Update I guess..

I havent posted in awhile and dont even know where to start really.I started tanning this week to get ready for our Disney vacation in a few weeks.I went for 8 minutes on Monday,8 minutes on Tuesday and then today I told him I wanted to go for 9 and he put me in there for 19.I just went ahead and stayed in there the whole time and burnt my belly and back.

I know I should have known better but I purchased minutes and just didnt want to argue about it if that even makes sense.Nothing else got burnt so next time I go tan I will wear a tank top and short shorts and cover the more sensitive areas.I think I will take a break and not go in tomorrow and then go in for like 8 minutes on Friday.

My birthday is in 2 weeks and we are leaving for Disney in 3 weeks.This year has been kind of sucky for me so far so I am hoping this trip turns things around and that the rest of the year following gets better.We did get a new roof put on this year so I am so happy about that:) All our saltwater fish died when the power was out so hubby cleaned the tank out and got a new stand that matches our living room furniture and we are going to get freshwater fish in the next couple of weeks or so.

We painted our kitchen from an ivory color to a dark brown which I love but we still need to redo.Advice:If your going to paint a room in your house buy all the paint you will need at one time,its better to have extra than not enough because if you have to go back and get more the color never quite matches!I was going to sell my treadmill and someone came over with cash to buy it but I guess bringing it down the stairs it got a short in it or something because now its all messed up and I got so mad about it I just shoved it in the garage.Reece just finished Twilight and is going to take a test on it tomorrow.Wish him luck because hes probably going to need it!

Well thats pretty much it for now.Happy Hump Day!

Has it been that long?

For a stay at home mom why I am so darn busy? Not alot to talk about really.My back is giving me probs again and it seems any form of workout that I do that involves a machine of any kind just makes it so much worse so I have sold my treadmill and am trying to sell a couple of other things.

Disneyworld is in 5 weeks.I was going to apply for a job 3rd shift in 6 weeks but I am worried about my back and how things will go with me going back to work but I have got to give it a try.I know it wont be easy though.

I got a wonderful Valentine package from one of my best friends Dani,thank you so much,your as sweet as sugar and you know I love you to death.I got a late Christmas/early birthday present package from my friend Sin last week which was awesome.For Valentines/early birthday present from hubby,he ordered me a family ring that will have 3 hearts on it with mine,his and Reeces birthstones in it:) I cant wait for that to come in.I am hoping in comes in before the Disney trip so I can wear it.

I guess thats pretty much it.The roofer said he was going to try and come out this week and I hope he makes it over here.Our roof is in bad shape and I am ready to get it over with.We have been waiting since October.My aunts finally got power after 14 days.My third cousin Darlene is still without but they have a generator.My granparents cabin where we have Thanksgiving every year burned down:( Its still hard to believe thats it gone:(



I guess thats about all the news here...Its 134am and I am gonna go to bed now.I hope everyone has a good week.

19 Year Anniversary/bedroom pic/bball

Happy Anniversary Comments

19 years ago today me and hubby had our very first date at the High School Valentine dance.I showed up 15 years old, overdressed in a pink sequin slinky dress thinking the dance was formal and was not so I went back home and changed into something more comfortable.Then we danced every dance and kissed on every slow song.So today is actually the anniversary of our first date and our first kiss both.I dont feel old enough to have been with someone for that long.All of the other moms around my area that I am around havent been together as long as me and my hubby although some of them are older than us.I think being married to the same person or being together with the same person for that long is kind of rare these days and I feel very lucky and very blessed and I have an amazing husband.No one could ever wish for anyone better.

Here is a pic of our bedroom for Kate.


Our bedroom is completely different from everyone elses I have seen.

Basketball is over for Reece.Their team won second place in the league and in the tournament and he will get a trophy from that which is cool:) They had their farewell party Saturday night.If you cant find Reece hes number 3 and the third one over on the bottom row.

Quick update!

My friend said I look sad in this pic

Heres an awesome necklace I bought at Hallmark the other day.Its magnets that hook together with me and hubbys name on them.It only costs me $8 too!Our 19 year Anniversary of our first date is Feb.9th.

My Aunts are still without power,its insane!Its going on ten days for them now and its 62 degrees today.Its just crazy stuff.

Reece made the Spelling Bee,which he is thrilled to death about! He got chosen out of everyone in his class to be in the school spelling bee.He is so shy and he has to get up in front of everyone and spell words hes probably unfamiliar with on a microphone in front of everyone! He says he does'nt have a problem with doing that.If you met him you would never think he would do something like that but he is so excited about it:)

Roadrunner Records called me yesterday and they want me to do a show in Mississippi thats only about 2 hours away for the band "The Parlor Mob" who I actually like alot.Their songs are kind of jazzy/bluesy/rock.They are these long haired hippy looking dudes from New Jersey.The concert is Feb.19th on a Thursday night.The show is 18 and up and I told them I could'nt do it unless Reece could come along and they are looking into it and trying to get him in anyway;) Like a special VIP if you will;)Steve wont be able to come because he will be at work and we would have to leave at around 4pm to get there in time to put posters up around town and in the venue.

The last of Reeces basketball games are this weekend and they are all about an hour from here.They are tournament games.The first one is tonight at 7 and if they win which I know they will,then their second game will be tomorrow morning at noon and if they win that one then their last game will be Saturday night at 6.Then on Sunday they are having a farewell basketball party at the Community Center.So its a busy weekend for us!

I have been drinking Organic Apple Cider vinegar in my water everyday and I feel fabulous.I drink 2 32 oz jugs of water a day and I put 2 teaspoons in my first jug and 1 teaspoon in the second one.If you try this it needs to be the Organic kind which you can only get in Health stores.It breaks up the fat in your body and disposes of it,it is good for hair and skin,infections and just all kinds of good stuff!

P.S.I need to find a way to record Reece singing and post it on here.He just melts my heart!

I hope everyone has a good weekend.XO

Back to normal

Here are some pics from the ice storm we had.I only took the first couple of pics without the ice because when we lost our power my camera battery was dead.The icy pics were taken by my cousin who lives about 30 minutes from me.





Reece is finally back to school today and his basketball games were all resceduled for this coming weekend instead of this past weekend because we just got our power back on Friday and some people are still without.There were still alot of schools cancelled today.

We finally got our tax forms in today so we can file those tonight.Reece read a book on the days he was off so he could stay ahead in his school work.We could have done alot more but during the times he was off he was sick and running a fever so he slept alot.Hubby got on the roof last night and put a small tarp on it and not even an hour later it started raining.I am just glad things are back to normal and we can get into our regular routine again.

Did you know that just reading 20 minutes a day for one year your child will be exposed to one million words as well as increase spelling,grammar and writing skills?Me and Reece read pretty much every night of the week.Last year "lurched" was one of his vocabulary words and I was like who ever uses that word? Then believe it or not about every single book we have read after that day has that word in it! Not all of the adult books I read do but it seems all of his do! I said I wish I had a dollar for everytime that word is published in a book because I would definitely be a millionare.
