Bag Tag!

Oh how I love these and I finally get a turn! Thanks Adie!! I've been wondering if I'd ever see this day where I get to share the nasty-ness going on in my purse! In the midst of dumping all my stuff out and taking pics, I got it cleaned out! YAY! That was a long time coming, boy did I need it! Lucky for you all - you get to see what was TRULY going on in there, because now it would be pretty boring.
Okay brace yourselves....

My bag (yes it's HUGE! I LOVE big big bags!)-

Its contents (yep everything even ALL the crumbs of cereal, candy, etc)-

Lets see~ some cars, lollipops, Kylie's lip gloss, Catholic Devotional, Rosary, pull ups, wipes, ziplock of fruitloops, fruit snacks, lotion, hand sanitizer, circus tickets, breath mints, baggie with my lipstick/gloss in it, pictures, tylenol, coupon book, crap, crap and more crap!

This is the stuff from a pocket inside-

Gum, nail file, cuticle cream, nail clippers, more lip stuff, more candy.

And since it's bigger I took my wallet separately:


Hope you all enjoyed that! And now I have a cleaned out purse!! WOOHOO!!!

I love Saturdays!

And oh how I love them so!
I don't really have much to post about...I really need to charge my camera battery, well while I'm thinking about it..hold on.................
k - i'm back. Wow am I the only one who when going to do ONE thing it turns into like 5 things?? I went to put my battery on the charger and in doing so - I ended up: Getting my son dressed (found him outside w/ his sister just in a shirt and diaper and no shoes!), threw some garbage away, ate a piece of pizza, and vacuumed under my couch cushions!!! HAHAHA! Wow am I random or WHAT?? Oh went ahead since I already HAD the vacuum out - vacuumed my living room floor...lol. Well at least I was a bit productive in the midst of my INITIAL goal!
BTW - Kylie had a sleepover last night and they took all the couch cushions off my couch to make a fort to sleep in, hence vacuuming under the cushions :-)
It was her first sleepover and boy did they have a blast! I'm so happy that she is finally enjoying it out here and making friends!!!

So quick story:
Every Friday night (well most) we have a pizza/movie night.

Hubby on phone yesterday: "Should I just pick up some of those hot and ready's on my way home from work since they are so cheap?"

Me: "Yea, that would be perfect!"

Him: "K - cool"

Later I get a text: "I got 10 pizzas and a 2 liter! Hope your hungry!"

Thought in my head: "WTF?? 10?"

I immediately called him: "why did you get 10?"?

Him: "Well they were so cheap! And I initially ordered 6 and the guy said if I order 4 more he'll throw in a 2 liter!"

In my head AGAIN: WTF????? (and why were you even ordering 6)

In conclusion, I guess ordering 4 more pizzas that we SOOOO did not need is TOTALLY worth a free 2 liter of soda!

So much for the "cheap" deal - it turned into a 40 dollar pizza night, when it could have been $12 bucks! Oh well - at least we know whats for breakfast, lunch AND dinner for the next few days! LOL oh and BTW we ate 3 pizzas out of the 10 (they were mediums)
I think he feels pretty silly now - I don't know if I'm ever gonna be able to not make fun of him about this one! Love ya babe!

Fat Tuesday

So I just learned what this was all about today. Since tomorrow is the beginning of Lent "Fat Tuesday" is get everything out of your system because you are cut off after that for 40 days!" LOL.
I will be fasting tomorrow as well as no chocolate for 40 days. YEP I said it...NO chocolate for 40 days! So MY "Fat Tuesday" will not consist of TOO much partying except with me and my bag of Chips Ahoy cookies!! I may have some emotional posts in the near future so hold tight..hahahaha!

This is actually a very important Lent for me. I never really got into it before, but since I am starting to get really connected with church again - I am very excited for this! I can't believe how much I have learned in these past few months! It's aweeesssooome! And I am happy to report and let you all know that Jarett and I will be getting our marriage blessed by the Catholic church on April 12th (Easter). We met with our priest today and he said he wouldn't mind doing it after the last mass on that day since a lot of our family will be here!! How cool is that! We never got to "renew" our vows for our 10 year anniversary last month, so I am very excited that we are getting to do this!!! YAY!!

The kids and I got to play outside today for a couple hours. It was a bit chilly but bearable until the sun started going down. I busted out with their jumping castle and they loved it! (well Kylie and the neighbors kids, Josh was a bit intimidated) They had a blast and it was fun chatting with my neighbor friends. Our neighborhood is just so awesome and I love the people around here!! People in the South are just so darn friendly!! LOVE IT!

Until next time~

Monday..Monday

Just another super exciting Monday! HAHA! We had a pretty low key weekend. Yesterday we went to church and then took the kids to McDonald's. We did our usual Wal-mart get your stuff for the week trip.
Getting Kylie to go to bed after having a week vacation was quite a task. She was NOT happy..LOL. And we even let her stay up past 10! Of COURSE it was nearly impossible getting her up this morning - I totally had to be that mean annoying mom that I swore I'd never be...turning on her lights, pulling off the covers, and threats. Oh So Fun! Needless to say - she got up. I think it was the "your gonna be grounded from playing outside with your friend for the rest of the week if you don't get up NOW!" that did the trick. Gotta love being a parent LOL!!
At least tonight she should have NO problems going to bed at 7 - yep her bedtime now is 7! She doesn't have to be asleep by 7 - but she needs to be in bed in her jammy's by then and she can watch some t.v. She usually passes out pretty quick.
Soooo, not much else. Just sittin' here at my computer when I should be doing housework. Why can't housework be as fun as being on the computer??? My house would be SPOTLESS!! HAHA!
Well have a good week everyone!
Oh P.S. It's FREEZING here again - it was 25 when I took Kylie to school this morning and it was COLD!! BRRRRRRRRRRR

Bitter Sweet Saturday

Bitter because our visitor (MIL) left today
Sweet because I went to confession today!
I cannot express how relieved I am that I did that! I honestly didn't think I'd ever see this day.
What an amazing feeling! I am so blessed!

