Weekend

We had an absolutely amazing weekend!! We celebrated lil mans bday on Friday night with a sleep over with a couple of his friends.   It was a fun night!  We had a cook out and tons of snacks for them. We had a fire and smores. 

They jumped/wrestled on the trampoline. Played xbox,. Wrestled in the house. And surprisingly didn't make as big of a mess as I expected. :-)

Tho my son's room is absolutely trashed! haha.  In the morning I made them bacon, eggs, toast, pancakes, and french toast.

 

After that we went up to the park and played for a bit until the one kid's mom came to pick him up. The other kid ended up staying another night. :-) 

Saturday night my boyfriend Brett cooked us spaghetti for dinner and then we loaded up his van with pillows and blankets and headed off to the drive in movie theater to watch Iron Man 3 and Oz.  Which we only end up watching Iron Man 3.. or I should say baby girl and myself only ended up watching the movie cuz all the boys were out cold!!  So after the first movie we packed back up and headed home again.  

Sunday we went to church and then afterwards Brett invited his buddy over for a cook out.  His buddy ended up cooking for us! :-)  It was nice to have company and just sit back and relax some! After dinner we took the kids to the park and I ended up meeting most of Bretts family.  
We came home and Brett cleaned my house for me!!!  I got a load of laundry into the washer, packed lunches and got baby girl tucked into bed for the night.  Lil man stayed up playing xbox and then brett went and played with him for a bit!  I seriously was in awe!! 

But now its back to reality. 
Hope ya'll have a great Monday and a great week!!!  I know mine is jammed packed, between baseball, getting things for the roof of my garage to be repaired, finish up birthday shopping, and taking lil man out to get his baseball pants, cleats, and socks, AND  celebrating Lil Man's birthday at some point... lol.  Fun Filled day!!!  :-)

My crazy insane weekend!

My crazy insane weekend is over!!!  Saturday was the worst. Lol.

This is how my Saturday went…

945am wake up- shower- etc.

1130am lil man’s baseball practice-team 1@batting cages

100pm Lil Man’s baseball practice- team 1@the field

230pm Baby Girl bff birthday party

300pm Scentsy Party

500pm Lil Man’s baseball practice- team 2 @home field

515pm Pick up Baby Girl

730pm Drop Lil Man off with his Dad

After that I went home… did dishes, laundry, cleaned up the house some, cooked dinner for myself, my daughter and two bff’s…. watched a movie and colored my hair. 

Sunday wasn’t as crazy but still no time to really rest and relax. I went to church and then to my step-mom’s bday party. Church was great, tho I dunno if it was me or the whole thing.. but something just seemed off… L  The bday party was nice. I think my stepmom really enjoyed herself.  I stayed for a bout an hour and half or so… watched the Indian’s game with my dad… and took baby girl down to the water (she lives right on the lake) and got some cute pic of her.  

I could literally feel myself fighting off being depressed yesterday.. I kept thinking of negative things or things that just made me sad…  and every I felt myself thinking that way… I would push that thought out of my head… it was hard.. but I had the Lord fighting with me… so it all worked out !!! Praise God!!!

Last night I jogged almost 2 ½ miles!!! I couldn’t believe that I made it that far with out dying!! Lol.  I felt exhausted… but great… and even tho I ended up staying up late last night.. I am not as exhausted as I have been the past few weeks J

Baby Girl @ the Lake

me and baby girl... only pic I have where we both look 1/2 way decent! lol

This is where I want to get married!!! Beautiful! 

Hope ya’ll had a great weekend!

up and down...

This past weekend was… I dunno. Up and Down I guess would be the best way to describe it.

There is something that is weighing heavy on my heart… and I really shouldn’t let this bother me because it’s so not worth it.. but it really does bother me. 

I saw a friend of mine yesterday that I haven’t hardly seen in a while… at least a few months. I have know her for a long time now..  but it seems that in the last year our friendship has become very strained.  I dunno if it was the guy I was dating at the time.. because I know she didn’t like him at all.  Or what exactly it was… but we barely saw each other and barely talked to each other… and it was both or our faults.

