Holidays or Holidaze

Christmas break is wonderful. Kids are home, everyone is truly rested. This year we are doing exactly that, take a break. Taking a break from our early mornings and busy days and crazy evenings. We all need a break, it is good for the mind, the body and the soul.

I'm sitting here waiting for my ipod to charge so I can get my daily walk in. Hmm. It is officially Memorial Day and I'm thinking of everyone who has taken time to serve our awesome country! Thank You!!

Not sure if it is going to rain again, I hope not. We have had so much rain down here, I think God is getting around to all the prayers that were said 18mo ago when we were in a drought. " Okay God, we're good now. Thank You!!" :)

Kate is coming home from a weekend at the lake and Joe is getting ready to go. Rick is going crazy with all this time on his hands! I'm working on a couple of projects up stairs in my office and hoping to take Jack and friends to the pool later. Please come out sun.

What is it about a holiday that makes me sit and write? Well, this memorial day weekend has been rainy and yucky but it has been nice to be inside and just do nothing. Last weekend, I painted the dining room and I feel like the house is finally coming together after six years of living here. What in the world take so long to get that "homey" feeling? I found a great area rug at the Depot! 40.00 for a berber carpet 6x8 area rug. It looks great in the tv room and helps make the space comfy. Now, I'm on the hunt for a black sisal rug for the dining room. I love the British Colonial decor and sisal is such a part of that look. It is the perfect material for our busy,dirty family!

Joe and I went to Wal Mart this afternoon to stock up some things for the week. They are totally redoing our wal mart and I really don't like it! Geez! Everything is flip flopped and backwards. GRRRR!

I've been getting into my yoga once again and enjoying it. This week though, I'm making a chiropractor apt. My sister said that she feels like she's been through several boxing matches since she has had kids. I think that is a great way to describe the way I feel too! I also found a dentist for Rick and I. Now that we are 40 and almost 40, it is time to take super good care of ourselves! We have lots of fun years ahead of us with the kids and I want us to look and feel great for all of it!

Mothers Day

Hi. I'm sitting here on Sunday evening watching the sun start to come out. Geez, it has been gloomy all day! It's Mother's Day. For some reason, Mother's Day is just weird to me. I know that is strange and I can't really explain it. Anyway. It has been a good day, we all just took naps and relaxed. This is my last week of preschool and I'm excited to start the summer! The kids are all so very ready to be done!

HI! Okay. This might be temporary but maybe it won't be. haha. I am writing a little bit today. First, though, I have to eat lunch and take Ralph outside.
