It's almost that time again....

    Yep, it's time to start shopping again. We have Blake's birthday this month, Halloween in October, Thanksgiving in November, and of course we can't forget about Christmas in December. But luckily I am a little ahead of the game. I've already started my shopping. Of course leave it to me to start Halloween shopping as soon as everything starts hitting the shelves. I love sugar skulls and everything dark and demonic. So for my household, these aren't just Halloween decorations... it's just normal, everyday decor. As for Christmas, well I'm quite a bit ahead of the game on that as well. Yesterday I ordered our Christmas tree and all the fixings. I never really bother with decorating for Thanksgiving, I always focus more on the meal than the decor.
    I can't wait to show off all my decor once the holidays actually hit. I am so excited about this year's Halloween decorations and the Christmas tree and decor that I have already picked out. (In case you haven't noticed Halloween and Christmas are my two favorite.) I plan to do a little more shopping today and hopefully a little more Friday. But as of this week I will be focusing on rearranging the house. I already got a good start on our bedroom, but can't really start in on the kids rooms until they go back to school tomorrow.
    Brandi also contributed to our redecorating. She ordered some new pictures of the kids and picked up picture frames yesterday. So instead of rearranging the living room we will be adding quite a few pictures to our walls. (I'm going to need a bigger house before too much longer.)
     Which brings me to yet another topic. Brandi and I have been throwing the idea of moving around. Unless something changes, we are looking into leaving Texas all together. It's not set in stone just yet, but so far it looks like Oklahoma may become our new home state. We haven't made our minds up completely, but if we want a bigger home at an affordable rate, it looks like this may be the route we have to take. But we are giving ourselves close to a year to make a final decision. This way we are giving ourselves more than enough time to find something that perfectly suits our household.
    Anyway there you have it... all of our exciting news for now. Hopefully Friday I will have even more exciting news to share with all of you. Bright blessings lovelies. I hope you are all healthy and well with exciting news of your own to share. I can't wait to read all about it.

This week in review

-
   I would be lying if I said this week has been any easier than the ones it followed. It's actually been more hectic than the weeks before. With school being out longer than what was originally foreseen, well it's been a pain in the ass. I'm actually hoping that school decides to tack on a week or two once they do return. This momma needs a break. But if we are being completely honest... I wish they would continue the school year through most of the summer.. or at very least offer summer schooling. I think that would be considered fair since my kids fight me so hard on doing their school work and turning it in on time. Homeschooling is definitely not for the faint of heart. It will drive you insane.     On the plus side of things, we got a midweek visit from Daddy. His load schedule allowed him to come home for 24 hours in between loads. So yay for us. Brandi and I both needed some Daddy time. The kids weren't so happy to see him though. They were all in trouble for g

In my feelings

                                       Okay, so I'll admit that lately the lack of a relationship with my parents has been weighing heavily on me. I look at my kiddos and see all the joy and happiness they bring me and wonder how can any parent not want that with their own flesh and blood... or with any child they lay claim to? My kids are the very reason I live and breath. While yes, there are plenty of times they cause what seems like and incurable migraine, they bring me so many happy moments as well.     I never got the feeling that I made either of my parents happy at any point. My father raised 3 children that were not his and didn't even meet me until I was 12. Then he didn't return until I was 17. Sad to say our moral values didn't align and that relationship was short lived. My mother raised me, mostly, but we never had a connection either. In fact most of my life I felt that I was a mistake and unwanted. That didn't change in my adult life either.        I

Just popping in

    Since quite a few of my followers only knew me by my blog, I've decided to do random pop ins. I wanted to let you all know that I am doing amazing. I've really been enjoying life. Daily visits to the park, and using my extra time to take care of myself. Today was a manicure, shopping, and girl time with my SIL. I'm currently on a trip out of town with the hubby to do some more shopping for myself and little man and a dinner date with my love.
