blah blah blah

bear with me, Im learning to link (most of these are from google images and not mine, if you were wondering), so will be an entertaining post, if not for anything than all the links

so its monday and once again, its cloudy and Im affected - Im in a gloomy mood and my office(which looks a bit different now, as does my hair) isnt even near a window, so thats kind of funny... guess I need to get me one of those "jars of sunshine thatisland girlis talking about... well, lets go over the highlights of the weekend...

friday, we went home and spent time with the baby, nothing majorbut a good time was had by all...

saturday, my inlaws (including my brother in law) came over - the men were helping daniel put together our new storage shed while my MIL was helping me inside... she watched gabe so I could actually get some cleaning done... I was really dreading and looking forward to this day, both for the same reason - my MIL was coming over - we do not get along as she is always right and I am always wrong, but at least I could get something done while she watched gabe but it turned out really well, I got alot done - and when gabe took a nap, she helped me in the kitchen - nothing major, but much better than I anticipated... ok, when I say "clean the kitchen" I dont mean just surface mopping and washing dishes I mean, I took everything out of each cabinet, cleaned the cabinet decided if what I took out was worth keeping or getting rid of and then put the "keep" stuff back up all nice and neat ... this also included the fridge - which had never been cleaned out I threw away a large black garbage bag of "stuff" just from the fridge! a few of those included my wedding bouquet and daniel's boutonniere (and we will have been married for three years on february 16, later we went and ate at peppers, which was good, then went home, and started to watch bourne supremacy, me and gabe fell asleep so we went to bed... daniel finished the movie and came to bed (it was 10 when we fell asleep - just to let you know how old Im getting

sunday - got up and went to church (this is actually a pic of my church) came home, I watched gabe, so daniel could work some more on the storage shed, then gabe got suited up for the game (he had his own jersey - pics to come), and we all watched the super bowl together... loved gwens commercial of course, and the butt kissing monkey was priceless

this week is going to be very busy and I cant say that Im honestly looking forward to it... (have to quit linking now, or this post will never get done)
monday - nothing really today - mom is coming over after work, but thats pretty standard - I have no idea what to make for dinner, and there is literally nothing in our fridge... I need to get better at this whole "mom" thing

tuesday - we have a meeting at church to talk about the kids, and I have to talk to the leader about something Im really upset about (more to come on that, probably later) - nothing she did, but still something I need to address

wednesday - ash wednesday & the service that accompanies this that night - I am looking forward to this, since most everyone reading this is baptist and you dont celebrate lent, then you probably have no idea what Im talking about... as promised, that lent post will be up soon

thursday - nothing too special that I know of...

friday - daniel is leaving me and gabe for the weekend... he is the youth director at our church, so he is taking a few of the boys to a conference over the weekend, none of our girls are going, so I dont get to go either... Im seriously dreading this day - he is leaving at 3, which is before I get off work at 5 (Im thinking of taking the afternoon off so I can soak up as much daniel as possible)... it will be longest weve been apart since weve been married (only spent one night apart before), and monday is v-day and our anniversary is wednesday... I dont know, just makes me sad - but I guess everything will be ok sunday night... gabe and I will be staying with my grandparents, which should be fun, but I will still miss my husband...

so not too good of an outlook on this week for me... but things never really do turn out as you plan them, so things could always look up... amanda, can I borrow your jar?

*note to self and anyone else reading - linking takes forever...
