So normally when shiny things enter my life..... it is gorgeous jewelry from my husband who loves to spoil me. However, this time - it is a new truck! Well an SUV...a shiny black, pimped out, brand new Yukon! It's gorgeous.... and every time I drive it, I think I call more in love with it. So now we are a no mini van family.... finally! We are so not minivan people...and I don't think I should have to be punished in the vehicle department just because I have a million kids. It's gorgeous and I love it!
We're in the process of some home reno's.....also very exciting. Keith has moved into the office we built on the main level... thus opening up the upstairs office he was using and now will become a bedroom. So now ALL 6 kids will have their own rooms. Which is fabulous as I swear if I have to hear one more time 'her stuff is on my side' or 'I'm only cleaning my 1/2'.... I'm going to scream! So now... after this weekend everyone should be in their new accommodations...and I get a little bit closer to that thing called 'sanity' that I hear of.
All in all things are ticking right along. I'm not so good with the renos at times as I know it has to be chaotic before it gets better....and I just need to learn to relax a bit. But it is awesome...and if I need to get away - at least I have a gorgeous truck to run away in =)

ok ok....so it's been a while.....
Apparently more people spy on me than I thought... and after a few comments & remarks...back by popular demand....
1. Glad that winter is over.... the past few days have been filled with sun, blue sky & lots of outside time. Of course though, I still have something to complain about. When it's too cold for the herd of children I have to play outside....they drive me crazy some days..... but then the weather improves, I kick them out....and they bring back with them dirt, sand, rocks, and a multitude of other out door treats. That being said - I'll deal with the extra cleaning if it means my sanity is back.
2. I've determined that your life is only as stressful as you make it. Yes, I've posted something similar before - guess that means I either haven't fully learned it yet or it's just really important. Either way - RELAX!
3. If you want to know how I am and what's new with me..... text, email, or pick up the phone -- do not wait for me to contact you. I'm not a mind reader and have no clue if you are wondering how I'm doing.
4. My happiness vs. The happiness of others..... I'm so over it. I'm happy....my children are happy & healthy - that's all you need to know.
5. I'm trying to decide what to plant this year. Last spring I had all these great thoughts, ideas, plans..... but things sort of went egg shaped with kids and stuff so now this year I'm prepared to do it (back to that whole taking time for me thing). Definitely want lots of gorgeous flowers....but also thinking of trying my hand at some edibles. Stay tuned....
6. People that dont speak are usually lying. I consider not saying stuff as bad as lying. Just grow and set and tell the truth.... grow up!
That's my rant for today =) ahhhh blogging, very therapeutic.
Nothing else new or exciting - doing some house renos so that's interesting.... stay tuned on that as well.
