I tried!!!

have a hard time being motivated to go to church - especially when Hottie is at work. But I try and say a little pray on Sunday mornings to help me find the motivation and hope that things go well.
Today I woke and I decided that we were going and said my little prayer....
Church starts at 1PM - I got my shower at 11:30, decided what dress to wear, realized that it needed to be ironed, find my iron (since most of our clothes don't require ironing), iron, get dressed..... Bring the kids church clothes upstairs to get them ready, sit on the floor getting them dressed, stand up - a button pops off my dress, OK, go change, pack the diaper bag, give the kids something to eat, go in the bathroom to do my hair and makeup, the time is now 12:43, come out of the bathroom ---what's that smell??? Little Man barfed all over himself and the floor, wiped it on the wall, and then went a rolled around on Mic's bed...... So I called my in-laws since they are in our ward and they came and got DD so she could go. Then of course I had to scrub the floor, change the bedding, wash the walls, and bath the 2 year old...
I do get at least get points for trying, right????

Kicking the Habit......

So I removed my ticker that was counting how many days I had gone without soda. I actually went about 3 weeks without ANY and then I have had a few here and there but nothing compared to the 4-5 cans a day I was drinking before. I feel pretty good! At first I really noticed that my jeans were fitting more loosely - but then we got sick and I drank more than I should have and then early this week Hottie was given a case of coke for helping a high school class with some training - that was not good.... Well it was yummy good - but not good for my goal. I have gone today without one!! yeah!!

FREE MONEY!!!

This is a new company set up by Steve Case the founder of Apple - it's a company that will hopefully become competition for Paypal. Anyway right now they are offering $25 when you sign up for this site. I know lots of people who have done it and I have too!! Seriously all you need to do is sign up - add a bank account like you do on Paypal and you can withdraw the money!! Who doesn't love free money?

What's up?

So I haven't posted for awhile. I don't really know why. I guess life gets in the way sometimes.
We have been working on remodeling a couple of rooms in our house and that has taken up pretty much every minute we have when Hottie's home.
Mic has had a couple of eye doctor appointments...she'll probably need glasses soon.
C-Man is starting to talk a little more which is great.
And this past week we have been pretty sick. I started getting sick on Monday - with a cough. That turned into fever, chills, sinus issues, earaches, etc. Then Wednesday Mic woke up and told me that her "throat was coming out". She had a fever and an earache. Matt took her to the doctor and of course she has a sinus and ear infection. Then yesterday - Caleb woke up with a fever and runny nose. It's been a crazy week. Matt called in sick on WEdnesday to help me with the kids since I couldn't hardly get up off the couch. We are starting to feel better now.
