For sometime now we have been needing a new dining set. The one we bought 3 yrs ago when we moved here is was cheap to begin with but we thought it would be good enough to get us trough seminary........wrong! We have gotten along since Michael came along, we bought him a space saver high chair and we just love it! I wish they had these when my other two were babies, it really does create more space! The chairs have been slowly falling apart, I have to tighten the screws often or they get very rickety. Well, last night at dinner I was sitting in the worst chair and I shifted my self just a little and crashed through to the floor! It really hurt and I couldn't get up for a couple of min. Jason had just left on a call, and the the girls were scared at first, then they found humor because I couldn't seem to get up so I just stayed on the floor. It really hurt, after that I was in pain several areas and I need to see my Chiropractor. Jason cracked me a little and as much as he could but I can feel were I am out. I would not recognize my body being out of alignment if we had not been going to a Chiropractor or a few yrs now so I have gotten to know my body pretty well.
I wish I had pix to show because it was crazy, we had to throw the chair out, it was bent bad and the screws cam flinging out......luckily no one got hit with those! I just know our table is going to crash to the floor someday as well. It's used most of it's life as well. so now we are down one chair. We use the computer chair for the 5th chair we need since our computer is in the kitchen, but now it should be interesting how we are going to be able to have dinner at the table together ;)
So now I am thinking....what do I do? I am checking craigs list but the only money I truly have is vacation money and we have waited almost 8 yrs now to have our first family vacation. I talk to Jason about working more over time while it's available but the poor guy is tired. A week or two ago he worked 19 days straight so we can afford go on vacation. He needs this getaway more than all of us, he works so hard, in fact he hasn't stopped working hard since we moved her. Not many people could handle the load he has had to carry. Up until last semester he was working basically three jobs....teacher ( I helped him with grading and entering grades into the system so he would not feel so overwhelmed), full time student, and security. He is one of the hardest working men I know and never complains about it. He will make comments at times that he doesn't feel like going in to work because he's tired, but he does it anyway and I work hard to make sure his time at home with us is peaceful and relaxing. I know we'll get by one way or another, but it would be nice to not have one of the kids sitting on the floor lol.
Yall really should have seen that chair! I was in too much pain to take a picture .... :)
We went into Granbury a week or so ago. It's a really cute but small town to stroll along with your family and walk in different shops. There is a tall tower clock in the center of the square.......actually, Shannon......it looks EXACTLY like the little square we went to to see the Christmas parade when we visited you!! I don't have any pix judt one of the girls in a specialty shop goofing off and one of Michael at Babes bbq ...I think it was called. Other than that I took a couple of pix out the window while driving of these tree braches living in the lake water.........I was intrigued, never seen leafless trees living in water in the middle of a big ole lake! We had a really good time and it was so nice to walk into all the stores just to look around. The change of scenery was really nice too.
Now........anyone curious as to why I have no more pix? I'll tell you anyway, my hubby-boo wouldn't let me...grant it, I was a bit shy to take pix with people all around too, however-I hardly think I looked like a TOURIST......right LOL?? Jason said I looked like a tourist lol and he is more introverted than I am so I gave into him by not take any more pix. He's the one who couldn't wait to take us because it looked just like the square in Hamilton, TX.......But I did get pix of the girls and Michael.......darn, I spent a while doing my hair too so he could take a few pix of me and the girls :0
Saturday morning the girls and I had a lot of fun doing a scrapbook page. It was Alyssa's first time and I only helped her a little. I would have never gotten into it if Jennifer from family musings had not introduced it to me when I lived in FL. I met Jenn through my hubby. They went to school together and after Jason and I married I met her. Alyssa was just a baby at the time, around 6 months or so. How the time flies by. Thank you again Jennifer!
Anyway, Alyssa is old enough now to find enjoyment in doing this. Of course, it had to be princess themed........Amber got into it too.
We have a lot more materials than when we first started scrapping pages......
I was going to get on here and blog but after cleaning today, moving furniture around trying to make better room etc, and just finishing up the kitchen I am tired....but the funny part is that while I was finishing up the kitchen I thought now would be a good time to write without interruptions since the kids are in bed and I am slow at typing coming in at only around 35-40 wpm with the real problem being......I totally forgot what I was going to write about! LOL Yeah, it's a sign......time to go to bed lol.....night!
