My Dramatic Husband

Dennis and I have not been feeling well off and on all week. One day I’m trying to take care of him and the next day he is taking care of me... this was our conversation today...

Me: My eyes are burning!

Dennis: MY eyes have been burning today too!
Then after a ‘pregnant pause’ he added: I think someone is trying to kills us!

And I’m the thespian???!!

Weekend is over... let’s recap

This was a busy weekend for me.  Preparing for the holiday, finishing up the last classroom of the school building... this weekend needs a third day!

Shots on Tuesday and Thursday meant driving to the city each day,  still working to 6 each night.  

Saturday was full of chores.  

You work to build a life .... yet you stay so busy you have no life. Lol  maybe this is what they mean when the say “on the rat wheel”!!

All this for one picture!

If you know me you know I like pictures. I like to take them, I like to scrap them, I like to frame them.  They are my trophies of my life.  We got our family pictures taken on October 20, first time we were able to get all of us together for a professional family photos in 23 years. Of course it was windy because the original date we had picked out that Tanner couldn’t make it to was perfect LOL. 

Considering the wind, they all turned out pretty good. I really just wanted a big family picture so I could put it on my wall. Little did I know that I was going to have to spend two hours or more to completely rearranging my family wall. I had to take every single picture down ...every nail out ...go buy two new frames ...figure out what to do with three pictures that I didn’t use and find a better picture of Evelyn!  It was worth it!  My wall looks great! 

Gearing up for the holidays!

I love it when my family gets together for the holidays.  We're 17 strong and loud!  I have music theatre children in the family... they have learned to project their voices.... so no matter what room they are in, or even if they are outside... we hear them loud and clear!

I love it!

Dennis?  Not so much!

He is never to sure once the loudness starts and  the kids are asking 30 questions and all fighting over the same toy.  He looks defeated when people make messes and then walk into another room and make another mess.

The door opens and closes so many times and he thinks I have cooked too much food and just knows he will have to eat leftovers for 3 weeks. We are several families coming together for one meal and the time is always an issue for someone.

I miss having Thanksgiving  at Aunt Sandy's and Uncle Genes.  When all I did was made a couple dishes to bring to the party!  It was the best holiday then.  Eating food, visiting with family, riding 4 wheelers and going to the movies.  Then I would come home and decorate for Christmas while Dennis went to work and the kids played.

I am working hard on making it a fun holiday here too... but it's a lot of work!  I just keep telling myself that I have a 4 day weekend to recuperate!  (the only one I have all year)  And Decorate for Christmas.... so there's that....
