My board

Here is the board I did for Charity's class room.. This is what I have been working on. The lighting is kinda bad but ok.. I am so happy one of the kids said he thought it was awesome.. I was so happy. That made it all worth while.. He told me my pumpkins looked good. It was fun..

Finally Friday(see blog)

Yes kiddies I know it is not Friday yet for me it is.. See the kids Fall Break starts today which means tomorrow really Friday is my Saturday I get to sleep in and so do the kids. They need it so bad. So today is MY Friday. I am going to the school again today and work on the board in the class room.. I will take pictures of it. I know they will only get to enjoy it for like two weeks but who cares.. I had a blast doing it and the kids love it, they noticed what I had done the very next day and wondered when I was going to finish : ).. It is some 2D and some 3D stuff.. And again we are doing the witch apple heads. See this site it is so cool it shows videos and everything http://www.appledolls.org/. You should be able to copy and paste in address bar.. : ) They aer so cool.. Well not much else I guess.. I am going to get some lunch then go to the school. I will talk to you all later. Peace out!!

Hey ya'll

Hey ya'll! I know it has been a LONG time since I have been here. I have no idea where to start or where to end. So I will more than likely be doing a lot of back and forth stuff.. I have been busy with birthdays and school starting back right down to homecoming. We had a wonderful summer.. We swam and had lots of fun. We went camping with the girls they caught lots of fish and had a blast. We had party after party. We started school.. The girls are loving school and having a blast. They love their teachers. Second grade is TOUGH!! I am learning just as much as she is. Charity is loving school. She LOVES her teacher. She is just wonderful. She is not in Kindergarten and not in first but is doing first grade work and considered first grade. Don't ask I am not fully sure about it myself. But hey she is at the top of her class. Let's see they have all gotten a year older and going on 20 it seems.. LOL!! Girls can be so funny. Now here is one of the dog. He likes to do Elvis impressions and he will smile at you.. HE also likes to stick out his tongue as you can see. He is so funny. I caught him one day trying to open the blinds in my kitchen.. Here is a picture of the girls during homecoming week this was Hollywood day.. Jasmine was Boo from Monster's Inc. and Charity was Fern Charlotte's Web..
Let's see what else. I have been doing some crocheting not a whole lot. I have been working on other things. I am trying to catch up on things here at the house. It is so funny at how much you don't do when kids are home and then when they are gone how much you need to do. LOL!! We are coming up on our fall break and so we will be out for a week. The girls will be happy.. Though they do like school.. I do have more pictures to share. Like Kenneth's birthday cake and Charity's birthday cake. But I will share them some other time.. But that is all I can share for now. I know it does not seem like lots or warrant for my absence but it was.. I have missed you all like crazy and hope to catch back up with you all soon very soon. Best wishes to all.. Smile it is another day and you are alive..

I am not the soccer mom.. But in the end I will be..

Let the story begin. I am not the soccer mom but I am the mother of two little girls who want to go everywhere. I feel like I am running on empty. I have had NO time for blogging.

It all started when we had this play date thing going. Used to be 3 days a week. The girls would go do fun crafts and stuff in the morning come home eat and then swim in the afternoon. Well I wanted to drop it down to two days because the other 4 days I could not do anything. And the other mom in the group wanted too as well. So we dropped it down to the two days. Not bad. Just I have more time to run errands for Kenneth and the girls and well everything. And then just like now I get the phone calls that last forever and I can not talk and type at the same time without typing what I am saying or saying what I am typing so it is a catch 22. LOL!! Oh and now that the garden is in effect well I am busy with that too. Sigh no time no time. Oh and let me not forget the four legged addition that well HE is another child. You fuss on Goose and well he will fuss back. You correct Goose he just destroys more. I am trying to get it all in order. I have tons of pictures to share and a video to share. And well it will get done just not sure when. Wishing you all and your families the very best. HUGS!! Until we meet again happy trails to you! : )

Anniversary and pictures.

