Still settling in...

I start to catch up and then fall back behind again. Hoping after baseball is over (November) I can get my schedule worked out and get ahead. Then I'll be on a break from school too so that will help. I can't believe we've been in the new house for a month and a half already. It's a little stressful though because we still need to rent our old house out. So much going on all the time and the holiday's are right around the corner. Hopefully next year will be the start of better days and I can get to a place where I really want to be.

Long time no Blog!

WOW this move is really taking it's toll on me. We ended up getting the house but between moving and trying to get the old house on the market I'm just worn out. Hopefully we'll get the old house rented soon and in the mean time I have to start working on a new cleaning and laundry schedule. There is a lot more to clean here now so I really need to get my stuff organized. Add to that having to do homework and observations and then add to that 2 of the boys in baseball and I'm starting to feel stretched a little too thin. I'm a little overwhelmed but once I get settled I think everything will be ok.

I'm going insane!

This whole buying a house thing is going to make me insane, if my boys don't do it first! Long story short we keep thinking we are closing on a certain day and then something happens and it changes... so here I am losing my mind not knowing which way is up. As of now we are set to close, I think officially and for real this time, on Monday afternoon so we can start moving in that day! So here I am packing, packing, and packing while trying to clean. On top of all the house stuff the boys are starting Fall Ball soon and Logan has his first ever try outs (he starts coach pitch this season) on Saturday morning! Add to that my toe that is probably broken so it hurts to do stuff for too long and I've started observations for school and it's just crazy, crazy, CrAzY!

Free Stuff?!?! YES PLEASE!!!

so... this is just pretty cool :)

Mommy VS Cloth Diapers

Overall I LOVE my cloth diapers but Jameson and I were having a tough time last week dealing with leaks. I couldn't quite figure out what I was doing wrong. Turns out I may have dried them with a dryer sheet (big No-No!) once or twice and then I figured out that Jameson just pees... a lot... So I started to double up on the absorbency levels in the diapers and we are sittin' pretty now! An occasional leak here and there (but nothing that wouldn't happen in a sposie* either. When we were camping we didn't take the CDs** and I was so excited to get back to his CDs and his fluffy butt! LoL We still do the sposies at night for now since I don't have quite enough to always make it through the night any I'm worried about him leaking too much since he pees so much and sleeps pretty well through the night. Even though I got a little frustrated with the diapers I'm glad I figured it out and I'm so thankful for my wonderful friends that made them and sent them to me! If you are interested in cloth diapers (or any other cute handmade things) you should check out my friends pages on FaceBook!

B2S 2011

OMG! I can't believe my baby is a 1st grader! Monday Logan started first grade and here it is Friday and he's finished his first week. He (as you can see to the right) was very excited to start school! I think he was a little nervous too since he requested that everyone take him and walk him in. Of course the parking lot was nuts so we decided to park in front of the new house and walk from there (our new house is so close to his school, it's going to be so nice when we get to move in!). Hopefully next week will go as smoothly as this week and the rest of the year will follow suit.
Hubby also started his Fall classes this week and I'm not looking forward to it since he's going M-W-F so that's 3 mornings he is gone instead of 2 and 2 days instead of 1 that I pretty much don't see him at all. Luckily I was able to get my school stuff worked out so I get a month break right now and then a few months break after Thanksgiving and then don't start student teaching until Fall 2012. Horray for more time with my babies!

So Long Summer Vacation!

Medina Lake

While it's the end of August and every day we are still hitting temps over 100 degrees summer vacation is officially over. Logan went back to school yesterday, I can't believe my *baby* is in 1st grade! Of course we had to squeeze in a quick vacation before B2S! Since it had to be a quick vaycay we decided to spend 4 days camping at the lake. The boys absolutely love it and they loved it even more when their Papa (my dad) came by for a night.
