belated goodbye

noreply@blogger.com (Messy Mommy) — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 03:43:00 +0000

Ya, so I've been gone for awhile, but I thought if anyone still cared I should offer an official farewell. I love blogging, I love the bloggy friends I met, the moms I related to, the relationships formed, but I'll be honest....It was an addiction. An addiction that was taking away from my family. If you've read my blog at all, you know I don't manage my time well. I am a full-time teacher and mother, and I wasn't giving my kids the attention they deserved. Ya, I miss it sometimes, but I hands down made the right decision to prioritize and make a cut. Kudos to you awesome moms who manage your time so well. I'm not one of them. Never have been. And sorry to say most likely never will be. Farewell bloggy friends. Jesus if the way, the truth, and the life, and I look forward to meeting you in heaven some day. :)

Okay sometimes you have to quit something to make you realize what you had. I'M NOT READY! I can't just quit. No, I'm not around much, but I can make it better! So scratch the last post, I'm not going to quit blogging completely, I just can't.

Now that we have that out of the way. I need to vent. This is our first month on Dave Ramsey's Total Money Makeover, and I totally excited. For meal planning I bought a 3-month-subscription to e-mealz.com. We got the low-carb plan. I just went to the store and spent NINETY-THREE DOLLARS on 4 meals plus a few staples like milk, bread and peanut butter! SERIOUSLY?!? Uh, not exactly in the budget. I was completely disappointed. Hubby thinks we should buy a month's worth of groceries but I can't decide. I spent over an hour at the store and I'm NOT doing that every week!

How do you meal plan?

Oh and more on my total money makeover later.

so long my dear friends

dog dilemma! HELP!

noreply@blogger.com (Messy Mommy) — Sun, 19 Dec 2010 14:51:00 +0000

I need your help. To make a long story shorter, Hubby brought home a 5 month "Heinz 57" dog on Thursday night that he adopted from the shelter. He is thought to be a lab/boxer mix but no one knows for sure. Several people, including a dog trainer and pet store owner think he has pit bull in him.

When Hubby heard that he took the dog back, but we ended up picking him back up later. There's no way to actually prove he's pit without very expensive genetic testing.

He's a very laid back dog! Just lays around and lets the kids just do whatever. He won't play or anything though. This worries me. Is he going to turn on us? He's done absolutely nothing to make us think he could be dangerous, but I just don't know what to do. If we take him back the kids will be devastated. I keep telling myself to give him time to adjust to his new environment, but I just don't know.

WHAT SHOULD I DO????

i miss you

noreply@blogger.com (Messy Mommy) — Sat, 04 Dec 2010 15:21:00 +0000

Oh how I miss you my dear friends. Things will happen throughout the day and I think, "I'm gonna go home and blog about this." BUT DO I? No. My people in review is WAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY behind! When I finally do it it'll be a long one!

Since I last made an appearance Otter turned 7. We had a huge Iron Man party complete with a bounce house and 20 kids! Good times good times.

Today The Baby is one year old. Everyone always says it goes so fast but WHOA, it goes so fast.

As soon as school gets out for Christmas I'm planning a big giveaway and review week so stay tuned for more info on that!

Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Love love love!

Otter's 7th birthday is coming up and he's all into Kung Zhu pets. I informed my mom what he wanted and this is the conversation she had with Otter over the phone.

Mom: Otter, I have a question for you and wondered if I might ask your opinion.

Otter: Sure, Grandma. What’s up?

Mom: Well I’ve been looking at some Zhu pets and I really don’t know what they’re about.

Otter: Oh Grandma, they’re awesome!

Mom: Well I’ve been thinking about how you don’t pick up your toys and how things get lost so fast and how they get broken. Sometimes when you say you really want something, you really don’t care about it when you get it.

Otter: Oh Grandma, you will not believe how responsible I would be. I would build a container at After School Club to keep them in. It would never be a problem. Oh Grandma, I really want the Special Forces . . . . . {and on and on and on} Do you have your computer handy?

Mom: I saw something about a hamster set? Is that what you want?

Otter: Awesome! They’re like little mice. Oh yeah, hamsters. That’s it. And . . . and . . . and . . .something about Ninja . . . and . . . {His description went on and on with intense enthusiasm.}

Otter: And there’s a thing like a house.

