Entries from Brandon's Puppy tagged with 'My Crazy Life!'
It’s been a long, long week
Monday: Work from 8:30am until 6:45pm, then a visit to my grandmother’s house. Got home at 9:45, went to bed at 11pm. Tuesday: Work at 9:00, Matty’s school called at 10:15 that he threw up three times. MIL picked him...
Recuperating
What a crazy whirlwind weekend I had! On Thursday, I met my favorite Mami Hen Carrie, and she is as fabulosa in person as she seems on her blog. I also got to spend some time with Marta and Kikita,...
This weekend's To-Do list
Since we were so productive last week, we decided to keep up the good work this weekend. On our agenda so far: paint the fence and the colums in the front of the house, bathe Sandy (let's not talk about...
Mother's Day Gift Ideas
It's unbelievable how fast this year is going by. Mother's Day is just a week and a half away! The folks at Snackpicks asked me to provide our readers with some gift ideas for Mother's Day. I tried to include...
Busy Holy Saturday
We had an early start today: went to my friend/neighbor's Egg Hunt, followed by a party at Chuck E Cheese, then a much-needed trip to Costco. I knew Costco was going to be a madhouse, but considering that everyone was...
Spring Break? HA!!!
B has been off from school all week, and M is off tomorrow and Monday. You'd think I'd get some sort of break on the craziness with only one kiddo to drop off at school during the week, no homework...
The Great Outdoors
I felt so productive on Thursday afternoon: after the boys and I got home, we put the leash on Sandy and walked for about 45 minutes, going through on end of our neighborhood, walked around the lake, and back home...
Grateful
Next month will be one year since my doctor put me on a beta blocker to lower my blood pressure and decrease the heart palpitations caused by my previous job. I haven't taken a single pill since last June, when...
Time for a haircut
It's about that time: I need to cut my hair. It's a comfortable length right now for styling, but unfortunately when it gets too far past my shoulders, it causes my back to break out a bit. It's nothing that...
The Shark Guy
My sister and I went to a wake yesterday evening, and afterwards went to Sergio's for something to eat. We walked in and sat at one of the first tables, behind a guy eating by himself. I thought he looked...
Exhausted
Went to the first showing of Alice in Wonderland with a bunch of people from work last night. I'm running on 4 hours of sleep. Wish I could call it an early night, but it's already 9pm, and I just...
One person's trash is another person's treasure
I participated in my community's seasonal Clean-Out Sale yesterday morning. My neighbor and I split the cost of a space, and we sold almost everything in our inventory. It's amazing how much stuff people have. One guy had a small...
Sugar and Spice
One of the two owners at work was in town this week, and she brought her daughter with her. She’s the cutest, sweetest seven-year-old…wasn’t shy at all, gave hugs to everyone every day, chatted with everyone who paid her even...
Scatterbrain
I can't seem to remember things without writing them down. It's a shame really, I used to pride myself on my memory. I was a human phone book, had addresses and phone numbers memorized for dozens of people. But lately?....not...
Bunch-a-Stuff
Finally got an oil change today. I think it was close to 10K miles since I last did one. My coworker lent me a crate for the pups, which we set up last night. Puppies slept rather well in it...
Puppy update, and pictures!
Sandy has been down all day. Brandy left for her new home yesterday around 5pm, and Sarah (or, TPFKAA*) left with her new family around 8pm. I'm sure Sandy noticed their absence as soon as they were gone, but my...
Productivity level: FAIL
I woke up full of energy, with big plans to put away all the Christmas stuff, clean the house, attack my bathroom (which is desperately in need of a good scrubbing), and possibly start scrapbooking. Hadn't heard that word in...
Resolutions
My latest Snackpicks post features my seven resolutions for the new year: 1. Keeping the house clean-er. 2. Become truly debt-free (easier said than done...the hardest of the seven, by far. 3. Friday night play-dates (for the boys) 4. More...
Long Week
Besides having to take the puppies to the vet on Tuesday, it's been quite an eventful week. My grandmother was in the hospital for the last three days. She is much better and was released today around noon. My boss's...
