Wordless Wednesday and the reasons

These are the little faces that keep me going...

JL...she's such a poser!!

JS...he's such a funny kid!

JT and UNCLE TODD...two peas in a pod!! (I'm a poet and I didn't know it!!)

Admitting..

So i'm going to admit it..I bawled all day today. I haven't cried in a long long time. I think I had fresh tears about every ten minutes. I am stressed out beyond belief. Steven is at work and school a lot this semester. He's home between 430 to 445...a whole 15 minutes everyday. I try to have dinner ready for him when he gets home so that the kids and I can actually spend some time with him. By the time he gets home at night, the kids have long ago fallen asleep.
When the Bishop found out about Steve's schedule, he told me that I was going to be released from my calling which is Activity Days. I was released from Primary today. I feel like i've been punched in the stomach.
I have been brave this whole time, trying to keep busy, and keep the kids happy. Putting on a happy face. I feel like i'm failing. With all this time on my hands, you would think that my house would be so clean, and well, I guess I thought I was doing a good job of keeping it that way, but apparantly not. I guess, I dunno...I'm failing.
Does anyone else ever have boiling over days? I've kept this all bottled up for a long time, and I think it all exploded today. I'm feeling pretty blah today...and I had to get it out, i guess.
Hope everyone else is doing well.

Oh and i'm sick of viruses being linked to my blog! I had three comments last post that had links to viruses...thanks very much. I guess i'm gonna have to put the word verification thing up. GRRR

Wordless Wednesday and the trojan horse..I mean bike

Do you think the trojans could have snuck in with a little 4 wheeler and a cute smile like that?
PS: My Wednesdays are NEVER WORDLESS are they? Oh well.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY to all those people who read my blog, who love me and who I love back!!!
This is a picture of the necklace Steven bought me for the big love day...I was so surprised!! Awww...he really does love me. It didn't take a necklace for me to know that though. He shows me and the kids all the time with his actions that he loves us. I love my Steven and my 3 beautiful kids!! I hope they know that I would do anything for any one of them.

HAPPY HAPPY LOVE DAY TO EVERYONE!!!

PS: Matchbox Twenty in only 22 days everyone...I am sooo excited!!! I'm buying my concert outfit tomorrow. WOOT WOOT

My sick little man and the cutest laundry...

Poor JT was so sick, he fell asleep on the chair one night. He woke up about 10 minutes later and cried for 2 hours. Poor kid.

He's still cute even when he's sick!

Have I mentioned how much I love laundry? I love it even more when there's a smile in the laundry basket. Ah, have I mentioned how much I love that little boy?

DONE AND DONE...

Tonight there are two things that I am DONE with. Number one...THE SNOW. I love the snow, don't get me wrong. It is beautiful and it goes with everything. However, I am a Mom, which means I have kids to take care of so going snowboarding is out of the question...what else is there to do but shovel the darn stuff all day long? This year we've had more snow than the last 10 years that I can remember..and it's ENOUGH. I swear if I hear the weatherman in the summertime talking about how we are in a drought, i'm gonna FREAK OUT. Whew! Got that off my chest..

Number two...THE DANG FLU. We have had the flu now 3 times in 6 weeks. I am done. Done. Done. This one wasn't the stomach flu, which I have to say i'm grateful for since my babies are still learning how to get their rear ends to the toilet, they sure don't know how to get their heads to the toilet either. The laundry piles up, and i'm constantly washing sheets and blankies, pillows and more sheets. This time it's just the plain old influenza which means the cold chills and body aches along with a massive head ache and congestion with cryptic-like coughs. Fun. Fun. JT and I got the worst of it, which is WONDERFUL...since i'm the one that takes care of everyone, and he's the one that needs me the most. It has been a fun filled week..
Now i'm done venting...whew.