Mom: An arena?

Otter: That’s exactly it. How did you know? Did you see it on the computer or in real life? I know that where you live is a long way to drive to Sidney?

Me: Sidney? What’s in Sidney?

Otter: Well that’s where my friend, Gabby, got hers. She thought they were about gone. So I better hang up so you can go to Sidney. Bye. I love you.

Mom: Wait, Otter. I’m not going to Sidney. But I’ll be thinking about whether this is something you’ll take care of.

Otter: Absolutely, Grandma. You can count on me.

Mom: Have a good day at school. Bye. I love you.

Otter: Bye.

Ring . . . .

Mom: Hello.

Otter: Grandma, you hung up before I could tell you something. I think there’s a way that you can get them on the computer. I think it takes money though. I don’t know for sure how it works but somehow you can put money in the computer. Do you want me to ask my mom?

Hahahahahaah! My mom sent me this by email because she thought it was so hilarious. I have to admit I was laughing myself. The last part is my favorite!

I know I'm overdue for a People in Review. It's coming soon!

on the fence with infant baptism

noreply@blogger.com (Messy Mommy) — Thu, 28 Oct 2010 02:30:00 +0000

I was raised Methodist. Hubby was raised Lutheran. Both of these denominations believe in infant baptism. Otter was baptized in the Methodist church.

Hubby and I were married in the Methodist church, but we switched to the Wesleyan church about 6 months into our marriage, not because we didn't want to be Methodist, but because there were so many young families at the Wesleyan and it seemed a better fit for us. It was.

We were blessed with an amazing church family and we loved the church. Hubby made leaps and bounds in his walk with Christ, as did I. It was home.

Now we come to one of the big differences between the churches. Baptism. The Wesleyan church does not believe in infant baptism. They think it should be something children choose when they're old enough to understand. Ok, I get it. Hubby had a 3 hour conversation with the pastor about it which convinced him that this was the way to go. Therefore when Raven was born we did not have her baptized.

The Wesleyan church does dedications instead, which is basically the parents dedicating to raise their child to walk with Christ. Makes sense.

Now we are in a new place, and attending an E-Free/Berean combination, who also does not believe in infant baptism. A church we also love.

But now I'm teaching at a Lutheran school, which made me question our beliefs of baptism. Lutherans believe that baptism is not about us choosing God, but about God choosing us, that it's God's work in us, not our work in God. Ok, that makes sense to me too.

So now what??????

Hubby and I have both been baptized twice, as infants and as adults. Our church acknowledges our adult baptism, the Lutheran church acknowledges our first baptism.

Neither of the girls have been baptized or dedicated. We're planning a dedication in December, but I would really like them baptized, as would our Lutheran and Methodist families. But Hubby's not budging.

Now let me make myself clear. I do NOT believe my girls are going to hell because they aren't baptized, and neither does the Lutheran or Methodist churches. I do NOT believe the Holy Spirit is not in my girls because they haven't been baptized. God loves us all.

Can't we all just love Jesus without the different beliefs? It's so confusing. I feel torn between my two church families and I don't like it.

I'd really appreciate hearing your views on the subject. Do you believe in infant baptism? Why or why not?

I was pretty excited when asked to do a review for CSN Stores. My giveaway for them a while back was a great success and we are enjoying the bookshelf we purchased.

Now that I have a job and some extra money I'm trying to convince Hubby to redecorate....ahem.....decorate our house. We've lived here for a year and there's still nothing on the walls in our living room except for the kids' pictures. It's pathetic. And since we're on the subject of redecorating, is this ottoman coffee table cute or what?!?

I know.

So stay tuned for my upcoming review. If I don't get something for the house I'm thinking about getting some rain boots. Been wanting some forever. Do you like these or these?

A 3 DAY WEEKEND! Woohoo! I survived my first parent teacher conferences this week. I have been blessed with 11 marvelous students. Otter and I have made strides in our teacher/student relationship which makes life much easier.

The girls love their daycare provider and so do I.

Life is practically perfect. {Just add a maid and personal chef and we'd be good to go.}

My dad bought Otter the Iron Man 2 movie. We watched it last night. I have to say it was awesome. Tony Stark is hot. If you haven't seen it you must!

