Ugh...thieves


Not a lot going on today, but I promised y'all I would try to post daily so here we go...


It looks like it's going to be a busy weekend here. The Hubby and I are going around the corner to his parents property to get the remaining plants and such that are left, (it use to be a nursery), before the rest of it is stolen. Since before Christmas thieves have been having a field day over there taking whatever they could and vandalizing most everything else. We are talking thousands of dollars worth of theft and damage. So FIL, who lives across town, wants us to go get whatever is left and bring it to our house. I hate people who steal. We suspect it's a neighbor from over there who recently got out of prison, he has been known to steal in the past and is a total creep any way. The worst part is, this guy knows where we live. Hopefully he's smart enough to never come around here though, or Hubby would most likely shoot him dead.


Tomorrow I will be doing another cake. Our friends baby girl is almost 1. Wow, how time flies. I think I will do a Winnie-the-Pooh cake for her. We are having her party here at our house on Sunday since there will only be a small group of us, (both of their families live out-of-town), and they live in a small trailer with a big (kinda scary) dog. I have never been to their place, but Hubby said it's better to have the party here. I guess that's all I need to know. Oh, btw I will try to post pictures of the finished cake. I'm thinking about making a portfolio of all my cakes, maybe making a little side business out of it.


I need y'alls help if I am going to succeed in posting often. Please send me memes, or questions, or just anything to post about.


I hope everyone has a great weekend!

OMG, another post already!

First off, thanks y'all for the comments, it really does make me feel better. And btw I was totally kidding about beating up the husband, he is, after all, much bigger than me, and I really DO love him. He, like most husbands, just really pisses me off sometimes.

Well yesterday I subed fourth grade. For me it is probably the easiest grade to sub. It also reconfirmed that I do not want to do this full time. No doubt I would bring it home with me. I ended up talking to this one little boy whom apparently has kind of a rough home life. I hope I said the right things to him. I hope I at least made that day a little better for him. I was so sad for him, he said his step dad tells him he is trash, this on top of getting picked on at school by a handful of children. And I know there are many other kids at the school going through similar things. As a sub it's not like I am going to make some big change in their lives, so I just gave him the best advice I could think of and hope it helped a little. He seems to be a good kid, no worse than any other little boy his age, and I'd hate to see the issues he has to deal with change that. Like I told him, childhood is just a small part of the rest of your life. Try not to let others opinions of you matter much and just be the best person you can be. And that over time, treating others the way you want to be treated really does work.

On a lighter note....last Saturday night I went to my neighbors for a jewelry party. My cousin sells Premier Design jewelry. It's a little pricey, but also worth it. When my order comes in I will try to post pictures. Lisa, maybe I can plan a jewelry party for when you are here, what do ya think? Just let me know.

Well y'all, that's all for now. It's time for me to get started on my bajillion loads of laundry, lol. And yes that is a word, in my world anyway, so shut-up spell check.

Duh

Well am I brilliant or what? I got a wild hair up my ass this morning and decided to change the look of my blog. Okay, I did it because I was jealous that others had changed theirs and so I wanted a change to. Any who.....Being the computer genius that I am I managed to delete a years worth of archives right along with my old layout. I guess that's why it tells you at the top that you might want to save a copy first before making any changes, but did I listen? Well duh, of course not, I just get in too big of a hurry sometimes. All of my (cough, cough) brilliant work down the tubes. At least I was able to find most of the links to y'alls blogs. So 11 days until my blogaversary and almost nothing to show for it. If anyone knows of a way to retrieve any of it Please let me know.
BTW, I have to work tomorrow, but I am going to try really hard to post a lot more often, and maybe even manage not to delete them all again, lol.

Oh yeah, I have a blog.....

Yes, I know, I haven't posted in a while and I am sorry. Things have been a little crazy and out of whack around here lately. I have went ahead and started on my spring cleaning. I know it's not even spring yet, but with all the crap that builds up around here it's still going to take me until summer to get it all done, (darn pack-rat husband). When not cleaning, I have been working. I have been getting lots of calls to sub, and have even turned some down just because I don't want to get burned out being up at the school a bunch or feel like I am taking advantage of my mom for having to babysit a lot.
Also, to be honest, I just haven't felt like blogging. I've been a little down lately. Maybe it's the weather, more likely it the husband. Like I have said before, things go up and down for us. Things are fine again now, but we spent most of last week not speaking to one another, and when we did, we argued. Has any of y'all ever wanted to take a baseball bat to the side of your loved ones head? No? Just me? Okay then, never mind, forget I mentioned it...........I really, really, really love my husband, (otherwise I wouldn't still be married to him).
But yeah the sun is out and it's just warm enough for the kids to go outside. Maybe I can get motivated to do some cleaning instead of just sitting around eating. Cause the vicious cycle of sadness-eating-weight gain-sadness-etc. has got to stop before it makes me crazy. I'm thinking about looking into, (I think it's called), sparkpeople.com and see what it's all about.
Sorry y'all that this post has been a little all over the place, but at least I posted, right?

Happy New Year Everyone!

Happy New Year to everyone! And now I bring you..."How I spent my Christmas Break".....




K-bug seemed happy with her toys



I think G-man was excited about his mp3 player, even though it wasn't an ipod.








Boo is still pretty easy to shop for, (what a mistake this gift was, it makes more of a mess than playdoh, but at least I can vacuum it out of the carpet).




Now she can help Mommy clean, and it really does work y'all!



A scary picture of me, the game I am holding is so fun. We ended up playing it on New Years with friends.


The husband opening his presents



K-bug helping my mom open her presents



My dad and the kids.

From reading through y'alls blogs, it sound like everyone had a pretty good Christmas and New Years. We got up early Christmas morning and opened presents with the kids. Then got breakfast, got dressed, and headed over to my parents house to open more presents and eat.
The kids got a lot of toys, the husband got a fire pit for outside, and I got lots of stuff for my kitchen.

New Years we spent at home. We grilled with some friends of ours, a guy hubby works with and his wife and baby, and my BIL and BFF, (who are still seeing each other btw). We ate, hung out by the fire, then ended up coming inside and playing Apples to Apples until almost midnight. At about 10 minutes till we all went outside to count down and watch fireworks with the kids.

For those of you who have never heard of or played Apples to Apples I have to tell you...it is so fun. Especially if you have at least 6 people playing. My SIL brought her Thanksgiving, and we played with the max of 10 people. I think that is the most fun I have ever had with my in-laws.

I am so glad the holidays are over. My boys go back to school Monday. They had like 2 1/2 weeks off! I am soooooo ready for them to go back to school. They have been stuck inside for most of their break because of the weather. It's been either rainy or cccccoooooolllllllddddddd.
Also, Monday is the day I start back with doing yoga and eating better. Lets see how long I will last this year, shall we........The husband is also working on his health by trying to cut back on the drinking. So far so good, I hope I don't jinx it by saying I am very proud of him for making an effort. I am going to try to stay positive for him, and be as supportive as I can.

HAPPY 2008 !!!!!!!!!
