Waking up to no more chaos...

I've been working on getting the house better organized because I'm not a born organized person. I have been letting a neighbor girl come in to help out as of late and she is a tremendous help but I'm not sure how I feel about her yet.
Hubby says It's all up to me because I'm the one who will deal with her the most, and I'm the one who is with NikiRhe the most. I can't stand leaving my daughter for longer than maybe a date night, and I have a mother who would keep her for free just to let us have some privacy every week.Well prayer is what I need. I know this young lady needs guidance and she needs love and affection.

So I'm attempting to help someone other than myself and tomorrow she may be entering a program that will help her grow into something much better. She is a good girl she just needs some serious christian therapy.

Taking time to spend quiet time with my daughter.

I love it! Having quiet moments with her is so important. We've been consistent in our daily bible study thus far and I'm determined to not let anything keep us from doing it everyday. 

She loves to play games and is very imaginative!

here is has created a hammock and is playing. She's so much fun!

A camera ham!

She wouldn't be still for anything! LOL 

Cuddling with "rie" Marie from Disney's  Aristocats

Snuggle time with momma. She loves this picture and every time she sees it she says" Momma, momma, ---Nini, nini...look momma...NINI!! lol She calls herself Nini because she can't say her K's yet. 

I just took this one and the first one today. She is such a sweetheart. Thank you Lord for knowing what we needed in a child! She is my heart!

Conquering the Day

Today we will set out to accomplish a few things that need to be taken care of. NikiRhe and I will start out with some bible study and breakfast then off to the market and bank. We will have an extra person with us today as I'm trying out a young lady who wants to be our nanny. I'm still not sure I really need a nanny per se, I mostly need someone who can come give me a hand with the housework so that I can try and get some work done.

She did a good job yesterday and she did help get the main things cleaned up yesterday. She is going to be tagging along with us today to see how I do things. I am going to have to have a chat with her about her attire around my house however. I prefer that she not dress like a slob and she has very large breasts and doesn't wear a bra..THAT drives me NUTS!!! Well anyhow...

I think I'm going to take some time for ME in our room and just rest and maybe read.

Have a Blessed day!

Adjusting ....

I'm learning to adjust to having someone in my house asking me questions. I mean I know she's new and she's here to help but sometimes I want you to take a little initiative to do things you see need to be done. Now I must give her props for picking up the living room and loading the dishwasher but something tells me the dishes aren't going to get clean because she loaded it improperly. Oh well I guess I'll adjust. I just need to make some lists and hope that she is a fast learner. She needs prayer for sure because she is not a Christian and I know I am taking a risk with having her here. But something told me she needs a Godly woman to influence her. So I'm going to pray for her every day and ask the Holy Spirit to guide me in dealing with her.

I wonder if I'm going to regret not hiring a professional but time will tell!

Working from home has it's advantages and disadvantages. I have a lot of clutter and it needs to be dealt with. However I am here with my daughter and that is my JOY. I have a lot of personal growth to work on. That means That I'm going to have to start by eliminating negativity in my life. NO MORE NEGATIVE NANCY'S OR NED'S ALLOWED IN MY HOME OR LIFE!

I've got to start getting ORGANIZED! I'm going to use the two weeks while my hubby is in FL to get the house organized! He is going to take our laptop with him even if he doesn't have a webcam and at least be able to see his girls.
When he comes home The house will be Organized and looking like it's ready for a business to grow as well as a family too. I'm going to have the new nanny/housekeeper help with this undertaking and get this house in tip top shape. ... Well it's off to make some lists so this house can get healthy!  

Welcoming New Life...

Today my sister Kristina had her 7th child. He was kind of small only 6lbs and 7oz and tall at 21 1/2 inches long. This will be the only child she will actually be raising as she walked away from 5 and allowed us to adopt the 6th.
I love the Idea that people want to have large families... but if you are going to be a mother who wants to be pregnant a lot and bring so much life into this every worsening world then at least be WOMAN enough to RAISE all your children. Don't walk out on your babies while they are in daycare and never come back. Those poor children are going to have years of therapy ahead to learn to forgive you for that kind of selfish treatment!

I am so very thankful for the fact that my sister decided that God was leading her to have us adopt her 6th child. I am grateful that my sister chose to allow US to be the parents to our beautiful daughter because I feel she was created to be mine.
I pray that growing up she doesn't feel cheated out of her siblings since none of them know about her and she will grow up with them as her cousins.

I will just leave it all in G*d's hands. I know he knows whats best and if He grows our family even BETTER!!! :o)
