HAND

This would be a picture of Averi's hand under the door at 9:00 pm at night. She was sound asleep when I went in there to put her back in her bed. For some reason she has made her bed to be on the floor by the door SEVERAL times before this. I just happen to walk by and see her hand on this occasion. Silly girl...just had to share this!!

"NOT me!" Monday

My first "NOT me!" Monday posting! You can join in on the rest of the Not Me's on Mckmama blog. She was the creator of this whole thing! I love reading others but thought I would take a shot at it.

I did NOT see a mouse run through the living room floor as I was changing Averi's diaper on Saturday IN the floor. My house have mice...NOT mine! I have NOT caught 4 mice in the house before this.

I did NOT catch the 5th mouse on Sunday after church. Again my house have mice...NO WAY.

I do NOT think that mice are just so gross I want to move out of this house and away from the fields that they could be coming from.

I am NOT so terribly scared of the Hantavirus that I refuse to clean out garage without my husband being here. OKAY enough about mice, but if you want to leave suggestions on what to do on this, feel free to leave me a comment.

I did NOT have an answer to my prayer this morning when I was talking to my friend about having pictures taken by her instead of using someone professionaly and then her telling me that someone from our church loves to take pictures because she (my friend) is not a good photographer.

I do NOT have to leave in 10 minutes to pick my 1st grader up from school.

Well there you go. This was fun...I will continue my "Not Me" Mondays. Stay tuned for our pictures to be posted when we have them done.

Love/Hate Fall

Love Fall:

It's not to hot and not to cold (Well somedays living in Colorado)

The trees are BEAUTIFUL when they change color

Holidays are getting closer

Football Season

Volleyball games start

Hate Fall:

Getting the flu

Getting colds

Getting strep

We are only on the 7th day of October and 3 out of the 6 of us has been sick already. Copays to the dr when you have 4 kids are not cheap. Then perscriptions...yeah those aren't cheap either. Thank goodness for medical insurance. Twins are sick today..running fever of 104. Emeri was sick over weekend. Went to dr yesterday and the strep culture was negative but with Emeri's past experiences, they are treating her with antibiotics anyways. Not sure of what this nasty virus is but it needs to go away. I pray that my immune system is stronger than theirs because I don't have time to be sick. I pray for this season to be better than last.

Lineman's Wife Poem

A JOURNEYMAN'S WIFE

Dinner’s been ready, it’s gotten pretty cold, when a call she gets, not surprised of what she’s been told.“Gotta work late again honey, I won’t be home.” She sighs, knowing that again she’ll be alone.
The money is good, but it can’t compare, to the love she has and she doesn’t want to share with a company that has become his life, the one she teases him about being his second wife.
Usually alone to events she goes, where everyone asks for him, hell don’t they know, there’s a storm tonight, he’s out in the cold, braving the weather, always so bold. And no one thinks of her when they call in for service, she knows of the dangers, bites her lip ‘cause she’s nervous. The weather gets worse, but he’s on his way home, he’ll greet his wife, she’s no longer alone.
A kiss on the lips and a really tight hug, it’s time for bed, she’s ready to snug. And with his arms around his wife, dreaming about the good things in life, the telephone rings, glancing at the caller i.d., well what do you know, it’s the power company.
So off he goes to work on your wires at all times of the night and late into the hours. She lays in their bed and prays for his life, that he’ll be home soon and safe tonight. She tosses and turns, clicks off the light, God give her strength...She’s a Journeyman’s wife.

Lineman's Rodeo 2008

Last week Cody and I got to go to Kansas City for the International Lineman's Rodeo. A week away from the kids and it was a much needed break!! Codys' grandparents came into town to keep the kids. So blessed that they came and helped out. It had rained for 3 day straight so it was a MUDDY mess. On Friday night we had to go all over town to find some water boots. Thank goodness for those or I would have ruined my shoes.

None of my kids...they would have looked worse than this. This is just to show how muddy it was.

We had a blast!!

1st day of Preschool (again)

Last Year

I tried putting Emeri in preschool last year but it didn't happen that way. She was still a little young and cried when I left. I couldn't handle that. Also she wasn't 3 yet when school started.

This year she is a little more mature to go. Also she has someone she knows in her class so that makes it easier. She did great when I dropped her off, didn't cry at all. As I was in the class I heard the teacher say that they will have lunch about 11:30....um oh no LUNCH? I didn't bring lunch for her. So I went to Walmart and got her a lunchable and took it back to her. As I was walking in the door I heard her crying. Why is she crying? Teacher met me before I got to the classroom and I asked her why she was crying? She was missing me, my heart was broken. I didn't want her to see me but she saw me anyways. She got better after I left the teacher said. So hopefully she will get past that and learn and be smart!!