Ok last night we went out for our anniversary and all. We went to Applebee's it was alright. For some reason they really did not have a whole lot to choose from. I know I was hungry that was not the problem. It seems I have been away from the fancy restruants for awhile. It seems all they had was sandwhiches and such. So I got a steak. It was good and cooked just right. After that we drove around looking at the new school that he will be taking care of here before long and stuff. I met one of the ladies at the school which he helps sometimes. She was really nice and way funny. After that we went and got ice cream at a little ice cream shop it was good. I got fried ice cream and he got a milk shake. Yummy. I like fried ice cream since this is the first time I got to try it. Next time I am getting fried Oreos. Yep fried Oreos. Yummy. Oh and the kicker to all of this I was going to tell ya was we got our dinner bought for us by a guy he works with. Yep we did not have to buy our own dinner. It was cool. It sounds cheesey I know but hey what ever works works right? It was very thoughtful and nice and I was happy. I thanked him for it. And Kenneth did as well. Lets see I am going to put pictures up and all now. Until we meet again happy trails!

Parties that rule and parties that drool..

Ok Saturday's party was a success. We had fun and Jasmine felt like she was finally 7. She Got new bathing suites and money and moon sand. Oh and a shopping trip with grandma. The cake turned out good and everyone was happy.

Sunday on the other hand well lets say I got carried away. We woke up got ready to go to the pool store to buy more chemicals and all. Got there got the chemicals and looked around. We left from there and went to Victoria Secrets and I got a shirt and some other things. Went to Sears and got some shorts. Oh and went to my favorite place and got new mugs and fly swatters and the girls some sun glasses. It was the Dollar Tree! I LOVE that store. Everything for a DOLLAR! It rocks.

Well on to the umm good but bad part of the day. We went to the pool party at a friends house and well since it was a drinking pool party I drank. I only had three but it seems as though when you start to drink the more you drink the stronger the drinks become. So you really should have a non drinker make your drinks. I had a 1 6 oz to begin with then I went to 2 20 oz drinks. It was the same thing just a little stronger each time. I woke up Monday wishing I was dead. See I don't DRINK that often. I have one from time to time. Just not to the point I was Sunday that is ummmm once a year if I am lucky type things. I felt I was Super Woman that day. I have tons of bruises from being thrown in the pool and such. Funny as drunk as I got I remember almost everything that went on. Why do ppl say you don't? So that was my Sunday and Monday. Tuesday was spent on the road and playing with the kids in our play date thing we do twice a week for the summer. Oh and my Saturday.

For today it is our 9 year anniversary and we are going out. A friend is watching the girls where we can. Now the girls are messing with the dog chasing him with the vacuum cleaner. He hates it by the way. So anyways I am off to clean up some messes wash some clothes and get ready for tonight. Oh and read and catch up on blogs. Until we meet again. Happy trails to ya!

Heat headache..

Hey ya'll what up? Not a lot here. Just relaxing after a long two days. I have been cleaning and getting ready for Jasmine's party tomorrow. I am making a cake this year and I have some really good icing I am making. It ROCKS! Not heavy light and oh so sinful. I have found my couch and counter tops I am so happy. I wanted to dust I may do that after I finish posting. I also need to clean the girls bathroom. I have 3 more loads of clothes to wash and I will be finished with washing. YAY!Aunt FLO came today and well I am ugh.. Not happy bout it but oh well.

For the title well um today we went for a walk roller blade thing. And well the wind was blowing which was nice though it was like 95 when we went. And we went around the block about a mile. We had a nice storm system come through and it is 72 now. BIG difference. I now have a headache from the heat. I need a nap. Anyways I have not blogged or anything because of the house cleaning. Ok I am done for now. I will be back next week. We have a busy weekend. Oh wait Kenneth and I swam last night at 9:00 at night with no kids, tv, radio, fire pager, and NO TELEPHONES it was just the two of us. And let me tell ya it was really really nice. It would be great to do every night. The water was just right. I love having my own pool now. : ) Until we meet again. Happy trails to you!

My baby is 7

Ok 7 years ago this day I gave birth to my oldest Jasmine. She has given me lots over those years and I am sure there will be lots more to give. I have learned wonders with her. She is just such a mini me that it is not funny and we butt heads a LOT!! LOL! I love her so much and she is just a wonderful special talented child. I wish her the happiest day today and every day. I LOVE YOU JASMINE!

The picture is her with her new blanket. She has been after me for as long as I have been crocheting to make her a blanket well here it is. Can you tell she is happy? Well now that I am done with that maybe I can post a little more often and keep in touch with you guys. I have been popping in and out reading and commenting just not posting. Anyways going to spend the day with my birthday girl! Have a good day until we meet again. Happy trails to you..

Friday..

I got the last square done on Jasmine's gift. I can not go into detail she is reading on a regular basis now and can read at a 3 grade 3rd month reading level. Which she is only in the second grade. I am so happy for her. She loves reading and yes she will be reading this maybe so I can not go into full detail though I will post pictures when she gets it.

