Wonderful weekend

It has been a long time since I had a great weekend. I mean between digging trenches and cutting trees and cleaning a horribly unregulated pool, I have not had a great weekend in a while. Well this weekend was different. My 2 neices came to stay the weekend with us. It is always such a treat. They are great girls and I love them to death. I don't know what I would do without those lil snots. Bit-bit (Brittany) is 5 and K-K (Kaylen) is 4. Yes my sister was one of those people that upset me. She had just had bit and 3 months later told me that she was 6 weeks pregnant with k-k. First words out of my mouth were, you shouldn't have even been having sex then. Oh well though. I wouldn't give them up.

In case I never said this before, I live right next door to MIL. Yes I know, bad. But when daddy passed away, it was a blessing to be there. Especially since we had just lost everything we owned 4 months prior to that in Hurricane Katrina. We needed a home as the FEMA camper was getting too small. Later on those issues. lol. Well the pool is in her back yard and is finally done and the yard work is done. It was time to enjoy them this weekend. We just have one of the 18 ft. Intex above ground pools but we love it. This was year 3 of having the pool and for some reason, it was horribly off kilter with the chemichals and something called a mustard algea. Anyway, after many vacumming and cleaing and alot of chemichals, we are back on track.

We spent all weekend out there. I work for a company where we work 4-10 hour days and so we are off on Fridays. I love it. DH cooked on the grill and we lived out there. Thank you to the makers of Citronella candles, tiki torches and some new kind of garlic granuals to keep all of those pesky skitters away. I was in heaven all weekend with the family.

Okay, so how in the world to I turn that picture. I hope you can see.

Well that was until yesterday when I went from having 3 kids in the house to having none. Our son went back with them for the next 2 weeks. He will be a lil red-neck in the woods. lol. We have plans to go to Gatlinburg at the end of next week, so he will be back for that. Then after he will return to my moms for some more red-neck fun. It is times like this that I am reminded of the loss of not having another child. I mean, not to pat me on the back but I was a golden child handeling 3 children this weekend. I loved it. It proved to me that I could be a great mom to twins. lol. Anyway, I am cd18 and lots of ew cm so you never know. I will say that this month has been a no go on the ttc issue. Again, I can only tell you the day I am on, I keep forgetting to temp and the only reason I am aware of the cm is that it is very present. I don't have to go poking to find out. lol.

See, it feels great to be in a good mood. I love it.

I will say that you all bring me happiness everyday. I love you all and I am an avid reader to several of you. I am grateful for your time and emails.

I pray for you all to recieve your miricle and for those of you carrying, to be healthy and safe. I have decided that I will put a verse on here at least once a week. For this week.......

Hebrew 11:1,3

Faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. ... By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.

I pray that I will keep my faith close to be reminded of God's greatness.