Canine news (Warning: Adorable puppy pics included!)
Sandy and the puppies went to the vet on Tuesday morning. She's had diarrhea since Sunday night, and the puppies needed their first deworming. We think the culprit of Sandy's tummy troubles is a bag of food we bought on...
Crickets
Hi all, I know it's been quiet...sorry, didn't have much chance for blogging this weekend. We took Sandy and the puppies to the vet on Friday morning. Everything is great! They gave her a calcium supplement, since she's feeding so...
A couple of updates
Inspected the puppies today: It's a boy, and a girl, and a girl, and a girl, and a boy, and a girl, and a girl. The two boys have homes already, my grandfather and sis wanted them. Two girls have...
Happy Birth Day!
Hubby left Sandy outside this morning because he was scheduled to be at work all day today, and we didn't want any little surprises when we got home. Well, we got some surprises anyway...seven, to be exact. That's how many...
Out with the old, in with the new
In order to make room for some of the things the jolly guy dressed in red will be bringing, I've listed a few of the boys' neglected toys online. Considering how expensive toys are these days, I quite enjoy making...
Things happen
I was going to bake two Flan Cakes tonight. My plans got cancelled when I had a major allergy attack at work today. And, hubby dropped off Matty on his way to work at my office because last night he...
Stray thoughts
*My birthday is in exactly two weeks....YAY!! *The tradition continues: C and I are going shopping on Black Friday. I'm mostly keeping her company since I only have six gifts to buy. So far, we've got five stores on our...
I'm getting too old for this...
Today I was barely functioning, running on just four hours of sleep. Don't get me wrong, it was well worth it, but I'm quite anxious to get into my comfy bed and sleep for at least ten hours. I'd try...
Blessed
My little sister came over around 11am and spent the entire day with us. She sat with us for a while as we wrapped up breakfast, then hung out with the boys for pretty much the entire afternoon as I...
Upcoming
Here are a few things I'm looking forward to during the next few weeks (besides the holidays, of course): - My stepbrother's birthday this coming Saturday. - Hubby's BFF's kids' birthday party on Sunday. -The New Moon premiere on the...
I need to do that more often!
March 28. That was the last time I treated myself to a manicure and pedicure, before yesterday. That's more than seven months ago. That's just WRONG. I went all out yesterday and had a complete self-care day: I got a...
Me Time
For the first time in months (very close to a year actually) I’m setting some time out for me this weekend. Self-care time, as we call it at work. I called my aunt at her salon this morning and made...
Trick or Treat!!
Headed to a birthday party in a few minutes, and then BFF Viv's annual Halloween Bash. But before all that, I knocked all the following off my to-do list today: Bathed Sandy. Folded and put away all the laundry that...
It's Fall in Florida!!
What a lovely day! We spent the day at the park adjacent to my old elementary school. We were supposed to be having an informal 15-year high school reunion, but only 8 alumni showed up so it turned into some...
We were adopted!!!
A sweet little girl on four legs found us and decided to keep us on Sunday. Hubby was home after working a night shift while I was at my cousin's baby shower (boys were at their grandma's). Sometime in the...
Don't miss me too much, I'll be back soon.
Did you watch Telemundo tonight? Part two airs tomorrow. I looked for tonight's clip online, but I couldn't find it. I guess it will be available after part two airs. I'll hunt them down and post them. Check back during...
Home Improvement
I've decided that hubby and I will spend part of the day on Saturday attempting to complete the repairs started a year ago. (Yes, tomorrow it's a year. I am thoroughly ashamed.) I have assigned myself the task of painting...
Whew, that was close!
This morning I got a call from the company accountant: three direct deposits had some sort of error during the transmission and weren't going to go through for tomorrow. Of course mine was one of them. For a second there...
Not so new, but on the way to being improved
I'm making baked ziti for dinner. I love making baked ziti; it's quick and easy, and a tray will easily last us for two days, sometimes longer. I've been reading a few new blogs lately (those of my co-writers for...
