Hello Friends...
Yes, its been quite some time since I last posted... what can I say besides I'm sorry friends! I'm a slacker maybe? No its just been super crazy!!
So to update you all on the current events of the Millers :) Jer had his boss (from Switzerland) and a co-worker (from Texas) come to Iowa last week. So that was eventful :) My hubby was home but he wasn't... if you know what I mean?
As far as the boys are... they are NEEDY this summer... want want and want, jeesh somedays I'm ready to ship them back to school. Blade has been a true pill the last few days ... MOODY Blade, he needs to sleep more instead of getting up early to get outside to play otherwise he needs to do the nap thing again :) Can you tell I am a bit stressed with my kids lately??? They are truely wonderful kids and love of my life but somedays WOW!!!
Ok so Monday I had my routine physical ... and well they checked my blood pressure. Usually its LOW ... it was kinda on the HIGH side... freaked me out so I just need to chill a little bit and accept things the way they are going with life in general and the usual house crap... just want my life to be NORMAL again!
Yes LIS LIS is stressed OUT!!! It will get better soon, right?
Typical week at the Millers lately, just really wanting to get things done at the house as soon as possible, I am seriously to my MAX level with it all - just want it to speed up so I can have my house. Getting tired of constant decisions and planning and bodies... I'm still waiting for my countertops! The guy we are dealing with is a COMPLETE IDIOT!!!! Giving me the complete run around, ARGH! Just tired of all the drama that goes on that gets things accomplished at our house.
So weekend was here and it passed us by again. Mitchel went on his annual summer trip with his grandpa to Tomah. He had a great time. Issac and Blade joined a birthday party for Mitchel T. in DBQ Sat. afternoon and spent the night with the Tigges, they had a great time. Thank you Ron and Jenn!!!! It meant more than you will ever know!!!!! Saturday am Jer and Issac were off to paint ball in Bankston for a 'part' of his brother's bachelor party, they had a good time. Saturday evening Jer was at Randy's party at Miller Flats... he was hurting on Sunday :)
Saturday was a busy day for me as well :) what other way would it be for Lis??? SERIOUSLY? I helped Tammy in the morning, rushed home to do some laundry and a few things before it was time to take Blade to the bday party, then I was off to a friend's wedding til about 530ish then I rushed home to get changed for the night to go to my 'future sister in-laws' bachelorette party. The evening was interesting... details in person :) Biggest pet peeve of mine is "unorganization" and well I felt like this night fell into that category. I know I know don't pass judgement but just irritated me a little... judgement was passed on me that evening and pissed me off!... so here is the story ...
Ok so for the night ending I stopped drinking like at 12ish something... and probably only had 4-5 drinks (diet pepsi and amaretto and one beer) total for the night and did not get back to my vehicle until 2ish ... and I was completely FINE and together and was able to drive. For some to question me about not being able to drive myself home was offensively taken, I mean seriously! I am 32, a mom of 3 boys and to question my capability... was WRONG! And for the matter that I am TOTALLY against drinking and driving! I wouldn't of drove home if I thought I had too much!!!! ARGH! People just should not pass judgement on me when they weren't doing to good themselves... ya know?
Anyhow enough bitching about my life stories! Hope this finds you all well! I'm off to a new me starting tomorrow! Joining a weight loss group in town... I've gotta do something since I hate how I look :( Things will be ok just need to let go sometimes. Thanks for all your concerns of my whereabouts since I haven't posted in like FOREVER! I know pictures... but for some reason I can't get them to post :( techincally difficulties...need my hubby's help :)
Have a great weekend since I won't blog before that again ;)

Its finally here :)
Hi Everyone ~
My (well our) kitchen is finally here, real cupboards! We waited 9 very long months for it to get here and well its here! YAY!!!!
We had a few minor problems with it but its all better now that its day 3 of kitchen building ... and well its BEAUTIFUL if I must say myself, its exactly what I was 'visioning' but its not complete just yet. Billy finished wiring tonite so the appliances come in tomorrow and then hopefully the templating of our granite will be done on Friday. I also found the refrigerator today finally... just too many options I was looking for ... so this is all GOOD! We will have to wait for that to get in, but piece by piece it will be done soon and it will be great! Just have to keep thinking the positive thoughts and not dwell on the negative... Its just I wanted one thing to go absolutely right with no problems for once... well that was shot to hell :( but its ok.
Ok busy week here as you can see with the kitchen coming in and making little decisions, I just don't like the 'pressure' of making the 'final' decision without Jer being here. Wish we could of planned his trip for this week a little better is all.
I got a LOT of things done this week, stayed up most of Monday night just doing laundry and cleaning out my closet... think I did like 8 loads and then the next day washed all the beds, good jobs done! I got 2 out of 3 boys closets accomplished today and will finish up the last one tomorrow... Never ending here! I hate messy closets and messy rooms... cracking down on my boys to keep things picked up this summer, I just feel like they can pitch in and help everyday this summer do a few things before they go out to play... mean mom I know but responsibility is so important for them to learn more of for everyday living.
Today was the boys last day of school. They could not wait to be done! So now they are 'free' as Issac would say for 12 weeks. It will go so fast so we need to start planning our summer out soon! Not really sure what we will do but hope to do a lot of small trips with them. This afternoon I had to run into DBQ. so we all went in and got the two older boys some shorts and shirts for the summer. WOW they are growing up into their own person FAST!!! Mitchel is getting just as picky as Issac is.