Anywho- I saw her yesterday and she was talking to another friend about how they had a little get together with some of their friends for her and her boyfriends anniversary.  I piped in jokingly (well only half) and said “yea thanks for inviting me” and she was just like-“ well its not like you would have come anyway you are always too busy”. WHAT ???!!! REALLY??!!  I was blown away by that comment.  

Seriously… this is coming from a chic who in the last 5 years of me having get together, birthday parties, jewelry parties, food parties, anytype of parties, cook outs, fires after dark… had came to maybe… maybe… a handful of them. BUT… In the last 5 years I have missed ONE thing… ONE… that she’s invited me to.  ONE! And that was last January. For her birthday.  She invited me to go out. And I was planning on it, but it was right after Christmas and New Years and my boyfriend at the time (we lived 3hrs apart) was here for both of those weekends and it was my turn to go there for the weekend… so I didn’t go to her birthday.  ONE time!!! 

Oh… ill take that back.. there was one other time I didn’t go… but only because she text me at 930 at night and said hey were here at XXXXX place can you come out??!! Yea.. let me just leave my kids home alone and come drink with you… NOPE sorry can’t do it.

It just really bothered me that this friendship is so one sided… apparently as I see it, if I miss ONE time going out with her, I am unreliable as a friend.  

So that just really bugged me the last few days…  And then I also got the call that my daughter didn’t pass the kindergarten assessment testing. So that put me in a down mood. L I know God has a plan for her… and obviously this isn’t in his plans yet…  but its still a bummer.

God Bless

Weekend Recap.

This weekend was a pretty good one.. def. a lot more calm than the last few.  J

Friday night I went out with a couple friends and sang karaoke. I suck at singing.. but I still got up there and made a fool out of myself… with the help of my friend!!  I loved it tho!! Will definitely have to go back sometime.  

Saturday was pretty good… I was up early and started cleaning and putting my entertainment center together. Went and picked up Lil man from his dads and did a lil bit of running around that I needed to get done. Came home and cleaned some more, bathed the dogs and finally passed out on the couch. The kids were wonderful… they let me sleep for like 20 minutes!!  J They were awesome!!  We went and rented some movies, got Chinese and came home. I started on some homework and then a couple friends came over and we hung out for a bit.

Sunday I was up and headed to church… I really do love this new church I have been going to…  again tho… I dunno if its because the Man is there with me… or if it’s the church itself…  but none the less… I like it.  Afterward the kids and I went to lunch with the Man and it was good. Good food and good company. Still really dunno whats up or where its going.. and honestly… as much as I want to be like “hey whats the deal” I have put this in God’s hands… I have complete faith in HIM over this area of my life…  I know he’s making me ready for my husband and my husband ready for me… whether it’s the Man or not… I dunno.. and maybe the Man is just supposed to be a distraction to keep my heart occupied and my eyes set on the Lord till the right man does come a long. I really dunno..  I do know how I feel about the Man tho… and I guess only time will tell with it all J.   

Last night I had a really hard time falling asleep, even tho I was exhausted… but I know the Lord kept me awake cuz my BFF needed to talk. So I talked with him for a bit…and I can’t go into detail about the convo… all I have to say is that the Lord has a great sense of humor… J

God Bless YOU

My weekend

This past weekend was amazing!!! This whole past week was amazing!!!

God continued to Rock my world this weekend!!! Seriously!!

Saturday night I went out to dinner with a friend and then to The Eternity Play that a church was putting on. A mutual friend of ours gave him the tickets. OMG!! The play was amazing!!  I showed Heaven and Hell… and how you need Jesus in your life. It was very emotional… I was crying!!  It was awesome. My friend and I both went and recommitted our lives to Jesus!!  

