Mid Week Catch Up

You're being warned: This is going to be a boring post!!!


Often times when Eric and I are trying to remember something, I'll say, "Let me check my blog."  Ha!  This happened the other day when we were trying to figure out how long ago we bought our couch. Anyway, as I was hunting for the answer, I couldn't help but read through some old posts.  It was so fun to see how my life has changed, what I was up to, what was on my heart and so on.

Sometimes I try to avoid posting the "boring stuff," but in hind sight, that's what I tend to forget about.  I remember fun trips, family outings, holidays, birthdays, and the big stuff.  Looking back though, it's the "boring stuff" that I enjoyed reliving the most.  All of that to say, here is a boring post about our life this week.


* We got some new equipment at work, so I had to stay late to train on Monday.  It wasn't terrible, and all the new things are so exciting!

* Yesterday I came home to clean and do laundry.  I've been trying to stay on top of all the house work, so it was nice to knock some stuff off my list!

* I've been having some tummy problems for the past six weeks or so.  I was thinking it was an ulcer or maybe gallbladder, but it appears to be something with my intestine. If you will recall, I had a major and life threatening surgery two years ago for a similar condition. Because of my history and my new symptoms I have to have a stupid colonoscopy in two weeks.  Needless to say, I am not thrilled about this. 


* Since I was at the doctor forever and a day this afternoon, I decided to take the kids to McDonald's after daycare to kill some time before church.  Eli ate SEVEN nuggets and still ate at church too.

*Tomorrow I get my hair cut, and I'm thinking about chopping it off again.  I noticed when looking through past blogs, that I have a tendency to do this every July. Ha!

*We've got a great weekend ahead and will get to visit with some family.  I can't wait!


*And finally, all the pictures you see today are curstosy of Instagram.  If I ever go missing from blogger you can always find me there.  It is my favorite social media, after all

A New Decade

Happy 2020, everyone!  I know I'm a month and a half behind, but ya'll, January was brutal!  Not brutal in a tragic kind of way but in a "life will wear you out" kind of way. It started off with the flu...times three!  Eric, Ellie and I had Flu B and missed the first week back to school and work.  Then Eli was diagnosed with Flu A two weeks later.  Thankfully, my in-laws stepped in to help so that we didn't have to miss any more time at work. On top of the sickness, we listed our house for sale. The work it takes getting ready for market is just crazy. But we also have people coming in and out of our home at all hours and it's just kinda overwhelming. Plus, we are finalizing everything with the builder. In full transparency, working with the builder has been the easiest part! Maybe I'll do a little update on the whole building process later this week.  Now that the dust has settled on 2020, I'm going to try my very hardest to keep this litt...

Running Through The Sprinkler

Playing in the sprinkler was on our summer bucket list.  To me it seems weird just checking if off and moving on to the next activity because when I was younger, we ran through a sprinkler pretty much every day.  Putting it under the trampoline and letting it keep all the "jumpers" cool, was a favorite pastime. I cringe now. What the heck were we doing with eight kids on a net-free trampoline anyway? Ha! Back to the present…Eric treated the pool yesterday, so we couldn't swim which made it the perfect night to drag out the water hose and sprinkler.   Neither child loved it at first, so we turned down the pressure.  They slowly but surely warmed up to it.  Bless her little heart, Ellie stood right in the middle and took a direct hit.  She would make the worst face you've ever seen then cry ridiculsouly if you tried to move her.  Eli ran straight though the middle with his eyes closed.  Thank goodness our y...

Sunday Funday

Ellie redeemed herself last night by sleeping EIGHT STRAIGHT HOURS!!  Ya'll, we are so blessed to have a good sleeper, and Eli is doing great too!  There are no word to express our gratitude. I try to get pictures on Sundays before church because it's pretty much the only day that we all look presentable, at least at the same time.  Some days I still have on work clothes and look ok, but the kids are in sweats from daycare, or they're looking super cute and I'm in gym clothes.  Please tell me you understand this! At church today, a friend's son gave Eli two brand new pair of baseball pants.  Brett plays ball for a local high school, and Eli thinks he hung the moon.  You can imagine how excited he was to sport his new pants.  As soon as we got home, Eli had change into them and a baseball shirt...love his heart! Eric let me take a little nap, and when I woke up we decided to let Eli swim in the kiddie pool since it's about a ba...
