I hope you all had a fabulous Thanksgiving, whether it was with your family or your friends. :)
Mike's parents came after all :) Mike and I made a delicious lunch if I do say so myself. :)
Alex, Mike, and his parents ran to Bass Pro Shop so I have been putting clothes away :) I am thankful that job is done :p
As soon as they get home we are busting out the SURPRISE Gingerbread House Kits. :)
Samantha woke me at 4:30 this morning...I wonder if I am in training for Black Friday shopping.
3am 4:30am..my eyes are burning. :P I think his parents might be spending the night and if they do I am thinking she would like to hit the Saint Louis stores. If she wants to, I can do it. :)

Mike is working on getting our Wii fixed, AGAIN. We got it last Christmas and it has already been sent in for repair..and we have no idea why it went capoot again. :/ The Amish. I always admire them more and more when our "toys" cause us more trouble than they are worth.
On the other hand, without technology, I wouldn't be able to keep up with you all like this..so .....yea...soapbox silencing now. :P
I have been slowly working on the house today...it has been one of my 3am days.. I got up and I had not done the dishes before bed last night ( I think that was my first time since the "houseclean") so I started the dishwasher and a load of laundry...and then went through ANOTHER box of Lord knows what...and switched the laundry, piddled...and around 6 decided I was ready for a nap..but then my boys woke up so that killed that idea. :p
We Zumba-ed...My neighbor was the only girl to show up, which was absolutely fine with me :) She felt bad that I had to stay for just her and I am like "ARE YOU KIDDING??? WE GET TO DANCE!!!!" :) it was so funny..she has danced with me before so she knew a lot of the songs so we were dancing having full blown conversations..lol ( I guess I wasn't working her hard enough if we could still talk :P)
I was wanting to ask my neighbor to film my next DVD but I am thinking I might just do it myself, either tomorrow or Friday...we'll see. :) Just a thought. :)
Mike's parents MIGHT be coming over tomorrow. I called his mom today to see what they were doing and she said absolutely nothing because both of her daughters have their own thing going on with their spouses and we had our own thing going on so I told them they are MORE THAN WELCOME here. :) I told her I wouldn't be doing a traditional dinner because I don't roll like that...
I told Mike what I did and he decided he wants a traditional dinner. :) so we got a turkey breast..I will do the mashed potatoes, the marshmallow yams, the stuffing, Velveeta mac-n-cheese for the kiddos, and of course, pumpkin pie..I will make the shipped topping because I LOVE it fresh..mmmm mmmm. :) Alex wanted to make the pie but they are $5 at WalMart. :P
I am trying to talk Alex into going to a Zumba class with me in the a.m. It's called Workout before you Pork out. :P lol
I also want to take her to see a movie Friday...I think it is called Burlesque or something like that...I should GOOGLE the spelling but I don't feel like it :)
oh my gosh I have Sam reading in my ear, Alex yelling at me..I am OBVIOUSLY trying to blog and so on and so on.I should go..before I Freak out. :)
oh yea, I am thankful for my many blessings. :) :) :)
I wish you could have seen the exchange that just happened between Siler and Alex..PRICELESS!

and I take back what I said about my hair
I was upset disappointed...I thought I knew exactly what I wanted....but as it turns out..she gave me what I didn't know I needed. :) It's shorter than I had desired but I have received compliments out the wazoo about it...and if I were to be completely honest with myself...the "longer" hair was NOT flattering on me. I just kept thinking "if it gets even longer, it will look better"..I think that worked for me when I was younger and I didn't know how to style my hair... SO! Yay for my hair lady :) I may have just found MY style.
holiday plans
Thanksgiving..we are thinking TANGLED the movie in the a.m. and then I am thinking about buying 5 Gingerbread house kits..I saw them at Trader Joes...and doing those in the evening.
Alex has requested chinese take out for Thanksgiving lunch...why not???? :)
Christmas, have no plans yet...
but NEW YEARS!!!! One of my favorite red heads is coming to visit me for the first time!! I am SOOOOO excited!!!! For those of you that follow her blog, it's MOMSGONEGODLY :) YAAAAAAAYYYYY :)
I told her I would spoil her and her children rotten while they are here...and I think she is going to get to go to one of my Zumba classes with me :) I am so excited :) I know we will do the Arch...and the rest? we can chill, we can shop..whatever! It will be Fabulous! I know it!
That being said...it has thrown me even more into OPERATION HOUSE TOGETHER mode. :)
I am calling it...GET THE HOUSE TOGETHER BEFORE 2011 :) and it is coming together beautifully :)
I am beyond thankful for my friend who gave me her Saturday to help me. :) I need to call and get her and her family on my calendar for dinner. ( her daughter requested mac-n-cheese and her son, cinnamon toast crunch :P)

