Life is crazy!
Things around here have been so crazy. I have been in bed sick since Saturday. Yesterday was the first time I had even gotten out of bed. I had a fever and a headache and I felt like I was being crushed by my own body. It really sucked. On Tuesday I had to get Lilly from school because she had a fever of 103. Poor kid. We layed in bed and watch TV. She was home yesterday and today too and she is finally going back to school tomorrow. Thank God for that. Gabe had his awards for basketball last night and we got his pictures and he got a trophy. It is so cute and he has been holding it all day. He loves it. So that is a short update for now. I am tired and I have a mountain of laundry to fold.

Long day
I had such a long day today. I am just getting settled now. And it is 1045 pm. The girls were home from school today. We went to church this morning and they learned how to use the knifty knitter. They are very excited about that. Gabe just ran around and ate animal crackers. We came home and they made sandwiches for lunch. They are so grown up. I had a headache so Gabe and I layed down. When Kal got home we went to the Y. That was a work out.
I was thinking that I was going to write a bunch of stuff tonight but I am really just too tired. I will try tomorrow.
Things never end
So our weekend was really busy. We went to Kal's moms house on Friday to work on some of the remodeling that we have been helping her with. We didn't do much that night but then Kal and I got to go see a movie. We saw Taken. That was good. It was nice to get out. We got up early on Saturday morning and started on her bathroom in her room. We needed to remove the wallpaper and a mirror and a light. Paint the wall behind the mirror and light and put it back up. All the wallpaper is not removed.

Going out of town!!
I am getting ready to go out of town for the weekend. I am so very excited about this. It is a Women's retreat with my church. I have never been on one before so I can not wait.
Today I had conferences with my girls teachers. I am happy to report that they are doing fantastic. Lilly is all A's...which is no surprise. Sadie is 3 B's and 2 A's...Fantastic. I am so proud of both of them. They work very hard and it shows.
Gabe went with and he ended up in the art room with the girls and painted his first picture. It is super cute and I can not wait to take it home. I figured that wet paint and 3 children in a clean van were not a good thing to mix. So we will pick it up on Tuesday.
Right now I am listening to the stupid books that make noise because Sadie feels like that is a better way to spend her time than cleaning up her messes. Gabe is running around and Lilly is being a bit bossy today...or everyday. I have already taken some Motrin and I REALLY would like for that to kick in.
Last night we went to the YMCA. Kal needs to go as much as possible and it really wouldn't hurt my big butt to get on the treadmill. When the girls were done with their class (sparks) we went out to the car and he had put roses on my steering wheel...so sweet. So I came home and cut them and put them in water and have been smelling them all day today.
Well that is it until Sunday night or Monday because I have to go!

First Post
I have tried several times over the last few years to start a blog and some how they always end up getting lost in my life. Things are always so crazy and my time to myself gets put on the back burner. So I think that is what I am going to do during naptime. I am going to blog...even though I really can not stand that word...blog.
A little about me: My name is Becca. I live in Suffolk, VA with my wonderful husband Kally. Today is actually our anniversary and we have been married for 8 years! I have 3 children. Sadie is 9, Lilly is 7 and Gabriel is 3. They are wonderful children. They are well behaved and know and understand what the word no is unlike some of the little brats I have met during my life. I am a full time stay at home mom. I really do enjoy it and the only thing that would make it better is if I got paid to do it. Sadly the bank will not take "Thank you", "I love you", "You are the best mommy" and "I am glad that you do not have to work" as a form of payment for anything. I was having a hard day one day and I asked my girls is I could please be fired and they replied "No, because we could never get another nice mommy". Although it made me happy that they think that I am so great I really wished that they could have given me one day. I love to sew and crochet. I have tried several times with help from a good friend to sell things online. It becomes difficult and stressful. I hate the fact that I might have ruined a friendship over a business. It was not worth it to me. I would much rather have my friend than a business. Money will never buy me the friend that I had in her. So for now I am done with the selling of things. I want to make things because I want to make them. In the end if I sell them for a little more than I made them for I will be happy. I am no longer going to make anything for the purpose of selling it. I am going to make it because I want to...I then I do not want to keep it I will sell it. Who knows though. I have rarely touched my machine in 3 months!
Kally works very hard to support our family so that I have to option to stay home. He is in the computer field and works at our local community college. He actually just went back this week (Thank God for that) as he has been off work since the week before Thanksgiving. On December 4th, 2008 he went in for Spinal Fusion. There is no way to describe the horrible feeling that you get when your best friend and husband has to have a major operation. I was just so torn up about it. I knew that this was the best option because how he had been living in such pain was not a good life. The sadness on his face because he was unable to get on the floor and play with the kids just broke my heart. Thankfully everything went great and he is progressing to where he will be able to do that soon.
Sadie is our oldest daughter. She is such a great child. I feel really blessed to have had such a wonderful child as my first. I was 18 and all alone when I had her. She doesn't know her birthfather and as far as I remember him that is not a bad thing. She has emailed him a few times over the last few years and has spoke to him on the phone. We are going to start an adoption fund so that Kally can adopt her. I think that is something that we all need in order to put all that behind us. Kally is the ONLY daddy that she has ever known and he is so wonderful to her. I do not think that there has ever been a time that either of them as wish for the other one to go away. They fit together and I can not wait until the day when she has his last name.
Lilly is our middle child. She is our sponge. She is so excited to share everything that she has learned everyday. She is in the gifted class at school and ASKS for extra homework. She just really loves to learn. Now that she is going to be 8 this summer she thinks that it is ok to stomp away from me if she doesn't like what I have to say to her. She has the hardest step and sounds like a heard of elephants everytime. One day I am sure that she will stop but now that is her way of dealing with her ever so hard life of having to clean her bedroom. She has a guitar that she is excited about and loves to write songs about her love for God. She is a very talented girl and I know one day I will see her name in lights!
Gabriel is the boy. One and Only in this family (other than daddy). He is going to be 4 next month. I can now say that a 3 year old boy and a 3 year old girl are COMPLETELY different and not just because they have different "parts". I call Gabe "Distructo". I ruins EVERYTHING that he has. He loves matchbox cars. Within a day he will break it, he is so rough. He is all about limos right now. It took us about 2 months to find one. It was $10. I thought that he would be so excited about getting it and he was. About 6 hours later the stinking thing was gutted on the inside and one of the doors will not close all the way. He still loves is and takes it everywhere.
That is my family in a nutshell.
