So, I Suck At Blogging

Truly I do.
We're at the end of the school year, I'm almost at the end of my pregnancy.
It's Saturday night, Ella and I are up way too late, listening to Ray Stevens "Mississippi Squirrel Revival" and my rainbow baby is kicking away.
I can and will make it through this next month.
Ella turns 11 on May 17th. Riley would be 12.
The twins would be 2 in November.
Thomas has been gone a year.
Time passes by and waits for no one.

We have butterflies we are raising. One of them has come out of its chrysalis. Toby is what Ella named it.
We are patiently waiting for the others.
Gabe and I are both working, and working on our marriage, which is in a good place.
I am scheduled to be in Chicago this September for a flower show.

Life moves fast.

I am as big as a house, with a month to go yet.
Pray for me, my friends.
Pray this baby stays in.
Thank you for bearing with me here.

YES!

I am typing this post from our NEW house. Praise the LORD. I've been super stressed because of this upcoming move and while we're not moved yet (read: at all), I've plunked down the rent money on this place, because I need to breathe and have peace.

Ella and I did the happy dance in the living room already. Here are just a few pics from the house...it's clean, but not clean to MY standards yet. Guess what I'm doing tomorrow...cleaning, of course! Both houses, the one we're leaving and this one.

I love that I have so much light here, and a big ole yard where my kiddo can play and I don't have to worry about one set of neighbors calling the cops on the other set.

I have a house to clean. Actually, two. Lord, give me strength! :)

Remember when I joked about becoming a hermit?

Yeah...I've spent the last few days pretty much inside, except for a trip to work yesterday, and a brief outing today.

Between Ella being sick and me somehow hurting a muscle in my arm/neck/shoulder (go big or go home, right?) I've been stuck inside and alternately cuddling a bag of frozen vegges and a heat pack.

Uhm, NO. Hermitude is not for me.

Tomorrow, I have to unpack a truck at the food bank and Ella is coming too. And bringing her schoolwork. So, it's back to my insane life...even though I'll probably sleep with a heat pack again tonight.

In other news, I know something ya'll don't know....

details soon!
