I look so old in this picture, guess I look 40 in this one. I don't think this is too accurate about me, the good is true but I don't think I am flaky or irresponsible. Where did they get their facts from?

40th Birthday

Well, Saturday was my 40th Birthday and I was sick, the whole weekend. Didn't go to work on Monday, and find out today, that they threw me a surprise party and I wasn't even there to celebrate. Not good at all. The year 2008 has bit the big one in my opinion. First, on New Years Day, I find out that someone that was in my house, stole my sons IPOD. This got me made me mad, but I got over it and said I didn't care to have any of my kids friends over, because one of them is the one that stole it. Second, the kids that were already here, decided to throw the power pack for Allison's lap top off the balcony, where my camera just happened to be sitting. Broke the glass on the display, had to ship it to New Jersey in order for it to be repaired. Ending up costin $305 to repair it. Still waiting for it to be shipped back. I have all these pictures I want to take and don't have my camera.





Here is some pictures of Brandon and Allison playing Rock Star. Fun game, I am just not very good at it.








Thanks for lissening to my rants.

Happy New Year

My first post for the year 2008. Spent the day alone, which was good, went to Michael's and bought some crafty stuff to finish my Prima container. Went to my friend Gayle's liquor store and spent some time with her. Came home to a house full of kids, not all mine, but that has been the way it has been for the last two weeks.

So happy New Year to all.

After Christmas news

Had a good Christmas, just seemed like it came too fast and I wasn't prepared for it. The bad thing is I didn't take a single picture, what kind of scrapbooker am I???? Haven't taken down the tree, it was only decorated because the kids we had staying out our house while we were at the IL's decorated it for me. Opened Christmas present on Christmas Eve because the kids bought their own presents, and they knew what they were getting. What a bad MOM I am. Busy at work, makes MOM a bad MOM.

Here are some pictures of Allison in Tennesse that I promised a while ago.





Have a Happy New Year.

Brandon's 18th Birthday

I forgot to mention Brandon's birthday on December 3. He got Guitar Hero III for his XBox 360. He then went and got another tatoo on his other arm. Still haven't taken him out to eat his Birthday dinner. Don't know why him turning 18 is hard on me, could be that it will not be long before he is out of the house, or maybe it is the fact that I am getting old.

Got the Christmas tree up. Decorating is tomorrow.

Long time

It has been a long time since I have had time to blog. Allison went to Sevierville TN for another dance competition. They came in 3rd place. But their competition was extremely good, their coaches finally realized they needed to bump it up 2 or 3 notches. It was a tiring trip but fun.

Still have yet to put the tree up. Will do tomorrow or I will be lying on this post. Just not in the Christmas spirit so far this year. I will eventually have it, but it will be late as with everything I have been doing.

Haven't had time to scrap but hopefully once the New Year comes around, there will be time for that.

Will have photos of Allison in Sevierville Events Center on a later post. We had fun, with her posing and me playing photographer. I think they came out looking good, but have to down load them to the computer yet.

Thanksgiving

Same old thing, going to the in-laws. Wanting to make our own Thanksgiving dinner. Michael and I haven't done that for 6 year now. Would truly love to be able to have some of our friends over for Thanksgiving. Will be thinking of my parents. Wish they could come one year and spend Thanksgiving with us. It has been 6 years since they have spent Thanksgiving with us. Just seems like a sad time of year. Guess I should be thankful that my kids and Michael will be there. Who cares about everyone else.

Here is something I did with my name from Blogthings.
