Everything is going well! I have decided to write a book, and my husband is buying me a new laptop to help me out with it, and many other things that a laptop will be helpful with, especially with 4 kids! I will be able to be downstairs with them more, and work on more that a computer is needed for.
I want to start putting something on here everyday that I am thankful for. So, the first one is:
I am thankful for my family!
I love them all very much, and feel so blessed to have all of them in my life. My children do so many things every day that make me happy, put a smile on my face, and can turn a potentially sour experience into a sweet one. It's so easy to get caught up in the daily occurrences of life, and forget to smile sometimes, so I am making it a goal to laugh more! Be happy, no matter what life throws at you. This includes my extended family.
A husband who loves me. We have had some challenges in our 11 years of marriage, and we are always working on them. It's hard but also rewarding being married. I love him, he loves me, and I know he would do anything for me.
It feels so good to have a good relationship (or at least better) with my sister, and mother. It has been very strained and difficult for a while, and I didn't know how to make it better, but now it is getting there, and I am happy about it.
I also wanted to type about my baby girl who is now 2 1/2, but will forever be my baby, even though she likes to think and act like she is 12. The things she says blows me away, and I don't know where she gets them from. She looked at the moon the other day, we have never even talked about the moon before, and she looked at it and said "The moon is cut in half!" May not sound too funny, or smart, but as her mother, and knowing she is only 2, it was amazing to me. We have never even talked about cutting things in half, or the moon, and she knew that it was cut in half, that it is supposed to be a full circle or a ball, if it is all the way "done" so to speak (for lack of better words). She's funny, smarter than me some days, and beautiful to boot. She is always hungry, talks really loud in grocery stores, and smiles all the time, with a smile that says "You know you can't resist giving me whatever I want."
It's that time of year, again! Christmas!
We are going to be putting up all of our Christmas decorations this weekend, and I will take pictures and post them. I love Christmas, I hate the hustle and bustle of it, but love the true meaning and spirit of Christmas. We have a fake tree now (have for about 5 or 6 years), and it makes me sad every time we put it up, and I don't smell the amazing smell of pine trees. It's a memory of Washington state, where I grew up. I miss it up there, and would love to live there again some day. I love trees, especially smelly ones, like pine trees. But I also like the artificial trees now too! I like that I can pick out the perfect tree, have it be real big, and enjoy it every year. And now there are all kinds of pine smelly candles, wall flowers, and home oils, so I am happy with that. Last year we bought a live tree, well dead, so I guess the real word is, REAL. We were in the process of selling our house in Texas, and didn't want to bother with getting our fake one out. But it was just some way of justifying a real tree. I loved it. Anyways, enough of my boo-hoeing. I love Christmas! I am thankful that I even have a tree! No more complaining.

What will your book be about? I have always wanted to write a children's book for and about IVF babies...just haven't found the right starting point yet.
