Good morning!  I'm hiding out over here waiting for an hour to pass since wake up time so I can eat.  I'm starving.  This is the biggest pain of the thyroid med.  No food for an Hour---when your pregnant thats a LONG time.

My kids are eating breakfast with daddy.  They were very disgruntled this morning, because he didn't serve it the second he came downstairs.  There were small details to deal with like starting a fire--so we don't freeze.  Its like 48 degrees this morning. BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Last night I told Samuel "Ok, its time to go to bed."  He said, "no, it isn't look at my watch".  Of course a 3 year old doesn't wear a watch..... LOL

I thoroughly enjoyed Bible Study yesterday.  We took a break from our Study and watched a video Called "In the Beginning"  its the Genesis story.  Fairly well done.  My kids of course interuppted several times.  But oh well.

Yesterday was a lazy moms day.   I did NOT do anything with my kids.  I didn't even take them outside to play on the playground equipment.  And I paid for it they did NOT NOT NOT want to go to sleep. 

Today is soccer practice, so I can't be too lazy.  And it will help wear them all out

My brother & sil FINALLY got the renters out of their house.  So they can move back in.  First they have to fix all the damage done by them.  They have a beautiful log house.  The carpet is probably toast.  There were cob webs hanging everywhere.  The renters decided to put a room length shelf with metal screws into their logs.  Leaving big holes when they remove them.   And so on & so forth.  Its not as bad as the damage as when I rented my house.  (We hauled $500 worth of garbage to the dump--after they departed)  But for my poor sil whose a major perfectionist its 100% horrifying. 

Oh well at least she's out of the 5th wheel they've been living in with their 2 girls for the past 9 months while they were out of the area working on getting my brother his paramedic training.  It was a LONG haul for them.  But now he has a excellent job, one he loves, and a good boss.

Father God, I'm spacey today.  And already saying things to my family that are unnecessary.  I'm sorry for the cranks.  I ask that you would help me to be an encourager not a snipper.  And to enjoy my family today.  Enable me to get done what needs to be done--and let the rest go realizing tomorrow is another day.  Protect my family today, and the life growing inside me.  In your sons name Amen. 

What life is all about.....

Soooooooooo I've been lurking and posting at "the" site again.  The one I left awhile back due to some harassment by a individual there.

Anyhoo....I went to the board today, and the mom has conviently changed her user name.  And I almost fell for it.  She posted a VERY controversial subject---directed at me & only one other mom. 

*sigh*  I HATE, HATE, HATE, having to watch myself this carefully.  #$@*(#$@#  ok I've got that out of my system.

Oh and once again she lied....at least according to what she told me in the past...........can I prove it NO!  And a very good friend---the other mom who the post was aimed at is falling for it,  I tried to warn her, but she's e-mailing her anyhow. 

I so do NOT want to see that friend hurt.  But she probably thinks I'm being suspicious and such rot.  *sigh*

Heard today in the car;   Mom, Ewicka (ericka)  ate some grass today--she said it was good......Oh really,  I ate some too---it didn't taste disgusting.  I can't wait to tell my sil this.  She'll be horrified her little girls don't do dirty things like that (she thought)

Heard this afternoon while nursing....Kaylin tried to latch on onto my tummy.  Hey that's not the milk machine the milk machine's up here.  She scoots a little further up---and latches on.  Samuel comes over to investigate.  Mom!  that's not the 'chine.  That's the b'east. 

Good morning!  Yesterday was a good day.  Rob finished the framing on the Lean-to.  And was totally stoked.  So, the next step is digging & leveling the dirt, insulating, putting up OSB, and hauling in gravel.  Then the concrete.  Someday there may be a end in sight!  But unfortunately Friday he takes out my Washing Machine and Dryer (sniff sniff)  So the laundromat will become my friend for a couple weeks. YUCK!

I talked fast enough hehehe and got Rob to let Zeria play soccer.  She's so cute out there.  And there team is hillarious.  They are really too young to play soccer, but they have so much fun.  And there coach is unfaililng patient, as yet another team member wanders off to sit with mommy for a break. LOL

I'm really looking forward to this, because the moms that are involved are a LOT of fun, and it means mom time to visit etc.  So this should be GOOD.  Of course it means driving, but thats ok, its the only thing I drive for and its only barely 2 months long.

