I wish I had enough money to go with my daughter when she goes to AZ to get her son , I think it would be great to get away for a few days I so need some alone time , seems like every post I have been posting is about how stressed I'm , I really need to just chill and get what I need to get done , I can't wait till school starts again not that I don't love my Grand babies I just need some alone time in the new place to get things done, I guess I can just tell them to get things themselves but I am picky and want to spend time with them although I did let Kelcee cook her bagels this morning .. its good for her to learn to cook little things like that ..

We have been looking around for a small flat screen TV for my Kitchen we have a very small TV in there now and we need something bigger but not to big, I found a 22" TV online they have a great selection of
televisions located here.
I want the white 22" it would be perfect for my kitchen and the price is great and free shipping to any of there stores. I also want to get a 40" for the front room and put the 32" we have in the front room into our bedroom but I think that the one for the front room will have to wait a while just moving into a new place it takes money and we will have to save up to get that one.

Really it seems that my day goes like this .. now mind you I love my Grandbabies but let me tell you , It seems I get up cook a meal do the dishes, cook a meal do the dishes clean up, do laundry pick up after people , and then its time for the kids to be picked up , then its cook a meal and then do dishes and clean up again.. just as i sit down to do rest then its someone wants something and back up again I go. today was the same as other days but then I also had to sew up a couple of hubby's pants he got exchanged, Then Mom came by we went to the store we always spend allot of time in the grocery store we was there aprox 2 hours or so then I took her home visited a bit .
Came home and then Stacey and her hubby and kids was here we had a fire in the fire pit and made smorse and sat around the fire it was a bit chilly but it was fun, but my day was long and I sure was ready for some quit time and guess what its like Midnight lol. thats my quit time right now.

I was talking about taking a trip with my daughter and was looking into places that would give me good prices on traveling . when I came across this place which by the way has very good
travel deals but like I said in the post before if I could just of saved a little more money I would be able to fly out with her from Cedar Rapids to go to Arizona , she has even gotten a room there with a Jacuzzi in it .. Oh boy would that be great to just sit back and relax and some good mother daughter time with her.. its so needed . I need to get going on my work and get some extra money made. Soon very soon.

I wish I was able to go to Arizona with my daughter when she flies to go get her son from visiting his dad there .. It would be a great get away to get to spend some time with my daughter and just to relax and enjoy some time away from everything going on right now .. not that anything is going on I just need a vacation.
But that will never happen .. don't have the funds right now so money is kind of tight so we have to stay put and save as much as we can since moving into this house .. which by the way I love I will take some pictures of it tomorrow and post some on here and Facebook so you all can see my new place. Has a fireplace and all .. I love it .. My bedroom is a little small but thats ok what do you do there besides sleep lol..

I went to a local college here in town but would of loved to have gotten my MBA Online from one like The University of Scranton in Pennsylvania reading that they have one of the best
online MBA that you can finish in 2 years or up to 3 years, I was very impressed to see that one of the riches men from India have gotten there MBA from the University of Scranton.
Just imagine getting your MBA online from one of the top rated university like The University of Scranton.
I'm getting up in age but think its still a great idea to continue learning I got my Associates Degree from the local college here at age 48 years young. I loved learning new things keeps your mind alive.

Don't get me wrong I'm happy to be living here really, I love the house, love everything about it.. but it seems that I can't really even remember since we moved in if I was ever alone in this house yet. I guess I better be careful of what i wish for..
I have had Grand Kids since we moved in , hell I have had Grand Kids the day we was moving in.. don't get me wrong I love my Grand Kids and they are a big help it just seems that I just would like a day for myself here to get all the pictures taken and get all my stuff up on ebay .. I have been doing nothing but cooking , cleaning and doing laundry .. not that I don't appreciate having my own washer and dryer after three years of going to the laundry mat its great ..
I just think that I would like one day to myself no grand kids no hubby lol.. sounds terrible don't , I guess I would gripe if I was hung with a new rope lol..
It just seems when everyone is here i'm always cooking or waiting on them and never have time to do for me so maybe soon I will get the pictures taken and sell my candle stuff. its like hubby said .. if I get you that house I myself said I would cook allot well I have been .. besides doing crafts with the kids during the day and baking with them .. I just was a few days for ME..
I'm so trying to decide whether or not to sell all my stuff via Ebay or Sell on the Quad Citties online Auction place.. still thinking .. I do know once I get started on selling I will keep up with putting more and more up on the auction.. the big thing is I have so much candle scents that I dont know if I want to have to ship all that stuff out .. i have like 5 boxes of it with about 15 bottles in each box so thats were I'm..

I came across a program that was showing how they had Defibrillator available in this Hotel , which it was a true story about how it save this man's life so I went and looked up Defibrillator's and came across this site
Philips AED thinking that one would be good to have around in case I would need it in my family .. but after seeing the cost of them I don't think that I could afford one myself but think they are great for a restaurant or other business's , because how can you put a price on a life.

I finally got my Internet on .. it took a tech guy to come to my house and get it up and running because the stupid people couldn't get it straight on there end, the tech had to call ATT himself to get it straight , I'm sorry but there are some that work for the company that are just plain dumb.. after talking to Seven people of which only 2 actually knew what they was talking about and then my husband having to speak to the supervisor himself after me sitting on the phone for a hour and half I was beside myself . He finally said he would talk to them .. mean while having to sweep the water to drain in our new basement yep the rain came down so fast that even this basement that has never leaked we got water in .. So I was upset with that also because we just moved in and had several boxes on the floor of the basement, which I had to promptly pick up myself because hubby was on the phone with ATT grrrrrrr..
Today I did get the basement straighten out a little but still have several boxes to go through .. I will get there though it just takes some time .. Heck I know that there are people have boxes in there basements that have been there for 6 years or more .. guess you know that if there there that long one don't need them.. Most of mine are boxes of Candle supplies and all my knitting machines and yarn that has to get organized .. so I think there is like 10 boxes that need going through and stuff thrown away or to sell in the yard sale we are going to be having in a few weeks. I still have lots of candle stuff at my Mom's I have to get out of her garage and sort through.
Well later...

I remember when I was in College I had to take a speech class to get my degree in Business Information Technology and boy talk about having
speech anxiety I wish that they had help for it. I remember getting up in front of the class to give my speech and the first few times, I was so nervous, but soon after getting to know the class I manage to get a A in the class.
But still to this day if its not in front of someone I know I really stammer and stutter I guess you could say that I had bad
speech anxiety.
But the college days are over and thankfully I don't need to stand and give speeches anymore.
