Facebook for the summer!

Well my neice was over the other day and got me hooked on facebook. I wanted a easier way of keeping up with everyone and this is what she told me. It is a very simple tool you use online to connect to friends. you each can write on each others sites and post pics and things like that. The thing I like most about it is its privacy features. Everytime someone wants to add you or do anything to your pics or your site you have to give permission. Very cool feature. So for the summer, since time is limited, this is what I will be using. So hop on over and look me up. Here is a link we shall see if it works................Just click here!
Why not start your own? If you do be sure to link (or add) me as a friend. I am sure if you see the friends I have so far (only 4 I think) and look around at their pictures you just might see quite a few people you know too!!!
See you there!
Till later..........~

Oh my this should be a pretty eventful day. I am getting ready to go pick up my girls...........LOL AKA:the cats!
They have both been at the vets since Wednesday. I just hope they aren't mad at us.....hee hee.
Ball games have been quite well I think Jakes team is still undefeated and the coaches boy hit a homerun last night (over the fence). Quite exciting! Jake had a hit and scored a run and he was thrilled about that. At this age you get excited over just hitting the ball while up to bat! The boys are getting quite good at pitching in this age bracket!
Going to be another busy weekend, I am hoping to get the pool supplies and maybe open the pool tonight. But if not, then maybe Sunday! woohooo!!!
I hope all you moms out there have a great MOTHERS DAY!!!!!!



One more thing before I leave. Has anyone heard of facebook? My neice was showing it to me on the computer last night, kinda like a myspace deal but more private? Anyways if you have drop me a line let me know what you think of it. I guess Ihave a few family memembers that do it and quite a few people at the north church as well.
till later............~

Taking a break!

Well I just got back from taking the cats to the vet and I am squeezing in a minute to update the blog. I just wanted to let eveyone know that I will still post from time to time but that while the summer is nearing my time is getting shorter and shorter to be on the computer for play! I hope everyone has a great summer! I will at least post summer pics from time to time!
Be sure to check out IKEAgoddess and AmyW's sites as I am sure they will always have freebies listed even through the summer months!

Till later..........~

Deal of the week!

It is definatley Friday! I woke up strangely rested this morning, Then I realized it was 7:15am and everyone was still in bed asleep! LOL I immediately woke Dave up (who usually is at work at 7:15am) then woke up Jake (who is usually being picked up this time for school) I then woke up poor Jess who had to fend for herself this morning while I drove Jake to school and daddy left for work in a furry! I came home from dropping Jake off and there sits Jess completely ready reading a book. God bless her! 3 minutes later she was out the door and walking to the bus stop with Zack!

So there I was trying to relax with a cup of coffee while I made out my list of things I needed to accomplish this morning. OH MY I had better get started I thought. I started cleaning the house, cause I knew I wouldn't have time this weekend. I glanced at the clock and it is 2 hours later and I have not marked off one thing on my list..........LOL Just going to be one of those days I guess!
Anyways I did want to share with you my "deal of the week"! I found a bag at walmart yesterday in the clearance bin. It is big enough I can use it for work or as a laptop bag! And the best part the tag said $5!!! I got to the register and it rang up for $4 something. WHOOOHOOO! I can handle that! So heres a picture...I did look for more but it was a huge bin inthe purse section and I didn't see anymore but they had tons of different ones!


ok off I go now to look at my list again.................been so busy I can't remember what I had on it. I do know this blog was NOT one of them.........LOL

Till later.........~

Have you ever wondered.....

....what the heck we did before the Internet? I was thinking about that and it sure does make things easier! For instance: here are a few things I do on the net..............find recipes, bank, Christmas shop, listen to music, read yesterdays paper, research anything, reserve books and movies at the library, talk to other women in groups just like me, study, help kids with homework, look up phone numbers, make extra money, design, play games and unwind, watch my favorite missed tv show...............and, oh yeah keep up with friends and family........... the list goes on and on. What are your favorite things to do?
If you would leave a comment or send me your favorite things to do on the net I will make a list on my blog. Send in a unique site and I will list that too.
I have to say that the Internet can be a bad thing (as far as some of the things you or worse yet, your kids can run across) but I would have to say it sure makes this families life alot easier!
In light of the warmer weather I am paying tribute to summer and camping. At the end of my blog you will see a large square window. What is it? you ask! It is a CORN HOLE game.....LOL yes you saw me type right....a corn hole game that we found on the net there other day. We frequent a site called addicting games.com and they can be addicting! In this particular game be sure to notice where the people are! It is a campground. Too Funny! But mainly there is a color on the board that goes up and down. While your mouse is on the board you click the moving color for the distance, then once you click that the hole will move from side to side. Once you click again where ever the hole is at that time determines the directions. Takes a few times to get use to it but we actually like playing it. (among many others) So give it a try! Who doesn't like corn hole? I mean come on!!!
Well I will be off an on today if anyone would like to chat or send me your favorite website, I will be working from home making a few calls and working on some outlines for work, so off I go to start my day! Lets see if the sun will come out to play I hear it is supposed to be around 70 today!
Enjoy!
Till later.............~

Well it is May 2nd already, where did the time go? I can't believe that the school year is almost over. It seems like yesterday that Dave and I were struggling with sending the kids to public school. What a journey these last couple years have been. From making a commitment to myself and going back and getting my RN to sending the kids back to school, to making some hard financial decisions.......it almost seems like such a blur! I have a great family and lovely friends that are so supportive , I wouldn't have fared as well if I didn't' have some of you to lean on at times! I know it takes a lot for me to have to open up and lean on someone but just knowing that you are there makes all the difference! So for that I take a moment to THANK you!
It is nice to sit back and just enjoy and dwell on all the blessings we have been given as God's children! I am not a perfect being that is for sure but to know that my Savior is, creates all the hope I need!
Well the rain has come and things are as green as ever! Still yet another layer of water on the pool cover..........LOL But the flowers are really taking off and grass is growing fast enough for Jake to enjoy mowing! ( I somewhat miss mowing the yard---relaxing) And no ball games have been cancelled yet! I always hated trying to make up too many games this time of year. I pray that is continues this way.........
Speaking of prayer, please be praying for the Mozena Family! Poor little Logan (age 2?) had a garden accident an broke his foot. He is in Children's hospital and is on IV antibiotics and is not supposed to be up on his foot! (Good luck on that one!) Hopefully if all goes well they can come home on Thursday! If you would like to send her an encouraging note feel free to contact me and I will give you her email addy!

well I need to get off here and get some things done before I have to go to work! enjoy the day! If you want to leave comments on this post I will make sure Val sees them!
