Its the most... Buisiest Time of the Year!!!

 Wow. December has flown by. This year has flown by. As have the last seven. My baby, turned seven yesterday. She promised me when she was little, that she would stay that way. I am very disappointed in her for fibbing.


What can you do. Time keeps on ticking and there is nothing you can do to stop that. Its a wonderfully sad thing. Some days I long for a house to myself with no pitter patter (if that is what you want to call it) and other times when they are away I ache for them to be home and making some noise so badly and wonder how my life will go on without that same pitter patter that drives me insane.

 Not only did my baby grow up overnight some how, but this is the month of Christmas! Santa is coming in just four more short days!!! How exciting. Of course the older two girls no longer believe, but the little ones do and the wonder and excitement is so cool. We went to see Santa the other day. He was spot on with the boy. Telling him he was proud of how good he was doing in school, never getting into trouble or causing problems... He said, "but your ROOM.... Oh your ROOM..." LOL. I tell you what at that moment I almost believed he had been to my house!!!

 That night the boy went and made an attempt to even clean his room (thank you santa)












We decorated cookies with friends the other night. A little Christmas tradition we have started the past three years or so. Its much fun and I hope that we can continue to do it for years to come! It was so much easier this year, I set up a big table in the garage and let the kids go to town. When it was over I just swept and that was that! I love having a home of my own, and a garage.

 Its been six months and I still back out of the driveway going... "WOW. That is OUR home." It is an awesome feeling.

 I have much to be thankful for this Christmas season. We have jobs, our family, our friends and our health all going for us. I feel truly blessed with the love and friendship others have shown to us this year, and I hope that everyone has a fantastic Holiday Season.

 Merry Christmas!!!!

some days

 The kids are just cute. I know I normally talk about how bratty they are. but today, well today they were just cute. All of them, even Destiny. Believe it or not.  Hannah came down the little car line to get into the van and she was smiling and so happy, and so dang cute. Promise had a friend over part of the day Bailey played mario and Destiny told me my shirt looked like a hobo shirt (it was Tims)  Today was just a good day. not sure what made it that way. the kids mostly got a long, there were a few SHUTUPS tossed out but for the most part it was pretty peaceful. I wish more days, were like today.  I went to Lowe's today to get a shelf thing to put in our laundry room. Its so exciting! TO think a shelf would be nice here, and then think YEAH, I'll put one in. See we can do that, cus we OWN our house! :) Its awesome!  I got a few more seeds today. Sweet baby peppers, zucchini and squash too. Yum. I really hope something grows this year. I am SO sore f...

The pitter patter of little (annoying) feet!

 I remember when my kids were little and innocent and said super cute things. It still happens sometimes, but not nearly as often. They no longer pitter patter, they clomp. Things change, kids grow.  Luckily I still have my little neighbor girl Adriana. She comes over to play with the big kids quite often and is almost always a hoot. From taking her to the "lime berry" to just silly things she says. Tonight was one of those nights.  I have not slept much and wanted a nice relaxing bath... As I am headed in there, Adriana asks me what I am doing... I tell her I am about to take a bath. "can I take one with you?" Uh.... I have  a vision of myself as Micheal Jackson...No baby, you cannot take a bath with me.... So I am in the tub, and after a while Tim came in to bring me towels... So he was in there visiting with me, and Adriana knocked and asked if she could come in... Tim told her no. "Why? Because Clorie is NAKED??? What are YOU doing in there TIM!?" ...

Love the one your with.

 My mom and I were talking and lately her relationship is what I guess we could call complicated. During our conversation she stopped and asked me "Are you happy with Tim?" without hesitation I answered "yes".She told me that she knew he loved me and she was so glad I could be happy.  Later I was thinking about it. I have wondered is he "it" is he the one. How can I be sure, how is anyone ever sure? We have been together for almost 9 years now. Granted we've had our issues, but every night he comes home to me, and every morning he's next to me in bed. He loves me, he provides for me, and I love him and provide for him. Together we are raising four wonderful children.  Do I still get butterflies when he walks though the door? Well, honestly, no. Do I still miss him the moment he walks away... Again no, sometimes I am more than happy to see him leave for the evening and go to work... Does that mean I love him any less than I did when our love was...
