Is anyone still there?


Hello World!

August was such a rough month for me. My sister's would be 25th birthday, the one year anniversary of her death plus the one year anniversaries of my two aunts and a young friend of my family. Not to mention adjusting to a supposed routine for my newborn and also preparing my big boys for a new school. Just so very much that not only did I not have time but my mind was just not settled enough to put pen to paper. Have you ever been there? It's like your thoughts are running their own marathon, full speed with no chill in sight! My goodness!
Now that things have calmed just a little I have some time to catch up with you all and see how life is treating you and let you all know how life is now treating me. 
School is in session for my big boys so it's just been JV and I living it up! I had to make a hard decision to not return to work. I say hard because for a family of six now having one income is a bit of a stretch but when trying to find child care you come to the realization that maybe being home with your little ones is best after all.
So, at home I am finding many small tasks to keep myself occupied. I have become determined to make this house a home. We've lived in a few houses and we had things still packed when we moved out. No pictures on the walls, no decor to express who we are, just a shell of a house that we slept in daily. I want to take time this time and paint and decorate and make living here worthwhile and so Pinterest has been my  best friend. I've been searching and pinning and pinning and searching. I've found many recipes, a few I've tried and been successfully with and a couple that my boys have let me know never to try that again, my feelings were not hurt.... That much, anyway.
I would say that I will have more time to chat with you all more these days but I would be telling you all a big fat lie. Being a SAHM is more demanding then you may think especially for a Mom and Wife of a family of six! But we shall see how these weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds will go.....

Until next time!

XOXO *MUAH*

My Marriage Rant....

Ok, so , I'm listening to the Kane Show  this morning as I usually do. I can only listen to them when the kids are engrossed in their own conversations on the way to school though, if they are too quiet and listening, they start to ask me questions or I hear them talking amongst themselves and laughing because they heard someone say "butt" or anything else they deem funny. I will never forget the time when Intern John was talking about his first kiss and how either he or the girl had braces and the kiss ended with one of them getting cut and bleeding, my boys went to town! They were giggling and commenting on how crazy this was and OMG he hurt her and she was going to bleed to death and blah, blah, blah. Well, needless to say after that the radio stayed on Kids Place Live the entire ride to school and until they exited the vehicle! Since today, my boys were on 10 the entire ride to school, for whatever reason, I was able to tune in and catch the War of the Roses segment...

I'm a Cheated Slacker!

10 weeks to go!! My count down is about to be on!! Ok scratch that it is now 6 weeks to go. It has literally taken me an entire month to finish this one post what is my problem seriously smh. Such a slacker! Any who, I can't believe my pregnancy is almost over. Although it has seemed long it doesn't seem like its time for it to be almost over. My lil munchkin has really been making his presence know these days, flipping and tumbling all day. Sticking lil hands and lil feet into my ribs, poking my bladder I mean the whole nine yards. I'm almost still in awe that we made this happen again and that in a few weeks we'll have another lil Jones added to it posse... Amazing! Although I am getting super stoked that my time to meet my next love child is right around the corner I still feel like I was cheated. That's right cheated! I couldn't still wear my cute heels as I see so many 2nd and 3rd trimester women donning. I was so clumsy in my 1st trimester that when I trie...
