So I'm sitting here at home chillen with Ethan. I decided this morning that I would start cleaning at 830 every morning and than clean until finished or until 1230pm. Which ever comes first. My house isn't horrible, but it could be alot cleaner. I am seeing that the older I get the more like my mother I am becoming. My house just isn't clean enough of. UGH! So if I do like 4 hours of cleaning every day for a week or two, than after it should only take me an hour a day after that. I've also decided that I'm gonna start doing everyone's laundry on a different day. Like Peanuts on Monday's, Ethan's on Tuesday's, mine on Thursday's and Daniel's on Sunday's.
I have also started to clip cupons and I am watching the ad's before I go shopping for food. I am gonna try and start cooking healthier also. So we are gonna see what all can be done with chicken. Should be intresting.
I attend my first PTO meeting tomorrow. We shall see.
Ethan has a Summer Program on Aug 15th for Summer Camp. It should be intresting. Ethan is to sing. :D
Otherwise life is going good. I'm still unsure of the future, but I am holding to faith that everything will work out how it is supposed to and that we will be okay.
I know it's short and full of nothing, but that's it for today.

Life in General in the home of Shotwell, Williamson & Estes
So I have realized that I haven't posted a blog update anytime lately. So Mack is getting big and is very healthy. As of July 30, 2010 he weighed in at 16.7 lbs and was 26 inches long. We have started to call him Peanut. It's something my father started and it has kinda stuck. LOL. Daniel is still the love of my life though things are stressful right now. Not necessarily between us, but with everything going on. He is still being the best nonhusband a woman could ask for. He's still working two jobs so we can put food on our table and a roof over our heads. I have to say that I am one very lucky lady to have such a wonderful man in my life. Not only does he do this to provide for us, but he tries to take time to spend a couple of minutes with both boys. Ethan is also doing good. He starts school the 23rd of Aug, but he wont actually be starting on that day. The boys and I are taking a trip to Michigan to see family. I would like to get pictures of the boys with their great grandma Shotwell and than a picture with their great great Grandpa Hanks, Dad, myself and the boys. That's four of the 5 generations.
This year could have been a lot worse than it was, but I do hope that the next year is better than this year.
I have done alot of soul searching over the last couple of months. Mainly starting with Peanut being in the hospital. Anyone who knows me knows that I have had major issues with both religion and church, but I have slowly been working on it. Where I still don't think I'll ever go to church I am coming to terms with GOD. I still do not believe that I have to gather with a group of people to be at peace with GOD. I do not need to read a book that has been handed down like a child's game of telephone and than rewritten by a king to suit his needs. I can still keep my own beliefs and thoughts. No one is perfect and everyone sins. I have made my peace with God and he and I are okay with each other.
Leslie Anne and her family have come home and it's freaking KEWL! I have my big sister home. I have missed her terribly. It will only be for a year, but still. I will make the most of it. So far, her and the family are over here one to two days a week for dinner. Sometimes Leslie Anne makes it, sometimes I do.
I have decided that when I get back from Michigan I am going to seriously start getting my fat ass in shape. I'm not healthy and I want to see both my boys walk across their college graduation stage and walk down the isle if that's what they want. But to do that I have to get healthier. Right now I'm amazed that I don't have diabetes or worse. I have started the process again though. I have cut out caffeine soda since Sunday and only 2 cups of coffee. I also have only had one of those little bags of Oreo's as chocolate. I'm gonna give them up again. I am also gonna start using my gym membership that I'm paying for and not using. :( But I will do it this time and I will keep it off. It will just take hard work and determination.
Besides school, I think I'm gonna follow in my fathers footsteps. Though I am giving myself 2 years to publish a book. By my 32nd Birthday I want to publish one of my books.
Well I guess I have ranted enough for one evening and I am tired. So to all my fellow homo sapiens (those who understand what that word means) have a wonderful night.
