Up and At 'Em

Rise and Shine!

I love gorgeous mornings, when it isn't hot yet and you can sit on the patio and enjoy the birds singing and grasshoppers chirping.  You can smell the grass and the flowers.  That's where I am this morning.  I got up with the husband this morning which isn't the usual, although I hope to make it the new norm.  Usually, I'm up with the kids so much in the night that I sleep until they wake me in the morning.  I have so much to do over the next day and a half or so that I'm stressed beyond belief and trying to just keep calm.  I know that I should leave it in God's hands and not stress.  Everything will happen the way it's supposed to.



Today, is going to be a lot of fun mixed with a little business.  I have to go to Topeka to pick up Ben's birth certificate.  Morgan and her the girls are going to join me and we are going to make a day out of it.  We plan to go to the History Museum and maybe the park to ride the train and carousel.  This will be the third time the kids and I have gone to the museum in the last month.  They love it.  Trust me, I'll be taking lots of pictures, as I usually do when we are there.

This evening I need to pack up the dog and take her to our friend Terry in Kansas City so he can watch her while we are gone on vacation.

Tomorrow, I have to finish packing, Sydney has a doctor's appointment, and then I'm off to Sydney's school to turn in her paperwork, and Ben's school to turn in his paperwork.  Lots to do and not much time, because tomorrow we also pick up our rental, pack it up and head to Eureka Springs.  Our friend Torren will be taking care of our sweet kitty Harley Quinn and our house while we are gone.



I've been to Eureka Springs before, but it's been a long time.  I'm really excited.  We are staying in a neat hotel downtown and going to enjoy a couple days just seeing the sights, maybe a cave or a gorgeous spring, and really just having a good time as a family. Sometime Friday, we are going to Shell Knob to finish our vacation at Table Rock Lake. I'm hoping for fun and relaxation!!!



My birthday is Thursday, so I'm hoping for a nice time.  As long as I'm surrounded by family, then I'll be happy.

Alright,my coffee and I are off to get my day started.  I have some laundry waiting to be folded, hungry kids climbing out of bed, and lots of packing to work on before we get headed to Topeka.  Have a wonderful day.

Blogmas 2014 - Day 8 What Is On Your Wish List This Year

Oh my goodness, I'm really pretty easy to buy for.  I have pretty much everything a girl could want.  I mean of course I have a few things but I'm not really counting on anything because I already got a huge gift of the new car. I really love scarves, especially infinity scarves right now.  I'm beyond obsessed.   Fun gadgets, appliances, etc for my kitchen are always a win for me as well as cookbooks and decorations.  I'm so into all of it, and it's the best go to gift idea for me. A nice pair of rain boots or wellies.  I just bought some for all of my kids for Christmas, and I've been dying for my own for years. Vera Bradley!  I'm so in love with Vera Bradley.  I'd like a bigger purse, as well as a library tote bag. And honestly I've not asked for any of even these things because what I want more than anything else in the world, is our own house.  I want to buy a house for my kids to grow up in an...

Petty

This evening our sweet little Petty went to Kitty Heaven.  The cancer had spread to her brain, causing her to have odd behaviors.  The tumor in her mouth, or the side of her face, had pulled down her ear canal on that side and caused her eye to twitch, which the vet said caused constant vertigo.  The cancer had also spread to her intestines causing her to loose control of her bowels and bladder and she was bleeding internally.  While she didn't appear to be suffering, there is no way that she wasn't.  We sadly had to have her put down. Yes, I'm meowing at her in the video.  Sometimes she would answer when you would do that, but she would always come to you. She was such a cute little love bug.  I named her Perpetua, from the Bridget Jones movies, and later we shortened it to Petty, just because we are a family of nicknames.  I remember when we first got her and she was so tiny.  She looked like a lemur and she was all black with a cou...

Happy Homemaker Monday

The Weather::: Right now, it's 30 degrees.  It's supposed to get up to 40 today though. Right now I am: Sitting at the kitchen table with Scotland in my lap.  Rylie is playing with a remote control My Little Pony scooter toy on the kitchen floor. Thinking: How busy today is, what all I need to get done, and the walk I want to go on. On my reading pile::: Right now, I'm reading a book my sister-in-law loaned me called Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard On my tv::: I've got several shows to catch up on, just not sure how I'm going to fit TV in today.  Maybe during nap time. I've been really enjoying Super Store lately.  It really reminds me of The Office but in a Walmart type store.  It's nice to just laugh and laugh.  It's a lot easier to watch vlogs while I work on the iPad. Something fun to share::: This weekend we went to a birthday party for a little girl we've known for a couple of years and became friends with her family...
