Music of the day!



Busy night last night

Did some more Christmas decorating, trying to make a dent. Finished two pages for a friend. Made 1 1/2 Holiday planners, one is for me and one is for a gift exchange with my card club. Made one Christmas ornament, out of scrap paper of course, and then had some tea and watched my soap! LOL...Kids went to bed easy for me last night and didn't even mind the Christmas music I played all evening. They rearranged the tree again last night so they were busy! Holiday_planner Here is the planner I made for me last night. The one I am doing for the exchange is very similar but cuter! LOL. This is to keep my brain from frying while I try to get everything done this season.



Chris asked me this morning to put an American History book on his Christmas list. Weird kid...LOL.



Still having trouble thinking what to get everyone. O'well guess I will have to figure that out soon!



Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!!

Complete Havoc

Ok, for those of you who have been in my house you will understand. For those of you who have been on a cigar plane you will understand! My house is small....maybe not quite as small as a cigar plane but close. Not a lot of room. I got all my Christmas stuff out. And I am currently at different stages of decorating. Right now I am at the stage of the tree and houses are done but everything else is in boxes. The boxes are all over the living room floor half full and driving me crazy. I will work on it a bit every night and might get done by this weekend but for now looks like the elves threw up in my living room.



Need to go home tonight and work on some projects that need to be finished asap. Got some more Xmas projects to finish up and still need to figure out what to get the boys. I want to get this stuff all done soon!!! ACKKK feeling the pressure already.

You cant always get what you waaant!!

That was the last song of the night. After two hours of dancing, singing, gyrating and rocking the Rolling stones walked off the stage and no one moved! The most amazing concert I have ever seen and will probably ever will see. They played an amazing array of their music and did "night and day" as a tribute to Ray Charles. The girl that sang the girls part kicked A__!! Amazing pipes on that girl. They played 5 songs from thier new cd "bigger bang" and about 15 others.The whole concert was amazing from a giant screen to streamers and a MOVING stage, it rocked. I am sooo glad I went. Anyone see me on the American music awards??? He did a live feed!!! And you know what? Even though Mick is 62 he's still pretty sexy!!!!!

A note to Lois...

You said you wanted to know what I was doing for gifts? I would tell you but then i would have to kill you.....









Just kidding just can't tell you!!!! LOVE YA!!!



All I can say is thank goodness!

Its Friday! It's finally here. The kids don't have school today. Something about the end of the trimester. Going to see my sweet cousin in a play tonight and I am totally looking forward to that. THEN the moment I have been waiting for!!!!! HARRY POTTER AND THE GOBLET OF FIRE tomorrow!!! Yippee!!!



On a sad note our long time office partner and friend is in the hospital again. He was in about 2 weeks ago after having a mini stroke and loosing part of his peripheral (sp?) vision. He is in again and he said the Dr says he may stay till after Thanksgiving. I am so worried. He is 84 years old, has had his lung removed (cancer) a hip replaced, an Achilles (sp) tendon repaired and still teaches five year olds how to ski on the weekends. He just keeps ticking. In fact up till the stroke two weeks ago he worked in the office full time. I have known this man since I was six. If you could say a little prayer i would greatly appreciate it.

Traffic savvy kitties

Does God really make these? AM I the only one who thinks that the cat I saw using the crosswalk this morning, and had FIVE cars stop for him, is unique? Completely aware of all the cars around him and completely in line with the crosswalk boundaries this adorable striped cat crossed the road to follow some kids to school this morning. We all just sat there at watched him mosey along the asphalt. Amazing! LOL.

THe Pains of Motherhood....

Taylor got in trouble at daycare yesterday. Not big trouble really...he got into a heck of lot more with mom later. He and another one of his friends decided to torment a little boy that Taylor has been best friends with since he was 2. I am not really sure how bad it was but apparently they made this Little boy cry, and tell his mom he didn't want to come back. Apparently it all started with an innocent game of batman and robin. For punishment Taylor was grounded for the night, had to tell me what he said to this little boy, and then write him an apology letter to him. After all this I asked Taylor how he thought his friend felt? Would he still want to be your friend? Taylor felt horrible for what he did and even asked me if this boy would still want to be his friend. I told him that was up to the little boy, and that if you kept picking on him then no he would not want to be your friend. He also has to apologize to him to the face today at daycare. Do you think I did the right thing?? Just don't know....

* Yummy blueberry shampoo I got for the kids!



* hmmm...should I shave my legs? Nah the hair isn't going anywhere.



* Maybe i could have grandparents over on Saturday..



* Oh need to throw out the plants I just killed Friday so they can go to the curb Saturday.



* Maybe I should start a to do list for my long weekend, so I don't forget what I need to do.



* I should have bought a large sizzix tag die for "tags" for Janell's swap.



* Need to come up with an idea for 6x6 pages for Janell's swap.



* Hmmm.... wonder how Lois is doing, need to email her today.



* OK time to get out, water has been cold for a few minutes already!

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas.....

Well not completely. It did snow flurry here for about an hour bu that's about it. I am completely getting excited for Christmas already have two gifts made and a good list to start on the shopping. I would like to be done at least 2 weeks before Christmas so I can enjoy the suspension leading up to the big day.



I have another photo shoot planned!! A family photo for a friend of mine for her Christmas cards!



Tired of my hair! Glad its long and really don't want to cut it but it NEEDS something. Perm? I just don't know haven't had one of those in YEARS!!! We are talking like 18!! Maybe color to get rid of the Darker roots? Maybe a hint of strawberry?? Check back tomorrow to see if I actually do anything.



OMG!! My Dad's girlfriend just called me!! JACK NICHOLSON was just at one of our local gas stations!!!! Her boss went in right after he left and all the employees were freakin out!!! Can you imagine....??

MY question.....is......

If william Hung can have an album why don't I!!!!!!



Chris and his antics

My oldest son is quite the smart one....or at least he acts that way. I was in my scrap room last night and the boys were in the living room being completely good. Coloring and being quiet. Christopher suggested to Taylor they play a game. "Halloween" was the title. So the game goes like this. Chris pretends to knock on Taylor's pretend front door. Chris says trick or treat. Taylor gives him candy out of his trick or treat bag. Chris says thank you. Chris comes BACK to Taylor's door and starts all over. After the end of the game, Chris has all of Taylor's candy. HMMMMMMM......



Here are the cards I made last night. Card_club_cards_1 They are for a card club I am in. Totally stole the idea from my VERY talented Mother in law. THANKS Lois!!!





Here at work we have been without our company network for THREE days! We have regular Internet but our corporation has been down. We can't do a thing for our clients and its really frustrating!!



Hope you all have a wonderful day!!!!!
