Time flies when you're having fun!

Good grief! 7 years? It has been that long since I've logged in here? Apparently nobody really missed it, especially me. hahaha Let's see. What's new with me? I have a new job (well, I've been there 6 months now) after being fired and unemployed for 10 months. My previous job....yeah. Let's just say, I have morals and others didn't. Ha! They told me, oh it will be SOOOOOOO easy for you to find a job. Yeah......10 months later. I do love my new job. It's so nice to be appreciated. We have moved. We weren't looking to move. An opportunity for a bigger house, bigger yard, storage for our trailer just fell into our lap. Couldn't pass it up. :) Our oldest daughter is a sophomore in COLLEGE!!! Did you read that right? Yeah, college!! Crying out loud.......wasn't she just born a couple years ago? Our youngest is in 7th grade and growing up so fast. I thought, too, that she was born just a couple years ago!

March for Babies

In April, I'm going to be doing a 6.2 mile March for Babies walk for the March of Dimes. I'd love your support!! You can pay via credit card or paypal or you could send me a check. Thanks!!

Academy Awards

I usually watch the news in the morning. My favorite station cut to the live announcement of the nominations for the Academy Awards. As I'm sitting here, I saw a nomination for Ratatouille. It's about the only movie that I've not only seen, but ever even heard of. Where are they getting these movies???

Still Looking.......

So, um, yeah. Still haven't found my motivation. Soon though, soon! I had good intentions of coming home from work yesterday and working out and other things. I ended up working a full day instead of getting off at 3 like I should, so by the time I got the princesses and got home, working out was the furthest from my mind.

Have You Seen It?

Has anyone seen my motivation today? I need to get some exercise in and I have some crafting I need to finish up. I really need to do it, but yet....my butt's still in this chair!! Someone help me find my motivation!!

Will the Fence Ever be Fixed?

So, our neighbor's fence fell down, ohhhhhhh, probably last spring. We were told it would be taken care of. Ok, no problem. We propped it back up and wasn't really doing too much to our side. A couple months ago, we had a big wind storm and it fell all the way over onto my raised garden. Craig finally called the neighbor who owns the house and he said that the renters were supposed to have fixed it. Well, they didn't....really. So anyway, the owner, renter and Craig are all out there "fixing" it. It's too funny. Everytime I look out the window, they're all just standing there. LOL!

Dagnabbit!

I knew it was too good to be true! Guess what i just saw??

Ant Update

Before I went to work, I sprayed Lysol on and around the laptop. For whatever reason, the Lysol kills the ants instantly. So far, so good. I haven't seen any yet since I've been home. Of course, now that I said that, I'm sure one will come running across. hehehe

Ants, Ants Everywhere!

UGH! I'm being invaded by ants1! They started in the garage and got into the cat's food. Now they're inside and I keep finding them crawling all over the laptop!

Happy New Year and all that Jazz!

We had a great Christmas....Yes, you read it right, I said Christmas! There was a fantastic little video that kind of wrapped up my feelings on the whole Christmas/Happy Holidays thing.... Let me see if I can find it.

Howdy, howdy

Hey, yall! I'm still here. Busy with things. Soccer, taxi'ing kids everywhere, work, making curtains for our camper and thanks to my buddy Cyndi we're now Webkinz freaks here at our house.

Wow

ACK! I can't believe it's been so long since I posted. It's been so dang busy and now we're coming up on the holiday season. ARGH! But anyway, have a great day, I'll be back!

Still Here

Hey all! I'm still here, just this last week has been a whirlwind!!! School started, soccer started, first soccer game, work's been crazy, etc. etc. etc. :D

Kitty Dress

Ok, finally.....

It's Done!

Phew! I got youngest Princess' dress done. Remember, the one I was complaining about? I didn't get to start it till about 7:00 last night. I stayed up until 1 this morning and got up again at 6. The wedding shower was at 10am. I finished it at 9:15. There's some spots around the ruffles that I should take out and redo since it's a bit crooked, but it turned out pretty cute!

I'm trying to get a pic off the camera, but for some reason, the software isn't being recognized

Alzheimer's Memory Walk

Oh my goodness! Alzheimer's is such a horrid disease! People end up a fraction of what they used to be. My grandpa had Alzheimer's. He was a state patrol officer for years, so it was so hard to watch this proud man's mind deteriorate. He couldn't even remember to do everyday things. He couldn't be left alone, so that hurt his pride. My grandma had to take care of him just as you would a young child, such as Grandpa knew he was supposed to do "something" such as brush his teeth, but without Grandma there to constantly remind him, he couldn't remember exactly what "something" was.

Luckily, there are people who care about finding a cure for this horrible disease. The Alzheimer's Association has been searching for a cure and supporting these people who need it. You, too, can support this worthy cause, by partaking in a Memory Walk in your area. There are many around the country, I'm sure there's one near you! I can't urge you enough to get out there and support this association, because you never know when this disease will strike your grandparents or parents.

Go now and sign up! Be a team captain! Get your family and co-workers to help your team, get the neighborhood to be a team, get moms from your child's class to be a team! There's really no excuse not to! Please help this worthy cause!

Don't You Hate That?

Youngest Princess is in my friend's wedding in a month. I'm making her flower girl dress. I cut out the pattern, and according the pattern back, it should fit fine. My grandma and I held it up to Princess and it needs some added to the chest. No problem, right? Well, before I cut up the flower girl material, I went to Joann's and bought some other material to make a dress out of to see how my alterations will turn out. Princess picked some kitty fabric and I have to admit, it is adorable. I wanted the Mickey Mouse material, but I got vetoed. ;) So anyway, tonight I sit down to cut out the material (the job I hate most) and realized I didn't wash the material. UGH! I've been washing all day, I could have thrown it in with those loads, so now I have to wait until the current load is done so I can throw it in.

Hilarious!

This is too funny! Go read this eBay auction. This mom, Dawn, is a fantastic writer. And look! She's also got a blog! Good reading!