Today my bff and her baby are coming to visit. Looking forward to some quality time with them.

I've found a new love for thrift! I've pretty much purchased new wardrobes for everyone in our family, which means 5 times the laundry. I'm working on packing up older clothes to take them to consignment. I figure at thrift prices I can buy a new wardrobe every year. :)

Have a great weekend!

iron man pretty much rocks

noreply@blogger.com (Messy Mommy) — Tue, 28 Sep 2010 01:36:00 +0000

If you're not new around here, you know that Otter is obsessed with all things superhero. I think our costume count is now around 15. And that's just Otter. Raven has all the Disney princess costumes and then some. It's Halloween everyday around here.

Otter's fave is Iron Man. And as soon as he saw the second movie he started begging for an Iron Man 2 costume. He already has the first costume, but apparently the second costume has a triangle instead of a circle. Whatever. Well no way no how was I buying him a brand new costume. Pretty much all others have been gifts and thrifts.

Well wouldn't you know Costume Supercenter contacted me for a review, so OF COURSE I had to get the Light Up Iron Man Mark VI Costume.

You can only imagine Otter's face when he opened it after I pretty much screamed at him to never ask me again if he could have a new Iron Man costume.

He LOVES it! The triangle actually lights up which he thinks is pretty "suh-weet". And it has muscles which was an added bonus as well.

Halloween is upon us folks! Time to find that perfect costume! I was BLOWN AWAY by Costume Supercenter's selection! They have over 1700 new items alone and there is something for EVERYONE! They have a huge selection of boys Halloween costumes and kids costumes. AND DON'T FORGET YOURSELF! It's your once-a-year excuse to play dress up! HURRY!

the teacher's kid

noreply@blogger.com (Messy Mommy) — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 01:56:00 +0000

Otter and I have maintained a good teacher/student relationship. Until today.

He's on an IEP due to "lost time" back when he was having constant seizure activity. He has a difficult time staying on task and it's probably worse with his mom as the teacher.

We had about 5 minutes of free time before our next subject and I told Otter he needed to finish his handwriting from earlier in the day. He complained and I told him he could wait until Ketchup. (Ketchup time = catch up time. Get it?) When Ketchup rolled around he threw a HUGE temper tantrum. Like I don't even see these at home! He pretty much lost it and started bawling and got mad several times until he threw his pencil across the room. He was so upset I had to send him to the office. It was CRAZY!

That's MY kid. The kid ALL the teachers raved about last year. How kind and polite he was. Who is this kid? I want my kid back.

I pray this was a one time occurrence. I really want him in my class and he wants to be in my class as well. But this kind of thing can't happen again.

i wore green sh*t

noreply@blogger.com (Messy Mommy) — Mon, 23 Aug 2010 01:28:00 +0000

The first week of school was absolutely fantabulous! Well except for the girls getting sick but that's a story for another day. The SmartBoard of course acted like a piece of crap but I was able to get through the presentation and the kids LOVED it! We filled out a first day of school questionnaire thingy and almost all the kids said the SmartBoard was their favorite. Okay after recess.

The most {secretly} laughable moment was when we were filling out the questionnaire and one girl wrote "I wore green shit" instead of "green shirt".

Otter was great and it was definitely the right decision to transfer schools. I can already tell this experience is going to strengthen our relationship.

After school on Friday we took off for my hometown to attend the county fair. In my 26 years of life I have NEVER missed a county fair. Crazy right? I was exhausted but the kids had a blast riding rides. I went on a few myself and have discovered that the older I get the weaker my stomach gets!

I spent 4 hours at the school this afternoon getting plans ready for next week. Can't wait until I find a routine for getting things done! I MISS MY BLOGGY BUDS! Hope to see you soon!

keeping God in our schools

noreply@blogger.com (Messy Mommy) — Sun, 15 Aug 2010 03:20:00 +0000

I can't tell you how excited I am to be teaching in a Christian school. After years of searching I feel God has finally led me to my "calling".

In today's schools where prayer is not allowed and where we can't say the Pledge of Allegiance because it has the word God in it, I get to teach our future generation about Jesus, how he saved us, how he loves us! I get to pray with my students.

