good morning everyone! I'm sitting here with my coffee enjoying some down time before the day gets started.. I did some updating on my blog which hasn't been touched in ages... and have just been chillin'! Not much really planned for today... Piper has ballet at 11:00, then it's back home for...

hi Merkee! Linda - Me time? what's that LOL Vicki - thanks, sweetie... I've missed you all! Good luck on the weed-eating... I'll keep my fingers crossed all the windows stay intact :) Krista - I'm certainly trying to take care of me, but how do you find the time? Trudy - thanks, it was a...

good morning, Linda! we were posting at the same time! Sorry about the internet, but glad it's back!

good morning! Yes, I know I went missing again LOL! My life is so busy now that there's no spouse in the picture... so my week is 7 hours a week of school including driving time plus homework, 40 hours of work, 5 hours of observation at school, 5 out of 7 days taking care of the kids, cleaning...

good morning! had a wonderful time with my mom and sister yesterday... they did so much for the kids and it makes me feel kinda bad because I know how hard they have it... mom bought a bunch of school supplies, and my sister spent her yard sale money on 2 outfits each for the kids... Will's and...

good morning everyone... been busy here... lots of personal stuff going on... been dealing with marriage issues which unfortunately can't be resolved... spending time with my mom and sister today... gotta do the grocery shopping etc... so... lots to do... hope everyone has a great weekend!

good afternoon! Yesterday we did the diabetes walk... well me and Matthew... Will and Piper wanted to play games, so Gabe took them to that... Matthew and I just did the 1 mile walk... It was a lot of fun... think I'll do it next year by myself though LOL... It's 5:00 p.m., and I haven't...

good morning! yay I'm actually posting in the morning! Matthew's feeling under the weather... he has a cold or something anyway and then he went for his 4 year exam and got 4 immunizations... 1 in each arm and 1 in each thigh... so he's running a fever and feeling terrible... Gabe stayed home...

good afternoon! It was a long Monday even though I had to change up my schedule and today was a short day... Gabe has meetings in the afternoons on Mondays for a while so will be switching my long work days to Tuesday and probably Thursday... then once school is out on the 3rd it won't...

good morning! Yesterday was Piper's performance for Arabella's Journey... I'm soooo glad its all over... she finishes out the month for ballet and then we're all done until August... she's going to be in summer camp with me working so I think ballet would be too much... she'll be running...

good morning... just wanted to say a quick hello... have been extremely busy with Piper's ballet rehearsals.. last performance of the school year is this weekend... end of this month and we're done until August... so anyway, I'm off to work... hope everyone has a great day!

It's been a busy day here already... got up this morning and mom made breakfast... Matthew's birthday party was from 11:00-12:30 today and we're about to head out for Piper's costume fitting and ballet rehearsal until 4:45... I'm TIRED! Then I've got to come home and finish up some more...

Just a quick hello... it was another long, rainy day... we did get a little sunshine late this afternoon, but not nearly enough! I'm off to give the kids a bath and get myself in the bed... Hope that if your day didn't get off to a good start it at least got better!

good evening... wanted to pop in real quick and say hello... I got home at 6:30, and it doesn't leave much time to get dinner before its bedtime! It's been raining on and off all day so it's made me VERY tired... I'm looking forward to climbing into bed soon... another long day tomorrow...

hey... just about to go off to bed to get ready for the start of the work week... got lots of cleaning done, but I just can't get the kids to clean their rooms... although I'm sure Mom will help out now that she's here... will be working 7:30 a.m. - 6 p.m. Monday - Thursday, then 7:00 to noon on...

good morning... I'm up way earlier than I want to be considering I had to work 5 hours of overtime this week, and I'm TIRED! There's been lots going on so I'm going to try to catch you up really quick... My sister and mom will be with me for a week starting tomorrow... my sister had her...

thanks everyone! Sorry I haven't been around... seems like I never have time for anything... I miss you all! *hug*

Christmas is all over here... it's back to work tomorrow... every time I start to get things a little picked up the kids open something else and I have to start all over... we had Christmas Eve dinner here, went to my mom's on Christmas morning after we opened our gifts and got back yesterday...

good morning, everyone! I am not at work today since Piper got the stomach bug Matthew had over the weekend... we were up until 12:30 this morning... she's finally stopped being sick and no more bathroom issues at this point so luckily it only lasts about 24 hours... so hopefully no one else...

good afternoon! work is over for the weekend and we're expecting snow... UGH I HATE snow! I did get to leave early enough to go to the kids parties at school so I'm glad of that at least... I still have to finish my shopping although we shopped online some to get cheaper prices... Chris -...
