I love my Big Sister HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

It's my sisters Birthday today and it though it has become a sad day for all Americans (9-11) we choose to stay positive on this day for her. So NO TV today... NO CNN today.

WHAT HAVE I LEARNED TODAY? Make Birthdays as happy as can be... they only come once a year.

Back to school...Yeah

I love my kids but... they where getting bored at home, now they will be busy again with school activities. They are great kids...wishing them the best first day of school.

All About My Little Girl

She was born a premie, 2lbs 1oz. She made it against all odds. She is very talented... she is a leftie. She's an artist as you can see... She has also started to bake, lucky for me I can't eat sugar or I'd be gaining weight. She is so creative. She can be stubburn. She is a loner. She is a self starter when she wants to. She has a temper. She is a night owl. She is a helper around the house. She is very smart. She is a honer roll student. She loves to read manga on the computer. She is a big sister. She is a beautiful young lady. She is my only daughter... I love her...

Summer Fun

Summer has such high expectations... kids thinks they are free do whatever..not! Parents think that summer holds great chances to bond with there kids... only if your kids are not teenagers... they may not want to spend time with you. So what's a mom to do? Find something to hold their attention.

So far we have.....
gone to the library every week
played with Lego's
watched Willy Wonka the play
saw the Jabbawockeez @ the MGM

Mountain Ranch State Park its about 10 -15 degrees cooler its in the Red Rock area. The sitting was good not a bad seat. You could see and hear play, it was great!
Me and my daughter Chantel

Jabbaworkeez's- a dance crew from the Randy Jackson's show the best dance crew. They really kept you interested. I thought I'd get bored. Great show, worth every penny.

I have Pictures of us playing Lego's but if I posted them I may be disowned... sorry!

Hope you are making memories with your family too....

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

YEAH

I can officially say Happy Holidays. Well our tree is up thanks to my family. I could not have done it without them. The inside of my home is very festive. My old man says he will start on the outside today. I would normally help him but after my knee surgery the ladder is not an option for a while.

We take pride that our Christmas holiday light display is one of the best on the block. I believe lights should look as if you had a plan or design for them. They should be hung neat and should not look like you just threw them up. If on a timer they should come on at the same time not 5 or 10 minutes apart. And most of all, the family should have fun putting the lights up.

My sister that challenged me to a crafty Christmas chuckled when she saw my last post about her. I'm still working to completing my homemade gifts. I hope you have started sis-ter! The clock is ticking...

My dad will be here in 15 days it’s always a pleasure to see that OLD MAN...he gets funnier with age. I guess I should explain the old man thing... it’s really a term of endearment. I call my dad OLD MAN, he calls me Old Girl. I don't really know how it started. He is no spring chick and I'll be forty next year. When I call him and say "hey OLD MAN" he knows it’s me.

I sometimes call my boyfriend.... my old man. I fell I'm to O L D to use the term boyfriend... and I guess I like to see the reaction when other people hear me say it. Their reactions are really funny. Once a man heard me call my boyfriend old man and asked my boyfriend "you’re going to let her call you old?" he just laughed and said "that’s me". He's a bit older then I am, I like my men seasoned.

I wanted to post pics of my sisters new babes but she said she wanted them to look pretty for their first post. They were spayed and can't take a bath for ten days...stinky. I'll tell you this they are cute and I helped pick their names Bianca, TEA, and Chloe'. Her boyfriend says they act like us, the three sisters and they should be named after us, I didn't care but we figured my little sister may not be too happy. They are Pomeranians she saved from a pet shelter, all from the same home. Never in a millions years did I think my sister would have three dogs at one time. It must be the Christmas spirit.

Enough ramblings...It’s the first day of December... so it’s time to Journal Your Christmas or December Daily or BOTH.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!

It's My 38th year on this Earth. I'm truly BLESSED, my family and friends asked what I wanted, and honestly I have everything I want and need. Loving family, great friends, a career that challenges me and allow me never to be bored, pays great and gives me the choice to pick and choose when and where I want to work.

As a teenager I dreamed of peace of mind, A good job that allowed me to buy a home, have a nice car, go on vacation once a year, and be able buy things I would wanted. Last but not lest lose a 100 pounds. I've done everything except lose 100 pounds. not bad for 38. Guess I should up with a few more dreams!!

My sister Bonita and I went furniture shopping, I'm looking for a new sectional for my family room. I'd been sick for about a week, so it was nice to leave the house other than for work. It also felt nice to put on real clothes. One of the hazards of being a Electrician, you always look like a construction worker

Maklikai's Birthday Part 2

Malikai's Birthday party THE BOMB! I've never had so much fun at a five year old party, I talked about the party till I fell asleep. Actually my old man said "please go to sleep", so I did. Malikai had a balloonist and she also face painted. I'm kinda silly so I kept asking her to make me a red BMW with grey interior.LOL. She made so cool stuff with her balloons, the face painting was not shabby either. Her name is Corina and Shes a graduate of a clown University. Betcha didn't know that! Malikai also had a pinata from hell. The little ones couldn't get it open, so we got help from the big kids.

I must be getting older because I don't think I could have had so much fun at this party 10 years ago. Or may be I have realized that the little things truly count and seize each day as it happens!

Thanks Malikai for such a wonderful day!

Malikai's Birthday