Sunday I went to church with my friend at a new church. It was a little farther than I normally would go.. but wow. The church was amazing. I love my church.. but this one I felt so comfortable at… mine I have always felt slightly awkward… maybe I felt so comfy because I had someone with me I dunno. But I think I am going to go back and see how the church is and everything… its was amazing!!  

A few down things happened this weekend… my dad got admitted into the hospital with conjestive heart failure and copd.  I was really worry about him on Saturday morning, but I set the worries at the foot of the Lord and he helped me not worry as much.. My dad is doing better and is in decent spirits. Hopefully will get to come home tomorrow.

My step mom is still in the physical reahab center and now has a high temperature. Not srue on all the details with her tho.

I am on a quest to buy a new tv since mine blew out on my 2 weeks ago… I had no idea just trying to buy a tv would be so difficult!!  I went to walmart on Friday night… they didn’t have ANY in stock. Went to Sam’s club on Sunday.. they had none that I wanted or could afford.  Then later Sunday night I went online to Target.com and say the perfect tv. And I could afford it. So I checked the in store availability and wahoo!! They had some in the store.. So went to the target by me.. and they didn’t have one… but the one in the next town over (about 15min away) had one and they would put it on hold for me… so ok… get over there… and it rang up $50 more… so I told them about the online price. They pretty much said sorry about your luck, we can’t do anything. We don’t honor the online pricing at our stores!!! Really??? Wth!! So I called the corp. customer service today… and pretty much got the same thing!!!  Wonderful customer service there Target!! Seriously!! You just lost a customer here!!  So I will probably be going to Walmart now to get my TV.

But honestly… even with the bad things going on… it was an amazing weekend because God was there with me thru it all!!!

Hope your weekends were great!!

God Bless

weekend wrap up

The weekend was pretty good!! J Definetely went by way too quick!!! But then I guess it normally does! L

Friday night we did the normal routine- dinner with my mom, bro, and step dad. Then came home and watch movies. J I love these nights. 

My Lil Man also gave me my birthday gift ( a few days early). He bought me a book at the school book fair earlier that day! Aint he a sweet heart!? 

Saturday we all cleaned!!! The kids cleaned their rooms and me the rest of the house, which let me tell you was an absolute disaster!!  After we got it all done.. or mostly done I went and got us all some pizza. Which we all obviously were starving cuz there was only a piece left when we were done!! And my wonderful big headed dog jumped up on the counter and helped himself to that last slice!!  Ugh. After that we laid around and watched movies till it was time… to go to the movies.  I had bought 2 movies tickets on Livingsocial.com for $9 so we used them and my bff helped me out and bought the 3^rd one. We met him and his son up at the theater and saw Rango.  It was cute, but I definitely thought it was going to be a lot better.   After that we came home and watch another movie and I made a scarf for my daughter. She loved it. And now Lil Man wants me to make him one too! J 

Sunday we went to church and then up to visit my step mom. She was super happy to see us… especially the kids!  We hung out there for a hour or two and then headed home.  We ate lunch and you guessed it… watched a movie. I fell asleep on the couch and kids were so great… they let me sleep and played so wonderfully together!!!  The spirit of God was definitely with that because that rarely ever happens. Normally they fight like cats n dogs. So it was really nice to hear them be loving to each other!!  In the evening I dropped them off at my moms for dinner and me and my bff headed to the improve for a comedy show.  It was a lot of fun!!

Hope your weekend was just as fun!!! J

Labor day weekend... not long enough

Well... It may as well be Monday... in my head it is anyway...


OYE!! I really should have stayed in bed this morning.   
I came into work today... and started my usual routine... 
1- sign into my computer
2- get email program up... click send/rec. mail
3- go make coffee
4-go back and check emails
5- get cup of coffee
6- twitter/facebook/email/blog etc... 


