I have unsucessfully tried to catch up this blog three times and my pictures won't load so FORGET IT. I will just write. So since over a year ago. HMMM I was pregnant so now I have a second child. Emma Lee Mills so beautiful and she is 7 months old. Justin has been adapting to all the change of moving and new sister better than me. I am sucessfully having melt-downs at least once a month. I feel alone and overwhelmed with learning to effectively disipline Justin. I never believed I would have this much trouble. It is bringing up issues I thought were long gone.
We are trying to close on a house so guess what moving again. I don't want to pack at all and haven't started. Worst of all this week my sewing machine is getting serviced and I can't take it. I am in withdraw and getting annoyed. It is horrible. Plus I have picked up with sales in my store (horray) and I can't do any orders until the service is done (boo). I am also trying to prepare for my first craft fair. RRRR.
Emma is a great little girl. I love dressing her up and making her clothes. Justin is 2 almost 3 so what can I say. Most of you have gone though that age. Then you realize you have no idea what you are doing and supposingly effective disipline involves no yelling or flustration. HA. Who are these people that can do this? I can see maybe being sucessful if I have only one child and gave up every hobby and enjoyment I have while he is awake. But I am having so much trouble. I did have a whole day yesterday where I did not yell at Justin. He did get time out and such but half of me wonders if it was because I was so tired I could not physically yell. Today they are both really tired and I can't get Justin to stay still so he can sleep. He was up most of the night and I am reaping the benefits of that today.
I am really excited about our new house and can't wait to have a yard and a actually really nice house. We have no improvements we have to do, everything has been updated. We have a nice back porch that can easily to closed in one day since it is partially closed already. 1/4 an acre for the kids and dogs to play and for me to start a vegetable garden. The yard already has bananas and an avocado tree and Pete wants to add a mango tree. There were some roof damage and no washer and dryer but no reason to not buy the house. Oh and the ac is acting up but that is what the home warrantly is for. If dies it gets fixed or we get a new one for $50 and if it dies before we get in the seller has to fix it because it was working at inspection. We may add new windows thoughout the house to save on electric and may get hurricane glass.
We are all healthy, physically anyway, and we love each other. So when you look at our blessings we are doing doing well. I need to remember that alot lately.
I miss Laura (Daniels) alot. Her not being here has had a greater impact than I could have imagined. It is odd not to see her sitting in front of me on Sunday. It is odd to read her blog and realize she is not in the same city anymore and I can't drive over to talk when I need too (which has been alot lately). I am happy for her though because I know the move was best for them.
My husband comes home at lunch almost everyday and I am glad he is here. For his patience and love for me. It is a great honor to be married to him.

Hey, I made it onto your blog. Sorry you are having some challenging times. I have to say, I think the hardest time is age 3 (maybe a little before too). Who is my hardest kid for me right now? The three year old. They are smart enough to know so much and communicate, yet they are not emotionally mature enough to do what you need them to do... and they are stubborn, and irrational. I'm sure you will make it through, especially once you have a yard and nicer weather.
