Hey All!...I am sorry it has been too long since I have last wrote! Its been close to a month since I last shared my testimony. I had 127 views. I'l just say I felt incredibly exposed. But as comments came..I felt a little better. I appreciated the positive comments...
I can't believe Thanksgiving was yesterday and before you know it it's going to be Christmas time...wow..
One Big Question:
Would it make me a bad mother if I skipped Sondra's First Christmas Music Concert?
Answer:
Yes- am I going to?.... Yes...
So- we scheduled our 2 day shopping trip a few weeks ago for DEC. 3 & 4th...We=My Mom Sister and sister in laws Aunts and a couple cousins...Not till this week when I was looking over the papers that come home in Sondra's bag about her Christmas concert that I realize its the fist night of her program...I will not even lie...I was so upset I was about about crying...okay...I was tearing up.. I was just so pissed...I look forward to the shopping trip..2 days of no worries except shopping and myself....Girl time...laughter...craziness... I text Jake..his reply..look at the bright side... we will go Christmas shopping for the first time ever together...lol..ya..my thoughts exactly...so at my 31 party someone said "Sondra is only in Kindergarten once"...My fast reply.."nuh huh she is in 2 yr kindergarten I'll see her music program next year"...lol... yes the pros of 2 year kindergarten... well you got me there...I wouldn't voluntarily skip out on either of my kid's functions...but I'm not going to skip out on something that I look forward to all year long...and I like to believe those 2 days Jake remembers why he keeps me around...lol...
One of the greatest stories from Thanksgiving... So before we headed to Greenville Jake wanted to stop up at his work... said he had a surprise.... well he ended up ordering me for Christmas some Victoria secret bras... and he had them shipped to his work so I wouldn't know...but yet he couldn't wait any longer to give them too me...so he gives them to me in the truck...and Sondra says: Daddy what about me???...Jake tells her she had presents coming to her for Christmas...Sondra pouts for a little bit...and when I look back at her..maybe 20 minutes had passed and I seen where she wrote with crayon on the window in the car!!!!!!!.... OMG... Jake makes her scrub it...and tells her how he is disappointed in her and all she can say for herself as she is sobbing: I was jealous!.....I had to muffle my laughter... and said a silent prayer for her future boyfriends lol... ohh wee you don't want to do that girl wrong...lesson learned.
I can tell you for the past month since moving in...its been a dream... wedded bliss.. lol..okay not all rainbows and butterflies..but a lot of stress is gone on my end... Jake gets stressed out b.c. of the task of being "mr. fixit"...but man am I happy... anybody that knows me can testify that the house in Lafayette beat me... no really beat me... it hadn't been spotless or semi clean in a long time... it just felt useless..we had no room for nothing... so with this house... double the size of our square footage..and you got one happy wife...things have homes... and if it can't find a home...it goes bye bye.....my 31 party really snuck up on me... and was frantic to get things just so... thanks to my lovely momma for putting up our pictures up and then more..well a whole lotta more...I learned that you can't just put up a picture..you have to have a shelf..or a sconce? beside it too..with flowers or little things too..and if I didn't have it...she just went back to her house and found it... lol..she also put curtains up in the kid's rooms and a valance over my kitchen window....also Rachel so kindly came over the Saturday before and Stuart's big tractor up on his wall....and the house does feel so much more like a home with pictures up....I'm so happy...I was a homebody before now its really hard to get me outta there...oh and another great thing.. before the party Austin came down and cleaned our back porch..it was amazing what he did in the short time he had..and then he came and cleaned out garage out..it looks spotless... he couldn't have done a better job!..I absolutely love it..I am so thankful for family coming and helping with the house..and doing things they know they can do...
