I Know " Where have you Been?!"

I'm sorry that I haven't not been a very good blogger. I have been busy with things. Running the kids around and working. Not to much new though. Rick and I are trying to quit smoking. We started to take Chantix last week. So hopeful this will work. We have been looking at houses for the past few weeks. Alot of potentials, but haven't found the one yet.

The dance season is almost over. It ends at the end of April. Rozalynn and Keanul's dance recitals will be May 9th. The bad news is that Roz's is at 10 am and Keanul's is at 3pm. So I am volunteering more so I can get as many free tickets as I can. That will help out the family coming. So maybe they only have to pay for one show instead of 2 shows.

Happy Friday everyone and will try to talk soon.

Wednesday Already!

The beginning of the week seemed to fly bye. So much for living in the moment. That is one of my New Year's resolutions. I think sometimes I just get caught up in my thoughts. I need to start living in the present and in the moment.

Yesterday was Mom's Birthday. Happy Birthday to a very special lady in my life. I had a lovely lunch with her. We have been very blessed to have her another year with us. And I can't wait for the next B-Day! Each day is a blessing. I am greatful to God to have been apart of this truly wonderful, kind hearted, loving, nurturing, friend, and mother. She is truly one of a kind.

Thank You Jeani. I love you. I hope that you had a wonderful birthday!

Just Another Monday

I hope that everyone had a great New Years!

It's back to work and the kids are back to school. Roz stated last night she was ready to go back to school. Keanul on the other hand not so excited. Isn't it great how your children have different out look and opinions on the same subjects. Rick is on second shift this week and I think for a few weeks. Which will leave alot of the running at night for me.

Well that about all for me today. Need to go and pick up Roz at school.

Safe and Happy New Year's

Well Christmas is done and over with. It seems to come so fast and leaves just as fast. I think the kids got all they wanted for this Christmas and more. Rozalynn got her Bratz dolls and Keanul got his coat that he wanted.

New Year's Eve is tomorrow. I can't believe the year is almost done. Crazy! the years seem to fly bye when you get older. More than likely I will be in bed before mid-night. Rick and I don't go out on New Year's Eve too many drunk drivers for us. It safe just to stay at home. So all you brave partyers please be careful and get a designated driver.

I would also like to say Happy Birthday to a very special Uncle/Brother in law, Mark. I hope that you had a wonderful B-day!

Salvation Army!

Well we have most of are Christmas shopping done. We just have a few gifts for Roz than we are done. Thank you Jesus. The only bad thing about last minute shopping are the last minute shoppers. Where is the Christmas joy? the Christmas spirit? Why are some people so rude, impatient, and unkind. Is this what Christmas is truly about now. No giving, kindness, and joyfulness. What has happen to it all. Have we became a society of greed, and whats in it for me people? I pray that we have not. This is a joyful time of the year for this is when our savior has been born. The true meaning of Christmas, Jesus.

But, I think God answered this question last week for me. Rick and I went to Wal-Mart for wind shield wipers, and as every year the Salvation Army volunteers were out. For that night the youth hockey team were out singing and ringing their bells so proudly. Every time someone put money in the bucket they would hoot and hauler! They were such alively bunch of boys. Dedicating there time to help for such a great cause. You couldn't walk away without laughter or a smile. There is Christmas spirit, kindness, and joyfulness. It's right in front for us. We don't have to look very hard for it. God shows us when we need to see it, and reminds us when we need to remember. Isn't he awesome. Thank you God for the reminder.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!

Simple Plans

Well yesterday the kids got there snow day. As I stayed in my pajama until noon. It was nice. We got a lot done. Keanul did the dishes, and Roz and I cleaned and straighten up her room. That was a chore all in it's own. The kids probably wished they had school. lol.

Today I plan to do nothing. Well some running around. I'm going to return the Christmas lights that I got last night. Half of them worked and the other half didn't. Which sucked. I didn't get the Christmas tree done yet. But it's up. So, I'm going in the right direction. Than I'm going out to lunch with my mother and sister to discuss our Christmas plans. Which should be fun. That's all I got going on today. A nice light schedule. Just trying to keep it simple.

Simple is good.

Snow Day!

I think tomorrow might be the first snow day. Keanul is praying that it is. All the after school activities were cancelled tonight. Seeing how it is raining right now. Soon the snow will be coming. Which is not the best driving weather. So I am greatful I don't have to work tomorrow. But that's Wisconsin weather for you.

The family and I went down to Grandmas' house for supper. She made a wonderful roast for supper. For most of you that know Jeani this is a great accomplishment for her. She doesn't cook much. I'm so proud of her. Way to go Mom! Love you. Mom and I watched some old home videos. Which is fun to do. It's almost like finding an old roll of film that you forgot to develop.
