New me...

Starting tomorrow when Lee's alarm goes off at 630am...I'm going to roll myself out of bed and get up and moving!!!

I have been "soul searching" another way of praying for me!!! These are my answers thus far...
1. I need to read my scriptures more!
2. I need to get my house in order!
3. I need to be more mindful of the spirits guidance!!
4. If I want a new baby I need to get on and stay on the path Heavenly Father has laid before me!!!
5. I need to work on prayers...not just the bedtime ones and the ones for answers...all of them!!!!
6. I need to be a better mom and wife!!!!

These are not any order but all very important! So hears to a new me...Starting tomorrow...3/1/2011!!!

My blog...

So I have been looking at my last few posts...they are all about craziness going on or the giveaways...which in turn gets me no comments!

Ok so I understand about the giveaways...its just so I can enter to win more times so I don't care if I don't get a comment on those! However it bothers me that I didn't get any comments on my craziness. I try not to let it get to me but it does!! So here are a few new things to add to my list of things done and craziness...

1. I did my first swap meet and made a whooping 3 signs!! Which equals 30 bucks. Recouped the cost of the table rental and had some fun with my dad and sister. We are headed to Marshall next...

2. I got the Sure Cuts A Lot software for my Cricut and it has been a pain to get it to work. I finally got it to work on my desktop but I can't take that to swap meets to run the program!! So my dad bought an adapter thingy so I can go online with my HP laptop...well the darn cd drive did not work so now I guess I need to get a new laptop all together since my ACER isn't working right either!! So I get to save for that along with all the other stuff I need to save for!!!

3. The kids (really just Rachele) are on mid-winter break! So today is cleaning day for Rachele!!! Not going so good...I think she has been out in the livingroom more than she needs to be in order to get her room clean!!

4. We are trying to have another baby...when I say trying I mean we are not preventing...another month of a let down! I feel like why is this so hard. For Rachele it took me 9 months of not preventing, for Kenny it was 30 months, the miscarriage was 24 months! Why is it so long? I don't get it. Anyone with advice? I'm not over doing it, just not preventing it!!

5. The house seems to be in good order.

Another Crazy weekend...

I had another crazy weekend but this one was at work!!

Saturday was not so bad we had a few ups and downs but not anything we could not handle. It was just really busy!! At the end of the day we did have a patient come in with respiratory distress and we had to put her on life support! I made it out of work on time...barely!!

Sunday on he other hand was CRAZY!!!! It started out from the beginning!!! I had just clocked in and started the split (which is what we use to give out our assignment for the day)...and they called a code blue...so 3 of my 4 therapists clock in and go help the night shift crew! It ends with us medevacing the patient out to another hospital...were he died a short time later! But he was in really bad shape. When I was in the room before we sent him out I thought he was already gone...even though his vitals said otherwise! I did say a little prayer for him also!

The day gets worse because I had ER for all 12 hours and it was crazy busy all day...it was so full down there that they had patients in the hall all day even major patients. Major patients is just what it means they have a major thing going on!! Every time I was called down there I was down there for a minimum of 1 hour. I was supposed to leave at 630pm and did not get out of the ER until 630 so I gave report and left at 700pm...it was crazy!

My crazy weekend!!! (very long)

Okay so my weekend was awesome!!!

On Thursday we noticed the drain was clogged again...yuck. It got to the carpet down there so that will have to come up...so we called the plumber and he can't get out until Monday. So we do some praying on what to do. We have the missionaries over on Friday after I get off work to share a few words and our conversion story. As they leave they ask if they could pray for anything for us...jokingly I say our drain. Well they prayed for it in their leaving/closing prayer.

On Saturday we go shopping to get some supplies for my signs...and eat at the Burger King out side the store...the kids play a bit and we all have fun...we actually go to the store to shop and I get my foam board for the signs and a few more things needed.

We told the kids we are going to go sledding...yippie!!! Well we leave the store and we are getting a HUGE snow storm...so I look at my weather channel app on my phone and it states we are going to get 1 to 1.5 inches an hour and it will last until 8pm with 2-4 inches total accumulation...now I suck at math but even I can figure out that this does not add up...we end up getting about 5-6 in our area...not to bad!! Well the snow lets up some and we decide we are still going sledding. Trying to make the best of our time and our worries of the drain...we have a hill in a city a few miles away that everyone uses. We head on over and head up the hill. Rachele, Kenny and I go first...well we catch some air and I land on my tail bone...ouch!! This happens three times on the same ride!!! So we head back up and Lee goes down with Rachele. Not an evenful ride...They get back up the hill and Kenny and I go again. This is when I remember why I quit sledding...the climb back up the hill!!! Well the kids decide they are done...but we talk them into one last run with all of us...It was awesome...I just wish we had been at the top still...we came down a bit to make the kids go! On the way back to the car Kenny says I swing? So they stop to swing for a minute and then we head home. We grab a Pizza! Pizza! deal from Little Ceasers...we decide that it was best not to create more dishes since the drain will not go down.

So it was fast Sunday and Lee is sick and I forgot so we did not do a true fast but we pray for the help we need to figure all this out, should me move and lose the house, should we try to do the big fix on the drain, and so on!!! Well we going a little slow this morning but we make it to church before sacrament!! I prayed and Lee prayed and the kids pestered...but hey they are kids!! We come home from church and the drain is clear!!! I do have to add that Lee poured this drain clear stuff that says it will work or its free!!! But I don't think thats what did it...Lee has been doing awesome at paying his tithes...me not so much but I told Lee that this weeks pay I was going to make sure I caught up on my tithes not matter how tight the money was!!! And I'm sticking to it!!! So my thoughts on this whole thing...with prayer and the Lord all things are possible. Being human one would say that the drain stuff worked and thats all it was but how else do you explain that it did not clear until after church and after I said I was going to catch up on tithes!!!???

Bags...

I can't get the photo to upload but for those of you that are on FB you seen my two little paper bags I made with my cricut...

I have been trying to figure out how to package the loose letters for those not wanting them mounted so the thought came to me to make those paper bags and put them in there!

I have all the card stock from stampin up and really never use it so why not put it to use...right? Plus I can get card stock locally and replenish my bags or what ever it is I want to do...

I so love this!!! I wish I would have come up with this idea a year ago...if it takes off I might need to make a new blog just for it!!!