I don't feel well today. That is what I get for not taking care of myself :/
I hope I recoop by tomorrow morning..the boys have school and I have Zumba.
I am wanting to paint a desk for the young girls. They are getting a computer in their room. It will not have internet access but they can play games on it.
Mike and I went to the neighborhood progressive dinner..I met a couple that has been honeymooning for 63 years. They are precious..Jim and Jeanne(sp?) They were my favorite couple to meet. My other favorite was (I don't remember her name!!!!!) and her husband, Lonnie. They moved here from Florida 10 years ago. He worked for Anheiser Busch..until 9/11. After 9/11, he realized he worked 80 hours a week and didn't know his daughters or who their teachers are and he walked away from that job. I had tears in my eyes, of course!
She is beautiful and glowing...they are expecting baby #3..a boy :) They have two daughters....she is a director for a challenged kids organization and she loves it...she has strawberry blonde hair and ya'll know I have a thing for red headed women! :) :) :)
I am going to go grab a tall glass of water, have you had any lately ?? :) :) :) Have you ZUMBAed lately??? or EVER???? :) :) :) :)
I am in the process of learning several songs...that could be a part of my exhaustion. :P lol...well, good night friends...xoxoxxo

it's gone....

POST 100 :)
I should have taken a picture...
I walked in my bathroom and it looked like I had ONE hard nipple but it was WAAAAAY over, like close to my armpit..I was like WTHECK??????
well, the bras I bought when I was marathon training have an inner and outer bra in one...and SOMEHOW a POPCORN KERNEL got in between the layers. :p

I spent a good part of the morning learning a new Zumba song..then I went to transfer it to my MP3 player and it wasn't in my computer...so I went to get the CD and it wasn't in my folder!!! UGH!!!! I hope it's in Mike's car!!! But then I had to go back and learn ANOTHER song!!! the first song was slow and lots of lunges...the second one is pretty good pace...both salsas...I hope my girls like them..and I hope I get the music soon. :) (sorry if this was all confusing, it's all I got. :P ) LOL

since our house clean up on Saturday..
the boys have climbed in Mike's chair with a book to read.
the main level has remained tidy with little work..(I still have not "CLEANED" it..but when I decide to, it won't be a chore in itself to get to it)
the 4 youngers and Mike and me played "hot" football in boys' bedroom...lots of fun and no stress because downstairs was tidy.
I made a recipe (mango salsa)...in the tidy kitchen, without stress..
the girls have been doing nightly Bible devotions because the house is so peaceful , they can....(and without me recommending it which makes me sooooo happy)
mornings have gotten better..
now, I know it is only Wednesday..but I have accomplished a lot upstairs while maintaining the main level and frankly, between the house "tidying" and Zumba....I am tired...I will keep you updated on the house when I actually maybe implement some type of house "cleaning"...
our front dining room is so nice...my job is to go to the basement and find this thing we want to hang on the wall...it was given to me by someone very special...we used it over our bed in Fort Smith but we never hung it here because we were waiting for our room to ..well, WE HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED ON IT IN 3 and 1/2 years!!! so we are using this 3 candle holder thing in our dining room..it will practically be the first thing people see when they walk in so I better get some pretty groovy candels :) lol
we are going to our first neighborhood progressive dinner this weekend...be social, meet neighbors..it sounds like I could get into it :)
I need water..gonna run. :)

