Really?
Ok I have been so bad lately, no blogs in forever. I have been super busy with the kids, house cleaning, baseball and visiting friends and family. I went to a family bbq/baby shower for my half sister this weekend. It took 29 years for me to find out about her, yes as you can tell my father and I didn't really have a relationship. It is really crazy to me that I now have a sister because my entire life I was the only girl, raised with 3 brothers. On top of trying to get to know her, some of my family that I hadn't seen in 18 years were there. Tlak about a bit awkward! So anyway my life is crazy.

Blah!
I had a really good day yesterday. I got to go shopping and didn't do much house work. But today seems to be a gloomy day. I'm not sure if it's just me or if it is me missing my baby brother. These days hit me all of the sudden with no warning. I guess I need to try to do something that will cheer me up.
My children's school is having a book fair this week so I think I will go up there and get them a couple of books today. I told them they could only have one or two books and they got upset because our neighbor got three. I have been trying to teach them that they are different than everyone else and they don't get to do things just because someone else can. I guess that is hard to understand for a five and eight year old.
on my journey to myself I have been painting a little. I would like to have one day a week to sit down with no distractions and paint whatever comes to mind. Maybe that is something I will talk to my husband about. I need a few ideas of what to paint though, so I guess I better start thinking of what I would like to do!

Thursday Five
1. This cali girl misses the peaceful visits to the beach, now that I live in Texas.
2. Anyone that knows me should feel loved, because I go out of my way for anyone that needs it.
3. When I hear my three beautiful daughters laugh, I am reminded that life is awesome.
4. Lucky is being a woman.
5. It is a smart to let your loved ones know just how much you love them each and every day.
This is my first week to follow but I truely enjoyed participating.
This really spoke to me!
... that you are perfect as you are. God doesn't create faulty life. No. Everything created by God is perfect, and so are you. So stop driving yourself mad with endless ways to improve, and just accept the glory of your being as is.
This is todays daily message from a facebook app. Since I am on journey to find balance in my life this really spoke to me. Now how to I get people in my life to realize this and stop takinga advantage of me?
just one of those days!
My day started out fairly well. my older girls got up and ready for school without too much whinning, and they got to school on time.But now I am feeling overwhelmed in my wifely duties. My one year old is having one of those days where she doesn't want anything but to be held, and is super whiney. that makes it bit difficult to do any house work. The only reason I can do this is she is on my lap. Today i feel held down without being able to move a muscle. I have come to enjoy being a house wife a bit but when do I get a day off? I don't get to sleep in on the weekends because I do have a one year old, and the weekend is my husbands chance to sleep in. Plus if she wakes up in the middle of the night she wakes him by playing with him. If I take a nap or don't get enough house work done during the day it makes me look lazy so I very rarely take a nap. But why is it the first time in a long time I lay down with my girl, my husband comes home to find me napping? That just makes it look like that is my daily routine, when in fact I normally take advantage of nap time and get things done. I feel like my whole life has become filled with everyone else but how do I find me? Can't do with a baby attached to me, or when my other two girls come home from school, and weekends are out so?
