Where have I been......

Amazing how one can get so busy with the Holiday's. Since my last post so much has happened. I have lot's of picture's to share, of course can't do that until I upload them...ugh...

December has come and gone, as one get's "less younger" seems they come and go faster. I just want the pace of life to slow down, I don't know if it's living in California but the pace is just to fast for me. I love reading this one sahm's blog who lives in "NC". They moved from a big beautiful house to a house 1/2 it's size and older located on a farm, but you know she could not sound happier, they have three children and reading her blog it just sounds she is really enjoying her life raising her kids and being a wife. May sound simple to some, but to me sounds just peaceful and happy. OOOh how I pray to have a place like that, someday.

Until my next post, promise it will be soon, gotta post pics..hehehe.

Remember love life and laugh often and when you figure out how to stop "kids" from growing up can ya' let me know :o).

What am I listening to today....

messed up and this one, Hurt by JOhnny cash was playing I tried to update but lost my post on this one ;o)

42 years ago todayyyyyyy........

I entered this world. THIS SHOULD BE A MAJOR CELEBRATING KINDA DAY, dont'cha think!!!lol....ok ok I can be a little "full" of myself for one day, can't I??..

WOW just seeing, saying and hearing that number amazes me. I mean hellooooooo I AM NOWWWW F O U R T Y T W O years old!!!!Kinda weird I still feel like 20!! So now instead of saying i'm getting old I say "less younger"heheheh that's what my Grandma Marie always says.

Awww I love my life, my kids and yes of course my husband of 23 years!!! Dannnng I've been married half my life.

So today my friend Virginia took me to Mimi's cafe for breakfast then we went to Best Buy to see what there having on sale on Friday (yes I am one of those nuts out there) although I don't buy much I just like to "be" out amongst them!!lol...by the way if anyone needs a computer one will be on sale friday for $189.00 YES $189.00 but there's only five in our store and like 500 peeps waiting outside to get in!!!

My mom called me and told me what she was craving and ate when I was born which was ENCHILADA's!! My sister, maria, karen, Debster, and all my friends on the HHC message board wished me a HAPPY DAYYY!!!

The only bummer,is my husband signed up for his teacher duty today which was to chaperone three basketball games at his high school, he does it in one day to get it over and done with. OF COURSE he picked today he said he didn't realize it was MY day until like two weeks ago when he had to tell me.....Sooo he has instructed my kids they have to take me to dinner and he's paying!!!lol....

So I end with this, enjoy every moment, don't sweat the small stuff, enjoy your kids the dust, dishes and wash will be there tomorrow. Life is short, remember to laugh often with your girlfriends, make time for yourself make every moment count!!!

Ok so yes I have been a bad blogger, sorry, been crazy busy!!! This past weekend was of course Veteran's Day,,,,I SALUTE and Honor all the men and women who have served and are serving now!!! Thank you for your service!!!

This weekend was also my daughters 9th birthday!!! Wow amazing how time flys as we get LESS YOUNGER as my Grandma Marie would say. Awww just saying that name makes me smile. She is a beautiful woman, I will have to tell her story, my grandma has dimentia and it is a very sad thing to see a loved one lose there memory....I'll blog later about that.

So my daughter's day turned into a weekend!!! I took her and her two little friends to go see Santa Clause III totally funny move, I love anything about christmas!!! Then went to eat at Red Robin, came home went to a boutique bought a few things. Saturday I cleaned and went to another boutique bought a few items, then stayed up until the weeeee hours of the morning chatting with my bestest friend THE DEBSTER and SHE IS NUTZ FOR PERRY,,,,,STEVE PERRY THAT IS!!! I wrapped my daughters gifts for sunday, straightened up and went to bed at 2:00a.m.....Woke up sunday morning at 7:15 started making dd's cake she wanted a dolphin cake, it came out cute at least I think so and she like it, so that's all that matters, right. We celebrated her birthday about 11:00 with presents and cake. Didn't eat the cake it was to early. I then got ready for my PAMPERED CHEF show at my friends house, turned out great and we had a lot of fun!!! Came home made dinner, ate and finished typing my husband's papers!!! Totally a long weekend, glad it's monday and now it's back to cleaning this place!!!!

A field trip, a dance and a cookie dough kinda day!!!

Ok so off I go driving to Jurupa for a archeoligical dig with my 6th grader son. Now I went on this fieldtrip last year, and it's interesting for about the first 10 minutes but then is completely "mindnumbing" afterwards. Thank goodness I had my friend Virginia with me, we yapped the whole time and enjoyed ourselves!!!LOL...

So now I'm thinking of my other sone the 7th grader who is now at his FIRST DANCE!!!!whaaaaaaaaaaaa when did he grow up!!!!NO IT'S NOT ALLOWED, I tell you something is wrong when one minute your "baby boy" is needing your help to cut his pancakes and the next he's asking you if he can go to a dance!!!!NO THIS IS NOT RIGHT!!!! I can't be getting old!!!LOL....Of course I can't get pictures because my son says I HAVE ENOUGH!!! HA I don't have any of him dancing....ooooooo how I wish I could be the character from the FANTASTIC FOUR and be invisible!!! I NEED A PICTURE!!! I WANT A PICTURE....lol I pick him up at 4:00pm and hopefully he will have something to say besides "it was ok"!!!!

