Mollie Mae

We have a special birthday girl at our house today. Mollie Mae is 1 year old today. Yes, we had cupcakes, fixed her a new pillow for her bed and got her a few new toys. After our loss last December, Mollie has been such a blessing to us. She is the sweetest little thing and brightens everyone's day. It is impossible to feel bad when she is sooo happy to see you even if you are outside for 5 minutes. We love her and can't imagine life without her around here.

I took dd4 to see Disney on Ice Princess Wishes show last weekend. We had a lot of fun. It was a great time for just her and I to go check out the fair and then go to the show. We've gone from spending every second of every day together to not having much time together at all. So, it was a special night. We were on the 6th row. Dd4 was so excited. Anyway, here are a few pics from that night.

Life is so crazy busy these days. I'm leaving the house at 6:45 getting back around 5, then doing the usual kids stuff (by myself 99.9% of the time) until 9-9:30. By that time I barely have the energy to pick out clothes for the next day and drag myself to bed. Needless to say, I am feeling totally exhausted to the core. My house is a mess, my van is a mess...I am feeling out of control b/c I don't have time anymore to keep these things up. Yes, I know I am whining...lol!

I don't know why life has to be so hard. I am trying so hard to do things to get organized, pay off debt and just basically feel like I"m in control of my life. Everytime it seems like I may be making a little progress in the right direction, something or someone knocks me down. I just can't get ahead. Can't get dh on the same page with budgeting or much of anything for that matter, so that just makes it soooo much harder. He promises things and then the next day does another. UGGGGHHHHH!!!!! I AM VERY FRUSTRATED WITH MY LIFE!

Okay, I'm done. Hopefully I can go to sleep now....
