<br />
This week has been a whirlwind for me as I left a job that I know how to do and love doing to make a better schedule for family and myself. This weekend I have been super stressed and overwhelmed and have been trying to cope with what is going on. I never intended to leave my job for another, the opportunity just arose and after much debate I knew what I had to do. This post is more for me than anything else. I have struggled with being a good parent and having the energy I need to do a better job. <br />
<br />
Did you know:<br />
<br />
•For every additional hour worked over 40, the odds that a parent will express concern about the effect of long hours on his or her family and personal lives increases by 7 percent. Found <a href="http://www.parentfurther.com/parenting/work">here</a><br />
<br />
I came across this after I had resigned and it is crazy thatwas me when I was challenged with long hours. Like, and yet unlike, so many others my day starts usually before 6 a.m. Not only do I get myself fed and dressed and ready in less than 2 hours but I get two kids dressed and delivered to daycare w/ diapers/nap mats/breakfast/etc.. Shaun is here to help but let me say that even w/ two of us it is a mere miracle that we get it all together. The dogs need to be fed, the trash to be taken to the curb, occasional flat tires and a few unnecessary tantrums. It is chaos. Then I work 8-9 hours and go back to get the kids, get them home, and work on the rest of the evening. By 9 p.m. my day is finally over and I can relax. Just knowing that any of this schedule could be pushed back by an hour or more made me a wreck! Shaun has to work 50 hours at least a week so I can't even get into his schedule. <br />
<br />
It doesn't help that I am probably one of the best worryiers (I know I didn't spell that right) in the world. I want to be the best at everything.. my job, parenting, being a wife, etc.. that is impossible. And no one is criticizing my job but me. SO, to make a long story short, I am taking on a new, hopefully less stressful, position. It will challenge me but will have set hours with not many if any variations. And I know that is the right thing. At this point in life avoiding any new stresses is so important. I want the world for my boys and I can't do my part when I am a nervous wreck. They are going thru so many changes and I have to keep life as normal as we can make it. <br />

I would be absolutely lost without them. They make my muscles weak and my head hurt, but they are what I wake up for every morning. Someday they will not need me so much and I will have the opportunity to put more into something else. I never thought parenting would take so much out of me, but in a good way. I always knew God wanted me to make a difference in peoples lives, but I always thought that would be strangers. Now I know he means these little guys too. They might not always do what I ask but somehow I think they will remember what I have said. I will be making personal sacrifices for the rest of my life and I have to be okay with that, as does any parent. Changing jobs has been one of those sacrifices, and I am 100% at peace with it and hope I will make my next employer happy. Thanks for reading my vent... it does help. While I am writing this I have been met every two or three minutes by a little hand needing something. It has taken me way longer than it should have, but that doesn't matter. Tomorrow is a new day, gotta get ready!</div>Michelle Ribbing & Kristie Edwardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10747565185724287028noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26893887.post-35618046965079864592011-08-04T19:33:00.000-07:002011-08-04T19:35:13.711-07:00Little bit of August fun...<br />

Jackson had a great birthday, it seemed to last forever to me! I won't dwell on all the sickness and busyness we have experienced over the course of the last week, so on to the pics.<br />