I'm a cool blogger!!
At least that's what it feels like... Just a bit over a month ago, I was contacted by a media consultant about becoming an independently contracted writer for a website featuring some products we all know and love. After repeatedly...
'Bout Time!!
I’ve noticed that a lot of my favorite bloggers have a “100 Things About Me” (or some variation), so after almost six years of blogging, I’ve decided to join the bandwagon and make my own. My regulars know most of...
The positive side
After reading C's post, I realized that my previous entry is just too Debbie Downer. We all know what a positive person I am, and that post was just a small moment of weakness. I'm borrowing from my friend and...
Free Slurpees, Happily Ever After, and Pink Underwear
Yup, those words just about sum up our weekend in Orlando! Warning: this is a very long post, so I'm putting half of it below the fold. Hubby and I have been to Orlando countless times, but I think this...
Home Sweet Home
It will probably take me all week to recover from the whirlwind weekend we had. We left Unversal last night at 930pm, headed for home. Just under four hours later, at 1:20am, we were parking in our driveway. By the...
Headed North
There are a couple of posts I wanted to write before the weekend, including sharing my new favorite Twilight-related site (hhmm...guess I just did that), and some other things I don't remember right now but wrote down somewhere. They will...
Boom, Boom, Pow
(this post has nothing to do with the Black Eyed Peas song. WB used it as her recent blog post title, and I liked it so much I'm stealing it!) It's been a busy weekend around here, and not just...
Blurbs
- Annoyed: I signed up for "affordable" health insurance for the kids through the state, and it's less affordable for us than what I paid for all of us at my previous job! I guess it's my own fault for...
Bliss
So I missed my BIL's birthday celebration last night because we couldn't get a sitter (and I had a headache, and hubby was half asleep by 9:30pm, but the top reason was the sitter), and we missed a family party...
enthused
Lots of fun stuff going on these next couple of days. First, I'm watching my niece and nephew while my stepbro and SIL go to a wedding. Then, tomorrow night, we're stepping out with all my siblings for my BIL's...
Experiencing serious withdrawals
Hubby asked me yesterday when my cousin's wedding is. Seems he's as eager to head to Central Florida as I am. There was a time when we would go on Orlando vacations at least three times a year. I lost...
Social butterfly
In about an hour, I'll be heading out to pick up Claudia, and we're going to a high school reunion event. It's at a club, and it's for the first five graduating classes from our school. I treated myself to...
Change is good
I can think of no better natural acne treatment than removing stressors from your life. I've noticed, in just the last three weeks, that my skin is rejuvenated. I used to get blotchy patches of tiny little bumps on the...
Productive
It felt so good to scratch so many things off the to-do list yesterday. The boys and I cleaned up the backyard in the morning while hubby made breakfast, while simultaneously doing laundry. Then we all got dressed and headed...
The bright side
Lots of stressors going on lately. Yesterday I wore a skirt I hadn't worn in a while. It's always been ever so slightly big on me, but yesterday it felt as if it would fall right off my hips. One...
Book Club and Blogmeet
This week was our first book club meeting at C's house (which is lovely, no need to fret my dear!). Since the book club was her idea, she got to host the first meeting and chose Such a Pretty...
There's good news, and there's bad news
The good news is, my car was declared a total loss by the body shop. Yes, this is good news. Once we get the payout from the insurance company, we can use it towards a new car. If my car...
Meanderings
I had a "DOH!" moment this morning: I filled up my gas tank, $20 worth, right before I realized that we're taking the car to the body shop tomorrow and it is quite likely that I just threw away that...
In limbo
It's been almost two weeks since my accident, and we're still not sure what our next step is going to be. Hubby is taking the car to the body shop my insurance referred us to on Thursday afternoon, and I...
Re-focusing
I haven't been in the best of moods lately, there are a couple of things going on that are currently bringing me down, If you know me you know this is nothing like me, so I decided that I'll focus...
An early night? Maybe? Hopefully?
