Thankfullness

It is the night before Thanksgiving. All is good. We were ins Wisconsin Dells from Sunday until Tuesday afternoon. This was the first time I had been there since I was 9 and Tony and the kids had never been there. We stayed at the Great Wolf Lodge and did a lot of swimming. We went with my sister and her family and two families that are her neighbors. I am not a fan of swimming since I have weight issues but we all had a great time -even me. Will was very cute when we asked him the first morning if we should go to McD's for breakfast -he refused to go because his Papa would not be with him. Can't have breakfast at McD's without his Papa. It was so cool to take the kids there and have such fun.

Today I had my first Chiropractor appointment -I am sore and still skeptical. I have 3 appointments next week I am keeping my fingers crossed. It would be nice to wake up in the morning and be free of pain.

Tony was off work today also -it was very nice to have him home.

I am feeling very blessed and am so thankful for a nice home -good jobs for both of us and decent cars.

I am thankful for our healthy beautiful children and a husband who is the best.

I am thankful for my parents and my siblings and their families. I am also thankful for our friends.

May you all have a blessed holiday.

A Long Day

It is 11pm central time and it has been a long day. I worked for my dad this morning. I was up at 6:30 to get the girls off to school and Will I off to work at the mall. I am now here working at the hospital, thank goodness I have only 1 hour left to go. I can not wait to crawl into bed and watch TV.

I have to tell a cute Will story. I was getting him dressed the other morning and it was a tad chilly in the house. I pulled his shirt off and he told me he had horns while he pointed to his nipples. It was hard not to laugh while I explained the proper term for his 'horns'. Today at the mall he lifted his shirt and said he could not find his horns (it was not chilly in the mall). Could he be any cuter?;)

Another weekend bites the dust

The kids had no school Friday and Tony and I were both off work. We spent all day Friday and most of Saturday cleaning the house. UGH! Than early evening Saturday was our birthday party for Will. He turned 4 November 1 -but we were unable to have the party until this weekend. All went well and Will really enjoed himself. he was greeting everyone at the door with "Happy Birthday!" -too cute!

My niece Lexie stayed the night last night so the girls and I took her home today. Than we joined my sister and Lexie and Jory and we went to see Mary Poppins Christmas display at Macy's downtown Mpls. It was nice to see -I am sure that soon these displays will be something that the girls will not be interested in soon.

So here it is Sunday night -Addie and Will are sleeping and hopefully Kenny will be soon as well. I am in bed watching TV and Tony is downstairs watching football. It has been a good weekend and I am not looking forward to going to work tomorrow. I work at the hospital this week and that means long nights and I will see very little of my family until the weekend.

I am struggling with a couple of things lately. The first and always foremost is money -man I have major money issues. I am also struggling with the decision of returning to school this next semester. The last issue is my weight. I need to do something about all 3 -but I am lazy and weak and do what I can to avoid all. Oh, wait one other and probably the most important of all is whether or not I am being the best parent I can be and I guess to go along with that is am I good wife? These thoughts plague me daily...
