My Projects

Thursday, September 17, 2009

Although I spend a lot of time on other things, I spend my days with my 2 most important projects. My girls. Here is a slide show of Maggie's first year. I hope to get one done for Gwen too.

Make an on-line slide show at www.OneTrueMedia.com

This slide show is very easy to do. You just go to

www.onetruemedia.com

and upload your photos and videos. They automatically put random transitions between each photo and you can make changes from there. They have a lot of free music to use, allow you to upload your own music, or buy music. But it does take a while to upload all your photos.

My favorite things: I might not be Oprah or Julie Andrews, but these are some random things I love

Our new house, when I think of all the reasons why I love it, it all boils down to the fact that it is so much like the house I grew up in, which reminds me of my happy childhood, and makes me feel good that I am now passing so many of the same things on to my girls.
My Friends= Thank you for staying in touch with me and not forgetting me despite our transient military life.
Laying in bed with the girls-Almost everymorning some time after 6AM one or both of the girls make their way into my bed. It is so fun to lay there and relax with them. We talk to Sam as he is getting ready for work and try to resist getting out of bed.
My carpet cleaner- I have a bissle spot bot and it makes clean up of small spills so easy. I just put it on the spill, push a button and walk away. But it is only a spot cleaner and doesn't do the whole floor.
My family- I miss you guys everyday and hope we can move back someday soon.
my hubby- He works so hard in order for me to be able to stay home with our girls.
My girls- They are a TON of work, a TON of fun, a TON of blessings, and SO rewarding
Amazon Prime- Free 2 day shipping on TONS of amazon products. I could do a commercial on how much I love amazon!
Amazon wish lists- I can pretend like I am buying stuff, but I never have buyers remorse. Also, It's a nice way to store all my gift ideas and things I want to have someday... And I feel confident in buying a lot of stuff when I am able to go through people's reviews and not buy something in a store on a whim. Also, my girls are content in the store when I tell them we can't get something, but I promise that we will put it on their wish list.
blogging- I like that i have a place where I can organize all my thoughts, memories, and resourses for the future. I'm glad you enjoy visiting my site. But it's mostly for me :)
meat thermomiter- i can now confidently tell Sam that if he's sick it's not my fault
My Mini van. Some might not be mini van people but I am. I love how it is designed for a person like me. Your arms are full of stuff? Push a button and the door will open for you. You're worried about your kids hitting neighboring cars in the parking lot with the car door? Don't worry the van has sliders. You want to transport something big? Just fold down the seats into the floor and you are good to go. What's not to love? Now if you ever see me driving my dear friend around and take a look at the mess inside, don't take that as a sign that I don't love her. The fact that I can leave a ton of stuff in the van is just one more thing that I love about it. There is always an extra coat, pair of shoes, change of clothes, or book/toy to entertain the kids.

Things I HATE

Cleaning the kitchen floor- I feel like it is such a waste of time. Vacuming and sweeping always seem like necessary tasks, but I wish I could skip mopping all together.
Sewing machines-I love to sew, but i hate sewing machines. Sometimes I day dream about being supper rich and having someone on my staff who's sole pourpose is to fix my machine everytime it has trouble.
putting the kids to sleep after a long day- If they do 1 thing that takes 2 seconds longer than it should I snap at them. I know I should be more patient, but on those long days I just feel like I am so close to freedom and they are turning my free time from 5 minutes away to an eternity away.
cleaning the bathrooms- Especially the girls bathroom. It is a constant mess. The girls love to play with the water in the sink, the towels are never on the towel rack and there is toothpaste & hair things everywhere. When we were first married, we discussed cleaning responsibilities. It was determined that Sam would be in charge of the bathroom. Ya, that didn't/doesn't happen. He is good at tidying up, but that generally doesn't include any cleaner, scrubbing, or a mop bucket. Be that as it may, thank you for what you do get done Babe, it's always a good motivator for me.
STATIC-It is so hot in the summer and I want to wear as few layers as possible. So i hate that if I don't wear a slip, a dress that goes past my knees creaps up to midthigh in just a few steps. Not to mention the hair issues surounding static, when my hair is staticy, watch-out. I am misserable and grumpy.
When my husband cleans out my car. I love that he is being helpful, but i'd rather have the whole thing planned ahead so he can watch the kids and just let me do it because I hate the feeling of all my extra stuff being gone. Probably because that means that when I leave the house I have to actually be prepared. I can't rush the kids to the car when we are late and hope for a pair of shoes to be waiting for me there. I also hate it because if he does it he doesn't want to toss out papers or things I might need so he puts everything in a bag or box (that I am grateful for) but then I either am too lazy to sort through it when he tells me about it, or we both forget about the stash of stuff and all my stuff is lost.
