Cabin Fever
Well yesterday I realized that I had become a victim of cabin fever. Don't get me wrong I am getting used to the fact that I have somehow become a housewife, and it is not all that bad, I just don't have much to do. All the kids are in school, and you can only clean so much (in my case I could probably do more), and I just get really BORED. Yesterday, I almost went crazy. I finally decided to go to the Dollar General and CVS to pick up some things. When I returned home, I took the girl and we rode around until it was time to go to church. I have decided if I don't get a job, I need some friends to play with. Because sitting in the house can drive you MAD.

Easter 2010
I would have to say that Easter 2010 is at the top of my list for "Best Easter Ever!"
First off, we had a family bbq at my grandma's on Saturday. One of my aunts was down from New Jersey. Its always good to see family that you haven't seen in awhile. There were about 11 little kids (all cousins and noone over the age of 12), plus the teenagers, and the what I like to call the used to be's. We used to be the children, but we are the ones with the children. Then you had the "older" adults and the senior citizens. We were all in one house having a good time. It got a little noisy at times, but it was fun. Some of the "used to be's" made easter baskets for the little ones and helped them dye eggs. Then the teenagers hid the eggs for the Easter egg hunt. Then there was the YUMMY food! It was great!
But I have to say the highlight of this Easter was the church service today. The choir performed "East to West." Which I thought was wonderful! But I am over-joyed with the fact that my 2 oldest children decided to dedicated their lives to Jesus! That was AWESOME! I am so proud of them! I just hope that I can continue to be a light for them and continue to lead on the right path. I also hope that I am able to be a light to others and help them to come to know Jesus. I know that I could not have made this journey with out the special people that God put in my life at just the right time. I just want to thank Brother Chuck and Jame' for being an excellent influence in the lives of all my children. You will never know how thankful I am. And to all those who I did not name, but have been there for my children and help to guide them and help them learn about Jesus, I am truly thankful.
This has been the Best Easter ever!

Ugh...!
Well today I figured something out. I am BIG! And I know what I am about to say is going to shock some people. My sweet husband, just informed me of this also. Calm down, I give him permission to do this, I actually encourage it. Just so I know where I am. Well back to what I was saying. I have decided I am going to get back on the wagon that I feel off of about 1.5 years ago. The weight loss wagon. I had actually lost about 50 lbs. I have now gained it and some back. Luckily I don't have any health issues. BP is good, no pre-diabetes, ect. I just need to do this for me so I can feel better about myself, fit into some of my clothes, and be a good example for the children. So I have rededicated my self to this mission.
Wish me luck!

Winn-Dixie
I usually go to Winn-Dixie because its the closest grocery store to my house. The prices may not be a reasonable as some of the other stores, but I go there anyway. And complain about the prices while I am there. Don't get me wrong, sometimes they do have some good specials; and believe me I jump on them. But lately they have been having some really GOOD deals. They call them "Meal Deals." They range from pizzas to hams. If you purchase the "featured item" you get 4 pre-determined items for free. Well this week I purchased a spiral glazed ham and recieved a tub of macaroni and chees, a half gallon of Breyers Ice Cream, a 2 liter coke product, and a pack of Hawaiian King rolls. All for just $21.00!! Now that's a deal. When I see one of Winn-Dixie's "meal deals" I jump on it. I'm trying to feed a family of 5 and it helps save a little money. Kudos to Winn-Dixie on this one.

Why??
Have you ever just wondered why? I don't have any regrets, just sometimes I look back and wonder why? If it is meant for me to know, God will show it to me.
Just a little bit of what was on my mind.

Made a Mistake
I just realized I made a mistake. The kids have all been a little under the weather, so I went and bought a new thermometer to check their temps. Well somehow I showed them what to do with it and now every 5 minutes they are checking their own temps, to see if they are sick. I wish I had never shown them how to use it. All I hear now is "Beep (as the thermometer comes on)! Am I sick now Mommy? Beep (As the the thermometer goes off)!
On a another note... Darrick found ET on HBO OnDemand and decided to let the kids watch it. They LOVED it. Sarah loved it so much she got up this morning and watched it again. Any time she had to move away from the tv she would say "Pause it Mommy, so I don't miss anything." Mind you she just watched it yesterday. While watching it she would tell me what was going to happen or say something like "you've got to see this Mommy, Watch! Watch! Watch! Did you see that?" I thought it was SOOOO cute. Smiling just thinking about it now.
As you can see there is not much to my days. :)

Klutz...
So I decided to play softball with my church's team. Mind you I have never played one day of softball in my entire life. The only experience I have had with a softball was tossing one with my friend back in high school and get a nice kisser for my efforts.
When I told my husband and the rest of my family they all said the same thing, "What, with your two left feet? You know you just twisted your ankle. You don't know anything about softball!" And I said its for fun, and I'm going to do it. Well last Monday was our first practice, and it went pretty well. No injuries, and I even did half way decent out there. I left feeling really good about playing. Yesterday was our second practice...
I get out there all ready to play and have a good practice again. While warming up it happened. No, I didn't re-twist my ankle, I took a softball to the face. The chin to be exact. It hit me pretty hard, but it didn't feel anything like when I was hit back in high school. I felt my jaw pop, so I just kind of slapped it back in place, shook it off and kept on warming up. Well during practice I felt my chin and could feel that it was swollen a little; and it kept tingling during practice. But me being me, kept on practicing. By the time practice was over, it was really hurting. Noone said anything during practice so I didn't think it was that bad.
Well when I got home my husband said it was HUGE. He called my mom and they had a good laugh at my expense, which didn't really bother me. They both said I needed to stop playing, and I said no. Well I finally looked at it and it was HUGE and hurting pretty bad. I finally decided to go to the hospital after talking to my friend who is a nurse. On a side note: I didn't want to go to the same hospital I went to for my ankle because nowadays, if you go with too many injuries they start making notes, and my friend said they would suspect domestic violence, and we all know that didn't happen, I'm just a true klutz. Luckily it wasn't broken, because I sure didn't want to get my mouth wired shut. But it did continue to grow. By the time I went home I looked like Shrek. I had an awful time sleeping, make that trying to sleep, and I am dead tired this morning. As soon as the kids get out for school, I am going to try to get some more sleep.
Here's to being a Klutz.