Goose has gone psycho. He is chasing flies and chasing the girls. I know he is playing but the girls don't really understand and they think he is hurting them. He runs all around the house and gets all crazy. Goofy dog.

Oh my dryer played out and got a new one. I kinda like it it is taking some getting used to. Not sure on anything else. I just know if we don't get some rain here we are going to be hurtin, bad. We are in a server drought here. Oh well until we meet again happy trails to ya'll.

Time for catch up..

Ok I have been away for awhile now. Let's see what all has happened since I have been gone. I have had a child graduate, gone camping, lost a grandmother, made another doll, tore down a classroom, had a child get out of school, been swimming, spent the day at my moms, hosted a party, got a belt for the vacuum cleaner, took kids bathing suite shopping, and finally found time to blog.

Graduation was great. She was so cute getting her diploma and the songs they sang were so cute. I got a video of her getting the diploma not a picture some kids were in the way and some woman was being snotty. Anywho. That morning about 2:00 a.m we got the phone call that Kenneth's grandmother had passed. We waited till after graduation to tell the girls. It was best that way. Now there is a story behind it but I am not going into detail. WE were told not to come up. So we did not.

However we did go camping and the girls had a blast. We all needed it. Charity out fished everyone. It was funny. The place we went was nice. We had camped there before. It was a beautiful weekend for it not to hot and not to cold.

Lets see I made the other bed doll and it turned out better than the first one. Which I think it is always the case in making something for the first time. Also I helped my friend that I have worked in her classroom all year tare down her room getting it ready to be cleaned for the summer. We painted hands for pillow cases it was really cute. All the kids in her room brought in white pillow cases and we wrote a poem on the pillow case and then painted one of their hands so they could remember the kids in their first grade class. I got to do one too!!

Friday was Jasmine's last day of school for the summer. It was nice because a friend took the girls for the night on Thursday night and took them to get her report card and all because she had two that were still in school. It was cool. Kenneth and I had a night to ourselves at which we spent fighting a barn fire. Fun fun. WE got home 4:00 Friday morning. We got to go swimming on Friday all day and also again the rest of the weekend.

Lets see we went to my mom and dads and Kenneth ran fence with my dad and I helped my mom cook we had my aunt and uncle along with my sister come out to my moms and had a little get together. Then on Monday I had one here at my house for his dad and brother. His mom had to work. And my nephew was in FL. So that is what we did for Memorial day.

The girls got birthday money graduation money and tooth fairy money and had to go shopping. We got swim suites and towels. Charity got one that has Tony Stewart on it and Jasmine got one with Pirates of the Caribbean on it. Jack and Will. Along with the Black Pearl. Oh and the best I got the belt finally for the vacuum!! I can vacuum now since it has been 16 days. But we really have not been home to mess it up all that much. So now that all is caught up now, I will let you go now. Hope all is well. Will talk again later. Until we meet again.

Tea for two, two for tea..

Here she is. This is the little monster that kept me away for all these days. I am giving her to her new home today. This is the bed doll I have been working on. I actually followed a pattern word for word no tweaks at all. The only things left out were the hat purse and flowers. To girly for my taste. And to no surprise Goose felt he needed to play with her this morning when he got up to go potty. Instead of bringing him back in the room after his morning business hubby let him have full run of the house. Well I was awaken to growling and sounds of something being banged on the floor that sounded like doll eyes. I jumped up with kid on one side who had an ear ache and hubby on other side and said he has the doll. Well the only damage was hair which is now in a nice little pony tail and some feet and shoes that have doggie teeth marks. Well the dress covers that no biggie. I will now put her in her box and get her ready for her trip to her new home.

I am feeling a little better. Not much. I am having to make cupcakes for Jasmine's fake birthday. Yep you got it fake birthday. I was just told last night that TODAY is her fake birthday and I needed to make something for her class. See she has a summer birthday and the teacher wants the summer kids to have their chance to have their birthday too. Well the way I see it ask the parents first to make sure that is a good day to do it. TODAY was not a good day. My house is going to disown me for not paying it any attention. For making the monster doll. I think she looks a little evil there if you asked me. hehe. My plants need watering. And I have clothes to wash. We are going camping tomorrow after J gets out of school. Charity gets out as soon as graduation is over with. We are having a Grandma granddaughter and daughter in law day. Plus a friend. Well not a whole day just lunch and one other stop. Lets see. What else. Oh I made this really cool color finger nail polish. I took two colors and mixed them together. The colors were a light orange and a pinky red color. It made this pinky orangeish color. It is very awesome!! well I guess that is all for now. I can not think of anything else right now. Oh I do have pictures of the baby horse and of this really cool spider I found at my mom and dads place. And I DO NOT like spiders but this one was really cool looking. Be my luck it was a very poisonous one. LOL!! I am off to ice cupcakes and clean house before I have to take stuff to the school. Until we meet again have a good day!!

