a great day!!!

So baby girl has been so good today, I have gotten so much done. But the best part is I got to spend some one on one time with my precious older girls. My 6 yr old and 10 yr old daughters and I made some rice krispies treats and brownies. They were so excited and I let them do most of it all themselves with the recipe's. It was really nice to get to spend some time with them. I love getting to spend quality time with any of my kids. I make sure when I go to town I do not go by myself I take one with me , they take turns. That way I can talk with that one kid without little ones yelling and crying and everything else going on. This is what life is about. I have the windows open and the nice fresh spring air is blowing through as I write this. Tommorrow may be choatic or even tonight may be but for now I am soaking all this up. :) God knows what we need. Thank you so much Jesus for the beautiful , peaceful day today. One of my older twin sons has been so much help today also.

Ramblings

First I want to say yesterday I got out to go get milk and decided to use a Belk's gift card someone gave me for the baby when she was born . So me and my 6 yr old daugther stopped by there and picked some things out for the baby. when I got back home I was so refreshed and renewed. Just getting out a hour or so made so much difference. Baby girl did pretty good till around 3 am and then after that she was up and down. But I think if I would of not of gotten out of the house yesterday I wouldn't have been so refreshed to take on another night of not much sleep.
I am trying to get this house organized. We are totally running out of space. Well not really but I just hate when things are cluttered. Maybe I can get it the way I want it soon.
How is everyone out there??? Anyone faced the swine flu yet? alot of members of my church have had it( or well type A flu which they are just calling swine flu). that is why we have not been back to church yet but I surely do miss it.
Getting back to doing a menu plan sure has helped me. Dh has shot two does already this year and our meat is ready for pick today, so yahhhhhhh for that. We are trying to get all our debt paid off. I have been looking for a Dave Ramsey Total MOney Makeover book for cheap but haven't found it cheap enough for me yet. But we did find his baby steps online so we are starting to go by those. Please pray for us as we go on this journey.
well that is about it for now, I have two crying

At my wits end

Our newest blessings is proving to be a handful. She fusses all day and night. I cannot get anything done during the day almost except maybe some school and a bit of laundry and supper cooked at night .She is up most of the night. I have switched formula, bottles, pretty much everything. He ped. just said she is colicky and there isn't much you can do. I have tried fennel and catnip in her bottle which was recommended to me by a friend but it doesn't seem to help. Gas drops, gripe water, tylenol does nothing. I have done so much praying lately but I just feel so lost. I am so tired but still have other responsiblities, it is not like she is the only one in the house. Last night dh got up with me to help with the 1 yr old also cause he woke up and didn't want to go back down. I am not sure why I am blogging about this, guess I just need to get it out. I am gonna wait a while longer and if she doesn't get better I am gonna ask the ped. to check her for reflux. Maybe it is burning her throat. I don't know! Just say a little prayer for me if you do not mind.

Great vision forum giveaway!!

Menu plan for this week 10/26-10/31

Okay well last week was a bit off , i had to cook Wendsday because we kept the kids home from church cause the swine flu is going around really bad in our church so we are having our veggie soup tonight.

Sunday-Hot wings/garlic bread
Monday-Taco's
Tuesday-Deer cubed steak, steak fries
Wendsday-Pork loin, onion rings, corn
Thursday-Fried chicken,mashed potatoes,black eye peas,rolls
Friday-deer tenderloin on the grill and not sure what else yet

Saturday we are going to my moms to watch Ga/Fl. game and to celebrate dh's birthday late. It was nice when I was making my grocery list to find alot of stuff I didn't even know I had in the freezer so we do not have to buy as much this week making my shopping trip tommorrow less dreaded. I have been going once a week shopping since we are not getting our little's out due to all the sickness around. This is my first baby that has not seen the inside of Walmart when they were a couple of days old, she is already over 4 weeks old and has not saw WalMart . wow!! LOL
