Beyond Blessed

This is exactly how I am feeling these days!  To be honest I am overwhelmed by all the positive things in my life.  I believe in God and talk to him daily but I know I am not the best Christian woman and yet he blesses me.  And with 3 healthy kids alone I am beyond blessed.  And then he goes and blesses me again - With a 2 day a week job that I so desperately needed!!  I currently work 2/3 weeks so basically 10 days a month.  Papa watches the boys and he is getting tired.  He has been doing it for 7 years now.  So the 3 day weeks are too much for him and I get it.  So we have had a great babysitter do the Wednesdays but she is going back to school.  And Steve is starting nursing school, which means he will have class and clinical 3 nights a week for the first semester and then 4 nights.  I just cant be at work 3 days a week too.  With only 7 years of seniority I can't believe I got it but I did.  And I know who is responsible for it!!  I used to work in the PACU back in 2013 but got eliminated and bounced around.  So I am going back and so excited.  5 days home with my babies every week.  I only have 2 years left before they both go off to school so I am going to soak it up.  Recovery room here I come!

Why do the Summers fly by?

I swear the Summer goes by way too fast.  But so far we have done the Zoo, Great Wolf Lodge and West Seneca Comunity Days.  We went to the Zoo for Fathers Day and had a great time.

We hit up Great Wolf again.  I cannot say enough about how nice it is every time we go.  This was the first time we went in the Summer.  We usually go in the dead of Winter, aka. December or January and have honestly never even looked outside.  They had such a nice pool outside and bar!  It truly is a resort, complete with a spa.  And the breakfast buffet has Eggs Benedict.  Which is something I HAVE to have on vacation.  It is 30 minutes away for us.  My advice is do not waste any money on splash lagoon or the hour drive.  I always watch Groupon or Living Social - they always have deals.

And I like to start off the Summer carnival season with West Seneca Community Days.  It is always at the end of June and is the first time the kids get to go on rides.  This year was Reid's first time!  

With all this fun we are having - who could think about reading? Well....Me!  I used to read books all the time and somehow, at some time, have stopped.  Life with 3 kids is so crazy but I miss it.  So I'm charging up the ole' Nook and can't wait to start.