Happy hump day!!

It has been a long while since I have been on here. My fingers are sore. I have been working on the teacher's end of the year gifts. And doing some back and forth things going on. We have to put Charity in a pre first transition grade. She is to "young" for first grade. Even though she has mastered the kindergarten skills she is not mature enough. Ive been going through this since the start of the year. I knew she needed it but hubby thinks she will be ok. Then he talked to the teacher finally and found out that she really needed this class. Now I am not so sure. It finally hit me that she and her sister will now be broke up in a since. It was they were a year apart now it is they are two years apart in school. I hope this does not affect them in the long run. When they are older. Oh well we will deal with it when it happens.

For Mother's day we went to my mom's and his mom's house. One of the horse's had a baby last week. It was very nice. I will post pictures later. I am dealing with a sinus thingie. OR something. I feel like crapola. Lets see not much more for now. I really need to get my butt in gear and finish the present. I have the edging slip and sleeves along with the purse to finish I will take pictures. So until we meet again. Have a good week. Oh I will have pictures of graduation and my dress I keep talking about from time to time. It is like a Mexican dress. It is flowie and all that good stuff. Later..

Happy Mother's Day to all the mom's in blog land!!

Title unknown..

Well lets see I have not posted in some time now. It has been to darn nice outside and I had fun day on Friday. I was asked to come in and face paint. Well I am not a painter in no way form or fashion. I did my best and that is all I could do. Now some of the mom's well they were awesome. We had mom's do monkeys, beach scenes, guitars with amps, so on and so forth. It was cool. In the fun of it all I got mine done. Here is Charity doing her amazing flying duck act. Kenneth will pick her up and toss her in the air and she will flip and never let go of the duck. What fun it was to see them do that. No worries daddy was in the pool and Charity dose not scare easy.

Jasmine was to big to go completely over she would do a face plant into the the water. She did not like it. LOL!! Now here is a photo I like to call lazy nights. Jasmine and Goose catching some zzzz'a like it was no big deal. I would look over at the two of them and they would be awake then asleep and so on and so forth. It was to cute. You would call J's name and she would go what I am awake and I would say no you weren't you were snoring. She would giggle and go back to sleep. They had a busy day.
They were wore out. After an afternoon of swimming and playing what a life.Charity graduates Kindergarten on the 18th and we will go camping that weekend. Jasmine gets out on the 25th. Oh and this weekend Kenneth built a landing at the bottom of the pool ladder and then a walk way to the steps of the house. It is nice there now. You don't have to wade through the mud to get from point A to point B. Oh and we got the garden put out. Tomatoes, cabbage, squash, eggplants, zucchini, cucumbers, and beans. Oh and a banana pepper. Yummy.. Well I guess that is all for now. Don't know much else to say except for I can not wait till summer gets here and I can sleep in till at least 8:00 before they will be wanting to go swimming and ride four wheelers all day. Whoo hoo! Until we meet again.

I am back in the "Groove"

Most of you all know I am a HUGE lover of music my choice is to listen to music. Not just one sound but all music with a few exceptions. Well I found this groovy little thing over at myspace and well I have now added it. I just love it. It allows you to add tracks to your playlist and put it anywhere on the web you have a site at. How rocking cool is that. I have music now!! I LOVE IT!!

Last night was a rough night. Goose is gettin in the swing of things bedtime etc. And potty time is no exception. He will whine when he needs to go. Well at 2:30 this a.m. he wanted to go potty so we thought.. He really wanted to get up and play. Then again at 4:30 after goin out at 2:30 he wanted to play again. So now we have to see where this goes. When he barks it is so funny and he jumps like a rabbit. It is so funny. Anyways hope tonight is better, we will see. Until we meet again. "Give me the beat boys and free my soul want to get lost in that rock and roll and drift away..."

Nothing..

