So last night I was up blogging at 12:30. And tonight I'm nowhere near sleepy. This is making for a grouchy mommy! I need my sleep!
Tomorrow is a big PTO meeting. We're going to be doing some planning for next year, getting a teacher luncheon together and hopefully coming up with loads of new fun ideas. We are also planning a community service project.
Bryson had a ballgame tonight & boy they rocked! Played so well. He got two very good hits and fielded great too!
Josh is still battling this messy sinus infection. I wish it would rain just one day to help wash away some of this pollen.
I made a yummy chicken pot pie tonight & I cant wait to have leftovers tomorrow. :) hehe!

God is Good!!
Many times, we are quick to think of things we need and/or want and not be thankful for the things God has given us. I'm thankful for so many things right now & Just wanted to post some. Some are little, some are huge.
First and foremost I'm thankful for the Awesome God we serve! Without him we would be nothing. I'm thankful for the opportunity to talk to him anytime I need. Prayer is such a wonderful thing.
Im thankful for an amazing husband. He is m best friend and the best daddy. I dont want to think where i'd be without him. I adore him!
Two wonderful children, they are the sunshine in my life. I love these two more than I ever thought I could love anyone. They are amazing and def a gift and a blessing.
An amazing family and inlaws. I couldnt ask for more! I have a wonderful mother who is always there for me and an awesome sister!
There is more, but one of my cranky blessings need me :) He is so cranky from the medicine the dentist gave him yesterday. Poor babe.

Counting down till Spring Break!
The Variety Show was such a hit! We raised quite a bit of money and had a blast doing it. The Bandstand theme was quite cute and all the teachers put on quite a show! It was well worth the work!
The "theme" for this week seems to be doctors appointments. Carson has a dentist and eye doctor this week. My throat is very scratchy &I'm just hoping to doctor it myself for now.
I dont think I've blogged about it, but we are trying a new church & so far, We LOVE IT! The boys, Josh and I all do. So hopefully this is where we are meant to be. The preacher is wonderful as are the youth & childrens pastors. We really like the people- though we dont know 1/6th of them. LOL!
Friday starts Spring Break & I'm so ready for it. Don't really have much planned but ready to sleep late and catch up on some rest. I just hope the weather will be pretty. Its been rainy and dreary and so yucky. Im ready for warm days and sunshine!
Bryson has his very first baseball game for this year Tonight! I hope he does well. Well, Carson- we wont talk about his baseball experience right now. He's a hoot and just not into it right now. He'd rather blow kisses to mommy or play in the dirt. Its actually quite comical!

Cleaning out..
Spring cleaning must be hitting early! Or maybe its just the fact I have lost a smidge of weight?? Either way, I like it!
I'm home today with the littlest boy. He has a stomach bug I guess. But right now he is laying on my couch watching some cartoons and sipping gatorade. His request. Poor sweetie.
So i'm cleaning out my closet. My biggest problem is what do I do with all these clothes I cant wear? Ebay? Is the shipping worth it? our local consignment shops arent taking anything at the moment. I really dont want to fool with a yard sale to only get 50cents a pair of jeans.
Help?

traffic,faith,life..
Everyday something comes to mind and I think I should blog about it..and then...I forget. Sorry this place has been so boring lately, but I've been doing lots of reading and less blogging.
I did get myself a little present...A PINK Blackberry Pearl! I just downloaded mobile blogging and hopefully that will get me more motivated.
Other things going on in the "E" household, Hubby became a firefighter recently!, He does look awful cute in his turn out gear..LOL!! One of my classes ends next week & i'm so thankful. It's been a very thought prevoking class but the projects are crucial. So time consuming. As a matter of fact, I should be working on my last one now.
My boys are as wonderful as ever. They continue to amaze me and i just love them to pieces. I am such a blessed person & never knew boys could be so much fun!
Yesterday we hopped in the car and spontaneously took off for my old stomping grounds- Rutherfordton. Saw some family we havent seen since Christmas and just had a good time visiting. It was nice, but it makes me realize how much I miss living there. I wish the economy was better there and we would move there. Much to the inlaws and my parents disappointment, it just feels more like "home" than it does here.
Speaking of the Economy, does anyone else get worried and depressed hearing about it? I try not to, but its not easy. God will take care of us and he will provide, we just have to trust in him. Its just the unknown that makes me uneasy. I've seen many people lately who thought their jobs were safe and then the next day they are un-employed. Its quite sad.
I've got some more posts brewing in my mind..hopefully I will get them typed shortly.
* Oh yeah, does anyone know how I can get more traffic?*

Love is in the Air
Valentines,Valentines, Valentines!!!
Flowers, Chocolates, Teddy Bears, etc. PINK OVERLOAD!!
Oh how I love Valentine's Day. We celebrated a week early by spending the weekend in Gatlinburg/ Pigeon Forge with another couple and just getting some R&R.
I want to do something special for the boys though. I was reading on another blog some delicious and quite fun ways to do chocolate covered strawberries. There was even cheesecake covered strawberries. Yum yum.

Well..not back to the Grind just yet!
Took lil man to the doctor...he has Strep Throat.
So another two days plus weekend before we will be back. Still going to Rascal Flatts though..lil man can stay with Daddy!!
I need some help as well..I'm looking for a new skin care regime.
I have acne and scars from teen acne, my skin doesnt get real oily and I'm bad about wearing sunscreen. I've tried Mary Kay Velocity & Timewise and well, I'm kinda meh about it. I need something with a bit of wrinkle help as well. (Ouch not even 1/4 century old and need help with wrinkles..scary).
Help me out, what do you use??

Snow Day...well, whats left that is.
It's been a nice week so far. Monday was MLK day, tuesday a snow day!!! and today is a teacher workday!
I will be back at the daily grind tomorrow. Then Friday is Rascal Flatts & Jessica Simpson concert. I have a feeling, i will either hate or love her. It's kinda up for debate. Though R.Flatts supposedly puts on a great show, so I'm sure that will be well worth it.
I've got lots of things on my to-do list for this month & I'm sure it will be another crazy one. Spring will then bring baseball,baseball and more baseball. Lil one will be playing t-ball & the big one baseball. Should be lots of fun & crazy scheduling, as in true Effler fashion!
School girls are having a indoor- yard sale in two weeks & I can't wait to get rid of a lot of stuff. Hopefully make some money too, as I've seen loads of new clothes I NEED!!! Yeah, need.

So..
Just the other day I had a few different things in my mind to blog about and now...nothing. Can't remember a thing.
Friday, the hubster and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. Wow, it seems like just yesterday we were walking down the aisle. I love him more and more each day & I'm so lucky to be his wife.He is truly my best friend and such a wonderful daddy to our boys! I'm blessed with the most wonderful boys in my life.
Wednesday, the oldest and I are looking forward to going to Bryson City & riding the Polar Express in our pj's. Him, not me. :)
I'm in Christmas shopping heck...I'm stuck on a few more gifts and don't have a clue to what to get some people.
I do love the Christmas Season, just minus a few difficult people to buy for. The bestest and I are planning on taking our three little ones to Bristol Motor Speedway for the Lights they have their and maybe even some dinner out with our little men!
I'm currently doing an interim kinda thing for a 3rd grade class &I love it!!! I'm really contemplating on going on for my Teaching certificate.I'm leaning towards it majorly.
