Feeling behind

Well I have to admit I always feel so behind. It seems as if the laundry is always piling up and the housework never ends. With everyone wearing an outfit a day I have to do laundry everyday in order to just keep up. I am so lucky to have Ken because he is great at always doing laundry as well. I am also so tired all the time. I actually went to bed last night at only 9pm. I have to admit I slept wonderful. It seems like I never get enough sleep but I was feeling so refreshed when I woke up in the morning to get Ben ready for school.
This has by far been the worst pregnancy so far. Not that I have been unhealthy or had complications but because with having three babies already you seem to grow at an amazing rate. I have only gained three pounds so far but I am already sticking out like I am six months pregnant at just barely four months. It seems like the more kids you have the faster you grow. I don't know how my friend had been through five pregnancies. She is for sure a human super woman. I always tell Ken that I don't know if I am going to make it till the end. He always laughs and says "you say that every time". This time i'm pretty sure I mean it! I cant wait till summer. Not the hot summer but when you can open the windows and go outside without a jacket. A cool 68 degrees is perfect for me. It has been a mild winter and I am so thankful but still spring could not come fast enough:)

My music

One thing that I always love is when my kids sing. I love listening to my little ones sing while they play music. I found a presonus audiobox that lets you record your very own music. I would love to record them singing while they are small and really enjoy me listening to it. Then when they are older it will be a cherished memory that I will have forever. It seems to be pretty reasonable in price to have some cherished memories forever. Ken would also like to use it to record some songs that he plays on his guitar as well. I might have to look into one for the family hobby.

A Business

Ken always tells me that he would love to make fixtures like his job does at home and completely work from home and run his own business. I always encourage him to not quite his job because he does not have any clients and that means no money coming in as well as health insurance. We need his job right now. I do encourage him to try his dreams on the side if that is what he really wants to do but he would a stimulusfunding small business loans to get started. We might have to look into it later down the line but as for now he plans on sticking to his job. Maybe in the future he will start a business but right now I just don't think we have the time.

School is Back and Work

Well school is back for Ken and I already hate it! I really wish that he would have taken a semester off some days but I know that I will be happier when I have this baby. It seems like there is always so much extra work to do now that he is going two days a week especially when on Mondays when there is cub scouts right when when he gets home. I am hoping that this semester goes really fast since it leads into spring.
I am also hoping that Ken gets a promotion that has been in the works at his work since November. They have been talking about changing things around and maybe promoting him but it takes a lot of time to get everything done. In the meantime he has to pretend that he knows nothing about the changes because he has inside sources and that could really jeopardize his chances at the job promotion. So for the mean time he will just act like he does not know what is going on and hopefully sooner rather than later he will have a nice new job title and more money to go along with it. I try to keep this in mind when I'm having a bad day because I know it is something he has really been wanting.

A Charm

I have a few charms that go on necklaces that I never wear. I keep them because they are very special to me. As a matter of fact some of them are the very first pieces of jewelry that Ken gave to me when we were just dating. I really don't wear them because I don't have enough gold chains to keep them all on. These days the price of gold is so high that we just don't want to spend the money on getting a couple new chains right now. Right now I have a few chains and if I want to use a different charm on them all I do is change the charm and switch them out. It works for me and it saves me from spending more money on high priced gold.

ANNA MARIA ISLAND

ANNA MARIA ISLAND
Guest post written by my buddy Royce Heath
We rented a beach house for a week last summer. The house ended up being a great place. We were very pleasantly surprised. A friend suggested that we look into Anna Maria Island, Florida. It was a really great little island about thirty minutes outside of Sarasota. We flew into Tampa and rented a car. The place that we stayed was a great deal. It had beautiful marble counter tops, home security Florida system, a pool, beach chairs, and all of the beach toys that you could want. My favorite part of the whole house was the large deck that looked over the ocean. My husband caught some fish off of the pier and we grilled them right on the porch. I made margaritas and just relaxed the entire vacation. I had such a great time. I hope that we will be able to go back again next year. The water was a beautiful blue and the beaches a pretty white sand. Florida is a great place and in the United States, just a plane flight away!

Yoga

One thing that I have always wanted to try was doing yoga. I have heard that it is very relaxing and really relieves some stress. With three kids you can imagine that sometimes I can get pretty stressed out. I think that I deal with stress pretty well but I would like to deal with it in some sort of work out. I seen that yoga blocks can help you with just that relaxation that I need. I love everything about it do far because I like the relaxing music that they play while you are doing the yoga. It also increases your flexibility which i'm sure is good for your body as well.
