2009-01-28T12:03:00.003-05:00

We decided to make French toast last night and Abby HAD to help! Either some day shes gonna get tired of helping me cook or she is the next Rachael Ray because if I'm in the kitchen she HAS to be helping me! Awww I have a future chef! LOL It really wore her out though.....

A TEENAGER?

2009-01-27T10:34:00.003-05:00

OH MY GOODNESS! I was just sitting here talking about how Lee will be 12 this year. No biggy right? WRONG Him being 12 this year also means he will be a teenager next year! HOLY CRAP!

I dont even know what to say.......UUGGHH ;)

2009-01-21T18:00:00.004-05:00

Abby wanted to share a few pictures with you OK?
Like this one of her princess Crown!
And this one of her art work!
And this one of her crayons!
OK thats it..........
Did you see all of Abbys things????

We had a mother Daughter day yesterday. We went thrift store shopping, and we found Abby a few summer time clothes since she has outgrown all her summer clothes Im sure...not that were gonna see summer anytime soon, but I figure I best be gettin ready! We also went grocery shopping, and then we had lunch at Burger King. When we got home we took some pictures of the stuff we played with and then I got to play on my computer with the pictures to make them look a little "funky"!
Maybe I can get some new pics of Lee tomorrow. :)

Kmart

2009-01-20T19:37:00.002-05:00

And oh by the way...I swear i posted pics in that last post , but there aren't there.....Ill get some on tomorrow...BUT I wanted to let you all know...

Kmart which most of you know I despise.... Is having a pretty decent thing going on right now until this Saturday (Jan 24) they are doubling coupons up to and including $2. For example I have a coupon for $2 off Tylenol which would make it $4 off and nearly free for a small bottle of tylenol...if you save your coupons...which i do cuz i always forget to use them, there are ALOT of items you can get almost for free...or very very cheap...Just thought I would let you know...just incase..... ;) The add also says check to see if your store is participating, and I heard that some stores are doing it up to $3!

A Phlebotomist???

2009-01-20T18:50:00.002-05:00

I think.....thats what I want to do. I wanna be a Phlebotomist...sounds pretty important huh? LOL Yeah well its not as glamorous as it seems LOL I'd be like a vampire.....like Edward...from Twilight....LMAO ok It is someone who draws blood, runs blood work, test, donations...etc.....

I think I am pretty interested in this. It is a 5 month course. I looked into it and I thought yeah, I could do that, get my foot in the medical feild, as much as Im willing to, But then the bad part came, as any proffesional degree it cost money...lots of money.....so POP.....my idea once again blew up in my face. Seems like I am doomed to forever be just a mommy, DOnt get me wrong, I LOVE staying at home, But it would be nice to have extra income....maybe vacation money to go back home once in a while, money in the bank for those "just in case" moments. ehhhh Maybe just maybe someday I will win the lottery and be able to get a real job LOL ;)

sounded kewl while it lasted anyways.....

I stuck the pics in jsut cuz...;)...if they are repeats..sorry

-3?!?!?!

2009-01-16T06:33:00.004-05:00

2009-01-12T22:39:00.004-05:00

Abby catching snowflakes on her tongue....

Lee loves snowboarding & sledding, he is pretty good on his snowboard too!!
Abby trekking it back up the hill with her sled, its a BIG hill for an ity bity little girl :) And Mich didnt do too bad either!!!

We decided to get everyone outside and do some sledding and snowboarding in the yard, on the side of our house we have a huge feild with a hill so it works out awesome for ua to go sledding, In the summer I didnt think we would have anywhere to sled, but once the snow started falling and the weeds died lol there was this pretty good sized hill LOLWe had bunches of fun! It is getting pretty cold. I have heard that later this week highs will be in the teens for a few days, one of those days I wouldn't mind being stuck at home with no car!!! I drove in the snow allot the last few days, I went to Edinboro the other day all by myself, well Jenny and the kids where there lol but i drove the whole way and back ;) And I drove to Erie today, Mich is in Buffalo for the week so I actually have a car for a few days :) WoooWHOOOOO

I drove in it LOL I had to bring Lee his SWIMMING stuff to school.

Mich is on his way back to Buffalo for the week ;( he said he was running into some heavy areas but still not as bad as last time, he is on the road driving and not in a ditch...waiting... ;)
They say its gonna snow all day and night so tomorrow will be a differant story im sure. I had to call in today to stay home with Abby and Im off tomorrow I dont have to work until Wed night.

But I am hearing it will possible snow this weekend again.......I am REALLY hoping that it hold off utill Sunday at least so that I can drive to Pittsburg without snow when I take my mom to the airport. SO since she only has a few days left, we went sight seeing, if you could call it that, we went to Lake Erie and drove around town, we tried to hunt down some Amish settlements but I couldnt find them lol
Mich is in Buffalo, after driving half way down to Virginia Monday they call him and tell him to come back and go to Buffalo..at least it will be a shorter ride home tomorrow...(hopefully tomorrow) Lee is still sick although he feels much better now.

So, since I missed work yesterday, I figured I had better get my butt to work today. SO I went out there this morning and shoveled and scraped and all the fun stuff, but my car was pretty much NOT moving ANYWHERE LOL I came in and then decided to try ONE MORE TIME, and I got it. Funny how you can actually sweat in the snow LOL!!!!! Now the snow is all melting, its muddy and yucky outside. It will be really fun tromping through all that mess tomorrow night for Trick or Treating!! They are saying no snow for a while now, maybe next weekend......
Lee is going to be JASON from Friday the 13th & Abby will be Cinderella for Halloween, we are going with the Family trick or treating after I get off work tomorrow. Lee gets to dress up at school and they are having a party, he is excited because they never got to dress up at school in FL.
The picture is of one of my blue berry bushes, I think its prety kewl because it turned red and looks pretty with the snow on it......

What a fun day!!

Lee, Abby & I have been playing out in the snow all day. It hasnt snowed in a couple hours and things are starting to melt, BIG chunks of snow are falling from the trees & the house & barns. Lee is building an Igloo with the igloo block molds Missy got the kids for their Bdays. Grandma Chris bought lee a sled for his Bday. He is trying to find a place to sled but no where here is good, well have to go to someones house to use it. The tress look REALLY kewl and it is even prettier now that the sun has come up, even though its melting all our snow LOL I think it is supossed to snow again today though...we'll see!

Self-improvement on all levels is something you are certainly not adverse to, and today could hold an opportunity (that you'll instantly snap up to advance yourself in some area. News of someone's success is something to celebrate. A work challenge becomes something you truly relish, despite having to cram beforehand.

LMAO yea, a work challenge would be that I have to try and get to work in a foot of snow when I cant even back up my truck in my freaking driveway without it going sideways........what the hell man!! I seriously doubt im going to be relishing in this challenge.

Its a boring Tuesday, Im off work today and Abby and I were hoping it would snow a little so we could go our and run around in it LOL but no such luck so far, its just REALLY cold LOL I like it, but my moms FREEZNG lol The cold here is different from the cold in FL I think because its just constant here, its not 30 one day and 80 the next like in FL lol. well i thought i would take this time to post some more pics since i know that is what you really want anyway lol ;) Some of the kids playin in the leaves, some of the house after the leaves all blew away, and some from Port Farms pumpkin patch we went to last weekend.
