I hope everyone had a Blessed Easter.We stayed home as I was not feeling real well.But the kids had a last getting into their buckets.The Easter bunny brought shovels and pails instead of baskets and sidewalk chalk and trucks for outside.

I have lost 4.5 pds and am so happy!I did get out to walk this am so I was happy about that.I forget how much I love to be outside.We are running up to Everett this weekend.Just me and the three oldest kids for our friends Aprils sons b-day!(didya follow that)we'll go up Saturday and then back Sunday night.Bruce is going to stya home with Holly.We will also get a chance to say goodbye to Heidi and her family before they move to St Louis.I don't want to say goodbye but know I have to.It will be so sad and I will cry like a baby I am sure.Moving sucks!

We have a new furry friend!His name is Phillip and he is a squirrel that comes right up to our slider and we feed him nuts.Kenna named him Phillip(after the horse in Narnia)I took a bunch of pics today but I have yet to post them.Tgere is another squirrel and Nathaniel named him Big Ol Fatty!OK?!?

Well everyone have a wonderful week

we had a great day today!Our friends came over to play with us and we had a blast!We haven't had a chance to hang out with them for awhile so it was nice.then later we went out front and hung out with the apt kids.There is a really good bunch of girls that live here that are so sweet.THey love my kids but they are just a little too young to b-sit still darn it!

Then when Bruce came home I got to go by myself on a walk!Hey folks it's the little things in life.SO I tottaly spaced out thought about nothing and walked 6 miles!I am feeling so good about myself.I had given up hope with my back but now I'm feeling really good and my back is doing awesome.

I am looking at doing some volunteer work somewhere.Not sure where yet,but Bruce deosn't like to go out on the weekends and I love to so I though why not donate some of my time and be with other people!I am thinking about the teen home for troubled kids or rocking babies or even the Ronald Mc Donald house.But then there is a part of me that thinks working at the zoo might be fun too!So we'll see what I decide on.Although working with animals would be fun.Even if it was only scooping up poop!(yeah I know I'm sick)

I tested Nathaniel's reading level yesterday!And he came up at the 6th grade level!I was thinking 5th grade but he was doing awesome.Kenna I tested too(not expecting much)and she came up at 1st grade level.Not bad for a 4 yo.

Wow I've written alot!Well it's time for me to go.Hope everyone has a good night

Funny how life is?I have been so busy I have been neglecting my xanga!I went to the dr yesterday for my yearly check up.Yep that was fun had all 4 kids with me!.Luckily the nurse took Nathaniel out into the hall and let him color.THe other 3 just roamed around obliviouse to what was going on to mommy!Talked to the dr about my back.She says I need to exercise!Well good thing I have already started huh?She was pleased to hear what I have been doing with myself.She can be niave about some things but she is a good supporter and sometines tahts what I need.AT the end of my appt she told me what a goo djob I do with my kids.Here when I think they're bouncing off the walls someone tells me how great they are

WellBruce and i have a date tonight.We're going out to dinner anad then to a game night at a friend's house.It's our monthly game night and I am looking forward to it.Will be nice to get out.I told the dr I am starting to focus on me now.I know I am done having kids so how do I want to be and look like?She said that was good fo rme to realize a lot of moms don't.SO anyways I am thinking about hiring a b-sitter once in awhile so I can go out when Bruce works late.Last ngith he didn't get home till 8:45!Poor guy he was so tired.But he is doing such a good job and they love him there!Well have to pay bills jump in the shower and go get my nails done!Woohoo me time
