stress

This has been such a crazy year...I would sum it up with the word "uncertainty".
We've been playing a waiting game with the state who is tearing our house down because of a road widening....we don't know where we want to move just yet...but I have alot of homes already in mind....the home buying process is such a drag..but we're gettin' thru it...

In the meantime...I've been enjoying motherhood like never before. It's so nice to have real conversations with my older girls...and then turn around and be silly with my younger ones.

I went thru a summer of really being annoyed at Pete's love for golf...but I've come to terms with it and realized that there's really nothing I can do about it...so I'll move on and focus on something else...

I'm pissed at myself for gaining so much weight...but I'm determined to start shedding it off .... 'soon'...hehehe... I care..but then I don't care...just one of those things....

Happy that my siblings got together and did a reunion concert in HI..which I totally missed...I had the opportunity..but passed on it with total regret...and can't wait for my sister Moana to move here in Jan....we can then work on some new My Sisters projects....

Here's the latest from that show in HI (my sister Liz couldn't make it...she's due with baby #6 anytime now)

been awhile...

geez..I almost forgot all about my blog...now that my baby is here..which by the way was born April 3, 2009..named her Faith Hinalei....anyway...now that she's here..and I'm not working no more..I can blog a little more.
Faith is my last child..7th...and I love every inch of this little being. Its been an interesting progression from how I felt with my first child to this one.
I had to learn to love..with the first one...everything about being a mom was so new...and as each child came it started to come more naturally...now I just am soaking in everything......oh darn...she's waking up...til later...
