Hello again!

Once again, I am having a hectic weekend. My sister-in-law and the twins are staying the weekend here because she had to go to the hospital on Friday to preadmit for her MRI first thing Monday morning. With her living out of town, we figured it would save on gas to just have her stay here. So, in my little 3 bedroom apartment, there is 3 adults and SIX kids all under the age of 5. Let's just say, it gets very interesting. I am wanting to run away just so I can have some quiet time to concentrate. HAHA!!! I am hoping that I can get all my homework done in a timely matter with all this going on. I don't want to have to do everything in one day. I know I can do it, but I don't want to because it tends to not be my best work.

Change of subject....
My oldest daughter, Lanissa, is turning five in June. I am going to try to start planning her party early because I don't want to have to rush around like I did for William's party. What ideas does anyone have for a 5 year old girl? I'm still in shock that she will be 5 and in Kindergarten for school next year. I can bet that I will be crying like a baby on the first day of school next year. hahaha!

Well, I'm done for now. Have fun!

Long weekend!

Hello all! This has been the longest weekend that I have known! Friday, I drove to Keyes to go get my sister in law so that she could get some groceries for her and her twins. It's only a 15 minute drive but it seemed like it lasted forever seeing how I was trying to figure out what to do for my son's birthday party for Saturday. THEN, my mother-in-law showed up and WOULD NOT leave. This woman drives me crazy! She is always trying to tell me and my husband how to live, how to raise the kids, and she even tried to tell me that going to school right now was not a good idea. I don't get along with her very well and she stayed over here for 6 hours!! I felt like shooting her when she left. LOL (I really wouldn't but the thought was there!) After this, I had to leave and go make the car payment that left us completely broke for the week! My husband was so grouchy and was taking it out on me and I about blew up. We got back home, and I went straight to bed because I had a BIG day ahead for Saturday. We woke up about 8:30am and I got all the kids dressed and changed and left them with Daddy while I went and got the last minute things that were needed for the party. By the time I got back from all the errands, I had 2 hours to get all the decorating and cleaning done for the party. I barely got it done. It was all worth it in the end because William had a blast and seeing his big smile made me forget about all the stress from that morning. He got tons of toys and much needed summer clothes. We all had so much fun. Then, today, Brian had to go back to work and the kids have done NOTHING but fight all day long. Bedtime is in one more hour and I am looking forward to it very much! I have a lot of school work that I need to work on and I still need to finish my FAFSA for the next school year. Well, I am pretty sure this was boring to read but it helped me vent a little about my weekend! haha!

Hello everyone! Sorry it took me so long to blog. I have had such a busy week that I have been behind on everything. I am going to blog about this week. I thought it would be a great thing to blog about because it has had so many ups and downs.

The first of the week was the most eventful. I was planning Kaysie's, my youngest daughter, first birthday. I am still in shock that she is already a year old. We had about 25 people show up for her party and Kaysie had a blast. It was hilarious watching her go after her cake. She had it EVERYWHERE! She got tons of new clothes and toys.

Also this week, I found out the the owners of the apartment complex that we live in is coming to do and inspection and they want every apartment spotless when they show up. All I can think to myself is that my apartment is NEVER spotless when I have a husband who works full time, I am attending school, and I also have four very young kids. This is one hectic month for me.

Also this week, I am starting the plans for William's, our son, 4th birthday. I still have no idea what we are planning for it. He has so many favorites that I don't know what to do for the theme yet. Anyone have any ideas for a four year old boy? LOL

My birthday is this month as well. As a matter of fact, it is Friday the 16th. I don't have any plans for it because we can't afford anything extra this month. I may just declare it as my lazy day and make the hubby deal with the house and kids. hehe! Well, I better get back to work on cleaning the apartment. I am running out of time!!! AHHH!
