Okay Okay! So, I know I haven't updated in way too long, but life has truly been hectic, and now that the holidays are over it should calm down a bit. At least I hope it does. I thought I would add our most recent family picture to this post. It was taken at Thanksgiving at my parent's house. Holy Cow that's a lot of girls!! Poor Fred! But what a beautiful family if I do say so myself.
I don't know if I mentioned this or not, but I have changed jobs and I am now working at Michael's Arts and Crafts as a Supervisor and I am totally loving it. I started there the beginning of October and life has been pretty crazy since then. I have since asked that my hours be cut almost in half so I can be home with the girls more.
The holidays were CRAZY and I was gone way too much. I think they were all starting to feel a little motherless and I hated it! Aymara, my little 5 year old, said "Mom, when the holidays are over are we going to be a family again?" Oh my gosh, it almost broke my heart! Not only was I gone a lot, but Fred was gone a lot too, because being the store Manager of Kmart he too was pretty much NEVER home! Did I say "Motherless"? What I meant to say was, "Parentless"! I think the girls were feeling like a bunch of orphans for about two months and I hated it.
At least it is over now and life is starting to get back to some sorts of normalcy. My house is still crying for some serious attention, but it will get it's pampering back now that I will be home more. On top of that our dryer broke!! GRRRRR! So, with a family of 11 can you even imagine the piles of laundry I had to catch up on until we got a new one? Two weeks worth of laundry just piling up day after day!! I ended up doing laundry straight, batch, after batch, after batch, for like THREE days! As much as I hate laundry it was horrible and I hope to NEVER be that backed up again.
Anyway, life is good and the girls are starting to get used to having parents again, so we are happy about that! Hope everyone's holidays were fun and relaxing and you are all well and happy!
