{BAD DAY}

Today- I completely lost it and I am embarrassed to share details, so we won't go there. I don't know what's wrong with me. I think Connor figured out how to purposefully push my buttons which obviously shouldn't be pushed. He was SO naughty! Maybe it was all just too much. We've been stuck in this house with our sick dogs and I think I finally snapped. Haylie kept changing her clothes. I have been wanting her to get into dress up for a long time, and when she finally did, it irritated me. Really? What's the harm in a messy room? Most nights before bed, we clean up anyway, so what's the big deal?The big deal is: every time I would clean something up, Connor would grab the first thing he saw and pull it out, rip it up, mess it up, knock it over, kick it, push it, hit it, bite it and/or spit on it. And then to top it all off... he left me a nice little diarrhea surprise.

I've contemplated getting a part time job many times, and I know it wouldn't be worth it because the money I'd make would go straight to child care. I also know that staying home with my kids is for the best. BUT, sometimes I think about having a job, and it sounds sooo nice; which is why I started doing Pampered Chef. I bought the starter kit and got all ready... but when it comes right down to it, I don't do public speaking. Now, I know it's just a few people, but I'm so afraid of being center of attention. I'm so afraid of messing up or not being able to answer somebody's questions, that it terrifies me. Not to mention, I tried getting some shows and got turned down about 5/5 times.

SO, what to do about the kids? Put 'em to nap!!!

Now, how could you be mad at these?

Well... as soon as they woke up, we picked up right where we left off. It's been a LONG week. Good thing Joe doesn't have to work tomorrow. My mom got me a facial for my birthday, and I am SO READY!!!

Afternoon Prayer

I was doing something on the computer this afternoon, and looked over to this: Haylie and Connor praying under our entry table (in their underwear/diaper nonetheless). I guess we're doing something right. :)

Mom

This is my mom. She has been in Scottsdale, Arizona since January 6th. I miss her so much... I guess I never realized how much I see her or like to do things with her. She comes back in 3 weeks, and we can't wait to see her!My mom and my Grandpa (her dad).

WHOOPS!

Apparently, I shouldn't leave used paintbrushes where Haylie can reach them.

Going Private

Just wanted to let everyone know that I'll be going private in about a week. If you want an invite, email me at joseph_cassi_rose@hotmail.com. :)

Joe At Work

I just wanted to put this cool picture of my hot husband doing some surveying for the new WTP out at Hanford. :) While I sit in our warm house, he is out in the freezing cold, tripled up on layers of clothing, providing for our family so that I can stay home with our kids. Although they drive me crazy sometimes, I know that it's the best decision for our family. So, this one's for you Sweetie. I love you and appreciate you more than you know.

The Porcelian Express

Yes, this is what you think it is (or was). A black widow. In my house. Alive (or was). Strong will to live I guess..... survived the entire winter so far in my garage... Well, I'm sorry if whoever reads this is against killing spiders, but I'd rather save the lives of my family. She went for a ride in the toilet. Bye bye black widow.
