In a Funk...

Every just have that feeling like you are in a funk??? It isn't like there is this huge event that happened that is so terrible you can't go on- but seems like a bunch of little things just keep adding up? 

*Charlie wet the bed last night (after such a long time of not doing it)
*Drop your cell phone (didn't break thank goodness)
*Lunch that I brought literally disintegrated when cooking in the microwave
*spilled water on my desk (2nd day in a row)
*got a popcorn kernel stuck in my tooth
blah blah blah

Just seems like one of those days and I can't get out.

On a good note- seems like a good weekend is planned.  Bday party, dinner and visiting with friends, camping...... should be fun.  Hope I am more fun to be around then! :)

Hope you are all having a great day.

included a few older pics of the kids (from July).  Looking at pictures of them always puts a smile on my face- i hope it does for you too!!

2 months...

Really it has been 2 months since I last posted..... lets update: since the last time I posted I found out where the on button is on the vacuum (see FB status): 
The other night i get the vacuum out, plug it in then realize i do not know how to turn the thing on i wish i could tell you all it is a new cleaner- its not we have had it for months; if mike and the kids not been home i might have just moved the vacuum over the carpet to get the lines so they all thought i did it instead i had to swallow my pride and yell i don't know how to turn this fing thing on.
I also found out what the washing machine sounds like (see FB status):  Last night i heard this really weird noise in the house & freaked out- yelled for mike.... his response: "Jodi that is the washing machine"

I say these things but when I try to do the dishes/vacuum/do the laundry- mike yells "stop ill do it!" 

So a few months ago I got on a kick to redo the house.  We don't particularly like our house but know that we will be there for awhile so might as well try your best to make it something you don't hate- right?  So I took down most of the pictures and things on the wall, made some huge holes, patched them and then called it a night.   That night turned into a few months and here we are today.  So last night my desire to paint my house came up and my mother in law said "I told Mike I would come and paint.  But he told me I couldn't b/c you (meaning me) made the mess of the walls and you (me) would have to look at them until you (me) fixed them."  So what did I start last night- started fixing the walls.  Off to Lowe's we went, paint was bought and the process began.  It is a much bigger job then I thought it was going to be.  And now that the 1st coat is up I'm not sure we love the color but after it is all said and done I think we will come to like it.

Moving on---

Kids are great.  We got them bunk beds and they LOVE them.  Charlie thinks the top bunk is the best thing that could ever happen to him and Emmy is happy to be in the same room as Charlie.  They are keeping us busy and on our toes. 

We went to SC for a family vacation.  It was awesome to be away from work for an entire week.  Emmy loved her 1st experience in the sand and both kids loved being at the beach.  Mike got stung by a jellyfish and charlie came home with swimmers ear- but I think it was all worth it.

I'll add more pictures later today when I get home.

Hope everyone is doing great!!!

Overall things have been good.
