trying

I am doing my best and trying to continue to update my blog as much as possible but I have seem to run out of stuff to write about. How boring is that! My life is the same old same old each day and I am NOT a fan of posting gripes and complaints about all the hectiness (if that is a word) of our lives. So, if I still have some readers out there, let me know that you are there and I will keep on trying to find something to post about.......if not, than you would not be reading this anyway!

Happy VALENTINE'S DAY

One day early, I know but I do not think I will get a chance to post tomorrow so......
I hope everyone of my readers and friends out there have a wonderful day tomorrow filled with loved ones, candy, good food, and smiles. That is how I plan on spending my day........

Push me higher

Love the weather! The kids and I have spent a lot of time outside enjoying it. Scooters, playhouse, sandbox, and swings. What is it with swings? Kids LOVE them! Push me higher are the three words I have heard more than any other today.......
could the day get any better:):):)

88

What is that number you might ask? It is the number of valentines we had to complete for the four classes in our house. Whew!! i guess it will I was lucky Parker has only 12 in his class......

Recharged and ready for action

I just got home late last night from a 4 day getaway with my wonderful husband. He was in Las Vegas for World of Concrete and flew me out to join him for the weekend. There are no words to describe how perfect the weekend was. Timing could not have been any better, the room magnificent, food mouth watering........even my flight out was awesome. We got bumped off our flight for no reason so to make it up to us, they put me back on the flight and in FIRST CLASS no less. Four days of adult conversation and real meals with no high chairs and kid menus, sleeping in and waking to a quiet and peaceful room NOT MOMMY MOMMY MOMMY......
Even the rain on Saturday, did not damper our mood. We used it as an excuse to nap. So while everyone here in Richmond (the fab four stayed in Amelia with the grandparents ) was enjoying the beautiful spring like weather, I was snuggled up in a gorgeous room with the love of my life napping. Seems to me, everyone had a good time.
So thank you Chad for bringing me along and thank you to everyone here in RIchmond who made it possible for me to go. I needed it and am a better mom because of it!

Day Off

Mommy needs a day off......I do not think I have been away from all four kids since before Christmas with holidays and Disney and sickness SO, mommy needs a day off. One is coming soon though!

Lists

If any of you read my 25 things on facebook you would see my comment about lists and making them. I do not think you could really understand my passion for lists. I LOVE writing them. My next favorite thing to do is cross things off. Sometimes, I even ut things on the list that I hve already done or have to do, just so I can cross them off.
Taking a shower, for instance...on the list.....
eating breakfast.....on the list.....
making a list of what I need to do...you guessed it...on the list
Anyway, all this goes back to last night. I had to get out of bed at 11:30 pm just to make my list for this morning. I could not go to sleep until my list had been drawn up. My mom even bought me a pad of paper with the seven days on it with room under each day for your daily lists. YEAH. It still amazes me how good and content I feel, after making my list, then of course crossing things off.
But now I can cross something else off, UPDATE MY BLOG!!!
CHECK!
