half empty or half full...




What a weird week!

where to begin.....

okay

so...
I've felt like I was misunderstood this week
which is the worst feeling ever!
so...
Zack came and interviewed at Kurt's work and because of the clause
(that they didn't know about)
he can't work there, which is okay...
but
then to have the HR lady say
" he should not even be on the premises,
he needs to leave immediately!"
WOW!
REALLY!
so...
I've been dealing with my paychecks being wrong since January,
everyone blames everyone else
and
the answer is never the same,
I have heard some pretty weird things this week concerning the subject....
if
it were the boss would
his
paychecks continually be wrong?
so...
one of my kids behavior was weird....
okay, weirder than normal,
so you do what any good parent would do,
sit down and talk and come to an understanding of
choice and accountability
you take a big sigh of relief
until
the very next day, they do it AGAIN!
so...
you run to the store for some
milk, bread and a stick of butter
(and chocolate Easter eggs, of course)
your card won't process......hummm...
your on the phone (on hold) with the bank for over an hour before you finally hang up
only to find out the next day
that they put a blocked on your card
because of suspicious activity from a 3rd party,
which ...
is a good thing that they are watching out for your money
but
not a good thing because they have to take action so quickly because of fraud
that they don't have time to let you know that your card doesn't work!
and
so, you are left standing in the grocery line
feeling like an idiot!
so...
the day is over
and your laying down cuddling with your littlest one,
she's finally asleep
you roll over to get out ever so quietly
but
your bum knee DOES NOT roll with you
or maybe it rolled before you....
I don't know
but
now your knee doesn't want to bend
(pain)
and your walking with a crutch!!!
so...
your older daugthter has a funky
stomach bug.... that comes with a fun Dr. visit.
(the fun never ends!!)
so in a nutshell...
I've had a nervous stomach all week
which
tomorrow is only Friday
but
I'm trying to stay positive
and even though my glass looked half empty at times...
it was always have full...
because things could have been worse!
and
I'M SO GRATEFUL THERE NOT!!!

big z LITTLE Z what begins with Z...


Zachary
arrived safely,
everyone is excited that he's here...
Kurt and I have always loved Zach's tender heart,
the older girls are amazed to have a teenage boy hangin around,
and the littlest girl wore her cute new dress
and even ask me to curl her hair,
(she just wanted to look pretty)
and Spencer...
Oh Spencer,
he is so excited to have a older. male. brother-type. friend.
he'll take anything he can get!
I love this picture
at 6'5 .... and Spencer on the trampoline
perfect eye to eye for some catch football!

she started talking about a
"practice bra"
thats what she called it...
"Oh NO, I said, we're not ready for that"!!!
well...
last week we were ready
so 3 ever so cute teeny, tiny, white, pink and grey's were bought
and
ready for "practice"

"Oh NO, I said, we're not ready for that"!!!
