Random Nothings

So as of late I have started working with Leslie.
She runs an in home daycare with 5-6 kids depending on the day. 
I had no idea how stressful and demanding, both emotionally and physically, it would be to deal with kids. 
They are very wild. Like all children. 
And very very loud. 
 Lots of competition between the 2 oldest trying to be the best.
Which as anyone could guess never ends well.
They are good most days. 
But since they come so early in the morning, tired, hungry and emotional.
Naturally there are some very tough days. 
I never loved nap time so much in my life. 
The house is quiet and I get 1.5 hours of silence in my room.
Naturally I take that time to nap. 
Then I wake up and we watch them for a little longer till they go home.
Its nice to help out but my body is still adjusting to getting up early and lugging around tubby babies all day. 

In other news here are a few random photos.
Tom doesnt like to take pictures so sadly we dont have many recent ones. 
The last ones were from Christmas time! 
He hates being in front of a camera. 


Dinner a few weeks ago. 
Steak and taters


Sweet heaven on earth. 
They say i will die of salt overdose. 
But I just love it so much.


Buffalo Chicken Dip. 
One of our new favorites. 
Its good with chips or even as a sandwich.

A Day in the Life

Life around here is pretty boring as of late. 
I stay home while Tom works and makes us money to save up so we can go back to school
We are waiting because we still dont have a car or any money saved in the bank.
We are finally paying off our school so we can register for the next semester.
We are really hoping that we get alot of money back for our taxes so we can pay for school on time rather then having to wait and get late fees. 
Also we are going to GA in may for my birthday, mothers day, and a BBQ competition of my dads. 
We wont be there in time for my birthday but we will still get to celebrate it with them. 
 I missed celebrating my birthday with them last year because i was at school and just skyped with them
This year i will get to spend it with them and with toms family. 
Leslie and Paul already gave me their gift! 
They got me some Bear Paw boots! 
They are kind of like Ugs but much cheaper and cuter.
They are so comfortable, very warm and are great in the snow! 
Also the power goes out here any time the wind blows to hard.
but thankfully they have a fire heater so we never freeze to badly. 

My boots! 

Staying toasty! 




Leslie also got a call about a new day care child. 
They came to visit and it seemed to go well.
Just waiting to hear if they are interested. 
If they are I will help leslie and even be able to make a little money for tom and I to put toward a car and savings. 
Im glad I will be able to help with money because right now I feel bad because all I do is sit at home while tom works so hard to provide for us.




Well have a good day! (:
