Mom... hurry up with my supper! Posted by Picasa

Like my new Look

Crystal did it :)

yeah and she put one of those counters on here too... and since yesterday evening 71 people have passed through... or either my friends check my blog a zillion times a day :)

Pretty neat either way.

Say a prayer!

I'm keeping Zachery today... he and jessica have already been fussing at each other! My sister called me the other night b/c she needed help this week... I only offered to keep him today... then the next night she called back to tell me that she was going to need help until school started back. I asked her what days she needed help and she said "well if you don't keep him then I'll have to take him to work" I can't believe her!!!!!!!!!!! It really frustrates me that she'd have the nerve to ask me and then to try and make me feel guilty! So far I haven't told her anything... I am trying to find a nice way to tell her no way!

Diaper Bags

A couple of weeks ago Cori and I had a garage sale. A lady came through with this really cool purse that she's made herself. She said she makes diaper bags too... well she gave us her number b/c she said she only charged $35... well if you look on ebay they sale for $50 or upwards... I CAN'T FIND HER NUMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so frustrated b/c I really want a cute diaper bag. I have one that I got a babies R us but its tooo big and bulky... so i've been using the black similac one that the dr. gives you... I want a cute one!!!!! Do any of you know of a place around here or someone that makes them????

PS Matt's dad came over yesterday and we ordered Darcy's new carseat... I'm sooooo excited!

Bring back the MOJO

what's mojo anyways???? Doesn't it mean the thrill in your sex life??? well don't get me wrong we've got it but we just don't get it much anymore due to our crazy life.

1.) I've really got to spice up things a bit... I just filled out the little questionaire that I sent all of you (well you got it if i have your email address)... i put that i would buy underwear... is that sad or what! my underwear is the walmart special that you can buy 6 in a pack for $4! Most of them are made all wrong and never really fit the right way. I think I need to invest in some sexy under garments.

2.) I saw on Oparah (don't laugh) that if your bedroom is clean and nice then your sex life is really good. so i've got to make our bedroom more relaxing... any suggestions... other than just cleaning it :)

3.) My husband does not have what he purchased... i've gained weight! I don't even recogonize the person in the mirror! I'm going to start walking and I've got to follow through with it!

Any other suggestions on 'How To Bring Back the Mojo'... all comments welcomed but keep them clean ;)

just wasting time

so yesterday matt was told he'd be working 6 10 hour days and 1 8 hour day... that means SEVEN DAYS A WEEK!!!! This is going to be really tough on him and us too. My husband is the kinda of man that doesn't let others wait on him. If he wants something to drink then he gets it himself ... even when i'm in the kitchen or getting myself something!!! Sometimes it really drives me crazy! If he comes home and I'm cleaning then he starts cleaning too! Its soooo annoying b/c i don't want him to feel like he has to help me. So I decided that it was really important for me to keep the house clean so that when he gets home he can relax. You guys will definitely agree with me when I say its hard to sit down when so much needs to be done. Yesterday Jessica helped me clean up. We started in the kitchen... we wiped the walls, baseboards, window seals, cleaned the windows, wiped down the cabinets and counters and all the other normal clean the kitchen things. We moved into the Living Room where we dusted and windexed... put everything up and vacuumed... I even cleaned off my computer table! Then into the Den... we pulled everything off the entertainment center and dusted. We dusted the everything in the den and vacuumed... we folded and PUT AWAY 3 loads of clothes!!!! We stopped there for the day... my back was killing me!!!!

Things I really should be doing now... my bedroom is definitely not a place for romance or relaxation... I've got to get it under control!!!! And our bathroom is small but very nasty! Yes nasty! I would be very embarrased if any of you saw it right now. Darcy's room and Jessica's room has been kept pretty clean.

PS I had supper ready for Matt when he got home... and enough for his lunch today... chicken cassarole :)

Jaiden and Mommy

I know that Tina will need everything for the baby... its just going to be her and baby. Me and some girls from church are planning a shower for her on Aug. 7th. If you guys would like to come I know she'd appreciate it. She used to go to Kingwood so some of you might know her.

As soon as she's released from the hospital we're going to register at Babies R Us. The baby will probably be there until he reaches his birthdate or gain enough weight.

I took my camera last night but got all caught up in the moment and didn't take any pictures! I'll go by there again soon.

He's a cutie! Everything on him looks perfect... he's just tiny!!!!

Baby arrived early!

Tina Howard wasn't due until Aug. 28th but she gave birth Sunday! Baby is doing fine... mom is doing better. It was a real close call for Tina... they really thought they might lose her. She was able to get out of bed today. Her blood pressure was so high that her organs started shutting down!

Baby Jaiden Maddox Howard weighted in at 3lbs and 5 ounces... 16 1/2 inches long. Mom and baby are at Shelby in rm 288. Well baby is actually in NICU.

We were in the middle of planning her baby shower but he arrived early... we have it set for Aug 7th (sunday). She's going to register as soon as they let her out. She's going to need everything. Please be praying for her and her family.

you just missed it... she just fell out of the bottom of this thingy... i think its called the flush or something.. its a slide in a tunnel that goes really fast but then dumps you in bowl and you spin around... just like your toilet does... then you just drop out... never feet first! Posted by Picasa

We were waiting for Jessica to come down the slide. Posted by Picasa
