It's me again...Margaret!!!

Side note: I really like Ray Steven's songs!!! They remind me of my childhood. "It's me again...Margaret" is one of his songs.

OK...So!! HOLY COW(no pun intended)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't begin to explain to you just how busy our family has been, but I am going to try!!! Some things I will just skip over and other things I will go into detail about.

So...grab a mug of coffee, cider, cocoa, hot tea whatever your heart desires and snuggle up for a long read!!! For those of you who just look at my blog to see the pictures(Dad) I attached a photo at the end!!!

Back towards the beginning of Sept(you know...back when I blogged last!!!) Patterson decided they were going to change the pay week for our "guys". For those of you who don't know...I work at Patterson, in the Payroll dept. We were paying the "guys" Mon through Sunday every other week. That didn't seem to be "working" or making the "guys" happy, so we changed their pay week to Wed through Tues. Sound simple??? Well...it wasn't!!! There was a lot of time, stress, and energy that went into making the switch!!!

I have to brag on Goose!!! He was wonderful...I was up at work A LOT!!! I have been with Patterson for over a year and a half. In that time I have taken on a lot of responsibilities. With all the responsibilities that I have...I needed to be up at work doing anything and everything that I could to help in the transition. Goose stepped up and took the kids, picked them up, changed them, fed them, bathed them...what ever I asked(and sometimes didn't ask) he did it!! Most of you are probably thinking...He is a Dad that is what he is supposed to do...well he did it without complaining!!! THANKS Babe...I love you!!!

I enjoy what I do!!! Don't get me wrong...I would LOVE to be home with the kids and when Goose comes in and out. But we both feel like I should be working right now!! I am blessed that I like what I do.

That whole process took about 3 weeks!!! Man...that was a LONG 3 weeks.

After that...
We made our way up to Colorado for ANG'S wedding!!! It was beautiful!! She was BEAUTIFUL!!! We had such a good time, but you would never guess how much work went into it!!! The actual wedding had a very laid back feel, which is what she was going for. Ang and Josiah(the groom) had a wonderful time. Josiah is an awesome guy and we are trilled to add him to our family!!! I think Goose is in trouble though!!! Josiah is shaping up to be another "Beaubie"!!!! (More on the wedding later)

Once we returned...I took a breath and thought...awe NOW I can S L O W down!!! NOPE...I failed to mention earlier that in the mist of the payroll switch...we had two girls quit!! You know what that means??? MORE WORK!!!!! I have been playing catch up since we got back!!

The icing on the cake!!!!
Friday...I got a call(right when I was about to start running payroll) from Renea(the kids sitter). Tenley had thrown up and I needed to go pick the kids up!!!!!!! I couldn't get Goose on his cell...So I let my boss know I would be back as soon as Goose could watch the kids!!! Once again Goose stepped up and took care of Tenley ALL day!!! She threw up several more times before it was all said and done!!! I came home(late) bathed the kids...and put them to bed. Once again..no complaining!!! I am blessed beyond measure!!!!!!!

Saturday...Goose and I made a trip up to Abilene. We had a great time!! All was well...we got several things done while we were there!! It has been a while since the two of us got to get away together...it was very nice...lots of laughing!!!!

Sunday...I was sicker than a dog!!!(I don't really get that expression!?!?!) Goose is the one that took care of Tenley....yet I am the one that got sick!!!

I am happy to report that the boys don't seem to have caught the "yucky" bug...Thank you Lord!!!

Here is a cute picture of the kids!!! If you noticed that Miles' outfit looks "girly" it is because he borrowed the top of Tenley's pj's!!! Doesn't the color just bring out his eyes??? HEHE!!! Goose couldn't believe I put him in it!!! WHAT??? It's not like I took him out in pubic!!!


Expect more blogging in the very near future!!!
