Dalton just sent this link to me and the Guster boys. It cracks me up that it's the mom wearing the Guster shirt, not the kid.

I posted these somewhere else, so thought I'd put em here too. These are just the photos that are the cool postcard type on thick cardboard? I will make another post with the smaller pics.

So, last weekend Daniel and I went to Destin, Fl on a mini-vaca. Saturday night on the beach Daniel proposed. Here's a pic of the ring (sorry it's not very good) on top of the Bible he gave me with my future name on it.
Yay! Super excited.
Don't know many details yet. Wedding will be sometime in the spring.Current Mood:  giddy |

I can't get sex off my brain tonight, it's starting to actually bug me.
I don't want to think about sex anymore.
Need an ice bath and some anti sex hormones. |

I uploaded all of the old photos that I have in a black case. My siblings found them in an old house and brought them home. There are 37 and they are pretty awesome! You should click here to see the rest.

Today’s been one of those days where I realized quite a few things have changed in my life and my journal needed to reflect them. I’ve updated my User Info page to include Finian. I’ve added a few friends who’ve peeped up out of the woodwork, as well as removed some people who appear to have been in a different place from me for a while. If you find this message and realize you’re a person whom this action has affected, I hope acceptance is something that comes easily to you.
If you enjoy reading about our family and want to keep abreast, I’d love for you to enjoy so at our family journal (http://tothmccarry.blogspot.com/). |

Yesterday:
Busy busy busy, that's how I feel all the time. Gabriel will be two months old in three days and summer is half over. Right now I'm taking a moment to look up some chore charts for Sean and drink a cup of coffee. Gabriel is sleeping and Andy took the older kids next door to go swimming. In the last few weeks Sean went from being afraid to try swimming without floaties to paddling around the pool all on his own. He's so funny to watch because he swims almost straight up and down, but he doesn't sink and he gets where he wants to go. Caitlin doesn't want to use a ring to float around in anymore so I don't think it will be long before she learns how to swim.
I've really started keeping on top of keeping the house in order. I need some storage shelving and baskets for the toys in the playroom so we can keep that cleaned up, and Sean needs a bookcase for all of his books. I hadn't realized how grumpy living in a messy house left me. So far I've managed to sweep and mop the kitchen, entryway and bathrooms every day and vacuum the carpets every couple days, although I would like that to be every day too. Keeping up with the house, laundry, dinner and kids makes me wonder how on earth working parents do it. I spend all my time up and on my feet (hence why I haven't made an entry in weeks) and by the end of the day I'm exhausted and trying to watch tv or talk to my husband for a few minutes before bed. I have discovered I really like getting up around seven in the morning instead of later. There's something really nice about sitting by myself (with Gabriel taking a nap) and drinking coffee while watching the Today Show for an hour or so that makes me feel really ready for the day when the other kids get up.
I'm still doing pilates almost every day (with the help of Sean and Caitlin) and watching what I eat and I'm STILL not losing any weight. I'm hoping that I'm revving up my metabolism and soon I'll just start dropping weight like crazy, but I'm not counting on it. I had planned on buying a treadmill with our stimulus payment check but since I'm a dumbass and never changed my name legally with the social security office when I got married we aren't getting one now. We can file to have it sent next tax season.
Today:
I hate ironing. I spent an hour and half doing the ironing last night. I have to iron all of Andy's pants for work as well as some shirts for Sean, some dresses for Caitlin and a couple things for myself. I need to not let it pile up like that, it takes way to long.
I've started Christmas shopping. My goal is to be totally done by October. I hate leaving things to the last minute. I asked Andy what he wanted and he replied, "I want to not have to think about Christmas when it's still July." There's a co-op that will be going on in the LJ Co-op community for toys so I think a good bit of my Christmas shopping will be done there. I can probably get some of the birthday presents that I need to get then too. I know for Sean's birthday we'll be getting him some more Thomas the Train stuff. I need to go out to AC Moore sometime soon because all their Thomas the Train stuff is 30% off and I also have a 25% off coupon. One of the things he really wants is the train table, but they're so expensive. Maybe I could make one. I need to look up the dimensions on the thing.
I joined and AP playgroup back when I was pregnant with Gabriel and I still have yet to go. Partly because they meet so far away from me, at least 40 minutes by car and I can't really afford the gas to get there. Right now I leave the house three times a week, on Thursday to go grocery shopping, on Saturday to go to the farmer's market and on Sunday to eat lunch with Andy's grandparents after church. I try to only fill up the car every two weeks and it costs me 60 bucks to fill up.
Okay, now it's 10:15 and I need to start getting things done. |
