LET IT SNOW LET IT SNOW LET IT SNOW

I have not seen snow like this since I left New York 19 years ago!!! I really love it! I would love it even more if I didn't have to be out in it twice today. I was planning on doing my xmas shopping until I realized how bad the roads were. I had to go rescue my daughter because her car broke down, and by broke down I mean ran out of gas, GGGEEEEZZZ, and she wants to be treated like an adult, what adult do you know runs outta gas at least once a month, ok that's another blog matter. Anyway she broke down on MacArthur just east of Maize. We live at Maize and Kellogg so I thought no problem I'll just run down and get her. hahahahahahaahah it took me over an hour to get her and get back home. I couldn't see anything and my windshield and wiper blades kept freezing up even with the defroster running full blast. I get home and get stuck in the damn drive way. I finally get it unstuck and safe and sound in the garage, sit on my big butt and the phone rings. Tracy's mom is stuck on K42 and Tyler, Mom is freaking out so I go to get her. Still can't see a damn thing but this time I figured out how to put the car in 4 wheel drive, BIG DIFFERENCE!!! Well I'm driving 5 mph can't find her. Then this car had just stopped in the middle of k42 to clear windows, guess who? That's right mom. She's on the phone with Tracy and so am I. Mom is freaking out so we decide to pull into Cessna Employees Credit Union and she gets stuck in the driveway, ggggrrrrr. Heath, Tracy's hubby, pulls up behind me, tries to get her out, no luck. We leave her car there till the snow stops and we can get a tow truck to pull her out. I'm already out so I decide to try and get to the bank, I make it with 5 minutes to spare of them closing, AND THE FR*^*&&& CLOSED EARLY!!!!!!!!!!! Ok not a problem I'm out, we need food, Dillons is right up the road. Got a little grocery shopping done and head home. Now I'm sitting here in my pj's getting ready to go downstairs and scrap the night away. I will have to go xmas shopping tomorrow. I WILL NEVER LET IT GO THIS LATE AGAIN!! How dumb am I???!! (that is a retorical question, EVERYONE)

So everyone stay in, stay warm and scrap the night away. Make sure to take pictures of this snow, it may be another 19 years or more before we see it like this again.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

BBBBAAAAAHHHHHHH HUMBUG

I JUST CAN'T GET INTO THE CHRISTMAS MOOD!!! I don't know if it's because I've been sick for over a month, really bad the last 3 or so days or because I haven't done any shopping yet. Yes you heard me right I have not started shopping for my Christmas gifts yet!!

Tracy and I are going Saturday and getting it all done in one day :) I hate shopping and since money is so tight this year it really sucks!! I wish I had an endless credit limit on a cc so I could just get anything and everything they want and then be done with it. I hate the pressure, what if the kids don't like what I get for them, what if it's not enough? I wish there really was a Santa, he could save me a bunch of stress!!!!!!

Okay enough of a downer blog for everyone tonight. I am feeling better. I will get my shopping done tomorrow. I will have everything wrapped by Christmas eve, ha hahahahahahahha.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE. BE SAFE.

Blah Blah Blah

Hi Everyone, long time no post.

I don't really have much to say. I don't want my loyal blogger fans to think I forgot about them though, LOL.

I've been ok, trying to get another damn cold though. I'm so sick of being sick. It seems like its been over a month I've either been really sick or fighting something off. Parker is right there with me. I finally broke down and had my hubby bring him to the doctor yesterday. Poor kid has had a cold for over a month but his cough got really bad so I called the dr. I know I'm a terrible mother for letting him wait so long, but really it was just a cold in the beginning, it only got bad the past couple of days. Turns out he has bronchitis, doc put him on an anitbiotic. Kate also has been feeling like poopoo so since Parker was off to the doctor she went too! Turns out she has mono. YES YOU HEARD RIGHT!! Mono, I told her kissing all those boys would catch up to her eventually. Needless to say all she's been doing the past few days is sleeping IN MY BED, no wonder I can't kick whatever I have, all these sick kids sleeping in my bed on my pillow, COODEES (sp?) Anyway doc didn't put her on any meds, told her the virus just needs to run it's cycle. She can still go to school and work as long as she feels up to it. She doesn't really miss school but she is fighting me with work. I told her if I found out someone made my food and had mono I'd be pissed!

