My poor baby woke me up at 4:00am "Mommy I don't feel good" and crying. Poor kiddo has a fever of 102.2 and was so very hot. Thank the Lord today is daddy's day off because I have a ton of stuff to do here at work. The upside of being woke up at 4am is that I got to work about a quarter to 6! So I have gotten alot done this morning w/ no interuptions. I really am such a morning person. I think clearer and am more motivated! (of course it could be the coffee).
We went to dinner last night at Aculpulco (sp) for my sisters birthday. I love my daddy! He's so amazing and sweet and he's the most amazing artist! He's built me a kitchen island and this thing is gorgeous! I can't believe it! Plus he paints and anything you need fixed he can fix it. He has a heart of gold and he loves his girls! He's the best ever! I am so lucky and I know it!
I had a rockin' work out yesterday. And I feel it today. Actually all my workouts this week have been fantastic. I'll tell ya' I lost 6 lbs and now I am really motivated to keep it up! I'm lifting heavier weights and I feel like such a stud! HAHAHAHAHAHA! No seriously, it's funny, when I'm in the gym lifting weights, I really feel like I can accomplish anything. It gives such a sense of strength not just physical but emotional too. Like I can do anything I want to do - girl or not! I have discovered that I love lifting and I love running. I think these things have become my get away. I would love to be able to spend an hour lifting, an hour running and a 1/2 hour in the sauna. But I don't have that kind of time. But imagine how fit I'd be if I could! ha!
So, that's what's going on in my life. The weather has turned cold and rainy but I look around and all the fields are this bright green, I mean really green. It's so awesome to see everything come to life that even the rain can't depress me now! Tuesday was so fabulous I ran in the house, threw on shorts and t-shirt and hit the deck and sat in the sun, eyes closed and baked. AAhhh, I love to feel the sun soak through my skin (and all the cynics are saying, aaahh, you love to feel the skin cancer eat you up). I use a 40spf sunscreen when I'm going to be in the sun during the summer, and I still get a great tan with that.
Okay, so now I'm rambling. Oh! I have been invited to set up at a business expo in Cincinnatti I hope I can get alot of business from that and also will be at a crop on the 21st. Same one Kris was at last month. Business is looking up! YEAH!

Goooooooo mooooooorning everybody!!!! It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, a beautiful day in the neighborhood, won't you be my neigh-bor? (ok, if you don't have Mr. Rodgers you so don't get that goofy little song I just sang for ya). It's a balmy 62 dEgrees outside and ladies and gents it's makes me feel sooooooooooo good! Yes, I am in a wonderful mood for a Monday morning. I've got coffee in me and the sunshine is coming up and I had a great weekend!
Friday- the Frog walk. What an amazing experience. I thought of you Neicey. So, get this, it was like being at a rock concert where the bass literally rattles the insides of your ears! No really, I am serious. The frogs (all boy frogs looking for girlfriends) were so loud and so many that it really hurt your ears! It was the most amazing thing. It was muddy and mucky and so much fun! We got a ton of frogs and let the kids touch them and see them and then let them go again. The boys (Tucker and his friend) really enjoyed it and were so well behaved I couldn't believe it! I had laid towels on the seats and garbage bags in the floors so my car wouldn't get all muddy and good darn thing because we were knee deep in it! So, we got home and stripped 'em down in the garage and they went in and put jammies on and I gave 'em a snack and they were out by 10:30! They got up at 7am Sat morning and I cleaned house. I met Kris to get an order of mine (that she so wonderfully ran around to get for me because she's the kindest person you'll ever meet thanks girl)! We sat in the sunshine and I even got a little burn on my cheeks from it! WOW - I feel the vitamin K coursing through my veins! LOL! I had a pleasant all though too short visit with Kris and then took the boys back home to play outside for awhile. Took Tucker's friend home about 4 and finished up laundry. Tucker and I took a walk about 6:30 and enjoyed the rest of the evening. I got some awesome scrapbook pages done for my demo book thanks to Kris getting my order to me. I did some embossing and chalking and it all turned out really cool. My husband got a kick out of me being all excited like a kid... hey look at my artwork... hehehe! Sunday, we had church, ate pizza there and did costume fittings, and had play practice until 4:00. Again, Tucker was so good it was unbelievable! What a long time for a 6yr old boy to be inside! They play is next Sat and Sun and I really am praying that Lord fills the church pews and that they come in droves to the alter. I'll tell ya' the drama is that good! We have some fabulous talent at our church (which isn't very big) big powerhouse voices. It's very exciting.
Then I washed my car (so my husband would quit nagging me about it) :-) and it looks marvelous! (not).
So that was my weekend play by play.
OH! The ENT! He gave me loads of meds. Steroids, nose sprays (did I tell you this already?) Oh well... I'm saying it again... lol! He thinks it's allergies. I went Friday morning and had a CT scan done of my sinus and I go back to him on the 24th. So until then I don't know anything more except that the meds have opened me up and I can breath! Although, this steroid is a nasty nasty medication! I'm sleepy, a bit quick to temper, and dizzy!
But it's almost gone... I'll be fine!
LOVE YA ALL!!!