Brandon's homework is done. Both boys had dinner (I cheated...microwave mac n' cheese for them tonight) and hubby is currently bathing them. I'm baking a couple of pork chops for us, with pasta on the side. Both kitchen sinks (yes,...
Bad news
We took my car to Tire Plus this morning because we purchased a lifetime alignment plan some years ago and were hoping that getting the alignment corrected would fix the steering problem with my car. Unfortunately, they couldn't do the...
Second wind?
I’m not ashamed to say that I was in my pajamas all day. I took a two-hour nap with Matty while Brandon played during the early afternoon. The lounging continued when hubby got home from work at 3:30pm as we...
TGIF!
Oh my, what a week… in spite of it being a short one. Tuesday Brandon came home with a note from his teacher, requesting a conference because he’s misbehaving….again. Wednesday I dealt with that, so there go two days. Then...
Vacay To-Do list revisited
Let's see, I did: *Renew my license and registration. *Took the boys to the zoo with my sis and her boys. I didn't: *Have either of the two playdates, or meet up with C. C's hubby was in the ER...
During my Vay-Cay
I plan to: -Renew my license and registration (yes, I know my birthday passed. I was waiting for my time off.) -Have a playdate with an old friend and her kids. -Have another playdate with my co-worker and her little...
the silence is broken
You can blame Twilight, aging and sickness for the quiet around here. Last Thursday, a former co-worker lent me Twilight. I started it that evening and was finished by Saturday night. I devoured it (pun intended). I read Midnight Sun...
Lovely Day
We got an early start this morning, headed out around 10am for breakfast with my Godmother while hubby went off to work. She, the boys and I went to Cracker Barrel (YUM!), and feasted on eggs, bacon, pancakes and all...
Crazy Coincidences
So this morning I'm logged into one of the social networking sites, and I get a friend request from BFF Vivian. "Cool", I thought, "she finally joined". So I accept her friend request and go through her list of friends...
Non-stop Saturday
We got up about half an hour ago. We're going to have breakfast in a few minutes, then head over to my mom's house. She's having a garage sale, and I'm going to help her for as long as I...
Post-concert adventure
Even though the concert let out around 11:30pm, we didn't get home till almost 3am (2am non-DST). Our friend Meg's car wouldn't start, and we spent about an hour and a half calling tow services, trying to get a flat...
November already??
Hi, all. Hope you had a great Halloween. My two superheroes had a great time Trick or Treating and partying at our friends' house yesterday. We've got enough candy to last us through the year! Speaking of yesterday, I want...
Teacher Work Day = Mommy "Work" Day
I'm home with the boys. On our agenda for today: Wash and put away laundry Visit Brandon's Nina before she and the fam head off to Disney Buy Brandon's costume and diapers for Matty Vote Lunch with BFF Angie and...
Frugality and productivity
We've had quite the cost-cutting day today. As I mentioned earlier, FIL finished the siding on the front of the house. While the men-folk were outside working, my MIL and I gave the boys haircuts with hubby's trimmer. Of course...
Sunday night, already???
Just a quick little note to let you all know I'm okay. I wasn't much in the mood for blogging these last couple of days. I was in the mood for enjoying friends and family, and that's exactly what I...
Celebration
In honor of my maternal grandmother's 82nd birthday today, we are having a small party at my house this afternoon. Even after last night's events and only four hours of sleep, I got up at 8am when hubby started getting...
A visit with Katie and some other adventures
So I left work early to visit my BFF Angie and her new baby girl. I took the Metrorail northbound and got off at the third to last station. I was told by a coworker, "Oh, yeah, the hospital is...
Thoughts
Thank you all for all your kind words and prayers while we mourn a very special part of our family. I find solace in the fact that my grandmother is no longer suffering, and as I told Brandon, is now...
Laborous Labor Day
It's been quite a busy day. I got inspired this morning and cleaned the boys' bathroom. Then I cleaned the tile floors and washed and folded two loads of laundry. Around 3pm, hubby picked up our friend's girls as their...
Vacation Eve
As of tomorrow afternoon at 4:30pm, I will be on vacation until September 2nd 8th (I'm my state of exhaustion last night I put the wrong date)! Hubby works until 7pm, and then he'll be on vacation right along with...