Then I am offering my services at the elementary to hand out cookie dough!!! FUN FUN!!!NOT......it's not so fun job I'll be there from 4:30 to 7:00 waiting on parents to come pick up there dough,,,,,maybe after seeing so much cookie dough I'll get sick of it and forever vow not to eat COOKIES!!!!!!....hmmm MAYBE NOT!!!LOL

Until next time, DO SOMETHING FOR YOURSELF TODAY!!!MAMA NEEDS TO HAVE FUN TO!!!

IT'S NOVEMBER!!!!

Ok can you believe it!!! October just zipped by. So on the agenda this month I have high hopes of getting some things done around the house and celebrating one of my favorite holidays THANKSGIVING!!!

Today is the day to pull out my "decorations" and do some serious dusting. Saying that word "dusting" makes me cringe,,,I hate dusting..lol

I sure hope it gets coole, we've had some great weather lately but it's time for some cooler weather the kind that you can stay inside put on your fav toasty outfit mine would be my velour pants and a sweatshirt!! Make some homemade soup or your favorite comfort foood...ok now I've made myself hungry!HA!

So time to get your decorations out if you haven't already, start planning your Thanksgiving dinner (yes it's never to early). Enjoy your home today and have a great day!!!

catch ya later;o)

How to kill a rattlerrrrrr.......

It's Monday!!!!

Ok so after a looooooong weekend I'm off to a pretty good start for a Monday!!! I love Monday's, why you ask, BECAUSE I HAVE THE HOUSE TO MYSELF!!! That said, I have lot's of cleaning to do and getting stuff ready for tomorrow, it's HALLOWEEN. I was reading one of my favorite scrapper blogs. Her name is Heidi Swapp and she is so cool, creative and a great mom, her kids are to cute. Her latest edition is her little girl named "Capri" how cute is that. If you have a chance checkout her blog.

Look at the cutest clock she did, I am so going to that. I plan on doing one for my mom, of course she will cry. She always cries when "her" kids give her presents??lol.

Here's Heidi's clock

It's all in the "title".....

at least I think so. My newest friend from (Happy Houswewives Club) Jeanie, her cool site can be found here. She is a master crocheter(did I spell that right??) by the way!!!!

Ok, so I saw what she did to my other friend Dana's blog and mentioned I wanted to learn how to do a banner. Lil' Ms Jeanie offered her services and of course I "said yes yes". I'm telling you I cannot wait for you to see it. It's to cute and just so me. She also helped me to change the name of my blog, I'm luving it!!!

Be patient it's coming,,,,,

I found my house!!!!

ok so I'm reading this blog and I think THAT'S IT, that's my porch!!!! DH and I are completely different in everything and house's is one of them. I always say when we get to heaven my house will be the one with the huge porch a chair and blankey on it!!!That's it!! nothing but the front of the house. He's a collector of stuff if I'd let him he could fill this house up in 2seconds flat collecting anything and everything!!but that's another story.

Ok so isn't that house beautiful!!! That is what I've had in my mind, so now I have to find a way to pay for it and build it. A girl can dream......

ok ok ok so I had the wrong day.....

what a goof, in all my excitement about "Grey's Anatomy" uhhh I sorta kinda forgot that yesterday was wednesday and today is acutally THURSDAY!!!LOL....sooooooo tonight is the night to sit and chill with my fav show and a nice cup of tea!!!

Can you say McDreamy....

OOOOOO man this man just makes me scream (in a good way)LOL!!!! He is beautimus, gorgeous and just luffly!!! Grey's Anatomy is on tonight can't wait, I'll be in heaven for 60 minutes. A girl can dream can't she? Catch you after the show.....

Can you Dance?

this is what I asked my 7th grade son. He is so cool. If I do say so myself. He said he can't but he can fake it good..LOL.....remember your first dance? I do, it was seventh grade and it was afterschool. The teacher Mr. Smith was the d-jay(yes that's the guy that spinned the 45 records)!!! He was cool, like he just stepped out of the 50's. The record player was that brown beige one they had at the school, somehow he had two little speakers connected to it. Anyhow, I walk in with my friends and the boy's are on one side and the girls on the other. The girls all excited about being there and wondering which boy was going to ask us to dance. My first dance was with Tootsie (nickname) ooooo man I was so excited!!! Always and Forever was the "slow" song to dance to back then and of course the girls new all the words to the song and we would sing out loud!!lol..............now back to my son's dance, which he doesn't know if he wants to go. So I'll have to post after and let you know if he does go, will have to teach him a few smooth dance moves for him to do so he doesn't look goofy!!!lol.....

New to me....

that is, this BLOGGING thing. I am a fan of a couple blogs. Of course my favorite being "scrapbooking" blogs. Jeanette's blog is one of my fav's. She has a passion for decorating and scrapbooking and of course "shopping". I'm learning the in's and out's of the gadgets and right now can't figure out how to space in between paragraph's. I hit enter and "nothing" happens so if it seems like I'm "running" on and not spacing between paragraphs blame it on the "blog" template...hehehe.
