it's been so stinkin long since i've been to my blog website. i feel like i have to wipe off dust and cob webs. life has been plenty busy since i last left off. for my own sake i must mention what i have been doing as this blog is to help me remember what goes on in my life as it is so fleeting.
there have been so many wonderful things that have taken place. we finally bought our very first house. thank you God!! i never thought it would really happen - then i found myself signing a gigantic stack of papers that i did not really understand comepletly. it was surreal. just for the record God was so there every step of the way. we put an offer on the house after 3 others. they stopped taking offers and then even though they had many good offers on the house including 1 cash offer - they chose our family. it was unexplainable - it was God & He granted us favor.
once we moved in we had so much to do on the house. i was 8 months pregnant and so tired. anything i did put me in contractions, contraction, contractions. still God kept that baby inside growing, growing. we got the house in some kind of order to the best of our ability and then it was time.....
it was tuesday and jesse needed to go to aspen to travel just overnight. just overnight! i knew that was not a good idea or good timing when i could have this baby any day. needless to say my water broke at 6:50am the next morning and jesse was 4 hours away of course! thank God for friends who came and sat with my kids for the day with out worry and for good new neighbors who had to drive my water leaking self to the hospital. God kept that baby in until jesse arrived at the hospital and as soon as he did i went from 3 cm. to 10 and had the baby with in the hour. (ya - the epidural never did work this time!!!)
in came baby number 3. i was instantly in love, but had forgotten about the sleepless nights! and this guy wanted to party all night long for the first month! did i mention that i also had my big guy start kindergarten. by the way why did no one tell me what a pain in the neck it is to drop off and pick up kids from school!!
all of those things lead me to the present. i feel as though i am finally getting a handle on life at least a little and at least for now. i have come to grips with the facts that i'm not even close to being a super-mom, my house is still a work in progress from the orange counter-tops to the daily mess from household stuff i can barely keep up with, i'm lucky to shower or to take a lone trip to the grocery store and the list goes on. bottom line is there's love in our house and we are surviving and that is good for me at least for now. :)

Thanks for the update Rheada it is so fun to be able to keep up with friends via blog. So glad you are surviving as a mom I am sure three is a huge transition. I know for me with only one baby I feel like all I do is clean clean clean.
Welcome back to blogging Rheada! I so admire all you do for your family. It's so evident how much you love your kiddos and your hubby (my lucky brother!). I'm glad to hear things are getting easier for you...and I'm also glad you're honest enough to admit you can't do it all. I'm soooo feeling that way right now, too, and I only have 2! Just take it one day at a time, keep your priorities in line with God, invite Him along every step of the way, and the rest will fall into place. (something I need to remember too! :) Love you!
Hi Rheada! Welcome back! and welcome to a new normal. :0) congratulations on baby number 3. your kids are so adorable!!!! also, congratulations on your new house. i tell ya, it doesn't matter what it looks like when your name is on the deed. as for kindergarten goes... TELL ME ABOUT IT!! when i pick sadia up after school, she's so wiped out all she does is whine all evening until bedtime (7:30 pm). in the mornings, she still tired, and i have to probe and prod her to get going. SHESH!!
