here we go again...

playing catch up lol man life flies by sometimes.

FREE FRIDAY:
What am I supposed to do with my life? Part of me wants to go to school but I'm having difficulties getting exactly what I want to do done. Then I had the idea to go back to work full time so I could make some more money for us to save up but then I'd sacrifice spending time with my kids. *sigh* why is everything so difficult to figure out? Why can't someone just tell me "Hey this is what you're supposed to do and it will work out great in the end?!" I've been praying about it a lot and now i'm contemplating doing a free program out here by the Red Cross for a dental assistant. More importantly and more soundly I think I'm going to apply to be a substitute so i'll be able to make some money, get out of the house, but still focus on my children which is so important to me. That's on the agenda for this week... pick up an application for substituting.

I do know that I want to really do everything I can while on island. I have a bucket list (oki edition) that is seemingly getting larger and larger. First up on the agenda... WWII Museum with hubs and then we're also taking the kids to the Children's Zoo & Museum :) I can't wait for that!!!

STORY TIME SATURDAY:
Hmm what's story worthy this week? For some reason I'm having a "blank" but whatever. This weekend was crazy busy between birthday parties, church and Easter celebrations plus the unwanted presence of a lingering migraine combined with a bad stomach issue. Needless to say not much cleaning got done this weekend. I am so thankful though for my husband. Last night before bed (and then again this morning) he told me "Please don't clean up tomorrow, just relax. I'll help you when I get home because I don't want you stressed out." Ummmm hello i freaking love you!! You're amazing!!! I obviously can't NOT clean so i'm picking up odd/end things but i'm not going to scrub the house like I normally would on a Monday. He's such an amazing husband and I'm so thankful for him.

SCRIPTURE SUNDAY:
Far too often than not people are seen celebrating Easter without knowing the true meaning of it. If it wasn't for Friday when God gave his Son for our transgressions then we would never HAVE Easter sunday. I am continually overwhelmed by the generosity, unconditional love and overflowing nurturing that God shows us. Yes we all have bad days but God never gives us  more than we can handle and He never leaves our side. God is great and HE IS RISEN!!!

MOMMY MONDAY:
On the mommy front... Sophia's now 7 months old :( She is not crawling yet but I'm learning she does everything at her own pace and doesn't care if her brother did it sooner or not haha. She scoots backwards a lot though. She had some yummy bread from Mac Grill and you'd have to ask her designated aunties what they snuck to her at the Easter celebration because well, obviously they were snuggling her the whole time.

T had a lot of firsts this weekend. He had his first trip to the bowling alley (celebrating a friend's son's bday) and he can carry a 6lb ball!!! Umm weird!! lol He loved it despite not really understanding that he had to wait his turn haha. He also got to hit his first pinata at our friend's Easter celebration. He loved that for sure. Come on what little boy doesn't like hitting something and NOT getting in trouble. And on the "bad mommy" front T kept trying to have a sip of people's beer at the Easter party. I was raised in Texas and have a lax view on parenting to a degree. I finally said he could have a little sip because i knew he wouldn't like it... WRONG!!! He said "Mmmmm more more wa wa wa wa" (wa wa=water but he calls everything water lol). I told my husband and he started laughing. I love watching our children grow up and seeing all the things they have to show us about life.
