Morning! We had a pretty good day yesterday. Sadie had dance and is not moving on to the big girl class quite yet....but we're going to continue going anyway. We stopped and grabbed tacos for dinner. I had a meeting for church last night. I'm on the leadership team and we had lots of planning to do. We're planning a school supply drive to give to kids who do not have things they need for school. I'm also in charge of getting a team of people together to update our nursery and or preschool rooms. They need it bad. Jamie, you have a boy....what are some of his favorite indoor type toys. We really need to get some boy toys. I didn't fall asleep until about 3 am...just couldn't sleep. Good thing I had today off. I was up at 8am with Sadie though. I've already gotten 1 pan of Denver egg bake, 1 pan of bacon, sausage, onion, mushroom, cheese egg bake, and 1 pan of just bacon, sausage and cheese put together to bake this afternoon. I'm in charge of supper for tongiht at church. We're having those, bananas, cinnamon rolls, apple turnovers, and juice. Sadie and I are going to get dressed soon and head out to do a bit of shopping and probably a quick lunch before we come home for naps and to bake the egg bakes. Other than that I have nothing else planned for today. We have a bbq and softball game for church Sun....Mon is a bbq young adults campfire....Thur reg church.....the next Sun is our church picnic.....the 15th I am going to an all day training...then on the 16th we're having a church dessert night...doing ice cream sundaes at our house. Wow lots going on...summer will go too quickly...not that we've had any summer weather yet it's been very very cool here. July was the record coolest month ever for us.
Well, I better go get myself dressed and off to do my errands. Have a good one everybody!
Yesterday was okay for me. Work seemed crazy so I was grumpy by the time I got off. Wanted to go to bed early but that didn't happen. Hopefully I will be able to tonight. Not much planned for today but I have an odd vibe that things are not going to be as nice and easy as I want them to be. Hope you all have a great one!!

hanging out, telling secrets & doing homework, and such!! Now it is your girl's turns!!! And, the neat thing about that, is you get to know their frinds, and become close to them as well. 
I am sure it is a struggle, but it is also an adjustment to change, for all of you. 
Michelle, that is neat that Sadie might be getting to go to the "big girl" dance class!!! She is growing too fast!!!!! Hope your mental health day tomorrow gives you time for a "Brain Break" in between cleaning chores!!!!!
Tonight, we are going to go to the U-Pick farm & get some family time, getiing dirty & getiing lettuce, potatoes, and such!!!!
Have a GREAT day!!!

Happy Hump Day! Ohhh Court I've been in your shoes...teenage girls are not easy by any means. I've had one girl and one boy and let me tell you my boy is 100% easier than my daughter was. So much less drama, hormones, etc... Hopefully you can all ease into a new routine and rules fairly quickly.
I had a pretty good day yesterday. Worked, took hubby to the eye dr, went shopping while he was there, came home and worked a bit more. We then headed off to church softball where usually I sit and cheer. Well, last night they needed me to play so I played catcher. I actually had fun. I even hit the ball once...didn't make it to base but hey at least I made contact. I walked the other time and then had to worry that the guy behind me would run so fast he'd pass me LOL.
This afternoon is Sadie's last dance class of this session. We should find out if she can go on to the "big girl" dance class or stay in the mommy and me class. She really wants to be in the big girl class LOL. I have a meeting at church at 7 tonight. Usually they go quite long so we'll see if I get anything else done. I took tomorrow off for a mental health day...which amounts to a day of getting the house cleaned. I'm also making dinner for church tomorrow night.
Hope you ladies have a great day!
I am dragging a bit today. Busy weekend and then two nights up watching tv when I should have been in bed are not working for me. Tonight will need to be an early night. Nothing really planned tonight, I did not get anything done that I wanted to do last night so perhaps I will try again tonight.
Having some teenager issues as we all adjust to a new lifestyle. We are trying to establish our boundaries, rules, etc. and facing a bit of oposition. It is a learning process for all of us as we have never lived in their home area (near the friends, boyfriends, etc) or so close to them (they want to come over all the time) before and part of it is just the age factor as they are growing up and want/need more freedom. My poor husband is suddenly realizing having two teenage girls is not as easy as he thought it would be.
Have a great day!!

Court, sounds like you are getting settled in a little more every week, good for you!!! Isn't it AWSOME to have everyone over, and be a ble to have pride in your house!!?? Ya, I agree with the lots of work, but it sure is rewarding!!!
DH is on his way to the airport with his parents right now. I miss them already!!! I know that they are ready to go home, but they already miss the grand kids & wish that they lived closer to these 3 Hunter & DH's sister's 2 girls) up here in Alaska. They have 3 more (DH's older brother's kids) down in California, about 1/2 hour away.
Not too much planned for tonight. Since DH is going into work late, after going to the airport, he will be getting off of work late, so he will be home right around the time Hunter & I arrive home.
DH has plans to go down to Seward and go fishing Friday. His buddy is up from Colorado. He was one of our Best Men at our wedding. He used to live up here & has been frinds with DH for over 10 years. So, it will be good for thm to spend some "Man-Time" together.
I am all for that!!!!
Have a GREAT day, ladies!!!!

Good Morning! Sounds like had a pretty good Monday. Mine was okay. Part of me wishes I had more time to chill out yesterday, part of me wishes I had gotten more done around the house. Guess I just can't be satisfied. LOL.
Michelle, I hope you all able to get Sadie settled down. I have a nephew that has a difficult time with seperation, even when he is going with other family members that we know he is secure with. It is so difficult sometimes.
Not much planned for today. Work of course, then home to tackle more stuff around the house. I do have some specific goals in mind for this evening so hopefully I can get it all acomplished. Have a great one!!

Well, Monday is over yet again. Actually it wasn't a bad Monday either. We had a pretty good day...worked, went with Sadie to dance class, came home , worked some more, made dinner, took hubby over to WI to pick up his pool cue, and went to bed. Today I'm working 7 hrs and will be done at 1pm to take hubby to the eye Dr. While he's there I'm going to multi-task and run to the grocery store and Sam's club to get a few things. Then I have to come back and work another hour or more. We have a softball game at 6pm though.
We are struggling with Sadie going through some really bad seperation anxiety again. We are pretty sure it all comes back to the day DH had surgery and she woke up to grandma being here and mom and dad being gone. Mind you she doesn't see grandma real often so it was probably a big shock. She won't even go into the nursery at church again. I tried again on Sunday but she screamed. I felt bad for the girl that was in there and went back to get her. It's tough but we'll get through it yet again. I told her yesterday if she wants to go to the big girl dance class she can't cry for mommy LOL. She loves watching the big girls and wants to do it. Sept is when she'll move into that we believe. One good thing is I can stand outside the window and she can still tell I'm right there.
Any big plans on your plates for today? I need to live through someone!!
