port Charlotte, Florida, we stopped in Sweetwater, Tennessee. Aunt Chris and Uncle Ron live there and let us stay in their lovely, "B&B". I was so thankful to them for that rest, belly fill and a shower. We stopped there on the way down and the way up. Hallelujah!
The kids are out of school. Skyler has taken on a Nanny position. Caleb graduated. We had Cozzy and fam here from Texas and Miguel and fam.
We got new furniture, Peach got declawed. Jesse painted the living room. It's been busy.
I had good intentions of making this a long post but work comes first. JOY!

1.20.14
It was like a movie going weekend. I took the boys on Saturday to see The Nut Job. It was cute. I had to force Rylee to come with us. Then he said the movie was better than he thought it was going to be and almost cried at the end. Ha! I tell ya, I have to force that kid to leave the house sometimes.
On Sunday I went to church by myself. I was a little disappointed when Jesse text and said they were just getting up and not coming but what can I do. When I got home I was on a cleaning frenzy and got a lot done and felt really good about it. Even made eggs instead of going out to eat. Rylee always appreciates when I cook him an egg and tells me thank you.
The boys were arguing a lot on Friday night. I was laying in bed under covers because I was freezing cold and I heard them yelling and screaming. I mean really loud. Jesse crying and Rylee yelling at him to stop and they weren't going to play anymore, etc. I didn't know what I should do, get up and punish them or what so I decided (out of laziness for the most part) to let them resolve the matter on their own. Rylee came in my room a couple times making faces and pulling his hair. I kept telling him to ignore Jesse and he would stop. The yelling continued and then I heard Rylee ask Jesse if he wanted a popsicle. Then Jess started to quiet down a little. Then it got quiet. I figured that Jesse agreed and they were eating the popsicles. Then about 5 minutes later I heard Rylee tell Jesse that he loved him and then Jesse said I love you too but I want to play video games!! Ha ha! They are funny.
I took the boys to CFA before the movie on Saturday. After we ate I took Jesse in the play area to let him play a bit. He was acting strange and not wanting to go on the slide and up top. I think it was because there were 3 other little boys in there and they were talking in a different language. I think Jesse was apprehensive about it. It was interesting to see. I didn't know how I felt about that. I was glad he was being cautious about it but then I don't want him to be afraid of someone that is different. He wasn't rude or mean, just decided to steer clear. Guess I am happy with that reaction.
Sunday after the day of cleaning, Jesse and I went to eat at Bob "Heavens" as he calls it. Ha! Rylee and Jesse are getting into the Infinity game I bought Rylee for the 360 so that keeps them occupied and civil for the most part. After dinner and a trip home to check on everyone, we left again and went to see HER. What a strange but interesting movie. We liked it!

I'm bad. Told myself that I was going to post everyday. I haven't even wrote in my live, actual journal. Can't tell you when the last time I did?
I'm feeling strange these days. A little anxious, impatient, my mind is going in 50 different directions. I want things to happen NOW. I feel restless. I want to pull up the carpet in our house and get some kind of flooring laid. But I know I don't have the money right now and need to wait. And if we pull up the carpet now but wait, it will be an ugly mess I'm sure. And it's been really cold. I'm sure the carpet helps keep the rooms a bit warmer.
I've been crazy busy at work but that's a good thing. I love being productive at work and having things to do. I love helping people or figuring a solution to a problem out. But today I'm having troubles focusing, like I said, mind going in all different directions.
STRENGTH is my word for 2014 which I think I've already posted about that. So far so good I would say. I'm not going to totally beat myself up today. There's definitely room for improvement but it is the 1st month of 2014 so I have time.
Brought my clothes to workout this week but haven't yet. Not entirely my fault when the husband wants to go to lunch (how can I refuse?!) and I am hungry. And when my workout buddy has to run errands. It is what it is.
This morning I was running late, didn't feel that great and just ready to crawl back in bed but I thought about my word (STRENGTH) and forced myself to get up. Then on the way to daycare, I hear Jesse in the backseat in the softest most precious voice say "Thank you Jesus". It was music to my ears. I asked him what he said and he repeated himself and then we said our prayer together and my whole attitude shifted. I learn from that little boy a lot!
Jesse got called into work last night - trip to Cleveland so he probably won't be home until tomorrow morning. I'm thinking I am going to take the boys to see Nut Job tonight. I know Jess really wants to see it, not sure about Rylee?
Ila Mae gave me Jesus Calling last Sunday at church. It's a book with devotions for every day of the year. I love it. I just finished today's.
I want to get things organized. I want simplicity in my home. I want to have nothing but beautiful things or useful items. I have so many plans during the day and then I go home and my motivation doesn't follow. Whyyyy???
And right now, I have this desire to go shopping on my lunch hour. I know this is a bad idea but I really want to go. I haven't been shopping for myself in a while. Even if I just window shop. I feel like I need to be creative whether changing up my house or my style but most likely it should be my way of thinking.

