I am so looking forward to vacation. We are going on a couple of smaller ones this year which makes it even more exciting. First we are going to Branson, yes I know I said it was a strange place, but the kids had a blast there and we thought it would be fun for a first weekend out of school trip. Then we are going to San Antonio. This will be the ( Read more... )

Recently I made a bad judge of character. It was on a guy I've known for a while through my sons cub scout pack. I thought he was the nicest guy. I really did. So I thought I'd set him up with my good friend. They talked first and then set up a date to meet. This guy was all over the chance to meet her. I don't understand. They exchanged phone ( Read more... )

All my friends are so different. They all have very unique personalities, values and views. (That could be why some don't like each other very well.)And they are all very precious to me. They all have wonderful qualities that I aspire to or admire. For instance, M (initials to protect the innocent)is very smart. She is also loving, generous, ( Read more... )

Recently I have written about my big moving plans or lack there of. I have been diligently searching the internet for any and all info I can find about moving to the UK. Some promising and some quite frankly, disappointing ( Read more... )

Seems that all I can think of lately is that I wanna move. I mean I really wanna move! To another house, in another state and preferably in another country.(I don't have anything against the U.S., I just wanna experience life in a foreign country before I die.) We've always talked about living in Italy for a year when the kids were out of the house ( Read more... )

Twas three weeks before Christmas and all through my house, are traps left over from catching a mouse. The cleaning and decorating have begun without hitch, in hopes that my in-laws take notice and don't ditch. When all of a sudden there arouse such a clutter, from baking all day-cookies made of butter. The stockings and laundry are being washed ( Read more... )

It will be five days till my oldest turns 20. I just simply can't get over that.(not to mention that I am simply not old enough to have a 20 year old) I remember her birth and being pregnant with her, but yet I can't remember the neighbors name. How does that work? She has been the perfect child. I miss her being little though. She was so ( Read more... )

Another halloween has come and gone and another year is coming to an end. It seems as though once halloween is over it's just about Christmas. Time goes by so quickly, especially in the fall. I spent hours upon days preparing for the big day(or days),sewing, baking and carving. This year my son was Nacho Libre and my little one was Peter Pan. The ( Read more... )

Why oh why do we have to throw up? I mean I realize it has to come out if it's upsetting your stomach, but why throw up? Ick, ick, ick, I just had to clean up my 5 year olds puke(granted its not the same as a grown-ups puke, but it's puke non the less!)and I nearly puked myself! Somehow though it's easier when it's your own kid. I mean no puke is ( Read more... )

I am always amazed at how many people come in and out of our lives. Of course you have the people that will be there forever, parents, siblings and really close friends, but the others are just coming and going. As if through a revolving door in your life. (cool) I mean there were neighbors, classmates, teachers and even your parents friends kids ( Read more... )
