HI all,
Can you believe that October is here already? FAll is officially here. Time goes by faster each year that I get older. Well I had a bunch of girls come over for scrap weekend, we had a great time---it was themed " Death by Chocolate" I think I have had so much sugar I am having withdrawls---yikes! I am going to have to do a cleanse just to feel normal at this point.
We shared stories, bonded, we walked 3 miles, we worked on our projects--we just had good girl time! I am so thankful for my friends.......They really just keep me centered.
I am going into this new week with open eyes--I felt good over the weekend I didnt think about the house, or the stress of my situation b/c my mind was focused on other things--so I was happy to get the much needed break--but now I think about how I am going to get all of my cleaning done in the meantime b/c the house is a wreck--as soon as the kids got home--the floors got all muddy b/c it is raining . GREAT! OH well--you have to love all of the little ANGELS! right?
So I ask everyone to please continue praying for us----I really don't know the answers to our situation at this point. HAve a great MOnday!

I hope today is not just another day.......
HI All,
Well Wed night was a rough night for me , I slept 2 hours, I got up and threw up in the shower all because of nerves. This just isn't right. SO I decided to do a fast yesterday, every time I felt hungry I prayed. This house situation should not have me as stressed as it does, I need to learn how to trust God . SO I went to prayer. I was actually able to sleep a bit last night, but I did wake up a few times hungry and so..... I prayed.
I actually feel better today, I know I need to learn patience, it is a virtue right?
SO I am setting my focus on something else. OH but I have to say --yesterday I was reading another self help book with scripture ( I might add) and I had a thought......I need to pray for this couple b/c I have been thinking of how rude they were for keeping us hanging and it was really upsetting me---if I pray for them and ask for God's blessing upon them it would make me feel better and that is what I really should have done in the first place.And SO...... I prayed!
Today I am working until noon and then a have COMPANY coming.......hurray for me! I will write about all of my adventures when I check in on Sunday. I hope you all have a good day!

The longest week
Hi all,
Well we still have not heard yet if we are going to sell our house to this couple that put in an offer. However--I went to go look at a house yesterday and I love the house! It is advertised as a 7 bedroom house with 2.5 bathrooms. It actually has much more potential than that -there are many un-finished rooms. So if my house sold today--I would put in an offer on that one immediately. I could adopt a slew of kids, I could house missionaries--I can think of all of the limitless possibilities with this house. My kids would all have enough space to live and then some. I am very excited about the possibilities of this house. Please pray for me this situation is very stressful and I need to learn to just TRUST GOD, I know he has a plan for me.

UPdate...or no update
HI All,
Well I still have not heard if our offer has been accepted so PRAY,PRAY, PRay and pray! We are in limbo once again...I think this is supposed to teach us patience.
I made an appointment with my agent in SPokane, so we are going to go look at the house on Wed. afternoon. Tonight the boys had football practice and I read a few chapters in my self help books. I feel the more I study them the more I know I am right where I need to be and still growing. I hope tomorrow I will have more to write about. Have a great night.

Still Waiting.......
HI All,
Well funny thing happened on Friday, we got an offer on the house, it wasn't exactly what we wanted but it was negotiable ( I think) so we counter offered, the people came by with about 6 or 7 people on Saturday to look at the house again , before they decided what to do with our counter offer and we still haven't heard anything, hopefully we will hear today. I am thinking since they didn't immediately reject it and unless they are completely turned off by something they saw here--they will probably give us another offer or take our counter offer. We shall see. SO after we delt with house stuff on Friday night, we went to celebrate Cole's birthday at the bowling alley, we had a great time, much needed fun time!
Saturday the kids had a football game they won again, so for games on the record they are un-defeated. Then Saturday night I let the kids have a few friends over for a sleepover, needless to say we all didn't get much sleep. Sunday we relaxed a little,cleaned the house a little and I scrap booked a little. I talked to a few of my friends in Spokane and none of us can wait until next weekend b/c we are going to be scrapping in our jammies all weekend! wooohoooo!
oh I forgot to mention.....the little house in Fairfield that I fell in love with sold, we found out Friday night..Rob and I were both very disappointed. Rob does not want to live in town and I kind of like the small town environment for the kids, so I spent 2 hours looking for a decent house in our price range outside of the city limits-- I found one, count them one! anyway I am going to try and go look at it this week, it is an old Catholic school that was converted into a house 18 years ago, it has 8000 square feet and a 4 car garage and I see alot of potential for it--so I want to go see with my eyes and then go from there. I need all of your prayers! HAve a great day!

Hello
Hi All,
Well since my last blog--alot has happened--I threw a birthday for my mom--it was a big one--the ol' FIVE_ZERO! Anyway--My aunt and Grandma helped me pull it off since I live far away and it was as success--my mom cried b/c she thought I had forgotten since we threw the party 2 days after the actual date and I had never called her--so kudos to me! haha
My kids a had another football game and they won--although they played another game again tonight and lost--ya win some and ya lose some--oh well!
We have had a few lookers come to the house--no more bites--my contract is up with my agent in a few weeks---I think I am going to take my house off of the market and maybe just continue to live here--we are doing fine --my husband will just have to find a good job here, b/c I can no longer go thru this hassle of being invaded by people looking at our house all of the time and trying to keep it clean--with 6 kids. Rob is tired of traveling back and fourth and living a nomad sort of life, sleeping at different houses. We are thinking about it, while we have the next few weeks and we are going to pray about it and see what happens--maybe someone will buy it in the next few weeks and we won't have to worry about it??? ya think?
I am meeting with a college counselor in 2 weeks to get my packet of paperwork and take some placement tests--but I want to start college winter quarter if it is possible--so I am excited about that--a new adventure!
Rob will be home tonight and we are going to go to football,clean the house, work on the deck and try to clean out the garage? Does this sound like fun? anyone want to help?
Well I hope everyone has a great weekend! Be thinking of me working all day long!

FRIDAY!!
Hi all,
Well I am back at work today--sheesh! Rob came home last night, I am happy about that b/c I may be able to get out of going to football practice tonight--wooohooo! The boys all had their first game on wed. night and they all lost , but they all had good play time for the most part. last night while at practice for 2 hours, I walked for 3 miles and I worked on a few bible studies , so I got in a bunch of good quality time.
This weekend my boys have another football game.
We haven't had anyone come and look at the house this week and I am OK with it b/c , football isn't over until the end of October and then the holidays will be here , and it won't hurt my feelings if we don't have to move during the holidays. The longer I wait the more prices are going down and so are interest rates. SO I know it is all in God's timing!
Well I will update you as to how this weekend turns out--have a great couple of days!
