The Things Kids Do....

Ok so it 11 oclock PM and Ella still is not sleeping. Not really paying attention to her while watching TV I yell for her to see where she went. Hoping that she went in our room and crawled in bed with Tony and is sleeping..............WRONG! Here she comes in the living room and her hair is all wet. Lots of things are running through my head like how did just here hair get wet and is water all over the floor in the bathroom and how big of a mess did she just make. I ask her "Ella why is your hair all wet. How did your hair just wet?'' She told me that she was hot....(my house is cold like always 69 degrees) and that she got her hair wet. I asked her how and she side daddy turn the bath tub on. I know that tony didnt get up and i didnt hear any water on. After asking her again she then told me that she put her head in the TOILET!!!!!! Are you kidding me ........ no she is not. Needless to say here we are at 11.20 and ella is in the damn bath tub..............I really want to pull my hair out.

Emma won again!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So today the girls and I went out to Grandma Jansens. As Were getting out of the car and walking up to the house grandma's coming out on the phone repeatedly asking for Emma. I was like shes about ten minutes behind us coming with mom why whats wrong. At the same time we were pulling up grandma got a call that Emma Meinhart won the Massey Harris quilt the Harvest Fest in pic-villie. That makes the second thing she has won intwo weeks. She won a savings bond at the church breakfast two weeks ago. I won the quilt at the breakfast so thats 2 quilts we won. Go us. Do I need to buy a lottery ticket.....maybe. The crazy thing about Emma winning is that the drawing was for people all over the state. Since the quilt is a Massey Harris and thats grandpas favorite and we are john deere people we are going to give it grandpa for christmas.........

Work Work & more Work----Emma birthday

So I started this new job on tuesday I am super excited still am but now the 3rd day and I am working from home (office is getting worked on) and I brought work home with me last night and worked on it for almost 4 hours. I have a huge dead line to meet with some stuff and lots of things have to get approved by the big boss in chicago and the legal before it gets the ok. WHAT HAPPENED TO STARTING A NEW JOB AND EASING INTO IT! I feel like have been going a hundred miles a hour since tuesday. Yesterday I felt like I only got to hold/rock/play with Elaina for like a hour total. I hope this is not how it is going to be all the time. I do like what I am doing and who my boss is but dang I have not worked in town for 3 years. On top of that i am suppose to only be 3day a week...........lets see if I get a call from Chicago tomorrow. The boss is back there and I still have a couple things to take care of before he get back on tuesday.

Also little miss Emma is turning 6 tomorrow it is so hard to believe. What do I get a 6 year old who has major attitude? Nothing..........no, I better get here something or we will have a huge melt down on our hands. anyway Happy Birthday Emma Rose

Some things just fall in you lap.....

So I know that right now lots of people are looking for a job and while I was not look for one one just happen to fall in to my lap. It all happened in a matter of three days. I am really excited about it. I will be working for BN National Trail located in Newton. It is a office job nothing special but still to be getting back into the swing of things is exciting. I will start out just 3 days a week then go to full time. BN National Trial is the company that bought National Trail Bio diesel and is putting up the Bio diesel Plant in Newton. I worked for NTB when I was prego with Ella and since then I have just been helping Tony. Granted I will miss running the combine this fall but that is OK. I cant wait I start tuesday..............wish me good luck.

Potty training sucks

OK so it 10pm and I'm walking around the house shutting all the light off when i smell something. Like a shitty diaper but i cant find it and no the trash does not need taken out. So I'm checking and I come to Stella and that is where it is coming from. After she went to sleep she shit in her pull up. I am thinking "Damn It" not i have to change her while she is sleeping. Keep in mine that she just turn 3 and we are not potty trained yet. She has no interest in it. We were doing great about 2 months ago and it just fell apart. I am so tired of buying diapers for 2 kids and changing double diapers. Anyone with any ideas please help unless your willing to change shitty diapers then come on over.

Why are birthdays so much work?

So today was Ella's birthday..................I wish that one sunday there could be absolutely nothing to do. Do day started out like every other sunday at 7 a.m. We have to start that early to even try to make it to 10 o'clock church. So tony leave to go feed pig never makes it back till after nine. By the I am pissed off because I have gave all four girls a bath, washed and fixed hair, packed the diaper bag making sure to have snack for everyone, and showered. He then wonders why I am not ready and i have the girls clothes all laid out and not on them, because if the get ready any sooner than 5 minutes before we leave they will get dirty. And yes I am one of those crazy people who dress their kids to match so if one outfit gets dirt then everyone has to change. Anyway I still have to blow dry my hair and finish getting my self dress while helping him which makes me want to pull my hair out. So them while he drives to church I am in the front seat pulling on makeup. Then to top it all off Fr. Joe is walking in church while were looking for a parking space...........screw it not making 10 and off to 10:30 church. After all that one would feel like resting right ...............nope off to Sandy's 50th birthday party, good time but not relaxing cause my wonderful girls can get in to anything. Then off to home to clean the house before everyone comes over for Ella's birthday. And yes my house is a wreck after the drop and go, running around before church. The westendorf's all come over have cake and ice cream Ella gets some nice gifts n then they leave. Again another mess to clean up. By the time that that is all done it is 10 o'clock. I wouldn't change it for the world but i just wish everything was not on the same day and Sunday. So Happy 3rd Birthday Ella!!! And for everyone who doesn't know i again have to children who are the same age for two months. Those slip ups will get up every time.
