Is it too late to apologize?

I would like to take this opportunity to apologize to anyone and everyone that I was around as a teenager. My lovely and wonderful daughter is showing me what I must have been like as one. Moody. Snappy. Bursting into tears for ABSOLUTELY no reason at all! I'm sure that this is normal though. Right? All, or at least most, teenagers are moody and irritable. Shouldn't they make a pill for this or something. Not for them, but for the parents. A coping mechanism?!?! It's very frustrating. I probably owe the biggest apology to my parents. Although my brother would say that I owe it to him I'm sure. =)Raising my own kids has made me aware of all the mistakes that I remember making as a kid. Or the way too many times that I didn't pick up my shoes or actually put away my laundry instead of stuffing it under my bed. All the times that I was upset about stupid things. Like Guess jeans. (Long story) The stupid and petty fights with my parents over nothing at all. I love my kids greatly. Just like my parents love me. They made it through the teens years. I'm sure that I will too. I'm just not looking forward to it...

Lost

The last few months of my life have been crazy. Busy. Stressful. Fun. Evolving. But it's over. The house is done. I don't have that routine of waking up and thinking about what needs to get done that day reguarding the house. Putting out the fires of what couldn't get accomplished or had to be changed. Stressing over where to put phone jacks or how square a wall really is. Then rushing home to play the role of mommy and catching up on everything that didn't get done during the day that is due tomorrow. Homework. Ball games. Quailty time with my kids. It never ends.

Now things are back to "normal". A new kind of normal. A boring normal. Boring to me at least. The last few boxes were unpacked this morning. Closets are starting to be organized. Everyone is settling into this new normal. But I have to admit. I feel a little lost. My project of building our house is over. Now what? Don't get me wrong. I'm enjoying my cuddle time with Sadie and just relaxing in the fruit of my work. But I'm getting bored. I need a new project. I need a new passion. A new something. Something to bring me back from feeling lost. Any ideas?

Have you missed me?!?!

It's been a long, busy, crazy, insane month since I've posted!!! We are finally moved into our new house. Record time too! 1 week short of 5 months. How crazy is that!?!?! Here are a few pics of the final product.

The basement before furniture was moved in.

The kitchen jsut after the kids got on the bus this morning.

Ms. Princess Sadie's room. Notice that there is no bed. She is sleeping in our room until Craig gets more comfortable with her being further away. =)

Cody's room. Can you tell that he is an OU Sooners fan? My mom made the headboard. She did an awesome job. Still need to hang up some pictures and a clock in his room.

I'll post some more pictures when I get time next week. And when the girls have thier rooms cleaned!

Happy Birthday Halie!!!

Happy birthday to a sweet wonderful and very helpful daughter! Love you so much Halie!!!!