First Day of school postponed
Thanks to Tropical Storm Fay, Brandon and Matthew's (and the rest of the county's) first day of school has been postponed, and there's not yet word if they'll start on Tuesday. So far we're outside the cone of terror, which...
Long Day
Brandon spent the day with me at work since his (now former) school was closed for a teacher work day. They were prepping the classrooms for the new fall semester, and getting things ready for tomorrow's Open House. He spent...
Sleepyhead
All plans for today ceased when it began to rain shortly after noon. After a late breakfast I was in a mood for a nap, and even though I told hubby to wake me up after an hour, he let...
Iron/Wood
A wedding anniversary is the celebration of love, trust, partnership, tolerance and tenacity. The order varies for any given year. ~Paul Sweeney This is one of the very first pictures hubby and I took as a couple, on his 22nd...
Busy weekend
I’m so glad Matty has a check-up Monday morning. That means I can sleep in for a bit tomorrow, very much needed after the jam-packed weekend we’re having! Yesterday we went to our favorite membership warehouse and did major groceries,...
Five weeks and counting
I'm so glad the week is finally over! While nothing significantly terrible happened, it was packed with meetings and errands and altered plans. My best friend was on vacation and asked me to take care of some paperwork related to...
Groggy Monday morning
I don't know what's worse: hubby not being able to sleep and having the TV on at 3 in the morning, or me not being able to sleep because hubby can't sleep and he has the TV on at 3...
Someday New Yorker?
The other day I bought I Feel Bad About My Neck, Nora Ephron’s book. You know who she is, even if you don’t necessarily know her by name. She’s written a bunch of screenplays, including three of my all-time favorite...
Change is inevitable
Matty turned 17 months yesterday. In about 7 weeks he'll start attending the day care/pre-school Brandon was in. I reminded the sitter of that yesterday, and she said, "when his last day comes around, don't tell me. Pretend like it's...
Good and Bad
The good: Our homeowner's insurance went down $1200 because of the mitigation discount. I'm calling the mortgage company first thing Monday for a new escrow analysis. The bad: As I'm driving into our driveway, hubby's car's power steering went out....
It's Friday!!
Although my car's not ready yet (hubby's co-worker couldn't get to it on Wednesday and is on vacation until Tuesday), it's been a pretty good week. For one, in spite of the constant rain, we didn't get wet once. I...
I don't want to jinx it
It is only Wednesday, but this week is looking a little better than the last one. The part we ordered for my car came in yesterday, and hubby's coworker is going to fix it for free today. Looks like we'll...
This is not like me
Things done today: Took Matty to the doctor. Went to Target. Tried to be frugal, but there were several things we needed that weren't on sale. Went to Best Buy, got hubby's Father's Day present, the only one we are...
I know it could be worse...
..but man, have I had a lousy week! After all the car drama, and the allergies, I thought the weekend would be trouble-free. I thought wrong. Matty got some sort of bite on his eyelid yesterday while at the sitter's,...
When it rains, it pours
Lots to say about yesterday and today's adventures. Unfortunately, I'm exhausted, and I need to get to bed. I'm going to copy and paste an email I sent a friend to fill you all in. Please forgive grammatical errors. I...
Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow.
This morning we went by Viv and Martin's house and visited with the new baby for a while. Not yet a week old (he will be in a few hours), he's already drinking 4 ounces and pays attention when he's...
Forgetful
Even though the invitation has been stuck on my refrigerator for two weeks, I had forgotten that Claudia's baby shower is this Saturday. I also forgot that she had borrowed my old maternity clothes, and I was supposed to pick...
A bunch of stuff
I’m hooked on Jon and Kate plus 8. Hubby doesn’t like it. He says Kate is too bossy and high-strung. I say what choice does she have, she’s got 8 (including Jon, 9) kids to look after! I just wonder...
Murphy had to come out to play today, didn't he?!
