So, as you can see it has been a while since the blogging lol. I think it is because school is in session, my RA is flaring like crazy, and all I want to do at the end of the day is go to sleep! For those of you with chronic illness, you understand the thought process of just 15 minutes MORE of sleep instead of blogging. BUT I do want to blog and be thankful! Especially since November is upon us and lots of people are doing thankful blogs. So even if I sign on here to write one thing each day that I am thankful for this month...I am going to make an effort to blog each day!
I can't believe we have been here for over 4 months now! It seems like just yesterday we were moving in without any of our belongings to a state that we didn't know if we had a house or not lol. Now our home is 90% unpacked, things are looking great, we have a movie theater room, a play room, and a beautiful bedroom. My family loves playing in the backyard. Ginger loves running in the grass chasing her ball and Joel loves playing basketball with me on our little court. We are so blessed!
This week was filled with more sleep. Like I said, I am flaring pretty badly right now but I am taking Humira (this week was a shot week and I did it all by myself again!) and methotrexate and hopefully my body will respond to the combo of taking those two things soon. For now I do what I CAN when I CAN and leave the rest alone.
This week was also Joel's school book fair and it was fun to get to work at his school, eat lunch with him, bring him in from class to buy books, and buy his teacher books. There is something so magical about reading and it is such a happy moment to me to see how much Joel and Connor both love the books we bought to this week!
All of my kiddos got to dress up this week. Ginger got to go to Doggie Day Care as a Bumblebee and she had a blast and looked SO cute! Connor dressed up for his school parade and Joel got to do a PJ day at school. Halloween in Texas was great! We ordered a pizza and ate and then got the boys dressed and headed out. We did all of our street and another street. It was so much fun to meet new neighbors and talk to people on our street! There are so many wonderful people that live here! The boys had a great time collecting candy and looking at all of the decorations. They were so cute in their Knight and Jengo Fett costumes! They went to bed happy and worn out!
Friday was David's day off of work so he got to take Joel and his "Stinky Cheese Man" pumpkin project to school and do breakfast with dad! I worked at Joel's book fair one last time and then David and I did lunch at our new favorite Sushi restaurant! It is SO good! We left with our tummies smiling! He needed new shoes so we went to the local outlet mall and found some good ones. It was such a nice day hanging out with him just the two of us all afternoon! At night we ate dinner and then headed upstairs to the movie room to watch Harry Potter. It was SO nice snuggling on our couch and watching a movie! We really felt like we were at the theaters! I can see us enjoying that room for years to come and I feel so blessed to live here!
Today is Saturday and is is SO cold! Joel had an early soccer game and we froze as we watched him play. It was sure nice to have a piping hot cup of Postum to drink while I watched him play! My Postum came in the mail earlier this week and I have really enjoyed trying out different ways to drink it! Tonight for dessert I had postum with eggnog as the dairy creamer...it was DELISH! We all snuggled on the downstairs couch and watched Beetlegeuse...I think that is how you spell it lol. It was loads of fun and now bath then bed! I am flying solo in the nursery tomorrow at church so really hoping it all goes well and that the kiddos enjoy their time with me!
Well, I am thankful I was able to write this blog today. And like I said, I am going to try to do every day in November for a thankful blog as well as happy moment journal. Hope all of you are enjoying happy moments where ever you may be!
