behind mommy lines behind mommy lines negotiating with the hostiles one sippy cup at a time 3 23 2015 whirlwind catchup hi guys i have been avoiding the blog it s been too long i am sorry for those of you who haven t been following along on twitter i wanted to catch you up on the happenings it s only just starting to resolve itself and i can even talk about it without tearing up so that s something back in october we decided to make a big change and submitted the husband s name for a transfer to portland we had done quite a bit of researching the area homes etc and really felt like we were ready for a new adventure it was so exciting to dream about trees rain and temperate climates in january we celebrated all the kid s birthdays and took the family for a big trip out to see my in laws in st louis mere days before our departure back east we got the call that we could be portland bound it was a huge stretch cutting the trip short and having husband race directly from the airport to his car to make a straight push the 17 hr drive it was hectic to say the least we had two days to prepare the house sell everything we didn t want to move which was almost everything i dreamed of a clean slate in oregon not to mention the inevitable short term downsizing we planned on upon arrival as i would be lone wolfing it down here without a husband as soon as he arrived in portland there were some serious red flags about his job stability and a week after he got up there he was laid off it was a huge blow as i m hoping you can imagine yet he had to stay up there to be on call to keep our insurance and to fight for his job back down here in vegas we went through two months of hell and agony he worked maybe a few hours a week at half pay we drained our rainy day portland fund down to the bone two weeks before we were to take husband s case to a tribunal to decide our fate the twins came home with lice from school they gave lice to me and i just about lost my marbles in an effort to quell the invasion i shaved my head nearly bald take a breath now i know seriously i know it was bad everything was bleak i was sobbing myself to sleep every night luckily the tribunal took pity on our situation and awarded his job back in vegas we didn t get everything we were asking for and took a hard monetary hit that will take some time to recover i m coming out of some stages of grief mourning the loss of a dream among other things like my freaking hair i m trying to be patient and make a plan for our life here we ll be putting down roots in this heaven forsaken dust bowl and i m not exactly sure what that is going to look like but i m taking it slow the worst is absolutely behind us i only got through those dark days with the help of my lovely community of friends both near and far i have been so incredibly lucky to have amazing people in my life including online thank you to those you know who you are who sent me things to brighten my day who offered warm words of encouragement who were there to listen to me weep and yell i m so grateful to be in this place this time being able to look back and see the mess behind us i share this only because i kept to myself a lot in real life and isolated myself quite a bit as talking about it was often really painful now it s out there and we can all brush ourselves off and move forward i m excited to see where this very different than planned adventure will take us hug your paychecks everyone posted by craftyashley at 9 32 am 5 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest 8 27 2014 beach photoshoot basically i tried to import and arrange all these in the time it took for the kids to eat dinner it did not go well and now i m all frazzled and kinda done with the whole thing kind of like how i felt at the idea of a photoshoot to begin with luckily my mother talked me into it and the thing happened it yielded some really beautiful pictures some of which i will be putting on canvases and putting somewhere i ve put some of them here for your perusal enjoy then stop by again and perhaps i ll be up to talking about the first day of school that happened this week second grade my babies are in second grade someone should really pull my head out of this open container of praline crunch ice cream with all that specificity you know it s true now that you ve most assuredly wet your pants from all the cuteness i recommend you go change your pants and then come back with some more praline crunch ice cream to stuff in my face also tell me where i can order some real quality prints canvas options that aren t going to annihilate my ice cream budget many thanks posted by craftyashley at 6 24 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest 8 18 2014 back to school supplies 2014 this year i ve seen a lot of posts showing what is on everyone else s school supply lists and how much each family ended up spending and hot darned if that doesn t interest me the list loving person we have to wait an eternity for our teacher assignments lists i think i got this one last week and went shopping this past weekend on a blitz during my child free birthday weekend some may find it strange that banging out this massive undertaking in my relaxing time is truly fun for me but i assure you i had a smile plastered on my fool face the whole time i hit target office max and sam s club in one afternoon and had time to spare to go out for lunch a movie afterwards it was pure bliss so down to business here is the list owls this year squeal it looked smaller than last year but it feels like i spent more this year it s hard to really tell as the twins will be in the same class so while i got two of some things i got only one of others in classroom general items so i don t know how it shakes out according to last year because i didn t do a snazzy post like this last year darn target did have a pretty good buy one get one 50 off sale on the school supplies which worked well for me who was buying two of everything the general classroom supplies suggested 2 bottles hand sanitizer not on list but i would sleep better knowing this is in the classroom 13 90 pack disinfecting wipes 8 98 2 packs 3x3 sticky notes 9 84 animal crackers 5 50 paper plates 6 69 skinny dry erase markers 4 49 total 49 40 i just now realized i skipped over the freezer bags i thought i had in storage nope just sandwich bags last minute store run i see you over there each child s supplies backpack lunch tote 45 00 water bottle 9 99 crayons 12 ct 1 87 colored pencils 2 74 6 glue sticks 5 97 24 pencils 3 00 2 composition notebooks 6 98 3 pink erasers 2 29 markers 1 46 12 ct dry erase markers 14 17 scissors 1 14 5 plastic folders 11 45 total 106 26 yikes and that is just for one kid so squirt has another 100 of supplies plus the nearly 50 in classroom supplies we ve spent about 250 and that doesn t account for shoes or clothes math why must you be so harsh to me maybe i didn t want to do this now i must go eat some feelings those feelings may taste like frozen ding dongs if you haven t tried it i suggest you add up your receipts for back to school and try it with me school starts one week from today and i am so excited it is time not only do i wear thin from having three kids at home full time but this dreadful weather is coming to a lengthy but quantifiable farewell it s the best time have a great week everyone do tell what is on your list posted by craftyashley at 12 23 pm 3 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest 7 24 2014 my attempt at a bullet journal i ve been hearing a lot of buzz about these bullet journals lately and i honestly do not understand them are they a list like a calendar a journal my phone does all these things for me in the interest of branching out i m bulleting my day as it was kinda epic yesterday i think it was wednesday july middle ish watched friend s kids play just dance wii to keep everyone in one room schooled friend s 9 yr old in pump up the jam i made the 90 s my biznatch almost died from the cardio load one song can do to an old lady like me still 10 000 points decent made lunch just my kids now put on a movie for quiet time had a revelation about squirt s temperament with this book it s basically written about her passed out on my bed woke up in he nick of time to whisk kids off to swimming at grandma s swam it was hot even in the water my face felt like it was going to sizzle right off pancakes got a zillion splinters took me over 30 mins to get two of the larger ones out my dad comes home and pops the third one out lickety split further proof he s magic after getting everyone in bed a full hour behind schedule i watched teen mom 2 on the couch accompanied by two frozen ding dongs pro tip let the dogs sleep in the big bed as scotty has a dental appt the next day and at 11 years anesthesia is a bit of a gamble got a pretty crappy night s sleep with two squirrelly dogs but i did get peaches to smile for the camera she was asleep posted by craftyashley at 2 01 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest 7 11 2014 early morning conversation the other night little man decided to abandon pull ups before i headed off to bed i checked on him he was totally out but also totally wet so last night we went back to the safe embrace of mr pull up of course this means he leaked through the pull up at 6 am this morning and i was not ready to wake up i stripped him out of his jammies and shooed him into my bed hoping for an extra hour of snoozling nope the squirmy wormies got the best of his four year old body so we whispered to each other in the morning him i m going to stay in daddy s space