It's one of those 2am days....I hope I am able to fall back asleep at some point.
Yesterday a girlfriend came over at 11am...we didn't waste time and got to work...and worked 8 hours straight....on my house...I thought I had come a loooong way (and I have) but didn't realize how much farther I had to go...OH MY GOSH!!!!
Basically I was setting myself up for failure..I had some of my "office" here and some there and some on my headboard and some in my laundry room and she made me an office outside my bedroom door, at the top of the stairs...I would have NEVER thought of it!!!! It's crazy how it fits and I WOULD HAVE NEVER THOUGHT OF IT!
She decided that the pencil sharpener DOES NOT go next to the TV in the front room and nailpolish DOES NOT go in the bread cabinet....:/ AND she semi-permanently ATTACHED the brush to the bathroom sink!!! We will NOT hunt for it in the a.m. EVER AGAIN!!!! hallelujah!
I will post pics soon but, even though I woke at 2am..I am soooo zonked and my body is too tired to reach over and grab my camera and snap the picture and upload it.
I have a furniture store in my front room...and wait until you see the load leaving this Tuesday....I don't think my 7 bags last week measure up!!! AND I AM STILL NOT FINISHED!!!!!!!
Zumba is going great..better than great...it's awesome, amazing!!!
I need addresses e-mailed to me robbieniccum@charter.net if you are wanting a DVD....OLUVR, and SASSY, yours should arrive Monday...so far I only have 30 minutes and the DVD is not fabulous...but I should have an hour one coming shortly :)
well, I have more to say but I won't. :) Just know that I am making SLOOOOOOOOOOW progress in my healing and forgiving department...but it is progress. :P
xoxoxoxoxoxxo Much Love to YOU.

Cookie time with Mrs. Cindy while Mommy is in Fort Worth
No evidence of a mess and sugar rush time :)
This is the ONLY thing I bought on my 4 day trip..for the girl across the street..she is having baby girl #2 in less than a week....baby girl #1 will be 2 on April 2nd.
Jail Costumes that cost $1.90 each at Target :)
A lady at Zumba said our profiles are TWIN like.
Sam's skinny nose trick :P
this is Samantha after the lady told her she is JUST LIKE HER MOMMY. :P lol
well, my camera is cleared off now. :)
I called Ava today...it took her a while to figure out who I was..because she couldn't hear me..but once we got to talking, it was great :) I wish I could be there to take care of her. :(
I am thinking about hiring Got Junk to come clean the rest of my "stuff"...I could use one of my monthly paychecks..but then when I think about that cost and what else I could do with the $$$ I think "ROBERTA! DO IT YOURSELF!"

I have 5 minutes...
I was still super sleepy when I woke up this morning..yawning yawning yawning...I didn't know how I was going to make it through a class. :) But I did it..one dance step after another. :)
I went to Target afterwards...I needed to pick up some DVD protectors..for the 6 DVDS I have so far..they are only 30 minutes long but they will have to do for now.
While I was at Target...there was this GORGEOUS basket...on clearance for $9.99..regular $39.99..I had it in my hand..I had it in the cart...and then I knew that I did not have a SPECIFIC place ro purpose for it and I put it back. :p... I haven't even looked at my HTCI book in a loooong time....but my Jessi friend told me about that part :)
so yes..I am proud of myself for something as small as this..you would think I ran a marathon as big as I am smiling :) lol
alright..my boys are in school..I am going to try to find my timer and catch a 10 minute nap before I have to pick them up..*YAWN!!!*