I had allergies less than ten days ago. I thought I might get through the week without an attack. Not only was I wrong, I got them today, just in time for Brandon's graduation. Go figure! I'm running downstairs and...
Memorial Day
After a lovely waffles and eggs breakfast, we lounged around the house for most of the late morning and early afternoon. My legs still hurt from climbing those 109 steps, which proves I'm definitely out of shape. We then took...
What the weather permitted
Our afternoon plans with the Pereiras were slightly altered due to some rain showers, but our day was lovely nonetheless. We woke up bright and early and were out of the house by 8:30, just half an hour after our...
Relief
For the first time in over six months, our mortgage payment is up to date. We were never late enough that it was reported to the credit bureaus, but we paid past the 15th of the month and were charged...
Awesome
I'm exhausted, incoherent, and suffering from allergies. I'll provide more details about my wonderful weekend at Cuba Nostalgia later, but I wanted to say: I met Willy Chirino, one of my absolute favorite singers!! And, Congresswoman Ileana Ros-Letinen! How cool...
Cuba Nostalgia, Day 3
Brandon and I are headed to Cuba Nostalgia in a few minutes. Yesterday I took Matty with me, and he was not sure what was going on. He was overwhelmed by the music and people surrounding him, but found refuge...
Technical Difficulties
Sorry for the lack of bloggage today. I was at Cuba Nostalgia since 10:30 this morning, but our DSL connection was not working. Henry got some blogging done on his laptop using a wireless connection, but the rest of us...
Change of Plans
Yesterday's field trip was great! The kids had a blast, and it was nice and breezy, not at all hot and sticky as we expected. We went to the two dolphin shows, had lunch, then saw the killer whale show....
May 12-UPDATED
Today: As I mentioned last week, my mother-in-law will be taking her citizenship test in a couple of hours. She's mighty nervous, happy thoughts and prayers are appreciated. She passed! She'll be taking the citizenship oath in a couple of...
A little on a lot of things
Some things I want to mention but don't necessarily have time to do a post about each one: -My mother-in-law has her citizenship exam next Monday. She's freaking out, and has been studying like a mad-woman for the last two...
It's Friday!
At least for me it is. I requested tomorrow off. I'll be chaperoning Brandon's class on a field trip, and in the afternoon I'll hopefully be able to go register him for Kindergarten. That's all dependent on whether his doctor's...
A Teaser
This was one of my favorites. We had such a good time at the Sunrise Balloon Race this morning, we regret not having gone in years past. It's a very unique, fun-filled event, and it's for a good cause. The...
Why am I still awake?
I need to be in bed, asleep. We're supposed to be waking up tomorrow at about 5:30am to go to this with my mom. Yes, I know, it's practically sacrilegious to wake up that early on a Sunday. Hubby's not...
Things to do: weekend edition
There's much to do around here these next couple of days. Besides cleaning (why is it that I can never get caught up with this task?!), I've got laundry to do, I need to go to the bank, the post...
It's been a while...
since I loaded new pictures onto flickr. There are a bunch of Matthew hamming it up, and a few I took today during lunch of the Orange Bowl. It's almost gone, and it was bittersweet for me to see it...
Squash you like a....
I was in the car driving home this afternoon, and heard a rustling noise coming from the backseat on the passenger side. I turned around and I saw a roach on top of a magazine Brandon had left in the...
Lazy Week
I've had five loads of laundry on top of the couch, ready for folding, for the last three days. I haven't gone for a walk since Monday. I only cooked twice this week (fortunately, both were enough for lunch and...
I need a vacation!
I figured out the error in my checkbook, and it was a simple, stupid mistake. That just proves that my mind is mush lately and I need a vacation. A Royal Caribbean cruise would be perfect right now. I love...
Take Two
I mentioned a couple of weeks ago that I was starting a diet. I failed. I didn't really stick to the "eat less/healthier" part of it. I did walk that Monday for about an hour, and that Tuesday for 45...
Headed Out
I should not be in front of the computer right now. I should be in the shower, getting ready for my Girls' Night Out. Yes, you read right, Claudia, Lilli, Cristi, a couple of other girls and I are headed...
