I missed a day

So yesterday I didn't post. It was hard on me. Honestly I feel bad posting right now. However I can see all my children that are home so I know it will be okay for a short post. Yesterday was a busy day. See we finally purchased our home. The home we hope to fill with love for a few years to come. My children know we have the house. They are just as excited as mom and dad. However at the same time I spent my time not at the house or with my kids, working on Pumpkin's rag doll costume. I didn't have my sewing machine so my grandmother was kind enough to sew one up for me and ship it. All I had to do was adjust the elastic. And well make her a wig. The costume was due today!! Well here I am still working on the wig. I am hoping to get it done tonight after the small ones are in bed and send it in tomorrow. The more rows I put on the quicker it is going. It is time consuming no matter what. So I may not get in what I was going to talk about tonight. Let's just hope come Tuesday it has all worked out. I am hoping to be able to share what we have done to the house as well soon. Last night my amazing husband and BIL put curtains up on the first floor. They look great. I have pictures of the empty house and most likely I will post the before's and after's of each room in a separate post. We are blessed with all the help we are getting with this house. Soon it will look as nice as my MIL's or my SIL's homes.

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?

Image
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
