| The Boys took this picture on saturday while I was out on date night :) |
AJ and CJ start lacrosse in 2 weeks. They are also very excited.
Rae was going to do swimming but now we have to figure out something else to do for her.
So whats been happening.. Well good and the bad..
I will start off with the bad to get that out of the way so I can focus on the positive more.
1. Our Cadillac CTS engine died, the timing chain to be exact. The dang car only has 50,800 miles on it, way to soon for the engine to need replacing!!!! We did get an extended warrantee on the car when we bought it 2 years ago, so I hope they cover it. An inspector is coming out to "inspect" it. They wanted oil change info on it. Who saves all their receipts from walmart to show proof of getting oil filters? 0_o Not I. lol, so if they fix it thats great, if they dont that darn car will be sitting for a very LONG time ($6000-7000 dollar fix).
2. James sadly got laid off again last tuesday and his contract is finishing on the 18th. Hmm anyways Who knows what will happen now. Not much more I can say about that, it is what it is.
3. BYE BYE Iphones again!!and we are only keeping 1 kids cell phone too. TJ and EJ are not very happy about that!! I told them both that they can start earning them if they want them now. Hate doing that but what can I do. Oh yes not having an Iphone made it to my bad news list!!! I consider it bad news dont you? :)
What else... well nothing really I mean little things but now on to the positive..
1. My kids are doing so well!!!!! They are happy, healthy, and really good kids. I have been blessed!! On Wednesday during the last day of my clinical rotation, I sat around with a whole bunch of nurses in the break room as they talked about how much their kids were getting into trouble with drugs, girls/boys, running away etc etc. They where not just talking about 18 years olds but sadly 13-15 year olds. :( I couldn't help but feel grateful that my kids are on the right path. Yes maybe TJ and EJ wants that LONG scruffy hair that I absolutely HATE but if thats the most of my troubles with them I am trully blessed. I realized why these RN's kids are acting out. They kept saying over and over again how they are working to many hours and can't watch their kids all the time. I have been blessed to be able to be home with my kids to be their for them during this rough time in every person life. I am grateful!!
2. School is done this quarter!!!! I am done with 4th quarter all together and am on my way into 5th quarter of a 6th quarter program. I was not able to get back full time so I officially will be graduating in December instead of August. This next quarter I will be taking a "End of Life" class and my Mental Health nursing/logn term care nursing class. Fun Fun. Not sure really if I want to finish school at this point, not sure even if I want to be a RN anymore but I would be absolutely STUPID to not finish when I will be finishing up in august and starting my preceptorship in September. I know I have no ambition anymore but hey a substitute school nurse is at least something right? lol Maybe I'll get more gumption and work in a pediatric unit at a hospital as per diem but that's it!!
3. I have a house to live in!! What more can I say! I see what is happening in Japan right now and all the calamities happening all over the world and all I think about is how I am very grateful I have a warm house to live in.
4. Date nights... A night away from everything is so needed!!! Screaming kids, lacrosse, cleaning house, taking kids to and fro has to have a end sometime. Date night gives us that!! So when you are out of a job you have to improvise on date night. James and I decided we are going up to the temple every weekend or at least most weekends and get a dollar ice cream cone at McD's maybe bring a picnic dinner.
5. The scriptures and family/personal prayer- It's surprising how well we are doing read scriptures and having family prayers as a family not to mention family home evening. We just finish Mosiah with the kids last night and starting Alma in the Book of Mormon tonight. Even AJ and CJ are starting to read a verse or 2 now. After scriptures study it is so amazing to see my older boys, especially TJ, get on his knees to wait for our family prayer. I have great kids!!!
5. Church- I just love being a member of the LDS church. I can't see myself anywhere else or raise my family in any other church. The gospel principles make absolute sense to me, I have no doubt whatsoever about that. I love my ward, the people in my ward, and love the fact there are tons of kids my own kids age. The bishop is a spiritual giant hence you see his example trickle down to the members with his ward boundaries. Our family has been truly blessed being in the ward we are in.
6. Knowledge- I am so grateful I have overall knowledge. I am glad I was taught well growing up. I am glad that I am taught well now. I'm just glad!!
WOW alot to be grateful for. With a few negative there are many more positive and I am glad for that!!!
