My Baby Doll!

I am a "Fighter".  What are you?

This little girl is definitely a HANDFUL!!!  I am not exaggerating when I say, "She has been into EVERYTHING!"  The boys were never this challenging!  I can't count all the things that she has done in the last week!  I REALLY need a date night!!!!!!!!  As mommies of little ones, we never get to "clock out" for lunch or go home and recoup for the next day (I barely have time to shave my legs!)!  We are sleep deprived give, give, givers!  I know that for me it is a divine privilege to be a mother, but I really think that I need some "recharge" time!  Does that make me sound horrid!?  I'm just dreaming of a little getaway for me and Clinton!  I have to just dream about it because if we really did go away for a bit, I would miss the children terribly and whine about them needing their Mommy!  So what do I do?  I feel like I need a tiny break, but I don't want to leave my little babies for more than a few hours!   Argh!  

The other thing is that Clinton deserves my undivided attention also.  In the past, when we have gone away for a day or two, he felt a little disappointed that I cried about missing the kids instead of really enjoying our time together!  This doesn't make a whole lot of sense because I am completely "batty" over my husband and LOVE being with him!  Maybe it is because the kids are still very young.?.   

In need of a VACATION!!!!

My internet is finally working again!  It has been out for a few days and Emma put my phone in the toilet!  It works only sometimes while plugged in!  So, I better say "Hello!" to everyone now!  While I have the chance!

We are doing well.  Staying very busy!  Hopefully, things will die down a bit soon!  I would LOVE to be on a warm and sunny beach somewhere!!!!  Oh, my goodness.  That would be lovely!!!!!!!!!

The kids and I were just sitting together and talking.  We started talking about babies and if we wanted any more.  Clinton and I are not planning on having any more, but I was curious to know what the kids thought.  When I asked if they wanted Mommy and Daddy to have more babies this is what they said:

Ezra - "No, we only have 4 wii remotes and right now we each get one."

Ethan - "No, she poops and stinks and climbs on the counters."

Owen - "Yes.  Two babies, so we can all have one.  And I'll name mine Hannah.  

He meant that if we had two more babies then he and the boys could each have their own little sister to play with.  I know it probably wasn't very nice to ask them if they wanted something that they are not going to get.  I just wanted to know what they would say.  It sure was cute and gave me a laugh!  I love asking kids questions and hearing their funny answers!

:( Bye :(

My mom and dad left this morning :(   My mom had been visiting since last Wednesday and my dad came yesterday.  We all enjoyed having Mamaw with us for awhile!  It was an added bonus to have Papaw come and spend the night last night!  We love you two!

As they were pulling out of the driveway, Ethan said, "The worst part about having someone visit is that they have to leave."  They love their grandparents so much!  

She taught Ethan how to knit while she was here, so I guess he will have to teach me!  I enjoy crocheting though.  Knitting looks a bit more complicated!

Now we have to go catch up on the school work that we didn't do on Thursday and Friday!  Have a great week everyone!!!!!!

Enjoying The View!

You may have to click on the picture to be able to see the little birdie.



It is so nice to enjoy the view of God's creation!  

While sipping a hot cup of coffee, on a cold morning, I watched the deer and birds go about their morning routines.  I absolutely love being able to watch the wildlife here.  (At our last house all we could see out of each window was another house!)  We just put out some corn for the deer, and Clinton is supposed to put up a bird feeder for me on Friday!  It doesn't take much to amuse me.  I guess that's a good thing?!