Ok Goose doesn't like to be by himself. I could not get through my shower this morning without him crying at the door. He would not come in the bathroom and sit. NO he had to cry at the door. What a goober.. He does not like the back part of the house for some reason. If his toys go down there he will do this barking shaking his head no stepping back thing. Again what a goober. He hops like a bunny rabbit. And reminds me of the Coppertone dog pulling down the girls bathing bottoms. Well he does that to Charity. He loves my yarn and wants to help me crochet and he likes to help with the laundry. Oh and wants to help me finish my lunch. I will have to tell you have the vaccumming goes. I have not done that yet. Not bad in here but I must do it today. I am just waiting to see how it goes.

The kids have been swimming the past two days. I got in once. Never knew I could dance like a ballerina. Yep I might just sign up for the next production of The Nutcracker or Swan Lake. LOL! That water was cold. It read 76 on the thermometer. Oh well I guess when it gets 80 or 85 I will be ok. Which if the temps keep going like they are we may be swimming big time before Mother's Day. Well that is about it for now. Until we meet again.

More pictures

This is the real Maverick and Goose. From the movie Top Gun my most favorite movie of all time. Now here is my Maverick since I can not have Tom Cruise.

And since I can not have Anthony Edwards I will have my Goose. See I am such a sucker for men in uniforms. LOL!! And that is where my names come from for my dogs. : ) Have a good weekend well what is left of it.

Change of menu. The last post vanished when I tried to post pictures.

This is Jasmine and Charity seeing Goose for the first time..
This is Goose and Charity on the bay floor sleeping.
This is daddy and Goose napping today.

Meet Goose!

We just bought a new puppy. He is a 10 week old boxer.. Brindle with white. And he talks. Well that is what the lady says. We pick him up at 7:00 tonight!! I can not wait. He is such a sweetie. Wook at those feet. Now to come up with a name. Well it is Goose!! Just found out. Now how am I going to keep this from the girls till then. Well until we meet again.

For all my friends.

Ok I found the song Kare was talking bout. I now have the video on my blog. It was so funny because my Jasmine had come home singing this song and we had no clue where she had heard it from. Come to find out some kids at school were singing it. And well like everything else kids pick up stuff from other kids. Well when Kare (Tangles) that the girls sounded so sweet like the kids at the end of the song Fly Away I just had to go and see. Well come to find out it was the song.

So thanks to Netter(Nothin But Nett) I can now place things on the blog that I was doing before now that she has sent me in the right direction. Hugs and thanks again.

As for things going on today.. Got to exercise, walk, shower, go to school and help. Go clean fire hall and um homework. And keep clothes from growing do a load of laundry.

WTF? Out sourcing breast feeding? Come on you have got to be joking me. Now ohhh never mind. No since in getting worked up over others ummmmm ways of life to be nice. I have heard it all now. Until we met again.

Take two...

I had a nice post all filled out yesterday ready to post and well my server went down. I was unable to save or post or do anything. I was so upset. So I just went about my day and did not try again. I thought I would do it today. Don't ask what it was because I have forgotten. LOL! I will tell you what I had done over the weekend.

Saturday we left the house around 9:00 in the morning and went to a friends house. We had pedi's done watched movies ate lunch made cakesThis is Charity's cake. This is Jasmine's clown cake she made at my friend's house. We had a butter cream frosting on our cakes we made with berries. It was so sinful. Then we went outside to watch the kids play. They played with puppies and cows. Charity climbed in to the cow pen with the calves. It was so funny. That child is not afraid of anything. We built a shelter for the puppies so they would have some shade. We went to Ross's kinda like a discount name brand store. Where items are so darn cheap you would be nuts not to buy at least something. Got a $29.00 dress for $16.99. My friend bought it for me because I drove her down there. She wanted her one so we both got one. I will get a picture of me in it and show you how darn cute it is. The dress. After a day of fun girl stuff we ate dinner and came home. Oh and there was a stop at Wally World for a few things. Got an idea at what to get Charity for her birthday. A Tony Stewart beach towel. That child is going to wear me out on that man. She is so funny.

On to Sunday. We got up I sun bathed for awhile. It was so nice out. Got a little sun. I think I spent more time trying to get the radio to work than being able to sun. LOL! Got to have music. Got a call from hubby asking if we wanted to come out to town and have dinner with him. We got some clothes on and went. Then we went back to the house they were working on and watched them work. Then we came home played outside. Planted some mators(tomatoes) and then sat some more outside and played. Then came in and ate dinner.

