Today...

"peace I leave with you ;my peace I give you. I do not give you as the world gives. do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid." John 14: 27

Frustrated....

Why? sometimes I just don't understand. The last 2 to 3 weeks have been very frustrating for me. And very challenging to say the least.  this week I am taking a vacation. actually the vacation is not even my doing. But my boss'. She's a good friend and could see that I needed the time off and needed to take time for myself.  Starting tomorrow. Jamie will take the boys for his 3 days. And I will get some time just for me. I have a massage scheduled. And a few  doctors appointments. Just going to try and get some things done. And take some time for myself.

Hopefully it will help... If I could remember, my Jesus Calling devotional had the greatest verse today from Isaiah... But of course I don't remember it....

lazy Sunday morning!

SATURDAY...
Taxes - done
Playdate - success
Church - AMAZING!

Now for Sunday, let the day begin!  we plan on having a lazy day. Watching Disney Junior. Playing Legos.  I'm going to cook up a mean chicken sandwich.  and just enjoy the day!

what does your sunday hold?

We all DISLIKE Car Insurance at some point

Well in 2012 I didn't have the best of luck with my phone or my car...  I was in 2 accidents..  One was minor, but the other I totaled my car...  Yuck right? Well so much for accident forgiveness with Farmers...  Just got my renewal notice in the mail...  My car insurance is going from $160 a month to $270 a month!!!  Can this single mama catch a break!!!  Geesh...

So this weekend I will be car insurance shopping.  But its one of those things that you have to pay and they got you by the booty..

Anyone have a good company they like?? Or have any advice?  Is so leave a comment..  I know I have a select group since I don't want my family on here..

Anyways, going to spend my Friday doing taxes... another blah....  and then laundry and getting the house in tip top shape for the weekend.  I feel like I haven't had control since my parents were here.  Time to get back into routine for sure!!!  Then the reward will be scrapping if I still have minutes left!  LOL  Then I will be excited for the boys to arrive home Saturday morning for a fun play date with our friends the Spraggs!

Exciting visitor!!!!

My very good my friend Michelle from Sioux Falls South Dakota, will be coming into town spur the moment for a business trip. I'm excited that I get to pick her up from the airport and spend the evening with her! To top it off I even get to stay at the Butes.  yay me! It will be just what I needed. We will be able to laugh and have a great time over a bottle of wine!

Park time!

Night out...

what a wonderful night! It was much needed. My friend Kim and I went out on spur the moment and met up with some other great people.  it was a fun night and I laughed so hard. now I will go to sleep and rest my head and try and get re energized for tomorrow. The boys will arrive home at 7am. Not sure what our day will hold. I'm sure it will be laundry and Legos.
