Sometimes I forget that I have to take care of myself. I invest lots of time and effort into the children, Jason, work, football, and a million other things. Except myself. I have decided I need to stop doing that. It makes for a cranky momma. I have a BAD habit of passing up what I NEED so I can get the children something that they WANT. That's ludicrous. I have never been a high maintenance girl, but I still like pretty things every so often :O)
Yesterday I went to Target and spent a whopping 16.82 on myself. Gasp, you say! I know right..even when I'm spending money on myself I'm still a cheap ass and shop the clearance rack first :) For, this 16 bucks I was able to get a new skirt, shirt, tank, and a 4 color eyeshadow. Not bad eh? I also cut and colored my hair this weekend too. The cut was just a "clean up" cut, nothing major. The color was to a dark brown to color the gray. Apparently, I'm the ONLY one who wasn't bothered by my gray hair! LOL!
I was able to close the 2nd short sale on Friday. Whoo-hoo! So I decided that part of my hard earned bonus money will go towards ME! I'm going to get my eyebrows waxed and maybe even invest in a new set of acrylic nails. I HAVE to start walking. I have gained so much weight since I had Harrison. Well, actually in the last 4 months. Going back to work, and stopping the nursing took a toll on my eating healthy/walking regiman I had going on. So I have a small goal to reach by my birthday. I swore to myself I wouldn't let the weight come back on, so I need to be diligant!

Go, Go, Go
That's all we do! It's like a non-stop merry go round. Work, school, football, and now we are going to add dance and girl scouts. I got shirts ordered for football, and of course signed up to help lead a GS troop. Jason swears I'm a professional volunteer! I want to be involved in my kiddos activities. My parents never were and I hated that. So I try to do as much as I can for their class, sports, ect. It was easier when I didn't work, but I'm not going to stop b/c I'm working. I have a flexible job, who is awesome. Plus, I told Jason that he will be more involved too. There is never enough Dad's involved in their child's education. He can read to the class just like I can.
Jonathan is a little less excited about his braces now that he's had them a week or so. He looks so stinking cute though! It's been quite an adjustment on his diet. What he can and can't eat, HOW he eats. He's never had to cut his food into such small pieces before!
Savannah went to the DDS today and had 3 teeth pulled, 1 capped, and a cleaning. It was a lot, but it needed to be done before the dental insurance ran out. She was bleeding pretty good at first, but it seems to have stopped for the most part.
Jason is getting into the swing of school. Chemistry is going to give him a run for his money. His adviser is stupid and told to take Chem before Algebra. Um, anyone know what you use to do the formulas? Oh, yea...ALGEBRA! Stupid woman. I know he'll do well, but he's a little freaked out right now. His other 3 classes are cake though, which is great.
Grammie keeps H while Jason is in school. You can't imagine how happy that makes me! I love my grammie so much and I want my kiddos to have that same relationship/love too. Plus, he gets to be with family and I save $500 a month in daycare!
I am half way to my bonus! I have to make sure another short sale closes tomorrow, then it's all mine. Well, not mine. Lord knows I could never spend that much money on myself no matter how hard I try. It would be nice though :O)

Blogging is so on the back burner right now. Not on purpose, more out of convenience. Everyone who reads my blog is also my facebook friend, therefore you know about anything I would normally blog about moments after it happens. I will try to be better, I really will, but no promises. Especially now that school has started. Between work, the kids school stuff, Jason's school schedule, football, and trying to keep the house running smoothly, I'm not sure how I'll be able to maintain a healthy blogging schedule too!

Oh where is my Angel? Oh where is my Angel? Oh where, oh where, oh where is my Angel?
Busy! That's where! I have been meaning to blog and I just can't seem to gather my thoughts enough to actually get out a post! Jonathan started football so we are at the field 3 nights a week from 6-8 and in 3 weeks we will have games on Sundays. I was voted(in my absence)to be team mom again. I have been handing out fundraiser cards and prepping for t-shirt orders and spirit stick making. Good Times :O)
Jason's job made it official. He will not be staying on at WTI :O( That sucks ultimate butt, and is a total downer. We should be okay though. It will be tough for a little bit, but we only have one major "bill" that will not be taken care of and well, quite frankly my dear, I don't give a damn!
My boss told me on Wednesday that when we meet our 2010 goal, I GET A COMPANY CAR! Whoo-hoo for me :O) Hurry up 2010~ I am still loving my job. I learn so much everyday and I am starting to become good friends with one of the buyers agents. Friends...in Kansas..well I won't think about it now... Hehehe :O) It would be nice to have girlfriends again.
I posted all the Alabama pictures on FB, it's quicker to upload them there. I also posted the newest pics of the kids. Some of them turned out super cute! I'd love to see/hear/read your comments about them.
On Monday Jonathan gets his teeth cleaned and his impressions done for his braces. Then he gets the braces on August 18th. Agh! He needs them, but I'm so not looking forward to writing that 650 check for the down payment. It's seriously going to make me cry. Then it's ONLY 100 for 24 months.
School starts on the 17th for the kids and the 20th for Jason. They are all very excited. I am too. It means more money in our pocket b/c we won't be paying daycare! I'm not sure what we are going to do with H and his sitter. I will only need her part-time, but I don't know if she will want to take that pay cut. I hope so, b/c I don't know who else could keep him for us, plus we love her!
