last day of vacation!

well my wonderful boss give me the week off. Just for me. And it was exactly what I needed.  I'm going to spend my last day without the boys. Having lunch with a good friend. Scrapbooking. Then having dinner with another set a fabulous friends!  God has blessed me in so many ways. And I just need to be still and shine His light.  and remember that he has a plan for me. Weather I know what it is or not. He will  provide and bring me the fruitful life that I deserve. 

Valentines day

Best day ever!!! Volunteering at jacksons school!

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....

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!
