Kids and School

I remember when my 4 kids was in school and everything had to be marked with there name on it, just in case they lost it and it would end up in the lost and found , I remember the many hours it took to write there names and tag everything that they took to school it was sure a pain . I came across a site that makes a rubber stamp that actually will stamp there name on there clothing and wont wash off now thats something else to me. I was thinking of getting stamps for all the grand babies but 7 of them would make it a bit much so I have decided to let all the kids know were this site is so they can go buy on themselves lol.. I think it would be great to have one with there kids names and phone numbers on there cloths so they know who cloths they belong to and just in case the cloths get lost.

Wonderful Weekend

Saturday morning bright and early , Christy  and Mike picked me up and we went up to Williamsburg they really showed me a good time . it was so much fun. I'm kind of tired right now to tell all but it was a blast.. Thank you Christy and Mike for giving me a great day.. Today was so sweet Kylin was very good we had a great time , he bought me two carnations for valentines day it was so so sweet .. he told his daddy he just had to get me something what a very sweet loving grandson . When I got home last night from the all day trip , hubby said that Mariah got sick on my side of the bed and I ask him if he cleaned it up he said no.. I was so mad I went in and flipped back the pillow and under it was a beautiful Valentines day card and a small box of Sugar Free Candy .. the best chocolate from Lagomarcino's yummy .. so so sweet of him .. I was a bad person and didnt get him a card. :( but told him I loved him for getting me the chocolates and the card.. lol.. Later

Talk about Sick!!

I have never been so sick in my whole life as I have the past few days, I dont know if it was something I ate or the flu but I bet I have lost about 10 pds.. I have tired to disinfect this house as much as I could because I dont want anyone else getting what I had, I'm feeling a bit better today but am still afraid to eat .. I'm still running a fever on and off but I tell you it totally sucked.. Hubby has been sick with bronchitis now for a few weeks, I'm suppose to get Kel and kyle tomorrow but if I'm not feeling any better tonight I'm going to tell her I cant watch them , I surely dont want anyone else getting sick. Last weekend when  Kylin and Kailei was here they was running a slight temp also but it was gone when they left the next day to go home. This weekend were going to get snow well thats what they say .. I just hope we dont get the 6-8 inches of snow they say we are going to get.. this girl isn't going out anywhere if we do.. This sickness keeps lingering no matter what I do in this house I have vacuumed dusted shampooed the carpets wiped everything down with lysol and it seems to keep creeping back in this house.. wish us luck with keeping the germs out lol. Later

We might be moving soon

Well we have been waiting for this one apartment to come up and just cant wait.. It has a place for our washer and dryer , I'm so excited we have lived in this apartment for over 2 years and have not had access to a washer or dryer so its off to the laundry mat every week.. So when we get the ok to get this place we are going to use truck rental to move with as they also have a gas calculator to help , you know with the price of gas now days we need to keep track of all our pennies we can. Again I can't say enough about this place we are moving to all one level and although its smaller instead of a two bedroom it will be a one, thats ok we will have no steps to go up and down and I can wash my cloths everyday if I want .. I so dislike going to the laundry mat it makes me crazy 13 steps dragging the cloths down and 13 back up not counting going in and out the laundry mat.

Kids

My son had his kids again this weekend and I was not home for most of friday night I was gone doing laundry and at my Mom's so when I got back home they were both sleeping .. Nothing you do can wake them up they looks so sweet sleeping.. Anyway I didn't get to see them before they went to bed on Saturday night and so when I got up this morning , Kylin came running up to me and Grandma Girt I missed you and gave me a big hug.. that was so sweet, Kailei she just smiled and said I love you. she is one sweet kid..

Getting hit by a Car

I was accidentally hit by a car it actually ran over my foot , I didn't do anything about it but I could of contacted a Lexington personal injury lawyer but I didn't it was family and it was an accident, although thinking back on it I should of because I didn't have insurance and should of because they didn't pay for the hospital bill .. My foot was badly bruised and I missed a few days of work . But once again it was family and I guess that i had the wrong Idea about what type this person was, I did go to a lawyer here but they said that it was a small claims case and I would have to pay out of my pocket to get the papers served so I didn't go forward with it just paid the bill myself and have just stewed about it . Next time which I hope there isn't I defiantly will through with it .

Bacon

Well I love bacon.. I usually cook it in a skillet but have been buying the pre-cooked but that can get expensive unless its on sale.. But I went and bought one of these Bacon Trays which I so love.. I put about 6 cut in half pieces of bacon on it cover it with a paper towel and pop it in the micro three and a half minutes later I have perfectly cooked bacon without all the fat as it drains down below .. very crisp bacon. I love it and with less grease its better for everyone, my son loves it also and you can cook it a little less to get the type of bacon you like. I think they have been out for a long time I'm just a little slow i guess in getting new things. lol

Ipod

I was searching for a Ipod and came across this site there are many but these are so cool. There are so many ipods on this site with many types of speakers also. I love the different colors and styles they have .  I listen to music on my mp3 player and my son bought me a Ihome speaker for it but the speakers on this site and the Ipods that they have makes me one to get one. Hopefully I will be able to afford one soon they are priced very well and even have free shipping. I usually take my player in the kitchen and listen to my music which is mostly country while I'm cooking makes time go by faster.

Breakfast for Dinner

Well as I'm sure allot of you out here have had breakfast for dinner at one time in your life , weather it be want or necessity , well mine was out of necessity its the middle of the month and hmm food runs low, its either pay bills or eat .. Well you cant live without electric or gas , or gas for your car, or toiletries for the bathroon so not corn cob for me lol.,. I do feel privlaged that we have indoor plumbing back in the day before me they had out houses or they had bed pans .. Back to breakfast for dinner .. we literally ran out of meat and all I had left was a few potatoes and about 5 eggs.  Most of us was just getting over being sick so ya got to do what you got to do.. this is not the first time for breakfast for dinner the past few weeks . we had pancakes and eggs last week too... If it wasn't for my Mom calling me up saying she made stew or chicken wings and noodles we probably would have had more of breakfast.. but when I have the food we eat good.. roast , meatloaf , porkchops.. chili, ham and beans .. oh and not let me forget the biggest meal that the whole family likes is fried potatoes and hamburger and Pork and beans mixed I could have that forever and a day and they would eat it ,., My son is a big potato fan ,, any kind of potatoes it could be fried, mashed etc he will eat it ,, We are starting to cut down on the potatoes though ,, sometimes we have again fried potatoes and cheddar worst yummy,. Well I got to move on to my next post ,.,. I'm just post crazy today, Later..

Talk about lucky

When I think of my four beautiful children and my 7 beautiful grand children, I thank God how lucky I'm that I have all healthy children. I mean what are the odds of out of 11 of my family members that none of them have or gotten cerebral palsy , I know with all of modern medicine that you just one single mistake during birth or after that you can get it. I thank my lucky stars all of my family members including my niece and nephew are all healthy and it hasent hit to close to home for my family. I mean I have had cancer in my family , my Mom has had it and beat it one once but twice. My twins when they was growing up had to have speach only because they had a language all there own which is common in Idential twins,, All I can say is thank You God for giving me beautiful healthy children and grand children.
