The last day.....

not really going out on a good vibe. Woke up this morning, a touch on the cranky side. Didn't get better with the kids trying to "help" take the Christmas stuff down. But they did listen when I told the boys to play in their room. Khloe did a good job of helping and not getting too much in the way. Still a little sore from my surgery on monday. Did I forget to mention that to anyone? Yep, Sure did. I had thermal endomentrial ablation and essure springs put in my tubes. Long story short, no more kids for Brett and Jaycee. And yes, it's what we wanted. It seems a little weird that at 30 I'm not having any more kids when friends I've know from high school are just starting their families. But then again I do live in Utah now. I was reading blogs and my friend T left a comment that really hit me hard (in a good way) Thanks!! I need to get writing my goals for the year and how I am going to accomplish them. But I have til midnight right? I think the kids are finally getting over their pink eye and colds! YIPPEE!! Maybe we could actually go do something. (knock on wood) I feel that the day will become better...even if it's half over already.

Working on it

I have decided that I am going to be happy. This came to me the other day while I was folding clothes of all things. I remember when my parents died. That I was a pretty strong person and stress didn't get to me as much. What changed that? I realized that it's the way I think. Right now, everyday little random things get me stressed or angry at no one in particular. Why is this? I believe it's because I don't think I can do everyday things. I sometimes don't think I am a good mom. So if I think it it happens (or so I think). That is why I am changing my thought process. Thought are very powerful, more powerful then I think most of us give them credit for. So my (powerful) thoughts for today are I will be happy, I will be a great mom, I will be a loving wife, I will be a wonderful friend. Tomorrow I will figure out how I can do that, one step at a time.

Merry Christmas!

To Everyone that has read the house blog, Thanks! Since it's done for the most part, I will switch this to a Daily thought blog. I've just been thinking about things and need an outlet for them. Not to worry, only positive things! thanks for reading!

Crown and baseboard

Brett found a lady on ksl selling baseboard and crown for .20 cents a foot. He bought enough baseboard for the whole house and enough crown for the frontroom for $70!! It looks really good. We are still debating whether to paint the crown. We kinda like the pine. The baseboard is going to be painted white.

I really like old houses. The only think I don't like is the fact that ours has no insulation. Needless to say the cold weather we have been having is going to be expensive for our gas and power. We are going to have to think of something so we aren't paying an arm and a leg next year.
