This blog is moving.............

Yes, you saw that correctly!  I am in the process of moving this blog over to http://www.anotherdayinamomsworld.com/.  I am excited about this stage in my life and believe that it will allow me to reach more people.  Positive thoughts and lots of prayers are in my future and please be patient while I'm working on this transition.

The Holidays are Approaching and a Kindle Fire

It is that time of year again............

Time to start thinking about the holidays..........or if you're like me, you've been thinking about them since they ended last year.

I'm not as far along with my shopping as I would like to be, but I am also trying to plan my upcoming trip to Orlando and figuring out what we're doing while we're there.  (Disney, Universal, SeaWorld, the new Legoland, so many choices, so little time).  Also, my children are growing.  The older one doesn't really want toys anymore, my daughter is fairly easy to shop for clothing and accessory wise, but doesn't really want toys, and my youngest son has all of the toys from the older ones and doesn't need anymore.  However, he's not really ready for all of the expensive tech toys that my older two want.

I was just looking into a Kindle (for myself, I won't fib about that!) and saw the Kindle Fire can be pre-ordered.  I was intrigued to see what this new toy was all about???  I am truly amazed at what I found out!  Apps, email, books, movies, music, this seems to have it all!  I had originally been thinking about an ipod touch for my oldest but I'm thinking that the Kindle Fire may be the way to go.  I just wish it was coming out before my trip so I could take it on the road and well, roadtest it.  I know I would like it, hint, hint!!

Now what to get for everyone else on my list????????????

The Beginning of Fall, the Beginning of Colds

Oh, what a couple of weeks it has been......................

We got my youngest through the worst of his breathing issues and have been keeping our fingers crossed that it won't happen again.  Then this week he came home from school on Monday with a temperature.  So, I had company on Tuesday.  Not that I minded the snuggle time and the fact that I ended up sleeping most of the day! 

That is one thing that my husband cannot understand.  How can I just sleep the entire day??  I guess when my body decides that it needs rest, it need it.  I'm just starting to listen to my body more and more and ignoring what the type A me thinks I should be doing.  Like now, I should be cleaning my bathroom, but instead I'm resting on the couch writing this post.  My body doesn't really like to move too early in the morning, which is definitely hard with getting three kids out the door (well, five, with my two extras that come over). 

My list of things to do today, besides the bathroom, are laundry, dishes, general pickup of things not in there place and hopefully a little more baking, so I can warm up my house a little bit.  My long term list for this weekend is to finalize our trip to Orlando (all of the little details like transportation, who's meeting us there and is there a washer/dryer in my unit??), working on a realistic budget, so I can start setting more money aside, and paying bills.  Oh, and I'm sure my kids want their allowance from the past 8 weeks!  I really need to work on a schedule for myself as well. 

I think I'll get some worksheets going this weekend, in between playing with my crew and getting some yard work done.  It's supposed to be a beautiful weekend here, so I'm going to enjoy every minute of it!

If you have any ideas of what I can do on any of the above plans, please let me know.  Or share anything that you're trying to implement into your life.
