2010 Sunday Coupon Schedule

Never stop being amazed.

Never stop being amazed…at what God is doing in your life. When God “winks” at you, give back that amazement.

I’ve been watching Joyce Meyer’s Relentless series on podcast. She was talking about how often times we lose the amazement of what God is doing in our lives and I believe this will lead to some dry areas of our lives. She mentions paying attention to the “winks” God gives. You know, when something happens in your life when you know it was just from God. Giving you a little wink saying “I see you. I love you.”  Ex: The other day I lost something very important and was getting mad at myself. Very upset. Well, a little while later, my daughter came up to my husband holding the very thing I had lost. Relief! (wink).  Or when you are looking up at the sky and you see a shooting star. (wink). Or when you happen to go by your favorite product at the grocery store and it’s on sale and there is a coupon! ha (wink). I hope to go on an on…just not in this post.

Better late than never.

I think the above phrase is my motto, apparently. I seem to do things when I get around to them (and come on, who doesn’t). Then I justify my tardiness as “better late than never!” Don’t get me wrong. This phrase definitely has it’s place at times. Like: “I just put that diaper on my kid” or “I just fed my kid” or “I just completed a 10K!”

 But putting away laundry that has been sitting on the couch, hidden in the ‘office’ of our house….that’s just laziness. Oh well. Better late than never! ugh.

This is just a little note about my wonderful friend Sarah!

You are great and I love you! Thanks for the snacks

Just little something

I felt like writing something at this moment, so I flipped open my laptop, got write to my post, and this is all I have so far.

Actually, I am supposed to be doing several things at this time and need to end this.

At least I got down “just a little something” for today!

…ugh… “Get over it!”

If there is one thing I lack in life…(heh, I wish it was just ONE)… it is organization. and follow thru. and consistency…and ..you get the idea.

Kayle is now 2 years old — well, he will be tomorrow officially — and I have not really kept up with the baby book. Haven’t kept up with blogging about what has been going on in his life. Don’t quite know why both kids even have their own sites (…um, husband?)

anyhow, I think my new philosphy is going to be “Get Over It.” This really started from when I put on my bathing suit and realized it did not hide the fact that I still have weight to lose. Darn it! I was going to change or put a shirt over myself and thought “GET OVER IT!  Obviously I need to lose weight and nothing is going to hide that. Get over yourself.”

Instead of getting hung up on what I should be doing or should have already been doing, I am just going to stop making excuses and START doing! 

So today. I am bloggin. I made a hair appt for Kayle. I went and looked at an area we are interested in moving to. I called the Realtor. I started to look up doctor information on our insurance page..and then the kids (both) got up.

I have a load of laundry in the dryer, one in the wash, and one to be folded. Marathon “movie/laundry” night. Mandatory attendance. Wish I could skip that.

Existing. That is what I have been doing inlife. Just existing. That word doesn’t even look right. Weird!

Anyhow, I am going to exit :0) here and start doing something else.

I like being productive.

It makes me feel happy.

Mental note for today

Things to add to the baby book. Not sure why I don’t just go to that book now and enter it. Hmmm.

Anyhow,

Kayle is 24.2 lbs according to our bathroom scale (which he enjoys standing on). He now says “dog” instead of the sign for dog when he sees a picture of one. He signs and says Tree (for a few weeks now, acutally). Loves trains (choo choo) and cars. And every rectangular object is a choo choo (diaper wipe box, long legos, etc). He enjoys making marks with crayons and pens.

Rylynn goes tomorrow for her 6 month check up. She is eating cereal, applesauce, and we added bananas yesterday (4/1). She liked them! She also scootches and begins to go “back on her hind legs” a bit as in she is getting ready to then push up and crawl. But that has not happened yet. When she is really tired she says “nnnnnnn” “nnnn”. It’s cute!

March 29, 2009

First, I can’t even believe it is 3/29/09. I had so much I wanted to accomplish and already a QTR of it is over!

Goal 1: Organization

First, I need to start with my inbox. Holy cow? 3274 emails just floating around in there. Why can’t I just delete them when I am done or save them in a special folder?

You know, let’s just end here, post this, and go delete some emails right now.

Being pro-active!

Just to put it out there…

Since I am the only one who reads this, I feel that I should still have to update my page since it has been quite awhile.

Kayle is now 21 months and Rylynn will be 6 months next week.

Wow.

I better post this now and try for more later. The little girl is getting restless. She is not much into blogging at the moment.

Kayle at 16 months

16 months old and only 8 months of written life entered into the baby book. Tsk Tsk. I am so not good at that. Organizing. Planning. I think I need to work on that.

Soooooooooo, I just thought I would jot down a few things about my sweet little boy:

He loves to eat bananas. He has just started with PB&J sandwiches (thanks to Karyn) about 2 weeks ago. I have given them to him 3 times now and he seems to be ok with them. Mostly licking off the peanut butter from the bread.

Cookies, crackers, cheese, yogurt, watermelon, apples–though I cut apples into little pieces and he shoves them all into his mouth and eventually they all come back out. I am thinking he is just sucking the juice out. Hmmm

Cheetos, graham crackers, ice cream, yes..I do let him have a few of these items…pretty strict but feel a “slight slacking” since Rylynn.

He loves to books. He will sit and “read”. He loves all sizes of ball. Great arm that kid has. He actually likes to throw all toys like he does balls.

He likes to wear ball caps like daddy. He loves to put on shoes–any type. Any person’s.

 He hates a diaper change. He hates when I wipe his face or wipe his nose.

He loves to play horsey. And slide and climb on his indoor jungle gym. And slide down the crib mattress propped up against the wall (thanks to his daddy). The mattress that will be his sisters. He loves to climb on the couch. And the kitchen table (we are working on that–having him not climb on the table).

He loves baths. And hiding in his cupboard. He loves taking the towels that are hanging on the oven handle and throw them on the ground.

 He has 5 teeth. He knows where his nose is and where your nose is. And his sister’s nose (poor girl). He is learning eyes and ears…slowly.

He is learning sign language and says/signs “More” and “Eat” and “book” and is pretty good and “help” and is working on “yes”…along with several others.

He says “Mana” for banana. He says “no, mamma, dadda, shoes, nose.” He can tell you the cow says “mooooooo” (which sounds a bit like a cow with a southern drawl), and that the piggy says “oink oink” (more like “sniff sniff”.) For a dog, he makes a “panting” face.

He loves to jibber jabber. He loves to “hold” his baby sister and put his face up to her to “kiss” her and then squeezes her toes. And slaps her head. We are trying to teach him the two finger touch method like they show you at the Aquarium!

He loves to find rocks (”balls”) and pick up sticks. He loves the outdoors. The playground is his stomping ground.

He will turn on the t.v. (unless I close and lock the doors to the entertainment center). He will put things in the broken DVD part of the VHS/DVD player.

Most recently, he has started stacking things such as cushions and boxes (I think Santa is going to bring him some blocks!)

 There are so many things to write about in the life of Kayle. I need to document this. Oh sure, I did enter things on the calendar. I have that filled out at least!