Well... step no. 3 didn't go quite as I planned...  When I went back in to our little kitchen to get me a cup of coffee because its been a long long morning already and i needed to wake up... and what did I find??!! ugh.  I forgot to put the pot on the burner under the filter bucket when I made the coffee this morning... and there on the lovely floor of my work kitchen was the contents of an entire pot of coffee... oye... 2 rolls of paper towels, a coffee soaked sleeve, and 23 wet sugar packets later... it was all cleaned up and I attempted to make pot number 2... all went as it should...  


And to make this all better... my daughter came to work with me today... and got to Mommy at her finest!!!  *oye*

baby girl... looking all grown

My weekend was really great!! My love came up Friday. His daughter went with her mom for the weekend and my kids were with my mom for a few hours, so we decided to go have a couple drinks with my friends for a bit.. It was nice to hang out with them.  My kids got home and we some how played hide n seek... (i was the best hider- i fit in to all the oddest spaces!!) After hide n seek, we decided to take the puppies for a walk... at 10pm.. but it was really nice... I need to get Edward used to walking on a leash ugh. 

Saturday Lil Man went with his dad for the weekend and me and baby girl and the boyfriend all just kinda layed around all day...  I know we did something... but I can't think of what it was now.  My mom was really nice and watched baby girl for me for a few hours... My and the boyfriend went out to dinner and then over to a friend of mine's mom's house for a party. It was a lot of fun.  I got to hang out some with people I haven't seen in a while... tho it was a awkward because the people I know were busy talking with other people or running around from person to person... so me and the boyfriend just sat there with each other... watching everyone... that was interesting tho.. I love to people watch! 

After that party we went up to the bar/bowling alley because my friend was working... So we stopped and had a drink with her and her husband.  I think this was the first time I have been out in a few months... It was kinda nice, and definitely well needed.  

Sunday we got started on the 1st gate for my backyard. It was to finish off the fence my boyfriend put up for me in May.  It took all weekend to get it done and just the way he liked (he's a perfectionist)... but it looks great!! I was gonna take a picture of it this morning and i forgot. ugh.  

Monday, he worked on that again while I cleaned up the house some and did laundry. 

He really didn't want to go home Sunday night, so him and his daughter decided to stay one more night and leave early this morning... so that is what that did, and I really am so happy they did. I wasn't ready to part yet...  I need to try and find away to convince him to stay here forever. *insert evil laugh*   but I know that really ain't possible because his daughter is in school and he has responsibilities at his house... but its nice to wish. 

Holiday weekend in a nutshell

This was definetely a different kinda weekend... It wasnt all bad.. and it was good for the most part... 
I am realizing i am still trying to find myself...  and maybe this is a journey I will always be on.. I don't know. 


This weekend was nice... Friday I got to spend the evening with my bff. We went for a nice long walk but... on the way home... *sniff sniff* I hit a deer...  Luckily I didn't hit it too hard... it bounced off the hood of my car... did a flip... and went running off... I really hope it was alright...  My hood's got a lil dent in it... and there was some hair in the grill of my car... I was laughing because that's what I do when I get nervous about something...  ugh.  I don't have the money to fix it. So I'll have to live with it for awhile. oh well.  


Saturday my son had his baseball game. It was a lot of fun. His dad was there and my other bff came up for a bit.  My son went back home with his dad and it was just me and baby girl.  We did a whole lotta nothing.  When we got back me,her, and the two dogs took like a two hour nap in my bed... I had suck a bad headache... and hoped the nap would help.. yea.. nope it didn't.  The rest of the night we pretty much just layed around and watched movies. 


Sunday I pretty much just hung out...  It was a good day... In the evening I went to my Grandma Barbs for a cook out and to watch the fireworks.. it was nice.. but a lil depressing... I hate watching fireworks "alone" and this was the first year... in probably 5 that I have been single on the 4th of July. It really kinda sucked...  Oh well I guess... 


Monday.. I was in a really down and sour mood... Nothing seemed to be able to go right... but I did get the dogs a bath and the family room rearranged... so that was a plus.  My mom and I went for a walk with the dogs and baby girl rode her bike.. then we went for ice cream. I finally got my relaxing night that I had planned all week.. Candles lit- read a book- glass of wine... aaaaahhh perfection. 


