School is almost out. Wednesday is the last full day of school and then the kids go Thursday long enough to pick up their final report cards and clean out their lockers. I think all the library books have been rounded up and turned in. So we are good to go! Bring on the summer!

Summer Vacation
Sunday, May 20th, 2012Dogs and Footwear
Saturday, May 19th, 2012Today seems to be all about dogs and footwear, LOL! I just now discovered that not only did Scooter destroy my work boots but he also managed to chew up my ash bowie sneakers that I just got for Christmas. I’ve never owned any wedge sneaker heels and always wanted a pair so my older sister was nice enough to buy me a pair that she found online for my Christmas present just 5 months ago.
I don’t think that I have the guts to tell her what happened to them, she isn’t all that crazy about dogs anyway and this would just really tick her off. So not only do I have to find new work boots but I have to find a new pair of these wonderful wedge sneakers that I can get to replace and hopefully keep the peace in the family. Looks like I have my work cut out for me tomorrow inside on the computer. Oh well, it’s supposed to rain all day tomorrow, so I’m glad that we got to enjoy the good weather day today.
New Red Wing Boots Thanks to Scooter
Saturday, May 19th, 2012Looks like I’m going to have to buy another pair of women’s red wing boots, since Scooter (our dog) decided that he didn’t appreciate being left alone in the house this afternoon while we all enjoyed a nice picnic with several family members outside with this beautiful weather that we have been blessed with this weekend. Scooter has never done anything like this before, usually I let him outside with us but for some reason that didn’t happen and now I’ve got to find some new work boots and fast.
If I can get hubby off of his favorite site on the computer called “put this on” I might be able to find a pair and get them ordered in a timely fashion with some of the money that I have left from this week’s paycheck. Having to use this money to replace my boots will certainly take away from my lunch money for the next two weeks. Looks like I’ll be packing home made lunches for a while, sigh.
A Day for Me
Sunday, May 13th, 2012This has been a really nice Mother’s Day. I had several glorious hours to myself this afternoon and I took full advantage of them.
Dinner was a strange combination of things that I like and felt like cooking. And I’ll watch TV until it’s time to hit the sack and get ready for another work week.
It’s been great so far. Happy Mother’s Day to all my friends who are mothers!
My Late Night Sweet Tooth
Monday, April 30th, 2012I don’t know what got over me at the grocery store the other night. I spent way too money and came home with a ton of chocolates. There isn’t a piece of chocolate in this house and I have been craving chocolate each night the past week, which I haven’t been able to produce to satisfy that driving craving that hits you late at night, when you are too tired to go out anywhere to get what you are so wanting.
It has been a couple of months since the Christmas holidays have come and gone. Along with it went all the Christmas goodies that end up in the house that time of year. Cakes, pies, cookies, candies, chocolates and all the wonderful deserts that people make during that festive holiday season. The house is back to normal (or as normal as it will ever be) and there isn’t a trace of last year’s festivities and summer is on it’s way!
When I went grocery shopping they were having a massive sale on their chocolates and I couldn’t make up my mind on which ones to get so I went a little crazy and bought a bunch of different kinds, just in case. I now have a good sized bowl in the kitchen filled with a nice variety of chocolates that should keep my night time cravings in check for a few months.
