Coming Soon.....

I just uploaded over 100 photos to my computer. As soon as I go through them all I'll update you on our crazy Christmas celebration!

Don't cha wish...

Don't cha wish I would update my blog? I bet you don't really care. Well you would think that with no tv to watch that I would have a new post everyday. I don't. I have plenty to blog about but I'm too busy cyber shopping, reading other blogs, and just being lazy that I don't really want to take the time to write my thoughts out. It's exhausting to just think back at all I need to blog about and then I just talk myself out of it because it will take too much time.

Oh, trust me though, my cousin Ginger and I have thought of plenty of funny posts I could do. We laugh about them for days. But I worry that they would only be funny to us and then I would get looked at like I need to be locked up in the looney bin. Yes, all that tv watching has fried my brain and I probably deserve to be put away for a while, just for the safety of my family. But they let me roam free for now.

So if I don't get around to it, Happy Holidays everyone!

My Crazies..... New Post

A preview of my new crazy mind post.......







Let's be Honest Here........
I've heard of women getting depressed after blog stalking. I wondered to myself, what are they getting depressed about. Then someone informed me that women get depressed when they read about all the superwomen out there that can accomplish so much in so little time. They make most of us feel like inadequate mothers or wives.
What the crazy people. Let me give you an idea of what one may find on a blog to make them feel like they are a failure.



(These are just made up and although inspired by actual blog entries, they are fictional)





~To let my children all know how much I loved them, I whipped up these personalized story books for each of them. They are the main character in their own book and they go on an adventure that shows how they each use their own special talents to fight the evil villain and save the day. I hope to make a whole series for them as they grow into adulthood. It will help them look back and see all the good choices they have made in their lives.

(My crazy blog is set to private because some people may be offended by my personality. I would hope that if you ask to be invited to view it that you know me well enough to know that I mean no harm by my words and I just want to make people laugh because they are probably thinking the same thing.)

More Family Pictures

Amanda Laing (Look at her website for more pics) took some more pictures of our family. This time is was my whole family. They turned out so cute. Thanks for putting up with my crazy kids again!

Tray was so difficult this day but his pictures turned out so cute. Thanks for putting up with all the hard work Amanda.

I Just Died a Little Inside

I know that most everyone is feeling that financial crunch. I've been using the approach of ignorance when it comes to our finances. Today I actually sat down and wrote out what we need to make each month to pay the bills that we currently have. We were a few dollars short for our monthly expenses so we are working out a budget. Well one thing we decided we could cut back on was our tv package.
I cried as I was clicking on the button to downsize our programing package. Being dead serious I had tears running down my cheeks and I still get a little choked up when I think about it. I am pathetic. I have centered my life around my tv. I have a tv schedule for everyday of the week and I never miss a show. So I'm holding a brief memorial for the shows that have died today.

Who knows, with all this free time I'll have maybe my house will get cleaned, my kids will get some attention, I'll bake more sweets, and maybe I'll even pick up running on the treadmill. But most likely you'll find my glued to the computer screen watching You Tube to catch up on all my favorite shows.
