I really need to have a yard sale.  We have accumulated so much stuff in the past 7 years, I feel like we are growing out of this house.  We pretty much have an average size house.  Not too big and not too small.  It is perfect for a family of five but with all this stuff, I feel like we need to buy a bigger house.  In reality, we don't have to.  We just need to get rid of everything we don't use anymore.  The only problem we have, is that we NEVER had a yard … [Read more...]

Should I feel disgusted or flattered?My son, who is 11-1/2 years old has this small conversation with me:Son- "Mom, please don't pick me up from school anymore".  Mom- "Why, is there anything wrong?" "Was some kid teasing you?"Son- "No, not really but one of my friends said you were hot and that is just plain nasty because you are; you know, motherly.  Yuk!"Mom- "Oh my god, really?

Yup, that's me.  I think about that daily.  I haven't had the luxury of cooking any food on my stove for almost 3 months.  Why?  Maybe it's because my husband is a little too lazy to buy the piece that needs replacement in the back of the stove so it doesn't leak propane all over the house.  Once that is done, we can have the of calling a propane company to deliver a propane tank so that I can cook real meals and bake. So we've been eating: Frozen pizza (Tony's Pizza or Ellio's)& … [Read more...]

She says, "I took a bath today".  I was extremely puzzled because as soon as she got home from school, she ran to the basement to play with her Wii.  So I asked her, "Really, when?"  She replied with, "Today at school, remember today was Beach Day so we all got wet with water".  WHAT??!! I didn't know that if you get wet with water, that it is considered a shower.  I laughed and shouted/said, "Good try; get your butt in the shower NOW!!!"  She ran so quickly, I … [Read more...]

Then you really should consider Vistaprint for all of your printing needs.  They are great.  I have bought many items from Vistaprint.  From business cards for my husband's company, rubber stamps for our personal use, greeting cards for his customers, cheap address labels, personal checks and even t-shirts.  The prices are cheap and very reasonable but the best thing about it is that the quality is absolutely the best.  No other company can give you great prices as well … [Read more...]

Father's Day's isn't the same for me anymore.  I mean I love to celebrate it for my husband because he is the father of our 3 kids; but since 1994, (the year my dad passed away) things haven't been the same for me.  Holidays are not as special.  Birthdays aren't that special either.  The really sad part is that my dad never had the chance to meet any of my kids.  My first child was born in 1996.  Another person that I miss dearly is my maternal grandfather.  He … [Read more...]