I have no huge plans this weekend. Tomorrow will be busy for me. I work in the morning, dentist at 10am, field trip at 12:00- 2:15, afternoon routes, off work at 5pm then a little Christmas get together with some friends. I need a gift for that but have no idea what to get, any ideas? It needs to be $15.00 or under HELP!!! Saturday I have a class then we are loading up in the car and driving around to look at Christmas lights. This is something we do every year and the kids have been bugging us about it since the day after Thanksgiving. Sunday I hope to stay in my jammies all day and curl up on the couch and watch movies. My life never turns out like I plan so who knows what's really going to happen.

I took some pictures of our Christmas tree and have gotten a request to post them, so here I go. I've also included my candle collection and various decorations.

Have a great weekend!

These 2 candles are old than my 18 yr old daughter!

The rest of these are about 15 yrs old

PS: Guess I did have something to say after all :)

more pictures

I found my fingers

I thought they were lost forever ;)

Just another boring week with me. I have decorated my bus with lots of stuff. Here's some pictures. I hope you can see them well enough.

Well seems to be I can only post this many. I try and post more in another post.

We also went to Prairie Pines Christmas Tree Farm last weekend. We didn't cut down our own tree, they didn't have many to cut down. We chose, instead, an 8 1/2 ft precut tree. We decided to have it flocked so we get to pick it up this Saturday. I can't wait, my tree is gonna look like it was snowed on!!! I got to take pictures of the kids sitting on a sleigh and also on Santa's lap. They have this huge fireplace and I had the kids and dh sit on the fireplace and I took pictures of them too. I can try and post those pictures in another post as well.

So Jennifer are we having a decorating party at your house Saturday night?

Well I can't think of anything else to bore you all with so I'll get off here for now.

Just another Tuesday

Not much going on with me today. Just been busy decorating, decorating, and guess what more decorating. The house is starting to look like someone threw up Christmas all over the place, lol. I've been working on the inside, and dh has been working on the outside. He didn't have an extension ladder to do the lights around the house so he went and bought one today. Half the lights made it up, so I'm sure he'll be up there again tomorrow finishing up. Although, knowing him he'll play with the lights and decorations for awhile getting them just right. Then i'll go out there and have him move things around ;)

My bus decorations started going up today too! I have a ways to go though since I can only work on them about an hour or so a day. I have the garland up, the stocking name tags, and some ornaments hanging from the ceiling. I still have ho ho ho, candy canes, and snowflakes to put up, so far. I'm planning on making more, before I'm done decorating the bus the kids are gonna be sick of Christmas, YEAH RIGHT!

Well time to go eat good 'ol crapdonalds for dinner. Since dh was busy with the lights he didn't get dinner cooked, so take out it is.

Long time no type

Hi Everyone,

It's been awhile since I blogged, sorry. Not much going on in my life lately. I had Thanksgiving at my house. Tracy and her family came and we had a great time. My in-laws showed up for dessert and stayed for about 2 hours, long visit. It was nice catching up with the out of town folks, plus I got to show off my new house!! :) After we got the kids settled down the adults played cards for awhile. After cards Tracy and I settled in and made out a list for the husbands to go shopping with Friday morning. No we were not crazy enough to go out into the cold, crowded night and try to get some good deals, WE SENT OUR HUSBANDS! We weren't able to get what we wanted, oh well, it wasn't meant to be then.

Tracy, me, and her mom went the craft show at Century 2 today. I spent way to much money but had a great time. I bought Christmas decorations for the new house, I really didn't have anything good to decorate with. I'm off to a good start now. I didn't want to go the show but Tracy dragged me out and I'm the one that bought the most stuff! Afterwards we went to dinner at Olive Garden. There was absolutely no wait for a table on a Friday night at 6pm, WE WERE SHOCKED, but happy. I was even nice and brought home dinner for my hubby (I needed to suck up after all the money I had just spent, LOL)

I did not make my one goal today, that was to get to the Attic. I was very disappointed, I really needed paper and wanted to catch there great sale! I was thrilled to get home and do my stalking. When I read the Attic's blog I was doing the happy dance because they extended their sale through Sunday, WOO HOO, THANKS GIRLS. I'll be heading there tomorrow afternoon sometime.

After I restock my paper, it's time to make Christmas decorations for my bus. I'm going to make stockings with the kid's names on them for there assigned seating. I'm also going to make 6" letters that say Merry Christmas. I'll also do reindeer, a hearth, santa sled, and a ton of snowflakes. I'm probably gonna have to hang a close line in my scrap area just to hand the flakes on so the stickle can dry. OH Yes tons of stickles is going to be involved!

Well I think this book needs to come to a close. Hope I haven't board you all to sleep and if I have, GET TO BED!!

Love ya
