"shut up brain... can't you tell I'm trying to relax"

... Breeawna just asked me for icecream ! ? ! It's not even 8:30am!
Normally the response would be after you finish your lunch.. or dinner... but not if you finish your breakfast. On top of that... they have not been finishing anything I give them anyways. The good, the bad and the yucky... it might as well ALL be Lima beans (which I happen to like)
I am also not sure about how many Bananas one small child can or should eat in a day... But Wessley can eat 3+ a day with no effect that I can tell at least. He used to eat Peanut butter sandwiches with his bananas... but I have been finding them dried up and crumpled up all over the house!!

But anyways....

I have been having a difficult time relaxing these days... My head is always swimming with thoughts or problems I need to take care of. I Love my Husband dearly and he is always willing to help out where he is needed.. But he lacks initiative.

Dishes, Laundry, Meals, Grocery shopping, the Dog"Ralphie", the Cat "Panda" ( & 3 kittens) Getting myself dressed for the day, getting the kids dressed for the day, baby proofing, potty training, boogers... Boogers...BOOGERS!!!!

These are a few things that ALWAYS keeping me going, going, going!!

I understand this is part of being a Mom... and I LOVE it (most days) but I wish that once they are in bed my head would give me a rest!! "are we late or coming up on any of our bills"? .."there is still the kids dinner (that they hardly touched) on the table that needs to be cleaned up" ... "I should really teach Heath to cook something other than Mac and Cheese or Pancakes"... "the dog is still outside"... Always thinking
It's when I think about the Non-important things that drive me crazier ( I can't think of any good ones right now)

I need a hobby... one that does not involve a hefty investment, small , sharp or eatable parts. Nothing breakable, nothing that requires hot glue, nails, cutting, or consumes too much time.
I also am not a big fan of reading large books (anything more then 50 pages)

"blogging" will give me somewhat of an outlet
*spazzmatic scream* "there is snot being rubbed EVERYWHERE" "Ewwwwwwwwwww"

I must go... my Monkey Child is so sweetly begging for more Bananas, Breezy has crayons all over the livingroom, CJ is trying to help me type and just hit his head on the keyboard... and Ralph has to go potty!!

Stay tuned *wink*

what to write... what to write!!!

All the men in the house are sick!!
Wess is just getting over a yucky couch (along w/ all the joys of boogers and fevers)
Cammeron has been off and on Hot and Boogery..
Heath... who despite all the (in my opinion) "Nasty" airborn
was up for 3 hours through last night with a fever and has
been sneezing and snotting all over the place!! "ARG"!
I keep telling Breezy that I am sorry.. but her turn will prob
be coming up soon!
Well... then there is me. If I sit quite for too long I hear the faint ringing
in my head.. and my shoulders and eyelids feel heavy! I am trying to
keep to together... cause Heath can't miss work... and I CAN'T be sick at
home from 6-3 with 3 little ones running and drooling and snotting all over the House!

So... in light of using "The Secret" or "the Jack Rabbit" teaching...

"I am Glad for the good Health I have... I will NOT get sick!

and other then that... were all good!!
Pretty much same old..

*We did Talk with our Bishop last week... It Sounds like in about 5 months Heath will be made an Elder... and We be taking our Family to the St. George Temple!
Keep us in your prayers

The Blog that inspired me to start my own blogspot!!

At 4:35am I kissed Heath good-bye before he went to work... thinking about how hard he has been working this last week made it hard for me to go back to sleep!!

My Husband wants to give me the world. Maybe It's because I complain that I don't have it!!

I complain about the fact that we are not in a house,
driving a new car, our TV is old (not to mention we are
like the 3rd or 4th people to own it) or I have been
wanting a new couch, or to go buy some new clothes...

We don't have any of the latest greatest gadgets (from the past few years) the latest game systems (all though we have played them) are often handed down to us when they are not the coolest thing anymore......

We don't have cable or dish... just some rabbit ears (that get us about 12 stations... not in HD *wink*)

Even when it comes down to our wedding rings .. His was $10 mine was $13 (AND WE WEAR THEM ALL THE TIME) but you can't tell from looking.

I keep thinking more Money is what is going to make me happier... when in all reality I just need to find it in what I have!

I Have a Husband who adores Me and Loves being a Father. He works harder than and is smarter (he has tested a few points off of a genius level) then almost anyone I know. He let's me be a stay at home Mom... and he is not above changing a poopie diaper... sometimes right after he gets home from work he will insist on it to "give me a break" !!

He will do anything for anybody... just gotta ask!! (and then remind him a few times)

So... even though we don't have everything... The things we do have are ours.... even if they are old.. Our cars runs, our game systems are still just as much fun to play!!
And even though I thought I would NEVER live in a trailer Home... It has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a yard... Plus it's OURS... if i want to paint the wall red.. I can (but I won't)

Don't get he wrong either... I want nice things. Have you seen the Tampax comercial where they ask for an "upgrade"?? I feel like that all the time... But when it comes I think I will have a greater sence of appreciation for what I have... I already do!!

So to my husband... Don't worry about giving me everything I want... Cause right now I don't want it. I already have most of it anyways!!

So when you come home today after working 10 hours with slag burns, no AC, Filthy dirty smelling like a garage and covered in oil. (inside fighting back the frustartion that you have one of the most highest paying jobs in Cedar city and you want to cry your just so tired and sore) Go take a shower... and I will rub your sholders, back and feet!!!

I blog on myspace... sometimes..

..but not everyone gets a chance to see it!!
I got so much good feed back on my latest myspace blog that I thought I would just go ahead and go for it!!

Heath says I use "..." & "!!!" too much!
So I am apologizing now!
Enjoy!
