Patience is a Virtue.

For all of you out there who are going to agree with this statement shortly, I must say, my blogging habits have been lame lately.

Yes, it is true.  I have turned into one of those part-time bloggers who rarely post and when they do, all those reading are expecting it to be some momentous event!  Hate to let you down, but this post will not be momentous, whatsoever.  It will be, however, a sweet and salty recap of the past weeks’ events.

Patience has definitely been a virtue in my life the past month that has literally been kicking my butt.  I wish I could say that I’ve gained a lot from it, but I don’t feel quite yet I have.

Luckily, Greg is FINALLY coming home on Thursday and my need for a greater amount of patience for my children will hopefully be lessened with his presence. 

The house hunt is going well.  We have narrowed it down and put an offer in on a really nice, 1720 sq.ft ranch that is in town.  It is a new construction (as you can see) and is perfect.

Our poor little house here in Wisconsin has only had one showing….plus we found out that the third (yes third) appraisal came in low also so we had to drop the price.  We had a couple who wanted to buy it but their parents scared them with the thought of living with a septic system.  Clearly they did not read my blog post on septics!

I have grown accustom to having 1,000,000 things to do and only a short amount of time to do them before I have to shower and go to bed.  Sadly, I feel I am missing out on some important moments in the girls’ lives due to my constant attempt to keeping the house tidy and our lives in order.  After this, I just may turn my new house into a disorganized mess (yeah right who am I kidding).

The girls, who most of the time I find tugging at my pant legs for something, have definitely forced me to be super patient the past month as well.  Sweet Shelby just wants her momma to sit on the ground so she can crawl all over and kiss her and Morgan…well she wants the same!  Ha.  They are my little lovers whom I know we are doing all of this for them to have good lives.

And somehow, it just all works out at times.  I know it is a blessing from the Lord – I just hate being patient and waiting for it!  AH!  Mom, was I always this impatient as a child?  No wonder I sucked at making homemade ice cream.

All in all, life is crazy at my house and I miss Greg.  So there you go.  Enjoy the pics

Crazy kid dumped all of Shelby’s toys out to sit in here.

The Animal Crown she made at Zoo Class.

Playing at the park.

Shelby just chillin at the park.

Nothing like pushing around 55lbs worth of kid plus 15lbs worth of stroller, food and drinks around the Zoo all morning!

At least Shelby appreciated me
