Twilight posting I promised you

Okay, here is the picture I told you about.

I think that this guy looks more like my version of Edward.

Do you agree that he looks more like Edward?

See if you can guess who he is... :)

Kade...

Kade has loved anything with wheels since before he could crawl.

He had a great time on this old tractor.

FUN Foot Rodeo!

I already know that I've got my hand full with such a cute little girl,

but I didn't think it would be this bad this soon...

These two actually came and asked me if I'd take a picture of him roping her...

Wow. What do I do?

Sweet Riley

Riley is all about writing these days. She is so proud of what she is learning at school.

Today, while she was having a treatment, she wrote in her little notebook.

Isn't that sweet? She even did it like that, almost centered down the middle of the page.

That's my sweet Riley.

Still January...striving to look for the good

Well, I didn't get the job I was hoping to get...perhaps something better will come along--at least that's what I'm telling myself in order to get out of bed each morning.
Hopefully I have a better attitude at this point. Things are a long way from perfect, but they really aren't all that bad--knocking on wood. I have it pretty good here. I am also contriving ways to earn money that allow me to take my children to school regularly. I'll let you know how that turns out. In the meantime...I'm trying to smile. :)

It's January...so much for off to a good start

Okay, this will be my very first post without a picture...we'll see how that goes. I'm sure most of you have heard that I went from a wonderful school environment with my job, to a different school. They--you know...they--told me that I was changing locations the Wed before break. I was unhappy about the way they approached it from the beginning, but managed to keep a positive outlook by somehow convincing myself this was for the best. HA! If the Lord works in mysterious ways, this is a prime example. I am very unhappy where I am now. I don't know how long I can hold things together. I was doing all right when work was enjoyable, but now...I am so frustrated by the time I get home I can hardly deal with my own children. I fear they will suffer because of this. They already are asked to endure a lot, they shouldn't have to worry about Mommy blowing up if things don't go just so. Right now, my short term goal is to last till Spring Break. I'm currently looking for a new job--so if any of you know something I could do that would work around my kids school calendar, please let me know--but don't know what else to do. My mom and dad would like me to move to ABQ. I'm making a list of demands that I'm hoping will be just too much, but they seem to really want us there. I guess I've reached another crossroads. We'll see how this turns out.