We finally finished the outdoor bar. I am so excited that we have this little set up, it will be awesome to use all summer long. I have pictures of it, but they won't be in this post! I wanted to share these cute boys with you! Love them.. birthday party coming up... yiipppeeee!Michelle Ribbing & Kristie Edwardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10747565185724287028noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26893887.post-52676207358950553582011-03-28T10:37:00.000-07:002011-03-28T10:38:45.713-07:00I feel like such a slacker.. I have posted in well over a week but to my defense I have been a little busy.<br />
<br />
I don't really what all has been taking so much of our time other than life itself! We have managed to do everything under the sun (except the laundry-which I tried to get under control this weekend). <br />
<br />
I have been walking w/ my friend/coworker Anne over the past couple of weeks and that has been fantastic for my energy. Shaun is working on building an outdoor bar and that has been interesting. I think it is safe to say he is about half way done. Our plan is put in a mini fridge and trash can on one side and then a place for all the outdoor toys. He has been using most of the old lumber the old homeowner left behind but I think that luxury {still questionable if it was the best idea} is about up. One day, soon I hope, we will have an awesome back porch that is kid friendly and "adult" friendly. Now I just need a spot to plant some amazing colorful plants. I have quite a few pots already.<br />
<br />
The boys are good. Westyn smoked his head yesterday and has a massive knot on his head... poor kid. This weekend he decided that the lady on Monsters and Aliens {Think that is the name of the movie (voice of Reese Witherspoon)} is "momma". I am totally okay w/ that even though I haven't actually seen the movie. She is hot on the cover of the DVD case though and I bet she is cool too! Jackson and I did have been doing some heavy duty wrestling and I think he is actually a little scared of me. Isn't that how it should be? I have been thinking about his birthday party on April 9th and I am pretty sure it will have no theme.. I just like to flow like that. Last years it was Dinosaurs and Soccer Balls, year before that.. I don't remember.. but I am just going to keep it calm and stress free. <br />
<br />

Here is a picture of my sweet boys!! They are fighting more and more these days and I think I am about to just give up on trying to make us all get along. Shaun and I have been trying out different techniques on who to let win these fights and I still don't like any of the results. Westyn is down right mean, and Jackson just likes to aggervate. I am sure this is normal behavior but man, it is hard to watch all day.<br />

Apparently I can't keep an accurate count so I have decided to go ahead and document this one in case the Dr's office decides to start subtracting on me. This means one more and we get to visit w/ the ENT Dr. I am not that excited about tubes, but I am excited to see my little guy happy and healthy. I feel like all of these antibiotics every three weeks can't be good for him.</div><div align="center"></div>Michelle Ribbing & Kristie Edwardshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10747565185724287028noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26893887.post-61029647256357397232011-03-17T12:19:00.000-07:002011-03-17T12:19:42.554-07:00<div align="center"><span style="font-size: x-large;">2011</span></div><div align="center">It is 2011... it is so hard to believe that my kids will be turning 2 and 4 this year.

<br />
<strong>Besides a few meltdowns from a cranky certain somebody, we did have a great weekend.</strong><br />
<br />
Jackson was a big helper on Friday and let mom get some pictures of him as I practice for my upcoming mini session. <br />

Jackson's face is so funny yet cool. I think he is finally getting okay w/ all the pictures mom insists he takes. Let's be honest, getting the other one to sit still is a joke. I can't wait to get to start taking more pictures outside, I LOVE SPRING AND SUMMER and so does my camera. Ha Ha</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">*Before I forget I have to post something sweet Jackson did for me today- I was trying to bring some plants in the back door and hit myself square in the middle of the forehead with the door and it hurt. I let out a big "Ouch.. ewhhh" and instantly my eyes started to swell up. Did I mention it hurt? Jackson was standing there and got so scared and sad for me. He ran up to me and gave me the biggest hug and started crying. It was so awesome to see the little guy care so much. His heart is so big and I love that about him.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I just haven't been getting my camera out lately to take many pictures, unexplainable really! <br />
<br />
Our weeks have been kind of boring to be honest. Westyn did chip a tooth which has caused mom much grief but he seems to be fine. I can't get a picture of the thing but it isn't anything too terrible. I swear, those boys just go crazy all the time and it is a wonder we haven't had any other chips and breaks along the way. I am sure we will.. just give it some time.<br />
<br />
My parents came in for a visit last weekend and like always the kids had a blast. I love the fact that grandparents are such a big deal for my kids. And I am pretty sure the grandparents feel the same way. Since we don't get to see both sets that much it is extra special to see them interact with the kids. Jackson really wanted to go back to Mimi's house to play with her toys, and he wanted Pappaw to watch "Westereens" {Westerns}with him. <br />
<br />

