I'm thinking of writing a childrens book!

I have always wanted to do this. Even as a child I wanted to write a book. I think that I will start small and write a children's' book. I have so many ideas and I have a friend who can draw anything. I will write the story and ask her to illustrate to her hearts content. I will be sure to let you all now how it is going and let you know when it gets published. ;)

I am very excited about this and I want to get started right away. I will go sit in a quiet spot in the house and start brain storming before I start to write. I also want to send a note to my friend to see if this is something she would be interested in. :)

What do you all think? Have you ever written a book before? Was it published? How was the process?

Fundraiser...Please help!!

We are doing a fundraiser for our Youth group. I will be taking orders for only a week. (til May 19) The proceeds from the sales will go to the youth group and help us to do a lot more activities with the kids this summer. We tend to have a lot of the teens fall off the attendance list during the summer months and we want to be able to have lots of activities to keep them coming to church.

We have 2 items for sale they are the Sea Salt Scrub and the Sugar Slush Scrub. I am adding photos of each in this email. There is a flat $4.00 fee for the shipping and tax. The sea salt scrub is $28 and the Sugar Slush Scrub is $22. Please let me know how many you would like to order. I will send the items to you as soon as they arrive. The items are all natural and from the company Arbonne and superior products. I use them and absolutely LOVE them!

Please support the Calvary Baptist Church, Englewood, FL youth group and our Summer Activities!! Please respond to me ASAP so I can place your order. ( I will need the money by the 22th of May) Send the money in a check written to me (Krystal Brobst) As soon as you know you want to order. Thank you. :) Send me an email for my address to send the money.

Volunteering today..

I am off to the Christian school to watch a couple classes while the teachers have a meeting with parents. I am overseeing the K-5 thru 2nd grades. What fun!

I am also waiting for the exterminator guy to show up (between the hours of 10 and 12!) so I can leave here. I do hope they come soon so I can be on time to volunteer at the school. :)

Swine flu? eek!

I have been feeling a little under the weather recently and with all the hype about the swine flu I got a little worried. I am pregnant after all and I have a compromised immune system.

My daughter is feeling a little sick too but I think we both just have a cold. We are stuffy and have a throat thing going on. No big deal. I am a little scared of going to the park though. You know with all the germs on the equipment I would hate to get anything else going around our house. Am I being unreasonable?

My son is just about finished with homeschooling. My daughter finished last week. yay! Summer break is nearly here!!! Beach without the guilt! lol!

The beach was beautiful!

Boy, we had a nice week.It started last Saturday when we decided to take sometime to head to the local beach and just sit and relax. We watched the kids play in the sand and scream about how cold the water was.(it if FL for goodness sake.How cold could it be? ) Then we went home and I made meatball subs with these yummy polish rolls and some provolone cheese. Yesterday we went to the beach again but this time we headed out to one of the top 10 beached in the US, Siesta Key. It was gorgeous! We packed some snacks so we had plenty to eat and munch on. We had stopped by UC and AJ's for lunch before going to the beach and had a good visit.

One of the reasons we left the house for such a long time away from home on a Wednesday (something we never do as Wed. nights are so jam packed for us) is because we had a tick problem in our house. Yuck! Our dog ran away (again!) and got a tick when the dog catcher caught her her in his dirty truck.Well, she is a large dog and since she had never in all these years had a tick we never thought to check her. Well,one day i started to find ticks allover the place hiding in the crevices of things.It freaked me out.I hate bug but especially ticks.I called the exterminator and they said we probably have a really bad problem because they breed so fast. EWE!!! We asked them to come and kill the bugs.We had to leave the house for 4 hours after they sprayed the house. SO off to the beach! I was a little worried about being in the house after the poison was in it being I am pregnant but the house was not bad smelling when we got home and the company assured me several times it was ok. You would think that because of liability issues they would say no way of there was even a question. Right?

Anyway, I just prayed hard that Nothing would happen to the baby, me or the rest of my family.

Husband has gotten a couple little jobs! Not much right now but soon it will be more. Yay! God is good and will take Care of us. That job I was going to get back with LiveOps (A virtual call center company) did a background credit check on me. I passed the background but failed the credit check! I could not understand this as I passed the last time and I do not have terrible credit. Well, I looked over the credit check and saw a couple names on there that were not mine. I also saw a bunch of addresses of places I was supposed to have lived at and they were never mine.That scared me and I will be checking with the credit bureau about this asap.I hope someone did not open accounts in my name. Man, I never thought identity theft would happen to me.

Sorry I have been so MIA

So sorry, I have been online looking for at home work I can do. It has gotten crazy now. More later.

I just found out today that I got a position with LiveOps again. I am soooo happy. It is a work form home job where I will take calls from clients of LO. I have done this before and I loved it. I can only work late at night after the kids are in bed so please keep me in your thoughts. I need to have a lot of stamina for this. But we need the income right now. My husband is going on 6 weeks of no work. It is tough but we know God provides. I feel God provided this opportunity to me (us) again.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.
