A case of the blahs

I think that I am just so ready for spring and summer. I like all the seasons but winter...I can't stand the cold, I'm not real fond of the snow even, and it seems like it drags on forever. I like short sleeves and flip flops, diggin in the dirt, swimming, camping, barbeques, even weenie roasts in the fall, I like the smells of spring, the warmth of summer, and the colors of fall. But lately I haven't even been able to get myself to enjoy anything because of this nasty weather. I've lost all interest in normal things. I used to enjoy and look forward to working out, now I don't even care what I eat. I used to read my Bible every night before bed, and ashamed to say I have a hard time remembering to take it to church on Sundays. I used to want to do all that I could for the church and now I don't even like to leave my house. I've been on "spring break" this whole week and I think that I've left my house 3 times. That's sad. I do enjoy not working though and Caleb said he could get used to it again. I have managed to keep the house pretty clean, get dinner on the table every night, get some painting done for the closet, and make mints and a cake for my neighbor. I've just got cabin fever so bad that I can't hardly stand it, it's driving me crazy! Anyway, that's all just thought I'd vent.

2 posts in one day!



So this song was redone by Raven for her new movie, but I remember the first time I heard this song. I think I was skating...but anyway, they attribute this song as the pioneer of rap. I don't know about all that, but man I really dig this song!

sorry it's been so long

So I haven't been on for a while so this may prove to be a fairly long one, but then again maybe not! Well let's see, first thing new and exciting is my step-daughter gave her life to Christ and got baptized yesterday at Jefferson Street Christian church. Her step-father and other step-sister got baptized as well. So what a day of rejoicing yesterday for our families. Caleb asked Jade what it meant to be baptized and she understood what it meant and she was really excited to do it. I think Caleb even teared up a bit when she went under and came back up.
Sesleigh has learned how to ride a two-wheeler bike now. She is so excited and won't stop pestering me to go out and ride. So finally yesterday we went out and she did fairly well, only 7 or 8 wipeouts. She still needs help getting started some times, but she gets to going and goes quite a ways. It is almost scary to me how much these girls are growing up. I mean Jade is making huge life altering decisions, and Sesleigh is gaining more and more independence.
As for Z.J., she is like a little sponge and ready to repeat anything you say. She has started saying Love you or something like that in the past week. Yesterday at Sunday school she learned the word happy and wouldn't quit saying it all day. She is such a Daddy's girl it is not even funny.
My husband has been busy working in the bedroom. We have been in our new huge bedroom for about 4 weeks now. It is amazing and big, Caleb said the first night that he felt like he was sleeping in a hotel room! It's nice to finally have our own space and to have it feel like a retreat. He has now started working on the closet, we have it mostly drywalled. Once we get all that done, then Caleb will start building the shelves and all that good stuff.
I think that's the biggest stuff to update about so I better get off here and get ready for work.