Yesterday hubby was off and we went back to the house they were working on and finished them up. They worked 3-4 hours Friday night all day Saturday till 9:30p.m. and Sunday till 5:00p.m. until they ran out of materials and then yesterday when they finished. They trimmed out 4400sq. ft. of house in what 3 days. Those boys were whipped when they were finished. But it makes for good money. That is always good.

And I guess that wraps it up in a nutshell. It is raining here today. Supposed to be off and on. I hope it dies off for tomorrow. Charity is supposed to go to the Zoo tomorrow for their field trip. Then Jasmine has one Friday. So with all that being said I am going to go read blogs now and then off to work in the house. Fun fun. Until we met again have a good day.

There's a Twitter on my blog knock it off!!

Yep I have a twitter now. I guess since I did not do the M&M thing I would do the twitter thing. A big THANK YOU to Netter for her help!! I guess that is about it. I have not been working on anything much here lately. Just playing catch up and all. Hope you all have a good weekend. Until we met again.

Pictures..

Ok here are some random pictures.. The first one is of my inside garden. Check out the hanging gnome!! The next is of a really cool cloud. And then this is one of Charity and Howie. The girls horse. This was taken out at my mom and dad's they have horses and such. Jasmine was riding the 4 wheeler at the time. It was such a good picture. It is my favorite. Well off to walk and wash more clothes, since we have no clothes in the house. LOL!! Until we met again. I will show pictures of the girls on their 4-wheelers later on.

Reason for hope..

Reason for hope. Here is my reason for hope in a world of uncertainty. Look at these faces. We may never know when or where it will happen. So love them hold them and tell them there is no one else that matters in the world you. Love them for as long as you can. God be with us all.

Here are a few pictures to share..

I am also happy to announce that I have lost 3 inches since I have been working out with Satin. Happy to report that all is well. Except that today I got up at 12:30 am and was sick till about 9:00am. I am just kinda here now. So as for pictures the first one is of my wisteria, the second is of lightening I got right before the cold snap hit and then the last one is of my bunnies I made for school party for Charity. So until we met again..

This is "beary" funny and cute..

I hope you all can open this. I tried to get it to load on my page but got an error code thing. So if any one who knows how to get videos on their blog please let me know. I used to do it ALL the time before I left and now that I am back it is a pain. I get all kinds of error codes when I try and change the template and everything. So until then I guess I will using URL's to show the videos and stuff. Until we met again enjoy some gummy bears!! Hope it works for you!!

Something I have been working on and a prize..

Ok here is what I have been working on for a few days now. I have not been like working on it non stop. Just off and on. It is not finished by far but my goodness this is the easiest pattern I have found. It was my husbands grandmothers. She got it at Wal-Mart a long time ago. I don't know when have not found a date yet. The pattern is of bed dolls. I would really like to find one that is the actual pillow one. This one uses a plastic doll with folding legs. It will do. Till I find that one. I have always wanted to make one. So here is my chance. And this is what I am working on. And the prize was Jasmine's Easter Egg in the tree and finding the pattern that is so super easy. The kids each wound up with a prize egg. There was only 3 kids.. No biggie. Well until I figure out how to do more pictures the way the computer is set up I will not be postin anymore pictures. I have some good ones so be looking for them. Until we met again..

"Joe's Name Game"

The reason it is named this way is because a guy I went to school with came up with it. I am on MYSpace and this is from over there. It is kinda fun. Not really much to blog about except I did not have to cook on my b-day and I got a fern and a card and then some flowers from my little one. They had someone come in and do flower arranging with them since it was their plant unit this week. It was sweet. So anyways that is it in a nut shell. Hope you do the "Name Game" would love to see other answers!! Have a good weekend. Until we met again.. Oh loved the Grey's compilation last night. And ER of course was a good one. Sounds like it may be the end of the road for ER not sure. Never know. I hope not. Though one commerical sounds an awful lot like it may be. I am be over reacting. Anywho.

Rainy

It is rainy windy and just blah outside. Which means I am going to go lay back down. We watched Charlotte's Web last night the remake human version. It was very good and yes I cried and cringed when the spider came on. Which Julia Roberts did very well. I have a hang nail and it is bothering me and the TV is making me mad. Well don't know much more to write about today. If something should come up I will. Hope you all have a good day. Oh hopefully now I will be able to keep up with the blogging and such. Until next time. It is a blah day. Oh and on another note Friday Night Lights is having its season finale to night. Sigh and a tear. Until next season I <3 Friday Night Lights.. GO PANTHERS!!

