MORE SNOW!

This is what it looks like today. The kids have made some snow forts and now they are jumping off the chicken coop doing flips off in to the snow.

All snow covered.Maycee and Braysyn
Another shot out of my front window, see how far it comes up on the house.
Our grill.
This is the trampoline again, compare the one I took yesterday from my earlier post with this one, that is what we got overnight from about 6 on.

SNOW SNOW SNOW

Wow is all I can say. This is our trampoline out in our back yard, it is pretty crazy. Wait till you see the pics of it in the morning.
This is looking out my back door up towards the back of my Mom and Dads house, it has just snowed like this all day.
This is out my front window, this is my flower bed in the summer, pretty crazy.
Maycee couldn't wait to get out in this stuff, it came clear up past her knees.
My mom came down to shovel the snow off of our Tramp, she couldn't stand seeing it on there I guess, bless her heart, she is always so willing to help out. I just looked out the window and you can't believe how much is back on there. That is another post tomorrow.

I'm gonna miss this

I know It's been awhile since I have blogged, it's just that FB has just taken over. I just seen this really good post that McKmama posted and it got me to thinking about things. I have been so stinking ornery lately, I don't know what is wrong with me, I honestly just feel like...like..giving up. I try to be nice but things are just so overwhelming to me. I feel like I clean and do laundry all day trying to make everything nice, then the kids get home and back packs and coats go flying, dinner needs to be made, homework done, basketball practice attended, scouts conquered, piano and guitar practicing supervised, scriptures need reading, family home evening needs to be done, husband needs some attention too. Does any one else feel strung out sometimes? I feel like I can't possibly be pulled any more ways. There is not a moments peace until 10:00 when everyone is taken care of and in bed. When do I get taken care of? Well, I guess us Moms don't. Oh I'm not complaining that no one cares just that it is alot on one plate. Clint does a Fabulous job of meeting my needs, he totally takes care of me...I guess what I'm trying to say is that I am just exhausted sometimes. I am trying to paint Landyn's and Austyn's rooms downstairs and that is stressing me out too. And gaining 10 pounds since November definitely does not help, I get so ornery when that happens, I am back on my diet.
Anyway, whoosh...that was alot of complaining, I had to talk to someone. But I was all feeling sorry for myself last night and I read THIS POST and realized that it is so true, I know I am going to miss this, sometimes I just need to be reminded of these things in my life. Hopefully I can stop being such a baby and just get on with things huh! Make sure you read her article that is titled "I'm gonna miss this"
