POOL!!!!

So it is finally coming down :).....I cant wait to see how big my back yard really is with out the HUGE pool in the way Lol.

so I unscrewed most of it and and took off most of the top piece thingys lol . mark has to get his metal cutters and cut it all into 3 foot pieces . we are going to take it in for scrap metal and get some money for it lol .

I loved the idea of a pool but after having one and not being able to take care of it (pregnancies) and dh working so much . It was just to much . and the fact that my boys HATE going in it .abd I will not take all three boys in by myself anyways .
the only one who is going to be upset is my stepdaughter :( but she will get over it .

so wish me lucjk that i can get rid of it by sunday

Moving/cleaning things

Ok so today I am working on clean junk out and getting rid of it . and moving this like my sewing area . I have been sewing in the kitchen first it was on the kitchen table . Then I got a little corner computer table and worked on that . But I had fabric everywhere and it has been driving me crazy . I don't want to move down into the basement to sew but it looks like I am going to have to .

One good thing about sewing in the basement is I have a HUGE table to work on so cutting things out will be SO much easier . and well I am sewing I can be doing laundry at the same time :) . kill two birds with one stone .

I have two bookshelves in the living room I am trying to bring it down to ONE . It should be do able :) .I am hoping to have that done by the end of the week .

I cleaned off the little round table in the front room that had a HUGE stack of work papers from mark on it . so I sorted it and put it in a books for mark to go through and see if he needed to keep it .

I have 5 kids today and I can believe I am getting anything down :) but hey like I said on FB slow and steady and it seems to be working . and I have put Noah to work a little too lol .

do you have any tips on how to stay organized or even how to get organized ?????
I would love to hear them ....

well I am off to start cleaning more and get dinner prep going

Mondays !!!

I know I am not the only one that hates mondays :) . But do I "really " hate them . The more I think about it the more I have to say no I dont hate them .Here is why :

Mondays I get things back to normal . the house gets picked up cause it really doesnt stay clean over the weekend . and the boys get back on their schedules . Sundays have to be the worse days for the boys cause we are out ALL day . They dont get good naps at the right times :( which makes for a long day for me .

Today Philip had a HUGE mess of linkin logs to pick up from yesterday (thanks dad ) . And well I was out to the store for coffee filters :) ( I <3 coffee) ,Micah dumped the whole bag of cat food on the rug UGGHHH . Mark was on the phone not paying attention :( . So my monday has been exciting so far lol .


I have to vacuum and clean the kitchen while Micah and david are napping :) . Also start diaper laundry and then I am going to work on finishing up our schedule today cause i could not get to it this week end .

Hope you all have a great day :)

Hope you all have a great

going green

Homemade laundry soap
1/2 bar of fel napthe
2 1/2 cups of Borax
2 1/2 cups of washing soda

Add 3 tbsp to wash with a tbsp of oxy clean
and add 1/4-1/2 cup of vinger during the rinse

this is what I am finding work for me and my clothes . I tried it with 1 1/2cups of Borax n 1 1/2 of cup soda but i still felt like my clothes were not clean enough . I have THREE messy boys I need heavy duty LOL . so I add 1/2 a cup more of each until I got what i felt was right for me and my wash .

I am really enjoying the smell of my clothes :) . and I LOVE that I KNOW what is in the laundry soap . Housewives are 55% more likely to get cancer cause they are home and using all the different cleaners with tons of chemicals . so I am trying to use/make as many cleaners as I can .
vinger and water is my favorite clean to use as a multi-purpose cleaner and it works great on windows/glass BTW . I am going to try and make some other cleaners and I will let you know how and if I like them .

stay at home mommy :)

Ok so I have these three beautiful baby boys they can be very crazy and destroy everything they touch lol (well the two older ones atleast I have been going crazy trying to figure out what to do with them and how to keep my house fairly clean at the same time .


Well PTL He answers prayer . A friend of mine told me about a book (managers of their home) and a website( titus2.com) to go to . So I want to the website and looked at what it had to offer and I order a book and cd. I have been reading this book and God has opened my eyes to the life he wants me to have and the life I want my family to have .

I am on step 5 for getting our schedule done I am hoping some time tonight or tomorrow mark and I can go over it and pray and make sure that this is what God really want our day to look like . I have peace that He does.

The only thing I am scared about is the waking up early thing . If you know me at all you would know that I am NOT a morning person . I HATE getting out of bed . It is even harder to get out of bed when you have been up 2,3,4 times in the night by a baby or a toddler needing to go potty or having a bad dream . But like she says in the book "I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHICH STRENGTHENETH ME phil.4:13"

So with the help of my Lord Jesus Christ and support of my husband. I am going to give it a go.I have a few more chapers to read and then I am going to do my best to stick with the plan as best as I can :):):) I will give updates on how things are going .
