Open House Today 1-3

So we have not tried a Saturday open house, thought we would give it a shot. Havent blogged in a while. Do you know how much work it is to keep a house in "show worthy" condition with 3 1/2 kids? Egads!!! I ran around like a mad woman this week with appointments, birthday preparations and just general shopping. Grocery shopping is one of my absolute fav's because it is a justified time of money spending, love!

I am getting big like a house, stink. I had hoped that since I was in such great shape before getting pregnant that my body would cut me some slack this time.....not the way it is happening. Oh well. It is as though my body is in revolt and insists on putting everything back on in a short time frame and then adding more baby weight. Ugh! Oh well, I lose pretty well after baby so I will hope in that. Last time being pregnant so I am gonna go BIG......literally.

TV. Love the show The Voice. C and I have pulled it up on hulu all week and enjoyed watching it again and again. Such talent based soley on the voice, love. C keeps spending money on artists he is coming across and liking. Bless that man, he spends money two and three times before he realizes I am trying to keep us in a budget. Oh well, as my friend says, C'est la vie. Good thing I love him so!

Ok, gonna go get the house ready for the potential buyers! Pray please for our home to sell.

Nuttin' Honey

I dont feel like there has been anything blog worthy to type about lately. We are still trying to sell our home. I am still pregnant. Girls are still in school. Here are some of the things I have been doing: Not going to the club Gearing up for homeschooling next year Keeping my house at an immaculate level of cleanliness (super easy with kiddos! NOT) Staying on top of the laundry Having open houses every 2-3 weeks Spending quality time with the fam in the evening Walking to the mail box alone in the evening with C Letting the girls clean up the kitchen after dinner, LOVE Eating......lots of things, from black licorice to eggo waffles Sleeping a lot Loving that my second trimester hair is being cooperative Operating a cash budget, LOVE Couponing Loving that C is growing a stash, totally hot! Running kids here, there and everywhere Saw my Dani friends new house Visited the state capital with the fam. Got out just in time before someone tried to storm the governors office, eek! Cooking dinners that my family loves! That about sums it up for now. Will write more when I have something witty to say~J~

Waiting

On so many things. Waiting on a buyer, waiting on a move, on a baby. Exciting times really. God is showing me patience, **grumble**. As you may know I usually pray for others to change rather than me to be patient . I have moments where I get anxious and need to do something, but God has brought me back several times to a place of contentment. By no means am I suggesting that I do nothing in the mean time of this "wait", but I have to "prepare the fields for blessing." So that is what I am doing. Just being ready with my house, being a good steward with my resources, and taking lots of time with my family while we wait. Please pray for God to bring our buyer! C and I have been blessed with lots of family time lately. Even when he is working a bunch, we have had our evenings together. The Parkers bought us a wii back in January and wowza, that is where our time has been spent. We recently discovered Mario Kart and have not been watching tv. I like a good criminal show every now and then, but mostly our time has been on the wii I am not gonna lie. C and I are a bit competitive. Rant***winco is full of criminals. Good grief. I like their bulk food bins, but for the love people. Parent Your Children! These are not free sample bins. Get your kids greasy hands out of there. I will not be eating out of there, less black licorice, for some time. Sick! Bad parenting, or not parenting really pushes me over the edge. C had to pull me out of the section as I was patroling the kids coming thru and grazing. Really preterbs me! Then we go to our car and there is a shady guy combing the parking lot. Really? Criminals! C called it in and wouldnt you know, the guys disappeared as soon as the 50 got there. Ugh! Not going to winco.