POST 100!! WOW!! I'm a big mouth apparently! HAPPY FRIDAY!!
So, as you all know, I've suffered for the past 6mths with sinus infections. Well, again I have another and this time I went to an ear nose throat Dr. I give up on my family Dr. I do not want another antibiotic! So, this Dr says I am swollen shut on the left side of my nose and not far behind on the left. Gave me 2 nose sprays to use and prenidsone (sp) and claritin-D all together to get the swelling down and dry me up. He did say he thinks it looks more like allergies and is not an infection yet. I went for a CT-scan this morning of my sinus and I go back to his office April 24th and he'll look at the scan then and we'll decide whats next. Why do I think I see allergy shots in my future? Oh I hope not!
So, we went to Frishe's Big Boy (like Shoney's for the southern folk) for dinner last night. It's Tucker's favorite for some strange reason and I am SO NOT a fan! I had a bowl of veg. soup and a pot of decaf coffee. What's the point in eating if I can't taste it anways right?! LOL!
I embossed a couple of things for a new scrapbook page I'm doing. I'm going to love embossing - it turns out really neat! I also chalked a couple of stamps and it looks like a watercolor painting... so cool!
Tonight Tucker is having a friend stay the night and we are going to a local state park on a frog walk at night. We're going to find frog eggs, tadpoles and sit and listen to the frogs. I was excited about the trip originally - but its raining and not going to stop. OH JOY! This is a trip through the school. One of the teachers' husband's is a ranger there so he's going to be our guide. I know Tucker is excited about having a friend stay the night. This little boy is very sweet and quiet UNTIL you get him and Tucker together... this ought to be interesting!
Wish me luck! haha!
Other than that this weekend should be peaceful. I plan to rest ALOT! :-)
Hope you all have fabulous weekends... make sure to get some peace somewhere somehow!

I had such a great time last night! My upline Carol came over last night and we went through the website and order forms and some product and she answered some questions I had. We discussed my upcoming Jumps Start party and what we want to do. Then she showed me some great techniques (is that how you spell that?). We embossed clear and white and chalked some. How the beautiful artwork I can create with this stuff is going to be sooooooo fun!
I won't make a cent off of this because I'll spend it all!!! :-)
I can't wait until I have some stock so I can give prizes and gifts to my customers for incentives.
YEAH!
I can't wait to hold my first workshop!
Okay, so other than that I didn't do anything. That was my night, I didn't get to bed until after 10 (I usually am in bed NO LATER THAN 9) and had to get up at 4:30 this morning! I am exhausted after having been to the gym pushing weights everyday this week. I woke up feeling congested and a sore throat and I went to the gym anyways! That 5lb loss has totally motivated me! So, now I'm tired and I am so ready for bed.
I have a feeling I'm going to have to call the ENT Dr. because this is getting worse throughout the day and I REFUSE to be put on antibiotics yet again!
I am having a good day though, don't feel so well, but am in a great mood and am happy to be here and I am SO happy that tonight is my hubby's night off because I miss him like mad!
I do hope you are having a blessed day.
Oh here's something funny I got today... and I don't really believe in horoscopes but this was really funny... and oh so true (ONLY KIDDING)

