I found Jeremiah and Darcy in the chair the other day playing vtech video game.

A New Do
I haven't gotten my hair professionally colored in probably 3 years... Today I'm getting my hair did!!!! I'm not sure exactly what I'm going to do but I know I want some multicolored highlights (or maybe its called lowlights) throughout my hair. I don't want to cut any off the length but I wouldn't mind if she shaped me up some. I'm pretty easy when it comes to getting my hair done.
I'm going to a family wedding shower in Mobile this weekend... Me and the girls. Matthew's going to have some guy time with his little fellas :) We're both looking forward to the time with out kids but we'll miss each other. He's been working crazy hours still but after next week things should slow down.

Funny Stuff w/the kids
The boys try and trick us into thinking they're the other twin.
Right now I'm listening to them say "Good Morning Sleeping Beauty" back and forth to each other.
The other night Darcy had begged Matthew to let her sleep in our bed. I was at study group. He said she wouldn't settle down so finally he said "Darcy I let you come in here for one thing and one thing only! To lay down and go to sleep!" She rolled her eyes and sighed reallly big and said "Daddy, thats TWO things!" He couldn't help but to laugh.
Over the last few days when I've had asked Jacob things like 'Are you okay' or 'Are you hungry' he replies with "No I'm sick"

Sickies and So On
Matthew has been working 10 - 12 hour days 6 days a week for over 2 weeks now. He comes home dead tired. He doesn't come home and put his feet up... he insists on playing with the kids or helping me with the nightly task. The job they're on should finish up next week and after that I'm not sure where he'll be sent. Most of the jobs are a pretty long drive and I've gotten so use to having him 12 minutes down the road.
Jacob woke up Saturday morning running a fever and it hasn't let up yet. I made his doctor appointment first thing yesterday morning and by the time Jeremiah woke up he was sicky too! I ended up taking Jacob to the dr but she gave us enough meds for both of them. So far Darcy & Jessica are symptom free.
Last night we ended up with all 3 little ones in our bed. This is very uncommon for us. The boys hardly ever sleep in our bed... unless they're really sick. At some point I went to Darcy's room to sleep. But I was having difficulty sleeping b/c my right arm and leg was tingling. It started earlier in the evening around 8ish and didn't stop until a few hours ago. Not sure what thats all about.
School has started back and so far so good. I have a test on Wednesday that I'm sure to make a 100 on.... unless I draw a blank.

Back in the Saddle
School started back for me this week. I'm going M & W's only... I take a day class then go that night for another class. I really like both of my teachers. I'm going to miss tonight's class b/c I'm going with my husband to the Seeking 7 conference to hear Ravi Z speak. We'll be out Monday for MLD and then Wednesday I have my first test - already! YIKES! But I'm not sweating it too bad. I'm pretty sure things this semester are going to go smoother than last semester.
Matthew's been working a lot of hours lately. I'm miss him like crazy and when he gets home he's like a zombi from working so hard. We're grateful for the job and the overtime but its really hard on my husband who does manual labor for 10 - 12 hours a day in this freezing weather!
Well I've got to get some study time in before class... Hope everyone's doing well. Seems like all us 'bloggers' are too busy to blog :(

So far so good
I didn't make it to the gym this morning but maybe I can squeeze that in tonight after class... I'm a late night kind of person anyways. I did make it class today. Elementary Algebra - whew. The guy thats teaching is Jessica old teacher from CCA. He's really good at explaining things and no one ever has anything bad to say about him. I think I'll enjoy this class. Tonight is my A&P 2 class.
Matthew and I are going to the Seeking 7 conference in b'ham Wednesday night. We're not able to go to the whole thing but we're going to hear Ravi speak Wednesday night. This is NOT my kind of thing... I'm kinda scared that its going to be waaaaay over my head BUT my husband is really excited about going so I'm praying that I'll enjoy it too.
I need to pick up before I pick up the kids.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY SISTER IN LAW AMY!!!! I'm pretty sure she's turning 25 but I might be wrong.

My New Years Resolutions
Of course at the top of the list is to lose weight - duh! I'm going to start back at the gym next week when school starts for me. I've got to try harder... this is NOT the body I want to be stuck with!!
My hubby was really buff when we started dating (and I was a lot skinner).... so he's NYR is to get buff again. I bought him one of the $50 Gold's Gym in a box deal... the little door way hanger thingy to do pull ups and junk on. It also came with some other contraptions that I'm not sure exactly how they work.
We also started a nightly devotional by John McArthur. We're still reading other books but now we have a devotional to read.
I also made a commitment to keep my house kept up and not let it get overwhelming. I hope I can maintain this while in school. If so it would help with my stress levels.
I was telling my hubby about my next NYR when he jumped right in and bursted my bubble ;) I said I wanted to learn to bite my tongue... HE said... I should pray that God would change my heart so that I would think differently and NOT have to bite my tongue. Love his honesty... even if it stings.
Wish me luck

\m/ HOOK EM \m/
In a matter of hours the game will be on and people will be glued to the TV... I may or may not be one of them. I really don't care who wins but I don't think I can tolerate the obnoxious Alabama fans. Not all are obnoxious but there's enough to make me pull for Texas. My dad had my mom rent a generator just incase the power went out. Which brings me to my next point...
Where's the snow? I really wanted it. They talked this up so much calling it a "historic winter event" and all that junk. I'm going to be really disappointed if we don't get snow. I've seen flurries off and on all day. My kids are begging for snow. I'm ready for it. We bought a portable heater that runs of propane. We've got plastic to cover the windows (cause we're ghetto). I have groceries and plenty of warm clothes. We're just lacking the white stuff right now.
Matthew, Jessica and myself have been watching all the Harry Potter movies over the last few weeks. We watched the 6th one last night so now we're going to be one of those geeks that stand in line for hours trying to buy tickets ;) maybe not. Its good but I don't know of many movies that will make me stand in line for hours. Its not anything like I expected it to be. I remember when it first came out and all the talk about it from christians.... how they were banning it and that junk. I'm not really sure why. I mean if those christians would take such a strong stance with all they do and see then maybe it would make more sense to me. But those same christians are hooked on soap operas, romance novels and all sorts of other junk that they shouldn't be watching for the same reasons they wanted to boycott HP.
Well I've managed to make my first batch of macoroni salad... I asked everyone what was the one thing they wanted to snack on this weekend if we got stranded... Jessica picked macoroni salad. I must say... I did good. Now I've gotta get started on my mexican soup.

Prayer needed
Most of you know by now that Reba lost her husband Danny to cancer on Saturday. You also know that my family is very close to Reba. It has been really hard seeing her like this and I'm asking that you all pray for her. Like really pray... not just say "I'm praying" I can't imagine what her and his kids are going through. He left behind 2 children, Katie 18 and Taylor 14... their mom passed away years ago from cancer also. Its not fair... its not fair that those kids lost both parents. Its not fair that Reba is burying her husband today. I'm angry and sad. My heart aches in ways that it hasn't before. I don't know what lies ahead but I know its going to be tough. Most of the time we go to funerals and pay our respects... we might even follow up with a phone call. But soon after we return to our normal lives.... Their lives will never be normal again.
Take time to let your family know how much you love them and appreciate them.
