So What Wednesday

So what if...

I'm having coffee at 4:25pm.
I JUST realized it is Wednesday. really? wow.
I need a haircut. desperately. I won't get one until my hair guy is available and that really may be never since he got a FT job NOT doing hair anymore...
I am seriously considering a homeschool type program for Conner. Josh is not happy about this.
I just put make up on. yes, it's 4:30 in the afternoon. Apparently I think I'm starting my day over w/the coffee and make up. whatever.
I love my van, but I hate my van.
I think it's hilarious that Conner has started chasing girls on the playground...why? oh, b/c they scream. hilarious.

Link up w/Shannon!

I have a confession...

Can I just be like Maxine?


 
I'm a terrible house wife. I get very, very tired of cleaning/picking up the same things over and over again. I can keep it picked up and I do vacuum the rug and sweep the floors and clean the kitchen every day but the rest. ick. I hate it. I wish I was OCD about it. I wish it drove me insane. I mean, on one hand it does. It's an organized mess. Laundry is my nemesis. Bathrooms (with little boy pee all over them) make me want to curl up into the fetal position. I DO clean, I really do but I hate it and I never want to do it. I need HELP in this dept.  I try to clean one thing every day but nothing is ever all clean at once and that just annoys me so then I think, well, why bother?!? When I had just Conner, the house was always clean...always. I mopped twice a day (clearly I had NOTHING better to do). Then I had Parker and it was a little worse and I mopped once a day. Now I have 3 of them (all mobile) and I mop every other day and the bomb of toys gets bigger and the craziness is louder (and I'd totally have more kids, if we could!), but I need to clean this hott mess and simplify my life.  What works for you? How do you get organized and how do you keep everything clean?

So What Wednesday

This week I'm saying so what to...

I feel off the clean eating bandwagon. I need to get back on. I'm not saying it's a fail...yet.

I have not worked out in almost 2 weeks. I don't know what my problem is. I just don't feel like it.

There are many things in my life that I can not control nor do I know what to do about them, so I just dismiss it. I can't worry about everything.

FB sucks. I admit it. I also can't delete b/c of my business page.

I have been having a lot of abdominal pains. Every test has been 'normal' and my pcp says I can go to a GI "if I want to". I don't want to.

We're having family photos done Sunday and I'm not sure what we are wearing. I can dress YOUR family but not mine.

I love school. It's the best thing I have ever done for my kids.

What are you saying so what to? Head over to Shannon's blog and link up!

New design/Layout

Do you like it? I LOVE it. Jessica over at Diamon Doll Designs did a great job. She even helped me come up w/that cute little tag line about all these boys that live in this house with me. If you need a new design, you need to check her out; she's amazing, (clearly) talented and super, super sweet! Tell her I said 'Hi"

Fall Festival

We have had a busy October (already) but it's been fun. The kids have had soccer and have been sick. We spent the weekend on a gorgeous lake a few hours north of us and hit up a fall festival where we ate (until I wanted to gag) kettle corn, played in a creek (but didn't get wet, it was chilly), went fishing and just got away. It was super fun and I wish I could just permanently live that way but that isn't reality...it was fun and I think it was really needed. I like my hubby more now and that's always a good thing ;)

**disclosure, this post will have a lot of photos. I'm not sorry for it.**

My favorite thing about this festival is the old school. Parker liked ringing the school bell.



Conner thought this big pumpkin was awesome!!
Parker kept chasing the train! He was so excited when he finally got to ride it.




Tyler was just happy to be held. He loves Papa.


The next day we went to another festival (ate more kettlecorn) and played in the creek.

While they played, I took photos of my baby. why not?!



When we got back, we went fishing. The sunset was outstanding!!!

Scary Fall

Our house is completely divided when it comes to "Fall" decorations. The boys (except for Tyler) like the scary Halloween stuff and I like the cute scarecrow, yellow/orange flower, pumpkins and gourds stuff. What do we do here except mix them up...sort of. (for the record, I started this post a week ago. seriously smh)

SO what Wednesday

wait, it's wednesday?...

this week I'm saying so what to...

I bought a groupon to crossfit at a gym that has childcare and costs more money. I'm only going to do it for a month, even if I love it.

We've been inside since 2 b/c well, I don't want to sit outside anymore today. Did I mention the weather is perfect? I have cleaning and laundry to do.

I love can frosting. I could (almost) live on it. I don't but I want to.

I haven't worked out all week. I'm dragging ass and am not feeling well.

We are going to the fair this weekend and I want to stay home. I'm begging to stay home but the hubs won't have it. (I don't know why that's included in SWW)

I need to get my hair done. I don't want to spend the money so I'm going to scour groupon and see if I can find something.

I left the kids at school for an extra hour today (paid for it too) and it was awesome! I wish we could afford to do it every day!

I need to drink more water. I have been having some health problems and water would probably 'fix' a lot of them.

I have 2 drafts going b/c I can't get it together enough to finish them; I'm actually shocked that I haven't been interrupted w/this one yet.

Soccer Time

So, soccer started last week (and I've tried to do this post a dozen times already). Conner is in love and Parker was devastated...why, you ask. Parker wasn't on the team. He is now. I signed him up. They are SO excited! First game is this weekend (P hasn't been feeling well, praying he's up for it)
