3200 Lights!

We’ve been buying up lights to decorate the outside of our house for about a month now. We decided to frame the house with purple lights and light up the bushes in front of our house with red. Then a blue swag light set in front of the garage. Ralph and Denise knew of our [...]

Our Turkey Day

Our Thanksgiving was positively wonderful. I managed to get everything prepared and cooked on time… mostly. The turkey was a bit late. I was going to put it in at 11 but my mom insisted not to put it in till 1. So I did what she said and it was a bit late, lol. [...]

Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope everyone has a very happy and wonderful Thanksgiving!

Weee!

It’s still snowing! They are saying it’s not going to stay but… it hasn’t gone anywhere yet. They haven’t closed schools but they did cancel afternoon Kindergarten and all field trips.
Casey and Cody are so excited. I don’t think Cody has ever seen snow that he could remember. In fact, I don’t think [...]

It’s SNOWING!!!

Maybe, just maybe, we’ll get some good snow? I hope so. It’s been so long…. Right now it’s coming down pretty good and just starting to stick. Will it last? You never know… it’s sooooooooooo pretty! I want 3 feet of snow please!
I just checked the weather forecast and all it says is lots [...]

Ha. I was right, Ralph. :)

It’s amazing what a little shift in furniture can do to make a room MUCH better. When we first moved in, Jack and Ralph convinced me to set up our living room a certain way. Well I’ve hated it all these months (since June) and finally this weekend I told Jack, “we’re changing this”. Jack [...]

Keep Cory in your thoughts….

You have heard me talk about my best friend Cathy a few times and might have seen her post comments on my site. You all know how dear Cathy is to me. For 18 years she’s been the best friend someone like me could have.
Well now she needs some positive energy and prayers. Cathy’s sister [...]

Kindergarten — hard core!

I need to rant a bit about Casey’s kindergarten class. First, he has a ton of homework. And his teacher has changed the way she wants homework done three times. It’s been a bit maddening. When I first met this teacher I thought ok, she’s new. She looks really young. But then she said she’s [...]

My woodstove owns me….

So we had some wood delivered to us about a month ago. It was supposed to be split and seasoned. But it turns out most of it was green. So we called and complained and they delivered another half a cord (sp?) for free. But it’s half green too. So, don’t use “Woody’s Tree Service” [...]

work work work

I have been working tons of hours. (I’ve been working for this company for three months already!) The good news is, I’m going to love my paycheck. The bad news is, my house is a mess… lol It’s amazing how messy a house can get when you’re working at home. When I’m not working, I’m [...]
