The Child God has blessed me with

Well, yesterday was Isaac's first time at cubscouts. ?I am the mother of a lion scout. I was very proud of this little gift from God. He had such a great time with other boys. He actually behaved himself. I prayed extra hard for that one. He was answering questions. He was not shy in the least bit. Although , I didn't realize that when we do our lessons I have never had him raise his hand.

Until last night ugh....so that is now part of our lessons..
Speaking of which, our lessons went so well. We learned about lions. Being as though we
are watching Madagascar 2 (aka the move it move it movie) like every single night
I mean EVERY SINGLE night. So, me being the awesome homeschooling momma....
ok, i was tired of fighting with him and his math and writing. So , we just watched some videos on lions and read about them. Kind of a shock for them after watching alex and the zebra marty
being best friends on the movie....yeah..well....they learnned today that not all cartoon
disney movies are real.....but in same sentence they are boys so the loved watching the
feeding habits of lions...haha...ok, so moving right along here...

I am going to attempt to redo my blog to fit my personality better, HEY who knows
if someone sees my blog with a new background and a bunch of cool things on it..I might just might get another reader. oops, on a sidenote...MOM, i love that you are my fan..and actually read this completly disorganized blog of mine..
another feature I really want to do is homeschooling something or another, maybe something that will help others...oooo...and a memory verse that my church gives out every sunday.
I might be the next big blogger and even bring in .20 cents from my adsense...ok, i best be going ...i don't feel healthy right now, just picturing myself talking to myself haha..
God Bless you all

Thank you Jesus for the day you are giving me, God bless those poor people in Haiti
They need you , and after hearing them singing your praises at night , when they are scared
they love you sweet Lord..
Amen

Life, Praising, Cooking and best of all cleaning.....

I just finished watching the movie Julie, Julia. ..... I absolutely loved the movie. I love all the cooking I loved watching a woman that I want to find out more about (Julia Child's). My interest is peaked. Before I delve into my witty , cunning and smart comments on the movie I must share a little tidbit of news...I have quit my job. Yes, my loyal readers (ok, just my mom prob) I am now a stay at home mom with a twist. ?I am helping my father with his business. I get the fun jobs of doing the books...fun right...But, my children get to come with me and it is only 12 hours a week to help with the bills. Anyways now that's all cleared up and in the open. Back to my extremely cute and funny thoughts about my life after watching this movie. Needless to say , my interest was peaked. I love to cook ( I am currently on my 3rd consecutive year of finishing my cookbook). I love baking (really I do), But, it seems that I can never find the time that others do for my hobbies. I have a home, a husband, children My sweet God that needs worshiped all the time, I have a house that needs so much work ....did you know to keep a house looking good you HAVE to clean it EVERY DAY!!...Thank goodness I knew this from watching my grammother clean everyday..If I had to learn this from TV I would have been in shock that my house didn't clean itself everyday. I home school every day 2 little boys that fight me tooth and nail. I have a father in law and a husband , that's right girls , think you mother in laws are bad,,, live with them and then turn them in to men...hahahaha...I would love to spend my days in the kitchen cooking wonderful meals with all kinds of ingredients , but refer to previous statement I live with 2 men and 2 boys...all we like to eat are meat and potatoes...ugh....there are only so many ways to cook potatoes....Tonight we had a delectable meal of toasted cheese (smothered in lovely Aldis's butta....with creamy Borden's cheese inside, with the most soft pantry bread. see that sounds yummy right....ugh..I really want all of that fancy food...although judging by the size of pants I wear you would think I eat the good stuff right...nope ,,, just eat a bunch of the crummy stuff...I want to find the time to make wonderful meals that bring my family to the table. I would love to have a party at my house with tons of people drooling over the smells of my house..wondering how I did all of this AND have perfect little boys that are genius's PLUS have a happy husband and a spotless house and get to volunteer for the Church all the time...I would love to have my church call me up for duty to God to make my peanut butter creme pie with homemade chocolate Oreo crust..or to make something amazing.....
Well, my children are revolting against momma writing her wonderful , life changing blogs....
I guess for now i must be happy with my toasted cheese and tomato soup..
God Bless all of you
and please before I go
pray for the people in Haiti, these people are suffering while I am writing this blog about all of the selfish things that I want in life like superb food and what not..and they would be happy with the can of beans i hat in my cabinet....
Please dear Jesus touch these people and their loved ones, give them comfort, give them nourishment, help them sweet merciful Savior....hold them in your arms..show them your love
amen

Well, folks welcome to 2010....a new year full of new chances. We brought in the new year as a family plus Jake's friend Matt. Who with jimmy seems that I now have 4 husbands. My children were excited to not have a bedtime for one time a year. I how ever was ready to tell them at 9pm was the new year. I did not. I am ready for a New Year. I am a person who thinks magically for example it is my thought that my sons will quit picking their noses, that they will quit talking about poop, poopy heads, and boob will no longer be their favorite words to throw out in conversations with adults that I run into at the store who also happen to go to church with....aaaa magical thinking. I will be more disciplined in this new year to sitting down and finishing a project if only one gets done this year , hmm like balancing my check book. I will do things realistically like knowing I will only balance it one time that is my goal . I will think that my husband and I after being parents for 5 years now will have a bed to ourselves with no feet in our faces, no bodies laying between us...just me and my man.....I believe that there will be no wwe wrestling in our living room EVERY night of the week. One day my children will look at me and say "momma, it is 8 pm may we please go to bed now..no ..we don't want to watch a movie tonight just shut off the lights so that we may go to sleep"....my husband thinks that i have too much of an imagination....(i have faith that God will smile on a couple of these things and make them happen hehe)....I do have alot I want to get done this year ..same as last year but see like most popular cell phone plans..mine roll over into the new year..so that if i don't get them all done they will be here for the new year...like roll over minutes..
well my husband has just gotten back from braving the big bad and scary grocery store on his own i must go make sure he needs no first aide
again
God Bless
