Ramblings of Wife, Mother & Romantic

Archive for August, 2008

I have decided to do a kind of a theme for the month

of September…..

A self Portrait, 5 days a week for a month.

A acquaintance i noticed on her sweetbeeblog.blogspot.com blog will be doing this as well,

and i thought it would be fun….

I wonder how many times in one month

my hair will change….????

I long to walk down an English garden pathway,

the wind blowing my hair…..

the smell of flowers, grass and rain

filling my nostrils.

I always have a feeling that i would be a completely different

person had i been born in

another era or place

in side of me is a complete and otherwise

changed woman,

i would have a garden, i would play in the woods

i would sip tea in my garden.

i would write stories

i would draw, paint

why do i feel like imagination and creativity

is lost in the desert, it truly is a barren place to live,

but i suppose one must be content and live a full complete life

where one is.

So i must make due….i don’t want to always be thinking

‘IF’ only i lived here, THEN i would be happy.

No i must determine to be happy here, where i am

with the life God has chosen to bless me with

i will be the absolute best Mother and Wife i can be.

i will bring out the best in my children,

When there are grown, and look back on their childhood

i want them to have pleasant memories of their Mother

not horrid ones of yelling and fighting and bickering

There is so much one must learn as a mother,

This is a lot harder then i previously thought it would be.

i must strive to do things the right way, to make a difference in the lives of every one i am in

contact with…

My home will be a peaceful, loving, joyful home

full of love and warmth.

What a glorious day….a day of pink….lovely beautiful PINK…..

Isn’t Pink a good color….i am thinking so.

good for writing with, good for clothes, paint…and

maybe Hair

color…..

Yes i said hair color….

today i did something i have never done before…

my hair has been over the years a rainbow of colors

but it always stayed on the almost could be natural side of the rainbow,

but now i have drifted to the ‘other’ side….somewhere OVER the rainbowmy friend Tasha, well, just to put it plainly ‘ROCKS’ My socks off

did my hair today, on her precious day off took 5 hours of her day

to make me look fabulous…..and did she ever accomplish that!tell me what you think….

This photo does not give it full justice, i had it back in a pony tail, and i have yet to fully style it

and make it my own, But wow….thats some color huh?

Now to continue with the days photos…..

While driving with my husband i leaned out the car window and took this one….

the clouds were AMAZING.

Then later on around 6:30pm we went to attend Kims Soccar game the wind picked up

and the clouds got dark.

I love days like this…..God is so good

God Blessed me for blessing others…I came home from a lovely date at Shagrues with my hubby

and found that dear sweet Christina

had folded the mountain of laundry on my bed

i almost broke into tears just from the sight of a laundry free bed

oh how things change when you become a Mother and wife

things that i would have never thought would reduce me to tears now does…

romantic movies, used to bring a tear to my eyes,

washed dishes, folded clothes and a clean bathroom now does.

I am going to try my best to sum up on this past weeks events
It was a week full of trials and testing,
but like always the Korv's dont let anything get us down
we are defantly a family that turns lemons into lemon aid.
It all started with our Air conditioner going out a day before R. was to leave on a
3 day mens retreat....We decided to hold off on figuring out what to do
cause our air man Ernie was also on this said retreat.
The night before he left we all slept at R.'s office, this is always a joy
we turn it into a picnic in the morning eating donuts and juice for breakfast.
R. left around 9am and after taking Adia to school i had to pack a few things
at the house and clean some. This didn't last long since the temperature was around
95 degrees in the house.
My best Buddie Julie opened her lovely home to me and my 3 punks and we overrun her son's
bedroom. it was a lovely 3 days, i cleaned and ironed for payment
and i even made muffins for breakfast and dinner 2 nights, (well one of those time Julie
and i both made it)
Apparently i am now a hot thing to have as a house guest and am being fought over...
i wouldnt be surprised if people tried to break our air so we had to stay with them
yes i suppose i might to bragging about myself somewhat
but what can i say my Mom raised me well and taught me
when you are at someones house to ALWAYS clean and do more than expected of you.
So thanks Mum!
Plus i so love cleaning other peoples houses.
Julie was an amazing hostess and made us feel very welcome....she even
bought me sushi on Friday night....i only had the vegetable rolls...couldn't do the raw stuff
its just nasty.
but it was fun non the less.....(lay off the mimosas Julie) hehe
On Sat evening my conquering husband returned ....we got us a hotel room for 2 nights, it was
nice it had a lovely pool we swam in all afternoon on Sunday.
and i am sure Avery was glad to have his room back to himself.
On Monday the air was fixed....its not the solution but for now it will work...
we have a plan in the making to figure out what we will do next.
Ever since then it seems i cant get back into the groove...
we continually have things going on...
On Tuesday and Wednesday i helped in Adias class.
I always have a wonderful time doing that....i miss working at Blake so much
then between church and running errands for r. It seems like i am never home.
Poor rusty is always in his cage poor little puppy. he's a great dog
i am praying my desk sells in the white sheet this week...i am desperate to get
it out of my bedroom ...i think that's why i feel like nothing is right
cause i am in limbo with how my house is...all will be well very soon
Today Julie and i took the kids to McDonald's and to the business expo at the aquatic center
to see the kids daddy's
my day was wonderful.....the children are all bathed and smelling sweet
and now we must go get daddy!
toodles for now

So much has gone on this past week, and

i really shoudl give an up date

but alas i am tto tired to type

so i will try and shoot for tomorrow

just know God is good all the time

He is always there

to pick you up

No matter how bad you think things are, there really not that bad after all

This morning Lennon and I both got to join Adia in her
classroom for 45 mins so he could see what she does at school
He simply loved it, and is very excited about going next year.
I as well had an amazing time, i helped out by taking apart the book orders and
arranging them in piles...
Doing this simple job brought back so many wonderful
memories of when i worked at Blake elementry school in parker.
I really do miss having a out of house job,
i cant say i dont have a job, just one i dont get paid at.
I am longing to work at a school again
and contemplating about taking classes to get my associates degree
so i can be a teachers aide.
I really dont have the time to go back to school but if i could get all online classes,
i might beable to swing that.
So i am going to pray about it,
cause i dont want my home to get neglected,
or my husband for that matter....
i need to make sure i can juggle having a job and a family.

Me looking looking quite sultry with Adia and Lennon

Last month my dear sweet hubby got a speedng

ticket and had to take a driving school…

Which i guess he thoughly enjoyed, he said he learned alot from it

So now he always telling me little facts that he learned

one of them was

R,  ‘Do you know that sign that says no left turns when you come out from the post office?

Me. Yes, the one i never listen to and always turn left anyways?

R. Yes, well its a private sign by the post office and you CAN turn left.

Me. hhmmmmm

We have many of those conversations,

He has also become the seat belt police, something i have been trying to get him to do since we were dating…so going on 8 years

sometimes i guess you have to hear it from someone else.

The other tid bit of information he found out

was children 5 and up can sit in the front seat air bags or not.

so that is Adia’s new favorite thing…she even tries to sit there if both R. and i are there…kicking me in the back seat.

WHATEVER little girl.

it is quite nice driving her to school, with her sitting next to me, us chatting the whole way, instead of her all the way in the back, and us yelling back and forth.
