All Flustered

So tonight I am shopping online. What am I shopping for? Well Christmas cards. Remember those fabulous pictures I shared, well I have at least one I have not shared that I want to use for my Christmas card. I am working on finding the best price. My other thing I am shopping for? Well that would be 12x12 prints without paying an arm and a leg for a poster the size I really didn't want that I would have to cut down. Needless to say I have found websites I didn't know existed. I have ONE I trust to buy the prints from however, they are and arm and a leg for my Christmas cards. So I am looking at half the price for the cards simply getting them at Walmart of all places. See I really don't want to buy more than I know I will use either.
So I am certain this art project of mine will have to be put on hold for now. The husband gets paid soon and I will get my spending money which I can use to buy my prints for my wall art. For now I think I will just get my cards from Walmart. I am not in the mood to over think Christmas cards. I used to do a Christmas letter to go with our wonderful family picture. However I think I have plenty of other things to do since we will sign for our house on Tuesday. I cannot wait to see how the house comes together. I know my husband has been doing just as much planing as myself. I know he will do a majority of the work as well. He is going to be one tired man for these next two weeks. If anyone can think of any ideas on things to have on hand to show him how much I am appreciating all the hard work he is doing please let me know. Or if I think of something I will be sure to share what I do. I am anxious most of all this week to see how our son's room comes together. We have plenty to keep us busy.
Yet all this and today I start looking for books to put on my iPad. There are movies coming out that I wish to read the books before I see the movies. My first books on my list are The Hunger Games series. I also wish to read Water for Elephants, this movie will be released to DVD soon, but I still wish to read the book first. I am mildly addicted to reading. We shall see what I get around to being able to read here soon. I got to see Breaking Dawn: Part 1 today as well. It was a treat from my MIL. My husband watched all the kids so I could go. Now I am ready for Part 2. Maybe that one I can see with my husband.

Family Pictures

Image
Alright so we are what is considered a big family these days. I am lucky and my photographer loves his subjects as my photographer is my father-in-law (FIL). I had him do some family pictures this month so we could have a cute Christmas card. Our problem is the kids are so young so half the time one or more kid is not looking at the camera and this is often the result. Okay so that is sort of cute. Let's see what else results from a large family. Okay this one is not so bad, other than the face. This is a little better, again so many people and under the lights it can get warm (yes he has professional lights and will have a studio this next year.) At this point. I was sure we were done. However me being mommy we continued on. I did get the shot I wanted. I won't share it, it wasn't perfect, in fact it was less than perfect, however it just screamed this is it. It reminds me of the kids picture with Santa last year, you know one of those moments you just ca

Christmas Crack?

Okay so in January of 2009 I joined a cloth diaper board called Cloth Diaper Nation . I had just found out I was expecting my third child the summer before and after loosing a computer hard drive to Diaper Swappers 's viruses they were having trouble with at the time, I jumped ship for another place to get diapers. See with my second baby I decided I wanted to cloth diaper and just knew I would need loads more diapers after having my third child, and would now have two babies in diapers. I ended up finding the ladies of the board very interesting. I loved that there was no edit button and you had to own what you said there. What I did find strange was their chatter about crack. Heck they even ran a co-op of this crack. I didn't get it at first. I began to understand this was a candy of sorts. So I just pushed it off. So then Christmas came and they were unable to get the co-op run and there were many sad ladies. I again thought nothing of this crack. So this year I am introdu

I Survived

So a couple of months ago on Facebook I had a message from someone I went to middle school/high school with. We hung in the same circle of friends. We however we never really that close, always keeping each other at arms length. I can say she was more of my "bully" than friend. In this message she told me she was sorry. She realizes that her actions and words were harmful to me. She told me that what she did and said all those years ago were not the actions of a Christian that she thought she was. I cried, why, probably because it was the first time in over 15 years someone said they were sorry and meant it. I'm not perfect, I would be crazy to say I was. I come with battle scars. How I view myself is a result of YEARS of being bullied. I don't think I have even talked about how much it still effects my everyday life with my amazing husband. My self esteem is lacking, I have never felt pretty, I think I will always feel fat. This is damage that was done over YEARS of