Saturday night I went to an engagement party for my sister at her friend Megan's house. It was a lot of fun. They made each of us a wine class and had delicious food. I mean "D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S" food. I may have spelled that wrong. I am still getting a chance to meet some of these awesome girls and it was a lot of fun.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Megan took this photo and I hope I have permission to use it? We are so excited about Michelle and David getting hitched.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div align="left" style="text-align: center;">In other news: Jackson has been so funny lately! That kid learns so much everyday and it is exhausting following him. I think I refer to pretty much everything as "exhausting" these days. He is counting in spanish now and using really big words like "mom you are <em>aggervating</em> me" Who knew? One conversation we had the other day went like this:</div><div align="left" style="text-align: center;">Jackson: "Mom, my eye really hurts, it really hurts"- crying and stressing out</div><div align="left" style="text-align: center;">Me: "Well babe, let me look at it and see what I can to help you"</div><div align="left" style="text-align: center;">Jackson: "I think a graham cracker will help"</div><div align="left" style="text-align: center;">Me: "Oh you want a graham cracker?"</div><div align="left" style="text-align: center;">Jackson: "Yes, Mom, this will help my eye"</div><div align="left" style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div align="left" style="text-align: center;">I swear the kid is a genius, his eye was better within minutes of getting that graham cracker. They learn to work the system so early in life. They know the triggers I have and perhaps that is what makes it so exhausting.</div><div align="left" style="text-align: center;">Even Piper looks exhausted</div><div align="left" style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div align="center">I swear sometimes Jackson is the smartest kid in the world. I guess about a month ago he started asking Shaun and I if we were happy? Usually this was after he had spilled his snack all over the kitchen floor, or when he purposely stepped on his favorite toy in frustration. However, there are times when we are both tired of just work, etc, and he will ask us if we are happy and it makes us both realize that "Yes" we are. It is crazy how many times these little kids have to remind of us of our blessings.We are adults, we should be the one reminding them but so many times the situation is reversed. </div><div align="center"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHMBvkaBDAK6Wp1u1ENNHMqFiPg1T2VQOlv1Lxtk4M8xF6j2mU4kd5QP0_idc33tkripHEBF5ZIv8tuebQd_uPD8LIhurzlKzCBzcnZkA5Jq9Vxt2EnATbsahmmui-JhA_WRxvBw/s1600/IMG_2358.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" l6="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHMBvkaBDAK6Wp1u1ENNHMqFiPg1T2VQOlv1Lxtk4M8xF6j2mU4kd5QP0_idc33tkripHEBF5ZIv8tuebQd_uPD8LIhurzlKzCBzcnZkA5Jq9Vxt2EnATbsahmmui-JhA_WRxvBw/s640/IMG_2358.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Then today we were playing and he let me borrow his hammer which I started brushing my hair with. He preceeded to tell me that I wasn't supposed to do that but did listen and kept brushing my hair with it. This kid recited me word for word and scolded me for not listening to him! Such a proud moment!</div><br />

I can send him to check on Westyn and usually he comes back w/ the full honest report to what that kid is into! </div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Perhaps the biggest blessing of our week was when Jackson fell asleep on his own and without Shaun and I while we tended to his sick little brother. It is as if he knew we had our hands full and he didn't need us {which is really sad now that I think about it}.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

I do. I have a couple actually. This is one of them. I don't know why but my coffee taste better to me in certain cups. What is even stranger is that I won't even try coffee from restaurants, I only like it out of my $20 coffee maker. <br />

Now I realize the tension rod is bent, but it was one I already had and wanted to give my idea a try w/o putting any holes in a perfectly fine wall.I will buy a new and better one soon. I have been wanting privacy for these little windows by the door for awhile. Buying blinds would be expensive and I am not sold on the idea of having them covered at all times. With these curtains hung up I can close them as I want too. It doesn't look great from the inside w/ them closed, but that doesn't bother me. <br />