I'm so excited we've decided to enroll Otter. Although I'm sure it will be very challenging at times to teach him, this is the environment I want for him.

Every morning before school the staff spends time in the word with daily devotions. I'm really looking forward to this. I've never been good at keeping myself accountable to read His Word everyday, and now I can do it as part of my job!

Is the pay great? NO! It's really not even good. Nebraska is one of the lowest paying states in the country for teachers, and my school is quite a bit below that.

But my true reward will be waiting for me in heaven.

coming together

noreply@blogger.com (Messy Mommy) — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 02:58:00 +0000

I finally feel like I'm getting things accomplished at the school! Such a relief. I've spent WAY too much time playing with the SmartBoard program but it's too fun.

We are a small school which means I will be teaching everything, including Music, Art, and P.E. I can't even draw a stick person. And I don't exercise. At all. So ya that'll be interesting.

I've really been enjoying home visits. It's nice to see the kids in their own element. I can already tell it's going to be a GREAT year!

blogging shouldn't be a chore

noreply@blogger.com (Messy Mommy) — Tue, 10 Aug 2010 03:11:00 +0000

Well clearly I've missed Movie Monday again. I've decided to put it on the back burner for now. I want blogging be an outlet and it's becoming more of a chore. Therefore I'm not committing myself to any memes for the time being.

The girls did great at their first day of daycare. We're doing half days this week. I'm doing home visits for my students this week and we'll start school next Wednesday. I had Smart Board training today and can't believe how awesome the technology is!

I feel like I have a zillion things to do before school starts. I haven't even started to think about lesson plans for the first week. Thankfully I have a good support system but I'm feeling overwhelmed.

Our weekend getaway was AMAZING! I needed it so so badly! I'll be honest and admit I didn't even miss my kids. ;)

Have a fabulous week!

Have some funny google searches leading to your blog? Google Me is this Sunday. Click here to learn more. On Monday I will be reviewing Valentine's Day for Movie Monday! Join me with your movie reviews! People in Review will be up tomorrow.

Ya know that weekend getaway I planned? Well I kinda didn't check my calendar and that's school cleaning weekend. Oops. Not a good way to start off the school year but I'm not cancelling the trip.

I took all 3 kids to Wal-Mart (which is 50 miles away) on Monday to buy school supplies and I about lost my mind. It was an all day excursion.

When I posted about my Wal-Mart trip on Facebook, someone reprimanded me for not shopping at home and supporting our economy. My blood boiled for a good 12 hours as I usually do most of my shopping at home but I have a school budget for school supplies and I wanted to get the best deal. I felt the comment was EXTREMELY unneccesary.

I've been working on getting The Baby on a schedule for daycare. Easier than I expected.

I traded my single Medela Swing for my friend's double Ameda Purely Yours thinking it would save me some pumping time. WRONG! I will be getting my Medela back!

There's a woman in my area getting Zumba certified. FINALLY!!!! Thanks Vicki! (Vicki's a stalker and she found my secret blog.) Tee hee, just kidding Vicki....kinda. ;)

I've lost a few followers lately. That could be contributed to the fact that I've been slacking this summer with the posts. I'm trying to be better.

We're headed to the in-laws tonight for their county fair and then spending the weekend at the lake with my family. Pretty sure we've only been home one weekend this entire summer.

Have a great weekend!

After over a year of NO alone time with my husband, I've planned a weekend getaway for next weekend!

Things have been tough lately. In the last year, we've moved twice, had a baby, and he's been working two hours away most weeks. I've pretty much been a single mom for the last 9 months.

My first thought was to go to an amusement park. We love roller coasters and it's always a fun time, but Hubby didn't want to do that. He actually wanted to go to a baseball game and I was thankful the weekend we planned didn't have a home game.

So, we're getting a couples massage!!!! Does that sound like heaven or what?

Mommy guilt is a little unsettling as this is the first time I'll be leaving The Baby and it's an overnighter, and the day after we get back is when she starts daycare full-time.

I've been having a rough time. My happy pills don't even seem to be working. I'm wondering if people are allowed to have a bad few weeks or if I should up my dose. A weekend away is EXACTLY what Hubby and I need!

I might even treat myself to a pedicure this week.
