overwhelmed

I have been completely overwhelmed lately. I think I just need a little get a way by myself. No LIE! No, hubby, kids, espically animals, no parents, no friends, no phone or computer! Just a good weekend will do me some good I think. I am gonna start praying that this dream can come a reality ASAP! I think a good two days would do me some good. To read, to actually think, to not have to clean or feel like I have to clean something. For people not to ask we whats wrong 24/7 would awesome! I am tired of saying nothing and it be a lie. I am just plain TIRED, wore out! I am sure as soon as I get one day of complete and total peace I will be dieing to get back home to my hectic life. For now its just a dream...........

On another note, Kaylee and I are leaving for the Ester conference tomorrow with our church. She is excited about it. I on the other hand and just blah.....I guess that comes with being so wore out.

Even better news is DJ is getting Baptized Sunday morning!!! Now this is something to blog about. My little man is only 6 years old and he is so HAPPY!!! I am happy about this. As wore out and tired I can't help to smile and get so excited for my baby.

See life isn't that bad.....

March is one of my favorite months of the year!

Today is a HAPPY day!

It didn't start that way either.

It started out with being HOT not being able to rest without dreaming. When I dream I wake up tired. Like I have been on the go the whole time I was dreaming.

Kaylee and Emilee both had friends stay the night and they want to be right there with me everytime I did something. I'm not complaining about that I am just writing that...I love my girls and their friends! I had to watch Granny for a tad bit today and I didn't think I would ever get my clothes started. I did get them started but only one load. I got the dishes washed FINALLY but I am about to start dinner so that will soon be a bye bye on the dishes. Oh how I yern for a good dish washer.

Some good news is my plants are growning FAST!

I sold my iPhone for double what I paid for it!

and last but not least....

My mom ordered my some cute clothes and they came in!!!



I couldn't fin a whole picture so I did the two above.

I also got two knit skirt just to knock around in!

And now David and Dad are grilling and the kids are playing outside while we swing on the swing or rock in the rocking chairs!!

Till next time~Val

Then here is our little tomtoes

Just wanted to share our excitement!

My favortie time of year.

We finally started our gardening for this year. We bought our seeds and potting soil and where in full gear the day before yesterday. We also bought one flower hanging plant and a mini bird feeder which is pictured at the bottom. Its too cute!

We are off for spring break and Kaylee visited MiMi and Pappy and then her BFF forever Rebecca in Magee. So she wasn't here to help. She was greatly missed I can tell ya that by ALL!

First we got our dirt ready and then it was seed time. The kids loved the spray bottle I bought for them. Most of the time they over water and I figured this would help out an I would not have to stand over them like a hawk ;-)

 We started with these for some of the seeds

 ready to start planting!!!

 All of our seeds, minis okra.

We planted-watermelon,califlower,beans,carrots,cucumbers,squash (two types)tomatoes and one other but I can't recall what it was.

 She's adding warm water and waited till they grew!

 my big girl helping!

 My Dad surprised me with this kit. I talked about having a herb garden a few times and he thought this would be perfectto start!

Some more exciting news!

So today we went to our land to look around a bit. Someone from church bush hogged and made us a road leading to our property. Once we got to looking at it our land started closer to the road than we thought! Then as we are sitting there my Dad says y'all should of bought all of it. You see we only got 5.002 and there was 11 acres total. We just thought 5 was enough. Well God had a way of telling us it wasn't! We called while sitting on the back of the truck and BAM we sign papers for the rest of it tomorrow @ 3pm! QUICK I tell ya!!!
We are so excited. I have already picked out my house site. We plan on buying a used/nice mobile home around the first of the year and we plan to stay in it until the land is paid for. Our loan is for 13 years but we have a goal to knock it out in 3 to 4! Praying that everything goes smoothly.

We have set down and made a huge adjustment in our spending. I am cutting out Curves, my Iphone and Days Iphone as well. No more going out to eat! Maybe once a month...MAYBE! This alone with save HUNDREDS! As soon as my 3 months is up for violin we will be stopping that as well for awhile. I know I will miss all three of these things but I am super excited about whats next. That is a good chuck right there is ya can believe it! We know that these really are small things but when you have a goal, you put it first!
I was not looking forward to moving out there at first but now that it is half cleared it opened my eyes..WIDE! I am in heaven thinking of all the things I want to do.

Spring

I am happy that it is spring time. The flowers are blooming and the weather is just right! We have already grilled and ate outside twice!
I love when the weather is just right. Not to mention our rental house we live in is perfect in everyway :)
We have two drive ways and one is a covered carport so we move my van and set the tables up and light the grill! LOVE.....

Today my in laws came in from Ms. We where very excited to see them. We grilled steaks and made my yummy potatoe salad and I popped open a mean can of baked beans! LOL I am not a big baked bean eatter but David loves them. On the can it says great for BBQ's. He like em' I'll warm em' ;)

Kaylee went home with them until Wednesday. I haven't really been away from her all that much so I am a nervous wreck since she left. I am used to DJ spending the night with my Dad or Emilee but Kaylee is usually always home with me. She is my big helper. The chick I talk to when her Dad falls alseep with the chickens! (ha) So she will definately be missed these few days she is gone.

Now onto getting an extra hour! Can we say. "YES!" I love to sleep and I am always late for church so I am totally excited about the possibility of being early.

Last but not least. We are going to be planting some veggies this week from seeds. I thought about using plastic cups or just buying a little mini green house kit. Not really sure yet on what we are gonna use. I guess decide on spot when I go to buy our seeds. My PawPaw is planning to get over one day this weekend and till up some rows for us for our veggies. I also think I am gonna get a satsuma tree and put it in a HUGE pot.

Till next time~Val
