Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year! To all my fellow bloggers!

I hope the New year is filled with many wonderful things! 

For myself, I'm hoping to have a good year, filled with many changes and hopefully good things.

I'm hoping to put more into my blog, change some things and add some things. Looking forward to lots of excitement this year!

Much Love!

New year

Now that Christmas is over and done with its time to start thinking ahead to the New Year! 

I had planned to go to my sisters house but the snow and the kids being sick postponed 

that trip till I think Tuesday or Wednesday.

So my plan for the new year... I want to finally have a clean and nicely decorated home that I can have people over to without being embarrassed or that I have to run around cleaning like a mad woman before some one comes over. 

I follow quite a few blogs on here that have wonderful advice on how to achieve this without losing ones mind. I'm not sure yet how to link them here but if you browse through my sidebar I'm sure you can find them. 

I think what I'm going to do is start taking pictures (As soon as I get my camera back lol) of what I want or need to change and some of my plans on how I'm going to do it. I had all of the pictures of how the apartment looked when I moved in (horrible) but they are on a zip drive with the tech guy at work so I have to wait till I get that back before I begin posting before and afters. I'm thinking I'm going to start with the front entrance being that is pretty much where I left off before I ran out of money in the summer time when we went back to work and school! 

Okay off to start cooking a late dinner and possibly to start cleaning the land fill that my kids call a bedroom! I will take before pictures and put them up at a later time!

The day after...

Its the day after Christmas.

I hope everyone had a good one! I went between the two, I had a good Christmas but felt a little blah because it was our (mine and the kids) first Christmas alone together since their dad left. I wanted to do so many things for them much grander than I did and felt really crappity crap that I didn't do many of the things that I had planned. 

They had a great Christmas though (Thats what they keep saying) My girl told me that even if Santa only brought them each one gift as long as she has her family she would still have a great time. She is such a love. Could have also been a bribe for Santa to bring extra gifts but I'm going to err on the side of innocence.

So now its Sunday, both kids have developed fevers and scratchy throats, I have been looking for the telltale signs of Strep but neither has any white spots in their throats so its good. Hopefully its a virus and not an infection and it shall pass. If they aren't better by Monday or Tuesday I will call their doc and see what she recommends. 

Right now Girl is playing in a warm bath and boy is laying on his bed waiting for her to finish so he can take a turn! Me I'm hoping it doesn't spread... to me. But I'm sure I will not escape unscathed! lol

So I'm off to enjoy another cup of coffee and see if I can scare up something sweet to go with it!

P.S. It has been snowing since this morning and doesn't look like its going to stop anytime soon, I sent the ex to the grocery store when he came to see the kids, and he got milk and Half & Half (you know the essentials lol) And I left my camera at my sisters house on Christmas eve and Can't find the cord to the old one so until I find it I have no pictures!

Sleep with one eye open

At least once a year (especially during Christmas) we like to put things on the cat... and we never learn.


grrr can't figure out how to turn the picture on here. I need my computer back!

How?

How do people who write blogs do it?

I'm intrigued do you write whats going on in your head on paper then sit down to write your blog? or do you simply wing it and sit at the computer and stare at the screen and type?

I'm an extremely quiet person, I have a million ideas in my head to post on here then once I sit down to write I go blank!

I guess as time goes by I will get it... 

Happy Thanksgiving!

It feels like I haven't been on the internet in so long! 

We have moved! Not very far just downstairs from our old apartment.

I'm still going through the process of getting divorced from my ex. who decided to move across the country for 3 months to live with a woman he met on the internet. Yeah I know totally crappy. Surprise surprise she wasn't anything he expected! So its just me and my kids in our little apt. living happily most of the time...

 So its Thanksgiving a time to be thankful for the things in our life, I really am, I have come through alot and I can still stand up and say that.

Hopefully I will get back into posting again soon, so many things have gone on since my last post I would really like to tell you about. But for now I leave you with this picture...

Thats my sweet cat looking really cute just before he stole a huge piece of turkey off the dining room table.

Mid century modern

I started following a bunch of Mid-century modern blogs lately. I myself have never been one to look at mid-century furniture (I'm more about romantic country cursvyness.) but I find myself drawn to these blogs. I love the colors and textures and I have to say the blog owners have great style!

 On the homefront nothing much has changed I'm still living with the ex and have started looking for my own place with the kids. Its really hard to find a suitable place that we can afford!

 We're really excited to be spending the weekend in Pa with my sisters and my nephews for Memorial day! 

Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!!
