While the men are at play the trash goes away!

I have been on an anti clutter spree in our house and I love it. Poor Trent came home after I had raided the pantry and fridge of everything that I deemed trashable. Goodwill was loving it this morning. Trent's office is located next to a Goodwill drop off center and I love it. When ever I go on one of my spree's I just load up the Truck and off it goes. I love it.

I am continually amazed at how much clutter can build up in such a short time.



This weekend Trent is leaving to go watch the Steelers play in AZ with the Papa and I have free reign to attack the garage. I can't wait! Nothing makes me happier then having everything in it's place just the way I like it. Me the label maker are going to be busy this weekend!

Mommy you look like a working woman

This morning as you can tell by the pictures posted ealier I went to a job interview. This one was with Eli Lilly. The interview went great and it was obviously a face to face and not just a phone interview. My phone interview was horrible with them and I don't want to go into it. Anyway I don't take regetion well so persistance paid off and everything is well.



When I got home Paxman was still asleep and Trent was slaving away on the laptop working from home. Tonight he is taking Mika to a charity father/daughter dance sponsored by some boys and girls club. Mika is excited for her date with Trent.

Mika is growing up so fast the other day I had some of my friends kids over and one of them was a little girl. She loved playing with Mika's dollhouses and Mika told her that she could have them if she wanted to. I have to say it broke my heart that Mika no longer wants to play with her Dora or Fisher Price dollhouse. She is growing up to fast for me. Now she is into High School Musical and the tweenie shows on the Disney Channel. It is 9:00 pm and she is still out with her Dad on a school night... Like I said she is growing up to fast for me.

After I dropped off Mika at dance we were getting close to our house and Max looked up a big hill and said, "that's were Jake lives, I like Jake's house, Mom I need to have 1...5...no 10 sleepovers at Jake's house, so you can take me up there and make sure you bring 10 pull-ups for Breena." The pull-up detail was funny but is even funnier is that Breena is a baby sitter not Jake's mom who sit's for Jake and his brother's and my kids.

Mika said this to me after I picked her up from the bus stop and that I looked like a giant with my heels on.

What type are you

Take the Quiz here!

So I did this quiz that was on my friends blog and I don't know if we are the same type or if this is the only heroine that comes up. Take the quiz and let me know.

The boys

While we had the camera out the boys starting acting up and Paxman kept saying cheese. He is such a camera hound!

Trent and I got Paxton these Pj's while down at Sunriver.
(it's hard to tell this is Paxton's backside because of his lack there-of)

The Interview look

(this is after waking up at the crack of dawn to get in my 7 miles that morning for training, luckily I got all my yawning overwith before my interview)

Chop, Chop

After talking about it for a while I finally took the plunge and cut my hair. I was able to have enough to donate to Locks of Love, which made it even better. I love my new haircut. I was scared and afraid that I would miss having long hair until I did it the next morning after my long run. It went so quick that I didn't miss my long hair one bit. As soon as it was chopped off I looked in the mirror and said I feel like a grown-up!

Jump for Joy

It took me all summer. After 3 canceled orders, one wrong size I finally got our enclosure. If I would have been smart I would have just got a new trampoline that came with one but ours was so big I didn't want to get a smaller one so after many attempts at special ordering I finally got ones and the kids can jump with ease!

First Soccer Game of the Year

This is a far cry from last year when she would sit on the sidelines faking am injury and picking flowers.
