i'm loving me some mr. skates!

(pic taken august 2008)

my hubby’s been extra sweet to me these days – i swear, i probably haven’t done the dishes in like a month! he's been getting dinner going most evenings, he did a TON of laundry yesterday, he's been helping clean house here & there!
i went to bed this morning at 4:30am & he let me sleep until 7am (beginning a busy cake weekend again) – i got up to find out that he had already given all the kids baths/showers, fed them breakfast, had them all dressed & ready to go to school! all I had to do was brush the girls' hair ;0) then he jumps in his car & heads off to work TWO side jobs today - probably won't get home until 7 or 8pm!

he starts his new job on monday, so i'm loving this last little bit of mr. mom! ;0)

i'm loving the new ford flex!

only, in black - and without the different color top - allllll black! ;0)

i just told ya about my van hitting the big 200K this past weekend, so i'm dreaming of what my new ride will be.....i'd LOVE to b sporting this flex! but i'll probably end up in another mini-van.....we'll see - new car shopping is still a little ways off

i'm loving this one's style


she's so original! :0)

-----

i'm loving that this one is always wearing shades these days

and that she feels she must put her hands on her hips, every time her picture is taken! ~teehee~

-----

i'm loving that jaden is doing so very well in 2nd grade!

he's always excelled at math, but struggled with problem solving - being able to read the scenario, actually retain the information given, then produce the correct answer - especially when it involves money! but this year - easy breezy baby! ;0) not only with problem solving, but with all subjects AND his behavior! that's my boy - keep it up bub!!!

after my very first trip, i'm loving the driving range

i'm on the social committee at work & i headed up organizing a golf outing for us on wednesday - 1 round of putt-putt & 1 medium bucket of balls at the range (then we enjoyed an italian catered lunch afterwards)....i wasn't sure how i'd do - but i did pretty well - plus had a great time!....and knowing that curtis loves driving balls (he got in plenty of practice on his lunch breaks, at the course, at his old job) - i'm thinking of planning a little date for us here :0)

i'm loving the almost instant relief - the cake decorating weight, being lift off my shoulders


even tho i've still got to make it thru september, i can see the light at the end of the tunnel, & that in itself has helped my stress level go down

i admit - i'm having a reeeeaaaaly hard time turning everyone away (i got 6 requests yesterday alone - probably 14 total just this week!) - but i'm sticking to my guns - and i feel good about it!

and i don't feel like i'm in a constant panicked rush any more, wondering what it is i've forgotten - cause i know i've forgotten something!

my skin is clearing up - i was really starting to look like a 14 yr old boy who's going thru puberty! ~lol~

my headaches are popping up less often (i'm a migraine sufferer - ugh)

and i am spending lots of time daydreaming about what fun things i'm going to do with my extra time, come october - with AND without my family!
do u know how long it's been since i've read a "real" book?! (if you give a mouse a cookie at bedtime & skimming thru US weekly do NOT count!)

i'm loving the newly acquired jump rope skills!

-----

most of all, i'm LOVING these nuts! ;0)