I am home and I am exhausted. I was thrown back into my role as TOO MUCH FOR ME TO HANDLE immediately...but it's okay..I will be as graceful as possible and grateful for the time I had. :)
So I was upstairs gathering EVERYONE's laundry because EVERYONE had sleepovers while I was gone..Mike and the 4 young ones went out of town to his parents...3 suitcases full and Alex stayed with a friend (but thankfully she does do her own laundry)...well, there was this awful smell upstairs...like diarrhea..it was AWFUL! I couldn't find it..so I thought "I'll just keep cleaning until I come across it"...(I also put in a Simply Irresistible scentsy bar...)
Alex comes to me and says "I put coffee shop in my room earlier" ( a scentsy scent) I was like "NOOOO! THAT IS THE SMELL!!!! IT'S AWFUL!!!!!! I THOUGHT I HAD THROWN THAT AWAY!"
I looooove Scentsy...ya'll know that...but my friend gave me a Coffee Shop to try..she thought it smelled like dog pee...I thought diarrhea. :P LOL!! I am SOOOO GLAD we found the culprit smelling up my house! Now I can wait to clean until tomorrow..because I am not joking when I say "I am really really tired" This weekend was like a dream and I just woke up. :/ but it is a good thing :) :) :)
Zumba tomorrow..I hope I remember the songs :)

Happy Daylight Savings
Good Morning :) :) :) :)
I am going to bullet point for myself...as if I were writing in my own personal journal. Some people use their blogs as journals...mine is a communication source. To update anyone who may be new to my blog...it originated because I had the best group of girlfriends, in the whole wide world...and I moved...one of my girls recommended I blog..because it is much easier to keep up with someone on your own time than trying to do the phone call thing. I didn't really think I would like the "blog thing" but once you get me talking, I don't seem to stop. ;) so my blog is what I would say to you if we were on the phone but with the luxury of adding pictures if I so choose. (which I am awful about doing MOST of the time)
but today..because I did not bring my journal with me..I am going to talk to myself for a minute :)
My fascinating trip
1. the gift that it was
2. my time with David
3. my first round of Zumba DVDs
4. watching the "wet wipe" version of cooking
5. watching the Original Cinderella, she was a brunette :), and hot chocolate with whipped topping

I am amazingly blessed. Thankful. Humbled. Forgiving.
I will leave here changed. I will take those steps toward TRUE forgiveness. I will do it for God. I will make Him proud of who He created. I will use my gifts for Him. I will try my best to keep my mouth shut when I need to and open it when I need to. :)
This house is amazing! The home is even better! (and I have my own suite here called the Robbie Niccum suite) I am not joking. My very own bedroom and full bathroom better than any hotel.
(I even had Chick Fil A on my trip! :p) it always seems to be about the food :P lol
OH MY GOSH!!! I know I had told ya'll that I got into a 6 jeans...but usually my dress size is much larger...I got into a size 6 pretty dress!!! without any struggle! I was sooooooooo surprised! and excited! and surprised! I want to hit the consignment stores!!! Daddy? Can I have some money please? :) Thank you :)
I was given a book this weekend that I am SURE I will be sharing parts of it with you. :) :) :) Tidbits :)
I love you guys! Talk soon...I need to get ready to go to the airport. :) :) :)
I am going to bullet point for myself...as if I were writing in my own personal journal. Some people use their blogs as journals...mine is a communication source. To update anyone who may be new to my blog...it originated because I had the best group of girlfriends, in the whole wide world...and I moved...one of my girls recommended I blog..because it is much easier to keep up with someone on your own time than trying to do the phone call thing. I didn't really think I would like the "blog thing" but once you get me talking, I don't seem to stop. ;) so my blog is what I would say to you if we were on the phone but with the luxury of adding pictures if I so choose. (which I am awful about doing MOST of the time)
but today..because I did not bring my journal with me..I am going to talk to myself for a minute :)
My fascinating trip
1. the gift that it was
2. my time with David
3. my first round of Zumba DVDs
4. watching the "wet wipe" version of cooking
5. watching the Original Cinderella, she was a brunette :), and hot chocolate with whipped topping
6. a midnight phone call with the best friend who maybe needed to talk at that time. :)

serving others is ALWAYS more satisfying than being "served". :) I am going to have SO much to tell you when I get back...But I may be SO busy hugging my husband and children that I may not find time..and then once I get back to my Zumba classes? Forget it :P LOL...
Not really, I will try to find time to write tomorrow :)

