Oh Geez

Today was a busy but great day! Matt preached a great sermon followed by a pizza party, and our Fantasy Football draft. Brandon and Lex are in Wilmington @ youth group and me and boys are watching the Bears game on now. Westmoreland family isn't feeling too hot today. Boo! We came home and I tried to take a nap but that didn't work out the way I was hoping...very sporadic, not restful outcome. Not good. So after my "nap" I'm still tired. We are getting ready to start our Bible Study semester in this next week, that's so nice. I'm looking forward to getting to know the people that signed up for our group! I am feeling like a complete and utter failure today. I just get so overwhelmed SO easily and it is really beyond aggravating. I seem more sensible than I've been acting lately..I really don't know what's going on. Did I mention that I'm on vacation for the next 10 days?!? Well I am and you can bet your bottom dollar I am elated! I've already filled up Monday, Tues, and Friday with vision and dentist appointments for just about every member of our family...Zekie is the only exception. But I'm happy to only have that and school on my plate this week. VERY happy. This has got to be the most boring blog I have ever typed in my life, so I'll go now.

Love you, mean it

Ciao!

This is GREAT!

Just figured out out how to blog on my phone. This should work out quite nicely. Everytime I think I think I want to get a laptop, the good old blackberry comes through! Its a wonderfully gloomy day here in the Midwest. Homework is going well for me and I am up to 920 hrs! The big boys are adjusting to their school schedule quite well. Ezekiel and I have been having a good time together. He Loves starfall and is having a good time with noggin as well. Days @ work are getting less desireable for me and today was a really difficult day. I've been thinking a lot about the influence I have over my household and I've been feeling just horrible about it. I am just so not the mother or wife that I envisioned for myself. Not entirely without lack of trying....I could put in a better effort in more areas but I just feel SO defeated and its hard to get motivated when you feel like you've lost before you've gotten into gear. Really need to work on responding because I react FAR more than I should. I need a great deal of help in that area. We are supposed to get some family time in this weekend that I am really looking forward to. Gotta run.

Love you, mean it.

Hello

I've been saying this a lot but I really miss blogging. I used to do it daily...but then again, my life was a lot less complicated then. Anywho.. HI! I don't even really know where to start. So I'll start with the present. Christian AND Nehemiah are going to school on Thursday! My 2nd born is going to Kindergarten!!!!! WOW! Time is flying! He is so excited, and Christian told him today that when he sees him, he will play with him on the playground! That's a sweet 7 year old I have! Life is going to be so different with just Pumkin Pie @ home! He's going to miss his big brothers SO much. I hope he adjusts well, and quickly! School is going well for me. I really like being there. We are in Anatomy and Physiology right now...which means a lot of workbook work ( 51 pages) so that will be occupying a good amount of time for the next few weeks. One of my favorite things to do is look at my time sheet and watch the hours I have left dwindle away. Our anniversary is this Friday. 8 years. Wow. Long time. We are getting old. ..well Brandon's getting old...I'm getting better. :) I don't know what we are doing or if we are doing anything...going to get lost in downtown Chi-Town doesn't seeem like that bad of an idea...who knows...we'll see what happens. I don't think I'm going to be making my way to school today. We've still got to get some last minute things for them uniforms( blue polos, blue bottoms) black dress shoes ( black sneakers for PE) I'd like to look into the "magnet" schools that are in the area...I'm not sure how I feel about this school yet...TBD. Well they are arguing...I should go.

This was nice...hopefully there is more in the near future. And perhaps more interesting...


Love you, mean it...
