a post on a thursday???

this week i've been sorting through all my baby clothes. now that i that i know a healthy baby is coming in february, i feel a little more comfortable going through things to see what will be seasonally appropriate for the new baby and what i can safely get rid of. my last three babies have been born in the summer, so i have an abundance of 0-3 month SUMMER clothes. they won't be any help to me in february! into the boxes they go!! i love sorting and organizing!!! but i overdid it monday with all the lifting and now my back feels like its falling apart. so now i have to drag boxes and sit and carry small armloads of stuff. i feel like i'm getting OLD!!

not much else going on. soccer season is over, so dustin is home now in the evenings. he is still looking for a second job, so i don't know how long the home in the evenings is going to last. i'll just enjoy it while i can! in the meantime i will try not to worry about money. i think that how those who follow God handle and think about money is one thing that sets them apart from the rest of the world and i am determined to not give into the worry of this world's system. i remind myself that even with one source of income, we are among the wealthiest in the world. and in a time where many can not find work, we are blessed to have a dependable job that dustin can go to and actually ENJOY what he does. so, no complaining here. just prayer and hope that he finds a second job that is just what we need. smack me upside the head if you hear me whining!

tonight is trick or treat. i'm still thinking on costumes for the kids. good thing i don't get too into it all. surely in all the basement dressups there's something that can serve them well for an hour walk around town for candy! if all else fails i can break out the old red raider basketball uniforms!

to do today: feed tik, clean kitchen, put in laundry, homeschool kids, clean office, make lunch, clean kitchen, laundry, nap, put on supper, put laundry away, find halloween costumes, eat supper, clean kitchen, trick or treat, wash kids, kids to bed, bath, read, bed.

  3. that's just mean! i'm thinking, is she talking about "the last three babies" to throw us off track or is she spelling it out without actually saying it?? oh well. i just bought lily the cutest pack of long-sleeve onesies (because she had POOP stains on ALL of her other ones) and they are brown, green and yellow with ducks on them. so cute...so i guess i can do that:)