Holla!!!!!!!!!! How's everyone?
I'm fine. Things here at work are busy so I didn't get to post yesterday.
My weekend went really well.
Friday night, my husband went to spend time with his parents while I did the scrapbook thing at my house. We had so much fun! Tucker and Liza (my new sitter) sat at a table and did foam animal masks and magnets. He really enjoyed that and us old people sat at the table and scrapped. The CM consultant that was there is already saying... I should deactivate and sign up to sell this stuff (yeah). She already has everything CM and wants some new stuff and really loved the stamps and stamping and the quality of CTMH products. How impressed with me would the company be to not even have my first party and already have a downline? Hehe!
And CTMH quotas are less. (hint hint Kris). hahahahaha!
So, all went well and my husband relaxed over the house and realized he was having an OCD moment and all was peaceful! Praise God!
Saturday we went to the grocery together. My back has really been hurting and so I need Tim's help. I can't push the cart when my back hurts this bad. I'm doing good to walk. But I am starting to feel better.
Sunday was church, then Burger King (Tucker earned it) then play practice at church, then home to fold laundry and then bath time and bed time! Desperate housewives was a re-run so I didn't have to stay up to watch it! It's about the only show I watch on TV, that and Ellen.
Last night, Tucker and I played together and we each curled up in his bed under a blanket and each read books (me my CTMH manual) and he read little books that he's learned to read. It's so awesome to see your child sit there and sound out words and read a book. My heart was melting! The TV never even got turned on last night. I love those nights! We've had several of them lately.
OH! I did weigh myself yesterday, I figured it's Monday, it's raining I might as well be totally depressed... well... I lost 5 lbs!!!!! I couldn't believe my eyes! I was totally excited! So I was in a good mood all day.
That good mood wore me out though, we went to be at 8:00!!!!!!! Yep 8pm! Tucker and I were in our beds and on our way to lala land! And I still didn't want to get up this morning...weird!
Not sure why I am so drained.
Well, it's Tuesday 1 down 4 to go!
My upline Carolyn is coming over to go over some of my questions and sort through stuff with me. I am so excited to get this show on the road... I'm ready to start selling!
I'll share something else with ya'. God has really been talking to me lately. It's awesome and it fills me with great joy but when it's about yourself and things that you need to change it sure is hard to hear but God has a way of preparing your heart for it first. It's something I can't explain. (except to say it's a God thing).
There are as you all know, marriage issues but Sunday at church, He just gave me such a peace about it all, told me what to change (attitude) and how to handle conflict, He asked me, is proving my point to my husband about the cross? Is yelling at my husband about the cross? No its not and everything I do should be about the cross. It should be for the Lord. He's truly blessing me with friends (which I was in desperate need of) and things to occupy my time so I won't be lonely when my husband is at work, and now this CTMH opportunity, he's changed my personality and changed me into the old Holli, the fun Holli. The happy, bubbly, outgoing me.
He has dealt (and is dealing) with my anxiety and social issues. He's so good and is so awesome!
And I am so glad that I am hearing Him and being obedient to Him! I just want to do His will and He totally gave me peace about my marriage, about my family and about our future and He is so good!
Well, I'll end this post on that! PRAISE THE LORD FOR HIS GLORY!!
Col 3:17 - look it up!

My upline Carolyn is coming over to go over some of my questions and sort through stuff with me. I am so excited to get this show on the road... I'm ready to start selling!
I'll share something else with ya'. God has really been talking to me lately. It's awesome and it fills me with great joy but when it's about yourself and things that you need to change it sure is hard to hear but God has a way of preparing your heart for it first. It's something I can't explain. (except to say it's a God thing).
There are as you all know, marriage issues but Sunday at church, He just gave me such a peace about it all, told me what to change (attitude) and how to handle conflict, He asked me, is proving my point to my husband about the cross? Is yelling at my husband about the cross? No its not and everything I do should be about the cross. It should be for the Lord. He's truly blessing me with friends (which I was in desperate need of) and things to occupy my time so I won't be lonely when my husband is at work, and now this CTMH opportunity, he's changed my personality and changed me into the old Holli, the fun Holli. The happy, bubbly, outgoing me.
He has dealt (and is dealing) with my anxiety and social issues. He's so good and is so awesome!
And I am so glad that I am hearing Him and being obedient to Him! I just want to do His will and He totally gave me peace about my marriage, about my family and about our future and He is so good!
Well, I'll end this post on that! PRAISE THE LORD FOR HIS GLORY!!
Col 3:17 - look it up!

