Hosting Dinner

I am so excited! Tomorrow night, I am having my mother and father in law over for dinner. To repay them (somewhat)for all the help with us getting, and fixing up our new house. I am not sure we could have done it without them. They were there from the loan process, giving advice, looking at the houses we liked best before we paid for an inspection, helping us by fronting money for a fridge so we did not have to live out of a cooler for 8 weeks. I know I have mentioned before how awesome they are, but its worth mentioning it again.

So for dinner I am making "Roast Picante" glazed carrots, and Hot Crash Potatoes. I hope that it is good. I am a bit nervous as I don't normally invite people over and cook for them. Only my family who just complains, and picks :OP I just hope everyone can behave while we have company and I can get (and keep) the house clean before they come!


This weekend is a pretty busy one. What with them coming over, Tim working in the evenings leaving me alone with the four. Destiny wants to have a friend over... "It will be like having a second ME here!" as if that is supposed to talk me INTO it?! FRISCO FESTIVAL is also this weekend. The rides (which I will NOT be riding) are all free. Its pretty awesome. Sunday I think I would like to attend church. I say that all the time and then Sunday rolls around and I look at my messy house and tell myself I need to clean it, and next week I will attend church.


So I am sure I can find time in this busy weekend, to let everyone (all 7 of you) know how my dinner party went, and the festival, well you KNOW there will more than likely be photos :) Stay tuned!


Oh and just for giggles, here is the nifty picture I took on Monday!

Its not always 50/50

 Sometimes one person has to hold up more weight than the other does. Lately I feel as though I am that person holding the extra weight. Lately I have been wishing I was not that person. I feel like I am being spread a bit too thin... I also feel like no matter how many times I try to explain myself, it does not matter.  So I will just keep waiting, and hopefully eventually someone will come and take a few books off of my stack. Take a load off. Help me out. Chip in. You get it? I am sure you do. Now if only other people did as well.  God doesnt give you more than you can handle. I wonder sometimes if He thinks the load he's giving me is being more evenly distributed than it is... Maybe he can review my case :)

8 years at the same job!

 I will say this about my work. No matter what is said, word gets around. Words also get twisted and changed, and rumors fly like well I don't know kites? I think co-workers are like a second family, not like to the point where you want to invite them over for Thanksgiving dinner... More like your around them enough that you are more than likely to have seen a bad side of them, and learned some annoyances. Chances are they were grumpy or depressed or pissed at some point and you have seen them at their worst. I think that makes it easier to get under each others skin and become annoyed. You get annoyed, you get over it, you move on. Your still co workers and you still get through. Like family, there are spats, you get over it move on and after it all your still family.  So do I always love my co workers or getting up early, or when someone is rude to me, or when I don't make any money... OF COURSE NOT. I have good days and I have bad days. Today it was raining, I would have ...

Done Growing

 Well soon enough it will be the start of a new school year. Sooner for my younger two, than for my older two. So today we went to get a few things that will be needed. Some shoes, socks and backpacks. Mommy needed a new pair of shoes too, I wear mine out pretty quickly being on my feet as a waitress.  So my son is about the pickiest shoe person out there. Nothing fits. We have to try on like every.single.shoe. in his size before he can choose. Its irritating and stressful. Hannah was pretty easy although she did not take the cheaper "on sale" pair I liked best. Either way she was quick and painless.  So then mom's turn. I put on a pair of 6.5 I wear those or 7's depending on the shoe. I wanted to try those new shoes with the curved bottom. Anyway... I get the 6.5 on and Hannah feels for my toes. "Oh you better get a size bigger" She says. "Those wont last the whole school year!" I told her I did not have to worry about outgrowing my shoes. My ...
