We had a pretty relaxing tonight and it was nice. The kids are settling in and it feels more comfortable. We don't have to spend every waking moment together.. we all just do our own things and come together at meals. We do spend time together besides at meal time but its really relaxed!
Husby has really been helping out over the last few days. Its been nice to not have to do as much. He worked hard in the kitchen and has stayed busy around the house today with laundry, shopping and just about everything else too. Having so many people in the house is a bit more complex but we are making it work. We have tomorrow the same but then Tuesday my sister and her boyfriend will be here too for a couple days. WOW.. that's a lot of people! I have no idea what we are planning on doing but I bet we have fun! I really appreciate Scott's help around here. It sure has made things easier.
I have been working on some post but right now I am buzzing around here with the baby and the kids.. leaving very little time for blogging. My grand daughter is as cute as she can be but at a loud stage. She is almost 2 years old and is very busy testing everything out. And we have another little girl on the way! Before you know it, I will be holding another new born. I love the kids being here. I love the laughter in the house..I just wish ALL the kids were here.. and that we had even a bigger house where we all all fit comfortably. Its a great dream but in the mean time we will take them as they come and make the house we have work. This is actually the biggest house we have lived in so we are moving in the right direction.
Tomorrow I plan on starting to do some reviews. It will take a few days to figure out all that I still have to do, then work on the post and then the videos. I am not sure at this point what needs to be reviewed but I am pretty sure I have a lot of reviews coming up. With as many beauty products as I have, and as little time as I have.. its not easy to remember which ones I need to talk about. But going to for sure be working on more of those. Plus I have a lot of movie reviews coming up. That list just keeps getting longer and longer. I am guessing by Thursday night or Friday things will be pretty much back to normal around here. Laura and Ashlynn will head back and Jerred will stay here. But he will be working Scott's hours and won't be here much. I think they are coming back in a few weeks for Spring break. I think they found some apartments and are going to work towards getting into them.
I do have to run to the market tomorrow. I need to get a few things for dinner that I did indeed forget. Yea. not too happy about it but will be getting stuff for Mexican night. Its a late dinner and it needs to be easy. And it will give me time to look for coupons again before going.
I got the nicest comment I had in a while the other day.. I thought I would share it..
I admire your commit to your husband and family. When I first started reading your posts I got to say, it was a little annoying. Your life seemed so charmed. As time has gone by, I have seen you as a woman who is devoted to family and your marriage. It is a great thing to see your struggles and know that I have the same ones. I feel like I am surrounded by people who can't be happy or have a good marriage. Thank you so much for sharing your life with me. Thank you for showing that it is a charmed life to have the man you love, and to struggle.
This was found on last weeks Married Life Post that you can find HERE. I found this so nice because some time anothers life looks so good but really...it shares the same problems as everyone else. Its never easy to manage a bunch of lives coming together. I do love my husband with all my heart and I want this to work... so I am putting in the effort. The no cell phone thing is working pretty good. We have all been a little more mindful of it and no one in this house is putting their phone first right now. I love hearing from you guys so keep those emails coming in. My life is far from perfect.. but we sure try to take a more laid back approach.. we laugh hard.. we love hard.. and sometimes we fight hard.. But the family Scott and I created..is beautiful. I feel blessed, I really do.
Time for bed
Have a great Monday.
