Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day everyone! Hope all you mom's are having a splendid day. I had a great weekend being with all my kiddos. Today I am enjoying some quiet ME time, which I savor. :) Yesterday spent almost all day with my 20 year old son, his girlfriend, my 16 year old son and my 12 year old daughter. Today my daughter is shopping with her friend and both of my sons went back to my oldest son's apartment. This evening my daughter and my 16 yo will be home and we will have a low key evening, me just enjoying them!

However you decide to celebrate, I hope it is a great one!

Happy New Year (30 days late)

I am trying to learn how to make a post from my phone! I live under a rock so its my first attempt :).

I've been busy with work and trying to keep whatever sanity I have intact. Not an easy task let me tell you!

Plus I've been buried underneath about 3 feet of snow since the first of December. So anything we do we have to take that into consideration as well.

Now that I've figured out how to post from my phone I might post more than once every 3 months!

Grandparents

My grandparents are moving back to our area today. To say I am excited is an extreme understatement. I love my grandparents sooo much and am very thankful that at almost 40 I still have both of them. They are 86 and 85 and still live very much independently. They moved one state away to be closer to my uncle and to live a little more south for easier weather. This was 8 years ago. Their daughter, my mom, myself, and my two sisters and all of our families are up here. They decided that they wanted to spend as much time with us as they could and they also wanted to down size. So they are moving to a senior apartment complex in my hometown and I could not be more excited. They will be rolling into town tomorrow afternoon and we will spend all day moving them in and getting them set up. It has been raining the last two days, so I hope the skies clear. If not, it would still be worth it!

It's the little things...

Is it sad when you think you have accomplished *something* when you actually take a shower AND shave your LEGS? That's how I feel today, folks. Whew, don't have to think about that again for awhile!

Fall and Football!

I love fall! It is my favorite season. Since I am in the midwest we are lucky to have all four seasons. We get hot hot in the summer and cold cold in the winter. But Fall is that wonderful time of year when during the day it can be in the 70's and down to 50 at night. I love the morning and the crisp air. I love fall decorations and fall colors. Ahhh, I LOVE it's almost October!! <3

I also love fall because it's FOOTBALL season baby! I have spent the whole day today watching football with my 16 year old son. Pure heaven!

What I have been busy doing...

Here is what I did last weekend:

It was very yummy! I tried to duplicate Yin and Yang from the Melting Pot. It's white chocolate and mild chocolate fondue - swirled together. MMMMM good.

2 months sure does go by fast!

Well, we are all moved! Although we only moved 25 miles away, it seems a lot longer. I love our new place!!! We are in a townhome, in a townhome community. It's like a park in our backyard! We have a pool, sand volleyball, 2 playgrounds, picnic benches and grills... all about 20 steps from our back door. It's really nice. My daughter has gotten a ton of use out of the pool already and this is only our second week here.

It's going well with the husband and I. It's been an adjustment living together again and it hasn't all been rays of sunshine but for the most part it is great being back together. Marriage is work and when you are alone you don't have to work on anything if you don't want to :)

Our summer so far went from 60's and raining to BAM 90's and muggy, hot and shitty. Since I hate the heat, I wasn't thrilled.

Must run now, but will be back soon!
