Outside fun

I have set up a plethora of outside activities for us to enjoy on this beautiful afternoon.
Going to have some fun with my sweet boy!

End to my time at Starbucks

Wow! I told my manager that my last day at work would be May 15th. Since then, she is scheduling more hours that I have ever worked at Starbucks in 2 weeks. I just finished a 6 days straight shift. Now, for next week, I am working Sunday-Thursday. I am thankful I get a nice paycheck at the end of all of this!!

I can't believe we have 23 days left until Graduation and my Birthday!

LAST DAY

This is the last day of the 6 days stretch of working. (40 hours) I am exhausted and feel that it is necessary to take a nap before my 3pm shift today. I usually am working on housework, but that will have to go on hold for today. I need to take care of myself.

On other news: potty training is going pretty well once we put the pressure off of him, he asks to go on the potty. Not trained completely, but we are getting there.....with pull ups on. :)

My back is almost 100% better. That is a relief!

Ben had a HUGE test this morning and is now at lunch with a leader of our church to talk about the Launch Team for Ben and I to be involved in the new branch coming to LaGrange. We are excited!

Graduation party invitations are almost all sent out! I can't believe it! 2 years ago, I was sitting wondering how I would make money for our family for Ben to go to school and the Lord provided! We own a wonderful home, were able to take trips, live simply, and enjoy the small amounts of time we had together through this wild adventure. I am not sad about the last two years. I know the Lord used the situation to bring us closer together and closer to the Lord. We can't wait for the next chapter and having my hubby as a terrific nurse and my soul job as a SAHM!

I hope your "hump" day is going well!

Storytime

We found out there is a storytime at the Library in town. We are going to check it out this morning!

Tickle Time

Jackson loves "tickle" time with his mom and dad. He will grab my hands and say "teh kul Da-ee" Then, Ben is dramatic and acts like it is soo funny. Then, we hear belly laughs from Jackson. After that, we both act like we are going to tickle him using our hands like we are clawing the air. (or, an old people arthritis hand workout) This goes on for 10 minutes. It is the best stress reliever. 

Our Sanity

For our sanity and Jackson's as well, we have decided to go to pull-ups for the time being. I think he thought he was ready for the potty and big boy underwear, but he is not. And, it is just fine. I know he understands how to use it and what it means. However, he had more accidents than successes yesterday . I have a fear that he will start holding it in and that worries me. He needs a consistent person to help him through this process and right now, he does not have one.  So, even though we have ONE DIAPER this morning, we will be going to buy another pack. And, it is okay. We would rather be a happy family than depressed and stuck at the house for another week. There are other reasons why we decided to wait, but I don't want to bore you.

We are going to have a morning of shopping and eating lunch. We are very excited about the time we have together and do not have to stress over potty time, for the time being.

Enjoy your weekend!

No drugs here just dilated eyes.

I had to get my eyes dilated at the Doc's office this morning. Then, I decided it was best to run some errands in attempt to get out of potty training at home.

Sad thing is that when I was in Wal-mart, I went to get an ink cartridge and on the way out, the store security system went off. I walked up to the clerk to see if she needed to check my ink. She said I was fine. I went back through it and it went off again. I hope they didn't notice my dilated eyes or I would have some "explaning" to do.
However,  I am sure I look like more of a normal person than most in that store. ha!

Now, I am back to potty training and attempting to fix our printer.
