New Ward

Yesterday, our stake went through many changes. 4 of the 9 wards in our stake were realigned to make a new ward.
I am a little sad because many of our friends now attend the new ward, but I am so excited to make new friends.

We are at WAR!

I'm not sure what the deal is, but there is a TON of flies in our area. As a family, we had a BBQ/swim party in our backyard. M, the kids and I were in and out of the house pretty much all afternoon. Later that evening we noticed quite a few flies and even swatted a bunch. The next day there was still a lot of flies flying around. It has been almost a week since the party and we STILL have a bunch flying around. I'm sure new flies have come with the kids leaving the door open. M laughs at me as I swat at them. I HATE having flies or any other insect in our home. It drives me CRAZY!

Come to find out, we are not the only people with this problem. My Brother and Sister in Law have swarms of flies along with our neighbors and friends. Maybe it's a state issue...? Whatever the case may be, I am at war, until they are all gone!

Wednesday

Today so far has been a really great day. The kids and I dropped M off at work so that we could have the car.

We stopped by Princess's School. They posted up the classes and teachers, so we were able to see which teacher Princess got and who was in her class. All the kids from our ward that are going to the same grade and school will be in her class. I know she will have a great time at school when it starts.

OJ was invited to a birthday party at a nearby park. It was a Thomas the Train themed party so all the boys got Thomas hats and balloons. Plus they got to color a picture. Since the party was at a park, the kids got to run around on the toys. They had a lot of fun! I didn't bring my camera, but I took pictures when we got home.




I have volleyball later this evening. I always look forward to getting some exercise and getting out of the house of a few hours.

I need Hostesses

I am looking to book parties in September, October, November and December. Even if you do not live near me.

Here's how it works for my friends and family who live far away. We set up a day and time like normal. Then I email you pictures of items that we have in stock. The hostess either has everyone get together at her house to shop online together or she emails all her family, friends and co workers the pictures of everything. I would ship all the orders to the hostess. Shipping would be $5 a person. I can even do the same thing for anyone that would like to help me out, but doesn't want everyone at their place. There is no shipping charge for nearby hostesses.

As a hostess, you will receive 8% off the total sales from your party. Plus, I am doing a special where anybody that hosts a party in September will be entered into a drawing for a FREE Handbag.

Don't forget. Sandals are buy 1 get 1 50% off and Boots, hats and scarves are coming in the end of September.

Everything that we sale is $15 or less. When we get boots in, Boots are only $20! That's an amazing deal!

The website is www.mycentsofstyle.com We have many more items that are not pictures on the website. The website is just a sample of items we carry.

If you're interested, leave a comment with your email address so we can set up a time and Date!

We all Need a Break

So this morning, I was awaken by the loud shrieking of Baby Girl. She must have been screaming for awhile, because she only screams like that when she feels she's being ignored. I slowly got out of bed, picked her up, changed her diaper and made sure she was fed. M was definitely awake the whole time, but was pretending to be asleep.

After Baby Girl was happy, M told me that He had waken up 3 or 4 times to take care of her. He told me that she woke up about 5:30 and she kept waking up or wouldn't go back to sleep after that.

I looked at him and said, "No, she wasn't up at 5:30." Then he quickly said, "It was either 4:30 or 6. Something like that. I again told him that she wasn't up at those times either. The reason why I knew that was because I woke up at 3:30 and could not fall asleep until about 6:30. I said that the reason why she woke up and wouldn't go back to sleep, was because it was morning time and she was ready to get up! Boy, I was really frustrated today with M.

Although today was not one of his helpful days, there are many, many times that M has stayed up with Baby Girl and has tried to keep Princess and OJ quiet while I took a nap. He helps me clean the house every so often and one time He even picked up our bedroom without being asked! I was away playing volleyball at the time.

Just like women, Men need to be shown appreciation for the things that they do. I just have to remember that we all need a break now and again. I am very grateful for M. I don't show him appreciation all the time and I should. I am very lucky to have a caring and helpful husband. Most of the time. :)
