Duggar Family Expecting #18

Posted by Mom at 2:41pm in Announcements, Family

Congratulations to the Duggar Family.  Expecting #18 (or maybe #18 and #19 if it’s twins).  God Bless them…and I thought my home was full with 6 kids!

Welcoming 2008

Posted by Mom at 7:38am in Family

The holidays are over.  My birthday is over.  The kids are back to our school schedule, I am back to my normal work schedule.

Reflecting on 2007, I would say it was one of the best years of my life.  I gave birth to Baby A (after two consecutive second trimester miscarriages).  Our oldest graduated high school.  We sold the rehab house that we thought would never sell.  We spent an incredible week in Cancun!

There were many good things to celebrate, many hard times that we pushed through, but the bottom line is we are all healthy and we made it through another year…together.

I’m looking forward to this New Year and have great expectations for myself and my family.

Happy New Year!

Today Is My Friday

Posted by Mom at 7:34am in Family, Work At Home

I am taking a vacation day tomorrow so today is my last official working day this week.  It’s like my Friday…WOOT!  The kids are excited because we are putting up the Christmas tree and decorations.

I’m excited because I’m spoiling myself with a three day weekend right after I had a four days off last week!

Before the word “slacker” forms on your tongue, let me share my work schedule with you.  Next week is a working weekend.  I am doing major router and firewall upgrades starting at midnight next Thursday, and working through Sunday.  After that, my next day off is December 15th!  I’ll need a vacation day after that to recover!

***Just a reminder that my “Birthday Contest” ends TODAY!  If you haven’t entered, please do so for your chance to win a $20 Gift Certificate from Amazon!
