So all I can say is that my wonderful husband spoiled me on my Birthday. Not only did he get me the pressure caner I have been wanting but he also got me a Brother serger. Now if I can only get someone to teach me how to use them. Well I have found some great tutorials for the serger (feeling more and more comfortable with it the more I use it), I'm a little hesitant to just try out the caner. If I do something wrong it could blow up, scary. So if I could get someone to actually teach me I would be more comfortable. Then the older girls decorated my Suburban for me and also paid (with their own money) for 5 of the crafts for me so I can do Super Saturday. #1 even made me some bath scrub, she is so thoughtful, oh and she is the only one who did her chores so I didn't have to. Thanks sis for being you and your big heart.
So #4 has been in school for a week and a half and is doing great. Her sister on the other hand had a tough day yesterday. #5 came up to me crying, I asked her why she was crying and she said she missed #4. She asked if we could go pick her up so she could see her. Could she be any sweeter? I had to explain that she was at school but at 3 I pretty sure it went in one ear and out the other. So I offered her a snack and all was good in her little world.
#6 woke up yesterday with a big red spot on her right eye. I have no idea what happened and she's not complaining about and its in the white area of the eye. So we are just going to keep an eye on it and hope it goes away. Only thing is that it looks like it might be getting a little bigger today, I will look again tomorrow and if its even bigger then we will take her in to get it looked at. She's a little trooper, you have to be when you are the baby of 6 girls.
We are looking into going to Disneyland in October before our passes expire. Just the thought of a trip gets me excited, then I start looking for a place to stay and the anxiety sets in. With a family of eight we need two rooms so it gets expensive and then the excitement lessens. I start the wonder if we should spend the money on Disneyland (my favorite place in the world, I'm obsessed) because how the cost of living has gotten crazy expensive. I start thinking of all the things we could do with the money, then start thinking maybe we shouldn't go and next thing I know I'm depressed because I want to go so bad. This adult thing really stinks sometimes. We did go to DL in April (only 1 full day and 1 half day) but that's because the girls had a cheer competition, we were only a few blocks away and we already had passes. The girls are not in cheer any more because it was expensive and hubby was working 5 - 6 12hr shifts a week (he didn't get to spend time with us) to pay for it as well as everything else. We decided we wanted him home more which meant we couldn't afford the tuition. It was hard not letting them try out again but the family is more important, I love having him home and I wouldn't change that for the world. We also told them we could do more if we didn't have to pay for cheer. But summer is now over and looking back they really didn't get to do much this summer. We didn't take a vacation, didn't do much of anything but go to my moms to swim. The older three did get to go to Job's Grand Session, four days at a hotel, it was a great time. Then the 2 oldest did girls camp with church. The youngest three didn't get to go do much so I feel like they deserve a family trip. Not to mention #5 keeps asking if we can go see Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, and Donald Duck tomorrow (doesn't understand it 6hrs away). Now that I have gone off on a tangent let me get back to the trip. We are in the process of making reservations and planning it out but I would be lying to myself if I didn't admit I'm hesitant to spend that much money. Ugh, I love Disneyland at Halloween time and it's become a tridition for us to go, I'm torn on what to do.
