Not in the Blogging Mood...

I havent much to blog about lately or so it seems ..
Since Nov i have had a hard time feeling at peace and its been diffcult moving on...So January came and i decided that i was going to make some changes.. First of all i am not a goal setting or list making kind of person but i was tired of living a messy house and not being able to accomplish anything or have any time to do things i enjoy so as of January 1st i have been working my buns off trying to get my house in order at first it was really hard to notice any improvement but now its easier to clean for instance this morning i cleaned up the living room and i am glad to say there wasnt a huge mess that has been sitting there for days just a little one left over from last night and it only took a couple of minuts..and my kitchen has been the same way and the rest of my house is caught up.. you know there is the daily mess and laundry but i am glad to say that i am enjoying my new found free time and what am doing with it.. my other goals. practing the piano which i hope with piano lessons this year i can move forward.. reading my scriptures and just enjoying my clean house

New background...

Well i decided to do a new back ground.. but look what happened i no longer have a picture of my family or a favorite blog list can some come and rescue me PLEASE...... so i guess for now if you want me to check out your blog you have to leave a comment so i can click on your name just until i get it figured out..

HAPPY NEW YEAR ....2008

This was sent to me in an email by L

My Wish for You in 2008
May peace break into your house and may thieves come to steal your debts. May the pockets of your jeans become a magnet for $100 bills. May love stick to your face like Vaseline and may laughter assault your lips! May your clothes smell of success like smoking tires and may happiness slap you across the face and may your tears be that of joy. May the problems you had vanish! In simple words ............
May 2008 be the best year of your life!!!

PRETTY CHRISTMAS WREATH

I just had to post this wonderful wreath that i made in Enrichment Mtg..This is actually the first project that came home completed and it turned out beautiful if i say so myself and yes its actually hanging on the wall.

TAGGED TWICE

Thanks to Rebecca S and Tara L ---(they better leave comments please...;)
I have been tagged at first i thought i have nothing interesting to say about me and then i thought i could tell you all about my quirks but that isn't really fun either so as i thought about this for a long time i finally came up with a few...so here we go..

NEWLYWED STORIES
#1.. Back in 1994 Wally and i were married in the Chicago Ill Temple so we decided to stay the weekend.. we went to church and you would have never guessed who our Sunday school Teacher was Donnie Osmond and it seems like he was a great teacher.. but don't ask me what the lesson was about..???

#2..so we had been married a couple of weeks.. we had the opportunity to be chaperons at Youth Conference well everything was going well until the first dance.. there were some other church leaders concerned that Brother Ward was dancing way to close to a young women (me) when they questioned my husband he said that we were married....needless to say they thought I looked like one of the young women..I was 25 at the time..

Now for the rest i might put up some goofy pictures of me up.... other than that i am not sure

Winter Wonderland..

My Talented Daughter took these pictures today she really has a way with the camera isn't she cute.

Funny...

Bryan was sick with the flu for a week so on his first day back at school here is the conversation he had with his teacher...

Mrs O'b; what were you sick with...

Bryan; Morning Sickness...

Kids you got to love them.

LIFE GOES ON......

Well so it seems ... i come to understand that miscarriage is a personal experience and i am thankful for all the well wishes/sorry comments but somehow that doesn't seem to help me understand what i am suppose to do next... i mean i am functioning but as the weeks go on i am feeling a sense of sadness of the reality of not having another baby... i am left confused about the whole experience i mean we were surprised to find out we were expecting and then have to go through a miscarriage it has left me pretty dumb founded..in the past i have always known when another little spirit was suppose to come us and now i am not sure of anything.. there is a part of me that says that i really want to try but i am not sure if that is the right way to go..i guess life is hard right now and i having a hard time getting in the Christmas Spirit..

Sad News

I miscarried.........

THOUGHT OF THE DAY...

EXPECT THE WORST AND HOPE FOR THE BEST......
well at least it sounds good if you are not going through any trials... to add to our interesting lives i have started spotting which is not good so i went to the doctor and everything looks good i even saw the little heart beating so i am still expecting for now and now i get to spend the rest of my days wondering if i am going to miscarry and i have to say i so cranky about the whole thing...i would rather hurry up and get it over with if its meant to be or find peace that this pregnancy will continue on....

Just My Luck

I knew this was going to happen in fact i fully expected to have Morning Sickness so at first i thought okay i am going to be a big girl and deal with it and not lay on the couch looking like i am half dead. Than told myself that i am not going to have it this time (wrong-Ola sunshine) okay that wasn't realistic but its fun to dream right. so the least i could do is get my house cleaned up and try to keep the kitchen up to par so i don't gag every time i go in.. THAN IT HAPPENED.....The Flu...and not just any flu but worst one imaginable i mean i was gaging every time i had to go go.. i thought great i just wanted to die and then it got worse.. One of my kids came down with it and let me tell you its been lots of fun emptying the bucket and trying not to toss my own cookies..Oh the joys well at least i know that i am really prego.. thanks to the the morning sickness. Now wasn't this a fun post..aren't you glad you looked....

Here is a message my so compassionate hubby left me on the phone the other day.
When you get off the toilet give me a call back okay it doesn't sound funny but he was laughing the whole time he said this and just for the record i was laying down and didn't care to answer the phone.... Wasn't that nice of him.......
I will be so happy be past this phase of my pregnancy..

New Category

Since i am 38 now and will be 39 when i deliver i am now in a new category..are you ready for this its called ELDERLY GRAVIDA which means i am over the ripe old age of 35 and expecting
OKAY I have been getting used to the idea of having a baby and excited about it and hope that everything goes well but i refuse to get use to the term elderly gravida.. i never thought i would be in an elderly category at the age of 38 go figure.. its amazing how you learn something new every day..