Hodge Podge
Sorry, all. I’ve been super busy the last couple of days and I haven’t been able to post a thing. My workweek has been crazy!! My (former) coworker’s last day was Friday, and the office is not hiring a replacement....
Easier said than done?
I am determined to start my diet next week. Really, I am. I'm going grocery shopping this weekend and I'm be buying all the essentials to stay on track. I also plan on walking every day to pick up Brandon...
The good thing about having to work today?
No traffic. I left home at 7:05 this morning. The Turnpike was practically empty. I dropped off Brandon at my mother-in-law's at 7:23, and backtracked a bit, about a mile or two, to drop off Matty. I left the sitter's...
Inanimate objects should not play hide and seek!
We wanted to set up our old computer in the boys' room, but our plans hit a snag. We had a bag full of stuff, from extension cords to CAT5e cables, but we've looked everywhere and can't find it. I...
A Productive Day
We've had quite a busy and productive Saturday. This morning I headed to Key Biscayne to participate in a research study. In a nutshell, I got paid $75 to get in the water for 15 minutes. Not too shabby, right?...
It's not my imagination
I do need to lose weight. I just came back from my annual physical, and I weight 11 pounds more than I did last time I saw my doctor (December 2005). He says I should be somewhere between 150 and...
You know you're getting old when...
you no longer enjoy blasting music in a car. I used to love riding in my best friend's "tricked out" Civic years ago. She had one of those raised rear spoilers, tinted windows, a stereo system with subwoofer speakers in...
Here's the thing
While I like my new haircut, and several people have told me that it frames my face rather well, it seems to me that my second chin is more visible. To add insult to injury I purchased new jeans on...
What's really more important?!
After spending the morning getting a new 'do, I arrived home to Matty sleeping on top of his daddy and Brandon excited to see me. I decided to forego the things we had to do around the house and spend...
Random Thoughts
I booked the bounce house and trackless train for the party next weekend. I can't wait to see Brandon's face when he sees them, especially the trackless train. And I'm sure Matty will love it too! Speaking of parties, it's...
Juggling
This week, besides the standard "drop-off-Matty,go-to-work, rush-home-to-pick-up-the-boys, help-Brandon-with-homework, make-dinner, bathe-and-feed-the-boys, try-to-keep-the-house-somewhat-presentable, go-to-bed, do-it-all-over-again", I've got to finalize some of the party preparations, and the boys have their well-check appointments later on in the week. Some days I wonder if letting...
Baptism Busy-ness
The Baptism is in a week, and I’ve got so much to do. I’m going to clean the house a bit each day after work so that it’s done by the time the weekend rolls around. I also need to...
Feeling a bit productive...
I finally mailed out the Baptism invitations this morning. I was pleasantly surprised yesterday afternoon when I went to Office Max to buy the labels and paid $12.08 instead of $20.32, thanks to a corporate discount card I remembered I...
Life Happens
Sorry for the silence yesterday. I got to work and the A/C was turned off because they were working on something in the main unit, and we turned on several portable fans around the office. Bad. Idea. Not even 15...
Weekend Update
Sorry for the lack of posting this weekend. I haven't stopped. The circus was fun on Friday night, but we ended up leaving about 3/4 of the way through. Matty had fallen asleep, Brandon was curled up on his daddy's...
First post of 2008
...and I'm sorry it's not very exciting. Hubby let me sleep in till about 11:30am, which was very nice. We had a late breakfast around 1pm, and spent the rest of the day lounging around. I was slightly productive, folding...
Because even the most insignifcant things happen for a reason
I'm a multi-tasker, and the internet is no exception. I'll have four of five windows open at the same time, one with my email, another with blogs I'm catching up on, and the remaining two alternate between online shopping (most...
Reflecting

Because I know you love to hear about my crazy life!
For having had the day off, I sure was busy today! After spending the better part of the day at my grandparents' house, my BFF and I had dinner at Flanigan's with the kids. The kids exchanged presents, and they...
