Test.. and WOOT WOOT!!

Well.. I am trying to upload some pics.. Blogger has been acting wonky lately.. so we shall see if it works..

Update on us.. we are OUTTA HERE on the 10th!! Headed to NH.. but making a few stops in between. Have to stop in Jacksonville, FL to see my Uncle Bob since we are leaving, and they just got down here for the Winter. Plus, I want to get some beach pics of my kids..

Hoping to catch up with Ms. Bonni.. to have lunch or dinner or something.. then we are headed to Frederick, MD to stay for a day or 2. Going to visit some of my very best friends and my Aunt and Uncle.. it will be a good break for the kids too.. Seriously, If Jacob new my Mom better.. I would fly him up there and then fly back to drive up with Tim. He does NOT like to ride in the car. It is going to be interesting!

Well.. so far, its not lookin' good for the pics... dont know why this thing is acting so Wonky.. *sigh*

So with the time change, today has seemed to DRAG on.. Ugh, why is that??
The kids are getting excited about Halloween.. Natalie is at the perfect age to "Get" it.. and she is STOKED about getting "candy presents". She tried on her little fairy costume today.. and was twirling around in it.. so cute!
Wyatt wants me to take him to the Haunted House.. he keeps telling me that its not real Mom, they are just people and he wont be scared.. but I do think he will be scared.. Decisions..
here are some pics that ive taken the last few weeks ;) Gotta Run, Tim wants to watch a movie ;)

my little Photographer

I was brave enough to let Wyatt touch my camera yesterday;) He LOVES to take pictures and is always wanting to use my camera.. but for fear of him breaking it, I rarely let him touch it ;) Yes, I will be getting him his own camera for Christmas;) So, he snapped a few pics of me.. and then of me and Natalie. He did a great job!
Off to scrap while I can.. I have a ton of pics to post in a bit.. but the house is quiet.. so catch ya later;)

Wishing and Hoping...

ok so I applied for a job here http://vtbear.stores.yahoo.net/index.html
as a assistant photographer.. and yes, bears I know, but its the principal of the matter, and I have to start somewhere.. I do not know how much the salary is.. but there are benefits and 401k so that doesnt so much concern me.. call me crazy, but its the experience I want.. this is a pretty reputable company, so it has to be semi decent..
SOO... WISH ME LUCK, Will Ya.. I really want this job! Even tho, it is is VT.. but a few of the federal Jobs that Tim applied for are in Burlington.. so it would work just fine... however, we would be almost 2 hours North of my parents.. which is A OK with me.. but they might not think so.. anyways.. Im really praying about this one. Can you tell I am a "little" excited ;)

As far as the home front.. Life is good.. the kids are starting to get a little sad because they have to leave their friends... yikes, Natalie has been asking for a Sister.. bless her little heart.. she really is going to miss the neighbor girls when we move..
So planning a Birthday party for her and a Going Away at the same time.. that way Wyatt wont feel left out.. and he can have his friends from school over before we leave.

Well.. the kids are napping, so I am going to go Scrap while i can ;) have a wonderful Day !!

*SIGH

So... whats going on?? Well..... not a lot really.. kindof at an Impass right now. Talked to a few good friends today. it is nice to catch up.. but at the same time sad.

Why is it that when I hear something I am wanting to hear... it goes from being a good thing, to depressing in a matter of minutes.. My Emotions are screwy these days.. and I hate it. Other than that.. Life is good ;)

Wyatt is going on a Field trip tomorrow to the fire station.. Yes, he is STOKED!!
Natalie has discovered Bubble Gum.. and wants to chew it CONSTANTLY ;) at least she doesnt swallow it..
Jakey well.. hes just the CUTEST little kid.. but this separation anxiety is wearing thin on me.. I cant turn my back on him without the tears flowing... lol..
Migraine central today.. so not much out of me.. I did manage to scrap tonight.. miracle, I know.. and if all goes well, I plan on scrapping a bit in the morning.. Nat has a playdate at the neighbors.. so Ill have a little bit of free time..
WOW.. well its way past my bedtime.. and i do need to get some sleep..
Have a Great Day!!

Lets Talk about Music..

ok.. so I was reading Lauras blog.. and Im officially "tagged" and now so are you.. so when you are done reading this, head over to your blog and list the 7 songs that are in your head or whatever right now..

The Power of Music is really getting to me these days... Growing up, my Dad used to drill into our heads to "sensor" what we listened to as it can affect the way you think and feel. Yes, he was refering to "Secular" music and how it can illusion your mind into thinking that certain things are ok. Well, Yes, I respected him to a point, but for the most part I never really got it until recently.

There are certain songs that I "LOVE" but for certain reasons I cant allow myself to listen to.. Why? well, they remind me of someone that I shouldnt be thinking about. Yes, I said that. Someone from my past, that came into my present, who I had to send back into my past.
So not helping, I hear this song called "lips of Angel" by Hinder.. which totally takes my thoughts where they need not be.. *sigh*

One of the hardest things I have ever had to do.. and It sucks. Anyways, so as to not torture myself anymore, I have been trying to "sensor" what I listen to..

So, have I shocked you yet?? Yes, I am usually a pretty private person. Why? honestly, because I have trust issues. Yes, I do. Ive learned not to tell anyone anything that you do not want repeated, why? because usually no matter if there was a "promise" made it still gets repeated.. there are the exceptions.. DH and my SIL..
they are the 2 that I can tell things to, and If I ask them not to be repeated, I know it wont be.. ok.. well, I just went from being in a semi good mood to a crappy one, so I am done writing....

anyways, so what Ive been listening too lately, Honestly..

Kids music is what is most played in this house..

but I have managed to download a few newer songs of itunes:

Curious George soundtrack ( Jack Johnson)
Chasing Cars ( snow Patrol)
How to Save a Life( the Fray)
Life is a Highway ( rascal Flatts)
Leap frog baby song ( yes, i do dance around and act foolish with my kids)
Rascal Flatts -me and my gang
Blue Light- ( dont remember the artist)
