¡Hace Mucho! (Aubrey)

-

 ­It has been a while. We have had a lot going on between our little family and the rest of the family. I felt like I couldn't make myself keep up with this blog as well. I am feeling a little bit more in control and like I can do it today, so here I am . 

Ben and Aaron have been pulling on my hair a lot and I really don't like being angry at my kids, so the hair had to go. It was really long and very damaged as well. 



I will have to get a better picture when I wash it next, I had already had it pulled up because of our FHE activity, but here is the length. I am not so sure I like the layers. I just don't think she did enough, but it is cut. 

Right now I am working on keeping this house together. We got a used fridge with a freezer to put outside, so that we can do better meal prepping (I am so excited!). That will make it easier to do what I am planning. I make a recipe, but I make 4 times what we need, divide it into 4 portions and freeze 3 of them. It makes my life so much easier. I am so much less stressed knowing I have meals ready in the freezer. I have been working up slowly trying to keep certain things under control with house keeping. 

Goals:
           1. Kitchen clean by end of night, no matter what.
           2. Front room picked up and organized by end of night, no matter what. 
           3. Work on chore box everyday in 15 min. increments
          
I am using just note paper and a clip board to help me make a list every night of the things I need and hope to get done. The list ends up being pretty long, but I try to make all the items be smaller things to finish the larger goal. This way I find it more motivating to finish something; I get to check something off every hour if not a lot more. 

I hope you all are doing great I love I miss you all so much!

    This is so awesome! I'm wanting to get a deep freezer when we move back to Rexburg so that I can have more space for freezer meals and stuff. Freezer meals are just wonderful to have, for everyday life and not just post partum!

    Where is that second picture? I can't really tell with that picture but from what I see I would agree with you on the layers. They look too minimal, it looks a little to all one length, maybe too safe? But again I can't tell so more pictures please. Yay on the freezer meals, I might need to start doing that. Good job on making the goals, they seem doable. I am also organizing my housework. I've decided to use an app, input things as I add them to the list and then see my progress from there. It is a gamifying app, I am the hero and each task can be assigned skills. Doing a task will raise my xp and my skills which in turn will allow me to level to different ranks. I'm trying not to get too involved because I'm supposed to be working on other things but it is fun right now.

Life Was Not Meant to Be Easy.-Aubrey

I think it is so important to understand that life was never meant to be easy. I have been really struggling lately. Some emotional and some physical, but it is kicking my butt. I have been trying to figure out what I can do to help me, but also properly execute my responsibilities at home as a wife and mother. I have been struggling to even just do the basics without losing my temper or checking out (Aaron has watched quite a bit of tv lately).  I made a check list that is pretty redundant, but it is necessary sometimes with my currant state of mind. It is divided into 4 parts; Personal, Kids, Zach, and Family/House. It has things as little and consistent as prayers and as changing as the specific chores that need to be done that particular day. My checklist haste been a really good way for me to feel like I am getting things done, but also lets me know what I might be neglecting. I noticed this last week that I have put more importance on everybody else so yesterday when I would ...

 Long time no see! Austin and I are finally getting into more of a routine. His class work load is so much easier since switching majors from Mechanical Engineering to Manufacturing Engineering Technology. He's hoping that he might be able to squeeze in a weekend to go hunting this fall, he still needs to call Cameron and talk about it though.  We will be 28 weeks tomorrow, and I am so excited! The weather is starting to cool off, I've got most of our baby stuff washed, organized, and ready to go, and the fall colors are starting to show in the trees! Tonight is our 4/5 hypnobirthing class, and we will be spending the majority learning how to use counterpressure techniques and stuff to help during labor, which I'm pretty pumped about. ALSO, Austin and I both have job interviews on Friday! It's for seasonal positions at Artco (The Occassions Group) making greeting cards for the holidays. They are incredibly flexible with schedules (literally work whenever you want, as th...

 This week is feeling redundant.  I know I still need to get to sleep but I'm so tired of trying and failing so now I want to change my goal.  However, like I said, I still need to get to sleep on time.  So I have as of not yet done much energy work on it and have on many other things which have improved.  Reasons I have failed to use it for this my current goal are many and right now sound like a bunch of excuses so I'm skipping those and today, Monday, am implementing at least one, maybe two techniques.  I will report on any results good or bad and I want progress on this one this week.  I am also going to include it heavily in my prayers, throughout the day if necessary.  This non progress has been the story of my efforts for a long time.  Since I know I'm supposed to focus on it then I am assuming I'm supposed to progress at it.  So here goes this week.  Goals: Planning meeting with God as soon as I am dressed and awake Alarm at...
