House Work, Smouse Work!!

I would just like to say I officially hate house work! I used to really enjoy it. Of course that was BEFORE the house was a mess EVERY DAY due to my wonderful little chicklins! It's not so motivating when you wake up to a messy house, clean it, mess it up by lunch, clean it somewhat again, and then by the night it looks the same as when you woke up that morning! I don't know when I started to hate it. I think maybe when we moved to Las Vegas and had our first rental in a long time. Renting is not the same as owning! Anyway, I would love someday for a cleaning lady to come to my house and clean it twice a month. That would really help! (This probably would go against everything I was taught and the long heritage of hard workers from both sides of my family, but it sure would be helpful!)

I have to admit I'm still in the phase of liking house work....now cooking that's another story. By the way it's fine your hair takes that long and that you have to go to great lengths to get it there because it's absolutely beautiful!!!!

"him" is my cousin Kevin. We used to be best friends-did everything together, talked everyday, each other's #1 supporter...then he went to college and found other "things" that I can't support. We've definitely drifted apart-to just saying hi when we see each other-nothing more. Makes me so sad... Probably not the response you figured, huh?! Life is tough sometimes!!!!

Thanks for the comment. I know what you mean but sometimes I feel like even when I try I fail. But I guess maybe putting forth a little more effort is always a big help. And as for getting out I could use it more then I get. Can't wait for this weekend. I bought some stuff for Noahs costume. We don't have to put it together I just need to know how to do it. So i might bring it up so you could take a peek while the guys are out golfing:)

Amen to everything you just said. I just told Chad yesterday that I wouldn't mind having a maid. And his response was "what would your mother think". It sure would be nice.

ahhhh!! i was just telling Melissa about this yesterday!! i think it was when you hit 3 kids that you started hating it. at least that is the case for me since i feel that no matter how much i get accomplished in a day, it all gets UNDONE by the end. why don't our children want as clean of a house as we do!?!?!?

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah, ...

Our New Family Pictures

I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to...

Melanie’s Calling in Life

Image
Two Days ago Melanie was getting ready to go out the door.  She had her coat and was looking for her other jacket.  I asked her why she needed it when she already had her coat on.  She said she was going to take it to her friend at school, Humana, because she wears 3 jackets and doesn’t have a coat.  5 minutes later Melanie asked me “Mom, can we buy Humana a coat?”  I had already been thinking about that but told Melanie I would look while I was out to see if I could find one.  I went to 3 different stores to look!  Winter coats in that size are hard to find these days!  But I finally found something at Walmart and got gloves and a hat.  My friend, Angela, who drove carpool that morning called me while I was out looking.  She called worried because Melanie had said on the way to school that her friend didn’t have a coat and was sleeping on the floor.  I told her I knew about the coat and was getting one but Melanie hadn’t mentioned ...
