Mind Blown

Auh, Good Morning to all...

Today I just feel like typing everything on my mind. I have a ton on it. I feel like if I express them here.. MAYBE Ill feel better about it.. or learn from it? I want this year to be diffferent. I am ready for a change.

Do you ever feel confused about work? or tired of work... I used to LOVE my job ;don't get me wrong I still have feeling for my job... just not the LOVE part. Ha. They over work me. They put so much on me and I get really tired of it. I especially feel like they don't help me out or pay me for what I'm worth. I have a 4 year degree people... dang it. I freaking still have student loans that I pay for and I don't even work in a way that I think I should be with my degree. I need help. Serious help.
I have thought about going back to school and getting a completely different degree. Career Change. Am I stupid??? Should I add more student loans to my plate? Am I that hungry for Sallie Mae. Doesn't sound delicious. But I was thinking and hoping that if I had more education maybe I could find the job. Excuse me the RIGHT job that paid me more. That thought I was worth the money.
When I am here working I don't really think about the money so much.. I think about the frustrating people i work with. Then on that second Friday when I get paid. I think about the money. But is it so much about the money? I mean money don't make me happy. It helps... but don't make me happy. So Do I settle for this or do I explore??? I have been at my job for almost 8 years now. I absolutly love my boss. He is such a sweetheart. Angel. I have trust in him that he will take care of me. But I know if I was to confront him with my issues he will tell me that " if your not happy here.. look for something that makes you happy". Its all about being happy.. not being wealthy. I am so scared to take the plunge of a job change. I know I need too. Just Scared.

on top of that.... Auh I know you thinking what the crap..

I would love to expand my family. I would love for Kaleb to have a little brother or sister. I would to start trying for a new baby now. I know that I cant make a baby appear in a sec. Its not up to me or Jake to say we are going to have another one. Its the Lord. But because I don't know the future I don't know weather to start trying now...or wait. And this is all going back to the job situation. I feel like if I don't hurry up and have babies then OBAMA wont let me have any haha.. this OBAMA health care crap is freaking me out. Who knows when my insurance is going to go to crap. And we know my money spill.. I don't have it . Ha. If I change jobs... My boss may not be so nice and help pay for insurance.

I feel like I will be in my 60's still paying these stupid loans. Serious. Why did my lovly parents make me go to college and make me pay for them? I am NOT doing this to Kaleb. Hands Down.

I need motivation. Change of mind. Change of job.Change of season. Change of somthing. Advise.

- Prayers PLEASE-



Weekend Recap

OH how I love weekends! and they never last long enough! We had originally planned on going to the hunting club with Jake but I was kinda scared it was too cold for Kaleb. Plus there is only so much entertainment for Kaleb there and I think he would of drove me insane =)

So we just took it easy at home instead!

Friday night we ate some BBQ with Nonnie. Nothing big planned really just layed around and watched TV.

Saturday we had some arrons to run. We took my car to Anthony's Car Wash in Vestavia , Al. Gosh my car looks SO much better! I was desperate for a car wash!!

That night I got to babysit my sweet nephew Cael. He is such a sweet baby!! and Kaleb loves playing with him!

Sunday we slept in and snuggled on the couch watch cartoons. I thought about going to church but knowing we were going to a birthday party that afternoon , I wanted Kaleb to have a nice long nap and easy morning. So that what we did. Took it easy. We had craft time around 9:30 am. ( early I know, but I was already out of ideas!! he woke up so early) We made two pictures for Daddy since he shot a 6 point at the hunting club!! yeah! We were happy for him!

After nap and lunch we headed out to Jump Zone in Pelham for a 5th birthday party. Logan is my cousins little boy. So adorable! We all had so much fun!

I had pictures with this post but for some reason there not there. computer problems =)

SNOW DAY!

This is from last thursday... If your from Alabama then you know all about the adventure we had yesterday!!
oh how we LOVE SNOW!!! but TOTALLY freak out!!

Alabamians always freak out on the roads and drive crazy and rush to get there milk and break before the snow hits!

Aah...

But once all the madness calms down. We absolutely adore playing in the beautiful snow!

I actually didn't get to play in it with Kaleb. Jake picked him up from school early ( before all the crazy traffic) I was at work and left work during the crazy traffic. I was so scared coming home. When I finally made it home Kaleb was already tried of it and ready for a nap. So me and Jake played in it and had a snow ball fight!!!

So much fun!!

This is me at work when it first starting coming down!

We had a few snow ball fight here at the work place too!!

Here are a few pictures of the house and the dogs playing in it

You are absolutely adorable to me, I feel like I brag on you everyday! I mean why wouldn't I? Mothers always think the best of there own!

New words you are saying:

I think you weigh about the same as last month. Around 25-28 pounds.

Size 24 months clothes

Size 5 diaper. Still working on potty training and pull ups

size 5-6 shoe

You are eating more different foods.. which is good and bad. You are still a snack food junkie and a bread lover... so when you want something new I love it but depending on what that food is.. you cant have it for dinner =) I didn't think you liked banana's but you ate them good at your Nana's house.

When your good at school you love getting snacks =)

I am hoping there is a play room in your future and a big boy bed in your future!! I hope you really enjoy them!

Your favorite Christmas toys are the horse and the kitchen set.

You love to pull apart the Mr. Potato head too.. but never put him back together!

I love you Joshua Kaleb!!

Prayer Requests

I have a few prayer requested today. Please be that good person I know you are and pray for the following! Thank you and have a Blessed day!!

1. Me- I have been super busy at work. I am on constant overload. I feel the need to put in Overtime but hate taking that time away from my family. I struggle everyday to become that over achiever that the workplaces expects of me.

2. A friend of mine has a contract pending on their house for sale. This house as been on the market for 2 years now. This process can be stressful but I pray this works out and everything gets handled.

3. anonymous- is hoping this new year can bring a new adventure to their life. Lord be willing to bless this family.

4. Both my nephew and friend had tubes put in their ears. I pray for fast recovery and a new year of ZERO ear infections!!

5. A friend of mine just graduated college and moved back home. I pray for her that she can find a job she loves going to everyday. Something close to heart and home. I pray her education helps her find something she loves.

Thanks!!

Love , Kate

I love you Jake

This song is dedicated to my wonderful husband Jake of 4 years! Today is our anniversary and I think this song is absolutely perfect! I have waited a thousand years for him and will continue to fall deeper in love!!

He is my best friend, knight, shoulder to lean on, husband, teacher, ect. I could go on and on. I love everything about you, Jake. I am beyond thankful for you! God knew what he was doing sending you to me. We were meant for each other. Period.
