This is tough

Well, I thought that it would be a fairly easy transition moving from Elizabeth City to Greenville but, boy was I wrong. Shannon has been commuting back and forth and staying with friends in Greenville at least two sometimes three nights a week. I think this is the toughest part right now, trying to handle all three of the kids and I am still not feeling all that great.

We are having a difficult time trying to find a house that is a big as we need for our family but within our price range. Shannon thinks he found on but it is in Wilson, which is another 30 minutes from home. It does have four bedrooms which is the main thing I am looking for in a house.

I am really starting to get nervous about moving. I have never lived any where but here as far back as I can remember. I am afraid for my kids to have to change schools. I do not want to have to pack everything up and unpack it. I really hate moving and when you get down to the bottom line this is tough on all of us. I keep my faith in the Lord because he gives me the strength to get through it all.

I Quit!!!

Well, I tried to take Shannon up on his advice and quit my job. Not that I work all that much but it does take some of my time away from what I need to be doing as a mom and wife. I told my boss that I would work through the end of April but that wasn't good enough. He advised me to take a few months off (because I work part-time it is not that big of a deal) and when things settle down to let him know and he would start sending work my way.

I thought about this idea for a long time as I don't know when my life is gonna settle down, if it ever will. In the end I decided to take his advise and told him to give me at least until we get to Greenville. My problem lies that I don't make a fortune so paying someone to watch the kids is tough. Some weeks I might make $200 and other weeks I might only make $50. This week I didn't make anything but didn't work but about an hour on the ride home from Greenville (I didn't bill for it). I have someone that would watch the girls for me but I am still preplexed as to if it is going to be worth while.

We are still looking for a house in Greenville and will keep up posted as to when we find one but for know your thoughts on the subject of work would be great. Maybe someone else's wisdom could help enhance mine...LOL! Gotta get ready to go to church and get the kids dressed. We are trying to potty train Makayla so she is usually naked when we get ready to leave the house.

Trying to get into the purple and gold spirit, nice touch, huh?

Do they have an energy pill that is safe for the pregnant women of the world??

I think I really need some more energy. Everybody keeps telling me that at 13 weeks I will get my energy back but I will be 13 weeks tomorrow and am still totally drained.

Anybody with any ideas on how to actually get me off the couch, I am open for suggestions. I have all of the good intentions when I get up in the morning but they all crumble by about noon time and by 2 I am struggling to get a shower. I need to get my house cleaned and the weeds pulled out of the flower beds but I don't feel like doing a single thing...LOL!

PS They also need to make liposuction of belly fat mandatory after having the third and consecutive children.....LOL:)
