A Business

Ken always tells me that he would love to make fixtures like his job does at home and completely work from home and run his own business. I always encourage him to not quite his job because he does not have any clients and that means no money coming in as well as health insurance. We need his job right now. I do encourage him to try his dreams on the side if that is what he really wants to do but he would a stimulusfunding small business loans to get started. We might have to look into it later down the line but as for now he plans on sticking to his job. Maybe in the future he will start a business but right now I just don't think we have the time.

School is Back and Work

Well school is back for Ken and I already hate it! I really wish that he would have taken a semester off some days but I know that I will be happier when I have this baby. It seems like there is always so much extra work to do now that he is going two days a week especially when on Mondays when there is cub scouts right when when he gets home. I am hoping that this semester goes really fast since it leads into spring.
I am also hoping that Ken gets a promotion that has been in the works at his work since November. They have been talking about changing things around and maybe promoting him but it takes a lot of time to get everything done. In the meantime he has to pretend that he knows nothing about the changes because he has inside sources and that could really jeopardize his chances at the job promotion. So for the mean time he will just act like he does not know what is going on and hopefully sooner rather than later he will have a nice new job title and more money to go along with it. I try to keep this in mind when I'm having a bad day because I know it is something he has really been wanting.

A Charm

I have a few charms that go on necklaces that I never wear. I keep them because they are very special to me. As a matter of fact some of them are the very first pieces of jewelry that Ken gave to me when we were just dating. I really don't wear them because I don't have enough gold chains to keep them all on. These days the price of gold is so high that we just don't want to spend the money on getting a couple new chains right now. Right now I have a few chains and if I want to use a different charm on them all I do is change the charm and switch them out. It works for me and it saves me from spending more money on high priced gold.

ANNA MARIA ISLAND

ANNA MARIA ISLAND
Guest post written by my buddy Royce Heath
We rented a beach house for a week last summer. The house ended up being a great place. We were very pleasantly surprised. A friend suggested that we look into Anna Maria Island, Florida. It was a really great little island about thirty minutes outside of Sarasota. We flew into Tampa and rented a car. The place that we stayed was a great deal. It had beautiful marble counter tops, home security Florida system, a pool, beach chairs, and all of the beach toys that you could want. My favorite part of the whole house was the large deck that looked over the ocean. My husband caught some fish off of the pier and we grilled them right on the porch. I made margaritas and just relaxed the entire vacation. I had such a great time. I hope that we will be able to go back again next year. The water was a beautiful blue and the beaches a pretty white sand. Florida is a great place and in the United States, just a plane flight away!

Yoga

One thing that I have always wanted to try was doing yoga. I have heard that it is very relaxing and really relieves some stress. With three kids you can imagine that sometimes I can get pretty stressed out. I think that I deal with stress pretty well but I would like to deal with it in some sort of work out. I seen that yoga blocks can help you with just that relaxation that I need. I love everything about it do far because I like the relaxing music that they play while you are doing the yoga. It also increases your flexibility which i'm sure is good for your body as well.

Nice relaxing Vacation

Well today is the last day that Ken is working this year. It sounds like a long time but I wish it was longer. It will be the first time in a long time that we will not be going to Texas when Ken is on vacation. I am not sure if we will do anything while he is home but maybe we can plan a small trip someplace fun before he goes back to work. Maybe to a hotel with an indoor water park or something. I don't know if they would be busy so close to Christmas but I hope not. That would be fun to do with the kids. Maybe we should look into that.

Medical Cart

I know this might sound a little crazy to some readers, but did you ever see a
medical cart at your doctors office or hospital and wish that you had one? To be honest I could use that cart for so many things. The one thing that I like about it is that it has a lot of drawers and can be used for sorting things. I love to have things organized. With that said I have to confess that I may love things organized but our house is a disaster. Things are all over the place. The only thing that I can say is organized is our bills and paperwork. The rest of the stuff is just about everywhere. I guess that's what happens when you have three small kids and a tiny house. A medical cart would really come in handy. Maybe someday when I get things more organized I will purchase one for myself.
