Goal update!

Okay so I had to go back to December of 2009 to find them all but I did...

Church...we are doing better with prayers, class we did awesome with (no callings yet so we will see how the rest of the year goes), FHE we still slack on somewhat but my Monday night class ends this week so maybe I could get things going again.

School...I am really doing bad on this one. I started out good then slack off. The procrastination inside me comes out.

The kids...We are being more understanding. With the move it was very time consuming and the kids felt neglected, I could tell by their actions. We are getting back on target. I just need to figure out how to get Rachele out of the whining mode. Once I do I'll write a book for all to read and I can then be rich...lol!

Lee...He is doing well with his weight loss but has hit a plateau. But his Dr is pleased anyway.

Family History...Okay so we have our Recommends but we have yet to go. We moved even closer to the temple when we got the new house...I know for me it is because I don't feel up to the emotional toll it is going to have on me.

Household...Okay with the move we got rid of a few things. Not much...as I said before we did give away a lot of toys to the church. We still have many things to unpack and go through to include stuff from when we moved from Fort Wayne. I know if we have not used it in that many years we should get rid of it but some of it was expensive stuff or keepsake stuff. So until I can part with it the stuff stays.

Sunday, Sunday, Sunday

My version of Grateful Sunday...

*I love our new/old Ward...feels like we really never left other than some new faces. The ward has changed a bit in the 2 and half years or so that we have been gone.
*A nice day to play with the family and brush out the dog...he really needed it we must have brushed out another dog.
*A loving family that does not care when I mess up or forget things.
*Some great friends that I keep up with via my blog or on FB! I really miss my Fort Wayne friends. I'm glad that we can stay in touch via the internet.
*A Bishop who is not afraid to break away from the norms and put people on the spot to bare their testimony...I'm sure he'll get me soon!

Emotions!!

Today I am feeling over whelmed with emotions. I don't know how to explain it. I have no idea where it is coming from.

My thoughts of why...

1. Had I not miscarried I should have given birth by now...good idea of why.
2. My nephew is away at basic training and he sent his first post card home...another good reason why.
3. My neck hurts really bad...pain always makes someone want to cry.
4. We seem to be under a lot of stress...yet another good reason to cry.
5. Lee got a notice in the mail to go to court over his child support stuff...he pays every month  why bother him!! Very annoyed by this.
Ok I think I hit everything...

Happy 7th b-day Rachele

My baby girl is 7...were did the years go? Next year is the big birthday...I think I should start planning it now. What do you guys think. I did not take any pictures...silly me. Aunt Cathy did though...maybe I could use some of hers. Or I could take a picture of her tomorrow in her new clothes...

As for conference...we watched the Saturday morning session while waiting for the Sunday morning session to start. Very uplifting...while we cleaned up more stuff for the party. I think we can catch the rest of it later...or read it in the Ensign next month.

Update...

So we have spent a few days in the new house...loving it. Lee has gotten us unpacked in some areas. I have gotten a few things unpacked for the kitchen. Today is a good day to unpack some more...if the rain would stop I could get more motivation. I hate the rain...I love what it does for the earth. So I guess it is a love hate relationship.

On the cheer thing...the mom was all over the news...still not telling anyone about why she was really kicked off the team. She violated the by laws of the league and violated the parent code of conduct by putting a bad light on the league...so no matter if you agree with her or not on the cheer she still has to own up to the fact that she is lieing about the full details.

Conference is coming up...exciting. I love hearing from the prophet and the other higher calling holders. Rachele has decided she hates conference...only because she can't get a special gift from primary. I told her that she will but it will be on the following Sunday. One day this will not be an issue. It's kinda funny both my kids have a birthday with special meaning...Rachele was born on conference weekend (most of the time)...Kenny was born on December 23rd...so he shares his birthday with Prophet Joseph Smith. Very cool. I hope they find it special no matter what...all in due time I'm sure.

Cheer Issue

Most of you have seen me post on FB about this...

I just want to say if you did follow it at all, that things did not go the way the outed mom says they did. I agree that they should not have been kicked off the team but she should have followed proper protocol. She faught to get her daughter on the team and called a board member to help out but when it came down to getting her objections heard, she ran to the news with a tape of all of our kids to be shown on TV. All of this because she did not get the answer she wanted from the start. She was told to take her objections to a board meeting and then was told when those meetings were. Like the coach stated the words are handed out on the 1st day of practice and she did not have an issue until 3 weeks after the fact. I can say I'm not thrilled about the words but I know what context the words are used. So I do not have an issue with them. Plus the news has yet to get the words right...which I guess is not big deal to some people but for me it is. The words are my back aches, my skirts to tight, my booty shakes from left to right. Not like the news says...our backs ache, our skirts to tight, we shake our booties from left to right. Even Lee says it just samantics but if you say it that way it makes it worse...at least to me.

I'm done with my soap box...

One Picture of the new house...finally!!

Shanna will be so happy to see this...
Silly me for got to take before pictures as we started to paint...well primer anyway. Most of the rooms are really dark and not our color. So I will have after pictures...