If it is not one thing it is another.

Ever had one of those weeks that well if it was not one thing it was another. Ok so you all knew the computer went down the first time. Well it did it again. This time it was the monitor. So just by luck we had an extra monitor in our upstairs that worked with the base. But the only problem is, is that it sticks to far out on the desk and we are not able to place it on the desk. So it is out in the middle of the floor. Don't know when we will get a new monitor but hey I am back to my blogging. Hope all had a good Easter. We did. Hubby's side of the family just well I guess disowned us no biggie. Just would have liked to known a head of time. Know what I mean. LONG story. Maybe on a rainy day with nothing to do. : 0 So now with the "E" thing. I did not do any from Friday till today. I went twice around the block and did the Satin work out. Hopefully I will be able to get back on track. Think I might have an ear infection. Not sure but that thing hurts like Hell!! I am going to take some med to see if the pain goes away and if it does then it is not an infection just sore from the wind. Know what I mean. The wind has been blowing like all get out. On a different note the late Johnny Cash's house burned down today. Thank goodness no one was in the house the new owner was in FL. Well that is it for tonight. Just a little to get you all caught back up. Until we met again.. Good night!!

Firewalls..

Ok so apparently my firewalls did not like one another. So that is what they say. We had to call the tech support line. I think he was on there like an hour or so with them. So now hopefully keep your fingers crossed it works now.

We had the kids Easter parties today. It was fun. The girls found about 12 eggs apiece. I made cookies but I will do one post of nothing but pictures that I have to post. I have to get my pictures off my camera. I have some good ones of the storms that were coming in the other night and one lightening picture I took. And some of my plants before they die. We are going to be in like the 20's tonight. BURRRRRR!! The exercise thing was put on hold today. I just had to much to do. So tomorrow it is get up workout and walk. Then clean house. I have Easter company coming Sunday (this is new we normally go everywhere). So everyone coming here is going to be well interesting. It is going to be like 57 that day. YAY!! NO outside time. So anyways. That is about it for now. I guess I will finish dinner. Fried chicken, mashed tators, and some other veggie. Now I know it does not sound healthy but I NEVER said I was eating right. I said I was doing the E Word. : ) Just trying to stay away from sweets. So until next time.

Hey

Ok I have been away again. Not by choice though. My mouse went crazy and then all you know what broke loose. So needless to say I was not able to get on the computer to do anything. It was so ugh!! So to get you caught up I am doing the E thing still. I am drinking more water now. So here is my E plan. One day I work out with Satin and walk once around the block. Then next day is twice around the block. And then back to Satin and once around the block. So you really have not missed much. LOL!! I feel so cut off when the computer is down or out of service. We are supposed to get bad storms and the temps will drop tonight and be cold all through the weekend. Easter looks like maybe 56 high. So it will be cold. So now I must start wrapping up the plants to keep them happy at night. They need to be warm too ya know. I believe that we are in Dogwood winter. Because I think Red bud winter has came and then all we will like is Blackberry winter. And we will be done with the cool snaps where it could freeze. Other than that we should be ok on the weather. Well just wanted to let you all know I was still around. I will return later on to take a look see at everyone else's blogs and get caught up. Until we met again.

What was I thinking?

Ok so I thought that today would be a good day to start well the E word.. Yep you guessed it. Exercise. I had a DVD given to me called Chico Metrics. Well I thought ok this is going to be like all the others. Boy was I wrong. This guy is Satin. See the harmless part was the hour workout. Well I did not think this guy was going to be 1 hour or PAIN!! I got through the first 25min and I folded like a lawn chair. I was moving things I had no clue I had. I am so out of shape. And I am just going to have to slowly get into the routine of it. I actually liked the BURN as they call it. But Jeez can you not be so chipper while you kill me? This guy has not yet lost the smile on his face and the next time I hear the phrase "Rest Easy" I think I will scream. LOL His repetitions are like 25,60,80 and so on and so forth. It is supposed to be like 2 hours a week(2 days a week one hour a day). So you think about it that really is like 50,120,and 160 times 2.. Oh my!! The agony. Chico is not my friend right now. I will stick with this but I will not be all 1 hour until I get used to the routines. Half an hour a day till I get into the groove then I will do the full hour. I need to do something though. Wish me luck. And where is the Icy Hot? Until we met again..