Which is just as bad as me :( Yep they got that trait from me!!! Mitchel really wanted a few new pairs of 'jean shorts' ... well no where had them seriously! Must be out for this season...
Well its close to 10pm and I want to finish up what I started today... organizing the attic cubbies, and I am only at 1/2 way point so I best get movin'...
Hope you are all well, if you are out this weekend... stop in the Millers if we are home to see our newest creation!

Oh My Goodness...
Hello World,
I haven't posted in like FOREVER! Geesh! I apologize to all my readers... just been super crazy! I will fill you in all the latest events.
Backing up to last week... Lets see on Sunday evening we had a grill out at our house with some friends and sat around the fire.
It was a laid back evening and it was great seeing you all again! Mel, you are a riot... when you are feeling good :) Monday, we took the kids to the movie, Shrek 111, it was ok, nothing great but Blade did like it. The boys were back to school on Tuesday... they were dragging in the am, just didn't want to get up and get going, it is SO time for school to be done! This week was Blade's last week of school, and they will have a school picnic on upcoming Tuesday, then he is done. The older boys last day is on Wednesday. YEAH!
Last week was a productive week for Lis Lis :) I helped our finishing lady, Janet sand all the trim work in the foyer, mudroom, and area by staircase. We got it all done and now its ready to be stained and varnished. I'm not sure that will get done this week since Janet has a painting job lined up for this week so I will wait for her to come back and we will do it then... I just don't feel comfortable doing it alone yet. Although, my housekeeping didn't get stayed on top of this week so I am really really far behind on the laundry and well the dusting issue again! Hope to get it all done tonight!... yep I am staying up late tonight and getting most of it done since its driving me nuts!
We had a busy busy weekend this weekend. WOW! Friday I dont remember what I did during the day besides help Janet.
Friday evening we had Blade's preschool program/graduation. It was SO adorable! We were cracking up laughing at Blade because he was just being so cute up on stage, as well as the other little kids. I can't believe how well they did for it lasting two hours. I thank all of our family and friends who could make it, it meant a lot to us. After Blade's program we took the boys home and got the settled for the evening and Jer and I were off to Houli's and a movie, the part of the weekend I look forward to the most! We were rushed though since the movie was starting at 9:50... and we left at 9ish and were going to eat yet, but we did it! We saw the movie "KNOCKED UP", absolutely hilarious!!!! I loved it!!!!! I recommend it to you all to pay the $ and go see it in the theater, you will laugh the entire movie :) Thank you Jer for taking me to the movie... I didn't think it was out yet...
Ok now to Saturday... well it was a day full of 'bridal showers' for Lis Lis... ICK! Seriously the whole day! 1st shower was for Tina, Jer's brother's fiance' beginning at 10am. I went with Julie (my other future sister inlaw ) and my nieces to both showers so spending time with them was really nice. I just felt really uncomfortable at this shower and totally felt out of the loop... which is sad when this is family. Oh well! The shower was over close to 12:30 so Julie and I packed up the girls and headed to the next shower, which was Jer's cousin's finance', again the typical shower, good food, and games but it seemed like it lasted forever... so this shower was over close to 4:00. Yep a whole day at showers! Jer was gone for the day too he went with his dad and brothers to get fitted for tuxes and then they went golfing, he got back about 5ish. Blade spent the day at Grandma Steffen's house, Mitchel went tractor pulling, and Issac was off bike riding with Quinton.
Saturday evening, we had told Tammy a while ago that we would go to the Canton Rodeo with her and her boyfriend. So we left for that about 6:00. WOW was that a different night but it was good fun! It was raining but then it would stop, then rain again but we did get to watch some of the rodeo. Jer was drinking BEER ... yeh BEER! He started drinking the beer while he was golfing and then drank more beer later in the evening, crazy but funny :) since he doesn't like beer it was weird seeing him drink it, ya know? OK so I was feeling it rather quickly since I didn't eat a whole lot throughout the day... yep about 4 beers got me:( buzzed... and then well I was drunk :( oh man oh man!!! So drunk I agreed to get on a bull riding thing with Tammy, the biggest waste of $10.00 ever! I knew I couldn't do it and well I was right, I was off in less than a minute, pathetic I know!! oh well a memory for memory lane later on in life :)
Now today... well I had shower to attend, this was a baby shower for Jeremie's cousin, then we had Mitchel's soccer game at 3pm. Then we were off to a graduation party for Jer's cousin, and during the party I took off and drove Jer to the airport and went back to the party for awhile so the kids could play and I could visit for a bit. A full day of running and not getting anything done at home again :( so when the boys and I got home tonight we started clearing out our 'make shift' kitchen... and preparing for the REAL one to come in tomorrow :) YEAH!!!!! Doug (our cabinet maker) called today and said he would be here tomorrow to start installing it... not sure how the process works or when it will be completely done but its FINALLY happening starting tomorrow :) YEAH!!!
Lots going to happen this week at house, kitchen being installed is HUGE! We've been without a kitchen for almost 9 months! and we are very much looking forward to this! I am pretty sure Dustin is going to trim out the dining room this week since he was waiting for the kitchen to come in. Our upcoming weekend looks busy too... housewarming party and graduation party to attend. Our weekends for the summer are pretty much booked with something going on each weekend... CRAZY but thats life!
Anyhow I am going to close for now and get my butt moving! I want to accomplish a lot tonight and its already 11:30.
Hope you are all well!
