This Last Week

This last week has been so crazy busy!! We have been sick and Jim is between Jobs and staying very busy. I have taken pictures of the deals that I have been blessed to aquire in the last couple of weeks but I have yet to find the energy to upload them. Also the last few days have been trying, to say the least. With Kaye's bouts of unending crying and Kris's constant demand for attention....I find that the days simply pass me by so frequently and with less of a head on my shoulders. I am usually quite exhausted at night. This last week it took me 2 days to put my grocery lists together...between taking care of poopy diapers, never ending laundry, and breastfeeding breaks, my time at night seems to just slip me by.

I have to say that I still strive to spend more time with my children each and every day. I need to find more things to do with Kris. She is tired of me having to take care of Kaye all the time. I think something special between Mommy and Kris is got to come to order!!

Today we did manage to go for a walk together. She loves riding in the stroller and looking around at all the sights.... I especially love hearing the..."Oh Wow!!" and "I see" of my little Toddling almost 2 year old. After our walk, I brought the girls into my parents house and I went out back to play with Kris for a few minutes. Mom and Dad have a fenced in back yard and I know that Kris loves to just roam around the yard, kicking the balls and playing!! I wish I could have stayed out longer but duty called.....well, actually, Kaye's demands called!! :) I did keep an eye on Kris from the window and she had a blast!!

Well, tonight it was quite interesting. While making dinner over at my parents house, Kris wanted Mommy's undivided attention. So she would run up to me and push me away from the sink or the stove. She just wanted mommy to spend time with her!! After I came to a stopping place, I sat down on the floor in the kitchen and Kris came over and sat down in my lap. We sat there for almost 5 minutes while she just "talked" and "sang" and cuddled with Mommy!! I love my little girls!! They are very special to me!! I pray that I can be the mommy that they need me to be!! Well, then we started on desert. I managed to pick up a Cinnamon Muffin mix from one of the local stores and we made muffins!! I took out all the ingredients and set them on the table. While my mom was sitting at the table, she missed too late that Kris had grabbed an egg. She has seen Mommy crack eggs on more than one occasion. So with her child like grip she tapped the egg on the chair....then proceded to land a perfect egg!! Of course I commended her on her perfect egg but admonished her to not touch the eggs unless mommy says she can. It was just too cute!! I should have taken a picture!! Well, dinner was finally ready and it was on the table. With our prayers said, we dug in. About halfway through the meal....Kris had fallen asleep. She didn't get much of a nap and it was past her bed time. It was just so cute!!

Well, Those are my stories for the night. Still trying to come up with a name for my new Website. Keeping my thoughts and ideas open.

Have a great Sunday and a great new week!! It is time for this Mommy to get to bed!!