Most recent pictures

Ok as promised here are some more pictures of the girls. The first one was taken about 6:30 this morning and yes I dress them alike the majority of the time. IT is so much fun at this age. Soon they will not want to. And then the second one is of them in the pool Sunday. They only stayed in a few minutes. They could not handle it. LOL!! Little goobers. I guess that get that from me. ROFL So anyways feeling better today. Little weak but I guess that goes along with it. I am doing some serious house cleaning. I have pool chemicals that need a home for now. Until we know for sure that the weather is not going to turn on us. And we get a Cold snap again. Until the coast is clear they are in my dinning room and have been since ohhhh the first of March or so. Plus turn out gear and well you know the story. And now that all is back in school and I am feeling a little better I need to do it. Until we met again.. Have a good day.

Sick

I feel sick today. Was up at 2 am and felt like crap. So I am a baby today. And the pictures of the girls did not get taken. I will have to do that this afternoon. Sorry. Lot's of homework and after school stuff.

Maverick

This was our Maverick. He was ran over back in November. It was very traumatic. He got hit in front of the house by Kenneth. It was my fault for trying to multi task. I was cooking dinner the dog wanted to go out and the kids were wanting me and well next thing I know Kenneth came in and said I just ran over Maverick. It was pitch black and of course he was a dark colored dog. Kenneth was not driving fast or anything. He was getting ready to pull into the driveway. So the search is on. It has been long enough we are looking for a new puppy. Just will not be the same. Guess it never will be. The big lug.

Pictures finally!!!(Sorry it took so long Lucy)

Ok here we go. These are some of the pictures that I have to post first. The Steeler pictures are from when I went to PA to see the opening game for the NFL last year. The 2006 opening season. So these little gems come from a very very very dear friend of mine Lucy(folk-n-fancy.blogspot.com) check her out she is great. She provided me with a bear beads which was a must the little desk doll which watches over me and my licences plate. Which is on MY Jeep and not Kenneth's truck which he informed me that it would be placed there. You see who won that one. And then here is a dressed up picture of the girls at Christmas. Charity on the phone of course the social butterfly. Jasmine the toothless wonder. BTW those of you who knew about the tooth fairy pillow I made well it has been put to good use again. (4 teeth has seen its glory) I will post pictures of the girls on their 4wheelers and in the swimming pool. They got in it Sunday. They froze but the wanted to and Kenneth was tired of hearing But Daaaaaddyyyyyy it is not to cold for me..... PLEEEEEEEAZZZZZEEEEEEE!!!! So they got in and their lips were blue. I got them out and they got a warm shower and they were all better. Charity is still all about Tony Stewart (NASCAR) and she has a plate on the front of her four wheeler that is Tony Stewart it is so cute. When they get home this afternoon I will get a more recent picture of them. Of course before I look at their report cards. : ) So until they get home enjoy the pictures...

Little bit of nothing..

It is a little bit of nothing today. The report cards come home today. And we have school pictures today. They have the group picture and individual group pictures. How fun.

Thanks to all who have welcomed me back. I know can be on here a little more than before too. We moved the computer out of the office room to the dinning room. Which means I can watch my soaps and clean and still be on the computer when I need be. : ) Though this summer it will be a little harder to do since drum roll please...... We got our pool !! Yep finally. The girls got 4 wheelers for Christmas and so we will be outside from sun up till sun down now. Kenneth has been home more now which is great. Trevor found a girl friend. So it has been kinda quite. The girls are getting so big. Jasmine is a reading fool now which is great. Charity well lets just say I do enough to get me by and that is good enough for me is her attitude. *Sigh*

I am still crocheting. Simple stuff. I have not gotten to try anything bold yet. I am still waiting. It is such a small world that I found out that a girl I went to school with has 3 children that go to the girls school now and they live 10 miles from us and her youngest is in the same class as Charity. They are good friends that is so cool.

Ok point being I told you that I can now watch TV and be at the computer now. Well reason being is just now I was watching a show and this is what I love.... When the demonstrations to show you how well these products work and then they don't and they look like dummies on national TV!! LOL!! I love it. Ok so that was mean. God love 'em. Oh well off to do some house stuff. Until we type again.. Oh and any clue on a good site that has free templates compatible with this thing and how do you do click able names of blogs you read. I have memory lapse. : ) Thanks guys!!
