I learned how to post pictures

Yeah!! I finally learned how to post pictures. I don't have any flattering ones of me, but dang I have a beautiful family.

Insomnia

So I really need Shawn to go back to working dayshift. I just can not sleep with him gone. It is amazing the things you can do at night. I just finished making 7 baby bracelets for all my friends that have girls and for Autumn and Morgan's other sister Oakley for her birthday. I made 15 bows for hair clips, but can not finish them because Karolyn has the crate of bow supplies at her house. The other night we were up till 4 am making flower clips. When all was said and done we had enough to cover Ashtyn's whole head. Not one ounce of hair was showing. We get a little obsessed sometimes. If anyone needs lace for baby headbands let me know. I have 700 yards of offwhite. It is a little eery not having a child screaming. I was watching the NFL draft that I had recorded on my DVR, but the more I think about it, the more I feel in limbo about what team I am going to cheer for. With Brett Favre (my boyfriend) retiring I relized that I had been loyal to a player not a team for 13 years. There is that small hope he will come to his scenses and come back. I will still cheer for the Green and Yellow this years. I am a cheese head at heart. Plus I have almost all the girls programmed to say Packers rule and Cowboys suck. Cowboys being Shawn's team. August better get here fast because the NBA playoffs barely equal a preseason NFL game in excitement for me!!!!

Count your blessings

I am so thankful for my Oldest, Autumn. She is such a good girl. The other night after another explosive tantrum from Morgan at Karolyn's house, and her talking down to me at my friend Debbie's house I had had enough. When I was trying to get in the door with Molly when we got home I tripped, hit the step with my knee, and blood got all over my favorite pants. I sent the girls to get PJs on and brush their teeth. When I went down stairs 10 minutes later Morgan was sitting on her bed clothes on and teeth not brush. I screamed went up stairs and bawled. Not silently weeping. Bawled like a baby. Autumn was so concerned. She got Morgan in bed. Changed Ashtyn's diaper and put on her pajamas. When Molly woke up in her carseat Autumn got her out, changed her and brought her to me to feed. She gave me a huge hug and told me I was a good mom. She just knows what I needed to hear. She went and got me a water bottle from the fridge, because she knows I get thirsty when I am nursing Molly. I have felt better since my little emotional breakdown. I hate that Autumn has to take on stuff like that, but I know that she likes to. The next day she got them all ready for bed again. I wonder sometime if she knows how much she has saved me so many times in my life. I am so thankful for my children and everything they do for me. They drive me to be better everyday. I am usually the one that masks any emotion with comedy and laughter, but feel that today I need to share my other side. It won't happen often, but somehow letting everyone else know how much I appreciate Autumn makes me feel better since she is a lot like me and just blows emotions off. She is my minny me. I will have to tell about "CREATING" one of these days!!!

Just started blogging

So Karolyn has talked me into blogging, but I am not quite sure how to make mine all pretty like everyone elses. I just think it is a great idea because I love to know what is going on in everyones lifes. It also let's me know what is going on outside my hermit shell (home). Four children... four girls...four raging balls of estrogen that threaten to blow at any minute make it a little discouraging to go anywhere. I love my children, but sometimes wonder if we will all survive raising them. Hopefully I will figure out how to get pictures on here for all to see.
