Trying to stay caught up!

I have a lot going on right now. I am just nonstop and all over the board with things going on in my world lately. I did recently get a job. I will be taking care of a newborn full time starting in August. I am excited about it. I am still trying to get into nursing school. I got in when we lived in Florida but then found out we had to move so I could not attend. Now that we are here I am on the hunt once again for a school that doesn't have a 2 year waiting list. I am not a young chick anymore and I don't have time for waiting lists!

I recently started a Bloggy Boutique with one of my friends. It is called Glamorous Greetings at http://GlamorousGreetings.blogspot.com
Check us out, but know that the site is still under construction.

Also I am a contributing writer on www.makingamommy.com I am very excited about that. Its gonna be a great site for moms to be and moms to get some info and connect with other moms.

Also we have yet another trip to Ohio this weekend and then back on Sunday then back again on Wednesday cause I am going to the Britney Spears concert.


Hello....

Okay Goodnight all....and if your reading this...follow my blog! I am looking to add to my big 8 followers....please!

Trish's Visit

Last week my friend Trish from Florida came to visit us. She is my best scrappin crafty friend! We took the boys to the Strong Museum of Play, then to see Monster Vs. Aliens, and then we all went to Niagara Falls for the day. Each night after we put the kids to bed we did stamping and scrappin. It was a blast! Thanks Trish for coming to visit! Here are a few pics of our fun time.

Enjoy!

Its so nice to have a backyard!

Why have I been such a slacker?

Okay before I begin with my slackiness (is that a word?), I would just like to announce that today I have had to kill to spiders onmy own. Me and spiders don't get along and usually my hubby is here to break up the fight. Today however I had to MAN up and do it. I had to protect my children!

Okay that being said I have had some major writers block lately. I don't know why! I am really trying to fix it. I need to be more committed to my blogging!

Okay so for the actual 5 readers that I do have...please click on the link on my sidebar for Baby Stellan. He is in bad shape and needs our prayers. Please Pray!

I have been looking lately for a job. I want to watch some children to supplement some income since blogging ain't doing it for me HAHA! The problem is that everyone and their mother has the same idea. Ugh! Its so frustrating!

To update about the boys preschool...we found one! Hip hip hooray! And the best part is that it is not a mortgage payment just to send them. I was going to have them start this week however my hubby got pinkeye. None of us have gotten it yet but I didn't want to infect the whole school. That would not be a good first impression.

Oh yes and how could I have forgotten to blog about this...the other day we were at home depot with the boys and while we were checking out using the self check out, Ryan told the cashier next to us that she was fat! I mean does it get any more embarrassing? She was very good about it and we made him apologize and had a very stern talk to him about name calling and peoples feelings. Seriously though 5 is the hardest age by far!

Okay so there see I had a lot to blog about!

Now I am going to bed...think of Stellan and keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
GNITE!

Give me a bloggy break!

Okay so lets just agree to say its been a while since my last post. Boy have I been busy. We moved. I think we are about settled. Its takes a long time to unpack and get organized and i am not the most patient person when it comes to that. I want it done...NOW!

Lets see what else is new, I turned 30, seriously I can't think of anything big and exciting. Oh wait yes I turned 30!!!! Its so crazy. I can't believe I can't say I am a twenty something anymore. It's a little sad...but I am over it already (sniff, sniff) no seriously I'm fine.

Here are a few pics from our dinner out to celebrate my birthday with all my favorite people...

Its was a good time. After dinner we went to this bar for people like 50 and over...no joke! It was like when Baby from Dirty Dancing "carried the watermelon" and walked in to the room with everyone bumping and grinding like she has never seen in her life. Well I have seen some dirty dancing before but holy moly when the people doing it are 50,60,70 and 80...its nasty! At one point they played a slow song so I dragged Jim out there and the couples around us were making out and groping each other. It was hilarious!

It made for a good night! Okay well I have all my fav people coming here to visit tomorrow and I gotta go get some sleep.

I still need to post pics of the house...Trish if you are reading I know you are waiting for them.

Okay more later

Blah Day!

Today was just one of those days. One of those nothing to talk about days.

I am excited about tomorrow. My best friends 2 boys are gonna be staying with us for a few days. My boys are excited. So I will have 5 boys for about 5 days. Should be interesting! They are gonna have a blast.

Now I am sitting here listening to the dogs stomach gurgle like I've never heard before. Why you ask? Because when he is outside supposed to be doing his business he is out there (stop reading if you are eating...NOW) eating his poop, my other dogs poop too. Why? I know its just a matter of time before he starts puking tonight. I am so not looking forward to it.

Okay off to bed!

Pre-School=Mortgage Payment

How is it even possible for Preschool to be so expensive? I mean I am talking about another mortgage payment here. That is just freaking unbelievable. The nice school that the boys loved was so expensive. So today I toured another one, a much much cheaper one hoping it would be okay but still up to my standards. Yeah completely different environment. I need to find a happy medium. I am leaving in like 10 to tour yet another one. Their website did not have rates, nor did she give them to me over the phone. I am sure that means EXPENSIVE! I'll post later and let you know. Maybe I should home school? Oh geez! Okay more later.
