AHHH

I think I had an encounter with the devil today at Kroger. I went in Kroger (which I cant stand because I hate the grocery in general), and I walked straight to the baby aisle for formula. On my way past an aisle I noticed ice cream on sale for $2.99. Wow that is a good deal! I had to tell myself that I didnt need the ice cream. I got the formula and somehow ended up in the bakery. I found some chocolate brownies covered with chocolate icing and sprinkles. They were also $2.99. I had them in my hand and then I realized the devil was trying to trick me. haha. I put the brownies down and paid for the formula and left the store. I won!! I beat the urge to buy something bad! I have been doing so well at eating good and getting on the treadmill everyday. I am currently 122 pounds and I am hoping to continue to lose. I would be completely satisfied with 118 or below. I am not too far away! I think I can...I think I can!!!

The best sound in the world.....

is hearing my baby laugh! I love it! She grows more and more everyday! Here is a pic of her holding her head up like a big girlie!!

Monday already?? Really?

Wow, I think the weekends go by faster and faster! I am amazed! I had a great weekend!! Brandon and I took Libby to Russell Springs Kentucky to visit another great great aunt. Aunt Rhodena is my grandma Rosie's sister. She was so happy to see Libby that she cried when she first saw her. It was so sweet! We had an amazing visit, ate a bunch of food, and had a good time. Yesterday I worked all day on a cover letter and application for a job. I hope it works out. I am not terrribly excited about having to work full time and give Lib a sitter but you gotta do what you gotta do. I have really enjoyed my time with her. If the job works out it does and if it doesnt I won't be too upset. I love spending time with my Lib. I love her so much! On a sad note I got word that a friend of a friend's husband passed away in an accident. He was only 28 I believe, no older I know. He was such a sweet guy. I cannot imagine what she is going through and she could use all the prayers in the world. She is from Germany so she has no family here. I got sick to my stomach when I heard the news. I am still in such shock. Well I am looking forward to seeing what this week will bring...cant wait!

Shew...this Momma is tired!!

Okay so I have the upmost respect for a housewife. I have been worn out the past few days! Taking care of a teething baby while taking care of household duties is a lot to manage. During her naps I find myself running around the house like crazy while trying to squeeze in a few days worth of work in 2 hours. I have been working on a resume, cover letter, and application, putting away Libby's newborn clothes while transitioning in her 3 month clothes, doing laundry, cleaning the bathrooms, making grocery lists, going to the grocery, paying bills, and squeezing in time to fit in a walk or treadmill time....only to stay up with the babe until 11:00 pm to get back up at 6:00 am. (and of course I hear her scurry in the night and listen to Brandon get up with her at 5:00). Oh and dont forget that she is going through a mommy's girl phase where only I can comfort her. My word. And p.s. I should feel lucky...my husband doesnt make me cook! I couldnt imagine having dinner on the table when he got home. How do people do it? I like to think of myself as a strong person that can handle a lot but goodness I am not wonder woman!

Its Official!!

Wow, I was looking back at the past 10 days and so much has happened! I backed my car into someone (so Libby had her first wreck), we got a new 2010 camry and sold Brandon's truck, Libby got her first tooth, she learned to take her passy out and put it back in her mouth, and......I quit my job! Ahhh!! That was the big decision that I have been praying about forever! I loved my job and I didn't want to resign however it was necessary to leave the church and that is what Brandon and I had decided was best for our family. It is bittersweet. I am sad to leave but looking forward to a new place of worship! I can't wait!

I had an amazing weekend! We hung out at home on Friday night and went to a wedding Saturday afternoon. We went to the lake Saturday evening and stayed the night, then got on the boat on Sunday with friends. We had an amazing time! My last day at my job is August 13 so I will continue to work Tuesday, Thursdays, and Fridays until then. So today I get to spend some time with my teething little love and the day couldnt be more perfect!

Oh Wednesday..Please Be Better Than Tuesday!!

Yesterday was one of those days that was for the birds! It rained all day and was yucky out! I had to work so I had to take Libby out in the rain which is no fun. To top it off I backed into a parked car in the parking lot. Ugh! It was raining, Libby was crying, and I was in a hurry to get home. Usually there is no one in the church parking lot and def. no one parked behind me but to my surprise yesterday there was. The girl that I hit works our Mom's Day Out program and she is very sweet and understanding. Thank goodness because if someone would have yelled at me I would have broken down. So..I guess it could have been much worse. Libby screamed out when we hit the car. It scared me to death. Poor thing, I scared her : ( (and myself).

I am at home with Libby today, thank goodness cause I really don't have the desire to drive today. Libby's great grandma Margaret is coming with my aunt to visit. I am keeping it low key today. Clean up around the house, sorting through things, maybe a walk tonight..that's about as exciting as it is going to get.

On another note, I have come to peace with the decisions that I have been praying about. I feel at ease and feel that they are good decisions. I will be making them official the next week so I can actually talk about it which will be nice. Its hard to hold stuff in that burdens you. In fact, that is what I was thinking about when I backed into the car. I don't want to carry the stress anymore.

Okay...off to go check on my sleeping babe then back to picking up before visitor time!!

Oh Monday...

Wow...seriously..it's Monday again? Why do the weekends fly by so fast? Although it went fast it was a productive weekend! We got a new 2010 Camry..yay! I love it! We are selling Brandon's truck to his dad and purchasing a Camry in it's place. I will miss Timmy the Ford F150 but a Camry is more practical for our needs. I am looking forward to this coming weekend as well. We are going to go to the lake and take some friends with us. Should be a lot of fun! I cannot believe how fast the summer has gone...it will soon be August! Ahhh!!! I can't believe it! I am looking forward to fall and the UK football season, however, I dont want to rush the days away. Libby is already three months and I cant believe how fast it has gone and how much she has grown! I am continuing to pray for our family over the next few months as things will be changing and hoping that God opens doors for us. I can't wait to see what God has in store for our family!