IT'S FRIDAY IT'S FRIDAY AND I'M LEAVING WORK AT 2:00 YEAH YEAH YEAH!!!!
Of course I got in here at 6am which means I've been up since 4:30am. Not so yeah, but I'll be feeling good at 2 when I walk out of these doors for the weekend.
I've got to get my house picked up and an extra table set up for tonight. I want to bake a cake and go to the store and get something to drink and some dip for chips. Nothing special, very informal. We stopped at Michaels craft store last night after Chuck E Cheese and I bought Tucker a kit that he can make these foam animal masks. So I thought the kids could do that while us ladies scrap. I also get to show off some of my new tools and get them good and curious! hehehe!
Neice- my church has lots of these IBGs, there is golf, motorcycle, sewing, scrapping, bible study, a singles group and my church is a small to medium sized church. Once you find a new home church this might be a good thing for you to bring to the table...it's really a great way to get to know people.
So, I guess basically it'll be a monthly crop and I'm excited!
Chuck E Cheese was a blast. Tucker was sooooo good and he had a ball! He got his little prizes w/ his tickets and after about an hour and a half he was ready to go home! I couldn't believe it, i was prepared for the battle of getting him out of there!
So... on the way home.... (ah you knew the whole post couldn't be upbeat right?!)
So, I told you all I am going off the pill. (yeah for me) however... the husband is not thrilled. He doesn't want anymore kids (so he says) when we first got together however he did. I would never ever ever have even glanced his way if he didn't want kids. So about 2-3 months ago he point blank asked me - so it's a baby or divorce and I said yes that it wasn't an option for me. That I had given up enough of my dreams for him and this was not going to be one of them. Well he never said anything after that, we never argued about it again and obviously we're not divorced so... I thought he was on the upswing w/ this idea. Well last night he let me know that he is not, will not have kids. Well... then I guess you're out the door... I'm not going back on the pill so I guess he and I won't be having sex. I don't know! I honestly think it has to do with the fact that he has a SUPPOSED daughter out there that he has nothing to do with (not of his own doing) and he'll feel guilty taking care of one and not the other. He resents me (he let me know last night) because I won't LET him see his daughter. I said Tim she has blue eyes and red hair... the odds genetically that she is yours is slim. He swears she's his kid. If he really and I mean because he loved her not out of guilt really wanted to see her, he'd be doing everything possible to get to her. You know what I mean? I mean if I had a kid that wasn't in my life... I'd call the mother and say look its like this... you do the paternity test this way OR I'll gladly go to a lawyer and we can do it through court and I'll pay child support and you'll be forced into visitation. I would think that he would WANT to take care of his own kid if she's that important to him. I really think he's operating out of guilt and not of love. But anywho... I told him I'm going to have a baby one way or the other. With or without you. I had Tucker alone I can have another one alone. No one got up in the middle of the night to help me, no one fed him for me, no one changed him, no one gave him baths at night time. I don't expect your help. I just expect your 'deposit' and then you can be gone... whatever. He is so in his own world...he's so selfish. He had a fit when he found out I was having the scrapbook stuff at our house. Sorry, but I am a hostess, I love to open my home to others and that's what I'm going to do and he needs to find another wife that is weird like him!

Well, what is there to talk about... the weather has turned cold again and so very bone biting windy! YUCK! I can't believe just two days ago I was outside w/o a coat on!
Inventory is going well, not as well as I'd like but I think I'll be done by April 1. I'm trying to get things ready for my party on the 7th. I think that's what I'll work on at my house Friday. OH! Did I tell you I'm having a monthly crop at my house? Apparently I forgot to tell my husband too (big oops) boy was he upset. Well, it's on the 3rd Friday of every month (from now until June I think). It's an interest based group (IBG). It's a way to get your non-christian friends to meet your christian friends by using a common ground. I'm excited and hope to be a blessing to someone! You should check out my church website www.wilmingtonag.org if you go to the photo gallery Tucker and I are the first photo that comes up... ooooohhh he's so stinking cute!
Most of the other photos are really old. They don't have the new missionettes teacher up yet and alot of the IBGs aren't listed yet although I asked them to post mine but don't know if they'll get to it.
Anyways... oh here's some news... I'm going off the pill. Figured I'm 35 and 35 and 1/2 in June so if I'm going to do this - it's now or never. So... wish me luck and I hope I have fun in the process... hehehehehehe!!!
We're taking TK to Chuck-E-Cheese tonight. I hope we have a good time. I'm hoping a Thursday night won't be busy!
So... that's my life for the moment... hope you are having a good week. I am so glad tomorrow is Friday!!!

