| ~Saturday Update~ |
| 07.10.04 (10:40 pm) [edit] |
It's been awhile so this will be a quick update before bed. Fourth of July was celebrated starting on July 3, at some friends with a cookout and swimming. There must have been at least 40 people there, but the kids loved it! Then we all headed to town(small town) for the annual fireworks display. It's usually pretty good for a small town and everybody comes to the downtown park. The same thing happens when a fair comes to town! On July 4th, we went to church, said the pledges of allegiance to the flag, the Bible, and the christian flag, sang patriotic songs, "God Bless America" and "America, the Beautiful"--things like that. After church we went to the mother in law's for lunch, then that evening we had a church picnic (at the same park previously mentioned--downtown--of course it's just a short walk from the church!).
I worked Monday day and then Tuesday night. On Wednesday, Haleigh and I went to a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese's, then we all went to prayer meeting and G.A's on Wednesday night.
Thursday, Hannah had her birthday party at the skating rink from 3-6:00. I was so sore the next day at work! (Her birthday was June 10th so we were a little late~!) Then that night we went to eat at the fish house in town.
I worked on Friday day, then in the afternoon at 4:00, the girls went to another birthday party, a swimming party, until about 8:00. [i][b]We were tired![/b][/i]
This morning we had another birthday party to attend from 9:30 to 11:30, but we left at 11:00. The girls and I were so tired--we went to Tony's mom's and all of us kind of napped. Tony had gone out of town to go night fishing and got to his mom's about 10 this morning so he was already there and sacked out. Tonight, we went to eat at a new steak and seafood place in Hattiesburg and I am stuffed! It was so good. We met my little brother, his wife, and my little nephew there. After there we went to Walmart and picked up a few things. Now everyone is fast asleep--Tony is snoring of course! I will be heading that way as soon as I read over my Sunday School lesson and read my Bible. Tomorrow is church so I don't want to be late! :oops:
Maybe more tomorrow~~been so busy that I haven't kept up my blog!

| Hmmmm....The smell of sawdust..... |
| 07.01.04 (10:09 pm) [edit] |
Is it July already? My how the time has flown. I'm not ready for it to be this close to Christmas! Time to start saving for Santa. Maybe this year I really will have all my shopping done [i][u][b]BEFORE[/b][/u][/ i] December 24. :shock:
Christmas has come early for me this year. Yesterday, we started on building the stairway to the attic. This afternoon the stairway was completed and then my dear hubby and his buddies have started on the floor of the attic. There will be a bedroom, a second den/playroom,
another full bathroom upstairs...which will be all for the girls. Let's hope they stay up there! I wonder if this will get Holleigh out of our bed! I can only hope! Now, while all this stuff is being built, I have the[i] exciting[/i] task of picking out colors of paint, carpet and bedroom themes for the girls. They will all share a bedroom for now while they are young. Hopefully, the den upstairs and the one downstairs, and the room planned for in the basement will provide them enough space to escape from each other when they want to be alone. Of course, there is always the bathroom with a lock! The only bathroom we have now is only a tub(no shower) and no lock on the door. It has a skeleton key lock, but who the heck knows where that key is! That secret died with his grandma! I can see my self sneaking upstairs to the girls' bathroom to get a shower(oh...how I miss showers!) Anyway, I kind of went off to another world for a second there! Eventually, the den upstairs maybe turned into a bedroom.
I love having friends in the construction business and a hubby as an electrican(sometimes--hal f the time my electrical needs get put on hold while he does everyone elses requests!) The only thing is I get to clean all the junk up! This morning when I walked in from work the stench of sawdust met up with my nose...Not a pleasant smell... :!: With all the rain, just add the good old Mississippit humidity and heat and it is just lovely :roll: , know what I mean? Will I ever get my home clean and sweet smelling again? I much prefer the smell of freshly cut grass, wonder if that can be bottled up and sprayed inside my house? lol
I have lots of work to do when I get home(I am at work and loving it!) No sleep tomorrow!
[u][b]My goals[/b]:[/u]
[i][b]Start reading God's word everyday. Learn more about his will for my life.
Begin a regular prayer time...everyday. Have more than just candid, one line prayers...really talk to God and let Him know what is on my heart.
Follow Flylady's ideas more closely to keep my home more livable and lovable.
Spend more individual time with each of my girls...and maybe my husband, too!
Try to keep my cool during all this remodelling in progress :oops: [/b][/i]
