I Just Want To Sleep.


Well with a little girl who has tones of energy, keeping up a home, and growing a baby all I want to do is sleep. But this comes all in good time. I try to take a nap when Emma does but I often feel that I have so much to do that I should do as much as I can while she is napping so that I can spend more one on one time with her. Lately she has been taking a 2 hour nap, so I try to sleep for 1 hour and then get busy for the next but that doesn't always happen.

I forgot to talk about our new house in my last entry so here we go. This past Oct. we moved into a single wide trailer as we hosted an rv park in grand coulee. I can't tell you what a blessing it has been to since moved out and into our own place. We may be renting but it has a tone more room and we are right next to the park. I am looking forward to nice weather so that Emma and I can go exploring. It has three bedrooms, two baths, and a finished basement. I love it. The only trouble is, is that we have a garage full of boxes that are looking to me to get them unpacked and put away, and well we are not even there right now. It has been a struggle to get the house put together while we are supporting Harvey with his job. For Feb. we have only been home for one week, I got a lot done but at the same time I feel like I have got nothing done and still so much to do.

We are in Vancouver, WA for two weeks right now. We are at the end of week number one, at the end of next week we will being going to Pasco for Harvey's Saturday School, then from Sat. School we will be going to Spokane for some friends of ours birthday's. We will stay there until Sunday, return to Grand Coulee, were I will have to turn around and go back to Spokane Monday morning for my initial OB appointment. Fewwww, this is our life always moving, always going. But the word is that we wont have to travel too much, well at least not as much as last year.

Looking forward to a good nap,

Anna

You know, I read somewhere that your child's nap time should always be YOUR time. No chores, no to do lists, and no feeling guilty. It feels kind of wrong at first, but you do deserve Anna time, and there is nothing wrong with taking it. When mommy is happy and healthy everyone else in the family is too. Sometimes it puts you further behind, but I am convinced that stay at home moms deserve a break and we never leave our job, so you've got to take what you can get! Fill Emma's nap time with something you love or that you've been putting off doing because you've been allowing yourself to be the last priority. Scrapbooking, watching an episode of your favorite TV show, online shopping, or take a NAP! Take a little time for you and I guarantee you will be glad you did. I love you!! Hope this helps. :)

I totally agree with Sarah. Just to survive you have to have some time to yourself. Other jobs get 15 minute breaks every few hours, so the least you can do is allow yourself that! :) I will admit, it will be ALOT harder (okay, practically impossible lol!) to do that after you have more than one child, so do it while you can. Although you HAVE to get the BABY FAITH dvds. They are literally a God-send. Even my 8 month old can be entertained for 15 minutes lol, so I can take a shower without children crying or knocking on the door wanting to know what is going on. Whew. Being a mom is hard work, but what a blessing it is!

If its a Good day make it Great day!!

I have 2 rounds of Chemo now, this first week after treatment seems to be the worst. The nausia isn't too bad, they have given me a lot of diffrent tools to help with that. I do suffer from exterime ecaustion, a kind that is like nothing I have really never had before. Well maybe combind a really bad hangover and a newbron baby. Yeah that is close. My body feel very heavey and I know that my insides are working overtime. After my first round my boys came berrling out of the house sayting that they were ready to be my bald budies, so tht next morning we did just that. With Hannah's help we came up with a very fun head cover. The second week is much better and I feel much more like myself and can do more things. I try to do what I can but I have a wonderful support system that is always keeping thier eye on me and will to step in at any given moment. I have been so humbeld by all the love a support that I ahve been getting. I trully am so blessed. I wonderful thing h...

Big Changes!

Where to start? I had my CT scan and my full body bone scan, and both came back clean!! Praise Jesus! So that being said I am at a stage 3 and nothing has changed. The cancer is all in my right breast and no where else. I meet with my oncology Dr. tomorrow to figure out all of my chimo stull. I will be getting a port and I belive my schedule will be a 3 on 4 off, but I will find out more tomorrow. I would like to thank everyone who has provided food, help, contunide prayers, love, and support. There are so many that I would need a book to get all of you listed. You all are loved so much, ans so appriciated. This week we got to have family pictures taken, the day after that I took William with me to get my hair cut. He was having a hard time with the idea of me being bald. Well he handdelt it will, so well that he said, "Mommy you can hold my hand, it will be ok". Oh this boy of mine. I love his tender heart so much. He could see I was having a hard time with it ...

Endurance, Perseverance, Hope...

As many of you know, our two oldest children were blessed with the opportunity to go to the Diamond J Rodeo Camp. This is their second year, but it feels like it has been a life time. I was really hoping and praying that I would be able to go and was thinking that I was going to have to miss is this year. It brings so much joy to not only to our children but to me. I leave there filling filled with the Holy Spirt. The relationships you gain while there are lifelong ones. I truly consider them family. That all being said I was able to go and the girls grew in both their rodeo skills as in the relationship with Christ. God truly has a way of speaking through people and there were many times that I felt that He was speaking directly to me. On the last night, Pastor Al had asked us to close our eyes in preparation to pray, then said, " Now look at yourself" I did, and to my surprise I saw a beautiful version of myself. I thought to myself this must be how God sees me. I...
