LIFE is to blame for the lack of updates. I've gotten so far behind in everything that I do...The house, the blog, contacts with friends, bible study (of which I dropped out of...after one week) and yes, even facebook!! I struggle daily in just keeping our heads above the clutter in our house. I can't get to the things that REALLY need to be done, because everyday, I'm re-cleaning the kitchen and the living room, which is all that I have time for during nap time. Therefore, anything else that needs to be cleaned just doesn't get cleaned. Thank God that I have a wonderful husband who does our laundry or I would sink for sure!!
I asked Clay last night if he thought we could find someone willing to help us with a servant's heart and not someone awaiting a check. LOL Either someone to help me clean or keep my kids a few days so that I can clean. I want to know what it feels like to sit down and not have a to-do list hanging over my head, to know what it feels like to think about my house being clean from top to bottom! Yeah, oh well, a girl can dream right?!
As much as I've felt overwhelmed and frustrated lately, I'm also reminded how thankful that I am to be such a very busy stay at home mom with a wonderful husband and 3 kids who have such talent for making a mess! I love them all so much.
As a reminder for me, here are a few things that have been on my mind that I need to blog about:
*Photo Contest
*Disney Cruise
*Evan's tooth
*Ella and Elijah, 20 months
*THE FLU
*Football
*Blue Ribbon
*The need to cut back
*Possibility of me making some extra money (Photography/teaching in January)
For now, I'm off to edit some senior pictures...

Looking forward to it... I have a lot to catch up on too, and my house... oh, does not look like it belongs to an OCD, germaphobic perfectionist, although it does... Our schedule has changed so dramatically and with homeschooling any "free time" has gone right out the window... As for laundry... that is my nemesis.
Lisa, the bug man came to spray yesterday and I had totally forgotten he was coming! I wouldn't have even gone to the door but I just happened to be walking past the front door when he walked up so he saw me. I was embarrassed! LOL
Will wait patiently for the updates :) I too struggle to keep my head above water and I only have "2"!
I hear you loud and clear. Who would have thought adding one (never still, always into SOMETHING little boy) would cause so much chaos! Not complaining, just stating fact. I had a nasty cold for a week that absolutely threw a monkey wrench into my plans for an organized start to fall...but I'm eternally optimistic!