We had a nice night out last night.  Beings Tuesday was declared date night because we had the picnic Monday night.  Don't ever take a pregnant woman to a fancy restaurant though.   I ordered a NICE meal that was very $$ and took one whiff and that was it.  OOPS.  So I ate about 10 bites, and asked for a doggie bag.  We put it in the doggie bag and carried it to the car.  The smell of it was so grose we finally ended up throwing it away.

What did the pregnant woman end up eating?  Well about 2 hours later my stomache finally forgave me, and I ate----a Subway sandwich.  No nasty smells, and lots of veggies and protein. MMM MMM

Rob is rolling his eyes the whole time.  And has requested I do NOT order the shrimp anymore---the smell was even grosing him out

Bible Study today, so that will be nice.  Rob is bundling the kids up to go for a walk as we speak, so my house will be quiet for a little bit.  My only kids break today.  I LOVE quiet. LOL

Father God, thank you so much for the kids sleeping in today.  And for the break Rob gave me.  I pray that you would help us to have a peaceful day today, and one where we worship you.  I pray that the kids would enjoy each other and not squabble today.  And that I would stay energetic enough to function with them.  In your sons name Amen. 

Good morning.  Well yesterday day was a total bomb.  I was so tired and so miserable.  But yesterday evening turned out to be a LOT of fun  

My parents had a impromptu labor Day weekend picnic at their house and invited any and all.  About 70 people came.  And it was a LOT of fun.  The kids enjoyed themselves.  Rob got to visit with men (doesn't happen very often due to his work schedule)  And I got to visit none stop with varying women.  It was a pleasant suprise after dragging all day long.

Today its back to the lean-to grind.  Rob will be out there framing again.  I will have to do another lumber run (again)  And so on and so forth.  We'll see how this day goes.

At least I slept last night, so that makes a BIG difference. 

Father God, I ask for your peace today.  For me not to dwell on things I can't fix.  And give you control of my life.  Let me trust you, and rely on you to get the things done that need to be done.  And to let go of those that can't be done. 

3 years ago this weekend.  I got my kids.  I can't believe its been so long ago, and yet it seems such a short time ago.

Thank you God for the gift of them.  And for bringing them into my life.  Thank you for how much they've grown and changed.  I love them.

In your sons name, Amen

Good morning,  I'm so glad that my husband is not working today.  I was up until 3:00 last night with my back spasaming.  And though I've never had a hangover I have a good imagination what it feels like.  I'm so tired, and sore.  And exhausted.  I write in my blog today, just so I know I did.  Then I hope to go lay on the couch and see if some of the acheys can go away.

We have a picnic this afternoon at my parents house.  The kids should have a ton of fun there.  Me I'm too tired to care.

Father God, I hurt all over, and have no great words to say.  Except. HELP!  Amen

The Sunday morning kids.  Aren't they adorable. 

Good morning,  My kids decided morning started at 6:30 this morning.  IMHO that is entirely too early!  *sigh*

Yesterday was the worlds longest day.  The only good thing was the rain stopped eventually--and dad came home eventually. 

Samuel decided that whining was the mode of the day and he whined and whined and whined and whined.  They've been so good lately, I was in shock and at a loss of how to handle it.  LIke I said it was a loooooooooooong day. 

Rob came home and was awesome--he kicked me out of the house.  YEAH!  So I went into town and read my book and did a tiny bit of shopping.  I'm now able to handle today (I think lol)

This morning we have church.  And the kids always love that.  I think its Zeria's last day in her 2s&3s class--she gets promoted on move-up Sunday next week.  She is so ready to move up.  The other class is too babiesh, and she's been having trouble.  This unfortunately means though that from now on I have to have her with me during Church--as Jr. Church only happens from the sermon on.  So I'll be running herd on two kids. (yippie!) NOT

Oh its potluck Sunday today.  So we will stay for that too.  Unless the kids are too tired.  We'll see. 

Father God, I'd much rather be in bed.  I'm tired and whiney myself--shouldn't have stayed up so late reading.  Please let this day be one that honours you.  And allow me to be a witness to those around me.  I love you,  Tonia

Ok I'll try again in the morning when there's better light...but if you use your imagination...here's a picture of James.  My kids foster mom visited him this week and sent this to me.
