I have had a couple of overwhelming weeks. I haven't found the time to blog alot. I have been really stressed out and I have taken sometime to change something that weren't working.
My kids are going threw a huge whinning stage and I think I am going to lost it one day and just leave. I dont know how it got so bad but we have been trying so hard to quickly change this behavior. I think what I am going to do is give a warning and then send them straight to their rooms. Hopefully that helps because seriously I can't handle it much more!
To my surprize work has just kept coming. I have had more session then I have ever had and I finally made the desision to hire on someone to do my editing for me. I just can't keep up and really I dont want to keep up I want to be with my family more but i still have to work so this is the best solution for me. I think it will still be several months before I can get someone trained good enough to do a great job but it is a start. She will also do alot of my paperwork for me which is all very tedious and time consuming. That bad news in this all is that I will be raising my price just a bit to compinsate for the addition to my company. I try to keep my rates reasonable and I know alot of my friends think i totally over charge but I need to make it worth my time.
I FINALLY got my brouchers into Dr. Lunts office...yep after almost 6 months they are there. It was actually so easy I dont know why I was so scared to do it. I have alread had calls from them and I think it will be a great thing for my business.
I also have been working on a new blog, which is the reason for the lack of pictures lately! I wanted to seperate my business post with my regular crazy life post so go check out my new photo blog...
ohhh and....I have had so many request for my birth announcement templates I thought I would give selling them a try they are at ...
Just and I had a little brake threw, or we have come to an agreement. He has been obsessed with a stupid video game thingy called warcraft. You play it on the computer...it is lame and childish and I have been really mad about it mainly because he plays it from the moment he gets home untill he goes to bed and he has stopped helping me with all of the house stuff. We have an agreement that both of us work and when we are both home we share the reasponcibilites so this new obsession is huge problem for me. I can barely keep up as it is, I need his help. So we talked and he felt really bad about how stressed I have been and for not helping out as much. He is not playing as much and when he palys he sits in the office with me so that we can still talk and spend some time together. compromise.
I hired a housekeeper. Yep I am spoiled. I have always felt like that was my reasponcibility and that it would be so wrong for me to pay so one to do my job....well I am so over that those thoughts. WHO CARES? My house is clean, I dont have to scrub the tolets, I am happier about it all and I only have to pay her $100 a month. Yep life is good!
and the best news of all...we bought a new car...well its a SUV. I am so glad to be rid of our car. It has done it time and now I am ready to move on. We decieded to go with a Toyota Sequoia...04'...tan...custom leather...dvd play....ahhhh. I dont want to brag but I am just so excited. My other car had been threw the ringer. It had paint and crayon on the seats, a hole in the muffler underneith the front part of the car that made me sound like a had a hot rod. It also had an oil leak that was going to cost over a grand to fix so whenever I can to visit anyone I had to park on the road so I wouldn't drip all over their driveway. It was just in sad shape and yes a 8 passanger vehicle is very exsessive for us right now BUT we are going to have other babies and I like to keep my cars for a long time...get good use out of them ya know so we made the leap and upgraded!
I will post pictures this week, I have lots to post and I have posted a couple on my new blog so go check it out!

Oh so jealous of the housekeeper! I have an issue with feeling like it's my responsibility too that I desperately need to get over. Sorry about the whinning kids, that is sooo hard. Mine definately do more than their fair share of it and on days it is really bad I just want to lock them in their rooms and leave! I never would of course, but I know the feeling. Congrats on the new car, that's exciting for you, and congrats that your business is so prosperous!!
nice work on the car
Wow Kellie!
Congrats on the new car. Yay for you and Justin on the compromise.
You probably don't want to know my methods for changing the whinging... just know that whatever you try, it will probably get worse in the beginning, as they fit it.
CONGRATS on your new car! New cars are always fun!!! And your choice is such a nice SUV! I bet you're just giddy! So glad to hear things are on 'the up and up' with you guys!
Miss your guts!

Kellie! You are such a busy person. I really think it is great for you to finally realize thta you can't/don't have to do everything yourself. I'm glad that you are getting help with editing and cleaning your house. You totally deserve a new car!!
Kellie,
Hey that is way exciting about your car, new employee and housekeeper. You're movin' on up! Way to go!
The kids whinning is hard. Ashlee went through that stage and it was difficult. I have a few tips if you want them. But your doing great - just don't give up!
Love ya,
Jenny
