Books, books, books.....

I have started 3 books and I'm having the darnest time finishing them. I'm a terrable book reader and so I start a couple and never finish them. I have enjoyed the book by Robin MCGraw "inside my heart" she shares about the fact that you make your life the way you want it to be and be confident in yourself and your decisions. I love her passion for life... "The five people you meet in heaven" keeps me thinking about have I touched someone's life that they will remember me, who would be my 5 special people after I die that will come up to me and tell me that I made a difference in there life.... It is a cool book to read almost done with that one. Then there is "I was a good mom before I had kids" that is a pretty funny book. It seems like it is my every day thoughts sometimes. As I read it, it is nice to know i'm going thru the same adventure as other moms all over AMERICA! I tend to be hard on myself as a mom and this book is great to know that feelings that moms have are normal... it really is a fun book... written by 3 ladies. And FINALLY..... my mother in law suggested reading the new one by Suze Orman! Has anyone read that... fill me in, did you enjoy it? I plan on buying it once I finish my other THREE!!! So any suggestions... I'm determined to finish ALL the books in the next month or two. I wish I had more of a desire to jump into books. Wish me luck!

Hunter and mommy went to North Carolina to visit Granny and Papa McFaddin and also Hunter's cousins Anya, Adria and Logan. Alicia got to spend some fun time with her sister Bethany and Brother in law Neil.

We had fun going to the park, mall (with 4 kids) oh yeah that was a crazy trip!, most of all they played played played. We miss them living so far..and love them dearly!

GOD BLESS THE AMERICAN HOUSEWIFE!!!

This picture is Alicia and her sister Bethany and all the kids.... We went for a week, the weather was beautiful. Our days consist of constant running. As we sat down one night it amazed us as mom's all that we did. Wake up, get everyone dressed, feed them breakfast, all the kids say is ~"mommie" we play, "mommie" we read, "he hit me" we color,"she is taking my toy" we watch a movie,"i'm hungry" LUNCH TIME!.. cook, (convince the kids to eat what you made) wash hands, clean kitchen part way till kids want attention..."mommie", "she hit me" "hey that is mine", o.k. kids NAP TIME! (then the next 1hr is spent trying to get all 3 kids to sleep), Give up and just let the kids play! Snack time..."no mommie I want fruit snacks not a bannana", clean up living room for the 2nd time. Outside time... "hey that is my bike", "mommie, mommie" dinner time... shoot who has time to cook... GO GET PIZZA! All the kids love pizza! Bath time... SPLASH SPLASH SPLASH! Wash kids, dry kids, PJ time. Clean up living room for the 3rd time, crayons, bathroom and now time to read books. Prayer time... thank the lord we ALL survived a fun filled active no nap day! Ahhhhh kids are in bed "mommie I have to go potty", finally quiet time... but wait my days isn't over. Finish cleaning the kitchen folding the laundry and oh now I can take a shower. "God bless the american house wife" hats off to all of you amazing woman and mothers!!