Recap of weekend - Snowpacolypse of 2014
I was off Friday, the weekend and then again on Monday and Tuesday! Talk about a crazy weekend!
I know I posted on Monday but wasn't able to add pictures. Not sure how to add pictures from my phone? I'm stupid I know.
Sunday we got a butt load of snow and were put on a Level 3 at 5:30 PM. Jesse and I decided to go out at 5:15. Not too bright but the man loves to drive in the snow and thinks it is so beautiful! Ha!
We drove to Bob's and they were closed, we drove to Chipotle and they were closed. He was shocked but I wasn't. People take the Level 3 very seriously and I do too!
So here's a picture from Sunday and was Jess's first time out in the snow like that. We had a snowball fight and made angels but didn't make a snowman :( I'm hoping we can do that in the next couple days if the temperature rises. We hit -15! Felt like -45 but I didn't go outside!
I LOVE the picture of Jesse and the look on his face! I wish I could enjoy the snow as much as him but it was really pretty everything covered with the fresh snow and not so bad on the road if you are the only one out. We did make it to Kroger and the store was pretty empty. There wasn't 1 gallon of milk on the shelf but we were able to get other things.
We did a lot of eating, sleeping, reading and playing on the ipads. Cozzy gave Jesse an ipad mini for Christmas so now we have 2. I am reading Anna Karenina and did read The Giving Tree to Jesse yesterday. Skyler isn't feeling good so she's been in bed for the last 2 days. Peach is being Peach and just lounging around. It was nice to be stuck in the house for 3 days.

Good intentions
Well it's Monday, Jan 6 and I missed writing on Sat and Sun. Boo!! I didn't work today due to all the snow we got yesterday and last night. We were at a Level 3 from 5:30 PM to 2:00 PM today. It is -12 outside right now!
We stayed in majority of the weekend. Didn't make it to church on Sunday either. Jesse called around 9 and thought he might need me to pick him up. Thankfully he found someone at the station to help him. I still needed to be on standby so we stayed home. LaScola was closed due to the weather so luckily Skyler didn't have to work!!
We went outside to play for a bit on Sunday. I can't post a picture from my phone yet but will tomorrow.
Spartan was awesome and gave us the day off today. We actually can be off tomorrow too but I have to go in.
Right now Jesse is watching The Bachelor and I'm reading Anna Karenina and doing laundry. It's so cold out!!

Today I didn't work. I'm not going to elaborate on that. Just how it is.
I didn't get out of bed until 12! Bless my husband and his thoughtfulness!!
When I finally got up I started cleaning and got Christmas stuff down, the tree moved and fun stuff like that. After all that, we went to eat at Bob's (surprise surprise). Rylee went too which was nice because he's such a homebody and doesn't like to go anywhere. He is at the church Lock In right now though so that's good
We dropped him off and dropped Skyler off at the basketball game and came home and watched two episodes of Orange is the New Black which we started watching the series last night. Netflix is pretty sweet! Who needs cable any longer?!
Right now we're taking a break and Jesse is giving Jess a bath as I enter this. My gosh I am so blessed with this man!! I need to start taking better care of him!

Woke up to a bunch more snow! Made it to work safely and early! Go me!
Decided that I am going to start a memory jar. Decided I am going to keep an online journal too. Hopefully post everyday.
Still praying/debating on my word for 2014. I think it is strength though, I really do.
Been busy at work today with a PowerPoint for David. Glad to be busy though, makes the time go by faster.
My lovely husband picked me up at lunch and we went to Star Diner to eat. Food was good and I thought it wouldn't be busy due to the weather but it was. Guess people had the same idea as we did. Of course Jesse was using the emergency brake to do doughnuts and such in the parking lot and on the road. Crazy man! There was an accident on the way back on Ford. Didn't look too bad but they were getting the stretcher out. I saw a woman in the drivers seat with a brace around her neck so maybe some trauma? Praying for her.
Thought about going sledding tonight when I got off but it will be too dark. Boo. Jesse said he might take the kids tomorrow. I guess we are supposed to get more of this. I'm not coming into work if we get a level 3, no way. Daycare closes and roads will be bad. They are already bad if you ask me.
I'm thinking about applying at TSA for Rylee. Here is the website in case I forget - www.ts4arts.org
Need to talk to him about it.