How was your fourth? 

My wonderful weekend!

Well first off... I realized Saturday morning, laying in bed with my boyfriend... I forgot my Realization Friday post! but then I didn't get any realizations in... so I guess its all right... If you want to submit your realizations just finish the sentence : Ive come to realize _______________. and email it to overthinkingmama@gmail.com 

This was a great weekend... probably one of the best I have had in a few weeks.  
My BF came up Friday afternoon. We went down to visit his friends and for me to pick out my puppy. I can't wait!! :-)  We get our puppies in 2 weeks!  They are all so so cute, I wanted them all. It was a lil hard to tell them all apart tho.. but my BF picked the girl and I got the twin! :-)  It will be interested bringing them home and seeing how well my Bella does with them... (Bella's a chihuahua)   We hung out with his friend and eventually girlfriend (she worked part of the night) till probably midnight. It was nice to hang  out with them, have a few beers and just chill. The kids loved being able to run around and act crazy most of the night too! Especially with the dogs and puppies running around after them.  

my  son drew this pic of my BF on our way down to BF's friends. lol. 

Saturday was the start of the busy busy busy weekend. We slept in a lil bit.. till probably 930/1000ish.  Then BF got to work on the area for my fire-pit patio.. He cut the wood and got that all taken care off and then used his weed eater to get rid of all the grass. While he was doing that... since I really hate just sitting around watching someone work.. I mowed the front and back yard.  2pm came quick and we had to get showered and get Lil Man to his baseball game.. He did so good. I was so proud.  After the game Lil Man went with his dad for the weekend so it was just me, the BF and the girls.  We went to Bulk N Bushel and picked up a ton of riverbed rocks.. It was only $30!  Then to Home Depot to pick up a few more supplies.  Then back home. I ran out and got chicken for us for dinner...  then the BF worked some more on the patio.. Im not really sure what I did at that moment..(oh yea.. i remember now! lol. I put down newspaper to prevent weeds from popping thru the rocks) . About 9pm we called it quits and went and sat out on my front swing and snuggled and had a drink. 


Sunday was another fun filled day! We tried to wake up early enough for church... and I did.. but apparently I fell back asleep till we only had a half hour to get ready.. and that wasn't enough.. so we went and started working on the rest of the patio... getting that ton of rocks from the truck into wheelbarrows and then dumped into the patio area. When it was all done... It looked so nice. Then my BF decided he wanted to redo my deck railing/fence that me and my ex had put up 4years ago... it was def. a ghetto job that I had done.. but at the time.. I didnt know better..  Once we got all the old stuff down we showered, went to home depot and then off to my moms for dinner. It was really nice hanging out over there and just relaxing some.  We came home around 930 and decided just to relax out on the swing and have a drink. (I love my swing) 


Monday we were up bright and early again.. before 9am!  My BF went straight away to trying to get the fence all figured out and I decided to fry us up some bacon my Mom had picked up for us from Amish Country. While I was at it I figured I would make some monkey bread too. And OMG! that was sooo friggin good.. The kids loved it... I can't stop eating it... I can't wait to make more!! and it was soooooo easy!!! After I was done with all that... and cleaning everything up...  I started on cleaning my garage... because once again, I hate just standing around watching someone else work.  The BF did a great job with my deck railing/fence... its so much more sturdy that ever... We/He got most of it finished... just a small section left to do.  We had to stop and clean up because we needed to go and get Lil Man from his dads and also it looked like it was about to rain... which it did!! We had a great Thunderstorm!!!  After we got Lil Man we ate some dinner and relaxed the rest of the night... well I cleaned up some and did some laundry and got Baby girl a bath... but then I relaxed and finally went to bed.  ( I will have a post about the back yard projects when the fence is all done!) 

It was a busy but awesome weekend!!! 


How was your Memorial Day weekend??
