I Got Me A Man!

Posted by: Gem | Comments (1)

Well, I’ve had one for a while, but browsing, I found this discription of a real man.  Yep, I’ve got me one of them! Thank you, God, because I didn’t have a clue what I was looking for when I found him. Love you honey — my real man.

Important Posts Missed!

Posted by: Gem | Comments (5)

I am such a bad blogger! In the last two weeks, I have really fallen down on the job. On the 11th, our younger daughter had her 6th birthday!!! Sweet thing — now! She was a colicky baby and if I had known anyone who had more than one I probably wouldn’t have had more children, lol. So far, she’s been the only one. She has a sweet nature, unless you cross her, will give you the shirt off her back IF it’s her idea, and loves-loves-loves to sing and dance. For her birthday, she went to Hubby’s office with him and they recorded a CD. She did 4 tracks, 3 of them one try only. It’s funny, the original ones she did in one take, Jesus Loves Me took two to get it just right.

Second missed blog post — Yesterday was my wonderful husband’s birthday! He wanted two things for his birthday (the third one isn’t for mixed company, lol), to sleep in and work on the basement. He slept til nearly 11!!!! Sleeping in for him is usually around 9am. He worked on the basement the rest of the day and got the ceiling grid completely hung. He is really on a roll with this basement with #4 on the way. We are going to have part of the basement as a playroom for the kids, that way they can get all the toys out of their rooms and have more space in there. Which is crucial considering that one of them will have a new tenant come October (well, actually a little later than that, it will be in our room for a while).

I don’t think I’ve missed any other crucial posts, but if I do, I’ll let you know! I’ve GOT to get some computer time added to the schedule (the schedule is another whole post in itself)!

This is my new blog! I just decided this minute to post an “I’ve moved” entry to my old blog and direct everyone here. Blogger has really been bugging me lately, at least here I know Andrea and Ron will help me out if I can’t figure out what I’m doing, lol! Welcome and please bear with me as I figure out all the ins and outs of Wordpress!

Cravings, Post #1

Greek Salad — specifically, feta cheese and banana peppers. I’ve read pregnant women aren’t supposed to eat soft cheeses, but what do you think Greek women eat while they’re pregnant?

Well, testing out another home. I have a couple, we’ll see how this one works. I don’t have much time to play with it, so it may be a little boring for a while. Please come again and keep checking it out, OK?

Watch Out, American Idol 2022

My little budding star has recorded her first CD! Her daddy took her to his office today and they recorded 4 tracks. Does anyone know somewhere I can upload them so you can hear them? I so want to show them off!!! She’s named her CD “Jesus Controls Everything” and even drew a picture for the cover of Jesus calming the storm. It’s so precious!!!

NEWS FLASH!!!

We have told my family, and his, so now I can tell the blog world.

Drumroll please . . .

Yep, #4 is percolating as we speak. Probably due around October 24, although that is really just a guess at this point. No, it wasn’t planned. Yes, we know what causes that, lol! Yes, we’re excited, and yes, we’re totally freaked out too. We’re trusting that God knows what he’s doing and has a plan for how we’re going to feed and house this child. I’m hoping a little for a boy so Little Dude will have a little buddy, but we’ve always just hoped for a healthy baby.

Yes, this explains the last post a LOT!

Pity Party

Posted by: Gem | Comments (0)

Do you ever have one of those days where everything makes you want to cry and you don’t really know why? Yeah, having one of those today. Unfortunately my oldest is exactly like me, so we are really clashing today. I can’t wait til she hits her teen years and we’re all moody the same time of the month. I think we’ll have to put it on the calendar so Hubby and Little Dude can vacate the house for a week. That’s not my problem right now, but everything just seems so overwhelming. Job, homelife, parenting. Sigh. Off to find some kleenex . . .

Once a Week Blogging

Posted by: Gem | Comments (0)

Sorry about that! Live is just insane around here. I am homeschooling, keeping house, and getting dinner ready all before 2pm each day, before I leave for work. The job isn’t too taxing or even that many hours (3-4 per day), just takes time out of the day. Hopefully I’ll get into a routine soon.
