ANOTHER CRAZY WEEK

Ok....so life has slowed down slightly...only slightly. I still have a gazillion things on my plate. But I am just going to keep breathing.

We just recently sold our very expensive truck and moved into a very affordable, very reliable car that we hope will last for many years. I am hoping for 15 years. But that would make Halainah 17 and that is just way too scary for me to even think about.

I was the lucky winner of the "thing" I posted about below. And that "thing" was a job that I desperately wanted that I had interviewed for. It seemed as though it was a great fit for me and I was very excited about it. They called on Monday to offer me the job. Unfortunately, I needed more time than they were willing to give me. I needed at least a week to find adequate daycare. I suppose they were not willing to give me that time and I was unable to find help so...there goes that!

Tony and I have been mapping our lives out for the past 6 months. Reducing bills and monthly payments was one part of it. Now comes the larger part of mapping out our lives. Let's just say we have a vision and that vision means a complete life change. But it would better our lives. It's a work in progress.

Yesterday Halainah saw a commercial for "Elmo Live...When Elmo Grows Up." She went nuts screaming Elmo and clapping and dancing. It was just so adorable. So what is a Mother to do? I called Tony and told him Halainah wanted to go see Elmo Live, so we ordered the tickets. But the show is in April. So that stinks but I am very excited for Halainah.

On Tuesday, Halainah's cousin Tyler slept over. Halainah and Tyler played until midnight. The next day my cousin and I took the little cousins, Tyler and Halainah into Brooklyn. They had a blast at the Brooklyn Children's Museum. They are so cute together and love each other very much. The next day when Halainah woke up, she walked into the spare bedroom calling for him..."Tye Tye." She was very sad that he went home.

Well, our family is off for another jammed packed weekend where we will not have 1 minute to ourselves. But it should be fun.

Hope your weekend is just as spectacular.

Many Blessings to All!


Halainah loved the slide the most at the children's museum.

Check out the size of that snake...not too sure if Halainah liked him or not.
