Getting Good!!!

So it has taken me almost 7 years.... But I think I finally got the Hang of it...
So let me start of by saying it has been a rough week. Between work, Dance, Homework & looking at houses.. It has been really hard to get a good nights sleep...
So evidently this morning my alarm went off and I immediately turned it off!
I woke up at 7am (BTW I have to be at work by 8am) (also BTW I have to get grace ready and dropped off at daycare)
We made a world record this morning.. We were both ready, lunch packed, show & tell packed for Grace and dropped off at her Daycare at 7:22am! I made it too work by 7:30. I had plenty of time to finish my makeup!
Man oh Man I am getting good.......

Have a great weekend!!!!

Offer....

So we made an offer last night on this house. As much as I am trying not to get my hopes up, but I think it is too late for that!!!! We will find out on Monday if they accept our offer or if they will counter back to us. We are working with a great realtor. He has helped us out so much. I am very grateful for him. I will keep you posted on our offer.. Please keep your fingers crossed for us...

Haircut......

So She begged & begged & begged him to let her get her hair cut.. He Finally Gave in!!!! She looks so much older.. Hard to believe she graduates Kindergarten in the next couple of weeks... My Baby is growing up...... Let me know what you think of her new Haircut!!!!

The Adventure of the Yellow Bus & Gracie

So where do I begin.... Let me begin with saying that a constant battle I have with my ever so "independent" Daughter is going to bed every night at a reasonable hour. Now lets remember she is only 6 years old!! I am sure all of you out there reading this will agree that bedtime for a 6 year old should be 8:30 -9:00PM at the latest, Right!!! Well Gracie has a way of finding reasons to get up in the middle of the night every single time she goes to bed. She normally stays up till 10PM or 10:30 PM. Trying to get her up & ready in the morning is literally like pulling teeth but not as fun!!

So yesterday she got on the bus at her School to ride to Daycare and Evidently she fell asleep on the bus. Chad got a call from the Daycare and was told "Gracie didn't get off the school bus and we called the school and she is not there, We don't know where she is!" Chad got up from his meeting without saying a word and headed to her school. He got there and there was no sign of grace anywhere so he headed to the Daycare. The Daycare called Chad and told him she had fallen asleep on the bus and the bus driver had finished his route and was heading back to the Bus barn when Grace woke up! The Bus Driver had to take her all the way back to her Daycare.

I asked was she scared and she said "No I just woke up and thought the bus driver turned the wrong way, So I asked him if he already went to my Daycare and he said yes!"

How lucky we are that she woke up before he dropped the bus off!

Anyhow guess what her new Bed time is???

7:30-8:00PM I woke her up this morning and she kept saying How good she slept. I don't think she will be taking anymore naps on the bus!!!

About Time!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know I know what a horrible blogger I am... For those of you who have emailed me to remind me how "lazy" I have been Thank you for getting me back on track.

Bend Oregon is great! I love it here. Of course I miss all of my friends.

I am still currently in training for work.. It seems like I have been in training forever, but there is so much to learn. Unlike some training I have been in the past this is definitely a positive experience.

We close on our house in Utah today. Please keep your fingers crossed that everything goes through nice & smooth... We made another offer on a home here in Bend. It is a cute house with a beautiful landscaped yard. We should here back by tomorrow on the offer...

Last weekend I participated in a "Day of Caring" sponsored by United way. We did some landscaping for a place called "Grandma's House". Grandma's House is a faith based, non-denominational, non-profit home, and outreach ministry, providing safe, nurturing, and stable shelter to homeless and/or abused pregnant, and parenting teens mothers between the ages of 12 to 19 years old and their babies. It was a great opportunity to help others. When our lives seem so chaotic and uncertain this really made me appreciate all of the Blessings in my life.

I hope all of my friends & family are doing well. I miss all of you very much.. I hope to hear from you soon...