1-3 are courtesy of Mar this week.

And...here we go!

1. Give me a dolla and I'll make ya holla.

2. Whenever life gets rough..take a nap.

3. I wish my family all lived here.

4. Peanut Buster Parfait was the last thing I ate that was utterly delicious.

5. To live in this world takes some serious strength!!!

6. Other than this one, The Good The Bad and The Beautiful is the last blog I commented on.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to drinking lots of wine, tomorrow my plans include going to confession and Sunday, I want to sleep in & go to church!

I'm Nervous

Really really nervous!
I have not been to confession at church in YEARS!! I am ready to do it now, but oh man not looking forward to it. Well actually I am looking forward to it BEING DONE! LOL!
24 Years of confessions IS NOT gonna be pretty!


Some of you may know, but others might not - I have gotten back into the Catholic Church, and am VERY excited about it! I went through a period where I wasn't sure that that is what I wanted or if I wanted to raise my kids that way. I've just been praying alot about it.
After moving here we did some "church shopping" I have found an amazing church out here that we all just LOVE! And since I have been receiving Holy Communion again (which I have learned that's why I need to go to confession...oops) I just have had feelings come over me that I cannot deny!
I know this is the path that God wants me on -
and I want nothing more than to please Him!

I took a 6 week course called "Catholics Returning Home" and it was an awesome awesome class! I wish it never ended! I learned alot - and am excited to say its only the beginning!

I'm Back

Sooo, I haven't blogged in awhile!
Don't fret...I will always return!! HAHA!
We've had a visitor this week! Woohoo!! Oh how we love visitors out here! It's my mother-in-law. The kids are thrilled! Nana does WHATEVER they want...hehe! Gives us a nice breather from the kids also. Especially Joshy...that boy has been SOOO clingy since we moved here, and now with her here he has given me some breathing room! She leaves on Saturday already...man the time flies - always!! I'm excited though because I talked to my mom last night on the webcam and she is gonna come out again already!! Probably early March for just like 5 days! Then LOTS of people are coming for Easter!! Then we are going there in June or July!! So needless to say...we love our family!!!!
Just can't get enough of em'

Valentines Cupcakes

I spent quite sometime last night making these for Kylie's class. They turned out SO cute and were quite a hit! YAY! The party was alot of fun and Josh had a blast! I even gave him lollipops to put in each of the kids' boxes - he loved doing that!

Irritated

I got irritated yesterday....and this made me smile

and yes..this pertains to why I got irritated!?? some people..I just don't get them??

1. It seems like people get more and more annoying by the minute

2. ummm yeah..could you do that next when you're done, please?

3. If I thought you wanted to do THAT I'd tell you lets go baby!

4. Kissie Kissie is what I think of most when I think of you.

5. To me, Valentine's Day means bow chicka wah wah.

6. Caffiene gives me strength.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I'm looking forward to sleeping, tomorrow my plans include sleeping in and Sunday, I want to nap!

Random

I'm in a "random" kind of mood today. I SHOULD be in a "cleaning" mood, but I'm not (nor am I ever!lol). My MIL is coming on Friday! I'm excited, we haven't seen her since November. Hence the "should be in a cleaning mood". I hate cleaning like I mean I REALLY REALLY hate it! I don't mind like organizing stuff, but when it comes to picking up and deep cleaning crap...UGHHHHH I hate it!! I would SOO much rather be on the computer...hahahaha...no really I'm serious. LOL.

Last night Kylie had a Valentines program. It was SO cute! SHE seemed like she could have cared less (would've rather gone to the park with our neighbor), but we enjoyed it..lol. I cannot get over how many Kinders there are at her new school! 10 Classes!! That's a serious amount of kiddos and parents - needless to say it was a bit of a madhouse last night.
Kylie mentioned to me when she got home yesterday that she had a bad day UGH! She said kids were being mean...I swear...as a parent you just want to slap some of these kids upside the head (oops did I say that out loud?). She wouldn't get into details (again more anxious to go play her neighbor friend) but she seemed fine. She really seems to be able to brush things off right away...at least that's the impression I get.
Good for her! I think that's a GREAT trait to have (one that I lack, I tend to get and stay allll bitter).

Anyways....other than trying to get my house clean for our visitor - I've just been trying to get involved with our church, and Kylie's class. I am helping her class on Friday for their Valentines party (making cupcakes, setting up, etc). She also wants me to come have lunch with her and read to her class tomorrow. So I'll probably do that. I am volunteering at the church nursery again this evening and we are getting our photo taken for the church directory. I am also going to join their Mother's Guild and hopefully start being a teacher's aide for one of their classes on Sundays. I'm also attending a seminar next week for a couple hours and might go on an afternoon retreat at the end of the month. Plus I still have one more class left that I've been taking for the past 5 weeks. PHEW! Now that's how you keep busy!!

I really really like it here, and actually quite thankful that we've had an opportunity for a new adventure like this! Not too mention Jarett already got promoted!!! This is absolutely positively where we are meant to be...I just know it.

Until next time ~

Who ME? Why Thank you!!
