There is nothing new to report from this household so I thought I would update all the things that I am still doing and loving, and the stuff that has fallen to the wayside.
Still:
clipping coupons and going to CVS every Sunday and getting goobs of stuff for practically nothing. A few weeks ago I went in with $32 ecb, my starting total was $45, after coupons and ecb's I spent 19 cents out of pocket and walked out with $33 in ecb's. Now my ecb's are down to $16 and I need to try and build them back up, because this week I had to buy a medication that cost $13 and I used my ecb's even though the product gave me no bucks back.
I am still using the writing notebooks for the boys punishments for all kinds of disrespectful talking. I am not as on the ball as I was previously, but still doing it and liking the results.
I am still going to the chiropractor and taking all my whole food vitamins. I am feeling so great, I have energy, I'm sleeping better at night and needing less sleep. Also my Mrs. O saw me in the grocery store w/o makeup and thought that the dark circles under my eyes were diminished. Austin is also now going to the chiro, and I am soooo glad I got him checked out. His x-rays were a mess and even a newbie like me could tell he was very crooked. He was more out of alignment than I was.
Not doing:
The daily food journal. That was way to difficult to keep up with, uploading pictures everyday and remembering to take them in the first place.
any type of devotions. This is troublesome too me. I want to want to do them, but have no motivation at all right now. I still pray everyday, all throughout the day, but no studying or reading of the word for quite a while.
I am not staying on a healthy diet at all right now, and I can't blame Nate's hours on this. I wasn't doing well with that even before he started all this overtime.
So that is all for now. I have been pondering some things about adoption in general that God has been doing in my heart, but those posts are for another time.
Oh! We are getting sod laid in our front yard, and the guys on tractors were here today spreading dirt and such pleasantries. I hope it doesn't all wash away, becasue we are in for some t-storms over the next few days.

You already know (like we all do!) that you should eat healthy so no preaching from me. Besides, I'm the last one to preach to you on that issue. You feel better so that's something.
I thought I was the only one dealing with kids who have sharp tongues -mainly with each other, not me. We're working on that too. I wonder if the fact that they are all the same gender makes it worse somehow?
I don't think gender is the culprit. My children are all snappy with each other. I guess it's just learning experiences. Someone told me one time that if children can learn to get along with all of their siblings, they will be able to get along with anyone as adults.
I think Deeann's comment is true. I also heard that if you were snappy or annoyed with your brothers or sisters that you will behave the same way with your spouse.(unless your careful) Catrina, how old does a child have to be to go and see a Chiro? Just wondering because Sienna has been complaining about her neck and she has never complained about it before. I need to get on a healthy diet again too......!!!!!! Well, we have to encourage each other to do it. I have gained 5 in the last couple of months and I am going to blame it on having little oatmeal cookies for Marina around all the time. I have to stop having a cookie with her. : (
Well hope to talk to you again soon.
