Bad day

Having a bad day today.

The kind of day that you question if your capable of raising children.

Seriously, I am not sure I can do this.

Ps: Mom: I am so sorry for all the things I said and did as a teenager. To think I could have ever made you feel as bad as I do right now makes me feel terrible.

The Kid's rooms III

This is Mikale's room. 5 1/2 years ago when we moved he wanted a "Jungle Room". The top part is blue (Sky), the bottom part is green bush like. You can't really see it, but in between is a jungle border that is very cute. Mikale has wanted to re-paint is room for the last year or so. He wants to paint it Camouflage. We will probably try to re-paint it. Mikale does a pretty good job at keeping his room clean, so it wasn't too hard to get ready. Mikale is NOT a collector, sometimes I have to encourage him to keep things.

The Kid's rooms II

Here is Megan's Room. This was the easiest room. Megan does a great job keeping her room clean and organized. A few years ago she took all her toys out of her room and gave them to Mikkena (toy horses, barn, stuffed animals.. etc.)

The Kid's rooms

Here are 2 different views of Mikkena's Room. This was the most difficult room to get ready.

Can we say :Too many little toys?

Polly Pockets, Little Pet Shop Animals........and so on. Mikkena is a collector and doesn't like to throw anything away. I just packed tons of stuff into boxes, and put them in the closet.

House Cleaner

I have been cleaning, organizing and so on for the last 2 weeks. Getting the house picture perfect. The idea of someone coming to take pictures to post on the Internet just freaks me out! Just what every women wants- photos of their homemaking skills posted for the world to see. Well I am done- the Realtor came- photos were taken. Thank Goodness!! I think my children were about to have me committed. So how tacky would it be to post photos of my EXTREMLY clean house on my blog? I am not sure I can ever get it this clean ever again!! Someone come buy my house!

To do list

Mowing the grass one last time was on Tim's to do list today. Here he is! The kids were mad because he is recking the snow.

Here is a link to a funny card. Once it gets you to the cartoon office then click on play. I hope this works!

I would be fired!!

If blogging were my job I would be fired!!!! As soon as life throws me a twist my blog writing shuts down. I want to blog, but my words just don't come out right and I am afraid I will say something stupid.

Anyway here is the update for the last 2 1/2 weeks (stupid or not):

*we have been looking at houses-kinda fun but this takes a long time

*we have been trying to clean and organize the house-Not fun! and this takes a long time.

*Tim was out of town the week that we had Realtors come out- A little weird to have strangers coming through the house without him here.

* My little 3 pound Yorkie died. - she was only a year and a half years old- Tim was out of town.- We all took it very hard.

*My brother ,Scott, and his wife ,Jen, came from Alaska for a visit.- Was nice, but I was very sick the day they came.

* I have been to the Dr. 3 times to figure out my stomach pain. So far nothing is wrong. Which is good, but it doesn't stop the pain. Doctor now wants to shove a camera down my throat. I think I will try something else first!!!! Yikes!!!

* Mikkena had her 6th Birthday! She is bugging me to plan a "friend" party and I can't seem to pull that together.

*A teenage cousin on my Dad's side of the family committed suicide. The funeral was very sad.

*One of Megan's dogs had a litter of puppies.

*Megan and I spent last week-end at a Dog show in Bloomington.

*The house is now listed and the sign should go up in the yard any day now. The idea of getting it "show" ready freaks me out. We have a long list of projects that should get done. Normally a list of projects gets me going. However, right now it seems to be making me want to crawl into bed. (I use sleep as an escape, Hey at least its legal!!).

Well, I guess that's about it. Please don't fire me. I will (with God's grace) pull it together and be a better blog friend!
