Well I announced...

Ok so I guess me saying I wasn't going to dwell on not getting pregnant and guess what...it happens...

Ok I actually think its from my Dr listening to me and upping my thyroid meds...because even though I'm in the normal range per the textbooks it wasn't normal enough for my body...so she is going to monitor me closely during this pregnancy and said to make sure I let the OB know about it!!! So mid September we are having the new Story join us!!!

Weekend off...

So yesterday and today should have been me time day 6-7...I think... but since I have to work overtime next week I decided to take the weekend off...so what happens...............

My body wakes me up at 4am both days...Saturday I stayed up and took a nap later...Today I managed to fall back to sleep for a bit before Lee's alarm went off so he could go to his before church meetings...last year my weekends off we could go in together but he would stay late to meet with the missionaries...so we would drive separate anyways...well...until we have a 5th Sunday we won't be able to get the kids ready together and all the other morning stuff...but I'm a good supporting wife and don't complain to much...until it interferes with my me time...like Relief Society nights...which it did this month twice...I lodged my complaint with Lee and he totally understands because hey I need to fellowship with the sisters as much as he needs to do his calling...so next month I am free to go the the knitting class that I'm teaching...I told him I couldn't miss that class...

Me time day 6...

Ok I am failing misierably at this...but I did manage to practice the piano a bit today...I will have to more later...

I need someone to kick me in gear!!!

Piano lesson...

Ok so we got an awesome deal on a piano right after we moved to the new house...50 bucks for a nice 1950's Wurlitzer spinet...something for us to learn on and maybe upgrade later but it works so why not use it!!!

Any who, we are lucky enough to have some "transplants" in our ward...Well she teaches piano for a great price...for lessons for Rachele and I it's only 25 bucks...not sure what the going rate is but it is low enough for my budget so we are doing it!!

Any who again...lesson was today...lots of homework. But I see lots of fun...so that's good. I have some knowledge of music so that helps and we are trying to help encourage the kids with their interests in music, so Kenny has drums, a guitar and a ukalaie....Rachele has a keyboard and guitar. The piano belongs to the family as does the music maker from deserret books, my old flute from high school, and my mom's old zither! So we will be a well rounded music family...did I miss any instruments in the house? Oh and Lee's Bass guitar...So now we can rock on...

Me time day 5...

Not so much...I felt so sick I laid in bed and didn't get up until right before the kids left for school...I did manage to get in the shower and go for my first piano lesson...so much fun...I will make that a separate post!!

Me time day 4...

I got up and waited for Lee to move...I helped him get the kids ready for school...something I never do...

I even took the kids to school with him...after the kids were off to school I came home and worked on the granny square I learned how to make...I actually started a new one just to see if I had it down...not so much...I will figure it out...so it was a double me time today!!

Me time day 3...

Ok my me time today was extra sleep...Lee was coughing all night and it kept me up most of the night...he didn't even realize he was coughing when I told him this morning when his alarm went off...oh well.

I had to go into work this morning anyway to get my computer stuff checked off...we are going to electronic medical records and the program goes live on the 16th of January...we hope they have pushed the date back several times already...I got it all done in under 2 hours!!

I will try to find more fun things to blog about I promise...

Me time day 2...

So my alarm went off at 6am...I shut it off and thought why am I doing this again...and it hits me better health all the way around, so I get up and go to the bathroom (tmi) and omg the pain...its either a uti or a stone trying to pass because lack of pressure...again tmi but knowledge is power!! Any who...I rested and prayed...maybe next week I will actually get on the elliptical in the morning!

Me time day one...

Ok when I went to bed I figured I would get up at 6am and work out...well that did not happen...

I did lay in bed and pray, ponder and think...I know ponder and think are the same thing but for me they aren't!

I think about lots of things, I ponder few!! So see not the same...lol!!!

I have to work tomorrow so no early time...but I think I can manage to sneak a private prayer in...

I have a LIST...

I have made my list...it could change...or not.

Some of the things won't change...but I might add to it...yikes!

Ok Shanna your turn...lol!

Happy New Year!!!

Hi Blog World...It's me Debbie...

As I reflected on the past year I only posted about half of what I posted the year before...so not a blogger this past year I guess.

So here is the plan...Get with the program Deb!!!

So I have a list of goals I'm creating to get me on track...this could be the year I do it...it could happen!!

Once I get the list I will post it...maybe I nice list like on Shanna's blog that is a few years out of date...hint hint...lol!!! Last year I said I would make a list but it would appear I never did...oops!

How about a nice family picture from Rachele's baptism...since I didn't share it in October when it happened...

Maybe I can add more photo's later...

Let's start with fun...

So one of my posts last year I think...lol, I posted that Lee and I haven't taken a family vacation since our Nebraska trip when Lee's parents lived there...in 2007 I believe. Well my SIL being the great person she is reads my blog...who knew...lol, hope I didn't say anything to offend her on here...sorry if I did...any who she makes these big plans between her my BIL and FIL. So for Christmas they bought us a vacation package...so sweet...Great Wolf Lodge here we come!! On the vacation front we really haven't had any vacations other the that Nebraska trip...not even a honeymoon. But this is so awesome!!

This is the box display my SIL created for our gift...
