My wonderful hubby
He turned 27 yesterday! I tried to convince him that he should take off since it was his birthday but he wouldn't/couldn't. I made his favorite.... hamburgers and fries! lol Jessica also made brownies to eat with our ice cream. The girls made him a huge colorful b'day card while I just went out and bought one ;) I also got him the new archeological study bible and some clothes.

Prayer Request
We got a call this morning that Jessica's uncle Wesley (her dad's brother - not my husband) had a freak accident yesterday. He was digging a whole with a tractor... actually the - i'm def not going to spell this right but oh well - the auger? anyways... its a big screw driver type deal that spirals down into the ground... his jacket got caught in it and it pulled him in. Thank God he had his back turned to it or else it would have been a lot worse. It broke both of his arms and the jacket nearly pulled his skin off his back. He had emergency surgery on both arms. He's lucky to be alive. He'll be released from the hospital either Monday or Tuesday but he'll have a long recovery. He can't use his arms so he's pretty much helpless. His wife, Marie, will have to do everything for him. Please keep them both in your prayers. We were able to visit with him today. He's in a lot of pain to say the least. And I'm sure once he has to give up the moriphin (sp) pump it will be worse.

Serious Bloggers
Does anyone else lay in bed at night and think of things you can blog about? I do but I rarely have time to actually blog about it!!!
Crazy Weather
Last night we spent 40 minutes in the bathroom with all the kids and their toys! LOL There were at least 2 "rotations" in our area but none touched down.
This morning is was soooo cold as I loaded up the kids to take Jessica to school. It was SNOWING IN CHILTON COUNTY! And it was windy too. I've moved the boys into their big boy carseats so now I have to take them one by one to the car. I used to just grab both infant carriers and teeter tot my way to the car.
Once I got off the interstate in Alabaster the snow was really heavy. It was beed up on the hood at red lights then blow off. You could see it blowing on the road. I was worried that they might call off school once I got back home but I guess its not going to STICK around long. LOL

Happy Valentines Day
We don't have any big plans b/c Matthew has no idea what time he'll get off. Yesterday he got off at 2:30... which is really good but when you don't know from day to day then it can be frustrating! He went in at 7am so he'll at least work till 3:30pm. I guess I'll just try and have the house SPOTLESS so all he has to do it come in and relax. Maybe I'll light some candles around the house ;) wink wink
American Idol
Well I went straight to Crystal's blog this morning to leave my comments about the show last night but she hasn't posted about it yet! I can't believe this!!! I guess I'll have to do it for her. I'm not really a big fan of AI... usually I just watch the auditions and thats it but I had some extra time last night so I watched it.
I thought the boys group that mixed it up were good. I'm not sure if they could sing or if the change just caught everyone off guard. I thought the boy with the fro looked like Jack Osbourne.
I felt really really bad for Bayley (i think thats how she spells it). I wish they would have given her a second chance. I wanted to knock those other two girls out! Maybe she'll be the wild card... who knows.
I also felt bad for the black girl who sang what her momma wanted her to sing. The worse part is... thats going to haunt her for the rest of her life.... well maybe not the rest of it but at least for a while.
I thought the part about gay guy who had such an 'emotional' time could have been left out of the show... I mean do we really need to hear about his family problems. Do you think that little episode might effect how people vote for him?
Do you already have a favorite? I like Bayley but I'm not sure who I'll pull for now.

The Mess
Little Miss Darcy.... She's into everything! She makes me laugh even when trying to discipline her.

Its been a while
since I've last posted. I've not had a lot of time since Matthew's been working soooooo stinkin much.
Saturday morning (okay so it was afternoon) I was laying on the couch thinking about how I didn't feel like doing anything (I was having a 'moment')... when all the sudden Darcy started screaming "Daddy!!! Daddy!!!" I looked up and there he was.... He had gotten off half a day! We spent the rest of the day playing in the floor with the kids. We also managed to get outside for a little bit.
Saturday night we layed on the couch and watched a PPV movie... this was probably the first time in MONTHS that we've been able to do this alone. We rented The World Trade Center.... it was sooo good but I was soooo emotional. It took me a long time to get everything out of my head that night. We were going to try and watch All the Kings Men but it didn't come on until an hour after the first movie ended and we couldn't keep ourselves awake that long.
Sunday we slept in.... okay so it was around 7:30am but thats sleeping in for a man who's been getting up at 3:30 for the last 2 weeks! I made breakfast and we slowly got everyone ready. We packed up and headed to town LOL aka Alabaster! We decided we'd better eat lunch so we grabbed some Arby's and headed to his parents house to visit. Our plans were to go to Lowe's and to Walmart (and to take the kids) but once we were at his parents house things changed. We stayed over there for a little while and then his parents ended up watching them while we ran to Lowe's and Walmart. We got back to our house around 6 and spent the rest of the night wishing we'd had more time together.... A day and a half is just not long enough after going 2 weeks without seeing each other!
side notes:
Matthew got an ipod from his parents for his birthday.... the BIG one! It holds 7,000 songs! I asked him if we could share and he said NO! He said he wouldn't be anywhere without it so I wouldn't be able to use it! LOL His b'day is the 19th. He'll be the big TWENTY SEVEN!!!! We were going to have a b'day party for him but I canceled it b/c he's supposed to be working all weekend... but he was supposed to have worked this past weekend.... I guess we'll see.
Jacob says Momma. Jeremiah dances while standing up and holding on to things.
Darcy's hair is getting soooooo long. I'm afraid that when I cut it her curls will fall out.... thats what happened to Jessica's.
Jessica has been a BIG help with the kids since Matthew's been working a lot. She finally finished the dreaded science fair project!
Oscar has been visiting since Saturday b/c my parents went out of town. The kids love him!

Matthew's B'day Party
Matthew will turn 27 on the 19th.
I'm having some folks over for a ice cream party.
What are some toppings I should buy?
Long Week
Matthew has worked a lot of overtime this week. Monday he didn't get off until 10 something and the rest of the week he's gotten off between 6pm and 7pm. He has to be at work by 5:30am... it takes him an hour to get there!
momma is ready to pull her hair out after being a single mom for a week... but guess what? its not over!!!! he's working this weekend and all next week will probably be the same crazy hours.
Thank God for the money but I miss my honey!

Ghetto Talk
Darcy calls her brothers "Da brothers" I think its cute! She can say their names but its so much easier to just say "da brothers!"
