Can't think of a good title today...

Like I said in my last post, randomness seems to be the perfect title to every post I make. But, I refuse to title 2 post in a row exactly the same!

First of all, I am so mad at blogger right now. I mean, do they not realize spellcheck hasn't worked for 2 weeks? I am the worst speller on the planet and when spellcheck doesn't work, my bloggy friends think that I am a complete idiot! So I apologize( is that how you spell that) in advance for all the misspelled words in this post!

I was IMing with Jason today while he was in Seymour. Right in the middle of a conversation he switched it to busy!! How dare him "busy" me on Valentines Day! The nerve!

I was talking with some friends the other night and we were discussing how our babies are starting to develop sentences and say words they could never pronounce before. It makes me sad. Dora the Explorer has been a favorite among my little ones for a couple of years now. Kenna has always called her "Dodo" as in "dodo brain". We all thought is was so funny. Yesterday, she walked up to me and so matter-of-factly said, "Momma, turn Dowa the explowa on for me peeze!" Oh, break my heart! I asked her why she isn't calling her Dodo anymore and she said, "because I a big gill"! I wanted to ask her if she was a big girl why she was refering to herself as a gill, but I didn't want to have two tramatic language breakthroughs in one stinkin day. It's hard enough on a momma as it is!

I took Kenna with me to Case's preschool party yesterday. She and another little boy that will be in her class next year were so big. They did all the songs with the "big kids" and sat at a table together and decorated cookies. I do believe all the partying they have done with their big brothers and sisters has most definately prepared them for preschool. They were so cute! I can't believe next year ALL my kids will be in school, whether it is preschool or elementary. WOW! Time flies when your having fun!

I know I keep whinning about how much Jason is working these days. Please bear with me for a couple more weeks. At least until I adjust to these hours. I know there are LOTS of women out there who's husbands work alot, all the time, not just once or twice a year. But, for our family, this is a HUGE adjustment. I'm not sure Jason could handle many more days that start at 4:30am and end about midnight or later. And I don't think I could handle many more days that I wake up and he is gone and I go to bed without him. I HATE going to bed alone. I think that as soon as we get caught up on some things, from losing his secretary the first week of busy season,we will catch a breathe.

Thankfully, my little sister Krista has been there to answer phones and take the mountain of messages when he is at the new firm.

Don't get me wrong. I feel absolutely blessed to be where we are. These two firms are a dream for Jason. He still can't believe he is the owner of 2 business. The Lord has answered many prayers by allowing all of this to happen. The busyness of the season is a sign that he is succeeding. A business is not a business without busyness!!

Having said all that, please keep our family in your prayers. The children are having issues with Daddy not being around also. Case cried this morning because Jason was already gone when he got up. Then again when he realized that he was in Seymour today and not at the firm here in town. He likes to just stop into the office at least once a day to tell Daddy "Hi". He is a huge Daddy's boy. He is also, most definately, our child who has issues with change and adjustment!

So, please bear with me for just a little longer and I promise to SHUT UP!!

I am taking advice from a fellow friend and blogger, Summer, in writing this post. She posted a couple of weeks ago about the "fakeness" of some blogs. How we, as Momma bloggers, only tell the "lovelyness" of our lives. How we never have a big post about how overwhelmed and stressed we are. In fear, of course, that others might think we are negative or nagging. Well,people, I am here to tell you that my life right now is FAR from perfect. I am more stressed and overwhelmed than I have ever been in my ENTIRE life. I keep my head above water just knowing that April 15th things will slow down and I will no longer be a "tax-widow", as another CPA wife put it! My housework is behind, I am reduced to tears a couple of times a day, and I have loaded and unloaded 5 children into my car more times than I care to recount. I went to workout yesterday for the first time in 2 weeks. I just hate to go by myself and load all the kids up for a 30 minute workout. But I did it anyway. And I was glad. So there you have it folks! Miss Negative. Miss Overwhelmed. Miss Stessed. Miss Naggy. Herself. Right here! Because, that is my reality right now!

Is my life also great at the same time?YES. And there is a light at the end of the tunnel!

I am so thankfull for my family. I am thankful that I love my husband so much that it matters to me when he is gone. That we all miss him when he is not here to eat and play with us. That he is such the leader of this household that it doesn't function when he isn't there to lead us. That is a blessing in itself!

Happy Valentines Day bloggy friends!