OH!!! It is SOOOOOOOOOO beautiful out today... it's gotta be getting close to 65! And the sun feels so good! I kept singing Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy!! You gotta love John Denver! I was out doing inventory and am SO glad I got to get out in it. Yesterday after work Tucker and I played some basketball and I watched him and the neighborhood kids play in the yard. It's so nice!
I got my CTMH kit last night. I was so excited! I went through all the stuff in there and was way overwhelmed but way excited. The party went well Friday. I got to help alot and learned a ton about the products. Heard lots of questions which I hope to remember the answers too! :-)
So... I'm anxious to get started!
Going for an extended lunch today. A girl here is having a babyshower at this GREAT pizza place. Buffet style pizza and salad! Can't wait! And the mom-to-be is the sweetest girl ever and this is her first. She has been the most pleasant pregnant girl ever she has truly enjoyed every moment ache and pain. I am truly happy for her. (and jealous because I want a little one again).
But a happy for her jealous not a bad jealous (just thought I'd clarify that)!
Tonight I'm going to play ball with my kid again... maybe I can talk him to taking a walk with me. It's supposed to be 72 today and WOW I can't wait. Of course we'll all be sick as dogs next week as its supposed SNOW Friday and Saturday. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!
But I'm going to get out and enjoy it while I can. Thursday Tim and I are going to take Tucker to Chuck E Cheese. Tucker is sooooo excited. He earned the trip with his behavior/chore chart. He's really doing very well lately! (now I've jinxed us). HAHA
I need to come up with some REALLY super awesome recipes for my party. I want to blow everyone's socks off with my creativity! LOL! So, if anyone has any super (and super easy) appetizer recipes... please post them in my comments!
THANKS!
And have I told you how good God is?! He's pouring out the blessings on me and I am thrilled!

Oh happy Friday!! It's finally here!!!
I went to this great sub place for lunch today... my friend and I got this booth right in the sun! Oh we could've sat there for hours!! It was so amazing to sit and bask and be warm!
It's beautiful today... makes me want to pull a Julie Andrews (you S of M fans will know what I'm talking about).
I go to my first Close To My Heart party tonight. I'm going to watch my upline/sponsor give a party so I learn how to give a party. I'm excited but now am starting to get nervous. The self doubt is starting to kick in. You know the, Oh I don't know enough people, and I'm not good enough to stand in front of people, I'm not crafty enough to give workshops on how to make something, or the I don't want to bother anyone or want them to feel obligated stuff. I know those thoughts aren't from God. God put this opportunity in front of me and everything fell into place and I know that it will be succesful as long as I use according to God's plan for it!
So, I'm going to take a deep breath now and when I blow it out I will visualize the butterfllies in my stomach blowing out with it. Don't ask me why I have butterflies because tonights party I'll just be another guest! Imagine how scared I'll be at my first party! (which I'm planning now Kris - hint hint)! :-)
I don't really have much other planned. Coloring moms hair and her coloring mine Saturday afternoon that's it. I do hope that the weather holds out - although it's supposed to rain... but better than snow! I do hope you enjoy your weekend - get plenty of rest and relaxtion!

Good Tuesday morning blogger world.
I am so very busy at work the next couple of weeks. It's time for annual inventory so I won't be around my desk much.
Real quick before I gotta go - You have to see and I do mean HAVE to see the movie Wildhogs.
OMG!!! I laughed through the whole movie - I even snorted - in public!
It was so very funny and I would pay to see it again. I saw a little of Vinnie Barbarino in there (from Welcome back Cotter for you young folk) which I was hoping to see! I don't recall any foul language in it... one butt scene but nothing the kids can't see. It's got to be in my new top 5.
My hubby and I went on a date Friday (which the dealings with him were HORRIBLE) but I didn't let it ruin my dinner at a new Mediteranean Cafe we have in town - it was very good and again the movie was funny. I found a new sitter - and she worked out fantastic!
I won't go into the gory detail of my horrid date w/ my husband (our first alone date in who knows how long and he ruined it) but he did apologize and is trying to make up for it.
So... I guess all in all it was a great night. Peaceful weekend other than that.
This is going to be a busy week with work, church, taxes, a Close to my heart show (going to my 1st show to learn how to sell it) hair appts on Saturday, church and play practice Sunday... oh my... I'm going to need to take next Monday off to rest! LOL!
Oh well, if I'm busy then I can't sit around and feel lonely or depressed! SO I'll praise God that I'm busy and that He's filling my life with great things!
If you are a praying person please pray for my friend Pat. Her family is really going through the toughest of all times and I know she feels so out of control. Please pray that God will meet their needs and He knows what their needs are.
Thank you!