MY CHILD
I don't really have time to catch up on everyone's blogs but I wanted to peek in on my MOMSGONE GODLY super quick just because I felt I needed to....if you have a minute to read her post MY CHILD..please do...it has made my day :)
Good Morning Woody :)
Sweet Siler
Loving the Christmas Tree
I don't know about the colors of the stockings. :) SO FUNNY! When we bought the stockings, we only had 4 daughters and for SOME REASON bought an extra blue one....HONEST! I HAD NOOOOOO PLANS ON HAVING MORE CHILDREN!!! and then we got Zach AND Siler :) so Mama had to go out and buy her blinged out Santa Stocking and I am trying to make sure the boys have the more "masculine" colored stockings..but then that rearranges the girls colors :P lol.....I should have stuck with all the same color and just had names embroidered with all my extra time and cash :P LOL...
I am thankful for my blessings this morning and the kids are SOOOOO happy the stuff is up...that makes it Christmas, right??? I only have 2 more months of "IS IT CHRISTMAS?" to go :) :) :) lol

and to all a good night
I am tired. tired tired. :)
I would love to say that all my labor has paid off..but I have the room on my left in toy shambles and the room on my right in Christmas shambles.
The kids wanted to put the tree up but nobody really got into it so there is just a pile of decorations all over. *sigh and if I had bangs, I would blow them up right now* :P LOL!!!!
but it's okay..I am going to bed...hopefully I will be asleep before 10..and then I will wake up joyful and ready to go...I will be in somewhat panic mode because I am not at all ready to leave..and I just realized my flight leaves at 7, not 8:45 pm....I ARRIVE in Fort Worth at 8:45 :P yes, I am that dorky, I thought I ws leaving at 8:45...oh my gosh...National Niccum (lampoon) Vacation starting early!!! lol
I have not read anyone's blogs but I will hopefully catch up with ya'll Friday when my friend will be at work and I will be in her fancy, clean home, kid free. Me, my Bible and notebook, her garden, and hopefully a computer :) :) :) ( I do NOT feel like toting my laptop so if she doesn't have one for me to use I will be computer free until Sunday night..GASP!)
Good night friends...:)

Today is the Day YOU have made, I will Rejoice and be Glad in it :)
Maybe I am a little CRAZY....you can let me know :)7 trashbags full of clothes and misc items and I still wanted more..I should be more than proud of myself, yes?
Not to mention the amounts of trashbags of things PITCHED. :)
well, this is the same amount of bags but whichever one looks more impressive, go with that one :) LOL
( I am still wondering what else I can throw out there before they come...it's addicting!)
I teach Zumba this morning and then I start packing for this weekend.
I actually got pictures DEVELOPED so I can mail them to my Grandma in ElPaso and my AVA in Fort Smith. (they don't e-mail :P)
Life is Good...No drama...I'm Done. :)

quick drop in
I am trying to get a video from my camcorder to the computer so I can make chapters, burn DVDS and send them to my friends so they can ZUMBA with me from their home.
God is working on this heart of mine..making it soft towards those who have hurt me..I am assuming this whole process is going to take a while but knowing it has started is a relief. I don't want to be the hard hearted monster. :)
The 9 year old girl that I have been praying for since May..has went home to Jesus. two days ago. The reality that parents have lost a 9 year old daughter cannot be real to me...I know she is dancing in heaven, headache and pain free...but please say a prayer for the parents? Father, comfort them in this time of sorrow..and please, when their mourning time is over....give them fabulous memories of the life she lived and turn their mourning into dancing a celebration of life...
When I Zumba-ed yesterday...it was a celebration of LIFE in Courtney's honor...
we never met, but I loved her.
Tonight is the last night to get "stuff" gathered..The charity people are coming tomorrow :) Tomorrow night we are putting the Christmas tree up..and then I leave Thursday..through Sunday....I am already excited to get home and be a refreshed Momma for my kiddos :) :) :)
well, I don't know when I will be back (everytime I say that I am back like 20 times that day :P) but know that I love you and think of you :) :) :) and pray for great blessings for you. :) Hug those that you love..LOTS :) (((((HUGS)))))
