FOUR
I really do have FOUR children - promise! But my other one has reached that age where she doesn't like for mommy to take pictures... or in some cases she's at school when i break out the camera!
But I'm going to do a 'photo shoot' with her soon b/c she's got a lot of nice stuff to wear for her cruise and I want some pictures!!!
The cruise... she's going on a cruise during Spring Break with her dad's side of the family. Her grandparents are celebrating their anniversary and taking the family on a cruise. Her nana took her shopping b/c apparently at night you have to dress up.

The Dreadful Mail Lady
I have really come to hate that lady! I've mentioned things in the past that has happened. Today at 1:30 she FLIES into my driveway and HONKS her horn in some sort of melody. Here's the conversation...
me: my kids are napping
mail lady: huh?
me: my kids are trying to nap
ml: well what do you want me to do?
me: slow down and lay off the horn
ml: well thats what i have to do
me: you can leave my package on the door step
ml: i'll just leave em at the post office
me: whatever! slow down!!!!
I walked back inside to find Darcy at the top of the stairs asking "who's here?"
I heard her fly into my driveway way before she started the honking. She is constantly flying down my road!!!!!!
I called the post office and complained... I don't know how well it will do but I did tell them that she flew into my driveway and played some obnoxios melody with her horn. She defended her for the most part - to be expected. But she did say she'd say something to her about it.

Random Tid Bits
About 2 weeks ago Matthew was home one Friday with the kids and I spent whole day running around taking care of stuff. I really enjoyed having the day to myself. I wish I had someone to watch the kids once a week or every two weeks just to let me GET OUT. That Friday I was able to spend gift certificates that I had gotten for CHRISTMAS! I also got my hair cut and stopped by a few places that I'd been meaning to visit... old time pottery! I really enjoyed the day. Its different spending a Saturday out because I feel like I need to be home with my hubby and kids.
NEXT YEAR... Jessica is going to Chilton Christian Academy and Darcy will be going as well!!! They have a K3 program. Its a BIG decision that took a lot of prayer. But I think Darcy will do better there than at home with me and brothers. And it will give me some time to spend with the boys.
We finally broke down and bought a new stove!!! Its a white flat top stove... like my other one but this one WORKS! LOL I decided to go with white because its a clean look and all of my appliances are white. I'm also getting ready to remodel the kitchen... we're putting the hardwoods in the kitchen, living room and hallway. We're rearranging the cabinets and I'm going to paint them white. Eventually we'll be getting new counter tops but we'll have to wait and see how are budget goes.
My sister, her friend and my mom are having a yard sale at my house at the end of March. I doubt I'll have much to offer but their the ones that wanted to do one at my house. They've already started bringing truck loads down! LOL Some things are in boxes - never used! Mostly wedding gifts that my sister stored away. Lots of cassarole dishes and stuff. OH... and toys... a bunch of Zac's toys! I'll post more about that a little closer to time.
My real estate work is going good. The interest rates falling created a refinance craze! I love it!
Well I'd better go... the kids are down for their nap and I'm going to look for Easter outfits online :)

Jacob
Jacob woke up from his nap on Friday with a 103.6 fever. I had no warning signs! The doctor said to keep a watch on him... make sure he's drinking, peeing and if he starts having any other symptons to call. Well so far its the same thing... low fever during the day but after nap its HIGH. I kept him home from church this morning. He was crushed when everyone else walked out the door. I don't really get any one on one time with my boys so I'm trying to make the most of this opportunity. I just hope the little guy can nip this fever thing!

?
Does anyone have the movie "Me and my big fat greek wedding"? I need to borrow it to get myself ready for what to expect.
How fun!
My cousin owns a clothing store in Montevallo call Royal Dutchess Clothing. She called me the other day to ask if I would be her ___________ I don't remember what she called me but basically I get to go online to wholesale clothing sites and pick out all the plus size clothes!!!!! I've been doing it the last 2 days during nap time and its sooooo much fun! She said I'd get to have anything I purchased.... EVEN BETTER!
Whats really sad is knowing how much things are marked up once they're in a store... if you knew it would make you SICK!
Anyways... go check our her site above. Or better yet... stop by her store and tell her I sent ya! She's right off of Main Street on Middle Street smack dab in the middle of town!

SPEECHLESS!!!
Matthew and I have spent this past weekend looking for Laminate floors for our downstairs. We've been to 6 different places. I found one that I liked but it was waaaay over our budget. I called 4 different places today and looked on the internet. I FOUND IT!!!! I found it on the internet http://www.carpet-wholesale.com/ !!!! I bought it!!! The cost first started at $2.99 and I got it for $1.69!!!!!!! I'm sooooo stinkin excited!!!! My dad was a little skeptical but he's old skool and doesn't like buying off the internet. The warehouse is in Dalton, GA.

Happy Valentines Day!
As I said on Crystal's blog I'd rather my hubby do little things all year long than just on Valentines Day when its most expected. Luckily my hubby does do little things all year long for me.
We normally buy each other a very small something but nothing ever big. This year I got him a card and a puzzle to do together (500 pieces). I broke out the puzzle last night b/c all the kids went to bed early b/c they weren't feeling good - you never know when that will happen so you have to take advantage of it when it does happen! LOL We actually sat in my office/computer room and listened to praise and worship music. It was really nice.
Matthew's birthday is Feb 19th so I always try to do something extra special for his b'day. This year he says he wants us to get a TV for our bedroom - we'll see!
