How do you like my new blog changes? I did it all by myself=). The kids are still sleeping but not for much longer. I only have 3 so far. The other 5 will be here in about a half hour from school. The baby,Emma, is up and I am trying to write with her in my arms. I commented on your blog (CT) "I will not Fear". You probably heard that hymn before. Chloe is doing great in school. When they get back from school they want to play school. Chloe is the teacher. I have to stop because the kids woke up and the others came back from school.

It is almost 10:00 p.m. now. This weekend dad is going to help put new floors in Michelle's trailor. The old floors are bad off. Hopefully the weather doesn't stop us. Daddy deceided not to do the sleep test for now. He is doing alot better. He doesn't sleep as much so I think the meds he is taking is helping him.

It won't be long before we go on our trip. We are excited. Just wish it would have worked out that you would be there. I have it worked out with all my kids parents while we are gone. Chloe and Owen will stay with Corey's mom. She will stay at their house and put Chloe on the bus then be there to take her off. She took some vacation time.

So far everything is going well with the chyropractor and physical therapist. Dad hasn't started yet with the PT but will in 2 weeks from now.

I had an Aloette Show 2 weeks ago but she still hasn't closed it yet.So far its at about $600.00. She should be closing it by this weekend. There weren't any bookings though=(. One girl that is in our franchise made right under $19,000 last month!!! I would be happy with $1,000.00 a month.She is getting a Mercedes car in December. The company buys her the car and also pays the insurance and regular maintanance.
When she gets to a certain milage, I forgot what amount, she gets another one.

I don't know how often I'll be posting on my blog. Time just seems to be going faster and faster. I just can't seem to get ahead. During the day I try to do some but it is hard with the kids there. At night I can't stay up as late as I use to or stay up when dad leaves to go to work. I know I need to get back in a routine of at least staying up when dad leaves. Next week I want to start walking again. At our Aloette meeting Monday night, our franchise leader said we must first dicipline ourselves to achieve our goals then it becomes a habit and then it gets to the point where we crave it. It really is all about how you put yourself in the right frame of mind.

As we get older, I quess it seems to get harder to get yourself out of a rut. What we really need to do is to focus on thanking God that we are still able to make choices in that we can do what is needed to be done. Between babysitting, making fudge, being active in Church, helping out for religion class, doing some Aloette business, keeping up our home and family life, I keep pretty active and I feel there is still more I would like to do. Like take time to read books and just relax sometimes without thinking about what I should be doing instead.

Well, thats it for now.

I LOVE the new look!!! I'm very proud of you =) Yeah I saw your comment and commented back...I do know that hymn.

Alloette peeps are right...if you do something long enough it becomes a habit and you eventually miss it if you don't do it. That's how it is for me and reading. When I was in Amway they drilled into us to read every night before bed. I've done it for so long now that if I try to go to bed without reading first, I just toss and turn. I have to pick up my book and read for at least a couple of minutes then i can go right to sleep.

It's the same with prayer. If we get into the habit of spending time with God daily as part of our schedule, if we skip it one day, we definitely miss it.

Your struggles make you stronger. You of all people know that and that's why I believe you are the special person you are. I think you have a very special place reserved for you in heaven. I have never met anyone as giving, beautiful, kind, and passionate as you are. So, as you struggle through making sense of all your chaos, take time to think about all the hearts you have touched along the way, because Nanny you have touched more than just a few and I hope that makes the journey worthwhile.
Love Ya,
Michelle

Thanks, Shane and Michelle.Shane I know what you mean about skipping something one day and missing it. When I miss Mass on the weekend it feels like my week didn't start off right. Michelle, I guess I get times every now and then when I feel restless and wish things flowed smoother and I could do everything I need and want to do in a more organized way.

Some people say how bored they are. I really don't know what it is like to be bored. I guess that is really a good thing. My journey in life so far has had many ups and downs but my faith has kept me going and I feel there are some things I regret but for the most part I think everything happens for a reason and it does make us stronger if we let it.

I get in little moods once in awhile but I snap out of it after a good nights sleep. Thats why God made night and day so we can start fresh in the morning to face whatever He has in store for us.

Love you'll.
