Hmmm, the Wedding favors are a thank you gift to the guests, but should not be too expensive. They are a token of appreciation, that also serve as a memory of the joining of two lives. Some people settle for something simple, like a match book with the bride and grooms names and the wedding date on them. Others, have gone more exotic and put little glass containers with Beta fish in them. The guests end up with a pet to take home with them. That is actually a pretty neat idea. Finding something unique is usually a brides first intent, and affordable is the second.
Big breakfast
I made a big breakfast this morning for the family. I usually do every Sunday, but lately have kind of dropped the ball on it. Sometimes life seems to get in the way and our normal routine gets all messed up. It takes a lot of concentrated effort to put everything back into place. So, I am putting things back into place one step at a time.
Routine is important to kids because it makes them feel safe and secure. I know that is going to be difficult with the holidays here, but I will do it anyway. Usually we already have our tree up and that hasn’t happened yet either. Hopefully that is one other thing I can accomplish today as well.
Unity candle ceremony
So I think she has decided on a Unity candle ceremony. It is a very beautiful ceremony that makes a lasting memory. Plus, when the ceremony is over, you have the candles to use as decorations for your house. It is a win/win situation. Plus the candles are amazingly beautiful. I hope she doesn’t change her mind about this part, because I really like the idea. I have seen one of these ceremonies before and it was great. I have thought that if I were to ever get married again, I might have to do this particular ceremony, or something like it. I will keep you updated on what we are doing and maybe it can help some of you as well.
And the winner is
Not really, but I will definitely be happier when my youngest quits getting up at the crack of dawn on the weekends. I would really love to be able to sleep in late sometime. My eldest will help once in a while and get up with him, but he still comes into my room every five minutes so trying to sleep is really pointless. Ah the joys of motherhood!
Wedding decorations
I am helping a friend plan her wedding and the wedding decorations are what I am working on right now. We are still unsure exactly what colors she wants and may end up with a tye dyed rainbow if we can’t pick one soon. It is really too funny, because just when we think we have it, something better looking pops up and we have to start from scratch again. This isn’t easy to do when you aren’t really sure what you want. I am sure that a lot of brides are like that though. I am beginning to understand the thought process behind Bridezillas.
Back to bed
I was up really early this morning to get some work done and I am tired. I got the kids off to school and the bus was late as usual, but I think a couple more hours sleep is just what I need. I will warm my coffee back up later and drink it. This girl needs some beauty sleep. Wish me sweet dreams and say goodnight. Hasta la vista!
Thinking about moving
I have been looking at real estate louisville ky and seriously thinking about moving there. It’s not really that far away and most of my family is there. My parents live halfway between here and there, so it wouldn’t make a difference one way or another. The kids aren’t too keen on it though. They would miss their friends and schools and such. I will take their feelings into consideration before I uproot them. After all, it is their life too.
For the boys
For Christmas this year, one of the presents I am getting the boys is Tuff Hedeman Cowboy Hats. They have been asking for a cowboy hat for a while now, but since they are kind of pricey, I didn’t want to get them until I knew they would take care of them. Like most boys, mine have a tendency to drop whatever they have in their hands or one them right on the floor. Then they step all over whatever it is and if it wasn’t dirty before they dropped it, it is afterwards. Now that they are a bit older, I think they will be able to take care of the hats. I will put up some hat pegs in their room, so they can hang them up. That should work nicely.
Morning cup of Joe
I wish my coffee looked this pretty every morning. I am going to have to learn how they do this. It is amazing the way they can make different pictures in the tops of the coffee like this one. I think I am going to have to post a “morning cup of joe” all the time, if I can find a lot that look this awesome.
Blah
When I bought this house, I wanted it to be close to the kids schools. However, I didn’t realize that they would be the first ones on the bus and the last ones off of it. They are on the bus for at least an hour every day and have to get up really early to catch it. I have had constant problems with the new bus driver too. She is inattentive to the kids and what they talk about. The other driver had much more control over the kids and could manage to get here on time without calling out sick constantly either. This has gotten ridiculous to the point that I had to call the transportation department and make a complaint about her. I told the director that he needed to put the old bus driver back on this bus and right away.
