I realized the other day that I have been pretty bad with updating my blog...... the past few weeks have been long and hard and I haven't wanted to do anything. My last "real" post was last month, so I guess I better get to it before I am updating a couple months at one time.
One of the most important events that have happened is that Stew and I have celebrated our 5th Wedding Anniversary!!!! I can't believe that I have been married to my best friend for 5 years! We exchanged gifts right when we woke up. I gave Stew "Avatar" and he gave me a super cute shirt and hat. Stew had school that day, so he went to school and then came home. We took Ethan and Ryan over to our friend's house. We went and saw "The Other Guys"...... pretty funny!! After the movie we walked around "Cruisin with the Classics"...... We saw some BEAUTIFUL old cars that have been restored! After that we went to TGI Fridays for supper. I love my husband SO much and I look forward to celebrating more anniversaries with him!!!
Stew has finished a whole month of school! Whoo hoo! He has 5 tests coming up, so he is down at the school until 8pm and then gets home around 8:30pm. He hasn't been studying here at home much just because of our loud children. I seriously can't wait until test week is over! On a positive note... it is a holiday tomorrow so we will get to spend one more day with him than we usually do.
This last week has been BRUTAL! Ryan is either getting sick or she is teething...... either way she isn't sleeping well and she is Miss Cranky-Pants! For some reason Ethan has been doing the complete opposite of what we say to him. Yesterday we went to walk around Strongsville Mall and he decided that he would run around the store and touch things he wasn't supposed to touch...... He was just being a tad bit annoying. I love my children very much but these past couple weeks have been hard. Instead of playing with them, I just want them to take naps and leave me alone or there are other times that I don't want to do any housework and just curl up under a blanket with Ethan and Ryan and watch a movie and just hold onto them. I'm sure that these feelings are here because I am so tired and a bit down. A few things have left me a little down...... I REALLY WANT TO GET BACK INTO SHAPE!!! I tried on a few things the other day and had to go up a size or two......just to hide my stomach. I am a little down from something that happened to some of my dear friends in AZ this past week. Tom and Joy Payne had to let go of their little boy Jaxon this past weekend. Little Jaxon passed away Monday night from drowning in a pool. Jaxon was 3-years-old...... I didn't know Jaxon very well, but his parents are AMAZING! They have been through SO many trials and are going through so many right now. I heard that there have been a few deaths of children in the past several weeks...... all from LDS families. Some one said to one of my friends "It's as if the Second Coming is near and Heavenly Father needed their strong spirits to help." Definitely something to think about. Jaxon's funeral was yesterday...... I wish that I could have been there to support my wonderful friends!
Another bad thing that happened was Stew got into an accident this past Friday. He is okay, but the driver side front tire is now bent in...... So our car is non-drivable...It sucks, but I am just glad that my wonderful husband and his friend who was in the car at the time are safe and okay. Also......that same day we realized that our A/C was draining water out and TOTALLY soaked the kids closet floor, along with Stew's office space in our room. It was a good thing we had the computer on top of a piece of wood...other wise it would have fried the computer!
A good thing that has happened for me is I have started painting again! I finished and re-did a few things the other day and it was AWESOME! So glad to be getting back into my one hobby that I LOVE! I have decided that I am going to try something new...... I am going to set some weekly mini goals. This week is:
- Go to bed early...... NO later than 9:30. (good thing I have TiVo!)
- Wake up earlier than Stew and do a workout video.
- Keep up on my housework for the week!!!
- Paint something to decorate for Fall!!
That is all for right now. So until next time...
