100th Post

Don't get your hopes for a special post. I don't have anything planned. Heck, I have been nothing but a sucky blogger these past few months. :(

Whats going on with me? I dropped one of my classes the other day, I will be taking it this summer instead. I feel like I should have stuck it out, but life has been overwhelming me a lot lately. It comes at me hard and fast, then my nerves get out of whack and I go into monster mode. I felt to partially keep my sanity I needed to step back from a class and focus on my online class. I do not like to settle for anything lower than a C, preferably B, and last semester ended up awful IMO.

Some good news is that Cora turned 5 last Wednesday. She will start Kindergarten in the Fall. Its a bittersweet event for me, because she will be my last baby. I have no future plans for more children. Alex had an easy transition changing schools and he seems to love LCHS.

That is all for us.

Hope to blog again soon

Can I just say that my family is great!

So my keyboard finally came in and I don't think I like it. :( Its really neat looking and I am still using it, but I am making more spelling mistakes now than before. I either hit the shift key wrong or miss the space bar all together.


My main reason to blog tonight, when I should be in bed so I can get up and to school in the morning is because:

My grandfather bought me (my family of 4) a Wii YAY I am so excited, I have been wanting Wii. Well actually I wanted a Wii fit but over Christmas the kids and I played my cousins Wii Sports and Play. I know that as a family we all will enjoy it, plus the kids love cow racing. LOL

My grandfather actually called me out of the blue a few weeks back and wanted to know if I was going shopping the next day. He then preceded to tell me he wanted me to find myself Wii and he was going to buy it. I interjected that I wasn't sure how much hey were and he said he didn't care, he wanted me to find 2 so he could have one. I looked for a few weeks with every store in our area were out of stock.

Later his wife called and asked me to lie to my grandfather and tell him I only could find one an she thought he would want me to have it. But I lucked out and went into Wal-mat today and they were putting Wii fits up and i asked about the sports one. I ended up calling my grandfathers wife and she came over to buy them I had to buy mine because they only sell 1 per customer, but she paid me back once we got in the parking lot.

We havent set it up yet because Corey has never played. I want to set it up and show him ho to play before the kids turn into Wii zombies and eat anything/one that tries to take their remote.
hope everyone had great Christmas and New Years1

Bloggy Break

but only because I have to. I know if you are reading you are thinking she doesn't post all the time anyhow so what's the big deal? Right?

Well the other day a Mt. Dew was knocked over on my keyboard. I thought I cleaned it well, but apparently I didn't. It now has some super sticky keys here and there. For example the w key makes extra w's at times and takes 5 minutes to get back in its position. As does the space bar. Now some of the other keys have issues also, but they aren't as bad yet. Its still kind of usable but its more of a hassle then fun.

I have ordered a new keyboard and I am hoping I like it. Its one of those new silicon ones that can be rolled up and is washable. I thought it looked neat and couldn't resist ordering it. I can't find my old keyboard, which I searched for yesterday for hours.

RIP nice gateway keyboard.

Hope everyone had a wonderful new years eve and that the year starts off well for you all.

Hope to be posting again soon.

We survived

Oh my! Christmas was so overwhelming this year. In the past years we seem to have gone everyone except my moms on Christmas Day for dinner and presents, but this year that was the start of our Christmas Adventure.

The kids really enjoyed everything that Corey and I got them, plus Santa did an awesome job this year. I really need to send a big thank you to the North Pole. ;)

Alex's favorite Santa gift was a MP3 player, because he has been wanting one since i received one last year and I have been telling him he wasn't old enough. Great Idea to overrule me Santa, I will remember that. :P Corey decided that 7.5 years of age was old enough for a Red Ryder BB Gun and that thing is a hit! I think I have officially shot my first gun. lol I waited till Corey was working and told Alex to show me how to work it. He even told me how to aim, even though he isn't perfect at it. I sent Corey a text telling him I cold hit a coke can all by myself with the BB Gun. He laughed at me, but I held my head up high. Alex was/is a little upset with me. I kind of keeping stealing his gun when he goes out to shoot, so I can shoot some. I wonder if I could handle a real gun, doubt it. I am not really into guns.........

Cora came out pretty well this year also. Santa brought her a Plasma Car, I don't know if that is the only car that he could "make" that could possible hold our BT Mack. Cora asked for one and even if Mack won't ride the car, he could if he chose to. ::) I love my crazy Cora. I really think that I was really bad this year or something, because Santa wants to drive me crazy with that car. Both kids like it and want to ride it, plus even without a motor the wheels are loud on the kitchen floor and right now that is the best place to ride. She also got a Vtech laptop that she has been asking for forever. Its pink and I got her cute purse/tote to carry it around in.

We still went to my moms Christmas Day for dinner and stuff, then dinner at MIL on the 26th, presents at my g-dads on the 27th (plus that was my B"day and we did cake and presents for that), finally on the 28th we spent all day (min. of 12 hours) at mother in laws. It ended better than it started and I really enjoyed it.

Hope all of your Christmas celebrations went well and that the New Year brings everyone something great.

Santa almost lost their presents.

So my husband has been remodeling a camper for months now. It was parked in front of our garage/carport area that we don't park in. The kids are older now and its harder to hide presents from them.

Corey thought the camper would be the perfect place. The kids would not be messing with it and all was well. They were all put in there for safe keeping. The owner of the camper hadn't called about it recently and we assumed it would be after Christmas when he came to pick it up.

Well Monday I was out looking at houses with my grandmother and some other family members. When I got home I didn't look for the camper, but as soon as Corey got home he asked me where it was. I didn't know it was gone, but I remembered that after I got home I had taken some garbage to the outside trash can and both were side by side. That wasn't how they were when I had left. I still didn't think anything of it.

Well the camper was missing and I didn't get anything out of it. We couldn't reach the owner, but Corey got in touch with his son and we were able to go pick it the gifts up. The son never checked inside the camper, he just hooked it up and pulled off since no one was home.

Crisis was averted, but next time i will store presents in something that isn't "movable".
