I've recently learned we all have our addictions. Some are socially acceptable, some are not. Mine is my schedule. Here's proof: I'm working 2 jobs (dental hygiene & energy coaching) running my own business is ...challenging; I am the PTO president at our Jr. high school; volunteer weekly at the grade school; have 7 children in 8 sports (multiple practices daily & 8 games or events every single week); have 5 boy scouts; we both have X spouses; teach a class at church; maintain a clean orderly home for 9; make dinner nightly; children leave our home every hour for 3 hours school mornings (i pray all morning, not so bad) & am hosting a wedding reception in our back yard next weekend!; & a big birthday party the weekend after that.
The funny part is... I wish those things were the hard part of my life! sigh.
I don't mean to complain. We do enjoy a lovely thrifty life. We are very blessed in many ways, with much joy & love.
Gotta dash, much to do... of course! (this is why our blog is out dated... just not a priority)

4 happy years
Can U believe Jeff & I've been married for 4 years already?! We can't... but then at the same time it feels like we've known each other since before we were born.
Jeff was SO sweet= he gave me 12 wooden roses (as he said "they still won't last as long as my love for you", ya I know, gushy, but we both love it as we roll our eyes!), balloons, & a lil house made of chocolate candy bars with gum inside the house. That's what kind of cake I wanted for my birthday but didn't get it. the gum was his idea, 'cause who doesn't love gum?! + a very romantic card. As if all that wasn't WAY COOL, the children & I were finishing decorating the table w/ candles etc for a lovely family dinner when he pranced in (with an extra hand to carry stuff) in all his thoughtful glory. All our children got to see his presentation & see my reaction to it. He couldn't have been more proud of himself, not only for his gifts but also that all 7 children got to see our example. This is how you treat your sweetheart/spouse.
